"Elder, what should we do? Our pursuit of Gu Jian has been exposed. The Sect Master knows!"

It is hundreds of miles away from the Misty Mountains.

The two elders beside Wang Deshan spoke to him.

They looked very worried.

Regardless of whether Gu Jian has been expelled from the sect or not, he was once Ye Qingcheng's disciple.

Judging from the tone and attitude of Sect Leader Ye Qingcheng at this moment, it is clear that she still cares about Gu Jian.

Wang Deshan's face was gloomy, clearly showing his great fear of Ye Qingcheng, who was the sect leader. But then he gritted his teeth and said, "So what if we're exposed? Gu Jian killed my grandson first!"

"Besides, Gu Jian is no longer a member of the Misty Sect."

"Elder, how should we respond to the Sect Master now?"

"Watch me!"

Wang Deshan gritted his teeth, grabbed his identity token, and replied to Ye Qingcheng in the sect's group chat.

Sect Group —

"Elder Wang Deshan of Zhantian Peak: Sect Master, Gu Jian killed my grandson first. I am avenging my grandson! I also hope that Sect Master will uphold justice for me!"

After speaking, Wang Deshan also sent the contents of the audio-visual jade slip that the steward of Zhantian Sect had previously sent him to the sect group.

A moment later, tens of thousands of people in the entire Misty Sect witnessed Gu Jian whipping Wang Dongzhi to death.

What?!

The sect's group chat exploded once again!

Everyone was stunned.

"This is Senior Brother Gu Jian! How could he be so cruel as to whip the young peak master of Zhan Tian Peak to death!"

"Senior Brother has gone too far. He wasn't like this before. Is this his true nature?"

"Could it be that Senior Brother has suffered a qi deviation?!"

"You tell me, Senior Brother killed the young peak master of Zhantian Peak. Doesn't that count as harming a fellow disciple?"

"Judging from the current situation, it is indeed harming fellow disciples! But I heard that Senior Brother has already been expelled from the sect, so it doesn't count. However, the consequences are severe either way. The former, harming fellow disciples, will be severely punished, and the latter, killing someone from my Misty Sect, will be pursued to the very end!"

"That's right, now it all depends on the sect leader's attitude..."

"..."

Sect Master Ye Qingcheng's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Holding the identity token in his hand, and looking at the scene displayed on the token, his body trembled slightly.

She clearly hadn't expected this to happen, and was once again somewhat bewildered, "How could this be? How could Jian'er do such a thing?"

Feng Yantong also saw the message in the sect's group chat.

She frowned slightly, and then heard Ye Qingcheng's words.

Feng Yantong looked at Ye Qingcheng, then sneered, and said, "Junior sister, no wonder Jian'er left you. You really don't trust Jian'er?"

Ye Qingcheng was taken aback and said, "But..."

Feng Yantong sneered and said, "No buts. I haven't had much contact with the young peak master of Zhantian Peak. But I've heard a bit about his character. I believe in Jian'er. Even if Jian'er really killed someone, there must have been a reason."

Ye Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat.

Did I misunderstand Jian'er?

Feng Yantong glanced at the messages in the sect group chat and the contents from the audio-visual jade slip, and said, "I know where that place is. I'll go and see for myself now."

"Furthermore, don't jump to conclusions before the matter is fully investigated. Also, they are currently hunting Jian'er. If you still want to bring Jian'er back, order them to stop hunting immediately!"

"knew."

Hearing Feng Yantong's words, Ye Qingcheng felt extremely guilty again.

As Gu Jian's senior martial brother, Feng Yantong trusted Gu Jian so much.

As her master, she had just felt a slight wavering.

If Gu Jian's killing of Wang Dong, the young peak master of Zhantian Peak, was not without reason.

Her wavering just now, didn't it chill Gu Jian's heart again?

Ye Qingcheng felt a pang of regret, which eventually turned into anger.

A wisp of spiritual energy merged into her identity token.

Ye Qingcheng's angry voice echoed throughout the sect leader group.

"Sect Master Ye Qingcheng: Wang Deshan, don't talk nonsense to me. I only have one sentence: If you hurt even a hair on my sword, I will make sure your soul is shattered!"

"Furthermore, Gu Jian is my personally taught eldest disciple, and I have never expelled him from the sect. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and anyone who dares to speak nonsense again will be punished!"

The resolute voice echoed in the sect's chat group, shaking everyone's hearts.

Everyone knew that the sect leader was furious.

At times like these, disobeying the sect leader's orders will have dire consequences.

"Elder, what do we do now?!"

Where Wang Deshan was, the two elders of Zhantian Peak were directly intimidated by Ye Qingcheng.

They looked unwell.

"Elder, perhaps we should just let it go. The Sect Master has already spoken. If we continue this pursuit, the Sect Master will surely punish us..."

Seeing the two men's fearful expressions, Wang Deshan grinned maliciously.

"Ye Qingcheng, how wonderful. Back then, before she became the sect leader, she was always very polite to me. Now that she's grown up, she dares to say such things to me!"

After saying that, he turned to the two elder deacons beside him and said, "Punishment? So what?"

"Continue the pursuit of Gu Jian. If Ye Qingcheng investigates, I will bear all the responsibility myself!"

"If you can kill Gu Jian, I will give each of you a Life-Saving Pill!"

The Pill of Life and Death!

Upon hearing about the Life and Death Pill, the two elders trembled.

The Life and Death Pill, once taken, allows one to immediately break through to the Life and Death Profound Realm.

Of course, improving one's cultivation level is one aspect.

For them, the greatest temptation is that once their cultivation reaches the Life and Death Profound Realm, their lifespan will also increase accordingly.

Both of them had been stuck at the ninth level of the Destiny Wheel for many years, and their lifespans were coming to an end. If they did not break through soon, they would not have many years left to live.

People die for wealth, birds die for food.

After hesitating for a moment, the two made a decision.

Without hesitation, they followed Elder Wang Deshan and headed towards the direction where Liu Gaoyang had fallen.

As Ye Qingcheng put away her identity token, her heart ached again.

Just now, she had used her divine sense to search through the sect's main group and various smaller groups, but she couldn't find Gu Jian anywhere.

Gu Jian not only left, but he also completely disappeared from all the groups related to their Misty Sect.

Just how determined is he?

Is he really going to leave and not come back?

"We will definitely find Jian'er."

Ye Qingcheng made up her mind.

Then, she flew up with Feng Yantong.
