The other elders present in the hall exchanged worried glances. The loss of a God Ascension Realm elder was no small matter, a significant blow to the sect's authority.
"Grand Elder," one of the elders spoke, his voice hesitant, "should we… should we report this to our master?"
Yu Zheng paused, his gaze shifting towards the elder. The question hung heavy in the air. Reporting to the Profound Mystery God was not a decision to be taken lightly. It would mean acknowledging the severity of the situation, admitting that the sect was facing a threat beyond their immediate control.
He hesitated, his mind battling with the implications. The Profound Mystery God was usually busy. To disturb his cultivation with what might be a minor issue seemed disrespectful.
However, the growing unease within him prevailed. The disappearance of a God Ascension Realm elder, coupled with the mysterious Yun Lintian's open defiance, was too significant to ignore.
