Chapter 143 Bad news:
"Zhao Ruyi, the fourth-level alchemy master of our sect, was killed due to an attack by the Yuan Mo Sect on the night of the 17th."
Just one line of words made Yang Hao stunned, speechless and unbelievable.
Master is dead? How can this be?
He is a monk at the peak of the Golden Core, and he also possesses various life-saving magic weapons given by the Supreme Elder. What kind of attack can kill him?
Could it be that the Supreme Elder of Yuan Mo Sect took action personally?
But even so, it won't make Master unable to even ask for help, right?
Upon hearing the bad news, Yang Hao was filled with shock and doubt.
A series of questions kept popping up in his mind, making him more and more puzzled.
"Perhaps, who is joking about this message?"
Yang Hao didn't want to believe it and continued to check the sender of the message.
[Head Qingsongzi]
When he saw these five characters, Yang Hao's heart suddenly sank.
This was actually a message sent by the leader himself.
Obviously, judging from the authority represented by the leader, this bad news is basically untrue.
Yang Hao, who had just accepted his master less than a month ago, died in the Yuan Mo Sect's attack.
Such an experience, even among the many online novels in previous lives, is probably not common.
For a moment, Yang Hao felt a little complicated.
Sad, a little bit, but not intensely.
After all, the master and apprentice have not been together for a short time, so it is basically impossible to say how deep their relationship is.
Yang Hao still felt more regretful in his heart.
It can be expected that after the news of Zhao Ruyi's death spread, Yang Hao's status will definitely be not as good as before, and the resources and conveniences he can obtain will naturally be greatly reduced.
Even because of the alchemy talent he showed before, he still gets a certain amount of attention.
But before he reaches a certain level, he will definitely still be inferior to a living Zhao Ruyi.
Moreover, Zhao Ruyi has learned from the past.
Yang Hao was worried that if he continued to show off his alchemy talent, he would be attacked similarly.
I originally thought that after receiving the attention of the sect, the safety performance would be greatly improved.
However, looking at it now, Qingyang Sect seems to be in trouble.
Even a fourth-level alchemy master like his master could be killed by a sneak attack, let alone his apprentice who was temporarily inferior to him?
Thinking of this, Yang Hao's face became a little ugly.
What should I do in the future?
Use this attack as an excuse to show that your alchemy ability is damaged to escape the attention of Yuan Mo Sect?
Or should we continue like this and bet that Qingyang Sect will learn from this incident and strengthen its defense?
Or maybe after redeeming the secret method of foundation building, find an opportunity to escape from Qingyang Sect?
Yang Hao has been unable to make a decision.
Simply, he stopped thinking about it for the time being and continued to read the messages sent to him by the leader.
The subsequent text also mentioned that only one of his three senior brothers and sisters survived.
This lucky person is the narrow-eyed Second Senior Sister Shen Shu.
In addition, three days later, on May 23, the sect will hold a grand memorial service for Zhao Ruyi.
When the time comes, their two remaining disciples must also attend.
Finally, the leader briefly mentioned the results of the battle on the night of the 17th.
All the enemy monks who came to attack were killed, including five Jindan.
There are only a total of twelve Jindan elders in Yuan Mo Sect, and half of them are equivalent to dead at this time.
It can be seen that although Qingyang Sect suffered heavy losses, Yuan Mo Sect was not much better.
It can only be said that both sides suffer losses.
Seeing this, Yang Hao sighed, and his confidence in Qingyang Sect also increased slightly.
"It seems like Yuan Mo Sect's losses are not small. They shouldn't be able to organize a second assassination in a short time. I should be safe for the time being."
Yang Hao touched his chin and said to himself.
Then, he looked at the next message.
This is a notice about removing the mole.
He browsed briefly and found a familiar name in it.
[Lu Yu]
"This person is actually a mole? No wonder..."
Yang Hao felt relieved.
In this case, it would be better for him to seek revenge from the other party.
The last message is a notice about strengthening vigilance and identity checks.
It was mentioned that in the next month, all disciples must verify their identity when entering and exiting various places.
This should be to check whether any fish have slipped through the net, which is not incomprehensible.
"But, does this mean I can go out?"
Yang Hao felt a little cheered up.
Sitting in the cave these days, unable to earn any contribution, is simply a waste.
After experiencing this incident, he wanted to break through to the foundation building stage as soon as possible.
He has been stuck in the Qi refining stage, and even his skill panel cannot improve his strength much.
He continued to scroll down, but he had reached the end.
"Okay, I'll quickly take on some alchemy tasks and earn enough contribution points as soon as possible."
Upon seeing this, Yang Hao put down his identity jade badge and prepared to go out.
Only this time, when he was walking outside, he was always hiding in the invisibility technique.
Afraid of being attacked again.
Although he knew the probability was very low.
...
Nothing happened along the way, and Yang Hao soon arrived at the alchemy hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he clearly felt that the atmosphere here was different from before.
Both the staff and the alchemists coming and going had very heavy expressions on their faces.
It seems that they all also learned about Zhao Ruyi's death.
"Hello, I want to take over these two tasks."
After a quick look, Yang Hao went directly to the old place and said to the staff inside.
When the staff member saw Yang Hao's face clearly, her expression was startled, and then there was a trace of sympathy in her eyes. Obviously, she recognized Yang Hao's identity.
"Please hurry up."
Seeing this, Yang Hao felt a little uncomfortable and urged him.
Fortunately, the other party may have made up other contents in his mind, so he didn't say much. He went through the corresponding procedures quickly and handed the materials to Yang Hao.
"Thank you."
Yang Hao took the things and hurried out.
When passing by the hall, he passed by an old man with red hair.
Next to this red-haired old man, there was a red-haired girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Grandpa Zu, is the master of the alchemy hall going to be in your hands again now?"
"Don't..."
Yang Hao didn't pay attention, but vaguely heard these words, and then walked out of the door of the alchemy hall. .
Due to the barrier of the formation, he was unable to hear the following content.
But these alone were enough to make him think a lot.
"Who is that old man? Is he the former master of the Alchemy Hall?"
Yang Hao wondered in his mind as he walked.
However, he was not very familiar with the upper levels of the Alchemy Hall.
I didn't guess it after thinking for a while.
"Forget it, it probably has nothing to do with me. With the prestige left by the master, whoever becomes the master of the alchemy hall shouldn't make things difficult for me."
He shook his head, continued to use the invisibility technique, and walked in the direction of Fangshi.
