Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Chapter 267.2

The Great Elder confirmed that the Ziqing Holy Lord was poisoned. However, no one knew who the real murderer was. On the surface, the Great Elder was the most suspicious, but the suspicions of the Second Elder and the Third Elder could not be completely ruled out. Now that the Third Elder was dead and the Second Elder was on the run, the Great Elder was the only one left in charge of the Ziqing Sacred Land.

Of course, there are other elders in Ziqing Sacred Land, but they are insignificant and their opinions basically do not need to be considered.

After all, the Tiangang Sword Sect was an outsider. They were not judges and could not administer justice. In addition, they had no evidence, so even though the Tiangang Sword Sect elders did not really believe the words of the Great Elder, they could only pretend to understand on the surface.

No matter how the Great Elder said that the Second Elder was not trustworthy, the elder of the Tiangang Sword Sect just refused to listen, which made him angry. In the end, no one knew what he was thinking, but he suddenly had an idea and said that the two most qualified to succeed the Ziqing Holy Lord were the two direct disciples of the Ziqing Holy Lord, which were Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian. So he suggested that they should directly call these two people back to the Ziqing Sacred Land and choose the next Ziqing Holy Lord from the two of them.

The Great Elder thought that Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian were probably dead, so they would definitely not return to the Ziqing Sacred Land. Although the Tiangang Sword Sect elders also understood this, they could not easily draw conclusions because they had not yet confirmed the life and death of the two. Even on the surface, they had to recruit the two back first. As for whether they could be recruited back, that was another matter.

As long as one of either Tang Fei or Murong Pianpian comes back, someone will be able to take over the mess of Ziqing Sacred Land. But if they don’t come back... then they will have to continue discussing the succession of Ziqing Holy Lord.

The elder also said “kindly” that Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian might be dead, but they might also be alive. If they were still alive, they might be recuperating in some remote corner. So they probably wouldn’t be able to come back in the short term. So he suggested that it would be best to wait for three months. If Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian still couldn’t come back after three months, then they could discuss the matter of re-establishing the Ziqing Holy Lord.

After hearing this, the elders of Tiangang Sword Sect looked at the Great Elder meaningfully for a while, then slowly nodded in agreement.

Not only that, he also used the “dead” Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian to buy himself a three-month reprieve. Next, he only needed to completely eradicate the Second Elder’s lineage within these three months, and the final Ziqing Holy Lord would still be him.

But the one who issued the notice was the Tiangang Sword Sect...

The Tiangang Sword Sect is recognized as the number one sect in Beizhou and the leader of the righteous sects of Beizhou. The Tiangang Sword Sect attaches great importance to its own reputation, so the notice they issued is backed by the reputation of the Tiangang Sword Sect. After Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian returned, they would be guaranteed by the Tiangang Sword Sect, so at least their lives were safe.

But having no worries about life does not mean that everything is fine. Tang Fei felt that as long as the Great Elder was not dead, they would still be in danger after returning. The biggest possibility was that Tang Fei or Murong Pianpian was established as a puppet lord by the Great Elder, and the power of the Sacred Land was still controlled by the Great Elder. The two people without any foundation basically had no chance of defeating the Great Elder.

But now is the only chance for the two to return and take back power. This opportunity is rare, if you miss it, it will be gone!

Logically speaking, if they wanted to stay safe, they should just ignore the notice. As long as others thought they were dead, they could live well. But when Tang Fei thought about his master dying in such an unclear way, he couldn’t swallow it!

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Tang Fei decided to return to the Ziqing Sacred Land!
