The Spirit Beast Hall.
This was the luxurious mansion where Er Ha and the little fox resided.
Of course, the people of the Purple Cloud Sect now preferred to call it another name.
Forbidden Ground!
No entry for strangers.
Better not to go even if you're dead!
The spirit beasts lay in their respective corners of the hall, nibbling listlessly at the rare treasures before them.
Although they hardly needed to sleep, they were truly lacking in energy at night.
The five-man team stood silently behind Er Ha, daring not to speak.
Actually, they were a bit perplexed.
Their cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage. In the past, they would have been sound asleep by now.
But ever since they started following Brother Ha, they found their energy levels improving day by day!
During the day, they carried coffins all over the sect, rambling about.
At night, they carried coffins all over the sect, rambling about.
In short, they weren't tired at all!
In fact, the more they carried, the more energetic they became!
Finally, they reached a conclusion.
Brother Ha was Senior Brother Ye's pet, and following Brother Ha meant indirectly becoming Senior Brother Ye's subordinate.
Therefore, they could now proudly pat their chests and say, "We're Senior Brother Ye's people!"
Senior Brother Ye was someone who could even provoke heavenly phenomena. It was basic practice for him to bestow some cultivation techniques or opportunities upon them without their knowledge, right?!
Makes perfect sense!
The five men exchanged glances and nodded in unspoken agreement.
By following Senior Brother Ye, they had already saved themselves hundreds of years of effort compared to others!
The pinnacle of life was within reach!
As their smiles bloomed, their white teeth were once again revealed.
In the darkness of the night, they were exceptionally conspicuous.
Er Ha lay dejectedly in front of the coffin, his mind full of question marks.
It didn't understand why it had failed again today.
It was still an elderly two-legged beast.
The previous one had been lively after being treated. Why wasn't this one cooperating today?
"Don't be discouraged, Brother Ha. We'll definitely find a solution in the future," the little fox said, nudging Er Ha's head with its own as a form of comfort.
It didn't understand Brother Ha's great healing methods. All it could do now was comfort Brother Ha.
After all, they were the best of friends.
Er Ha sighed silently.
No success was achieved overnight. Constant failure was inevitable.
It didn't fear failure itself, but it was worried about the lack of experimental subjects.
Just then, an aura stealthily approached the Spirit Beast Hall.
Er Ha and the other spirit beasts looked up and were stunned.
Huh?
Isn't that the two-legged beast that was cured earlier?
"Madam, Yun'er!" The Second Elder landed nearby and whispered, "There's no time to explain, let's quickly leave here!"
After speaking, the Second Elder opened the coffin, lay down inside, and pulled the lid shut.
"Let's go!"
The five-man team was bewildered.
The Second Elder's unusual actions completely baffled them.
Just as they were wondering, Er Ha spoke, "Hurry up and go!"
Without a word, the five men lifted the coffin and left!
Brother Ha's will was Senior Brother Ye's will. How could they dare to disobey Senior Brother Ye's will?
The spirit beasts, who had been half-dead, instantly perked up!
Patrolling the territory with Brother Ha was far more exciting than lying around here!
Er Ha and the little fox leaped onto the top of the coffin, leading the vast army of spirit beasts!
Er Ha's mood instantly brightened!
It could tell that the elderly two-legged beast in the large box was very healthy and didn't need its treatment at all.
But don't forget, this two-legged beast was an ally!
If an ally was in such a hurry, there must be something important!
Something of utmost importance!
Sister Fox had said that these two-legged beasts adhered to one principle.
Human life is paramount!
Er Ha didn't even need to think this time; it instantly concluded.
Urgent matter + paramount matter = other two-legged beasts are in danger!
The two-legged beast in the box was an ally, so anyone it asked for help must also be an ally!
This two-legged beast didn't even have time to explain, which indicated that the other allies were severely injured!
With this thought, Er Ha immediately instructed the five-man team and the little followers.
"Speed up!"
On the sect's main road.
Members of several training teams were walking towards their residences, dragging their wounded and weary bodies.
Their wounds were painful, and their bodies felt like they were falling apart.
But it was precisely because of this that they proved they had spent another fulfilling day.
Cultivation was never an easy matter. Mere pain and fatigue would only lead to better growth!
However, all they wanted now was to quickly take a bath and then collapse onto a comfortable bed for a good night's sleep!
At this moment, they saw a team approaching from the opposite direction.
Leading the way were the five grim reapers!
The five-man team was carrying a coffin, on which sat Brother Ha and Sister Jiu, chest puffed out proudly!
Behind them, the accomplice army, the grim messengers of death!
In that instant, all their fatigue and pain vanished!
A chill shot up from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads!
Their bodies stiffened.
They dared not move an inch...
Fortunately, Er Ha was in a hurry and didn't pay them any mind.
After Er Ha and the army left, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
I swear!
I'll never come back this late again!
I'd rather stay outside and fight demonic beasts until dawn!
Dragging their weak legs, they tremulously walked towards their residences.
Just then, they saw several figures appearing in front of them again.
"Fellow disciples, did you happen to see the Second Elder just now?" The Second Elder's eldest disciple stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"Reporting to Senior Brother, we haven't seen him." The others quickly replied honestly.
Originally, they wanted to say they hadn't seen the Second Elder, but upon seeing the funeral and death-bringing procession, they thought this Senior Brother should be cautious.
But in the end, they didn't say it.
They were all fellow disciples; why frighten others innocently?
Alas, they were too kind!
"Thank you," the eldest disciple said, then quickly led his other fellow disciples to continue their search.
They never imagined that.
Despite all their precautions, their master had still escaped!
This time, although their master no longer had any tendency to attack or self-harm after waking up, their mental state was clearly more abnormal!
If they started causing trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable!
This time, it wasn't just them; even True Person Zi Yun himself, along with the elders and a crowd of disciples, had begun searching.
Two hours later, the search parties met.
Everyone shook their heads regretfully, then looked at each other with anticipation.
Alas, all they saw were others shaking their heads in similar disappointment...
"It seems this time it's a big problem..." True Person Zi Yun looked in the direction of the mountain gate and murmured softly.
They had already searched the entire Purple Cloud Sect meticulously, but they couldn't find any trace of the Second Elder.
Let alone the person, they didn't even sense his aura!
This was very unusual!
Even if the Second Elder had intentionally concealed himself, he would have left some residual aura wherever he went.
But the Second Elder's aura completely disappeared after leaving Sunset Peak.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air!
True Person Zi Yun immediately called an impromptu meeting with the elders.
A plan on how to properly apprehend the Second Elder gradually took shape...
Ten thousand miles north of the Purple Cloud Sect.
At Er Ha's signal, the coffin was slowly lowered by the five-man team.
Earlier, it had been solely focused on saving an ally, but only now did it remember that it didn't know where the ally was.
It was time to ask this two-legged beast!
The coffin lid was opened.
The Second Elder's expression was peaceful, and the sound of snoring could even be heard.
That's right.
The Second Elder had fallen asleep just like that...
Er Ha became a little displeased!
The ally's life was in danger, and you still had the mind to sleep?!
A serious scolding was necessary; it had to be criticized and educated!
Just as Er Ha was about to wake the Second Elder, he suddenly sat up in the coffin!
