Man Hongtu's pupils contracted again at those words. "Utter nonsense!
"How could a junior who only broke through to True Immortal a few decades ago possibly kill Li Wusheng?"
The young man hurriedly said, "This was probably a smokescreen laid by Bu Yufeng.
"They say Xu Changxing caused quite a stir when he broke through to True Immortal, and everyone was fooled by him.
"Looking at it now, Xu Changxing must have already broken through to Heavenly Immortal back then.
"That was most likely why Bu Yufeng broke with convention and made Xu Changxing a second-generation patriarch of Seven Star Island.
"But no one realized it at the time. Even Patriarch Li Wusheng was deceived.
"That was precisely why Patriarch Li rashly charged into Seven Star Island, intending to take it in one fell swoop.
"But that treacherous scoundrel Xu Changxing suddenly unleashed his strength, breaking Patriarch Li's demonic art with a surprise attack and seizing the chance to slay him."
Man Hongtu narrowed his eyes slightly at this. "This Xu Changxing certainly has some tricks up his sleeve.
"But that way of doing things hardly resembles an immortal sect's. It is quite in keeping with our Demonic Gate instead."
After saying this, he turned back to the young man still kneeling prostrate on the ground and asked,
"Has Ren Junxing been informed?"
"Someone has already gone to inform Patriarch Ren!"
Barely had the young man finished speaking when a deep, oppressive demonic might approached from afar.
A moment later, an aged voice rang out beside Man Hongtu. "Li Wusheng died on Seven Star Island. What do you make of this?"
Man Hongtu said coldly, "What else is there to make of it? Naturally, we kill Xu Changxing and seize all of Seven Star Island while we are at it.
