The Elders all had grim expressions. This matter concerned their future Ascension to the Immortal Realm; it was of paramount importance. They had to find out which bastard was responsible.

The person who made such an oath must be an incredibly talented individual from within the Sect. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would not have implicated the entire Sect.

Currently, most of the Heaven's Prides of the Great Dream Immortal Sect were in seclusion within the Sect; very few ventured outside. Among the Disciples who had left the Sect, it seemed none possessed the audacity to make such a Heavenly Dao Oath. Who would be insane enough to sever their own path to Ascension with such an oath? Are they out of their minds?

"Sect Leader, bad news! Senior Brother has suddenly emerged from seclusion, and he appears to be seriously injured. It seems his breakthrough was unsuccessful."

"Sect Leader, please hurry to the Back Mountain! Third Senior Sister's seclusion site has collapsed, and she seems to be severely injured."

"Seventh Senior Brother has left seclusion ahead of schedule, saying he needs to discuss something with you, Sect Leader."

"Eighth Senior Brother has also ended his seclusion. His cultivation realm has fallen since emerging—he has dropped to the Golden Core Realm!"

...

At the Entrance of the Great Hall, one Disciple after another rushed over, reporting the recent events. The talented Disciples who had been in seclusion were now emerging one by one, either injured from prematurely ending their retreats or suffering a drop in their cultivation realms. The Great Dream Immortal Sect was facing unprecedented devastation!

Meng Fenggu's countenance grew even grimmer as he listened to the Disciples' reports.

"Which Disciples are currently away from the Sect?" Meng Fenggu asked through gritted teeth.

"Senior Sister Xu Qing has returned to the Central Region Xu Family, and Senior Brother Wang Nan has gone to the Eastern Region for training. Only Senior Brother Luo Yuan's whereabouts are unknown," a Disciple replied in haste, evidently bewildered by the situation.

Judging by the complexions of the Elders and the Sect Leader, it was clear something significant had occurred.

A white-bearded Elder stated grimly, "Xu Qing wouldn't do something so foolish. Our relationship with the Xu Family is good, so it's unlikely to be her. Wang Nan is open and upright, and his actions are honorable. He would definitely not make such a vicious oath.

"Considering the circumstances, it seems most likely to be that brat Luo Yuan. He has been missing for ten years, and his last known location was in the Northern Wilderness. I fear such a vicious oath might indeed be his doing."

Hearing this, the faces of all the Elders darkened.

Luo Yuan!

He was the most talented Disciple in Arrays in the entire Great Dream Immortal Sect, potentially a future Array Grandmaster. One could say he was among the Disciples most likely to become a pillar of the Sect in the future. But now, the possibility that this Heavenly Dao Oath was related to him made everyone's expression turn frightful.

What is going on? Has this kid's brain been damaged or something, for him to make such a vicious oath?

"Search! Order all Disciples to go out and find Luo Yuan! The moment you find him, break his legs and bring him back!" Meng Fenggu roared furiously. "If this oath was indeed made by him, I will personally purge the Sect and make his life a living hell!"

It was the first time in many years that the members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect had seen their Sect Leader so enraged. However, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible. After all, Meng Fenggu was on the verge of Ascension, perhaps just one step away. With this sudden catastrophe, it would be strange if he weren't furious. Having one's path to Ascension severed by a Disciple was something no one could easily accept.

"Sect Leader, this matter still requires deliberation!" an aged crone sighed. "Luo Yuan has been missing for ten years. Although his Life Token is still in the Sect, no one knows his whereabouts. It's hard to say if it was truly him. I believe it's best to find Xu Qing and Wang Nan first, ask them clearly, and then make a decision."

"Bring them all back! I will interrogate them myself!" Meng Fenggu declared coldly. "Elder Liu, make a trip to the Haoran Academy in the Celestial Realm. Request their Dean of Celestial Secret Academy to divine Luo Yuan's whereabouts. No matter the cost, we must find him!"

"Yes!"

Elder Liu, clad in white, also struggled to suppress his anger. After all, within the Great Dream Immortal Sect, he was next in line for Ascension after Meng Fenggu. Now someone was trying to sever his path to immortality—wasn't this equivalent to the hatred from one's father being murdered or one's wife stolen? Whether Luo Yuan was responsible or not, Elder Liu simply wanted an outlet for his frustration at this moment. That brat Luo Yuan had always acted as he pleased, and Elder Liu had long disapproved of his ways. This is the perfect opportunity to teach that brat a harsh lesson! I must make him understand that there are always heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people!

"All Disciples are to go out and search! If you cannot find Luo Yuan, none of you need bother returning!" Meng Fenggu's face was contorted with fury as he proclaimed, "Whoever finds Luo Yuan, I, the Sect Leader, promise to grant them any one request—even if it is to become the next Sect Leader of the Great Dream Immortal Sect!"
