When news of Zhang Haoran's death reached the inner sect, Xia Muge naturally became the first suspect.
The reason is simple: although Xia Muge has the status of a Holy Son, he is not yet a Holy Son.
However, his doubts were quickly dispelled.
This time, Zhang Haoran's activities were thoroughly investigated, and Xia Muge and Zhang Haoran had never had any contact. Moreover, it was confirmed that Zhang Haoran had indeed become addicted to alcohol and then gambled on his own.
Ding Hui naturally wanted to get an explanation from the casino for this.
With the power of the Divine Will Sect, destroying a casino would be a simple matter.
However, if people in the Holy Land could act with such impunity, then ordinary people would have no way to live or do business. Therefore, people in the Holy Land naturally need to be more cautious in their actions.
Even the most domineering Nine Suns Holy Land still believes in reason.
A holy site that doesn't follow reason can never truly become a holy site.
Of course, most importantly, Zhang Haoran is not very valuable now. If Xia Muge dies, then it is possible that the Divine Will Sect will go crazy.
Ding Hui's decision to secretly suppress the casino was naturally partly motivated by a desire to gloss over this scandal.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t do anything.
Ding Hui easily discovered that Guo Yang was behind this whole thing.
He immediately wanted to kill Guo Yang, but Guo Yang had already escaped from the Divine Will Sect when Zhang Haoran died.
This insignificant person was initially ignored by almost everyone.
So they simply fled.
Therefore, when Ding Hui ordered the execution of Guo Yang, the inner sect members learned that Zhang Haoran's death was related to Guo Yang.
Many inner disciples were surprised, not expecting this seemingly insignificant person to give them such a pleasant surprise.
The inner disciples didn't feel anything about Zhang Haoran's death, but since Ding Hui's reward was generous enough, they would naturally go looking for Guo Yang.
Anyway, Guo Yang is only at the Martial Master level.
In theory, it is indeed easy to find Guo Yang.
However, Guo Yang still possessed some luck.
Although Xia Muge had reduced his luck by more than two-thirds, his luck was still far greater than that of ordinary people.
After breaking away from Zhang Haoran, Guo Yang knew he could no longer stay in the territory of the Divine Will Sect, so he headed towards Zhongzhou.
The Yunhuan Sect of Zhongzhou is a behemoth no less powerful than the Divine Will Sect.
It must be admitted that Guo Yang's protagonist aura is still intact.
The disciples of the Divine Will Sect immediately went to several cities controlled by the Divine Will Sect to search for Guo Yang's location.
However, Guo Yang was already in someone else's carriage.
And this carriage belonged to Leng Ruoxi, the Holy Maiden of Yunhuan in Zhongzhou.
Leng Ruoxi originally came here to discuss cultivation techniques with Xia Muge. However, before she even reached the Divine Intent Sect, she learned of the sect's demise.
Even the inner disciples of the Divine Will Sect suspected that Xia Muge was responsible, so Leng Ruoxi, who was unaware of the cause and effect, would naturally think so as well.
She suddenly realized that although Xia Muge was talented, he was intolerant of others.
So he left.
She saw Guo Yang on the road, who was in a hurry to escape, so she took him with her.
If Xia Muge knew, she would definitely exclaim that the male lead is too lucky.
After all, Leng Ruoxi's arrival was just too coincidental.
Guo Yang was taken away by Leng Ruoxi. The inner disciples of the Divine Intent Sect dared not inspect Leng Ruoxi's vehicle, so Guo Yang simply vanished without a trace.
For the disciples of the Divine Will Sect, this was undoubtedly like a slap in the face, stinging with pain.
However, they were at a loss for what to do at that moment.
...
"We've arrived in Zhongzhou."
Leng Ruoxi looked at Guo Yang sitting in the car, her eyes calm and still, but she was a little puzzled.
She's strange.
She wasn't a kind person, so why did she suddenly flee from the Divine Will Sect with someone?
From a purely profit-driven perspective, bringing Guo Yang to the Divine Will Sect would actually yield the greatest benefit, wouldn't it?
However, she did not do so.
Even when she arrived in Zhongzhou, she felt a pang of reluctance.
Leng Ruoxi was naturally unaware that in the original story, she loved Guo Yang but could not have him. Although the current plot has deviated significantly, some of the underlying logic remains unchanged.
Guo Yang was overjoyed and thanked Leng Ruoxi: "Thank you, Holy Maiden, for saving my life. I, Guo Yang, have no way to repay you but to serve you like a slave."
He's taking advantage of the situation, trying to stay in the Yunhuan Sect this way.
However, Leng Ruoxi said indifferently, "No need, it was just something I had casually picked up."
For her, saving Guo Yang was already an abnormal thing.
If Guo Yang were to enter the Yunhuan Sect, wouldn't she, as the Holy Maiden, be easily misunderstood?
Moreover, Leng Ruoxi has many suitors, and they are hostile to each other.
If others knew she treated an ordinary person differently, that person would definitely be targeted. She didn't want her reputation to be damaged because of Guo Yang.
Ultimately, many cultivators are inherently somewhat selfish.
Of course, at this time, Leng Ruoxi was so selfish and self-serving, but in Guo Yang's eyes, she was a fairy.
He pleaded with Leng Ruoxi, "Holy Maiden, please take me in, otherwise I will be forced to my death."
Leng Ruoxi wanted to refuse, but somehow she agreed.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but if you come to Yunhuan Sect, you can only be an inner disciple."
...
At this time, Xia Muge naturally had no idea that Guo Yang had switched allegiance to another sect.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't really care.
At this moment, Ding Hui had already announced to everyone that he had become the new Holy Son.
Many people cheered, while others secretly envied.
These jealous people are basically all geniuses themselves.
However, his talent was somewhat inferior to Xia Muge's, and even if he wanted to do something underhanded, he didn't have the guts.
Xia Muge could even handle a Spirit Venerable, so killing him would require a Spirit Emperor. However, if a Spirit Emperor were someone they could easily summon, they wouldn't be just inner disciples.
So these people can only envy, but there's nothing they can do about it.
Xia Muge was very satisfied with this.
Although he did not value this holy site, and after becoming a holy son, many people were watching his every word and action.
But ultimately, his status was elevated.
After Xia Muge became a Holy Son, he naturally had to cultivate even more diligently.
He lived a secluded life, and apart from Qin Wanning and a few elders, almost no one could see him.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Divine Will Sect had more resources.
It turned out that Xia Muge had found several places where opportunities were located based on the plot, so he simply took them all, keeping most of them for himself and leaving some for the Divine Will Sect.
This part directly made everyone in the Divine Will Sect satisfied with Xia Muge.
