Urban Cultivation of Immortal Emperor Invincible

Chapter 239 The intensification of the conflict between the two factions

The great elder said with a worried look.

"That's more than a hundred people. Fu Jian, are you saying that they went to the volcanic area to look for treasures, but none of them have come out yet?"

Fu Jian nodded immediately and said with certainty.

"Yes, Great Elder, they led a team to explore the volcanic area for treasures, but they haven't come out yet. I'm afraid it's a bad thing."

After saying that, Fu Jian showed a sad expression on his face, as well as a trace of doubt.

After all, the reputation of the volcanic area in the Xiyuan Sect is extremely loud, especially the flame beasts, which are extremely powerful in combat. Every time the secret realm is opened, there are reports that some disciples have died in it.

The great elder shouted sharply.

"Fu Jian, don't talk nonsense, how can they be in danger?

Your senior brother Li has a strong cultivation level. Even if he encounters a giant flame beast, he will definitely have the ability to escape. Doesn't it have something to do with you that they didn't come out of the secret realm? "

Fu Jian immediately started performing at the level of an actor, speaking loudly with tears in his eyes.

"Great Elder, how can you say that? I have no enmity with Senior Brother Li, how could I harm him?

At that time, I dispersed with other disciples, planning to go to the volcanic area to search for resources, but unexpectedly, I met Senior Brother Li and others halfway.

I learned that they were also going to explore the volcanic area. I was afraid of misunderstanding, so I went to explore elsewhere. Since then, I have not seen each other again.

Besides, Senior Brother Li and the Second Elder are very powerful. With my own cultivation, can I possibly compete with them? The Great Elder really wronged me."

At this time, Fu Jian's acting skills were superb, with a sad expression on his face, two lines of tears squeezed out, and a trace of panic.

The elders around him also showed doubts when they saw Fu Jian's expression, feeling that what Fu Jian said should be true.

When the great elder heard Fu Jian's words, he thought for a moment, his face softened a little, but he still spoke extremely sternly.

"Okay, I believe you, elder. I will definitely investigate this matter again."

The great elder then asked the disciples about their whereabouts. The disciples all looked at a loss and had no idea of ​​their whereabouts.

The great elder's face suddenly darkened, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He kept thinking in his mind, why are most of the Supreme Elders' faction not coming out? As for the sect leader's faction, only a small number of people have not come out, so there must be something fishy among them.

The great elder's eyes became sharp, and he spoke directly to Fu Jian gloomily.

"Fu Jian, it's not that I don't believe it. Everything is just your words. For the sake of your innocence, I will use the soul-searching technique on you."

After saying that, the great elder formed a secret with both hands, preparing to use the soul-searching technique against the sword.

The surrounding elders immediately stopped the great elder, one of them said.

"Great Elder, this matter is too important. Fu Jian is also an elite disciple of our Xiyuan Sect. Senior Brother, we cannot use the soul-searching technique easily.

Besides, the whereabouts of Li Tianming and others are unknown, we still need to investigate clearly, and we must not unjustly accuse good people."

Other elders also agreed that caution should be exercised.

The great elder did not listen to the advice at all and was about to attack the sword. At this time, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped him directly.

"Great Elder, wait!"

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the person coming was none other than the leader of the Xiyuan Sect—Gu Jianchen

Gu Jianchen's figure flashed and he came to the front of the crowd and said with a serious face.

"Great Elder, this matter is indeed full of doubts. We still need to be cautious and must not wrongly accuse a good person."

After saying that, the ancient sect leader turned to look at Fu Jian and asked with concern on his face.

"Fu Jian, do you have anything to say about this matter? Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, my sect master will make the decision for you."

"Sect Master, if such a big thing happened in our sect, you didn't send someone to notify me."

A powerful momentum came over instantly, and the figure of an old man with gray hair appeared in front of everyone. The person who came was none other than the Supreme Elder.

The sect leader said expressionlessly.

"Tai Shang Elder, I have just learned about this matter. I haven't had time to investigate clearly yet. This is just the right time. Let's investigate together."

The Supreme Elder nodded slightly. After all, in front of so many disciples, the sect leader still had to give him enough face.

Fu Jian told what happened just now, always claiming that he was wronged.

After hearing this, the sect master and the Supreme Elder also looked puzzled. They had never encountered such a thing since the secret realm was opened.

Suddenly, the Supreme Elder said coldly.

"Since the great elder has doubts about the sword, I think we can take a soul search. It will only detect its recent memory and will not cause any harm to it."

The sect leader shook his head and said.

"Sir, your words are wrong. Although searching for souls is a trivial matter, its impact is extremely bad.

Who is willing to let others search for their souls? Then who do you think the disciples of the sects are? Can we, as sect leaders or elders, do this to our disciples?

Moreover, the matter was not investigated clearly, and Jiansouhun was dealt with based on suspicion. How could the disciples in the sect be convinced? "

As soon as this statement came out, all the disciples below started talking, and they all felt that the sect leader's statement was reasonable.

The great elder was just about to continue arguing, but the supreme elder interrupted first with a livid face.

"What the sect master said makes sense, but I didn't think it through carefully. I will make a decision after slowly investigating."

The sect leader was slightly startled when he heard this. He did not expect that the Supreme Elder did not refute, and his attitude was respectful and courteous.

There is definitely something fishy about this matter, but at this moment, I can’t guess what its purpose is? I can only make plans slowly after I go back.

Subsequently, the sect leader directly ordered everyone to return and undergo investigation.

After returning to the sect, the sect leader Gu Jianchen sat in the main hall with a gloomy face, thinking about what happened today.

He was extremely complicated in his heart. Although he weakened the power of the Supreme Elder, he also lost many disciples.

Li Tianming, the second elder and others were all elites of the Xiyuan Sect, and their death was undoubtedly a huge loss to the sect.

What made Gu Jianchen even more puzzled was that the Taishang Elder's side was greatly weakened, but he did not appear to be panicking as he imagined. Instead, he acted extremely calm.

There must be something fishy in it, Gu Jianchen thought to himself.

Gu Jianchen directly arranged for his trusted disciples and elders to always pay attention to the movements of the Supreme Elder and the others.

Later, Gu Jianchen sent a message to Fu Jian, asking him to meet in the main hall secretly.

In the middle of the night, a figure appeared outside the hall, it was Fu Jian.

He hurriedly came to Gu Jianchen and said seriously.

"Sect Master, what do you want from me?"

Gu Jianchen said majestically.

"Fu Jian, tell me, what happened in the secret realm today?"

After Fu Jian thought for a moment, he told everything, including killing Elder Li.

Of course, they also told the story about Ye Chen and others killing senior brother Li, the second elder and others.

Gu Jianchen was already shocked when he heard Fu Jian's words. He didn't expect that Ye Chen and the others were so powerful.

Thinking that they had just come to the sect some time ago, they immediately thought that they were definitely not good people and that they must have an ulterior motive for coming to the sect.

While the sect leader was deep in thought, Fu Jian continued.

"Sect Master, I know you are doubtful. They also want to meet you. How about I notify them to come?"

The ancient sect master thought for a moment and then nodded slowly. He wanted to see who Ye Chen was.

Fu Jian disappeared from the spot, and soon after, he brought Ye Chen and others to the main hall.

In the main hall, the lights were brightly lit. Gu Jianchen was sitting on the main seat of the main hall, looking at everyone with sharp eyes.

Ye Chen and others appeared one by one, with a hint of tiredness on their faces.

Fu Jian pointed at Ye Chen and others and said to Gu Jianchen.

"Sect Master, they are Ye Chen, Wang Fugui, Ye Xing..."

Gu Jianchen nodded slightly, but his eyes were always locked on Ye Chen, and he asked.

"Are you Ye Chen? Your strength is indeed extraordinary. I can't see through your true cultivation level.

Who are you from? What is the purpose of coming to our Xiyuan Sect? "

Ye Chen said calmly.

"Sect Master, I have neither joined any sect nor am I a spy of other sects. My purpose of coming to Xiyuan Sect is very simple, just to explore the passage to the world of immortality."

Gu Jianchen said with a sneer.

"It's so shameless, and it's full of lies. Do you think this sect leader is so easy to deceive?
