C366 Tiantong Island
"Eldest Palace Lord, Hsu Wei died in the Nine Palace City. How should we deal with this matter?" Thunder Sovereign frowned. This had never happened before.
Sovereign Tai Yi said indifferently: "Didn't I say to notify Origin Sect?"
"This …" The Palace Masters looked at each other. Was it that simple? Notifying Origin Sect, Origin Sect would definitely investigate the real culprit, wouldn't that be troublesome then?
In fact, many Palace Masters suspected that Sovereign Tai Yi might have done it.
Because, other than Sovereign Tai Yi, who had entered the Origin Stage Realm, there should not be a second person in the three empires who could kill Hsu Wei in such a quiet manner.
Although Hsu Wei was only at Earth Sage Stage, it was still a power at the bottom of Earth Sage Stage. Even if a Heavenly Sage Stage expert wanted to kill him, they would need at least ten moves.
There were no signs of a fight at all. Other than Hsu Wei's attack, it was an instant kill. There were no signs of an opponent attacking.
Sovereign Tai Yi was probably the only one who had the qualification to instantly kill Hsu Wei.
This was the reason why the other Palace Masters were waiting for Sovereign Tai Yi's orders: Boss, even if you want to kill Hsu Wei, you shouldn't be in Nine Palace City! Isn't this just giving trouble to the Jiugong Sect?! Even if he died in the Nine Palace City, at least he would be able to arrange a way out. At least it would be good to destroy the evidence!
Everyone thought that Sovereign Tai Yi had some sort of plan or idea to keep Hsu Wei's corpse, but who would have thought that Sovereign Tai Yi only said a few words to notify Origin Sect and it ended just like that?!
This was simply not treating Origin Sect as a human!
Actually, Sovereign Tai Yi himself was bitter in his heart. Unlike the other Palace Masters, he knew that Hsu Wei was not killed by himself. Other than that mysterious person, he could not think of anyone else that could instantly kill Hsu Wei.
Although he was not clear as to why this mysterious person wanted to kill Hsu Wei, Sovereign Tai Yi knew that this was not something he could manage. The best way was to notify Origin Sect and let them handle it themselves, but he did not explain anything about it, he only said that this matter had nothing to do with Jiugong Sect.
If Origin Sect wanted to investigate the truth, then let them investigate.
After he finished speaking, Sovereign Tai Yi directly returned to his own residence. Since he had no other ways to save the other Palace Masters, he could only follow Sovereign Tai Yi's instructions, but the Origin Sect Courtyard would still inform them of this matter.
And because of Sovereign Tai Yi's instructions, the corpse and the scene did not move an inch. Evidently, they were just waiting to see the Origin Sect's investigation.
As for the Origin Sect, the moment they received the news, it completely went berserk, and the Second Sect Master actually died suddenly in Nine Palace City, this was simply a huge matter of the sky collapsing, and Great Sect Master could not even contact him at this time, because Fourth Sect Master and Hsiao Dan had suffered terrible losses in Pill Tao Competition, and had not even recovered from the blow yet. Only Fifth Sect Master was there to take charge of the overall situation, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as having spent the entire night.
That was, this matter had nothing to do with Jiugong Sect. If Origin Sect were to be investigated, it would be as you wish, but one had to abide by the order of the Nine Palace City, it could not affect anyone else.
For a moment, the entire Nine Palace City seemed as if a storm was brewing, and no one knew who killed the Origin Sect Sect Master.
The number one suspect in Origin Sect was naturally Duobao Sect, but the Great Sect Master on the side of the Duobao Sect also had evidence of his absence, because that day, many sect heavyweights had come to congratulate Duobao Sect. The Duobao Sect Five Great Sect Master was also receiving guests, so how could he have the time to kill Hsu Wei?
Moreover, other than Great Sect Master and Zhuo Bufan from the Duobao Sect, the others didn't even have the strength to kill Hsu Wei. Even if it was the Second Sect Master, Duan Rong, they could at most defeat Hsu Wei and not kill him.
So, although the hatred between Duobao Sect and themselves were as deep as the ocean, they were not very suspicious. Honestly speaking, the main focus of everyone's suspicions was still on Sovereign Tai Yi.
After all, Sovereign Tai Yi was the only person in the Nine Palace City who could kill Hsu Wei without anyone noticing.
Not long after, a message came out, saying that it was Sovereign Tai Yi who killed Hsu Wei.
Sovereign Tai Yi was also helpless towards these messages. He knew that he wouldn't be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River, but he didn't try to defend himself.
At that time, Nie Zhen was directly teleported by Elder Xue to an uninhabited island.
When the scene of the deserted island entered Nie Zhen's eyes, he noticed that there was a transcendent fairy dressed in light pink clothes, walking towards the two with a smile.
Nie Zhen didn't know this girl, but from between his brows, Nie Zhen felt a sense of familiarity.
"Xue Er, I've brought this brat here." Elder Xue smiled as he saw the girl.
"Xue'er? "Xue'er?!" Nie Zhen turned pale with fright. He thought he was hallucinating. He finally knew why he felt that the girl in front of him was so familiar.
However, this was too big of a blow for Nie Zhen. In terms of beauty, the girl in front of him far surpassed any beauty Nie Zhen had ever seen. It was like the difference between her and her previous appearance.
"It's been hard on you, Elder Xue." Xue Er smiled at Elder Xue.
Hearing Yan Ruoxue's words, Nie Zhen was finally sure that the girl in front of him was really Yan Ruoxue.
"What is it? "Xue'er has only recovered her looks, yet Young Master Nie doesn't recognize her?" Yan Ruoxue thought that Nie Zhen's stunned expression was quite amusing, so she immediately said mischievously to him.
"I …" Nie Zhen smiled bitterly, "I almost couldn't recognize him …" Xue'er, your appearance is obviously … And why do you pretend to be ugly? "
Yan Ruoxue smiled. "If Xue'er showed her beauty to others, wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble?"
Nie Zhen thought to himself, that was true. If this devastatingly beautiful face of Yan Ruoxue were to be displayed to the public, it would definitely attract countless berserk butterflies.
Yan Ruoxue continued to blush as she said, "Besides, if it wasn't for that look, Xue'er wouldn't have known Young Master Nie's feelings for me, right?"
Nie Zhen smirked and said, "Aren't you afraid that I would already know the truth about you?"
"That appearance was personally laid by Elder Xue. If you can even see through that, then Xue'er will not lose her eyesight!" Yan Ruoxue said with a smile.
"Cough cough …" "Alright, alright, you two youngsters, you must be jealous of this old man." Elder Xue coughed twice and then said seriously to Nie Zhen, "Nie Zhen, since you and Xue'er already know each other, you can call me Elder Xue from now on. I know you have a lot of questions on your mind right now. If you have any questions, you can ask them first."
Nie Zhen looked at Elder Xue seriously and asked the first question, "Junior indeed has many doubts. The first question is, Elder Xue, where did you and Xue'er come from?"
Nie Zhen's question was unexpected but also reasonable. Elder Xue thought Nie Zhen's first question would be about their specific cultivation level.
Elder Xue was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xue'er and I came from the Tianji Island."
"Tianji Island?" Nie Zhen frowned, he had never heard of this place before.
Elder Xue said to Nie Zhen slowly, "Regarding this place called Tianji Island, you don't have to understand it too much now. In fact, there aren't many people who know about Tianji Island in this world, and this doesn't mean much to you. You just need to know that this is a place that surpasses Five Great Divine Kingdom."
"A place that exceeds the Five Great Divine Kingdom?!" Nie Zhen's pupils contracted. He originally thought that on this Everlasting Continent, the most powerful place would be the Five Great Divine Kingdom, but who would have thought that another Tianji Island appeared.
"Huff …" Nie Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Yan Ruoxue came from a certain clan within Five Great Divine Kingdom, but now that he thought about it, he indeed underestimated the clan behind Yan Ruoxue.
"Elder Xue, I have one more question." Nie Zhen said lightly, "What qualifications do I have to marry Xue'er?"
Nie Zhen's words made Yan Ruoxue blush a little and lower her head, while Elder Xue was a little surprised. According to logic, this young man should have a lot of questions, but he asked them directly. This meant that his mind was very clear, and he knew what he wanted and wanted.
However, although Nie Zhen's question was simple, it was not easy to answer because it involved a lot of Tianji Island matters. Not only was it a long story, Elder Xue had also promised Yan Ruoxue.
Seeing that Elder Xue was hesitating, Nie Zhen knew that there were some things that were inconvenient for them to tell him at that moment, so he changed the question: "Since Elder Xue is inconvenient to answer, I'll ask another question. If I have Elder Xue's cultivation, would I have the right to do so?"
Nie Zhen's question was even more shocking than the previous one, and this time, not to mention Elder Xue, even Yan Ruoxue looked up at Nie Zhen with incredulous eyes.
Elder Xue calmed himself down and then said to Nie Zhen, "If your cultivation can one day reach my level, you are indeed qualified, and no one will oppose it."
Nie Zhen smirked and said, "Alright then. What level is Elder Xue at? Can you tell me?"
Yan Ruoxue said anxiously, "Young Master Nie, Xue'er won't ask you for these so-called qualifications."
Looking at Yan Ruoxue's anxious face, Nie Zhen smiled. He patted her head and said, "I know, but I still need to get the qualification."
"Haha, good!" You have courage! " Elder Xue praised, "But Nie Zhen, being confident is a good thing, but this old man can't tell you my cultivation right now, it's not a good thing for youngsters to look too highly on me. Wait until you can enter Five Great Divine Kingdom in the future, then you'll have a chance to know this old man's strength."
Although Elder Xue praised Nie Zhen's attitude, he didn't say his strength.
Nie Zhen pouted and said to Elder Xue: "If that's the case, then I'll ask in a different way. Elder Xue, have you entered the Hevenly God Stage yet?"
"You know about Hevenly God Stage?!" When Nie Zhen asked this question, Elder Xue and Yan Ruoxue were both shocked.2
