When Fang Han said that Duan Wuya personally admitted that he was bribed by Wan Yuntian, Zhou Jin Elder frowned suddenly.

"Wan Yuntian?"

Zhou Jin Elder's voice suddenly turned cold, with suppressed anger.

"Is this the Myriad Treasures Tower young poster who spread rumors and apologized last time?"

"Exactly this person."

Fang Han nodded.

"Duan Wuya personally admitted that Wan Yuntian gave him a 500-year-old Blood Jade Coral and asked him to take my life."

Zhou Jin Elder was silent.

He leaned on the back of the chair and tapped the armrest with his fingers unconsciously, making a soft "click, click" sound.

After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at Fang Han. In addition to anger, there was a hint of scrutiny and surprise in his eyes.

"You mean, you fought Duan Wuya and not only were you not defeated, but you actually defeated him and forced him to use his secret escape technique to escape?"

"Yes." Fang Han responded.

Zhou Jin Elder flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Duan Wuya, Prodigy Ranking Forty-fifth.

Fang Han, Prodigy Ranking Fifty-fifth.

The difference of ten places is already quite obvious at the level of Prodigy Ranking.

However, Fang Han was able to defeat it.

What this means, Zhou Jin Elder knows very well.

Fang Han's true strength far exceeds its ranking.

He took a deep look at Fang Han. In his eyes, there was surprise, admiration, and a bit of emotion.

"In this matter, the sect will seek justice for you."

Zhou Jin Elder gathered his thoughts and spoke decisively.

"Wan Yuntian paid to kill me Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple. Such behavior has touched the bottom line of the sect. Myriad Treasures Tower must give an explanation."

He stood up and said to Fang Han:

"You go back and recuperate first, I will handle this matter."

"Thank you Elder."

Fang Han stood up, saluted solemnly, turned around and exited Side Hall.

Watching Fang Han leave, Zhou Jin Elder stood there with his hands behind his back.

After a moment, he turned around and walked out of the Side Hall, passed through the Law Enforcement Hall hall, and walked along a quiet stone path towards the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, a simple palace stands quietly.

Above the palace door, there is a plaque hanging with three words -

"Sect Master's Hall".

Zhou Jin Elder came to the front of the hall, and the disciples on duty quickly bowed and saluted.

"Elder."

"Is the sect master here?"

"The sect master is in the palace."

Zhou Jin Elder nodded and stepped into the hall.

The furnishings in the palace are simple, but it has a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Behind the desk directly in front, a figure is sitting on a chair, flipping through something.

His face is elegant, but his temples are slightly stained with frost, and his eyebrows carry the majesty and calmness accumulated from years of being in charge of a large sect.

He looks about forty years old, but his real age should be much older.

Wearing a simple dark purple uniform without too many decorations, she still has a calm and authoritative air.

It is Azure Profound Sect, the sect leader, Chen Tianyuan.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Tianyuan raised his eyes and saw it was Zhou Jin. A hint of surprise flashed in his gentle eyes.

"Junior brother Zhou, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhou Jin Elder took a few steps forward and bowed.

"Sect Master, I have something to report to you."

"Sit down and talk."

Chen Tianyuan motioned him to sit down and put down the file in his hand.

Zhou Jin sat down, took a deep breath, and told in detail what happened to Fang Han when he was attacked on his way back, and what Fang Han reported.

When he said that Duan Wuya personally admitted that he was bribed by Wan Yuntian, a hint of coldness suddenly flashed across Chen Tianyuan's gentle eyes.

"Wan Yuntian?"

Chen Tianyuan's voice was still calm, but underneath that calmness, there was a chill that made people palpitate.

"The one who spread rumors and apologized last time?"

"Exactly." Zhou Jin nodded.

Chen Tianyuan was silent.

He slowly leaned back on the chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the smooth armrest, making a subtle "click" sound.

There was a brief silence in the hall, with only the faint sound of wind coming from the window.

After a moment, Chen Tianyuan spoke, his voice was calm but with unquestionable majesty.

"What a courage."

Chen Tianyuan stood up, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Last time Wan Yuntian spread rumors, because his father Wan Chongshan apologized sincerely, so he didn't go into details. I thought that Wan Yuntian could learn a lesson and restrain his behavior..."

He paused, and his voice suddenly turned cold.

"But I never thought that he would go even worse and dare to pay for murder."

"This matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise, who will take me, Azure Profound Sect, seriously in the future?"

Zhou Jin stood up quickly, cupped his hands and said:

"What the sect leader said is absolutely true. Wan Yuntian's behavior has touched the sect's bottom line. If we don't punish her severely, how can we deter Xiao Xiao?"

Chen Tianyuan turned around and his eyes fell on Zhou Jin's face.

"Junior brother Zhou, it is up to you to go to Prefecture City and go to Myriad Treasures Tower for this matter."

"Wan Chongshan must give an explanation. Wan Yuntian paid to kill me Azure Profound Sect True Disciple. This matter must not be exposed lightly."

Zhou Jin looked serious and responded solemnly:

"Yes, Sect Master, don't worry, my subordinates will make Myriad Treasures Tower pay the price."

Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly and looked deeply.

"Go ahead."

Zhou Jin bowed, turned around and strode out Sect Master's Hall.

Behind him, Chen Tianyuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sinking dusk on the horizon, with a cold light shining in his eyes.

Myriad Treasures Tower...

I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation.

Prefecture City, Myriad Treasures Tower headquarters.

This is a large and majestic building complex covering an extremely large area.

The five-story main building has carved beams and painted beams, cornices and brackets, and is covered with glazed green tiles, shining in the sun.

In front of the building is a wide square, paved with flat bluestones, which can accommodate dozens of carriages to park at the same time.

In the center of the square stands a three-foot-high white marble archway with three large gilt characters "Myriad Treasures Tower" on it.

In front of the door, Guard, dressed in uniform, stood solemnly, with a powerful breath and sharp eyes.

There was an endless stream of guests and traffic, creating a bustling scene.

A carriage slowly stopped at the edge of the square.

Zhou Jin lifted the curtains of the car and glanced across the majestic pavilion with a calm expression.

He got off the carriage, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the main entrance of Myriad Treasures Tower.

A man who looked like a steward came up to him with a professional smile on his face, "This guest officer, I don't know..."

Zhou Jin took out a token from his sleeve and flashed it in front of the steward's eyes.

The token was Dark Cyan, made of some special material, with a simple "Xuan" character engraved on the front and a moire pattern on the back.

The steward's smile instantly froze on his face, and his pupils shrank slightly.

As the steward of Myriad Treasures Tower, he naturally recognizes this token - the Azure Profound Sect Elder order.

"Excuse me, please send a message to Master Wan, Azure Profound Sect Zhou Jin, come and visit."

Zhou Jin put away the token and spoke calmly.

The steward did not dare to neglect, and quickly bowed and said, "Elder, please wait a moment, I will go and report it now!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly towards the building. His pace was hasty and completely different from his calmness just now.

Zhou Jin stood in front of the door with his hands behind his hands, looking calmly at this building, one of Prefecture City's three major chambers of commerce, with no emotion on his face.

Deep inside Myriad Treasures Tower, in a luxuriously decorated study room.

Wan Chongshan was sitting behind a rosewood desk, holding a pen in his hand and making notes on an account book.

He is about fifty years old, well-kept, with a rosy face and a neatly trimmed short beard.

Wearing a dark purple Brocade Robe with a jade belt around her waist, she carries the majesty of a superior person in her every move.

There is a three-legged bronze incense burner placed on the desk. The precious ambergris is burning in the burner, and the green smoke curls up, filling the room with fragrance.

There were rapid footsteps outside the door, followed by the butler's voice.

"Sir, a distinguished guest is here."

Wan Chongshan didn't even raise his head, and the pen in his hand was still moving on the account book.

"Who?"

"It's... Elder, Zhou Jin of the Azure Profound Sect."

Wan Chongshan's pen tip paused slightly on the account book, leaving a small ink stain.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the door.

"Azure Profound Sect Elder...Zhou Jin..."

He repeated in a low voice, frowning almost imperceptibly.

He apologized for what happened years ago and kept his attitude very low. He thought the matter was over.

Now Azure Profound Sect Elder suddenly arrives...

An ominous premonition quietly came to my mind.

"Please."

Wan Chongshan put down the pen, stood up, and straightened his clothes.

"No, I will go and greet you personally."

Myriad Treasures Tower In front of the main entrance, Zhou Jin stands with his hands behind his back.

The figure of Wan Chongshan quickly walked out of the building, followed by two stewards.

With a warm smile on his face, he came to Zhou Jin in a hurry, cupped his hands and said:

"Elder Zhou is here. I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar!"

Zhou Jin nodded slightly and returned the courtesy. "Master Wan, you are so polite and took the liberty to come to visit me. I also hope to see Haihan."

"Elder, what are you talking about? Hurry, please come inside!"

Wan Chongshan led the way sideways, with a warm and respectful attitude.

Zhou Jin took a step forward, followed by Wan Chongshan through the hall, climbed the stairs, and arrived at an elegant Reception Hall room on the third floor.

The hall is luxuriously furnished, with thick velvet carpets, famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and exquisite tea sets and fruit snacks placed on the tables.

The guests and the host were seated separately. Maid served the tea and then left. There were only two people left in the hall.

Wan Chongshan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile on his face, "I wonder why Zhou Elder came here today?"

Zhou Jin did not serve tea, but just looked at Wan Chongshan quietly.

That look was calm and calm, but it made Wan Chongshan feel a little nervous.

"Lord Wan."

Zhou Jin spoke with a flat voice.

"Years ago, Master Wan apologized for the incident between your son and our sect True Disciple Fang Han. He was sincere. In view of your sincerity, our sect True Disciple did not pursue the matter. This matter can be considered as exposed."

The smile on Wan Chongshan's face froze slightly, then recovered and nodded:

"Exactly, Wan has always been grateful for this incident, and has strictly disciplined Quan Zi so that he will not make any mistakes in the future."

Zhou Jin shook his head slightly.

"Lord Wan, please strictly discipline me? Do you know what my son has done behind his back?"

The ominous premonition in Wan Chongshan's heart became stronger and stronger. He suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "Please also ask Zhou Elder to speak clearly."

Zhou Jin said slowly, "A few days ago, our sect True Disciple Fang Han returned home and returned to the sect. On the way, he was intercepted and attacked by the Nether Pavilion True Disciple Duan Wuya."

Wan Chongshan's pupils shrank slightly.

"Then Duan Wuya personally admitted that he was bribed by his son Wan Yuntian to take Fang Han's life."

Zhou Jin's voice was still calm, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Wan Chongshan's heart hard.

"Lord Wan, is this what you call 'strict discipline'?"
