Qi Shan, with his red hair, is one of the most powerful Venerable in the Qingling Palace.
He was beaming with pride and looked very pleased with himself.
He himself was a prodigy, already revered among the True Saints, and a legend of his time.
Who would have thought that the old man would take Zhu Xuan, such a peerless genius, as his disciple? Within a hundred years, Zhu Xuan will become Dao Monarch, which will become another legendary tale.
And.
Qi Shan's mind worked quickly. Not long ago, the Sword of Ten Thousand Laws Light in the sky, and then Zhu Xuan's younger brother, Zhu Ming, had an accident.
In an instant, he guessed the general idea.
"It's best that that good-for-nothing younger brother is dead, so he won't continue to act arrogantly and ruin Zhu Xuan's reputation."
"However, Zhu Ming actually did a good deed before his accident, and the person he clashed with was Jiang Pingping obtained the Life-Death Sword."
"That's fine, it gives us even more reason to demand that sword."
Qi Shan thought to himself as he followed behind Zhu Xuan.
At the same time, he pulled out an Incompleteness Supreme Artifact.
Jiang Pingping also possesses such an object; we must be wary.
And so, he quietly arrived above Nine Clouds City. When he saw Zhu Xuan like Blazing Sun overhead, shouting the words "Jiang Pingping," Qi Shan was overjoyed:
"It's safe, it's safe, that sword..."
The next moment, Qi Shan's smile vanished abruptly, and he froze on the spot, his head buzzing as if struck by Heavenly Thunder.
The blazing Blazing Sun vanished in an instant, without him even noticing.
Once his thoughts came to a complete focus, he suddenly woke up.
The sun has now vanished, leaving not a trace.
"No!!"
Qi Shan was instantly heartbroken, his eyes wide with rage, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
His disciple, Zhu Xuan, who was regarded as his successor and was expected to become Dao Monarch within a hundred years, was killed in this way.
"Ah..."
The Venerable looked up to the sky and roared, his heart breaking.
His eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face. Such a remarkable person, who had not perished in the future bloody battle, nor been killed by his enemies, had died on his own territory at the hands of a guest advisor.
Xiao Ran, Fang Xin, and the others arrived late, just in time to see the Blazing Sun go out. They were momentarily stunned and felt their hands and feet turn cold.
Dressed in plain clothes, Su Beichen (the third- Upper True Disciple) trembled as he said, "This Elder Jiang is truly brave, daring to kill my Qingling Upper True Disciple."
Fang Xin fell silent. This was not the first time that Guest Elder had killed a peerless genius; Shi Zhou had died at his hands in the past.
However, the situation is quite different. This happened on Qingling's territory, and Jiang Pingping killed Qingling's future in full view of everyone. This matter is unlikely to end well.
"You beast, you'll pay with your life!"
A furious roar echoed across the sky above Nine Clouds City.
Qi Shan activated the Supreme Artifact, and the supreme intent was like a mountain torrent bursting its banks, with a vast ocean of laws pouring out, causing the entire Spirit Treasure Pavilion to teeter on the brink of collapse.
As the guardian of this place, Lu Cun felt immense pressure once again. He had no choice but to take out the Supreme Artifact he obtained from the Moon Star, hoping to stop them.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Pingping draw another terrifying longsword.
"Senior, it's only reasonable for you to intervene this time."
"It's always the same; the younger ones get beaten up, then the older ones come. I just want to take care of myself peacefully."
The Sword of Life-Death Sword sighed, but it instantly moved. Its supreme power of Life-Death erupted like a volcano, and in an instant, the entire Qingling Territory became dazzling.
It was as bright as day here.
"Stop!!"
A shout came from afar; it was Cui Yue, who had arrived last, and the most senior, weathered old man.
The two looked at the Supreme Will of Life-Death and felt a chill run down their spines.
At that moment, the laws of Life-Death surged into the sky, causing the heavens to explode; it was too late for them to stop it.
Another violent roar echoed from all directions, and Qi Shan collapsed into a pool of blood. However, he was not dead; the Supreme Artifact in his hand had lost ninety percent of its power.
Can.
"My Supreme Artifact!!"
The Venerable's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but roar again, his eyes bloodshot and spitting fire.
His disciple is dead, and now even his Supreme Artifact has been destroyed in a single blow.
That's an absolute rip-off!
Qi Shan glared at Jiang Pingping, his killing intent blazing. He roared angrily, "Cui Yue, Elder Ming, this traitor killed my Qingling True Disciple and destroyed my Supreme Treasure, and you still want to watch the show?!"
"Don't be impatient!"
Cui Yue frowned, then looked to the side.
A figure appeared to his side; it was none other than Wang Ping, the chief disciple of the Qingling True Disciple.
At this moment, a wisp of golden light appeared in Wang Ping's hand. He said, "Zhu Xuan did not perish. I used my Longevity Qi to protect part of his Primordial Spirit at the critical moment."
"What?!"
Qi Shan was startled. He instantly appeared in front of Wang Ping. After a moment, his Killing intent lessened considerably, but his expression remained somewhat grim.
"For Xuan'er to fully recover, it will take at least twenty years and a lot of resources."
Wang Ping sighed, "This is already the best possible outcome."
He had done his utmost to protect Zhu Xuan's life from that Supreme Artifact excelled in the art of the soul.
"Master, avenge me!!"
A surge of anger emanated from Zhu Xuan's fragmented Primordial Spirit. He never imagined that someone would actually dare to kill him.
Even if he manages to save his life for now, his cultivation will lag behind his Peers, and he won't be able to become Dao Monarch within a hundred years.
"Revenge! We must get revenge!"
Qi Shan readily agreed, then looked at the most senior Venerable, Elder Ming.
At this moment, Elder Ming was listening to Lu Cun's report. After a while, the weathered old man's face turned gloomy and ashen.
Cui Yue spoke softly:
"Zhu Xuan, you've given birth to a fine younger brother! He tried to embezzle 50,000 contribution points during a single inventory check."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan angrily shouted, "My brother is dead! He's already dead! Are you going to question me for the sake of an outsider?"
"But in the end, it all started with Zhu Ming. If you hadn't intervened, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Fang Xin couldn't help but speak up.
"Fang Xin, what do you mean?"
Zhu Xuan was furious again. He hadn't expected that even Fang Xin, who was also Upper True Disciple, would speak up for Jiang Pingping.
"Literally, I've heard that your brother has been running rampant in Qingling because of your reputation. Many people dared not speak out against him, but now he's just reaping what he sowed. He deserves it."
If it were me, I would have killed him too, but unfortunately he bullies the weak and fears the strong, and dares not provoke me.
Xiao Ran!!
Zhu Xuan was so angry he vomited blood. He was also somewhat taken aback that even Xiao Ran was speaking up for that guest elder.
"Zhu Xuan, Jiang Pingping was wrong in this matter; she shouldn't have killed him. But you were also at fault. How could you act without distinguishing right from wrong? You should have asked around."
"Su Beichen, I'm asking your mother!"
"Enough!!"
Elder Ming, not wanting to see the great True Disciple amongst themselves, couldn't help but speak up to stop it.
At the same time, he was somewhat surprised that his three most prominent members were all speaking up for that guest advisor.
Qi Shan frowned upon seeing this; it was not good news. He said:
"Although Zhu Xuan is not dead, Jiang Pingping committed murder and destroyed Supreme Treasure, and must be severely punished."
"Severe punishment? How should it be carried out?"
"Of course..."
Qi Shan stopped talking abruptly halfway through his sentence.
His Supreme Artifacts were all destroyed by Jiang Pingping; now, with Qingling in power, who can possibly defeat him?
The weathered old man sighed and said, "True Self wanted him to offer up the Life-Death Sword, but now it's impossible. Zhu Ming ruined everything."
Qi Shan's face was grim, and he was inwardly cursing Zhu Xuan for being so amazing, yet having a brother as useless as a pig meant that this opportunity was going to slip away.
"I'll go ask that kid what he thinks. He's also a good friend of my disciple."
Cui Yue spoke up.
Soon after, at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Jiang Ping looked at Cui Yue, and although he was grateful for the other's rescue on the Moon Star, he still said:
"I can't bring out the Life-Death Sword. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will."
Cui Yue: "..."
