Elder Qi, How Did Sect Master Han Die?

The Main Hall was quiet.

Outside the Main Hall, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators had already surrounded them.

The Foundation Establishment Elders and the Deacons of each hall had clearly already sensed the fluctuations in Spiritual Qi in the Main Hall.

For half an hour, not a single person dared to push open the door.

Lu Ping withdrew his gaze and looked down at Han Changqing at his feet.

At this moment, Han Changqing had not yet had time to place the five elders on the stone platform and refine them into the Blood-Congealing Five-Elements Pill.

It didn't Demonization that half-human, half-demon ghostly form.

In the simulation, the evidence against Han Changqing for colluding with the Demon Race was irrefutable.

In reality, there is nothing.

The Pill Formula for the Blood-Congealing Five-Elements Pill alone is insufficient to convict someone.

As for "Golden Crow Demon Emperor," those four characters are too far-fetched.

Hearing the Demon Emperor's secrets is hardly a meritorious act for a small sect; it's more like the entire sect is lining up to be silenced.

Lu Ping remembered why Ji Chengfeng of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect was captured by the Dark Hall.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor has spread today; tomorrow, the Greenwood Sect will disappear from the Qingling Border Region.

Lu Ping raised his hand and gestured.

The Sect Master Token at Han Changqing's waist flew into his palm.

Qi Cangshu stood three steps away, not daring to even breathe.

He watched as this mysterious True Person Lu, who claimed to be Outer Sect Disciple, shattered the Demon Emperor's Divine Sense with a single finger and then casually searched Han Changqing's soul.

The Greenwood Sect has been completely replaced.

Lu Ping turned around and looked at Qi Cangshu.

Elder Qi.

Qi Cangshu's apple bobbed, and in the end, he couldn't maintain that air of an elder and slowly knelt down.

"True Person Lu gave his instructions."

Lu Ping toyed with the Sect Master Token in his hand.

How did Han Changqing die?

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Qi Cangshu's forehead.

He thinks very quickly.

Is it true that Han Changqing colluded with the Demon Race?

No evidence.

He naturally knew that he was not qualified to utter the words "Golden Crow Demon Emperor" to outsiders.

Is it true that Han Changqing was killed by True Person Lu?

Since True Person Lu asked this question, it's clear that it wasn't True Person Lu who killed him.

Qi Cangshu paused for only a moment before whispering,

"Sect Master Han..."

"Sect Master Han was eager to break through to the Golden Core, so he forced his way through, Qi Deviation. In the end, his Spiritual Power reversed, his Divine Sense backfired, and his Dantian collapsed, leading to his death."

Lu Ping tossed the token onto Han Changqing's large table.

What last words did Sect Master Han leave behind before his death?

With the groundwork laid, Qi Cangshu's subsequent remarks went much more smoothly.

"Before his death, the Sect Master summoned me to the hall and entrusted me with the important responsibilities of the sect."

Lu Ping nodded.

"The Greenwood Sect cannot be without a master for even a day."

Qi Cangshu raised his head and looked at Lu Ping's ordinary Outer Sect Disciple robes.

"True Person Lu is our sect's Chief True Disciple we have kept hidden for many years."

"According to the sect's rules, he should rightfully assume the position of Sect Master."

Lu Ping remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he nodded in approval.

It's definitely less effort to talk to smart people.

He had been in charge of the Greenwood Sect in the Simulator for decades, and he never knew that the Greenwood Sect had the concept of a "Chief True Disciple".

A small sect like the Greenwood Sect consists of only Outer Sect Disciples and inner disciples.

Above them are Deacons and elders.

This place is not intended for the transmission of Daoist traditions.

Get up.

Lu Ping's Golden Core slowly circulated within his body, gradually suppressing his aura.

Golden Core Early Stage.

Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

He pointed to the empty seat in front of him.

Elder Qi, please stand in front of me.

Qi Cangshu didn't dare to ask any more questions and obediently walked to stand in front of Lu Ping.

Qi Cangshu stood beside the Sect Master's table, while Lu Ping stood in the shadows behind him.

The two walked one in front of the other.

Time passed little by little.

Half an hour later.

The stalemate outside the Main Hall finally reached its limit.

The elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, the Mining Hall, and several Deacons of the External Affairs Hall exchanged glances.

There was no movement Main Hall for half an hour.

It's either mutual destruction or the outcome is already decided.

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall took a deep breath and pushed open the hall door.

A dozen or so Greenwood Sect's senior members filed in.

The first thing they saw was Han Changqing lying slumped beside the table.

Blood flowed from all seven orifices, and he was no longer breathing.

The second thing you see is Qi Cangshu standing with his hands behind his back.

And Lu Ping, dressed in the Outer Sect Disciple's robes, stood to Qi Cangshu's side and slightly behind.

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall brandished his longsword and shouted sharply.

"Qi Cangshu!"

"How dare you plot against the Sect Master!"

The Mining Hall elder immediately took half a step back and clutched the Law Artifact in his sleeve.

People from the External Affairs Hall even pasted their stickers directly onto the door frame.

Just as the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was about to order the arrest...

Lu Ping raised his eyes and released his Foundation Establishment aura.

[Effective Bully at Home.]

The air Main Hall instantly became incredibly thick.

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly lowered the longsword he had raised, the tip of which struck the blue brick, sending sparks flying.

The Mining Hall Law Artifact in the elder's sleeve fell directly to the ground.

Several Deacons in the External Affairs Hall collapsed to their knees with a thud.

This oppressive force is terrifying.

It was as if a Primordial Giant Beast had descended from the sky, its gaping maw hanging over everyone's heads.

It will be chewed into minced meat with the slightest movement.

But this oppressive aura lasted only a fleeting moment.

Send and receive immediately.

It was so fast it seemed like an illusion.

But the soaked robes on everyone's backs reminded them that it was all real.

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall stared intently at Qi Cangshu.

The oppressive aura just now came from the direction of Qi Cangshu!

It was Qi Cangshu who released it!

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was in turmoil.

That old codger Qi Cangshu, he usually seems unassuming, but he's actually hiding his true abilities so well!

With that kind of strength, killing Han Changqing would be a piece of cake.

No wonder he dared to be alone in the Main Hall.

No wonder he dared not open the door for half an hour.

They're just waiting for them to come in and die!

If you had this capability, you should have said so earlier; we would have surrendered long ago.

The elder of the Mining Hall immediately lowered his hands, his voice trembling slightly.

Elder Qi ...

"What... what exactly is going on?"

Qi Cangshu had his back to Lu Ping, and he smiled bitterly to himself.

He certainly felt the terrifying pressure from just now.

He also noticed the way the group of people were looking at him.

These idiots mistook him for the mastermind behind Han Changqing's murder.

If Qi Cangshu had such ability, why would he have tolerated Han Changqing in the Alchemy Hall for so many years?

But he couldn't explain it.

He could only take the blame upon himself.

Qi Cangshu coughed and cleared his throat.

He adopted the airs of an elder of the Alchemy Hall.

"Gentlemen."

"Sect Master Han is impatient for quick success and is attempting to force his way to the Golden Core Dao."

"Unfortunately, his foundation was unstable, Qi Deviation, and his Spiritual Power reversed, leading to his death."

Qi Cangshu pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"When I arrived, the Sect Master was already beyond saving."

The Main Hall was completely silent.

Qi Deviation?

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall glanced at Han Changqing's miserable state, with blood flowing from all seven orifices, and then at Qi Cangshu.

Nobody would believe that.

Who could possibly Qi Deviation and shatter the defensive Array Patterns of the Main Hall?

This was clearly a case of being crushed to death by absolute power.

But no one dared to refute it.

Han Changqing is dead.

The strongest person in the Greenwood Sect right now is the unfathomable Qi Cangshu standing before us.

In everyone's imagination, it was because Qi Cangshu had just ended a decades-long covert struggle with Han Changqing.

Questioning Qi Cangshu at this point is tantamount to failing to voluntarily request to join Han Changqing in seclusion.

The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall sheathed his longsword and bowed respectfully.

Elder Qi, please accept my condolences.

"Now that the Sect Master has left, the sect cannot be without a leader for even a day."

"We urge Elder Qi to take charge and assume the position of Sect Master."

The elders of the Mining Hall followed immediately.

"Please, Elder Qi, assume the Sect Master!"
