Chapter 155 'God One' Departure
When Cen Feng arrived at the mountain gate, he saw a huge warship hovering in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"So handsome!"
After some modifications, the shape of the ship looked much more imposing and powerful. Yu Qianling, who had been waiting impatiently, said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get on, we have to go!"
"Here I am!"
Ming Cang looked at his spirited disciples, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's set off!"
...
Inside the main hall of the Tianfeng Sect.
Fu Zhenghan stared at the Grand Elder on the ground, his eyes closed and his face deathly pale, clearly having been dead for some time. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What exactly happened?!"
The other elders looked grave and said, "It was discovered by the disciples this morning; the specific circumstances are still under investigation..."
Fu Zhenghan frowned and asked, "Didn't any of you notice anything unusual last night?"
"No."
"The fact that he could kill the Grand Elder without alerting us shows just how terrifying that thief's cultivation is!"
"That's right, even with the Grand Elder's cultivation level, he couldn't even escape from a Nascent Soul cultivator..."
"We investigated and it seems to be the work of those demonic and evil cultivators... but they've been behaving themselves for a long time, so why would they suddenly launch an attack?"
Fu Zhenghan rubbed his throbbing forehead and roared, "Investigate! Find out the whole story!"
"yes!"
at this time.
The disciples standing outside the hall, waiting to depart, gathered in twos and threes and began to whisper among themselves.
"The Grand Elder is dead? Unbelievable..."
"Yes, he was giving me pointers last night... how could he suddenly disappear?"
"If I find out who it is, I'll skin him alive!"
Not far away, Bai Ruoqian leaned against a stone pillar with her arms crossed, watching the indignant crowd, a sneer curling at the corner of her lips, "A bunch of useless trash who only know how to talk big..."
Heart Soul Guide: "This Grand Elder's cultivation is quite good. Once I completely refine him, my strength will definitely increase significantly."
"I'm glad you're satisfied."
A sinister glint appeared in Bai Ruoqian's eyes as she coldly said, "This old bastard has always been against me; he should have died long ago!"
Not only did he embarrass her time and time again, but he even suggested to Fu Zhenghan that he take on new personal disciples... How could she let him live?!
Heart Soul Guide: "Alright. You've already broken through to the Core Formation stage, making you the most outstanding disciple in the sect. No one can shake your position now. You just need to make contributions to the sect and increase its prestige, and in the future, this sect will be under your control."
"Junior Sister!" Su Yuyuan ran towards her at this moment. "Master has come out. We must set off."
"Alright." Bai Ruoqian and Su Yuyuan flew onto the flying boat. Seeing Fu Zhenghan's solemn expression, they stepped forward and asked, "Master, have you found the murderer who killed the Grand Elder?"
"Not yet." Fu Zhenghan looked at her and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Last night...did you see the Grand Elder?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian's heart tightened. "I have seen him before. When I passed by the corridor, I saw the Grand Elder seemingly instructing his disciples. I only glanced at him briefly before leaving."
"Oh, I see..."
She carefully observed Fu Zhenghan's expression and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just asking. You can go back to your cabin and rest."
"Yes, disciple takes his leave."
Fu Zhenghan watched Bai Ruoqian's departing figure, standing on the moving flying boat, recalling his last conversation with the Grand Elder the previous night—
"Sect Leader, isn't it too hasty to appoint her as the Young Sect Leader?"
"Qian'er, she is exceptionally talented and is the most suitable candidate."
"Sect Leader, please forgive my bluntness, but although she has exceptional talent in cultivation, her character is questionable. You didn't see how she bullied her fellow disciples, her arrogant and haughty manner... How can such a person be fit to be the leader of a sect in the future!"
Fu Zhenghan frowned for a moment and said, "She is still young and will surely change in the future. Elder, you don't need to worry too much about this."
"Well, how about we hold a sect meeting after the final competition to discuss and decide?"
"All right."
Fu Zhenghan poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Please sit down and have a cup of tea first. I just wanted to discuss this matter with you, but I didn't expect you to be so opposed."
The elder drank his tea and sighed, "It's not that I'm prejudiced against her, but her behavior these days is quite disappointing."
Fu Zhenghan held his teacup, lowered his eyes, and remained silent. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Qian'er, she has indeed changed a lot recently... but her essence should not be bad. Let's give her some more time to grow."
"That's natural." The First Elder put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and sighed.
"Don't blame me for repeating myself, but judging from his performance in the preliminary competitions, whether it's his talent for cultivation or his temperament, that kid Ye Luo is the best choice. Why did we let him leave the sect in the first place?!"
“He…” Fu Zhenghan looked regretful and didn’t continue. After a long while, he said, “It’s no use saying more now. Anyway, he can’t come back.”
"Or... why don't you take on some more disciples and train them? Then you can select a suitable candidate from among them and appoint them as the young sect leader."
Fu Zhenghan nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I'll think about it."
"It's late, so I'll head back to my cave now."
"Okay, sure."
...
Fu Zhenghan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the horizon, and sighed, "Rest in peace. I will definitely find the murderer and avenge you!"
The Star Abyss Secret Realm is located on the border of the Eastern Region. The group from Peach Blossom Valley traveled along the "Heavenly God No. 1," attracting the attention of many.
Some people are envious.
Some people are curious.
It was mostly jealousy.
Ming Cang naturally saw the expressions on these people's faces and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, it was only Peach Blossom Valley that could envy others. How could they have achieved what they have today?
"These brats have finally done their part for their teacher..."
"Master, when will we arrive?" Ye Luo asked as she came out, looking as if she had just woken up.
Ming Cang reached out and stroked his hair, then smiled and said, "It's about another day's journey. You should take the time to rest. Once we enter the secret realm, we'll inevitably face a series of tough battles."
"Ye Luo!" At this moment, a deep male voice came from not far away.
Ye Luo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a warship flying in from the side, with Shi Li standing on the edge of the ship waving at him.
Ye Luo: "Hey, what a coincidence!"
Shi Li: "I didn't expect it to really be you!"
The two warships sailed side by side. Shi Li jumped onto the Peach Blossom Valley warship, looked it over for a moment, and then exclaimed in amazement, "Your warships are quite novel. The bow is pointed, and what are all these little holes on the side?"
Ye Luo looked smug and chuckled, "Sect secrets, I can't tell you!"
"What secret could this be? Tell me, bro!"
"Of course it's confidential. We're the only ones in the cultivation world with this information, so we can't just tell you."
Looking at the densely packed disciples standing on the deck of the Battle Sect, Ye Luo asked, "How many people did you send?"
"Not many, maybe a little over 150."
"Not many?" Ye Luo looked embarrassed; there were only six of them from Peach Blossom Valley...
Clearly, they suffered from having too few people.
"Hey, Sect Leader Ming, come over for a drink and a chat?" At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Battle Sect came out, holding a simple wine cup in his hand.
Ming Cang laughed and said, "Then I will accept the offer without being impolite."
