Watching their silent demeanor, the anger in Shi Yang's heart grew even more intense. He slammed the table a few times, making bang, bang, bang sounds.
"Why are you all not talking now?"
"If this matter isn't handled well, from top to bottom, none of us will have a good ending."
Shi Yang's voice was full of anger, his gaze sweeping over the deacons below.
"Lord Manager, this matter likely cannot be handled by our Main Hall. Why not report it to the Spirit Hall and let the Spirit Hall send people to investigate?"
A deacon stepped forward and said tentatively.
The other deacons, after hearing his words, couldn't help but echo him one after another.
This matter had been investigated by all the deacons present, but unfortunately, there were no clues, and they couldn't find anything useful at all.
Shi Yang, sitting in the main seat, listened to the echoing voices below and couldn't help but think seriously.
If he reported it now, he could already imagine the angry expression of the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop. But if he didn't report it, and something else happened, it wouldn't be something he could bear.
After weighing the pros and cons, just as Shi Yang was about to agree to report the matter to the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop, he saw the room door pushed open, and Qian Renxue, Ye Xi, and the others walked in from outside.
"Who is it!"
"This is the Main Hall's council chamber; how dare you barge in!"
Shi Yang, the manager who was already full of anger, seeing someone barge in without being announced, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and immediately slammed the table angrily.
But just as Shi Yang's voice fell, he saw Ling Yuan and Ghost Leopard take out a token and throw it towards Shi Yang.
The two tokens landed precisely on the table. When Shi Yang saw the two tokens clearly, his angry expression vanished, and he immediately stood up from his seat and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings to the two Elders."
Shi Yang's voice was full of respect, and his originally angry expression turned into a smile.
"Rise."
Qian Renxue waved her hand indifferently and walked straight to Shi Yang's seat to sit down.
While Ye Xi, Tian Yue, Ling Yuan, Ghost Leopard, and the others found random seats in the room to sit down.
Shi Yang and the deacons of the Spirit Hall Main Hall stood respectfully below.
"Thirty miles outside Fengning City, a village was completely massacred, and three deacons of the Spirit Hall fell in the village. Are you aware of this matter?"
Scanning the crowd below with golden eyes, Qian Renxue's voice betrayed no emotion.
Hearing this, Shi Yang, as the manager of the Main Hall, stepped forward, somewhat apprehensively.
"A few days ago, news of villages being massacred in the surrounding area spread. After receiving the news, I immediately sent people to the village to investigate."
"But... but..."
Speaking to the end, Shi Yang couldn't continue, his gaze cautiously observing Qian Renxue's expression.
"But what?"
"Just say whatever you investigated."
"Don't stutter and fail to explain."
Qian Renxue glanced at Shi Yang below, her voice indifferent.
"But we didn't investigate anything."
"Those three fallen deacons, if there are no accidents, should be the deacons of our Main Hall, because three deacons from our Main Hall went missing not long ago."
After finishing, Shi Yang lowered his head.
Qian Renxue did not speak again, but her gaze turned to the intelligence placed on the table. After picking it up, she carefully reviewed it.
The room became quiet at this moment, becoming so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
The four, Ye Xi, Tian Yue, Ling Yuan, and Ghost Leopard, had no intention of speaking, but their gazes swept over Shi Yang and the deacons of the Main Hall.
Facing the gazes of Ye Xi and the others, Shi Yang kept his head lowered, saying nothing, but the sweat faintly appearing on his forehead indicated that his heart was not calm right now.
