Li Jianping, you deserve to die!

The corpse of a Sect Master hanging in the Sect square would inevitably cause a massive uproar if word got out.

Especially since this man was the Sect Master of the number one Sect in the world.

The two instinctively believed that some upheaval had occurred within the Three Saints Sect.

After all, they only now recalled that when they ascended the Three Saints Sect mountain, they hadn't encountered a single mountain-guarding Disciple, and the Sect Protecting Grand Array even had a gap in it.

Jiang Wang stared at the corpse for a long while, and after confirming it was indeed Li Jianping's body, he immediately turned to look at Liu Yueru.

The Three Saints Sect and Jixia Academy occupied the first and second positions of the Righteous Path. Since Li Jianping, the first, was already dead, wouldn't it be quite nice for Liu Yueru to go down and accompany him?

At this distance and position, it was the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack.

Once successful, the Righteous Path would lose two major generals consecutively. Wouldn't their Demonic Path then be able to march south and incorporate those territories occupied by the Righteous Path into their own domain?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wang began to secretly accumulate his Qi.

However, at that moment, a group of Three Saints Sect Cultivators dressed in Elder robes suddenly emerged.

Liu Yong, the Elder guarding the treasury, recognized her at a glance and called out from a distance.

"Is that not Palace Master Liu? Since you've arrived, why didn't you inform us in advance?"

With so many people present, Jiang Wang instantly abandoned his thoughts of ambushing Liu Yueru.

Among this group of Elders, there were plenty at the Peak Star Realm. Even if Liu Yueru were certain to die after he struck, he would find it difficult to escape the Three Saints Sect's encirclement.

He naturally wouldn't engage in such an unprofitable trade of a life for a life.

"Elder Liu? What on earth is going on? Why is Sect Master Li's corpse hanging here... Has some upheaval occurred within the Three Saints Sect?"

Hearing Liu Yueru's words, the Elders looked somewhat embarrassed.

After all, it was truly difficult to speak of how their own Sect Master had targeted their own Disciple, only to be struck dead by a single palm from the Sect's Old Ancestor.

As for why Li Jianping's corpse was hanging here, that was entirely Qu Xiangyang's idea.

"Such a villain should be exposed here for seven days and seven nights as a warning to others!" Those were Qu Xiangyang's exact words.

Everyone could guess the reason: it was to curry favor with Su Ming.

Considering that even their own Old Ancestor treated Su Ming this way, they, as Elders, really couldn't say much.

After all, upon later investigation, the deeds Li Jianping had committed in secret as Sect Master were indeed despicable.

What kind of Sect raises Death Soldiers for no reason?

Nowadays, Disciples are harder to find with each generation, yet you, Li Jianping, insisted on stuffing in a bunch of Death Soldiers. It's simply absurd!

Even if those Death Soldiers were allocated Cultivation resources, wouldn't they just end up back in Li Jianping's pocket after a round?

Originally, some Elders who were close to Li Jianping felt it was unfair for him, but after seeing the blatant evidence, they now only wanted to distance themselves from this former Sect Master to prevent their own lives from being tarnished.

"This is an internal matter of our Three Saints Sect. If Palace Master Liu has come to discuss something with Li Jianping, you can go to Chenyang Peak to find Su..." Liu Yong instinctively wanted to say Su Ming, but then realized and quickly corrected himself, "You can go to Chenyang Peak to find Sect Master Su."

Upon hearing 'Chenyang Peak,' Liu Yueru felt a slight sense of foreboding.

That was the peak where Su Ming resided. Could it be that this Sect Master Su was actually Su Ming?

If Su Ming really became the Sect Master of the Three Saints Sect, would he still care about the Heaven And Earth Treasures she had prepared for her apology?

Jiang Wang, standing behind her, reacted even faster.

He had long heard from Chu Fan that Su Ming was on Chenyang Peak.

"To think that after Li Jianping's death, the Three Saints Sect would even give away the position of Sect Master just to please him... I'd like to see what happens if this Sect Master Su is injured by people from his own Sect."

Thinking of this, Jiang Wang stepped forward and said, "Elders of the Three Saints Sect, do any of you recognize this Disciple's Master, Ye Nantian?"

"Hmm? Isn't this Chu Fan?" The high-level members who had observed the Sect Grand Competition still had some impression of Chu Fan.

"It is indeed Chu Fan. I didn't expect him to be so lucky as to survive after being caught in the spatial turbulence. Qingyang Peak is over there; Ye Nantian will surely be overjoyed to see him."

Ever since Chu Fan disappeared, Ye Nantian had been depressed for a long time.

As for the other Disciple by his side, Chu Yi Yi... she was still imprisoned at Yan Yu Cliff.

Ye Nantian, whose mind was entirely on Chu Fan, could be said to have completely forgotten about Chu Yiyi.

After confirming the location of Qingyang Peak, Jiang Wang immediately led his people away.

He didn't report to Palace Master Liu throughout the process.

However, Liu Yueru couldn't care about that now; she was only worried about whether any problems would arise when she went up to Chenyang Peak.

So she asked again, "Elder Liu, is the Sect Master Su you just mentioned actually Su Ming?"

To this, Elder Liu nodded slightly.

"Hiss... Then what is the relationship between Sect Master Su and Luo Ningshuang?"

Her visit today was essentially to handle the matter regarding Luo Ningshuang.

If the relationship between Luo Ningshuang and Su Ming wasn't good, she wouldn't have to worry too much.

But if the two were on very good terms, then what she had in her hands wouldn't be enough to present.

Liu Yong recalled the scene he had witnessed earlier, and an answer formed in his mind.

"The relationship between Sect Master Su and Miss Luo should be very good."

After all, everyone had seen the young couple returning to Chenyang Peak hand-in-hand. With things like that, how could their relationship be bad?

Liu Yueru felt a sense of dread after hearing this. Clearly, the relationship between Su Ming and Luo Ningshuang had exceeded her expectations.

"How could a useless person like Luo Ningshuang, who cannot Cultivate, also gain Su Ming's favor?"

"So, Palace Master Liu, what important matter brings you here today?"

"There is indeed a matter... Please inform Sect Master Su that I have something to discuss with him this afternoon."

After saying this, Liu Yueru turned and left on the spot.

The status of Su Ming and Luo Ningshuang had already changed; she naturally couldn't use the original resources as compensation anymore.

After thinking it over, she feared that only the Spirit Awakening Spring Water from Jixia Academy would be worthy enough.

This was a treasure comparable to the three saints golden lotus.

Liu Yueru's visit and sudden departure left the Elders of the Three Saints Sect somewhat baffled, but they were very glad she hadn't focused her attention on Li Jianping's corpse.

Ultimately, this was a family scandal; if it could be kept from spreading, then it shouldn't be.

As for the loss of combat power after Li Jianping's death, there was even less reason to worry.

Just the Half-step Void Realm battle spirit puppet in Su Ming's hands and Uncle Meng were already more than enough to fill the void left by Li Jianping.

Not to mention that their Old Ancestor, Qu Xiangyang, had already returned to the Three Saints Sect.

The death of Li Jianping hadn't caused the Three Saints Sect's strength to decline; instead, it had improved the Sect's overall strength.

Furthermore, they didn't have to worry about the risk of offending Su Ming in the future.

The relationship between the Three Saints Sect and Su Ming had turned a new leaf with Li Jianping's death.

Looking at it this way, Li Jianping's greatest contribution to the Three Saints Sect was actually achieved after he died.

The Elders now looked at Li Jianping's corpse with a hint of gratitude.

Li Jianping, you died well!
