"If I'm not mistaken, it might be the same person!"
The Yaochi Saintess spoke, "This person is truly audacious, showing no regard for the Yaochi Holy Land!"
Within the Yaochi Holy Land, the elders' expressions turned cold. If it was indeed the same person, they would not let them off easily.
How could they stand by and do nothing when someone dared to cause trouble in the Yaochi Holy Land?
"Investigate. No one leaves the Yaochi Holy Land until this matter is clarified!"
The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess's expression was indifferent. As a Supreme Elder of the Yaochi Holy Land, she could not allow such a thing to happen.
Seeing this, everyone present began to panic. If the Nine Heavens Elder was right, they wouldn't be able to leave.
"Supreme Elder Nine Heavens, wouldn't this be making things difficult for us!"
An old man spoke, "The蟠桃 were not stolen by us, so why detain us!"
"Yes! Isn't this too unfair!"
Everyone spoke out, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Yaochi Holy Land's actions. After all, this matter had nothing to do with them, yet they were implicated.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry. As long as it wasn't you, the matter will naturally not fall upon your heads!" The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess smiled. "But if it was someone among you, even if they are from another Holy Land, the Yaochi Holy Land will not let it go!"
Everyone present nodded. They naturally dared not neglect the words of the Nine Heavens Profound Goddess. Since she said it, she could certainly do it.
"Saintess, you had dealings with that person. You should be able to recognize him!"
The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess spoke, "If that person is not elsewhere in the Holy Land, then they must have entered the grand gathering. You should take a good look!"
The Yaochi Saintess was slightly stunned. Then she quickly nodded. The Nine Heavens Saintess's words were indeed correct. The person from before was very likely among them.
Seeing the Yaochi Saintess preparing to search everyone one by one, Xu Fei was instantly dumbfounded. If this were to happen, Lu Fan would be discovered very quickly.
"It's fine!"
Lu Fan smiled and shook his head. "He didn't see my true face. As long as I conceal my aura, he won't be able to discover me!"
With Lu Fan's words, Xu Fei felt relieved. Being discovered within the Yaochi Holy Land would be quite dire.
The Yaochi Saintess did not delay. She went straight to the crowd and looked at them one by one. If the person who had caused trouble was among them, she would not let them off easily.
However, after scanning through them, she did not find anyone, and her brow furrowed.
"What, that person isn't among them?"
The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess asked, her tone becoming more serious. This matter concerned the dignity of the Holy Land, and there could be no mistakes.
"No!"
The Yaochi Saintess shook her head. "Could it be that the person is still elsewhere in the Holy Land, or has already left?"
"This matter concerns the dignity of the Yaochi Holy Land!"
The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess said coldly, "Since the culprit cannot be found, I'm afraid everyone will have to be inconvenienced and stay a few more days in the Yaochi Holy Land!"
"But we all have matters to attend to. How can we stay here!"
Everyone spoke out, expressing their reluctance. They knew very well that once they stayed, it would take a considerable amount of time.
"All the蟠桃 of the Yaochi Holy Land have been stolen. This matter is of great importance. If you are unwilling to stay, could it be that someone is guilty!"
The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess spoke, her aura exuding an air of irrefutability.
Everyone was instantly helpless. Since the Supreme Elder of the Yaochi Holy Land had spoken like this, it would be unreasonable for them to refuse.
"Since things have turned out this way, we can only wait for the Yaochi Holy Land to capture that person before we can leave!"
Dao Xuan stood up slightly and looked at everyone. "However, rest assured, once the Yaochi Holy Land captures the culprit, they will naturally not make things difficult for us!"
Many saints nodded. With the Supreme Elder of the Xuanguang Saint present, they felt much more at ease.
Even if the Yaochi Holy Land wanted to act recklessly, these people would not let them succeed.
After a long while, the Yaochi Saintess said to the Nine Heavens Profound Goddess, "Now, to capture that person, we may have to use the divine weapon's sensing ability!"
"Use the divine weapon?"
The Nine Heavens Profound Goddess's brow furrowed slightly. The supreme divine weapon of the Yaochi Holy Land was forged from the蟠桃 Holy Tree and possessed innate power. If it were truly deployed, it could naturally sense the whereabouts of the蟠桃.
Thinking of this, the Nine Heavens Profound Goddess looked at everyone. "Among you, who stole the蟠桃? If you confess honestly, there might still be a way out. Otherwise, when the supreme divine weapon is summoned, even if you want to admit your mistake, it will be too late!" Su Dan Novel Network
After these words, everyone looked at each other, not daring to conceal anything. However, this matter had nothing to do with them. Even if they wanted to come forward, they naturally didn't know how to speak.
"Leader, why don't you confess!"
Xu Fei teased, "So they don't have to go to so much trouble!"
"What, you can't wait for me to be caught?"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes and frowned. The Yaochi Holy Land was going to use its supreme divine weapon, which was beyond his expectations.
To cause such a commotion for a few蟠桃, if he had known, he wouldn't have stolen them. Now, it was too late to say anything.
"Leader, why don't we just throw away the蟠桃!"
Sister Zhao said nervously, "If we're not careful, it'll be trouble. Keeping them is also a disaster!"
"Now that we are within the barrier, how can we take out the蟠桃 in front of everyone!"
Lu Fan shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat helpless. This was beyond his expectations.
Seeing that no one appeared, the Nine Heavens Profound Goddess said no more and directly stepped into the depths to summon the supreme divine weapon.
This matter was no trivial affair. If the person could not be caught, it would be a great humiliation for the Yaochi Holy Land. They were naturally aware of this.
"It seems I can't stay here any longer!"
Lu Fan frowned. "If they really summon the supreme divine weapon, it will be even more difficult for me to leave the Yaochi Holy Land!"
"Then what should we do?"
Xu Fei asked, naturally concerned about this matter.
"Break out by force!"
Lu Fan sighed. This was the only way to remain safe. Otherwise, by the time the supreme divine weapon appeared, it would be too late to leave.
"But the Yaochi Holy Land has many experts. If we force our way out, won't it..."
Xu Fei frowned. Although their strength had been growing over the past three years, it was unlikely to be easy to cause trouble within the Holy Land.
"I'll go out alone!"
Lu Fan said solemnly. "Don't expose yourselves easily!"
After speaking, Lu Fan's figure soared into the sky, a powerful aura emanating from him.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, not knowing what had happened.
At the same time, the Yaochi Saintess looked sharply at Lu Fan. At this moment, Lu Fan's aura had been revealed. She was certain that he was the one who had trapped her in the forest.
