Jiang Wang's identity is exposed, and Chu Fan escapes from the Three Saints Sect.

Jiang Wang cursed Chu Fan under his breath, but his actions were quite the opposite.

Firstly, under the influence of destiny, he didn't want to see this chess piece go to waste just like that.

Secondly, once Chu Fan was exposed, he could forget about returning to the Northern Border.

As long as the Elders of the Three Saints Sect followed the trail from Chu Fan, they would definitely find him.

What would happen then? It was obvious.

This was their territory, after all.

With three Peak Star Realm experts working together, there was no way he could hold them off.

So, no matter what, he had to ensure Chu Fan wasn't exposed.

Thus, he decisively prepared to tail Chu Fan to ensure everything went smoothly, but Liu Mu, one of the Grand Elders of the Three Saints Sect, blocked his path.

"Fellow daoist from Jixia Academy, it's late at night and you're not in your room. Where are you planning to go?"

Seeing Liu Mu's smiling face, Jiang Wang immediately felt that things were taking a turn for the worse.

"Just taking a little stroll. The Three Saints Sect is world-famous, and I haven't had a good look around since I arrived."

"Is that so? That's great. I happen to be free as well, so why don't I show you around?"

Saying such things at a time like this, he was clearly prepared.

Jiang Wang thought rapidly and finally made a decision.

He no longer masked his power; the strength of the Peak Star Realm erupted instantly as he attacked Liu Mu.

The sudden outburst left Liu Mu with no time to react.

This move of dropping all pretenses right from the start truly caught him off guard.

But since he dared to come, Liu Mu naturally had his own confidence.

Although he was sent flying thousands of meters by Jiang Wang, his protection Magic Treasure perfectly blocked the most severe part of the offensive; he himself only looked slightly disheveled.

"I don't recall Jixia Academy having a figure like you... You're not Qi Jiang. Who exactly are you?!"

Having regained his composure, Liu Mu arrived before Jiang Wang in the blink of an eye and struck out with a palm, which seemed to bloom like a lotus.

This was the Three Saints Sect's top-tier Battle Technique: "Holy Lotus Palm."

"Heaven-Piercing Demonic Fist!" Jiang Wang struck back in kind.

The impact from their clash instantly turned the entire Three Saints Sect as bright as day.

"Heaven-Piercing Demonic Fist?! You're Jiang Wang!"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Jiang Wang didn't continue the fight.

Taking advantage of the gap when the two were forced apart by their clash, he immediately turned and fled toward the opening in the Sect Protecting Grand Array.

"Stop him!!" Liu Mu roared immediately.

Two figures instantly soared into the sky from other parts of the Three Saints Sect, chasing after the fleeing Jiang Wang.

Unfortunately, the starting distance between them was indeed too great, not to mention that the Demonic Path had endless means of escape; catching up was basically impossible.

Liu Mu and the other two chased past the boundaries of the Three Saints Sect and searched for a long time, but there was still no sign of Jiang Wang.

"He escaped..."

"To think that Jiang Wang actually used Qi Jiang's identity to infiltrate our Three Saints Sect. How exactly is Liu Yueru running her academy?!"

"If you ask me, the Holy Son was wise and heroic this time, seeing through his scheme in advance. Otherwise, our Three Saints Sect would likely be facing a catastrophe."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two Grand Elders deeply agreed.

If not for Su Ming's reminder, they wouldn't have been constantly monitoring Qingyang Peak and discovered Chu Fan's abnormality.

Next, the Three Saints Sect had to conduct a rigorous investigation to prevent Jiang Wang from leaving any hidden moves behind.

"It seems now that Ye Nantian likely died at Jiang Wang's hands... As for Chu Fan, he must have colluded with the Demonic Path!"

"Isn't there a Cultivation Technique in the Demonic Path called the 'Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art'? The anomalies outside the Sect recently were probably caused by Chu Fan cultivating this technique."

"People of the Demonic Path must not be left alive, or the consequences will be endless!"

The three Grand Elders were all sensible people; the rhetoric that power is neither good nor evil didn't work on them.

Not to mention that Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques themselves carried the negative effect of triggering the cultivator's evil thoughts.

For thousands of years, they had never seen anyone who practiced a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique and used it for the right path.

At most, they weren't eroded that severely in the beginning, but further down the line, they had no way to control themselves.

The three Grand Elders made up their minds and returned directly to the Three Saints Sect to begin searching for Chu Fan.

However, they received unexpected news from Liu Yong.

"Grand Elders, Jiang Wang didn't flee far. After you chased him away, he doubled back and took Chu Fan with him."

Hearing this, all three were beyond furious.

"That damned Jiang Wang actually played us! If he falls into my hands, I will definitely grind his bones to ash!"

"Issue a wanted order first, then inform Holy Son Su of this matter!"

"And Jixia Academy—Liu Yueru won't be able to escape responsibility for this either."

Now that the Sect Master and Old Ancestor were away, the affairs of the Three Saints Sect naturally fell entirely onto the three Grand Elders.

After transmitting the news to Su Ming via a secret method, they began to handle the internal matters of the Three Saints Sect.

After all, Jiang Wang, one of the top three in the Demonic Path, had been to the Three Saints Sect; it was impossible for him not to have left any arrangements.

As for Chu Fan, who was taken away by Jiang Wang, he was currently completely bewildered.

He had originally just wanted to sneak out and kill a few Yao Beasts to make a Breakthrough to the Longevity Realm. How did it suddenly turn into this?

He had also heard what the Grand Elder said. The Elder currently taking him away was actually that notoriously fierce Jiang Wang?

But the other party had been helping him all along, and had even saved him and brought him back to the Three Saints Sect... At this moment, Chu Fan's mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

"I know you might have doubts right now, but I want to tell you that what you see and hear isn't necessarily the truth," Jiang Wang spoke up first.

"Because my existence interfered with too many of the Three Saints Sect's interests, they needed a reason to get rid of me..."

"Jiang Wang of the Demonic Path—that is the most suitable reason!"

"Chu Fan, during my time at the Three Saints Sect, I've actually been investigating in secret. Guess what I found?"

Facing Jiang Wang's mysterious tone, Chu Fan couldn't help but feel curious.

"What did you find?"

"I found some records left behind by Li Jianping. He originally wanted to nominate you as the Saint of the Three Saints Sect, but due to Su Ming's status and the pressure from the Three Saints Sect's Elders, he had no choice but to hand the position of Saint to Su Ming."

"And that Su Ming wasn't satisfied; he then conspired with those Elders to assassinate Li Jianping!"

"It's because I discovered this that they suddenly came to silence me!"

Jiang Wang was quite adept at telling such lies.

As he said these words, he even used the Demonic Path's 'Phantom Sound Method' to confuse Chu Fan's thoughts.

"This... how is this possible..."

"Why is it impossible? After Li Jianping's death, there was no one left in the Three Saints Sect who could suppress him, and it became Su Ming's personal domain. The darkness behind it is beyond your imagination."

"If you don't believe me, stay by my side for now. I'll take you to witness for yourself what the current Three Saints Sect really looks like!"

The string of words left Chu Fan a bit lightheaded: "Where are you taking me?"

"Jixia Academy!"

"If nothing goes wrong, the Three Saints Sect will use this as an excuse to send people to Jixia Academy to blackmail Liu Yueru!"
