The fear of cultivating immortals comes from insufficient firepower

Seeing this, the fourth elder hurriedly stepped forward.

"Hurry and inform the sect leader that this elder has something important to report."

Hearing this, several foundation-building monks looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward.

"Elder, I'm afraid this won't work. Just a few days ago, the sect leader announced the retreat."

"And we are told not to allow anyone to disturb us."

Upon hearing that the sect leader had gone into seclusion, Li Xiaofan and the Fourth Elder frowned.

Li Xiaofan took a step forward and said, "That's not right! Several elders and so many disciples from the sect followed the master of Lingfu Peak to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains. Even the fourth elder and the master of Baizhang Peak went there."

"We have just come back. Why would the sect master choose to retreat when his manpower is weak?"

Hearing what Li Xiaofan said, the fourth elder was a little confused.

The gatekeeper disciple just shook his head.

"We don't know this. We are just following orders."

Hearing this, Li Xiaofan's feeling that something was wrong appeared again.

After thinking about it, he sent a message to the fourth elder.

"Elder, your spiritual consciousness is relatively strong, can you spread it out to sense the movement in Zixia Palace?"

After receiving the message, the fourth elder nodded, and then radiated his spiritual consciousness.

But soon, there was a flash of light outside Zixia Palace, and a barrier appeared instantly and then disappeared.

The next moment, Li Xiaofan heard the message from the fourth elder.

"Xiaofan, Zixia Palace has activated the formation restriction, and my consciousness cannot enter."

After the transmission was completed, the fourth elder wanted to step forward to ask, but was stopped by Li Xiaofan.

"Elder, I feel like the sect is acting weird today. Let's leave first. Let's go find Elder Sun first."

The fourth elder heard the message and did not refute it.

Afterwards, Li Xiaofan released the flying talisman and flew towards Baihua Peak with the four elders.

Seeing Li Xiaofan walking towards Baihua Peak, the fourth elder asked with some doubts.

"Xiaofan, aren't you going back to Lingfu Peak?"

Li Xiaofan shook his head: "Don't go back now. I'm going to be your guest at Baihua Peak. I shouldn't disturb you, right?"

Fourth Elder: "Of course not, but you don't want to harm my female disciples on the mountain."

Li Xiaofan was stunned and nodded awkwardly.

Not long after, the two of them landed on Baihua Peak.

This is the first time Li Xiaofan has climbed this mountain peak. He has passed by it countless times before but never came up to see it.

Before, Baihua Peak lived up to its name, with seas of flowers everywhere, which looked very beautiful.

At this moment, a group of female cultivators happily ran towards the two of them and saluted the fourth elder.

There were also several female cultivators who had studied makeup with Li Xiaofan and also greeted Li Xiaofan.

However, Li Xiaofan was not in the mood to chat with the female cultivator now, and immediately looked at the fourth elder.

"Elder, please quickly send a disciple to invite Elder Sun!"

The fourth elder didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately sent a female disciple to set off.

Then, the Fourth Elder and a group of women led Li Xiaofan towards the Baihua Palace.

However, when Li Xiaofan and others entered the Hall of Hundred Flowers, a female cultivator with low cultivation level appeared.

But after taking a look, he immediately left Baihua Peak.

Here, a group of people came to the Baihua Palace, and a female disciple even served tea to Li Xiaofan.

Li Xiaofan was not in the mood to drink tea, but looked at a female disciple who had learned makeup and said: "Senior sister, during the time when your peak master and many elder disciples left, did anything special happen to the sect? "

When the female disciple heard this, she scratched her head and started to think about it.

"What happened...it seems to be nothing?"

But soon, the female disciple’s eyes lit up.

"Oh! By the way, there is something really strange. Junior Brother Li, do you know?"

"Just a few days after the Peak Master and the others left, several Peak Masters and elders from the sect announced that they would go into seclusion."

Li Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the fourth elder.

He thought to himself: "What a coincidence. It was the sect leader who was in retreat before, and now it's the other peak masters who are in retreat. Something is indeed wrong!"

So, Li Xiaofan continued to ask: "Senior sister, please tell me, which peak masters and elders have announced that they have retreated?"

The female disciple thought while clasping her fingers and said: "There is the master of the Alchemy Peak, the master of the forging peak, and by the way, there is also the law enforcement elder."

It was heard that these two peak masters, plus the law enforcement elders, all announced to retreat.

At this moment, not to mention Li Xiaofan, even the fourth elder knew that something might really be wrong with the sect.

You know, when Li Xiaofan and the Fourth Elder came back this time, it was Li Xiaofan himself who proposed to leave early.

If Li Xiaofan and the fourth elders leave with the large army, that is to say.

There are only three or two elders in charge of Zixia Sect now.

If an enemy suddenly attacks Zixia Sect, wouldn't it be able to catch Zixia Sect by surprise?

Thinking of this, the fourth elder also spoke.

"Then tell me, which elder is in charge of the daily affairs of the sect now?"

Female disciple: "Reporting to the Peak Master, it should be the new Peak Master of Baijian Peak, Senior Duanmu Ren."

Hearing that it was this person, the fourth elder looked relieved.

Li Xiaofan saw this and asked in confusion: "Elder, do you know this senior Duanmu very well?"

"You don't seem so worried anymore?"

The fourth elder nodded after hearing this: "Actually, I am not very familiar with Elder Duanmu Ren."

"But I know that he is the sect leader's cousin."

"I heard that the sect master was the son of a wealthy businessman in the secular world. He was accidentally discovered by the previous old sect master who was cultivating spiritual roots."

"Then I will accept him as a disciple and plan to take him to Zixia Sect and train him well."

"The sect master and Elder Duanmu Ren have been playing together since childhood, so I asked the old sect master to test it for his cousin to see if they can join the Immortal Sect together."

"After the old sect leader finished the test, he found out that both brothers had spiritual cultivation roots, so they brought them to Zixia Sect together."

"Now hundreds of years have passed, the sect leader's family has been passed down for several generations, and it is considered gone. Only the two brothers are left."

"So I think this elder Duanmu Ren should be a trustworthy person."

Li Xiaofan was not surprised when he heard this. When he heard the name of the new peak master of Hundred Swords Peak, Li Xiaofan guessed that the two should be related.

However, Li Xiaofan still had some questions, so he continued to speak.

"Elder, that shouldn't be the case! If the sect master's cousin is practicing with him, then he should be very famous in Zixia Sect."

"But why haven't I heard of him before he became the new peak master of Hundred Swords Peak?"

"I haven't even seen him attend the previous Elders' Conference?"

After Li Xiaofan asked, the fourth elder also showed a troubled look.

"This...I'm not very clear about this either."

"Xiao Fan, to tell you the truth, I am not yet one hundred and forty years old this year, and I have only been the master of Baihua Peak for more than thirty years."

"So there are many things about the sect that I don't know very well."

After hearing this, Li Xiaofan looked very surprised.

Seeing how powerful the fourth elder was in combat, Xiaofan thought he was at least a centuries-old monster.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the fourth elder was only over a hundred years old.

No wonder the fourth elder was not completely sure whether the monster was a real demon baby when he was in the deserted village of mummies.

It seems that the Fourth Elder has too little experience compared to Old Man Hu and others.

At this time, the disciple who went to invite Elder Sun finally came back.

However, after the other party entered the hall, his face was obviously embarrassed.

"Reporting to the Peak Master, the disciples have been searching for a long time, but they still can't find Elder Sun's people."

"Asking other disciples, they also said they haven't seen Elder Sun for many days."
