Fang Jiuyuan had decided to hold a meeting before the candidates for the Four Great Constables arrived in the capital. In Su Xin's view, he wasn't just trying to make a move early—he was also feeling a little guilty.
The Tie Family wouldn't let the Corpse-Driving Sect incident go just like that. One of their own had died at the sect's hands.
The Soul Fusion Realm warrior from the Corpse-Driving Sect had sensed something was wrong when all his people died in the Kunlun Secret Realm and had fled immediately. But the Corpse-Driving Sect was already on the Six Fan Sect's wanted list.
Worse, the Six Fan Sect had even sent the Yi Sword Sect a letter, full of intelligence about the Corpse-Driving Sect's current situation.
And aside from the Corpse-Driving Sect, there were other scores that needed settling.
Prince of Chu, Ji Yanhao, was one of them. But he had nothing left by his side now, and the Tie Family couldn't very well kill him, so the matter had to be dropped.
But Fang Jiuyuan couldn't escape responsibility for what had happened. After all, he had been the one to recruit those Corpse-Driving Sect members into the Six Fan Sect, and things had ended in disaster.
The Tie Family's retaliation had come swiftly. Every constable under Fang Jiuyuan who had been in contact with the Corpse-Driving Sect was taken away. Their fate was easy to imagine.
Liu Wuqian knew Fang Jiuyuan had brought this on himself. The Tie Family was truly furious, so Liu Wuqian hadn't interfered at all. He had simply stood by and watched.
In just a few days, most of the forces under Fang Jiuyuan had been purged. He was now nearly mad with hatred for those idiots from the Corpse-Driving Sect.
