Just as Ren Ze spoke, Su Shi'er swept his arms, flicked all ten fingers, and formed another profound hand seal.
In the space of a breath, true essence in one hand and Buddha Essence in the other surged forth, transforming into seals that filled the sky and Buddha Seals that blanketed all directions.
As Su Shi'er took action, the energy dispersing from within the Grand Elder's body was restrained around the courtyard before it could spread.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the energy in the air completely dissipated into heaven and earth.
Su Shi'er's hand seals changed again, and the seals and Buddha Seals melted into one another, reducing the impact to the minimum.
Without energy stirring it, the constantly trembling ground gradually returned to calm.
"Damn it! I... I refuse to accept this!"
The Grand Elder's ink-black eyes fixed stubbornly on Su Shi'er as he let out an unwilling cry.
But with all his cultivation scattered, no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing more he could do.
As his words fell, he spat out another mouthful of blood and toppled stiffly to the ground. His life force vanished, and he died on the spot.
"Huff..."
Seeing that the danger had passed, Ren Ze immediately let out a long breath.
Then his expression froze, and he hurriedly turned to the Night Clan's leader beside him. "Clan Leader, you saw it as well. The Grand Elder's sudden death had absolutely nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Su."
"Still, the Grand Elder's condition was quite similar to when Steward Shen died earlier. Clan Leader, you must be careful. Since the other party dared to commit murder in public, I'm afraid..."
At that point, Ren Ze's voice abruptly stopped.
His meaning had already been made
