86: What? The leader is found!

As soon as Li Daoxuan returned to Longyuan, all the women gathered around him.

They had been waiting for Li Daoxuan to return, and even though Luo Qingcheng and the Xiao Family Sisters had not met Su Youruo, they were still concerned about the matter.

Qing Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, is there any news of Senior Sister Su?"

Li Daoxuan did not hide anything and said solemnly, "You Ruo was taken by people from the Ice Palace."

"Ice Palace?"

All the women were stunned. Luo Qingcheng seemed to be deep in thought, while the others looked confused, clearly having never heard of the Ice Palace.

Luo Qingcheng asked uncertainly, "Is it the Ice Palace from the Northern Ice Domain?"

"Senior Sister Luo, you know about the Ice Palace?" Qing Huang couldn't help but grab Luo Qingcheng's hand and ask. All the other women also looked at Luo Qingcheng.

"I've only heard of the Ice Palace, but I know nothing about its specific situation."

"Husband, hurry up and tell us!"

Li Daoxuan said, "The Ice Palace can be said to be in the Northern Ice Domain, yet not in the Northern Ice Domain. The Ice Palace..."

Li Daoxuan briefly and concisely explained the information about the Ice Palace, which left everyone amazed, followed by deep concern.

"Senior Brother, since the Ice Palace is so powerful, then... how can we rescue Senior Sister Su?"

"Don't worry, I already have a rough idea."

"......"

At Heavenly Dao Sect, on Tiandao Peak, Nangong Yin Xue stood silently alone at the summit.

The summons had been issued, and she was waiting for the Elders to convene a meeting. Having been away from the Sect for some time, she felt it necessary to personally oversee Sect affairs.

Inside Qiankun Hall, all the Elders had arrived, but the Sect Master was nowhere to be seen. Everyone looked at each other and began to inquire in low voices.

"Elder Liu, why did the Sect Master summon us?"

"How would I know!"

"Elder Qing, Elder Xuan, do you two know?"

Both quickly shook their heads. Even if we knew, we wouldn't tell you.

Nangong Yin Xue felt the time was right and walked directly into the main hall. However, what puzzled everyone was that a faint mist enveloped the Sect Master's body.

Everyone looked, and could only distinguish that it was their Sect Master, but they could not see her clearly.

Previously, Nangong Yin Xue's appearances were always domineering and majestic. This time, there was a hazy beauty about her, like a woman veiled in mist.

Unbelievable!

Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost, but no one dared to ask, nor did anyone dare to investigate the specific situation within the mist.

Nangong Yin Xue was currently the highest cultivation in the hall. Anyone who dared to investigate would surely be slapped away.

"Have there been any major events in the Sect recently?"

The Elder of the Deacon Hall immediately stood up and said, "Sect Master, our Heavenly Dao Sect recently..."

The Deacon Elder reported all the major events that had occurred recently. Some matters required the Sect Master's decision, and Nangong Yin Xue handled them on the spot.

"Nothing else?"

The Head of the Law Enforcement Hall hesitated for a moment, then still stood up and said, "Sect Master, regarding the matter of Inner Sect Disciple Li Daoxuan, how should it be handled?"

"Should he be directly expelled?"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you! How dare you!"

The three Old Men immediately jumped up, and their simultaneous reaction made everyone smile. A few other Elders' mouths curved into meaningful smiles.

Within the Heavenly Dao Sect, Li Daoxuan was famous. These Elders had all heard of him and often teased Elder Liu, Elder Qing Ming, and Xuan Kong Elder.

Nangong Yin Xue frowned and said, "Expulsion is out of the question."

"However, the management of Disciples must be strengthened. From now on, any Disciple going out must report it, and also..."

"Good!"

All the Elders praised her. The Sect Master's suggestions were all excellent policies beneficial to the Sect's development.

"Then how should Inner Sect Disciple Li Daoxuan be handled?"

"And the pressure from the Helian Family?"

Nangong Yin Xue said disdainfully, "The Helian Family's own man is incompetent and lost his Dao Companion. What does that have to do with our Heavenly Dao Sect?"

"Ignore them."

Nangong Yin Xue was still as domineering as ever. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, she was back! She was back! This was the Sect Master they were familiar with.

As for the issue concerning Li Daoxuan, Nangong Yin Xue did not mention it directly, and the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall also did not dwell on the matter.

"Since there's nothing else, everyone should just go back..."

"Hahaha... Little Xue, what's your hurry? I just arrived, and you're already breaking up the meeting?"

Before the words finished, a terrifying pressure descended upon Qiankun Hall on Tiandao Peak.

Bang~

Crack! Crack!

The sound of the floor cracking came from inside the hall.

Nangong Yin Xue's mouth twitched, and the mist enveloping her almost dissipated.

An Old Man with a youthful face and white hair appeared in the main hall, though his entrance was a bit intimidating.

The Old Man's eyebrows and beard were both fiery red, giving the impression of a fiery temper at first glance.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly bowed to the Old Man and greeted him, "Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle! Greetings, Grand-Junior Martial Uncle! Greetings..."

The Old Man's name was Fire Lingyun. He was the Grand Elder of Heavenly Dao Sect, a Mahayana Cultivator, and the highest-ranking person in Heavenly Dao Sect known to exist.

Logically, he should have been the Grand Elder, but he insisted on swapping positions with Nangong Yin Xue's master.

Thus, Fire Lingyun became the Grand Elder, while Nangong Yin Xue's master became the Grand Elder.

"Grand-Junior Martial Uncle, why have you come?"

"Little Xue, I wanted to... Wait, how did you get... pregnant?"

Whoosh~

Qiankun Hall immediately fell into an eerie silence. All the Elders looked at Nangong Yin Xue in shock.

At this moment, someone broke the silence, "Pregnant... pregnant? Pregnant with what?"

"You're stupid! It must be pregnant with..."

"Then whose is it??"

"Didn't the Sect Master go to the Dark Forest? How did she get pregnant?"

"Are you saying the Sect Master is pregnant with a demon...?"

"Hiss! Shut up!"

Nangong Yin Xue heard all the whispering, and she felt a bit awkward.

Why was this Grand-Junior Martial Uncle's mouth so irritating?

Fire Lingyun also realized he had said the wrong thing and awkwardly stroked his beard, "Cough, cough! Um, am I here at a bad time?"

"Grand-Junior Martial Uncle, please take your seat. May I ask what instructions you have for us?"

Since things had come to this, she could only neither deny nor admit it, nor address the matter directly!

Many Elders also felt a bit uncomfortable. Oh, my children! My grandchildren! It's not that the Old Man didn't watch over you strictly enough, but that you yourselves are useless.

Fire Lingyun's face was flushed red, though it was unclear if it was his natural complexion or something else, and he said with a smile:

"Little Xue, I have no instructions. I am very relieved to leave Heavenly Dao Sect in your hands."

"I just missed everyone and came out of seclusion to see you all."

Fire Lingyun, who had initially been smiling, suddenly became serious and said, "Little Xue, that place has had some unusual activity."

Nangong Yin Xue blinked, stopping Fire Lingyun's impulse to continue speaking.

All the Elders also felt bewildered. What exactly did the Grand Elder mean?

Everyone felt as if a cat was scratching at their hearts, but then Nangong Yin Xue said, "There's nothing else. All Elders may return."
