Gui Hai Fu Chen only came to his senses after hearing the shout, and was stunned when he saw Ai Huan Nian's body lying on the ground.

Did he really kill Ai Huannian?

He took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at the disciples with a gloomy expression, and said coldly, "Forget what you just saw. I didn't kill him."

The disciples of the Guihai family shuddered at the sight of his blood-covered face. They exchanged glances, and only when they heard Guihai Fuchen's cold snort did they snap out of their daze and nod vigorously.

While regretting that he had killed the person, Gui Hai Fu Chen recalled his previous guess and immediately looked around and shouted, "I know you are here. Come out quickly, the person is dead."

"You forced me to kill him, was it to frame me, to frame the Guihai family?"

Yes, they must have controlled him, which is why he impulsively killed Ai Huannian.

Yes, that must be it.

Gui Hai Fu Chen kept brainwashing himself.

Seeing that Ai Huannian was beyond dead, Shu Jianyue ignored Gui Haifuchen's shouts, shrugged, and pulled Zhong Jiu away.

Unbeknownst to Gui Haifuchen, he kept shouting and cursing, hoping to force out the person hiding behind the scenes.

He cursed for a whole hour, but apart from the cries of the spirit beasts, there was no sound at all.

The disciples of the Guihai family all thought he had gone mad, otherwise why would he have killed Huan Shao and then been shouting and yelling for so long?

They were sent down to protect the two of them, and now one of them is dead. Even if the other one is insane, he can't die, otherwise they'll all have to go and die with him.

One of the disciples mustered up his courage and asked, "Young...Young Master, Young Master Huan is dead. How are we supposed to explain this?"

Gui Hai Fu Chen glanced at them, then lowered his eyes.

Killing these people is not realistic, and they are all elite disciples of the Guihai family. Killing them would also severely damage the Guihai family.

Gui Hai Fu Chen cursed under his breath, then looked up and said, "Ai Huan Nian was killed by Shu Jian Yue. She's the one who led us here."

"Then, after knocking Huan Shao unconscious, he lured me here, creating a misunderstanding between us and arousing Huan Shao's murderous intent."

"Just now, Young Master Huan tried to kill me, but suddenly he couldn't move, and I killed him as if I were being controlled."

"Besides our own people, the only other person who knows we're here is Shu Jianyue."

"I will inform my father when we get back, and you will all be fine."

If Shu Jianyue were here, she would have to admire his brain; aside from controlling him with a single sentence, he actually guessed correctly.

The disciples breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't been in the private room at the time, so apart from Gui Hai Fu Chen's close attendants, no one else knew what had happened there.

All they knew was that not long after Shu Jianyue and her husband went in, they were notified to come to this mountain range to find the divine beast.

One of the disciples frowned and whispered, "Could it be that the divine beast has returned for revenge? Otherwise, why would it control the young master to kill Young Master Huan?"

When Gui Haifuchen heard him say that, he thought about what was possible and concluded that both possibilities were possible.

Therefore, he will not let Shu Jianyue go, nor will he let that divine beast go.

Gui Hai Fu Chen collected Ai Huan Nian's body. He was tempted by the storage rings on Ai Huan Nian's body, but dared not touch them.

“Return to the Holy Spirit.”

?…………?

The competition lasted for nearly ten days. As the rankings were determined, only fifteen sects remained to compete for a final ranking to allocate resources.

The newly established Supreme Temple, to everyone's surprise, squeezed into the ranks of these fifteen sects, even before Yu Chuan and Yan Xi had taken the stage.

Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu only showed up briefly during the second event, and never went again after that, mainly because they weren't interested in it.

This kind of minor skirmish is enough to see once or twice.

Watching this kind of game here is less worthwhile than going sightseeing.

Knowing that today was the ranking match, I came to the competition venue again.

Today is the last match of the disciples' competition; tomorrow will be the stage for the sect leaders.

Although they don't need to compete like this, they all have to reveal their cultivation level for ranking.

If someone says that those with higher cultivation levels can't necessarily defeat those with lower cultivation levels, then I can only tell you, if you're not convinced, go and fight them yourself.

However, no one is foolish enough to challenge someone with higher cultivation. One wrong move and you could end up in a dark place, or even cause your sect to drop in the rankings.

The Fu family barely made it into the ranking competition, but they also lost two elite disciples in the process.

Fu Jie and Fu Heng both hoped to avoid facing the Supreme Temple for the time being, because the Supreme Temple had entered the ranking matches undefeated, and whoever faced them would be unlucky.

The Supreme God Temple was drawn by Yun Zhongtian on stage. When he saw the words on it, his disappointment was immediately apparent: "Qingcheng Sect".

The disciples of Qingcheng Sect immediately cried out in despair; no one present wanted to face the Supreme Divine Palace.

Even the Kongdingyun Sect lost to them, let alone them!

Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief; at least they wouldn't fall out of the top ten.

Fu Zhen, sitting next to Fu Heng, stared at Yu Chuan with adoration in her eyes. But when she saw Yan Xi next to him, her smile vanished.

A few days ago, she finally managed to get in front of her, hoping to get to know her, but she refused in front of everyone.

Not only did it make her lose face, but she also got a scolding.

Later, when people tried to approach the Supreme Temple, they found that they all seemed to be wary of her, acting as if they didn't see her, or even driving her away.

She was furious just thinking about it, but her mother gave her an idea that would definitely win him over.

Fu Zhen smiled foolishly again as she thought about it.

Yu Chuan couldn't help but shudder at the sight, then tugged at Shu Jianyue, gesturing for her to look at that infatuated woman.

Shu Jianyue followed her gaze and raised an eyebrow. "You didn't like it?"

"Mom, do you even know how old your son is?" Yu Chuan rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Yan Xi glanced at her and said, "Mother, she tried to get close to me before, but she was too calculating, so I ignored her and even had my disciples keep an eye on her."

"It seems the traitors haven't given up yet."

Sky came closer and said, "I did some research. Her mother is Cheng Lin, a disciple of Gu Pingsheng. She used to live on Qionglai Peak and was known as Fairy Cheng Lin."

Later, she married Fu Chen, the third son of the Fu family, and had only one daughter, named Fu Zhen.

Shu Jianyue frowned as she looked at Fu Zhen and said, "Why haven't I heard Gu Pingsheng mention this disciple before?"

Sky scoffed, "What else could it be? He didn't do anything good. This Third Master Fu was tricked by Cheng Lin. Gu Pingsheng didn't say he would expel her from the sect, but she hasn't gone back since she got married."
