While asking questions, Sect Master stood up from his seat and walked in front of the stage, looking at young Master Li bound on stage solemnly.
'No, father, it wasn't me; it was him, I am telling you; it must be this Sheng bastard; now he is disguised as me; save me; I don't want to die.'
Disciple Sheng (Young Master Li) roared, but something else came out of his mouth in reply: "Heh, it seems I am busted; it doesn't matter now; you said you wanted to know about the dark sand; let me show you; it won't be just me who will die here."
He mumbled like a madman, and instantly dark nanobot particles appeared around Disciple Sheng (Young Master Li); instantly, a dark wave spread through the whole main trial area, covering all those elders, disciples,
"How audacious," Sect Master's roar rang through the surroundings; everything around changed.
A round world boundary spread like a wave, covering the whole trial ground and ejecting all dark nanobot particles outside, leaving the disciples and elder unharmed inside.
'It wasn't me; it wasn't me. Don't kill me,' Young Master Li roared in his heart in despair, looking at his father's cold and ruthless expression.
He wanted to struggle but couldn't move an inch because of pressure, as if he were confined in the middle of a huge world.
The Great Elder instantly appeared beside the young master Li and pointed at his forehead. Instantly, instantly red crack spread through his body, and he burst into dark ashes.
Sect master glanced at the ashes of his son without knowing anything, then his brow furrowed, sensing the dark nanobots outside his world boundary were dissipating after the culprit's death.
Lin Lee glanced at the young master Li's ashes on the stage and then glanced at the invisible round shield-like boundary covering everything.
'So this is the spirit world, the specialty of immortal spirit experts; I can feel it; everything in this spirit world is under sect master control; he just released a prototype of his world; if he wants, he can instantly transform this place into a world; also, even if I superimpose all my law domains, I won't be able to break out of this spirit world.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then glanced at the sect master and great elder,
'I have to lay low for a while before I can comprehend my spirit world; I can't change my identity, or young master Li life jade will split into two; also, to quickly increase my strength, I can try devouring one of them; both sect master and great elder are probably the early spirit immortals in the sect,' Lin Lee thought and decided something.
Instantly, the spirit world boundary receded, and the sect master glanced at everyone below.
Lin Lee also glanced at the stage, seeing what he was going to say next.
"I decided to initiate sect seclusion, recall all the disciples and elders; no one is allowed to leave the sect grounds; activate all protection formations; we can't take the threat regarding the hell devil lightly; also, all elders meet me at the sect main building." The sect master said, looking at all the elders and great elders, then he flew away.
'It seems not everything goes as you plan; I shouldn't have let him say the hell devil's name; anyway, to avoid the karma mirror, such distraction was important; let's see what happens next.' Lin Lee thought to himself intriguingly,
"You all return to the law enforcement peak; I will return soon," Elder Li suddenly said, looking at the law enforcement disciples around.
"Yes, sect master, the great elder is right; we shouldn't send any letter directly; if there isn't a new cave or hell gate, then it will affect our sect credibility; the ancient sect may even hold us responsible for spreading rumors and even those empires and sect massacres."
"Yes, sect master; also, I think this disguised hell demon wasn't strong; we can deal with it ourselves; if the situation is really out of hand, then we can ask for help from the ancient sect."
The elders gave their opinions one by one in favor of the great elders' opinion.
Sect master's brow furrowed seeing the majority of elders aren't agreeing with him. He glanced at the great elder's calm expression.
A flicker flashed through his pupil. 'I should put some leash on the fangs.'
He thought to himself and then coughed and said, "Ahem, well, if all of you want that, then I am assigning eight elders to complete this task; you will act in a group of two and search all directions of our sect domain; you have a three-day time limit."
The sect master then glanced at the elder who spoke in favor of the great elder and chose them one by one.
"Yes, sect master, we won't disappoint you." The eight elders stood up, saluted, and walked away.
The sect master then glanced at the great elder deeply and then glanced at the remaining elders and said,
"The meeting is over; let's wait for the search reports three days later." After speaking, he left the meeting hall and returned to his courtyard.
"Are you here?" The sect master spoke; his footsteps halted near his courtyard.
"Please order, sect master," instantly four old people appeared behind him like ghosts, and all of them bowed and saluted.
"Kill those eight elders; if they find nothing in three days, leave evidence aiming at hell devils." After ordering, the sect master walked inside the courtyard with an emotionless expression.
'Even if it's a bluff, I will use this as the opportunity to teach the Fangs a lesson." Sect master thought, while his back completely receded inside the courtyard,
The four old men behind him bowed and then flickered and disappeared into smoke.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Young Master Li courtyard, on the top of the law enforcement peak,
A wide smile appeared on Lin Lee's face, looking at a lot of surveillance projections floating around him, with twelve projections showing the image of eight elders and four old guardians.
"Heh, it's more fun than I expected—12 true immortals, four semi-immortal spirit experts like me, and eight top true immortals—I hope they are enough for my breakthrough to the next realm," Lin Lee muttered, an excited gleam flashing through his pupils.
