After killing the lord of the Snowfall Peak, Jianchen did not stay for long. He turned around and left. He did not touch anything on Zhou Yuan, as he was afraid of leaving behind any traces.
Afterwards.
Jianchen removed his disguise in a secret place and returned to his identity as Radiant Saint Master Chang Yang. He avoided the External Affairs Hall and returned to the Soaring Clouds Peak with an extremely low profile.
The news of the lord of the Snowfall Peak's death reached the Radiant Saint Hall very soon. Soon after Jianchen returned to the Soaring Clouds Peak, three elders left the Radiant Saint Hall aggressively with a few violet-robed guards. They arrived where the lord of the Snowfall Peak had died very soon.
Looking at the corpse that had basically been reduced to a pile of mush, the faces of the three elders from the sacred hall who had mobilized so many people sank. They were extremely ugly.
Zhou Yuan had died on the path back to the Radiant Saint Hall. It was not far from the headquarters of the Radiant Saint Hall, yet someone was bold enough to kill the lord of a peak here. In the eyes of the three elders, this was a blatant slap to the face of the Radiant Saint Hall.
"Investigate. We have to get to the bottom of this. We can't spare Zhou Yuan's murderer."
"How dare he kill the lord of a peak outside our Radiant Saint Hall. This person is looking down on our Radiant Saint Hall …"
"Immediately go back and invite guest elder Mu Tian over. Get him to turn back time. I want to know everything that happened here …"
The three elders were furious. They did not care about Zhou Yuan's life or death. What they cared about was the dignity of the Radiant Saint Hall.
A mighty peak lord had actually been killed mercilessly on the path back to the Radiant Saint Hall. If they did not get to the bottom of this matter and apprehend the murderer, the Radiant Saint Hall's dignity would be damaged.
Very soon, a grey-robed old man arrived under the lead of a few violet-robed guards.
He was Mu Tian. He was not a Radiant Saint Master but a fighter. He had just reached Infinite Prime and was a guest elder of the Radiant Saint Hall. He possessed the same status as the elders.
As soon as Mu Tian arrived, he immediately used a secret technique to turn back time, projecting everything that had happened in the past.
Very soon, the details of how the peak master of the Snowfall Peak had been killed by Jianchen were clearly displayed. However, whether it was the three hall elders or guest elder Mu Tian, they all narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw him obliterate the peak master's soul with a single palm strike.
"This person is very powerful. His battle prowess is probably half a foot into the Primordial realm. Even I find it extremely difficult to reverse time," Mu Tian said emotionlessly.
"From the looks of it, this black clothed man once had a grudge with Zhou Yuan. The death of the peak master of the Snowfall Peak should be considered a vendetta …"
"Hmph, it doesn't matter why Zhou Yuan died. He's still a lord of a peak after all. Our sacred hall will definitely investigate the death of a peak lord …"
"Record this person's face and immediately put him on the wanted list …"
The three Temple Elders spoke one after another, decisively ordering the arrest of the black-clothed man.
Very soon, the wanted list was issued by the Temple Elders. They began to search for Zhou Yuan's murderer across the entire Desolate Plane.
At the same time, the investigation of the black-clothed man began as well.
The Radiant Saint Hall was a peak organisation on the Desolate Plane after all. The more powerful an organisation was, the more they cared about their dignity. The death of a peak master on the path back to the Radiant Saint Hall had basically crossed the bottom line of the Radiant Saint Hall. The Radiant Saint Hall would never just drop the matter.
At the same time, the white-robed Yan Xue sat on the bed with her eyes closed in the sacred hall of the Radiant Saint Hall.
There were less than three days until the competition between the Chosen Saint and the Radiant Saint Hall began. She needed to adjust herself to her peak condition so that she could compete for the position that she yearned for so much.
At this moment, the door opened, and a graceful woman walked in. Even though she was middle-aged, she was still charming. Her skin was extremely white, and she possessed a mature sense of beauty.
"Yan Xue greets master!" Donglin Yan Xue immediately got off the bed and bowed politely when she saw the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was Donglin Yan Xue's master in the Radiant Saint Hall. She was also an elder of the Radiant Saint Hall. Her name was Mu Shui.
Mu Shui nodded. She looked at Donglin Yan Xue gently and said, "Yan Xue, I've come this time to tell you something. Out of the nine retainers you chose before, the lord of the Snowfall Peak, Zhou Yuan, has already died. The nine retainers are missing, and a new one will be decided soon."
"The lord of the Snowfall Peak is dead?"
A strange light immediately flashed through Donglin Yan Xue's eyes when she heard that.
"That's right. He's dead, and he died on the path back to the Radiant Saint Hall. The person who killed him sure is bold enough to kill him outside the Radiant Saint Hall, "said Mu Shui.
"Master, do you know who killed Zhou Yuan? The lord of the Snowfall Peak is one of my retainers after all. Now that he's been killed, I can't just stand by and watch, "Donglin Yan Xue asked.
"We already know the appearance of the murderer. It's in this memory crystal. However, you're too weak right now, so you can't avenge Zhou Yuan. This is because the murderer is very powerful. According to our estimations, probably only an elder of the Radiant Saint Hall can deal with him. "
"Adjust your condition properly in the next two days. I'll deal with the new retainer for you." Mu Shui placed down the memory crystal before turning around to leave.
"Master, why don't you let me make the decision for the remaining spot?" Donglin Yan Xue immediately said.
Mu Shui paused. She glanced back at Donglin Yan Xue and sighed gently, "You still want to fight for a spot for that low level disciple of the Soaring Clouds Peak? It's a pity that he's too weak. "
"Master, I owe Chang Yang a huge favour. Please help a group of disciples this time and let me return the favour. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty and my thoughts won't be clear. It'll probably affect my future cultivation," Donglin Yan Xue begged bitterly.
Mu Shui sighed gently. A sliver of helplessness appeared on her face, "Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll try my best to persuade the other elders for you, but I can't do anything about it in the end.
Master. "
…
Jianchen also sat in his dwelling on the Soaring Clouds Peak. The light in his eyes flickered constantly as he sank into his thoughts.
"Although the lord of the Snowfall Peak's death has opened up a spot among the nine retainers, Donglin Yan Xue has also said that she's not completely confident. As a result, I can't place all my hopes on Donglin Yan Xue."
