My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

In the headquarters of Shangqing Immortal Sect.

The melodious bell rang nine times in a row.

This is the bell that rings when an emergency occurs within the sect and summons the elders to discuss the matter.

A moment later, inside the hall.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

They have already learned the news that Deng Zhonghun's tablet was broken.

In the Shangqing Immortal Sect, it has been nearly a million years since any elder-level high-ranking official died.

Although Deng Zhong's strength is not that strong among the elders, now he has reincarnated and cultivated again with only the cultivation level of a pseudo-immortal.

But his identity as an elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect is his greatest amulet.

The Shangqing Immortal Sect is the undisputed overlord of the Second Heaven. Not to mention the forces in a small spiritual land, even those three-star forces would never dare to attack Deng Zhong as long as he revealed his identity.

"What do you think?"

Amidst the silence, Sect Leader Ling Tian spoke.

A serious-looking, skinny, white-haired old man spoke.

"I think you, Sect Master, have misjudged it."

Ling Tian glanced at the old man.

If someone else said this directly, he would probably get angry.

But even he has to give some face to this person.

This person is none other than Tai Shuyuan, the second elder of Shangqing Xianmen. Although he ranks second, his strength is still above that of the first elder Zhu She. He is also the strongest person in the sect besides Ling Tian. He usually manages many affairs of the sect and his prestige is the highest among all the elders.

He was the only one who dared to criticize Ling Tian directly to his face.

Therefore, Ling Tian did not get angry, but asked: "Oh, why did the Second Elder say that?"

Tai Shuyuan said in a deep voice: "Before that, Sect Master, please tell me if you have seen anything from the fragments of the Ninth Elder's soul tablet."

Ling Tian shook his head: "If we had seen something, this sect would have told us long ago. Could it be that this sect master would deliberately keep us in suspense?"

"Even though this sect master used a secret technique, he was unable to glimpse the Ninth Elder's final moments before his death from within the fragments."

"There is only one possibility for this situation to occur."

"That means the Ninth Elder used his Void Spirit Secret Technique to transform into a Void Spirit Body."

"In a situation like this, only he knows what he saw."

Second Elder Tai Shuyuan nodded: "If that's the case, then it means the enemy is no small matter. They were able to force the Ninth Elder to transform into a spirit body, but still couldn't escape their clutches."

"Does Sect Master think that Zhong Qing, a Three Tribulations Emperor from the Lower Realm, has the ability to do this?"

Ling Tian was silent.

He had to admit that this was indeed unlikely.

It is well known that the lower world is shrouded in a curse. Once contaminated, it is impossible to break through the pseudo-immortal realm.

As for the strong ones above the pseudo-immortal level, after being contaminated by the curse, they can no longer make any further progress and their path is cut off.

Although Ninth Elder Deng Zhong was only a First-Rank Pseudo-Immortal, he was defeated by a certain Three Tribulations Emperor who had used some special means. Even when he used his ethereal body, he still couldn't escape the calamity and had no chance of escape.

Not to mention the Three Tribulations Emperor, even a third-turn or even fourth-turn pseudo-immortal does not have this ability.

The Second Elder said in a deep voice, "That's why I said, Sect Master, you misjudged it."

"From the very beginning, I felt something was amiss. How could a commoner from the Lower Realm, a cursed Three Tribulations Emperor, have the audacity to rob my Shangqing Immortal Sect, kill my people, and even dare to come to the Upper Realm? Is he here to die?"

This statement was agreed upon by many elders.

First of all, the other party was cursed, and even with the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven and Earth, he couldn't break through to the pseudo-immortal level.

Secondly, having already offended the Shangqing Immortal Sect, he still ventured to the Second Heaven. How foolish was that? Since he had the power to kill Deng Zhong, wouldn't it be much safer to just stay in the Lower Realm? Who would be willing to risk their own path to the Lower Realm to kill someone?

The Second Elder continued, "There are only two possibilities for him to dare to do this. One is that he wasn't an Emperor from the beginning, but a Pseudo-Immortal. And not just an ordinary Pseudo-Immortal, but at least above the Fourth Rank."
