After leaving the courtyard, Zhao Tianfu looked at the tightly closed gate and let out a long sigh.
He was a great demon who treated human life like dirt, so how could he have given birth to such a loving and hateful son!
At this moment, an elderly man in white hurried over.
Upon seeing Zhao Tianfu, he said with a grave expression, "Sect Master, something terrible has happened."
Zhao Tianfu frowned and asked, "What is it?"
At this moment, nothing was more troublesome for him than the young master's incompetence.
This is, after all, a matter of great importance to the future of the Four Seas Pavilion for the next few decades. If Zhao Jing remains as indecisive and sentimental as he is today, it will be a devastating blow to the Four Seas Pavilion.
Back when he took the position of Pavilion Master, the Four Seas Pavilion was fighting fiercely with the Sword God Hall for territory. The then Young Hall Master Zhang Tianjian came up with a dirty trick and threatened him with the life of his wife, Zhao Jing's mother.
Zhang Tianjian proposed that as long as he ceded a small piece of territory, it would be a way to teach the Sword God Palace a lesson, since the Sword God Palace had initially been at a disadvantage and many territories had fallen into the hands of the Four Seas Pavilion.
If Zhang Tianjian could acquire a territory at this time, even one of significant importance, his prestige within the Sword God Palace would increase exponentially.
The reason he wanted someone insignificant was because he was afraid Zhao Tianfu would refuse.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhao Tianfu refused, which was decisive and straightforward.
As a result, Zhao Tianjian lost all face and dignity, and under the circumstances, he had no choice but to kill Zhao Jing's mother.
It is said that when the woman he loved died before his eyes, Zhao Tianfu did not even blink, and thus his reputation for being ruthless and cruel spread.
Zhao Tianfu also secured his position as the head of the pavilion.
However, no one knew that this would become a source of inner demons for him.
The white-haired elder said, "I just saw in the ancestral hall that Chisongzi's soul lamp had gone out."
"Destroyed!"
Zhao Tianfu was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Was there any message before the soul lamp went out?"
Generally speaking, if a Saint-level expert were to perish, it would be because they were far superior in strength; otherwise, it would simply mean the death of a being who had already reached their peak.
Moreover, according to his understanding, Chisongzi's escape skills were extremely impressive. Even he could only suppress Chisongzi. If he wanted to perish completely, he would have to make thorough preparations beforehand and at least join forces with two Saint-level experts.
The white-haired old man shook his head and said, "The soul lamp went out suddenly. By the time I realized what was happening, I had already lost all senses. I suppose he perished in that instant."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianfu's expression hardened, and he frowned, saying, "Go, investigate for yourself. Also, before the matter is clarified, no one is allowed to make any rash moves."
For some reason, he had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
The fall of a Saint-level expert is a devastating blow to any power.
The white-haired old man nodded and said, "Alright, but Sect Master..."
At this point, the white-haired old man hesitated. Seeing Zhao Tianfu looking at him, he said, "Chishongming has already left..."
Zhao Tianfu thought for a moment and said, "His brother is dead, so it's understandable that he wants revenge. We'll have someone keep an eye on him, and if that person shows up, we'll deal with him too."
“Solve it all at once…”
The white-haired old man didn't quite understand the meaning of those words.
Zhao Tianfu said, "Chisongzi is dead. Without the suppression of Chisongming, his heart will probably not be here anymore. Since he cannot be used by me, then he will only face death."
"You are in full charge of this matter."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
The white-haired old man smiled and stroked his beard before following him.
...
Wang Family Martial Arts School
The battle has reached a fever pitch.
Mo Yuntian waved his hand, and a powerful suction force surged out from his palm. After many afterimages flashed by, a figure covered in blood appeared in front of him.
When Wang Tianquan saw the man clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he roared hoarsely, "Mo Yuntian, how dare you!"
Mo Yuntian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Let's see if I dare."
He gently cupped his hands together.
The biting cold approached Wang Qing'er. Under the threat of death, Wang Qing'er slowly opened her eyes. After realizing her situation, she felt a wave of darkness wash over her.
Her slender figure was now covered in bloodstains, making it impossible to recognize her original appearance.
The bloodstains were mixed with dirt, making it look quite messy.
"ah!"
Wang Tianquan's heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes slowly darkened, as if a fire had been ignited.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled.
At that moment, the aura emanating from his body increased terrifyingly, exponentially.
Mo Yuntian was taken aback.
After a while, he finally realized what was happening and sneered, "You actually burned your own spiritual fire..."
Spiritual fire is the flame produced by the burning of the soul. Generally speaking, burning spiritual fire is no different from suicide, but unlike suicide, spiritual fire generates powerful forces that transcend class boundaries when it burns.
The burning of the spiritual fire signifies the start of life's countdown.
Especially for powerful saints, when they burn their spiritual fire, they can even generate the power of a saint king, which is terrifying.
Because saints and powerful beings are often one in a million, reaching this level is extremely difficult, and they generally do not easily ignite their spiritual fire.
It is precisely because of this factor that, unless the martial artist is far stronger than a saint, they will certainly not go for the kill.
