Becoming Sovereign in Everlasting World

Qiu Wenhe, who seemed to be at odds with Zuo Jian, actually spoke to him. This did not make sense. Then he looked at Zuo Jian, who hadn't said a word just now. He was considering how to explain the matter about Wei An to the middle-aged man. Being suddenly mentioned, and being the one that he didn't want to encounter the most, he first glared at Qiu Wenhe, then awkwardly smiled and replied, "I definitely won't say."

"I've already told you why our Imperial Sword Sect gave us such a small place like this when we expanded our application for a city. Moreover, it's so remote, I'm afraid it's to prevent us from taking in those who are fleeing."

"Elder Liao's words are extremely true. Oh, that's right. I wonder how Clan Elder Zuo is doing this time. " The middle-aged man did not have much hope for this, but since he did not want to lose face with Zuo Jian, he naturally had to ask about it.

"Thanks to Sovereign's blessing, although this trip is a remote and small place, we have gained a lot. Furthermore, we have even seen some peerless demon-level talents." Zuo Jian bowed and spoke slowly, his voice trembling with excitement.

Qiu Wen He who was at the side said in disdain: "Tsk, what kind of genius would come out of that place, and what peerless genius? Isn't that too much of an exaggeration? "

Zuo Jian knew that Qiu Wenhe had always had a grudge against him because his grandson beat him up, and had always been against him at every turn.

However, he did not let this matter drop even after a long time had passed. He casually said in a cold voice, "Humph, what this old man said is true. You will know when the time comes."

Qiu Wenhe did not want to be outdone, so he snorted and said, "I'd like to see what abilities you have."

"Cough cough, Elders, let's not argue anymore. We will see the results tomorrow at the Large Competition." The middle-aged man knew why their relationship was so tense, but he couldn't do anything about it. This matter had to be solved by them on their own. "I am also full of expectation for tomorrow's competition. Exactly which hundreds of people will be promoted to inner disciples?"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, all the elders can leave for the Large Competition tomorrow." The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and waved his sleeves.

At this moment, Zuo Jian's expression was unnatural, as if he had made a great decision. He took a step forward and cupped his hands, "Replying to Sect Leader, I have something to report."

The group, who wanted to leave, stopped in their tracks and stood back to their original spot. The middle-aged man looked at Zuo Jian with a big smile on his face, "I wonder what else you want, elder Zuo?"

Seeing that Zuo Jian was hesitating, the middle-aged man said, "Elder Zuo, please speak your mind."

"Speaking of this matter, it's like this …" In one breath, Zuo Jian told him all about Wei An's death in the trial ground without the slightest pause.

"This, this is impossible." Among the elders, the Third Elder was the first to speak. He was shocked but also angry. Amongst the Elders, he was the one who often sheltered Wei An. Although he did not know the reason, it was true. In the end, when Wei An was young and inexperienced, he would naturally restrain himself.

Second, Wei Jian Ming's father was already in the breakthrough stage and was likely to become the tenth elder of the Imperial Sword Sect. In theory, he should be a bit more lenient towards him, in order to avoid losing face and becoming extreme.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's expression was very ugly and he frowned. On the other hand, the others hadn't changed much. It seemed like they hadn't liked Wei An and the others for a long time.

The Third Elder, Yan Qingqing, was fuming. "This …" In the end, who did this? Wei An had already entered the sixth level of precelestial a long time ago. How could he possibly have been killed in the trial? "

The middle-aged man recovered his wits slightly. Seeing Yan Qingqing's red face, he comforted her, "Elder Yan, please do not worry. It will not be too late until elder Zuo has explained everything clearly."

"What happened to elder Zuo?"

"Replying to Sect Leader, like in the past, I sent people to check if anyone died or was killed. When we found Wei An, his body was covered with wounds from beasts, of course, there were sword wounds as well, furthermore …" Furthermore, your sword is fatal.

"I guess it was that sword attack that took Wei An's life." Zuo Jian said half-truthfully. Before he came over, he had done something to the body and he would not be noticed. That way, he would be able to confuse the crowd. It would be very difficult for them to find the murderer.

Yan Qingqing snapped out of her daze and asked coldly, "Where is the corpse?"

With a wave of his left hand, a corpse lay in the middle of the hall. It was none other than Wei An.

Yan Qingqing approached with a trembling body. When she saw the dead man's face, she clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves. A sinister light flashed across her eyes.

The crowd also approached to observe, and at this moment, Elder Hua revealed a look of disgust. After examining the corpse's wounds for a long time, Elder Mo said: "This person does have two kinds of injuries, but the most fatal one is the sword in his chest. He died with one sword strike."

"Oh, then this person really does have some ability. The person who was able to kill Wei An was definitely not someone to be trifled with. He should be one of the top experts in this experiential learning. I wonder if Elder Zuo has any suspects in him." The middle-aged man asked Zuo Jiandao after hearing Elder Hua's analysis.

Zuo Jian thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed two people who are worthy of suspicion. One is called Xing Hu, seventh level precelestial, and the other is called Fan Gu, eighth level precelestial. Both of them have just entered their respective levels, and their talents are all top-notch. The word 'genius' was especially important to Zuo Jian.

"Oh, there's actually such a talented person in the outer ring. To be able to get Elder Zuo to admire him so much, I'd really like to meet him as soon as possible." The middle-aged man's eyebrows raised in surprise and interest was revealed on his face.

He knew that the Sect Leader has always been fond of talent, and if the Sect Leader was truly a demon, he definitely would not have been able to kill him. However, he still gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Sect Leader, I think we have to thoroughly investigate this matter. Furthermore, Wei An is Wei Jianming's son. Wei Jianming might very well become a new budding elder.

"He's just a new Elder. If that person really is a genius, then the room for his growth is limitless." "At that time, if we recommend him to enter the ring, we won't say that the Everlasting School will bestow precious pills upon us, but we will consider it in the long run. If he is able to obtain an important position in the sect, then we …" The person who spoke was the carefree old man from a moment ago. It was unknown if he did it intentionally or not, but his words caused the eyes of the middle-aged man sitting at the front of the hall to light up.

These words caused the other Elders to nod their heads. It seemed like they didn't care much about Wei An's death. In their eyes, the Imperial Sword Sect was their core. Thus, they were very clear on the importance of a genius disciple.

"Huo Xingyun, what do you mean? Is the death of our sect's disciples unimportant?" "Don't tell me that I have to let him die an unknown death." Yan Qing saw that not only did they not discuss how to find out the real culprit, they also wanted to expose the matter. In addition to the old man's words, it was obvious that he was extremely angry and wanted to call out his name.
