Personally Made a Move
A figure slowly walked out of the palace. Although his steps were slow, every step he took caused a powerful pressure to spread through the air, causing all the Yin Yang experts to sweat profusely.
This figure was a middle-aged man around fifty years old. He was dressed in black and his body was thin. His facial features were chiseled and he gave off an eerie feeling.
At this moment, he coldly scanned the crowd below. His eyes narrowed and a sharp golden light flashed through, carrying a trace of an ancient aura.
"I've only been in seclusion for a few days and such a big thing has happened in Qingling City. Jiang Feng's death is one thing, but Jiang Buxiao's death will directly affect my reputation. Don't you know this?" The middle-aged man shouted again. His entire body was filled with anger, making the Yin Yang experts not dare to look directly at him.
"Reporting to Grand Elder, when Elder Jiang went to take revenge, we didn't know much about this. Not to mention, the other person's cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Yin Yang Realm, far weaker than Elder Jiang. We subconsciously didn't take this matter to heart."
"By the time we sensed that something was wrong, Elder Jiang had already died on the spot. Even his corpse had been reduced to dust. According to others, that person had only used a single move to burn Elder Jiang to death. No one had expected this."
"Originally, we wanted to investigate, but that person lived in Qingchen Pavilion. After careful consideration, we didn't dare to act rashly, lest we disturb Grand Elder's plan."
The crowd bowed, their mouths trembling as they spoke.
Jiang Buxiao's death was indeed sudden. They didn't expect it at all. However, although these elders seemed to be united, they were all secretly scheming. They wouldn't act unless there was a benefit.
Therefore, they didn't care too much about Jiang Buxiao's death. What they said just now was more to shift the blame. They didn't want to have anything to do with this matter.
Jiang Qianjue's face darkened. His eyes flickered with golden light. After thinking for a moment, he coldly snorted and sat at the head of the table. He directly said, "Have you investigated the person who burned Jiang Buxiao to death?"
"We have a general idea, but …" A Seven Star Valley elder stood up. As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Qianjue's expression changed. He shouted coldly, "Speak!"
The elder shuddered and hurriedly said, "That person is about 30 years old. He is a thin man with a sallow face. His cultivation base is at the fourth stage of the Yin Yang Realm. His weapon is a scepter that can spit out terrifying flames. In addition, he seems to be a body cultivator. He once blocked Elder Jiang's sword with one hand."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qianjue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He knew Jiang Buxiao's strength. The fact that Jiang Buxiao was able to block the heavy Scarlet Flame Broadsword with one hand showed how powerful he was. No wonder Jiang Buxiao died so quickly.
"According to my investigation, the man's surname is Chu, and he is an Itinerant Practitioner. Three days ago, Su Jingan disguised himself and secretly left Qingling City, probably to seek help from this person. As for other information, it is still under investigation." The Seven Star Valley elder said everything he knew. As he spoke, he observed the changes in Jiang Qianjue's expression.
"Three days is not a long time. If he went back and forth, he could barely leave the Seven Star Valley. It seems that he is indeed an Itinerant Practitioner and not from Wanjian Pavilion." Jiang Qianjue touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Of course, Jiang Qianjue knew about the huge changes in Wanjian Pavilion. He also knew that Su Jingan and Chu Xingyun were close friends. So when he heard about this, he subconsciously thought of Wanjian Pavilion.
But now, he basically rejected this idea. Going back and forth in three days, thirty years old, a body cultivator who could control terrifying flames at will. It was impossible for him to be from Wanjian Pavilion.
Seeing Jiang Qianjue lowering his head and pondering, the elders didn't dare to speak. Their eyes kept darting around, wanting to stay out of this.
"After that person came to Qingling City, he acted so powerfully and even dared to challenge me in public. This matter is not simple." Jiang Qianjue narrowed his eyes and looked up. He asked, "Is that person still in Qingchen Pavilion?"
"That's right. He hasn't left at all." A Seven Star Valley elder immediately said.
"Alright, then I will go meet him personally!" The golden light in Jiang Qianjue's eyes surged and filled his entire eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up and disappeared from the main hall at an astonishing speed.
Seeing this, the Seven Star Valley elders didn't dare to slack off. They all moved and quickly followed him.
The group of people flew through the air, creating ear-piercing sounds. Their aura was mighty and soon attracted the attention of countless people. The entire Qingling City shook again. Everyone was shocked.
After Chu Xingyun burned Jiang Buxiao, he said that he would welcome Jiang Qianjue's arrival at any time. Now, Jiang Qianjue appeared and even led a group of Seven Star Valley elders away.
Just thinking about it made the crowd's blood boil. They followed them curiously.
This trend became more and more intense. When Jiang Qianjue arrived at Qingchen Pavilion, countless people had already gathered in all directions. They were all looking at him curiously.
"This is troublesome." The Seven Star Valley elders scanned the surroundings and their faces turned ugly.
They didn't expect that this matter would attract so much attention. Now, Qingchen Pavilion was almost completely surrounded by the crowd. Their every move was exposed to everyone.
Under such circumstances, if they acted recklessly or directly threatened Fu Xiaochen, it would attract countless criticism.
After all, although Fu Xiaochen's power had fallen and he was seriously injured, he was still the Lord of Seven Star Valley in name. No matter how powerful Jiang Qianjue was, he wouldn't dare to act now.
It was because of this reason that Jiang Qianjue hadn't been able to seize the position of Valley Lord. He was waiting, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
"Rascal, get out here right now!" Jiang Qianjue didn't care about the elders' worries. He lowered his voice and the sound waves were like waves, shaking the entire Qingchen Pavilion. Some of the weaker cultivators directly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"Jiang Qianjue, as an elder of Seven Star Valley, you came to Valley Lord Fu's residence. Not only did you not greet him, you even dared to shout at him, shaking the entire Qingchen Pavilion. Do you still have Valley Lord Fu in your heart?"
At this moment, a mocking voice rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Chu Xingyun walked out from the Azure Dust Pavilion at a steady pace. His eyes did not avoid Jiang Qianjue's gaze. He stared right at Jiang Qianjue.
"You are the one who killed Jiang Feng and Jiang Buxiao?" Jiang Qianjue raised an eyebrow. Then, without waiting for Chu Xingyun's reply, a demonic golden light bloomed from his body and he turned into a giant two-headed python. He opened his mouth and approached Chu Xingyun.
His voice was low as he coldly declared, "There is an ancient saying, a life for a life. Now, you can die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light exploded.
