The atmosphere in the main hall was stifling.
For a long while, no one answered.
No one was willing to step forward and take on this hot potato.
The reason was simple.
Su Yi had entered the Azure Firmament God Court only a few months ago, yet one shocking death after another had already occurred around him.
The first time, Night Wandering Hall Deputy Palace Master Huang Changting had taken Su Yi out on a mission, with Old Ancestor Hui Qing secretly following along.
In the end, both Huang Changting and Old Ancestor Hui Qing had died.
The second time, Third Elder Ku Zhen and Old Ancestor Yuan Shan had taken Su Yi on a mission, and both of them had died mysteriously as well!
Under such circumstances, Su Yi was no different from the Plague God in the eyes of these elders. No one wanted to provoke him.
Seeing the sect leader's expression grow increasingly grim, an old man in golden robes gave a dry cough and broke the silence. "Sect Leader, Xiao Jian went out to carry out a sect mission, and we do not know the purpose of his trip. If we move against him for no reason, then once the matter is exposed... how could the Great Elder possibly let it rest?"
The others nodded one after another.
Indeed, there was neither justification nor proper cause. Xiao Jian had openly accepted a sect mission and gone out to act. Under such circumstances, what reason was there to move against him?
Not to mention, the Great Elder was watching!
Someone sighed. "Furthermore, if there truly is a problem with Xiao Jian's identity, then with the strength of people like us, I fear we simply cannot capture him."
Old Ancestor Hui Qing was dead.
Old Ancestor Yuan Shan
