344: Azure Thunder Emperor Sect

“Alright, alright, I will immediately open the Teleportation Array leading to Qinglei City for you honored guests.” After receiving Gu Chen's renewed confirmation, Elder Duan no longer had any doubts.

He stood up trembling, leading Gu Chen and the nine people including Night Owl to a Teleportation Array near the Main Hall.

Then, he filled the Teleportation Array with Spirit Stones, cast several Magic Arts, and activated the Teleportation Array.

“Honored guests, please step on. This time, the teleportation fee will be covered by the information you provided me.” Elder Duan pointed to the Teleportation Array, signaling Night Owl and his companions to step up.

Qinglei City was not far from Yaoguang City, and the teleportation cost wouldn't require many Spirit Stones, so he couldn't be bothered to collect Spirit Stones from Gu Chen and the others.

What he was most concerned about now was whether the death of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild's Great Emperor Old Ancestor would implicate him.

After all, the person who could kill the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild and the Old Ancestors of two other Great Emperor forces could wipe out all three forces with practically no effort.

His most urgent task now was to quickly figure out a retreat plan; he didn't have the leisure to collect a few meager Spirit Stones.

“Heh, thank you very much then.” Hearing that Elder Duan wouldn't even accept Spirit Stones, Gu Chen and his companions smiled and walked into the Teleportation Array.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild died because of them, and then they told the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild people the news, and even got a free teleportation fee—this was truly taking advantage to the extreme.

Looking at the smiles of Night Owl and Gu Chen and the others, Elder Duan quickly cast several Magic Arts and teleported the ten people away.

He was now terrified, and he didn't want to look at the smiling faces of the ten people including Night Owl for another second.

As the ten people including Night Owl disappeared from the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild Branch Teleportation Hall in Yaoguang City.

The ten figures instantly appeared inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild Branch in Qinglei City.

After the Teleportation Array stabilized.

The ten people quickly walked out of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild Branch in Qinglei City.

Standing outside the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild entrance in Qinglei City, Sand Sable immediately took out a Spirit Boat and tossed it into the air.

After the Spirit Boat enlarged, he politely gestured to the eight people including Night Owl and said, “Fellow Daoists, please board the Spirit Boat. I have already informed Senior Brother Sect Head to prepare a top-tier banquet to properly thank you Fellow Daoists for your great kindness.”

“Mhm, alright.” Night Owl and Gu Chen and his companions nodded, flew onto the Spirit Boat, and took their seats.

Seeing that Night Owl and his companions were seated, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng quickly flew onto the Spirit Boat, then piloted it, taking Night Owl and his companions toward a continuous mountain range.

After half an hour of flight, the ten people arrived above a lush mountain range dense with palaces.

“Qinglei Imperial Sect?”

“Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, does your Sect have a Great Emperor?” Gu Chen murmured, looking at the Sect's name on the plaque below, then asked Sand Sable.

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Gu is right. My Revered Master is a First Level Great Emperor expert. If he hadn't been afflicted by Emperor Poison, the two of us siblings wouldn't have had the chance to meet you Fellow Daoists. This is fate.” Sand Sable replied with a smile.

Hearing Sand Sable's reply, Sha Xiaomeng glared at Sand Sable from the side.

Wasn't Sand Sable essentially saying that it was a good thing their Revered Master was poisoned?

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, let's land now.”

“Mhm, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, let's not talk anymore. We should hurry down and give the detoxification pill to your Revered Master to cure the poison.”

Night Owl and his companions heard the implication, and all smiled as they changed the subject.

“Alright, I'll land right away. Senior Brother Sect Head has already prepared a top-tier banquet to properly thank you Fellow Daoists for your great kindness.” Sand Sable agreed, controlling the Spirit Boat to descend toward the Main Peak plaza of the Qinglei Imperial Sect.

Just as the ten people's Spirit Boat landed.

A Disciple of the Qinglei Sect ran up to Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng with a respectful expression and bowed, saying, “Two Junior Martial Uncles, Revered Master Sect Head has already set up the banquet in the Main Hall. May I please invite the two Junior Martial Uncles and the honored guests to enter the hall?”

“Good, good, Senior Brother Sect Head is efficient.” Hearing that the banquet in the Main Hall was ready, Sand Sable nodded happily. Then, he gestured for Night Owl, Gu Chen, and the others to enter, saying, “Fellow Daoists, please enter the hall. Let our Qinglei Imperial Sect first properly thank you Fellow Daoists for your great kindness.”

Since the banquet was ready, he could only accompany Night Owl and his companions to the feast first; his Revered Master's poison would have to be cured later.

“Mhm.” Night Owl and his companions agreed, stepping forward calmly toward the Main Hall of the Qinglei Imperial Sect.

Seeing Night Owl and his companions walking ahead, The Sha Diao siblings quickly moved to both sides of them, guiding the way like attendants.

The moment the ten people stepped through the Main Hall entrance of the Qinglei Imperial Sect.

The entire Main Hall door was quickly shut, and then an Emperor-level Great Array firmly sealed the entire Main Hall.

“Hmph, today is the day you two, and your Revered Master, die.” Seeing the Main Hall sealed, the Disciple who had just called The Sha Diao siblings Junior Martial Uncles revealed a sinister smile.

Inside the Main Hall of the Qinglei Imperial Sect.

Night Owl and his companions looked bewilderedly at the closed hall door behind them.

Currently, there was no banquet in the Main Hall of the Qinglei Imperial Sect; there was only a Saint Emperor Peak youth, and several Quasi-Emperor Realm, or even Half-step Great Emperor Elders, staring coldly.

“Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, the hospitality you mentioned, it wouldn't be closing the door and having these people stare at us, would it?” Night Owl recovered, turned to survey the situation in the hall, and asked Sand Sable calmly.

Given the current situation, it was obvious that something had gone wrong within Sand Sable's Sect.

After all, the two of them, The Sha Diao siblings, knew their strength and wouldn't possibly do something suicidal.

Facing Night Owl's questioning, Sand Sable waved his hands anxiously and said, “Fellow Daoists, please don't be angry, Fellow Daoists, please don't be angry. There must be some misunderstanding here. Allow me to inquire, and I will certainly give you Fellow Daoists an explanation.”

After Sand Sable finished explaining, he turned around nervously, preparing to ask the people of the Qinglei Sect about the situation.

He knew that Night Owl not only possessed terrifying strength himself but also had a Dao Protector capable of instantly killing a Peak Great Emperor. If the Qinglei Imperial Sect didn't handle this well today, they risked annihilation.

“Senior Brother Sect Head, Junior Martial Uncle, what exactly is going on here?”

“Didn't I tell you I was bringing back honored guests who helped me obtain the emperor pills to cure Revered Master's poison? Your actions are truly disrespectful!” Sand Sable angrily questioned the Saint Emperor Peak youth and the Half-step Great Emperor Elder.

Hearing Sand Sable's question, Sha Xiaomeng also looked furious as she stared at the Qinglei Sect members in the Main Hall.

These people acting like this definitely harbored ill intentions; they must be plotting something malicious.

“Hmph, Junior Brother Sand Sable, if you hadn't found the detoxification pill, then no matter how many people you brought back, I, your Senior Brother, would have received them with the highest courtesy.”

“But since you have now found the detoxification pill, don't blame us for being ruthless.” The Qinglei Sect Master, who looked like a youth, replied with a malicious expression.
