At that time, Bai Ke couldn't protect himself and had no intention or power to take care of anything else. Moreover, the sound was as distant as an illusion, and even when he recalled it now, it was so blurry that it was particularly unreal.

When Bai Ke finally stopped pretending to be deaf and asked, "Hasn't anyone sent to search? It doesn't look like a dangerous place near Sanqing Pond, and it's impossible for the sect to put a bad situation that may endanger the lives of the sects, right?"

Qin He snorted, "Why haven't you searched? That disciple is under the sect of Elder Hongtai. The elder personally led people to search for him, and there was no bone slag left. So you, a new disciple, is so ignorant that people can't bear to laugh at you. Who said that there is no dangerous place within the territory of a sect? All the good and bad things in the world are all supported by each other, so how can you take good things? Sanqing Pond is a holy land of this sect, and almost all the spiritual energy around you have been absorbed. Over the past thousand years, the surrounding area where the spiritual energy is absorbed is naturally a hundred times more dangerous than that of ordinary places. Can't you understand this principle?"

Bai Ke silently said in his heart: If you really do this, you can figure it out naturally, but the fact is that the Sanqing Pond itself is a place that cheats people, and the surrounding area is still so dangerous, so people really have to wonder whether it is natural or artificial...

"You are not allowed to go to the Sanqingchi area without permission. This is the sect rule. You have been in the sect for some time. It seems that you still can't remember the sect rule. As expected, you are disorganized. Since Junior Brother Lin, you know that he cannot see things in both eyes, just talking about these scriptures, you don't know how to tell him the most basic sect rule?"

Lin Jie was full of heart and said that he could not see anything with his eyes! He still responded: "It was my negligence, but Xiaobai is not the kind of person who can break freely." If it weren't for such a mess, he wouldn't have any interest in Hengtian Gate at all and was afraid that he would be wandering around?

Seeing Qin He opening his mouth again, Lin Jie stepped vigorously and shook his hand: "Senior Brother, I know that you, as the most respected disciple under the head, must be extremely busy. You must not only practice diligently to improve your own cultivation, but also help the head manage us junior brothers and sisters. We must remember what you informed and will never accidentally enter the dangerous land near the Sanqing Pool. Since this way, Xiaobai and I will not waste your time. Go and do your business. After reading this volume, we will practice diligently according to what our senior brother said. We will never show our shame at the trial meeting next month. Senior brother will walk slowly!"

Qin He: "..."

Bai Ke continued to pretend to be blind and followed with a serious look on his face: "Senior brother is leaving? Let's go slowly and don't send him off."

Qin He silently vomited blood, then shook his sleeves and said fiercely: "...goodbye!" After that, he was so angry that he pushed open the door and left by himself.

If it were in the past, Lin Jie would not dare to be so blatant to Qin He. At that time, he would have to be stupid, so as he did when he was a child, he would have no good results if he was not careful. His natural qualifications were worse than those of these senior brothers and juniors. He could only silently reduce his presence at the bottom while focusing on all clues that might be related to his sister's disappearance.

However, now, he no longer has to swallow his anger. After all, his purpose is not to make a name for himself in Hengtian Sect. As long as he can find his sister, he will fulfill his wish. With the help of Jun Xiao and Yu Xian, he believes that this is not a difficult thing. As for his cultivation, following Jun Xiao and the others these days, he has gained more than in the past few years. He can clearly feel that his energy is getting more and more abundant.

In his understanding, he always felt that Jun Xiao and the others had unclear origins. They were probably the ones who had achieved success, no sects and no sects. Even though their cultivation seemed to be no less than the head of Hengtian Sect, they were weak. If they wanted to compete with a famous sect like Hengtian Sect, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. But he didn't care about these things. Whoever was good to him would respect him for the rest of his life and could sacrifice his life.

"Where is the forbidden area around Sanqing Pond?" Bai Ke suddenly asked.

"Damn my ancestor, you are not planning to break through what you are doing, are you?" Lin Jie was shocked by him.

"Of course not, just ask."

"I think about it-" Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief, then touched his chin and rolled his eyes at the roof. "Because it is a forbidden area, I just heard that it is said that there are mountains separated by Sanqing Pool, so the dangerous places around it do not directly connect to Sanqing Pool. If you want to go over to the road from Sanqing Pool, you have to go to another path. I think those paths should also be restricted, and you can't get into it casually. Legend has it that it is a valley - eh? Wait!"

He stopped as he spoke, because when he mentioned the valley, he remembered what he had heard before at the mochi-

"The head of the sect said to the elder, 'Have the things in the valley been raised', right?" Lin Jie patted Bai Ke's shoulder a few times and asked with some uncertainty.

Bai Ke nodded: "I remember too."

"When I heard him say that the valley was in the valley, I thought it was Wanchao Valley. After all, the most famous trial place in our sect is Wanchao Valley. I also wondered that countless disciples would enter the valley every year. If they really raised something shameful in it, they would not be discovered. From this point of view, the valley mentioned by the leader is likely to be a valley near Sanqing Pond?"

"I don't know these, but when it comes to the valley near Sanqing Pond, I remember that before in Sanqing Pond, I once heard a cry for help. I felt that it was far and vague and almost unheard. Now I think that if there was a circle of mountains around me, and the person who was calling for help was in the nearby valley, it might be that kind of sound."

"Isn't it a while ago that you entered the Sanqing Pool? Someone called for help, but maybe a disciple was mistakenly breaking through again? But just now, Senior Brother Qin He said that the last time a disciple disappeared was a few months ago."

Bai Ke said: "Qin He just said that the area around Sanqing Pond is a forbidden area. You also said that it is said that the road from Sanqing Pond cannot be opened, so you have to walk on another road. Those roads have also been restricted and cannot enter easily. So, how did those disciples who accidentally broke into the ban and found the road? If those roads do not have the ban, it would be even more strange. Everyone knows that it is easy to die if they accidentally break into it, but they don't have a ban to prevent their disciples from breaking into it by mistake. What is the mentality of Hengtian Gate?"

Lin Jie was stunned for a moment and followed the words: "...If it were the former, the ban must have been taken by people at the level of the elders. It is almost impossible for ordinary disciples to break it. Even if they find some wrongful methods of the side sects and left-wing methods to break it, it is impossible for such a few crooked people to appear every once in a while. Then, those so-called mistreatment disciples may not have taken the initiative to break it, but are passive... If it was the latter, the entrance passages to enter those places were strange and secret, but they were easy to break it by mistake. The sect has not put a ban on it for so many years to eliminate this situation, which means... it means..."

"It means that Hengtian Sect was intentional - from time to time, people will accidentally break into the restricted area, and it is impossible to break into many people by mistake at once. This not only meets some of their needs, but also ensures that they will not lose too many children of the sect at once, causing panic and riots." Bai Ke continued.

After saying a word, Bai Ke and Lin Jie fell into silence...

If what they guessed was correct, then according to what they heard at the Ximochi that day: the things they raised in the valley were to be used to suppress the "ice soul" in the Sanqing Pond every once in a while. And raising the things in the valley may require not only spiritual elixirs, but people, the disciples who broke into the dangerous forbidden area.

It's terrible to continue thinking about this cognition - for example, Hengtian Sect recruits disciples every once in a while, and for example, Lin Jie's sister who suddenly disappeared after entering the sect...

Perhaps thinking of this also made Lin Jie's eyes suddenly turn red.

No wonder he almost searched all the corners of Hengtian Sect where he could go, but he couldn't find his sister's shadow. If he was really sent to that valley as a victim, then he wouldn't have to see people alive, not to mention living, he wouldn't be able to see the corpse even if he died.

Bai Ke patted his shoulder. Although he could not see Lin Jie's subtle expression changes, he could feel Lin Jie trembling slightly under his palm.

Thinking that Lin Jie had just said to Qin He that it was impossible to find trouble to go to those dangerous places, with his current mood, it was really not certain. However, if he had been living in Hengtian Sect for so many years, Lin Jie would not be so stupid, and would die with impulse. With his current ability, going to go to the forbidden area was just a waste of time to fulfill Hengtian Sect's wishes and add an extra feed to raise evil things.

But understanding is understanding, pain is suffering.

Although he had originally imagined that his sister might have encountered an unexpected situation, over the years, Lin Jie had always held hope because there were no clear clues. But at this time, this hope was almost broken into pieces under reasonable speculation.

Lin Jie turned aside from his usual normal behavior, and since then he fell into silence all day long. Bai Keben was not a talker, and he also felt a little uncomfortable for Lin Jie, so he talked less. Bai Zixu didn't know what books he read in the study, and he became even more weird. He was dazed for a long time. Sometimes he came to his senses and then he would sporadically say a few words that were inconsistent with the following words.

So, two days later, when Yu Xian returned to the secret realm, he saw three people sitting silently at the stone table eating plain rice, one of which was expressionless than the other, as if they were eating not food but sacrifices. Even the peanuts nesting beside him seemed a little listless.

Yu Xian: “…”

Why did I become this ghost after not seeing you for two days?!
