After thinking for a long time, Sect Leader Guan slapped the handle of the chair heavily, as if he had finally made a decision. He stood up and left the room, walking towards a room on the east side of the sect.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Outside a secret building on the east side of the Tranquil Forest Sect, two young disciples were guarding the place, chatting about anything and everything. Just as they were chatting excitedly, one of the disciples saw Sect Leader Guan walking over slowly with a serious expression. He was instantly shocked and hurriedly bowed to him.
Sect Leader Guan nodded slightly and did not speak, staring at the door with slight hesitation.
The two disciples looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. They had been chatting too enthusiastically just now, would they have angered the Sect Leader?
"You two, go in and inform Uncle-Master Ying that I have something important to discuss with him!" Sect Leader Guan's hesitation flashed past, and he did not care about the expressions of the two disciples, waved his hand casually and said.
"Ah? But Uncle-Master Ying is in seclusion... "The two disciples immediately looked awkward, and were thinking about how to refuse when they heard Sect Leader Guan yell impatiently," Nonsense! Of course I know that he is in seclusion, just go ahead and inform him, if there is any problem, I will take responsibility! "
"Yes, yes, yes, we will go now!" The two disciples could not help but shiver, and did not dare to say anything more. One of them hurriedly turned around and ran into the room, while the other waited outside the door with a nervous smile.
Not long after, the disciple who went to inform Sect Leader Guan ran back. He first panted for a while, then said a little awkwardly, "Reporting to Sect Leader, Uncle-Master Ying asked you to tell us the situation directly, and also said that if... if it is not too important, do not disturb his cultivation."
"What the hell, why does it seem like he is not concerned at all?" Sect Leader Guan muttered gloomily, but did not dare to disobey the order of that Uncle-Master Ying, so he could only tell the whole story of his disciple Guan Weicai losing his life in the Qin Family, as well as the cause and effect.
"Alright, please wait for a moment, Sect Leader!" After listening, the disciple nodded and went back to report. But this time, he came back even faster. Standing in front of Sect Leader Guan, he said in a low voice with a flushed face, "Sect Leader, Martial Granduncle Ying, he … he hasn't made any moves. He doesn't seem to be too concerned about this matter. Do you think we should …"
"Forget it, forget it. Let's wait for him to come out of seclusion!" Seeing that his Uncle-Master was not interested at all, Sect Leader Guan had no other choice. He could not be bothered to wait any longer, so he waved his hand and turned to leave.
Anyway, even Martial Uncle didn't care about him, so what was the point of coaxing him? If he had the time, he might as well do something else!
Looking at Sect Leader Guan's back as he left, the two disciples on guard looked at each other. Although they were curious as to how Uncle Guan, who was already at the Golden Core Perfection Stage, could be killed so easily, as low-level disciples, they naturally did not dare to ask too many questions. They could only continue to stand guard at the entrance.
Actually, Sect Leader Guan had misunderstood Uncle Ying, who was in seclusion. It was not that he was indifferent to the disciples of the faction, but he was about to break through to the Original Infant Stage Level 3 and was stuck at an important juncture. Hence, he did not pay much attention to these trivial matters. After all, the most important thing now was to successfully break through and increase his cultivation!
However, what was strange was that although Sect Leader Guan had repeatedly given strict orders to not spread the news, there were still people who spread the news of Guan Weicai's death. And the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became!
In the end, in the entire Liuxian Prefecture, as long as you randomly picked someone on the street, they would be able to narrate the story vividly. There were various versions of the story, and every version could be made into a drama.
The rumor was so rampant that it eventually reached the ears of the Burning Sky Faction, which had a hostile relationship with the Secluded Forest Sect.
After hearing the news, the Burning Sky Faction naturally would not let go of such a great opportunity. They ridiculed the Secluded Forest Sect, and even allowed their disciples to provoke the people of the Secluded Forest Sect in Liuxian Prefecture. They mocked them for being cowards who did not even flinch when their own people were killed.
Even Sect Leader Guan did not escape from the ridicule. The people of the Burning Sky Faction openly spoke disrespectfully in Liuxian Prefecture, and directly accused him of being a Sect Leader who could not protect his disciples. The Secluded Forest Sect would definitely fall and disappear under such people!
After such a commotion, the reputation of the Secluded Forest Sect plummeted. Many disciples were even more dissatisfied and left the faction to find another way out.
Sect Leader Guan was neither blind nor deaf. Naturally, he had heard of the rumors in the outside world. In the beginning, he had only wanted to catch the originator of the rumors. Then, after a long time, these unsubstantiated rumors would naturally die down.
In the end, he did not expect that the spy in the faction would not be caught, and instead, the rumors would spread more and more. Seeing that the number of disciples in the Secluded Forest Sect was decreasing, Sect Leader Guan could not help but fly into a rage. However, he could not do anything to the person who spread the rumors.
He could not possibly catch and kill the person who spread the rumors, right? If that was the case, the people in Liuxian Prefecture would basically be killed!
Helplessly, Sect Leader Guan could only go to the small house where Uncle-Master Ying was in seclusion once again. He told Uncle-Master Ying about the rumors that were spreading everywhere, as well as the merciless ridicule of the Secluded Forest Sect by the Burning Sky Faction. He hoped that this time, Uncle-Master Ying could come out and take charge of the situation.
This time, Uncle-Master Ying was really persuaded by Sect Leader Guan. In addition to the fact that he had successfully broken through to the third level of the Original Infant Stage, he decisively left the place where he was in seclusion. In a rage, he led Sect Leader Guan and a group of disciples, intending to give the Burning Sky Faction a show of strength!
Although a group of people went to the Burning Sky Faction in a mighty manner, Uncle-Master Ying did not really expect to destroy the faction. The Burning Sky Faction and the Secluded Forest Sect were both the top factions in Liuxian Prefecture. Their strengths were not too different. Even if there was a large-scale conflict, neither side would be at a great disadvantage.
Therefore, the purpose of Uncle-Master Ying this time was to put on a show, to tell the whole Liuxian Prefecture that the Secluded Forest Sect had not declined, and was still one of the leading factions. Those disturbing rumors were fabricated by the people of the Burning Sky Faction, and should not be believed easily!
Naturally, the Burning Sky Faction was well aware of this matter. Therefore, when the people from the Secluded Forest Sect came to denounce them, both sides exchanged a few insults and sent out a few disciples to fight. After both sides had a winner and a loser, the matter ended abruptly.
Although the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Uncle-Master Ying was not willing to let his faction suffer such a huge loss for no reason. Therefore, he shouted loudly outside the door of the Burning Sky Faction, saying that he wanted to first go to the Qin Clan of Yan Lin Town to kill the murderer, Xiao Qiang, and then come back to settle the score with the people of the Burning Sky Faction who spread the rumors!
After finishing his words, Uncle-Master Ying left angrily with a group of people.
