Chapter 418 - 412 Framing the Living
Atop the Thousand Illusion Peak of Phantom Divine Sect, one after another, Sect Elders of the Phantom Divine Sect descended from the sky and stepped into the Sect Main Hall with solemn expressions. After greeting Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing, they took their respective seats.
"Greeting the Sect Leader. Sect Leader, do you know why the alarm bell was sounded?"
Elder Thousand Illusion Eagle King, who held a high position in the sect, also rushed into the Sect Main Hall at this moment and asked Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing, causing many already seated Sect Elders to perk up their ears. They also wanted to know what major event had occurred that necessitated the use of the seldom-used sect alarm bell.
With large ears and rather plump earlobes, Fuh Dongxing did not speak but merely swept a glance over Elder Thousand Illusion Eagle King, causing him to smile sheepishly and walk towards his own seat.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Grand Elder Qingyi of the Phantom Divine Sect hurriedly entered the hall.
"Elder Qingyi, have they all returned?" asked Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing, who had been silent until now.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, all the disciples and four elders sent to investigate have returned. They are currently waiting for the Sect Leader’s summons to respond to the Sect Leader’s edict," Qingyi said.
"Let them in," said Fuh Dongxing, his eyelids half-closed, showing neither joy nor sorrow, his face even bearing a trace of compassion. Yet, it was this compassionate demeanor that silenced the seventeen Sect Elders present, making them as quiet as cicadas in winter.
Even a powerful figure like Elder Thousand Illusion Eagle King, who had a fierce reputation in the world, dared not utter another word and sat upright in silence.
