Anger had begun to spread in Wang Liang's heart. Before Qi Shenglong's figure was about to appear, he had already started fighting with Tianxiao, and neither of them would give in.

Those people in the distance all seemed to be watching a show.

However, one person had already begun to frown.

Wang Liang was his subordinate, and Tian Xiao dared to fight against his subordinate. Wasn't that disrespecting him?

The head of the personnel department standing in the crowd was actually a young man even younger than Wang Liang. He was standing with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a group of subordinates, and was about to step out.

However, another person stopped him.

"Master Lian, don't make a move yet."

"What's the meaning?"

Lian Shang asked in a cold tone.

He whispered to his side, "Look over there!"

Qi Shenglong and Lin Ye had already appeared.

When Lian Shang saw the two of them, he paused and suddenly said in a gloomy tone, "Lin Ye is the direct disciple of the sect leader and a hot candidate for the next sect leader. He is my direct competitor."

"Could they be here to protect Tianxiao?"

Lian Shang's face had turned completely gloomy.

If that's the case, then it's understandable that Tianxiao dared to take action against the personnel elders under his command.

Isn't this just deliberately slapping him in the face?

However, he still couldn't be sure whether Tianxiao was one of Lin Ye's subordinates; he needed to make a judgment.

And most importantly, the sect leader Qi Shenglong has appeared. Not to mention that Qi Shenglong will step down within a year and become an ordinary eighth-level elder.

But in any case, he is still the sect leader now.

He holds absolute authority within the sect, and other successors, as well as the factions behind them, dare not easily clash with Qi Shenglong.

"Luckily you stopped me."

Lian Shang slowly spoke to the others around him.

The others nodded in agreement, one of them sneering, "The hall master doesn't need to be angry. After all, he's just a Tianxiao. He got lucky and picked up a Heavenly Dao Core. Even if he's sided with Lin Ye, his foundation is unstable."

"We can eliminate him at any time."

"But Wang Liang being beaten is ultimately a loss of face for us."

Lian Shang still couldn't swallow this insult.

"Let's see what the sect leader's attitude is first."

The group of people around him were not only his trusted subordinates but also his strategists. Competing for the position of sect leader was crucial to him.

He also needs to advance to the seventh rank within a year.

This is of utmost importance!

On the other side, after Qi Shenglong arrived, he stopped Tianxiao and Wang Liang, who were about to continue fighting. He said with a smile, "I can understand that you young people are hot-tempered, but these are turbulent times. It's not good for the sect's own people to fight to the death, is it?"

Wang Liang looked aggrieved.

However, he didn't dare to go against Qi Shenglong.

He explained repeatedly, "Sect Master, it was Tianxiao's men who killed my man. He had only just been promoted to elder, yet he dared to be so arrogant. I'm afraid he'll break the sect's rules next!"

"You killed your man? What happened?"

Qi Shenglong looked curious.

Wang Liang explained, "My men were investigating clues about the Heavenly Dao Records nearby when they accidentally got into a conflict with his men, and he was killed."

"Who did this?"

Qi Shenglong continued to press Wang Liang for answers.

Wang Liang pointed directly at Lin Jinglong.

He sneered, "This guy knew he was in trouble, so he hid behind Elder Tianxiao. But he didn't expect that Elder Tianxiao, who had just been promoted, would be so protective of his own. He didn't listen to any reason and actually attacked me. I am, after all, a personnel elder who works for the sect. I even gave him his identity token myself."

"And he actually turned around and bit back!"

"Now that he can turn around and bite me, Wang Liang, who knows when he might turn around and bite the sect? We absolutely cannot let him live!"

His words resonated with the others present.

Tianxiao is indeed arrogant. However, he is just a third-tier True Monarch. Relying on a Heavenly Dao Core, he dares to be so arrogant. Perhaps he will dare to bite back at them at any time.

After all, Tianxiao was ultimately just a stray dog ​​whose entire family had been wiped out.

Lin Jinglong glanced at Lin Ye, then at Qi Shenglong, somewhat puzzled. The two of them seemed to be in cahoots. So how did Lin Ye plan to resolve this matter?

Quietly, Lin Ye shook his head at Lin Jinglong.

That means he doesn't need to worry.

His master had already made the decision on this matter.

Qi Shenglong asked Lin Jinglong, "What happened before? That was just Wang Liang's side of the story. I can give you a chance to explain."

Lin Jinglong said helplessly, "The actual situation is not as he said. Wang Liang was jealous of Elder Tianxiao's promotion and felt that he could no longer be superior to him. He was unhappy, so he sent his subordinates to teach me a lesson."

"These were all said by Wang Liang's men."

"Presumably, apart from those who have already been killed, the remaining members of the Wanling Temple are also aware of the situation. I think they wouldn't dare to lie to the sect leader."

Lin Jinglong spoke the truth directly.

"As for killing them, it was naturally because they wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill them."

Lin Jinglong's words caused Wang Liang's expression to change drastically.

The expressions on the other people's faces also became quite interesting.

Did you reluctantly kill someone?

Qi Shenglong looked at Lin Jinglong in surprise, then smiled and nodded, saying, "If things are really as you say, then this is Wang Liang's fault."
