"What did you do?"
A voice filled with shock and fury suddenly rang beside Zhang Hongwen's ear.
Zhang Hongwen jolted and abruptly came back to his senses.
Without a second thought, he dropped to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground, sobbing, "Master!"
Zhang Hongwen had no idea why Li Xuanji had suddenly passed away while calculating the heavenly secrets.
But he knew very well that he could not absolve himself of involvement!
Although Li Xuanji was a Golden Core cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan, his seniority was so great that no one in all of Five Peaks Mountain could compare with him.
Moreover, only a handful of Five Peaks Mountain's upper echelon even knew of his existence.
In order to prolong his lifespan as much as possible,
Li Xuanji would only possibly Make a Move in person if Five Peaks Mountain faced a disaster that would wipe out the sect.
And once he made a move, it would inevitably be his final strike!
The problem was that although calculating the heavenly secrets would cost a certain amount of lifespan and cultivation, this Golden Core True Person would never have staked his own life on it.
Unless the target of his calculations...
Zhang Hongwen was terrified. Shocked and afraid, two streams of hot tears rolled down his face.
"Get up and speak!"
Standing beside Zhang Hongwen was a beautiful woman dressed in rainbow-feather robes. Baleful Intent filled her phoenix eyes, and her face was as cold as frost. Her gaze upon Zhang Hongwen was like a sharp sword, piercing straight through his Divine Soul.
"Do not put on such a childish display!"
Zhang Hongwen hurriedly rose. Without waiting for her to question him, he recounted the entire matter from beginning to end without concealing a single detail.
