"What did you say? Wang Wen was killed outside? "
In the main hall of the Luofu Sect, a burly middle-aged man stood up in shock!
This person was the sect leader of the Luofu Sect, Luo Wuji! His cultivation was unfathomable, and his physique was extremely powerful.
Even though he was wearing an oversized robe, one could still see the contours of his muscles. His entire body was brimming with vitality. Every single movement of his seemed capable of easily destroying a city!
At this moment, his eyes were like a fierce tiger's. His sharp gaze was like a giant hammer that could shatter the heavens and earth, pressing down with great pressure.
As far as he could see, a man in his late twenties was kneeling on the ground. Sensing Luo Wuji's gaze, he quickly prostrated himself on the ground, and even his breathing was extremely careful.
"Speak! What's going on! "
Luo Wuji quickly suppressed his anger and sat back down. His voice was as loud as thunder, causing pain in one's eardrums.
The man tried his best to regulate his breathing and calm his emotions. However, in the end, he tragically realized that it was useless.
Sensing more scrutinizing gazes from all directions, he finally mustered up his courage and said loudly, "Last night, Elder Wang was outside … gambling. He even told us not to follow him in, saying that we would ruin his luck. Thus, we stood guard outside, but suddenly, there were sounds of a commotion inside. When we rushed in, we discovered … discovered that Elder Wang had already been killed. "
Bang!
As soon as the man finished speaking, a loud sound came from the front. The table beside Luo Wuji was instantly pulverized, and a giant hole was smashed into the ground.
"Bastard!"
Luo Wuji's expression was cold, but his voice was filled with monstrous anger.
In the main hall, all the seated elders and the man on the ground seemed to see a ball of blazing anger erupting from Luo Wuji's body, as if it was going to burn the entire world into ashes.
"Where's the murderer? As Wang Wen's guards, can't you catch the murderer now that Wang Wen is dead? "
Luo Wuji quickly calmed his emotions and looked at the man again as he asked indifferently.
The man immediately felt a chill from his head to the soles of his feet. He did not dare to wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead. Then, in a barely audible voice, he said, "We wanted to catch him, but the murderer was too fast. We … lost him."
I lost him!
These three words were like a resounding slap to Luo Wuji's face.
An elder of a great Luofu sect was killed in front of everyone in his own territory.
How could the murderer escape after killing someone?
If this matter were to spread out, the people of the Abyss Sacred Valley and the Mirage Flower Palace would probably laugh to death.
Luo Wuji's emotions, which had just calmed down, could not help but surge again. The veins on his forehead bulged as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Elder Tang, you're in charge of the sect's laws and regulations. What crime should he be convicted of? "
Luo Wuji's extremely cold gaze swept over a man who looked to be in his fifties. There was a faint hint of killing intent in his voice.
Elder Tang stepped forward and replied emotionlessly like a machine, "Sect Leader, this person and Elder Wang's other guards neglected their duties and caused the death of the sect's elder. In the end, the murderer even escaped. According to the sect's rules, they should be punished by the insect bite! "
Hearing this sentence, the man instantly fell to the ground. His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless.
The insect bite punishment was the cruelest punishment of the Luofu sect!
Those who were sentenced to the insect bite punishment would first have their hands and feet crippled so that they could not struggle and then be thrown into a pit of insects.
Inside the pit of insects, there were countless poisonous insects that loved to eat human flesh and blood. Moreover, their eating speed was extremely slow. Those who were punished would be in a long period of pain and despair. Their flesh and blood would be eaten by the poisonous insects and they would turn into white bones.
"Sect Leader! Sect Leader, spare me! "
After a moment, the man finally came to his senses. He knelt on the ground and madly kowtowed.
"Since it's the sect's rules, no one has anything to say."
Luo Wuji waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
"Sect Leader, spare me!"
Mournful screams resounded throughout the main hall.
The man was quickly taken away, but the heaviness in the hall could not be dispelled no matter what.
A moment later, a scholarly man in his thirties stood up and cupped his hands at Luo Wuji. "Sect Leader, please calm down. Don't let your anger get to your head. "
Luo Wuji snorted coldly. "I'm very calm."
The scholarly man smiled faintly. "Sect Leader, there's no need to be like this. Wang Wen was just someone who relied on his father's influence to survive in our sect. His death today is a good thing. "
The scholarly man was the third elder of the Luofu sect. His name was Xin Chaohui. This person's cultivation was profound and he was resourceful. He was known as the brains of the sect.
He was the youngest among the elders of the Luofu sect. Because Luo Wuji thought highly of him, Luo Wuji made an exception and promoted him.
In just a few years, he had risen from a fledgling to the third elder of the sect. His status was high and his fame was limitless.
Luo Wuji's expression softened slightly after hearing Xin Chaohui's words, but the anger in his eyes did not diminish. "No matter how useless Wang Wen was, he was still an elder of the Luofu sect. His death today is a slap to my face. If I swallow this, the Luofu sect will become a laughing stock in the future. "
Xin Chaohui did not comment, but his tone was still calm. "If Sect Leader wants to take revenge, isn't it simple?"
"Simple?"
Luo Wuji raised his eyebrows. "I don't agree with Elder Xin's words. The murderer escaped and we don't even know his identity. How will we take revenge? "
Xin Chaohui smiled faintly. "Sect Leader, have you forgotten what Wang Wen promised you yesterday?"
Luo Wuji pondered for a moment before he said, "He promised me that he would … You're saying that the brat surnamed Qin is the murderer? This was impossible! Yesterday, the scouts reported that the kid was only at the second stage of the Dao Embryo Realm. Wang Wen was at least at the fourth stage. How could he be killed by such a kid? "
Xin Chaohui said, "Sect Leader, no one knows the truth. However, it is true that the kid is weird. Moreover, the disciples sent to capture him were all killed. Disciple Kong Tianyou is also nowhere to be seen. This kid isn't simple! Moreover, with our Luofu sect's status, we can say who the murderer is. This way, we can save our face. It's even more justifiable to deal with that brat. "
The three sects all coveted the items that Uncle Zhao gave to Qin Yi. However, because they were wary of one another, they couldn't do anything.
