Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Venerable, I Want to Go

Everyone knows that although Mieqing Venerable’s name sounds ruthless, she is the type who doesn’t favor any lineage and only considers the interests of the Wunian Saint Sect. Therefore, there’s no fear of being bullied by disciples of other Venerables when following her…

At this moment, Changqing Venerable’s gaze briefly fell on Sikong Ling, who hadn’t stepped forward, and then she shook her head in disappointment.

She was growing increasingly dissatisfied with this disciple she had accepted from the East Plain Northern Land.

Retracting her gaze, Changqing Venerable sternly said, “Let me clarify, although this time you are led by Mieqing Venerable, our Changqing Lineage may still be targeted.”

“Because in Wanbing City, there is a little servant male disciple of our Changqing Lineage who caused the death of Yin Henzi.”

Upon hearing this, almost all Changqing disciples widened their eyes, including Sikong Ling.

This was because her arm was cut off by Yin Henzi, causing Changqing Venerable to lose face.

Changqing Venerable continued, “Initially, I intended to send your Aunt Master Chu to investigate this little servant disciple, but since the Sect Master suddenly gave such an order, your Aunt Master Chu need not go anymore.”

The so-called Aunt Master Chu was precisely the middle-aged woman behind her.

She was originally supposed to be sent to see the situation, to see if Sikong Buwang’s life could be preserved, but now there is no need, as the Sect Master’s intention is to have Mieqing Venerable with three Core Disciples from various lineages go…

Sending such an expert again would naturally violate the Sect Master’s orders and draw criticism.

Moreover, it’s estimated that Sikong Buwang is already dead, and there’s even less need.

Thinking of this, Changqing Venerable emphatically explained, “In other words, you still have to investigate this little servant disciple. If he’s still alive, you must find a way to ensure his safety.”

“It’s very important for the face of our Changqing Lineage.”

“However, the Sect Master has already sent the Fox Sect Master to investigate Yin Henzi’s death, so you may still face the Fox Sect Master.”

“Now answer me, who among you wants to go?”

All of a sudden, the dozens of Changqing disciples below the palace fell silent, and no one stepped forward.

It was clear they were afraid and no longer wanted to go, their previous enthusiasm completely gone.

Only when Changqing Venerable’s expression gradually turned grim did a tall female disciple step forward.

“Venerable, where did this little servant male disciple come from that he is so formidable?”

Each Changqing disciple nodded heavily at these words, only then realizing that this little servant disciple seemed truly astonishing, being able to actually cause the death of the terrifying and perverted Yin Henzi.

Changqing Venerable’s lips curled slightly as she calmly replied, “It’s still unknown where he came from, nor do we know which expert of our Changqing Lineage recruited the little servant, so when you go, ask and find out.”

After a pause, Changqing Venerable suddenly looked at the middle-aged woman, Aunt Master Chu, behind her and asked, “What is his name again?”

Clearly, Changqing Venerable hadn’t remembered the little servant’s name.

Aunt Master Chu quickly replied, “Venerable, his name is Sikong Buwang.”

“Hmm?”

The moment the name was mentioned, Sikong Ling, who had been standing alone at the back for not stepping forward, suddenly raised her head with wide eyes, her beautiful gaze filled with confusion and surprise.

She was confused because she hadn’t heard clearly.

The surprise was hearing the name Sikong, which seemed to unsettle her heart.

Changqing Venerable naturally didn’t notice the change in Sikong Ling’s expression and nodded, repeating, “Yes, his name is Sikong Buwang, who managed to kill Yin Henzi alive; his name is worth remembering.”

“Alright, now answer me… who among you really wants to go?”

At this point, while Changqing Venerable re-asked who was willing to go, Sikong Ling’s body was already trembling slightly.

This time, she heard it clearly, echoing in her mind: “Sikong Buwang, Sikong Buwang…”

Instantly, she thought of her brother, Sikong Jing, but felt it was impossible because her brother couldn’t have arrived in the North Central Plains so quickly and claimed to be a little servant disciple of the Changqing Lineage.

But she didn’t know why the name gave her a strong intuition that it was her brother.

Only her brother would use such a name…

‘Buwang’ meant informing her not to forget, and he had killed Yin Henzi because that old fiend severed one of her arms. But… maybe she was overthinking it.

Suddenly, Sikong Ling’s thoughts were in utter chaos.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Changqing disciples were still silently not stepping forward, causing Changqing Venerable’s expression, already somewhat gloomy, to become even colder, as she suddenly shouted…

“You all, is there no one who dares to go?”

“Are you afraid Yin Shi will seek revenge? Afraid to face the Fox Sect Master?”

As these questions fell, all the disciples bowed their heads…

They indeed feared that Yin Shi would take revenge as Yin Shi was among the top five talents within the same realm in the Wunian Saint Sect.

Moreover, Yin Shi’s cruelty and viciousness terrified people, much like the perverted Yin Henzi.

Currently, none of the young disciples of the Changqing Lineage could match him.

Moreover, they would also have to face the Fox Sect Master upon arrival, who had the guts for that? Safeguarding Sikong Buwang would be good; failing that, they’d end up disliked on both sides.

Of course, the Changqing Lineage didn’t yet know that Yin Shi had also died at the hands of the little servant.

In short, out of dozens, only three needed to be chosen, and no one wanted to stand out, preferring to be punished together.

“Useless, have you all forgotten what courage and fearlessness are?”

Faced with this situation, Changqing Venerable couldn’t help scolding loudly but quickly reined in her icy demeanor, saying, “Fine, since none of you dare to go, I’ll choose personally.”

Suddenly, Changqing Venerable pointed to the woman who had just asked the question, “Wen Luo, you go!”

The woman named Wen Luo trembled slightly and could only nod and reply, “Yes, Venerable.”

Then, Changqing Venerable’s gaze swept over the others, pointing again, “Also you… Wen He!”

At these words, the second female disciple trembled violently, then said in a low voice, “Venerable, it’s not that I don’t want to go, but I am at a critical juncture in breaking through to the Shadow Control Realm, I fear…”

But before she could finish, Changqing Venerable furiously exclaimed, “If you don’t go, you can break through the Shadow Control Realm in the Ten Thousand Cold Abyss.”

Upon hearing this, Wen He and the other female disciples present all shuddered, clearly fearing the terrifying Ten Thousand Cold Abyss.

Eventually, Wen He could only grit her teeth and say, “Venerable, I will go.”

Changqing Venerable’s gaze turned even colder, pointing at the third disciple, whose head was bowed the lowest, “The third, Wen Yu…”

Before she could finish, a clear voice suddenly rang out, “Venerable, I want to go!”

At these words, the disciple who was about to be called, Wen Yu, turned back with surprise and joy, while the surrounding female disciples all looked over and were collectively stunned, full of surprise.

This was because the one who said she wanted to go was unexpectedly the inconspicuous Wang Ge, the weakest among them.
