Back then, Chu Chen clearly felt that teacher Big Beard had an extremely strong and radical reaction to that trace of murderous aura. Therefore, he also secretly investigated the matter of the traitor of the Medicine Palace, Xiao Ran.
It was said that Xiao Ran was the most talented peerless genius in the entire Medicine Palace back then. Regardless of talent, cultivation, or foundation, he was the strongest. He was even regarded as the only leader of that generation of disciples in the Medicine Palace.
Back then, Xiao Ran had become Feng Ci's disciple. This pair of master and disciple had attracted the attention of the entire Medicine Palace. They had obtained endless glory and respect.
However, later on, something happened. Xiao Ran, who had always been regarded as the undisputed number one disciple of that generation, had a shocking change. He went on a killing spree in the Medicine Palace and massacred hundreds of disciples from the Earth Court and the Heavenly Court. He even killed more than ten respected teachers from the Heavenly Court, causing a shocking massacre.
Later on, the three elders of the Medicine Palace rushed over after hearing the news and attacked him from an endless distance. Only then did he injure him. However, this person was also an ambitious and ruthless person. He immediately flew away with incomparable decisiveness.
When the three elders of the Medicine Palace returned from the distant Small Chiliocosm, Xiao Ran had already escaped without a trace. No one could find him anymore.
That period of history was sealed by the entire Medicine Palace. Everyone knew the details of the experience. Even if Chu Chen carefully investigated, he could only find out the rough description.
He did not know what happened to the traitor named Xiao Ran. He only knew that after this incident, the teacher Big Beard, who was infinitely respected in the Medicine Palace Heavenly Court, was completely dispirited. Not only was he expelled from the Heavenly Court, but he was also disheartened and often drowned his sorrows in alcohol. His behavior was crazy. Therefore, he was secretly called the "Crazy Teacher".
If this Gu Haoran in front of him was really that Xiao Ran from back then … Then, even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for his sins. Such a thought slowly emerged in Chu Chen's mind.
The murderous aura surged and covered the entire world like a tsunami.
However, Gu Haoran's expression remained as calm and indifferent as ever in the face of such frightening killing intent. Sensing that the killing intent in the air was about to reach its peak, Gu Haoran suddenly spoke calmly.
"You need to think this through. Casually killing a disciple of the Ancient Court is a great crime. Even if you've done so much for the Heavenly Court back then, even if you've received unparalleled respect and rewards as a mentor of the Heavenly Court back then, you'll probably completely lose your qualifications as a mentor of the Medicine Palace. You might even be taken to the Judgement Hall, crippled of your cultivation, and expelled from the Medicine Palace forever!"
"I know. Of course I know."
Amidst the boundless and terrifying killing intent, Big Beard's body began to emit a dazzling blue light. "I've thought it through very clearly. Leaving a troublemaker like you alive will lead to a disaster sooner or later. As long as I kill you, my disciple will be truly safe, and the Medicine Palace will be truly stabilized. In order to achieve this goal, even if my cultivation is crippled and I'm expelled from the Medicine Palace, I … have a clear conscience!! "
Amidst the cold voice that contained endless killing intent, Big Beard's right fist slightly clenched. The blue light that suddenly burst between his five fingers pierced through the sky like lightning.
One could even clearly see with the naked eye that as the blue halo continued to condense, spatial cracks that were constantly twisting, breaking, and collapsing began to appear between Big Beard's palms.
At this moment, no matter who it was, they could clearly feel how astonishing the power condensed between Big Beard's palms was. He really wanted to kill Gu Haoran in front of him with one blow!
Just as the blue light between Big Beard's palms was blooming endlessly like a small sun, a cold shout suddenly exploded in the air.
"Stop!!"
A torrent of spiritual power that was a mixture of red, blue, and black light suddenly appeared. Like a sharp divine sword, it cut through Big Beard's terrifying killing intent that permeated the heavens and the earth.
In the next moment, accompanied by ear-piercing whistles, three powerful auras suddenly appeared from the depths of the distant sky. In the short span of a few breaths, they crossed through layers of space and arrived at the top of the three towering Alchemist Towers.
A tyrannical and domineering aura filled the entire world.
Seeing this scene, Big Beard's pupils shrank fiercely, "The Three Elders of the Medicine Palace!"
Big Beard's mind was as clear as day!
No wonder, no wonder this guy dared to come over and provoke me. When he deliberately stopped me, he asked the other two to report to the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace. His purpose was to create this situation.
He wanted the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace to see me secretly attacking Gu Haoran, so that the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace would mistakenly think that my previous words about him being Xiao Ran were purely for personal gain. Thus, I can completely get rid of the suspicion that I am Xiao Ran!!
"This guy … What a deep scheme!!"
Just as Big Beard was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace, Chu Chen's heart was fiercely shocked. His gaze towards Gu Haoran once again became sharper.
Now that things had escalated to this point, he finally understood the meaning behind Gu Haoran's seemingly "reckless" provocation today.
He had calculated that Big Beard's personality was incomparably fierce and fiery, like gunpowder that would explode at the slightest touch. Therefore, he had calculated that Big Beard would definitely attack him.
Then, he had coincidentally allowed the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace to "discover" Big Beard's little trick, thus creating a favorable situation for himself!
In this way, not only would he be able to clear himself of suspicion of Xiao Ran's identity, he would also "expose" Big Beard's protective and obstinate character in front of the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace. This would cause the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace to completely lose trust in Big Beard.
This kind of scheming, this kind of seemingly untraceable arrangement, this guy … is really a very frightening opponent ah …
"It seems that Gu Haoran was right."
Just as the Master and disciple were shocked by the sudden appearance of the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace, they saw a touch of coldness appear on Elder Bing's jade-white face. "You really did deliberately frame him, saying that he is that traitor Xiao Ran. Your purpose is to get rid of a strong opponent like him, so that your disciple has the opportunity to compete for the ancient sect's Holy Land spot!"
At this time, the facts in front of the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace were already very clear: Big Beard was full of murderous intent towards Gu Haoran, and his disciple was just watching from the side.
Looking at the vast and endless spiritual fluctuations condensed in Big Beard's palm, if the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace had come one step later, Big Beard's earth-shattering attack would have burst out directly!
