Wei Shouyuan, Shi Shuhong, Tan Tai Mingyue and Leng Jing are the four people who can become the elders of Zhenyang Sect and the masters of a peak. Naturally, they are not so easy to fool.
Zheng Shengmo was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only half a step away from becoming a Divine Being. He was also a cautious person, so it was impossible for a seventh-grade demon beast to kill him so easily.
The four of them had doubts about Zheng Shengmo's death. As for the ugly things Zheng Shengmo had done, Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong didn't care at all because they were the same kind of people.
Tan Tai Ming Yue doesn't like Zheng Sheng Mo, but he is her fellow disciple after all, so she still has to find out the truth.
Leng Jing is in charge of the sect's punishments. He must find out whether the sudden death of an elder is related to infighting among fellow sect members and whether the sect rules need to be used to punish the person.
At this moment, facing the four people's scrutiny, Jianyue remained calm and said calmly:
"Zheng Shengmo raped Lin Qingchou, a disciple of Danxia Peak. He was careless and was ambushed by the Red Flame Fox. You all know how powerful and overbearing Lihuo is. Once injured by Lihuo, one's cultivation will be unable to be displayed."
"Zheng Shengmo was a teacher and his behavior was shameful. He deserves death."
Jianyue's voice was cold and his words were powerful. The four of them looked at each other but were speechless.
According to what she said, Zheng Shengmo died in a woman's belly, which was indeed embarrassing, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
Tantai Mingyue coughed lightly and asked Jianyue, "Xiyue, the matter of Lihuo is very serious. Are you sure it is the Lihuo of the Red Flame Fox?"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the other three people changed slightly.
They naturally knew what Tan Tai Ming Yue meant by this.
There is only one person in the world who can use Lihuo. If the one who killed Zheng Shengmo was not the Lihuo of the Red Flame Fox, then it could only be that person.
Wei Shouyuan's face turned pale, and his body seemed to tremble. He whispered:
"Isn't that woman dead? What do you mean by that, Junior Sister Tantai?"
Shi Shuhong chuckled: "Brother Wei's Supreme Heart-Slaying Sword has reached the realm of profound prowess. There are few rivals in the world. I didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying moment."
Wei Shouyuan sneered: "Brother Shi's physical cultivation has reached the pinnacle, no one in the world can challenge him, but he couldn't even stand a single encounter with that person, and yet he can still talk freely at this moment. I have to admit that he is inferior to me in terms of mental cultivation."
"What did you say?!" Shi Shuhong's face changed and spiritual energy surged in his body.
"Brother Shi can't beat a junior female cultivator, but he dares to attack his fellow disciples. If that's the case, I'll accompany you!"
Wei Shouyuan was calm and fearless, and powerful spiritual power surged out.
Tan Tai Ming Yue quickly stood up and walked between the two men, persuading them, "Brother Shi, Brother Wei, that witch's talent is rare in the world. Even Sheng Tang Lian, the founder of the Demon Sect five hundred years ago, is probably inferior to her. Why is it strange that we lost to her? The most important thing is that we don't plant demons in our hearts."
Leng Jing lowered his head, his face gloomy, as if he was also reminded of an unbearable memory.
At the beginning, the three major sects surrounded and suppressed the Qinglian Sect - it was called an encirclement, but it was actually a sneak attack.
The three major sects do have a large number of people, but when it comes to peak combat power, the Qinglian Sect only has a few elders, as well as the sect leader Nalan Yan and the saint Xia Qinglian.
But just Nalan Yan and Xia Qinglian are enough to defeat more than ten elders from the three major sects.
It was only after Zhenyang Sect's leader Chen Qingmo used a trick to lure the master and disciple away from Qinglian Mountain that the three major sects dared to attack the mountain with confidence.
After slaughtering all the people in Qinglian Mountain, the three major sects used the lives of countless disciples to deplete the spiritual power of Nalan Yan and Xia Qinglian.
After the two had consumed a large amount of spiritual energy, the leaders and elders of the three major sects took action together and surrounded the two in Tianlu Mountain in Beihuang.
To be on the safe side, they also brought all their disciples to set up a large formation outside Tianlu Mountain to restrict Xia Qinglian's Xuanbing Lihuo Gong.
But when they actually took action, they realized that even with all the preparations they had made, they still underestimated the witch Xia Qinglian.
At that time, three sect leaders and seven elders besieged Nalan Yan, while the remaining elders surrounded and killed Xia Qinglian.
But as soon as they started fighting, Xia Qinglian killed two of them in seconds, and the rest of the people were all frightened.
If Chen Qingmo had not come to the rescue in time, everyone else would have died at her hands.
Even so, the price paid was that Chen Qingmo, Ye Xiyue, Su Hongling and several elders were seriously injured.
Wei Shouyuan, Shi Shuhong and Leng Jing were in the team responsible for besieging and killing Xia Qinglian at that time.
They witnessed with their own eyes two elders of the Feiyun Sect who had the same cultivation level as themselves, one being frozen to death by the black ice and the other being burned to ashes by the fire.
Especially the Li Fire, which was as unstoppable as heavenly fire.
The three of them used all their magic weapons to resist, but they were all instantly burned to ashes by the fire. At that moment, they realized for the first time that they were so close to death.
From then on, Xia Qinglian's Lihuo became a nightmare in their hearts.
Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong have the heaviest inner demons, which has caused their cultivation to be stuck at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and they are unable to even reach the ninth level.
So when they heard that Zheng Shengmo had died in Lihuo, they couldn't help but feel suspicious and afraid that the devilish woman would appear again.
Jianyue looked at the faces of several people and felt amused. If I told you that Xia Qinglian was in Zhenyang Mountain right now, I'm afraid you would be scared to death, right?
Her face remained calm as she said calmly, "Hundreds of disciples from Zhenyang Sect and countless cultivators from Zhenlian City have fought with the Red Flame Fox. The Fire of Separation was emitted by the Red Flame Fox. What doubts do you still have?"
Seeing that she was so sure, Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan both breathed a sigh of relief. Leng Jing lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Tan Tai Ming Yue sighed secretly, and said in a calm and gentle voice: "In this case, there is no doubt that Zheng Shengmo is dead. What he did was a disgrace to the sect. His tomb cannot be placed in Zhenyang Mountain. What do you think?"
The four of them all agreed. Tan Tai Ming Yue paused and said in a serious voice:
"Yesterday, I received a letter from the Immortal God, asking us to send someone to discuss matters concerning the Immortal God Ceremony."
The Feixian Ceremony is held every twenty years and is a grand event for cultivators across the entire Hongzhou Continent.
Those who win the top three places are eligible to go to Feixian Peak and enter Feixian Pavilion. They can browse the martial arts books inside at will and can also choose a treasure.
Feixian Peak is located at the southernmost part of Hongzhou Continent and is the most mysterious place in the entire continent.
Feixian Peak is rich in spiritual energy. For thousands of years, all the powerful people have chosen to transcend tribulations and ascend to heaven here.
When they ascended to heaven, they left their skills and treasures in Feixian Pavilion.
After thousands of years of accumulation, there are countless immortal skills and treasures in Feixian Pavilion, which is the place that all cultivators dream of.
However, cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing Stage were unable to approach Feixian Peak, and many powerful cultivators wanted to enter but were unable to do so.
The Feixian Ceremony is the only opportunity for cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing Stage to enter the Feixian Pavilion.
The Feixian Ceremony is held every twenty years and has been held dozens of times. It has gradually become a grand event for all cultivators in Hongzhou Continent.
However, there is a rule in the Feixian Ceremony that only cultivators under the age of 40 are allowed to participate.
For the big sects, this event is undoubtedly a good opportunity to showcase their strength and enhance their reputation.
As for the Zhenyang Sect now, Zheng Shengmo’s scandal has spread throughout the world, and the sect’s reputation has plummeted to freezing point.
The position of the leader of the righteous path is in jeopardy, and the Feixian Ceremony is an opportunity to restore his reputation.
