Chapter 901 Trouble Comes Knocking 2
Yunxi replied earnestly:
“In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary.” This is not just a saying. We all know how crazy the evil cultivators are right now. This time, another Mahayana True Venerable has been added to the guard of the ancient battlefield. The cultivators who can take on the mission are all at the Integration stage. The True Venerables have already begun to make preparations in advance.

I believe the evil cultivators lurking in the spirit world will also receive the news, and they will definitely launch a fierce counterattack. At this time, the spirit world must not be in chaos; we must stabilize the current situation.

Both sides are well aware that we are waiting—waiting for the missing part of the Buddhist realm to return. That will be the true beginning of the battle.

After hearing Yunxi's words, Haohui couldn't help but sigh:
“Ranxi, you are as perceptive as ever. Ancestor Haoran told me about this before. Everyone is waiting for a suitable opportunity, which is why the standards for entering the ancient battlefield have been raised again and again, just to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.”

Yun Xi nodded and agreed:
"The Mahayana seniors all have their own considerations. Now they only seek to hold the line of defense of the ancient battlefield, so that the old monsters in the Wuwang Ruins will not make a desperate gamble. It is also to prevent the evil insects from flowing into the spirit world. Once those things start to reproduce, they will be a disaster for the cultivators of the spirit world."

Having read the contents of the image jade, Hao Hui naturally knew the dangers of the evil insects, so he nodded in agreement. He was about to ask about cultivation when a sect disciple came to report that the Lei family was requesting an audience with the sect leader.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow, exchanged a glance with Haohui, and the latter calmly instructed his disciple:
"Please have the Lei family members go to the side hall."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The disciple agreed and led the people to the side hall.

Yunxi stood up and said:
"Since the sect leader is receiving guests, I won't keep you any longer. You can continue with your business. If you need anything, you can come to Lingxue Peak to find me."

Hao Hui had no choice but to return to Haoran Peak to meet his guests. Yun Xi, on the other hand, released her divine sense to check on the breakthrough status of her ten disciples. If their spiritual power was insufficient, she would throw more high-grade spirit stones into the spirit-gathering array to help them take advantage of the second opportunity to cleanse their marrow and strengthen their bones to achieve a qualitative leap in their cultivation.

Hao Hui met Lei Jingxiang and his two companions in the side hall, but all three of them looked somewhat tense.

Lei Jingxiang stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Lei Jingxiang greets Sect Master Haohui. This visit is also for a reason, and we apologize for our presumption."

Haohui noticed that although the other party said "please excuse me," their tone was somewhat stiff, and the three of them looked rather uncomfortable, so he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Lei, have you come here again for the strange fire possessed by my True Venerable Zong Ranxi?"

Hao Hui asked bluntly, but Lei Jingxiang frowned and shook his head, saying:

"No, I have come here for the sake of my clan's disciples."

"Disciples of the Lei family? What does that have to do with my Haoran Sect?"

Lei Jingxiang replied with a somewhat cold expression:
"Lei Wanqian, a disciple of the Lei family, went to the Ghost Realm alone to investigate the disappearance of ghost cultivators. She was fortunate enough to meet True Venerable Ranxi in Wugui City. After that, she teamed up with two disciples of your sect as a rogue cultivator and went to Wunian City, where True Venerable disappeared, to investigate. In the end, she lost her trail."

"Just as we were en route to investigate the Ghost Realm, we received news from our clan that Lei Wanqian's soul lamp had gone out. The last images she transmitted before her death included two disciples of your esteemed sect. The Lei family does not wish for their carefully nurtured disciples to die in vain, so they have come to demand an explanation."

Seeing that the other party spoke with neither servility nor arrogance, clearly having sufficient evidence to warrant their visit, Haohui also became serious:

"Fellow Daoist Lei, do you mean that Lei Wanqian's demise is related to the disciples of the Haoran Sect?"

Lei Jingxiang nodded and said:

"Whether it's related or not, we'll find out by asking these two people. My Lei family's disciple cannot die without knowing the truth. If she was killed because she was inferior to your sect's disciple in the competition for opportunities, we have nothing to say."

"But if your sect's disciples harm others without cause, then you must give my Lei family an explanation. Although the Lei family has been declining in recent years, there are still one or two families in the cultivation world that support each other. Besides, can disciples who resort to underhanded tactics really represent your entire Haoran Sect once they grow up?" Hao Hui, sensing the blatant threat, said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Lei is right. May I ask which two disciples from the Haoran Sect you mentioned who used underhanded tactics?"

Seeing that Hao Hui neither denied nor admitted it outright, Lei Jingxiang guessed that he would only admit it after seeing concrete evidence, so he turned his head to look at Lei Wanjun behind him.

With a stern face, Lei Wanjun took out a recording talisman and activated it. A scene appeared in the air, showing the moment when Lei Wanqian fell. A silver sword pierced through Lei Wanqian's dantian, and the next instant, a dark sword slashed out along the silver blade. The silver sword was pulled back, and then the two swords collided, revealing two faces.

The moment the image froze here, the image-recording symbol turned to ashes, having completed its mission.

Hao Hui narrowed his eyes, his handsome face remaining unchanged, and simply looked at Lei Jingxiang and said:
"The two disciples in the image are indeed disciples of the Haoran Sect, and are the personal disciples of the former sect leader. However, they went out for training, and I don't know if they have returned to the sect. I will have them return to the sect as soon as possible."

Seeing that Hao Hui did not deny that the person in the image talisman was a disciple of the Haoran Sect, Lei Jingxiang cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Sect Master Haohui."

Haohui then changed the subject:

“Fellow Daoist Lei, what you showed me is probably not the whole story. Besides, it only shows that Lei Wanqian was stabbed and her dantian was injured, but it doesn’t explain why Sheng Yuhong stabbed her.”

If she attacked first and Sheng Yuhong retaliated, then that would contradict Fellow Daoist Lei's accusations.

Lei Wanlu couldn't hold back any longer and said with a look of grief and indignation:

"Sect Master, you are right. The images that Clan Sister Wan Qian transmitted before her soul lamp went out were indeed more than these. The complete content has been preserved by the family using special methods. Only some important images were transmitted to us. What you saw was only a part of it."

You should know that the recording talisman is different from the recording jade; it cannot replay the recorded content. Therefore, we want to release that content in front of the two of them, leaving them with no room for rebuttal. If the Haoran Sect cannot give us an explanation, our Lei family will…”

Lei Jingxiang felt that was enough and immediately spoke up to reprimand:
"Wan Lu, shut up!"

Then he turned to look at Haohui and said:

"Sect Master Haohui, the younger generation has a good relationship, so they spoke without thinking. Please forgive them."

Haohui waved his hand and said:
“Since the Lei family has evidence, let’s wait until those two disciples return to the sect before making a decision. The Law Enforcement Hall of the Haoran Sect is not just for show. Until the two of them return, the three of you can stay temporarily at the Welcome Peak of the Haoran Sect.”

Lei Jingxiang flatly refused:

"We dare not trouble the Haoran Sect. We will stay in Chuyue City temporarily and wait to confront the two of them face to face."

Hao Hui understood that they were wary of the Haoran Sect. After all, the one who killed Lei Wanqian was the former sect leader's personal disciple. Their status was different, and they naturally received more protection. Before things became clear, they would not stay in the Haoran Sect.

Hao Hui did not stop them, but simply instructed his disciples to send the three of them out of the sect. He then ordered the Enforcement Hall to begin investigating the whereabouts of Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan to see if Lei Wanqian's death was directly related to them.

Meanwhile, Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan, who had parted ways, received a message from their sect, urgently summoning them back.

My darlings, here's a chapter for now, more to come later. I've been having writer's block lately, and with the cold weather, my brain feels less sharp. I just want to hibernate, and the feeling of getting older is becoming more pronounced.
