930: 923 930: 923 When the words of Wu Nan, the Great Elder of Yun Tian Sect, had just ended, a black figure arrived extremely quickly at the plaza of Tianshan Sect, causing everyone present, including Wang Zhongtian, to focus their attention on this black figure.
This black figure was a middle-aged man in his late thirties, dressed in a black long robe.
He was a core disciple of Yun Tian Sect, with his strength having reached the initial stage of Sky-Breaking.
His breathing was slightly disordered, indicating he had been hurriedly traveling before arriving at the plaza of Tianshan Sect.
Upon seeing this core disciple of Yun Tian Sect, Wang Zhongtian asked, “Zhao Shan, why have you come here?
Weren’t you supposed to meet and assist my brother, Wang Zhongan, among the first and second tier forces?”
After swallowing, this disciple named Zhao Shan replied, “Sect Leader, about an hour after you-left Yun Tian Sect last night, I returned to Yun Tian Sect.
I rushed here promptly with a very important matter I need to report to you.”
Seeing Zhao Shan’s serious expression, Wang Zhongtian waved his hand and said, “Alright, Zhao Shan, you can speak now.
What is the important matter?”
Zhao Shan’s Adam’s apple moved slowly as he took a breath and said, “Sect Leader, your brother, Wang Zhongan, is dead.
He was murdered, his neck bone crushed.”
Originally, Zhao Shan was supposed to meet Wang Zhongan at the Barrier Door among the first and second tier forces.
However, when Zhao Shan reached there, he did not find Wang Zhongan.
Hence, he searched around in the nearby bushes and indeed found three bodies, one of which was Wang Zhongan’s.
After Ye Chenfeng had killed Wang Zhongan and the others, he had simply asked the members of the Wing Guard Team to dispose of the bodies, so they just dumped them in the bushes not far away.
Upon hearing the news of Wang Zhongan’s death, Wang Zhongtian and Wu Nan’s faces drastically changed.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhiyong, Qiu Yuanlong, and Kang Baiyin were secretly pleased – Yun Tian Sect did not want to get involved, but now that Wang Zhongtian’s own brother had been killed, it seemed Yun Tian Sect would no longer be able to stay out of it.
Wang Zhongtian, whose son had been killed by Ye Chenfeng, now had his brother inexplicably murdered, fueling a raging fury within him.
He yelled, “Were there any clues left at the scene?
Who dares to kill my brother, Wang Zhongtian?”
After recalling for a moment, Zhao Shan said, “Sect Leader, along with your brother, the Sect Leader of Blood Sword Sect and the Sect Leader of Flying Dagger Sect were also killed.
Their manner of death is very similar to that of the disciples of Tianshan Sect here—their heads were also blown apart.”
With this account from Zhao Shan, those present could almost certainly conclude that the person who slaughtered Tianshan Sect was very likely the same one who killed Wang Zhongan.
Wang Zhongtian’s expression grew even darker, and he muttered to himself, “Ye Chenfeng, all this is caused by that beast, Ye Chenfeng.
My father must have been delayed in the Secular World.
Once my father captures that little beast, Ye Chenfeng, I will surely flay and bone him.”
Fang Zhiyong, Qiu Yuanlong, and Kang Baiyin strongly agreed with Wang Zhongtian’s words.
If not for that little beast, Ye Chenfeng, they would not have been targeted by other sects among the top tier forces, which had made them overly conspicuous during this period.
Little did Wang Zhongtian and the others know, it was the very same little beast, Ye Chenfeng, whom they spoke of, who had killed Wang Zhongan and slaughtered the disciples of Tianshan Sect, even killing Wang Muchong.
Ironically, Wang Zhongtian and the others thought it was a top-tier force moving against them, and they were still waiting for Wang Muchong to capture Ye Chenfeng!
“Sect Leader, we must plan carefully about this matter,” Wu Nan, the Great Elder of Yun Tian Sect, told Wang Zhongtian.
Then, Wu Nan turned to Fang Zhiyong and the others and said, “I retract what I said earlier.
Since they don’t even want to spare our Yun Tian Sect, how can we remain silent!”
…
As Wang Zhongtian and Fang Zhiyong prepared to investigate the mastermind, the atmosphere in the council hall of Cloud Soaring Palace, a top-tier force in the Ancient Martial World, was also remarkably somber.
Among the top forces, there are four major sects, which are Cloud Soaring Palace, Earth Demon Hall, Red Flame Valley, and Yun Tian Sect.
Of course, there are many more inconspicuous forces among the top powers that are very strong, even comparable to these four major sects.
However, these four remain at least the apparently strongest sects among the top forces.
Among these, Yun Tian Sect is relatively weaker, while the other three are roughly on par with each other.
The intelligence network of first-rate forces is extremely powerful, so the news of last night’s massacre at Tianshan Sect had already spread among many top-tier forces, including Cloud Soaring Palace.
The Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace is a man in his forties named Li Dongtian.
His strength has reached the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven.
At this moment, Li Dongtian was seated at the head of Cloud Soaring Palace’s council hall.
Below him sat various elders of the sect, and standing beside him was a young man nearly thirty years old who looked somewhat similar to Li Dongtian.
He is Li Dongtian’s son, Li Zihao, whose strength had reached the Peak of Sky-Breaking and was currently attempting to break into the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven.
He was recognized as the top genius among the top forces.
After a moment of silence, Li Dongtian broke the silence in the council hall and said, “Last night, Tianshan Sect was almost completely annihilated.
Only Sect Leader Fang Zhiyong and Great Elder Qiu Yuanlong survived.
Moreover, I heard that Yun Tian Sect’s Sect Master’s brother, Wang Zhongan, was also killed.”
Li Dongtian paused and a cold smile appeared on his face, “Yun Tian Sect really thinks we are fools.
Wang Zhongtian’s father, Wang Muchong, has not died yet; he has entered the Secular World.
Yun Tian Sect has violated the constraints of the top forces.
I wonder if it was Earth Demon Hall or Red Flame Valley who made their move?”
Standing beside Li Dongtian, Li Zihao, with a disdainful smile on his face, said, “Yun Tian Sect even dares to rank itself among the four major sects?
I heard that Yun Tian Sect, Tianshan Sect, and Myriad Poison Sect couldn’t even handle a kid from the Secular World.
They really lost our top forces’ face.”
No one in the council showed dissatisfaction with Li Zihao’s sudden interjection, for his talent was exceptionally monstrous.
They believed that in the future, Li Zihao could lead Cloud Soaring Palace to greater heights.
“Alright, Zihao, just a kid from the Secular World, you needn’t worry about him.
You have a long way ahead of you.
As for Yun Tian Sect’s matter, let’s just wait and see,” said Li Dongtian.
Meanwhile, as Cloud Soaring Palace discussed last night’s events, in the council hall of Earth Demon Hall among the top forces.
The council hall felt sinisterly cold.
Ever since the Valley Master of Moonlight Palace, Xia Zining, killed his son three years ago, Mo Wusha, the Sect Leader of Earth Demon Hall, had become even more ferocious.
At that moment, Mo Wusha held a venomous snake in his hand, letting it bite his left arm while he wore a look of enjoyment.
After a while, he tore the snake in half and spoke in a grim tone, “It’s been too quiet among the top forces for too long.
Seems like there will be a good show this time.
Was it Cloud Soaring Palace or Red Flame Valley who made their move?”
In Red Flame Valley’s council hall, a discussion about last night also took place.
Valley Master Lie Yan, a rugged middle-aged man with a spark of wisdom in his eyes, addressed the gathered elders of Red Flame Valley, “Yun Tian Sect has really gone too far this time.
Do they truly believe they can deceive everyone?
Was it Cloud Soaring Palace or Earth Demon Hall who made a move?
I believe Earth Demon Hall is more likely.”
…
The top forces’ three major sects speculated among each other.
Even Yun Tian Sect, Myriad Poison Sect, and Tianshan Sect believed that it was a first-rate force targeting them.
Little did they know, all this turmoil was caused by Ye Chenfeng.
Perhaps for now, Ye Chenfeng was just a minor character in their eyes, but should they one day witness his true identity, the elites among the top forces would surely be flabbergasted, wouldn’t they?
Because of Ye Chenfeng’s massacre of Tianshan Sect’s disciples last night, the top forces were truly in turmoil.
