Chapter 1717: Chapter 1717: The Everlasting Lamp Went Out!
In Qingyun Sect, no one would be surprised if a disciple was called out for any reason except for those from Everlasting Hall, because if an incident occurred at the Eldersâ Hall, it meant that among their disciples, someone had met with an accident outside, and it was not just an injury but death.
âBrother Hao, what happened?â
âDid someoneâs Everlasting Lamp in the Everlasting Hall run into trouble? Brother Hao, come on, tell us!â
Seeing Brother Hao with his mouth agape, everyone froze, thinking the one who had screamed was not him. But they clearly heard it was Brother Hao who cried out.
âWhat exactly happened, Brother Hao, come on, talk!â A senior disciple with higher cultivation level stepped forward, demanding harshly.
To declare an accident and not specify what occurred, were they trying to kill them with anxiety?
Even if a discipleâs Everlasting Lamp in the Everlasting Hall had been extinguished, you still have to give a name, donât you? You canât just hold it in and say nothing, right?
âWho is it, who met with an accident?â he asked.
âItâs⊠itâsâŠâ
Brother Hao stuttered, unable to articulate his thoughts.
He felt that if he said the name, the Great Elder would devour him, certainly blaming him for failing to protect the Everlasting Hall.
But what was his fault? The Everlasting Lamp in the Everlasting Hall, the one belonging to Gu Qingyu, was the only one extinguished. What could he have done? He didnât want it either.
âItâs Gu Qingyu, Gu Qingyuâs Everlasting Lamp has been extinguished!â
As he hesitated, another voice came from behind him â a disciple had already rushed into the Everlasting Hall to check the situation.
After one look, he too was greatly startled and hurried out to report the situation to the other disciples.
âWhat?â
The disciples gathered outside the Everlasting Hall were shocked by his words.
Gu Qingyu was the treasure of the Great Elder. When Brother Mo Zheng went out to gain experience, the Great Elder had forcefully sent Gu Qingyu along, wishing for her to broaden her horizons.
But who could have imagined that in just a short time, less than a month or two, her Everlasting Lamp would be extinguished.
âI will immediately notify the Great Elder to come. Before the Great Elder arrives, no one is allowed to enter the Everlasting Hall.â The senior disciple didnât hesitate, quickly giving orders to everyone, and then turned to leave.
âŠ
It wasnât long before the Great Elder, radiating an aura of frost, arrived outside the Everlasting Hall with a darkened face, glaring at Brother Hao, who was guarding it.
That look was as if Gu Qingyuâs Everlasting Lamp had been extinguished by Brother Haoâs own hand, making him unconsciously step back several paces and shrink his neck, not daring to speak.
âAlright, junior brother, letâs go in and see the situation first. The lamp is already extinguished; blaming him now wonât help,â said the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect, who had come along. Seeing the scene, he spoke up to calm the situation.
He had confidence in his most senior disciple and believed that as long as nothing unexpected happened to Gu Qingyu, preserving her life should still be possible.
So, even he thought that it was due to the disciplesâ negligence in guarding the Everlasting Hall that had led to Gu Qingyuâs Everlasting Lamp being extinguished. However, the Everlasting Lamp was not only for monitoring the life and death of the disciples; if it went out without cause, it could harm oneâs cultivation level.
He sighed lightly and cast a reproachful glance at Brother Hao.
âYou useless thing, kneel outside. Once Iâve dealt with the matter inside, Iâll come back to address you!â The Great Elder flicked his sleeves forcefully, threw down a harsh sentence, and then entered the Everlasting Hall with the Sect Leader.
