Qian Duoduo took out a Jade Slip to contact Palace Lord Tang Honggong.
Soon, Tang Honggong and Elder Hu from the mountain gate appeared before Qian Duoduo at the same time.
Elder Hu activated the bottom Formation, and after repeated checks, he said to Tang Honggong:
"Palace Lord, three days ago, Yu Yixiang was still in her Immortal Cave."
"And then?" Tang Honggong asked with a frown.
The sudden disappearance of Yu Yixiang, an Inner Sect Disciple of this mountain, surprised him as well.
"Then, her Qi instantly vanished."
Elder Hu hesitated for a moment. "I know this is impossible, but it truly happened this way."
Three days ago, Qian Duoduo was in the back mountain comprehending the Golden Life Devouring Dragon Art.
Tang Honggong and Elder Hu knew that the disappearance had nothing to do with Qian Duoduo.
Tang Honggong took out a Jade Slip.
"Sect Leader, something strange has happened here."
Niu Jinshui arrived and was slightly startled to see Qian Duoduo there.
Elder Hu explained what had happened, and a solemn expression appeared on Niu Jinshui's face.
A living person suddenly disappearing within an Immortal Cave was beyond his comprehension.
He and his Zhangzuo Dajiu together meticulously re-examined the Formation of Mengyuan Mountain.
It was indeed as Elder Hu had said.
"Bu Huan, you were close to Yu Yixiang, did you notice anything unusual about her?"
Niu Jinshui asked kindly.
Qian Duoduo shook his head.
"These past few days, I felt she was quite normal; Cultivating and chatting were both enjoyable."
However, Qian Duoduo did not intend to mention the words "Golden Toad, I'm leaving" that Yu Yixiang had left on the door.
The Golden Toad was his secret.
It was also not appropriate to expose the secret message Yu Yixiang had left for him alone.
Anyway, the golden honey had already been eaten by the Spirit Ant Bee, and there was only a faint trace left on the door.
"Yu Yixiang, could she be a spy from another Sect?"
Elder Hu hesitated, voicing his guess.
Qian Duoduo actually had this guess in his heart as well.
But he would never believe that someone who could sacrifice her life to save a Refining Spirit Sect Disciple would be a spy for the Refining Spirit Sect.
"Not likely." Tang Honggong waved his hand.
"Last time in the Helou Family in Chifeng Mountain Range, her injury was real, almost leading to her death. The Cultivation Technique and Magic Treasure she used were also from the Refining Spirit Sect.
I've closely observed her for a while; her actions and behavior were all normal, and she had no contact or interactions with the outside.
If she were a spy, she would definitely try to get close to core areas and core figures, or try to climb up, but she didn't do any of that."
Niu Jinshui closed his eyes, gently pinching his fingers.
As he moved, it was as if a thread connected to his feet, then extended to the Sect.
"From now until five days ago, everything was normal at the Sect." Niu Jinshui opened his eyes.
"The Grand Elder in the back mountain also didn't detect anything unusual."
"This only has two possibilities. One is that a Cultivator with Celestial Human Cultivation or above made a move, and the other is that Yu Yixiang used power of Celestial Human Cultivation or above."
"One is passive, one is active; whether passive or active, it is beyond the current capabilities of the Refining Spirit Sect."
"Since it's beyond the capabilities of our Sect, then we can only pretend not to know about this matter."
At this point, Niu Jinshui's face showed a determined expression.
"Yu Yixiang is carrying out a mission outside under my orders. From now on, no one is allowed to inquire or discuss it. This Immortal Cave shall henceforth be designated as a Forbidden Land."
Seeing that even the Sect Leader, using the strongest power of the Sect, couldn't find anything, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
The Sect Leader's final decision was no different from what Liu Boli had said.
Niu Jinshui stepped forward and patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder.
"There's a world bigger than you imagine; if you don't have the ability, you can only accept it unconditionally."
Qian Duoduo nodded.
The Sect Leader had said that above the Lower Road was the Middle Road, above the Middle Road was the Upper Road, and above the Upper Road were even more powerful forces.
"Can I come here, occasionally?"
Qian Duoduo looked pitifully at the Sect Leader.
Yu Yixiang's Immortal Cave might be an ordinary object to others, but to Qian Duoduo, it could evoke precious memories.
