Wei Chen left Peach Blossom Island, and Han Mang and the others exchanged glances.
"This kid, we all underestimated him! Behind him lurks such a powerful figure; who exactly is he?"
"Who knows? He looked quite pale. Could it be that fierce woman really died?"
"That's a possibility. After all, it's rumored that even two against one couldn't defeat Mi. That woman was able to kill Mi in an instant; she must have used some kind of secret technique."
"Soul Palace is not to be trifled with. Fortunately, Wei Chen didn't reveal anything; no one knows how closely he is tied to the person who killed Mi. Otherwise, if Soul Palace seeks revenge, he would be in grave danger."
"Let's trust him. If he dares to return alone, he must have confidence."
When Wei Chen returned to Ling City, a chilling atmosphere filled the air. Spies from various Major Forces were scattered throughout Ling City, investigating the events that transpired at Dingsheng Trading Company last night. However, the key figure, Wei Chen, had not been seen, Elder Di was a stranger, and Ni Junlin had transformed into a Rainbow Cloud in Wei Chen's arms. With Mi dead, there was no way to trace the events.
Dingsheng Trading Company had nearly been wiped out and suffered severe damage, making it difficult for them to recover. Dealing with Ancient Spirit Academy had become extremely challenging as well. Elder Di was gravely injured; being at Earth Soul Realm Level Four, he was no match for Mi, which showcased the power of Soul Palace.
Wei Chen entered the trading house where he first met Elegant. Unsurprisingly, both Elegant and Elder Di were present.
Elegant looked haggard as she dealt with piles of paperwork. Fortunately, there were backups of the data from Dingsheng Trading Company's headquarters at this trading house; otherwise, just managing the accounts would drive Elegant insane.
Grandpa Ding had sustained serious injuries while urgently covering Elegant's escape at a heavy cost. Elder Di also appeared dispirited and pale. He had taken a punch from Mi just to give Ni Junlin the time and opportunity to kill Mi. Wei Chen felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Elder Di for preventing the situation from spiraling out of control.
If Mi had escaped back, Wei Chen wouldn't have worried about his own safety, but finding Weirou would have been nearly impossible. Fortunately, with Mi dead and the remaining members of Soul Palace in disarray for the time being, there was still hope to rescue Weirou!
"Elderly, are you alright?" Wei Chen approached Elegant and asked sincerely.
A wave of guilt surged within him.
It all started with him. After such an incident, countless lives were lost at the headquarters of Dingsheng Trading Company, including those of guest officials. The only survivor was Frenzied Blade. When carefully calculated, all the responsibility fell on him...
Elegant glanced at Wei Chen, a bitter smile on his face as he said, "Do I look like I'm fine? There are countless matters waiting for me to handle; I have a lot on my plate."
Wei Chen did not see any blame in Elegant's eyes, which eased his mind considerably.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Wei Chen looked towards Elder Di, implying that they no longer had the strength to deal with the Mu Family.
Elder Di sighed, "Who would have thought that the Soul Palace Master would personally come to kill you? This time, our Dingsheng Trading Company has suffered heavy losses, but no one will blame you for anything. The Soul Palace Master is at the same level as me—Earth Soul Realm Level Four—but his combat power is much stronger than mine."
After a pause, Elder Di fixed his gaze on Wei Chen and asked with a frown, "Wei Chen, who exactly is that young woman? Her strength seems to be around Earth Soul Realm Level Four as well, yet she was able to kill the Soul Palace Master in an instant. It's truly terrifying!"
Wei Chen did not deny his connection with Ni Junlin; after all, it was he who had urged Ni Junlin to take action and eliminate Mi without hesitation.
He pondered for a moment and replied, "She is my bodyguard. This time she killed Mi with all her might, and now I don't even know what her situation is or where she might be."
"Bodyguard?"
Both Elder Di and Elegant exclaimed in unison. Such a fierce woman was actually Wei Chen's bodyguard?
Grandpa Ding was even more astonished. With such a powerful bodyguard, how terrifying must Wei Chen's identity be!
"Young Master Wei, who exactly are you?"
Elegant asked in shock. Recently, she had been calling Wei Chen by name, but that so-called bodyguard made her deeply suspicious of Wei Chen's identity, and her tone became more respectful.
"There are many things you are better off not knowing. Right now, I can't even find her. I feel she has been seriously injured and will take a long time to recover. Here in Ling City, the only one I can rely on is myself," Wei Chen sighed.
"Relying on yourself? Wei Young Master, it seems you have never truly relied on yourself, have you? No one knows what will happen with Soul Palace. You should return to Peach Blossom Island; only there can you be somewhat safe. You must not get into trouble; otherwise, our Dingsheng Trading Company will have sacrificed for nothing," Elegant said.
"Return to Peach Blossom Island to do what? Tomorrow Mu Qingyan is marrying Ling Ao; the real show is just beginning. Besides, since no one has spread the news and no one has seen me, I won't be in any danger. But Elder Di, you should be cautious; Soul Palace won't let this go easily."
Upon hearing this, Elder Di hesitated for a moment and said, "Wei Chen, how about uniting with the forces of Ling City to deal with Soul Palace? The Master of Soul Palace is Mi, and the Black Moon Sect must be the headquarters of Soul Palace."
"Not for now. You all just focus on recuperating; I won't let Soul Palace off the hook, but not at this moment. Once my plan is complete, not a single person from Soul Palace will escape."
Wei Chen's expression turned fierce. Elder Di, Elegant, and Grandpa Ding could only nod in agreement; currently, Dingsheng Trading Company indeed lacked the qualifications to face any major forces in Ling City alone. As for dealing with the Mu Family plan, it had been shelved.
"Take care of yourselves. I can't stay here too long; it would be bad if a spy from Soul Palace saw me. Farewell."
Wei Chen left the trading company directly and sought a hidden place to quietly contemplate his next steps.
"Soul Palace hasn't yet turned their attention toward me; after all, Ni Junlin has never shown up, and Soul Palace can't trace me. The urgent task now is to rescue Weirou; staying in Soul Palace as a saintess would be disastrous. Moreover, Sister Wei Rou is so beautiful that it's hard to guarantee those high-ranking elders won't have ulterior motives. Being a saintess essentially means sacrificing oneself for others."
"Sister Wei Rou, wait for me! Zhao Yu, you wait for me too!"
Within Black Moon Sect, everything remained unchanged, but the hidden Soul Palace within the mountains was in chaos. Countless reports confirmed that Hall Master Mi was dead. Elder Mo was leading an elite group to set up formations in Ling City and had no time to return; Soul Palace was in disarray without leadership.
Weirou entered the interior of Soul Palace alone. Upon her arrival, many people knelt before her in greeting; after all, her status was quite significant. As Mi's direct disciple and a potential future saintess of Soul Palace, coupled with Elder Mo's high regard for her, she ranked as the third most important figure in this branch of Soul Palace, second only to Mi and Mo.
Now that Mi is dead, Mo's position in Ling City has become paramount.
"Welcome, Saintess!"
"Greetings, Saintess!"
The sounds of worship echoed through the mountain space as Weirou lightly coughed and said, "Please, there's no need for such formalities. It’s too much for me. Elders, can someone explain to me what exactly is going on?"
The elders in the Soul Palace were merely figureheads, holding almost no power. All authority was firmly in the hands of Mi and Mo, which is why they showed some respect towards Weirou.
One elder recounted the events in Ling City to Weirou in detail. Naturally, she couldn't make sense of it all. If those seasoned veterans couldn't decipher the situation, how could Weirou, with her limited experience, figure anything out?
However, when she thought of Dingsheng Trading Company, her mind drifted to Wei Chen. Could this matter somehow be related to Wei Chen?
"Elders, why don't we go to Ling City? If we can find Elder Mo, it would provide us with a solid anchor. Otherwise, we’ll just be running around in circles without knowing what to do. If my master has truly passed away, then the position of Soul Palace Master should rightfully belong to Elder Mo."
Weirou was not foolish; her position was precarious. While Mi was alive, she held some significance, but now that Mi was dead, she could easily find herself in a dire situation. By clearly stating her stance and allowing Mo to become the new Soul Palace Master while she remained as the Saintess without contention was her best option.
If it came to a power struggle, she knew well that no one would stand by her side. Even though according to the rules she should become the Hall Master of this Soul Palace branch, her strength was too weak and her qualifications too shallow to lead such a large division forward.
It was best to lay down her intentions clearly and openly support Mo as the new Soul Palace Master; this would ensure her own safety and stability. Despite Weirou's lack of experience, she understood these basic principles.
Upon hearing this, the elders quietly sighed in relief. With the Saintess's words, the Soul Palace would surely be safe. Their greatest fear was that she would vie for power against Mo; if that happened and she failed to ascend, it would be a loss for the Soul Palace to lose a Candidate Saintess.
"Understood, Saintess. We will prepare immediately to meet with the Grand Elder in Ling City."
In a moment, the elders responded in unison, quickly packing their belongings. A large group exited the Soul Palace space and arrived at the Black Moon Sect, changing into the sect's attire before boarding a carriage that swayed as it made its way toward Ling City.
Just a few hours after their departure, two figures, one old and one young, appeared in the sky above the Black Moon Sect, observing the terrain from a distance.
For a full hour, the old man and the young one circled around the Black Moon Sect, quietly memorizing its location and layout.
The elder spoke softly, "Wei Chen, why make things so complicated? In my opinion, with Mi Si dead, there are no experts left in the Black Moon Sect who can withstand me. If we call Han Che and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign to join us, capturing someone would be an easy task."
The old man and the young one were indeed Wei Chen and Han Mang.
After contemplating for a while, Wei Chen decided to take the initiative. However, his proactive approach did not mean recklessly attacking the Black Moon Sect; instead, he planned to set up a grand formation to encircle the entire sect. The best opportunity to rescue Weirou would be when the Soul Palace experts attempted to break through the formation.
"It's not that simple. The strength of the Soul Palace cannot be underestimated under any circumstances. If we let our guard down and something goes wrong, it will be a lifelong regret."
With Ni Junlin already in trouble, Wei Chen would no longer take risks without certainty. He had learned from past mistakes and gained much wisdom.
"Fine, we'll do it your way."
The two began to set up their formation. However, despite all of Wei Chen's calculations, he had not anticipated that Weirou had already led a team away from the Black Moon Sect. Now within the sect, only a few remnants of the Soul Palace remained; the rest were merely ordinary disciples of the Black Moon Sect.
Encircling the Black Moon Sect was truly not an easy task...
