Qingyunzi had just learned that Ling Feng's death was suspicious, and everyone suspected that Daoist Xiang might have done something to wrong Ling Feng, but they hadn't had time to verify it yet...
But I only said it casually, and Xiang Daoren reacted so angrily that Qingyunzi couldn't help but have some doubts...
Master Xiang also realized that he had overreacted. He quickly composed himself and said...
"You brat, how dare you humiliate me like this! Today I will surely kill you..."
"He's getting anxious... Look how anxious he is. It seems I've hit a nerve. You wouldn't actually have gotten your position illegitimate, would you?"
I acted as if I couldn't see Xiang Daoren's killing intent, and continued pointing at him as I spoke...
But in front of the empty sect gate, I was the only one smiling. Everyone else looked tense. There were too many versions circulating about Xiang Daoren becoming the sect leader, but with the support of most people in the sect, he was able to secure his position, and the truth of what happened back then was naturally buried...
"Hmph! The Azure Cloud Sect is the number one sect in the Burial Realm. The succession of the sect leader is well-founded and justified. Don't try to cause trouble here..."
Instead of answering my question directly, Master Xiang evaded the question...
"I heard that the previous sect leader died under mysterious circumstances. Could it be that you killed him?"
How would I know if it was murder? I was just trying to go further down the path of self-destruction...
But Xiang Daoren couldn't take it; I broke his defenses immediately...
Qingyunzi is right here. The previous sect leader was his disciple. If Qingyunzi finds out the truth, a real conflict will erupt between them. His strength is still inferior to Qingyunzi's...
Most importantly, he cultivates the techniques created by Qingyunzi, and he has absolutely no chance of winning against the founder...
"Nonsense! Go to hell!"
Master Xiang couldn't stand my rambling anymore. If this continued, Qingyunzi would probably really start to suspect him, so he decided to kill me. Regardless of what would happen after Tuoba San came out, he just needed to get through this first...
"stop…"
Qingyunzi shouted, blocking Xiang Daoren's attack. Then, he looked at Xiang Daoren with icy eyes; his attitude said it all…
However, Qingyunzi couldn't just kill him directly. After all, he was the leader of a sect, and even if he wanted to kill him, he needed a sufficient reason...
"It's over..."
Such a thought arose in Xiang Daoren's mind; he knew Qing Yunzi already suspected him…
This made him panic inside, but he pretended to be calm and asked...
"What does Ancestor mean by this? Are you going to let such a villain humiliate me? No matter what, I am the leader of a sect. If I am humiliated, it is the same as the Qingyun Sect being humiliated. If we cannot kill the villain who humiliated the Qingyun Sect, how can the Qingyun Sect have any face to stand in the Burial Realm?"
This attempt to shift the blame gave Qingyunzi a headache, but he wasn't afraid of a three-year-old child and naturally wouldn't be rendered speechless by a few words...
So he replied coldly.
"If you kill Tuoba Wudi, it will be an insult to the dignity of the Qingyun Sect. As the head of a sect, how could you disregard your reputation and personally kill a Martial God? Such behavior of bullying the weak is something even demonic cultivators would disdain. If you do it, wouldn't outsiders think that our Qingyun Sect is such a shameless sect?"
These words were undeniably heavy, causing Xiang Daoren to lose his composure...
The two old foxes looked at each other, knowing they couldn't achieve their goals today. They each took a step back, creating distance between themselves…
"Hey! You're chickening out already?"
My voice rang out abruptly, causing both of their expressions to change drastically. The power fluctuations they had just suppressed were once again unleashed…
Both of them really wanted to shut me up for my instigating behavior...
"Ahem... Tuoba Wudi, this is Qingyun Sect territory after all, and you're not one of our Qingyun Sect members..."
Qingyunzi wanted me to back down and stop courting death. If Xiang Daoren was determined to kill me, all I had to do was keep an eye on him and let someone else do it…
"Hmm, that's true..."
Just when everyone thought I was about to give up on my reckless behavior, I continued...
"I don't want to become a sect disciple who has no shame. If the head of a sect is a person who breaks his word, it's hard to imagine how much development such a sect can achieve..."
My words caused their expressions to change once again. Qingyunzi glared at Xiang Daoren with a dark face. This guy was the one who caused all this trouble, and now he can't even clean up his mess...
"Master Xiang, our Qingyun Sect has always kept its promises. Since it's a competition, a loss is a loss. Don't let your fellow disciples laugh at us!"
Qingyunzi's words were very stern, which made Daoist Xiang's face grow even uglier...
Looking at Xiang Taiyan lying there pretending to be dead, I suddenly felt so tired. If it weren't for this nephew, things wouldn't have come to this. He'd thrown away all his pride just to protect him...
But this wasn't the first time he'd cleaned up Xiangtai's messes. He hadn't thought much of it before; kids are kids, it's normal for them to be naughty...
But today he realized that this guy is already quite a child, a grown man, yet he's still so immature, being used as a pawn without even realizing it…
It can only be said that Xiang Tai's death was his own doing, and he deserved to die...
Taking a deep breath, Daoist Xiang calmed himself down. After making up his mind, he turned and left. It was best to avoid seeing what happened next...
After all, it was too humiliating; as the sect leader, he still had some pride…
The moment Xiang Daoren left, a commotion erupted in front of the sect. Even a fool could tell that the sect leader had abandoned his nephew…
"From this day forward, Xiangtai has nothing to do with me anymore..."
The sect leader's voice resounded throughout the entire sect, effectively sentencing Xiang Taiyan to death...
The reason everyone calls him Young Master is because of his relationship with the Sect Master. Without that relationship, he would just be a disciple with slightly better talent...
With his usual arrogant and domineering behavior, he has offended countless people...
Without this protective umbrella, who knows how many people would step on him...
With a whoosh…
Xiang Taiyan stood up, staring at the vanished Xiang Daoren, momentarily speechless...
"Xiang Taiyan, fulfill your bet..."
I chuckled and said, and those words were like a breach in a dam; everyone realized this was the perfect opportunity to kick him while he was down…
Just as everyone started to jeer, I turned my attention to the three martial gods of the Murong family…
Do you think you can escape?
Under my watchful gaze, the three martial gods looked utterly dejected, their spirits instantly wilting...
