Watching Jiang Changkong remain silent, Immortal Venerable Zhenxuan smiled faintly and stroked his beard.
His black hair draped over his shoulders, his fingers gently caressing his beard. His gaze was profound, like an endless starry sky.
"Since you have come, speak plainly of your business. I am not some monstrous villain.
Even if I refuse, I will not make things difficult for you."
Immortal Venerable Zhenxuan said.
"Then I shall speak frankly." Jiang Changkong bowed once more before saying, "I have joined the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and am now one of its deputy leaders, yet I did not know its connections ran so deep.
Not long ago, I learned through investigation that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance has ties to the Zhenyuan Immortal Sect, Penglai, Immortal Slaying, and other factions."
Immortal Venerable Zhenxuan nodded slightly. "Judicial Immortal Emperor, do you wish to take over the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's network?"
Jiang Changkong shook his head. "No. I merely have many doubts in my heart and came to seek answers."
Immortal Venerable Zhenxuan wore a faint smile as he waited for his explanation.
Jiang Changkong took out Gu Hanshan's corpse, and Immortal Venerable Zhenxuan's eyes twitched slightly.
He knew this deputy leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Just days ago, Gu Hanshan had gone to see Qingfeng Immortal Emperor. Could it be that Jiang Changkong had killed him as soon as he left the Zhenyuan Sect?
"This is what I obtained in the Chaos..."
Jiang Changkong recounted what had happened, and Immortal Venerable Zhenxuan's expression gradually grew solemn.
By that account, the current Gu Hanshan was very likely a fake.
"Rogue cultivator Immortal Emperors were banished to the Ancient Heavenly Realm. If they went into the Chaos, they should have found it difficult to become acquainted with Immortal Emperors of the immortal sects."
