So, they couldn't openly refuse Immortal Bi Yue, and could only find an excuse.
They are all senior members of the Dragon Chant Sect, how could they not know that if the Sect Hierarch wanted to verify the presence of those alchemy ingredients, he didn't need to check personally and could just inquire with the Elder managing the treasury?
Clearly, the Sect Hierarch had something to discuss with them, and he specifically wanted to keep Immortal Bi Yue behind, fearing that she might side with outsiders.
Although Immortal Bi Yue belonged to the Dragon Chant Sect, her relationship with Cao Zhen was well known by everyone.
Previously, Cao Zhen was not at all worthy of Immortal Bi Yue's attention.
But now, with the Hundred Peaks Sect having become the Hundred Peaks Sect, and with Cao Zhen being the sect leader of a Great Teaching and a reincarnated Great Ability, he could definitely be a match for Immortal Bi Yue.
