The Mountain Martial Saint!

"When Li Su was on patrolling the Eastern Sea on orders from the Azure Xuan Province Martial Dao Committee, he encountered the Venerable-level Demon Beast, the Surging Wave Dragon Beast, and was tragically killed! All members of our guild are deeply saddened by this."

Hearing this nonsense, Zhou Chen couldn't help but think to himself that Azurewood Venerable's ability to lie through his teeth was truly astonishing.

It's pitiful that Li Su Martial Dao Guild his entire life, only to die an unexplained death.

But perhaps that's just life.

"Venerable Zhou, as long as you don't reveal the true cause of Li Su's death, our Martial Dao Guild is confident in resolving the consequences."

Azurewood Venerable, with an air of complete confidence, spoke calmly.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Zhou Chen didn't refute it. Since the Martial Dao Guild was willing to settle things peacefully, he wouldn't insist on a confrontation.

However, just then, a phone rang. Azurewood Venerable answered the phone, listened for a while, and his expression immediately changed!

Putting down his phone, Azurewood Venerable looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Venerable Zhou, the Cangxuan Li Family has been wiped out."

"Who did this?!"

Zhou Chen was somewhat astonished. He did want to destroy the Cangxuan Li Family, but he hadn't even made a move yet!

"The Cangxuan Li Family was wiped out by the Righteous Qi Sect and the Longshen Merchant Family."

Azurewood Venerable's lips twitched slightly, clearly indicating that he was deeply shocked.

Holy crap, this is wiping out the roots!

That's too ruthless!

Seeing Azurewood Venerable's bewildered expression, Zhou Chen frowned, thinking to himself, "Does this old thing think that I ordered the massacre of the Cangxuan Li Family?"

In fact, that's exactly what Azurewood Venerable thought!

In Mu Qinghuan's view, without the order of this Venerable Zhou, where would the Righteous Qi Sect and the Longshen Merchant Family have gotten the audacity to besiege a powerful clan that has considerable influence throughout the entire Great Xuan Kingdom?

Only this Venerable Zhou could give the Righteous Qi Sect and the Longshen Merchant Family enough confidence!

Otherwise, the counterattack from the Azure Xuan Martial Dao Branch alone, and the fury of the Noble Clan Alliance, would be something that the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family could not withstand!

However, now that the Cangxuan Li Family has been wiped out, there's no point in talking about it anymore, so it's better to just skip it.

Thinking of this, Azurewood Venerable sighed and changed the subject, saying, "Out of respect for Venerable Zhou, the Martial Dao Guild can ignore the actions of the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family in slaughtering powerful families. However, those wealthy and noble families with kinship or vested interests with the Cangxuan Li Family will likely not let this go so easily!"

"As long as the Martial Dao Guild doesn't interfere, that's fine."

Zhou Chen stared directly at Azurewood Venerable, his eyes sharp, and said, "As for those noble families, if they dare to make any rash moves, I will show them no mercy!"

Upon hearing such murderous words, Azurewood Venerable's slight dissatisfaction immediately vanished.

This Venerable Zhou looks like a decisive and ruthless person; it's best not to provoke him.

However, the thought of the Cangxuan Li Family being slaughtered left Azurewood Venerable at a loss for what to do.

The original method of erasing the impact is no longer feasible.

We have to change our plans.

Azurewood Venerable frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "Venerable Zhou, how about this? Since the Cangxuan Li Family has been destroyed, I'm afraid that using Demon Beast to kill people will not be able to cover up the cause of Li Su's death."

"So, what does Azurewood Venerable mean...?"

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow and said.

"The Cangxuan Li Family colluded with the Demon Race, using humans to create Demon Puppet and committing numerous evils. After the Martial Dao Guild discovered their conspiracy, they immediately dispatched powerful experts to kill Li Su."

Azurewood Venerable spouted nonsense with a straight face. "As for the Cangxuan Li Family, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, the Martial Dao Guild did not use the manpower within its branches, but instead invited the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family to take action."

"That... makes a lot of sense."

Zhou Chen was shocked that Azurewood Venerable could fabricate such nonsense, and he admired him immensely.

This seasoned veteran is truly awesome!

"Venerable Zhou, then let's proceed in this manner."

Azurewood Venerable said calmly.

"Good."

Zhou Chen nodded in agreement.

"Would Venerable Zhou be willing to visit my residence?"

"Invitation from Azurewood Venerable," he said.

Of course, this also implies that they want to get rid of the guest.

"No, I'd better return to Azure Xuan Province first."

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhou Chen immediately rode on auspicious Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud and sped off towards Azure Xuan Province!

Azurewood Venerable sighed, and then flew towards the capital of Qing Province.

Meanwhile, in the capital of Azure Xuan Province.

The wind howls and cranes cry; even the grass and trees seem like soldiers.

Warriors from the Righteous Qi Sect and the Longshen Merchant Family have occupied the Cangxuan Li Family's territory and are moving the remaining Essence Crystal, Martial Dao Technique, and various cultivation resources inside.

Meanwhile, Wen Fengxiang, the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, hovered in the void, patrolling back and forth.

Beside Wen Fengxiang was an elderly man dressed in simple black-patterned clothing.

"Zhou Zun".
