Chapter 4807
“Master, are you saying that Kai didn’t kill the third elder himself, but someone used his body to do it?”
The elder seemed to grasp Qian Xiaohan’s meaning and asked with a hint of surprise.
Qian Xiaohan nodded. “Yes, someone manipulated Kai’s body to kill the third elder. If a third-grade Mahayana cultivator could defeat a third-grade Immortal with a single strike, then what is the point of cultivation? What meaning do the laws of heaven hold?”
“Who was it? Who could have done such a thing?”
The elder frowned, realizing that someone was targeting Qianmen.
“Didn’t you notice the girl beside Kai?” Qian Xiaohan asked.
Everyone turned their attention to her again. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “The princess of Sun Moon City! That’s Lin Keting, the daughter of Lin Chong from Sun Moon City!”
Someone had recognized Lin Keting’s identity.
“That’s right, she is Lin Chong’s daughter,” Qian Xiaohan confirmed.
“Could Sun Moon City be involved? But we have no conflict with them—why would they target Qianmen?”
“Could it be because of the Ten Palaces? After all, Elder Qian serves within them.”
The elder’s expression was filled with doubt.
“I’m not sure. I’ve tried contacting Elder Qian, but I haven’t been able to reach him. I even attempted a divination, but nothing came of it,” Qian Xiaohan admitted.
“Master, what should we do? If Sun Moon City is truly behind this, then we may be in serious danger…”
The elder’s voice was laced with worry. Qianmen was no match for Sun Moon City. As an imperial power, they had formidable masters like Taoist Wuji backing them.
“If Sun Moon City is responsible, we must demand an explanation. Even if we unite the Three Gates and the Ten Palaces, we still might not be their match,” Qian Xiaohan said grimly.
“But we can also call on the Huo family. Don’t forget, Huo Qing serves in the Ten Palaces as well. The Huo family wouldn’t dare disobey Elder Qian’s orders!”
A fierce glint flashed in Qian Xiaohan’s eyes. “Notify the Tang Sect and the Ling Sect immediately. We depart for Wuwang Land at once—there’s no need to wait for the ladder to descend!”
“Understood!” The elder nodded in agreement.
But just as he was about to make arrangements, a Tang Sect monk rushed in, his expression urgent.
Due to the alliance between the three sects, no one dared to stop the Tang Sect monk.
“Reporting to Sect Master Qian, the Great Elder has sent me to inform you that our young master, Tang Xiaoyi, has been killed. The Great Elder requests that you come to the Tang Sect to discuss this matter.”
The Tang Sect monk spoke solemnly.
“What?” Qian Xiaohan shot up from his seat. “Who did this? Who killed my nephew?”
“Sect Master Qian, the culprit is a man named Kai,” the monk replied.
“Kai? Him again?”
Qian Xiaohan trembled with rage.
“Why is it always him? This is clearly a deliberate attack on Lian Sanmen—this is outrageous!”
“That’s right! This is too much. Even if he has the backing of Sun Moon City, we cannot let this go unpunished!”
“We must avenge the Third Elder and Young Master Tang!”
“Revenge! Revenge!”
The Qian Sect disciples roared in anger.
“Sect Master, we must kill Kai. Even if it means going to war with Sun Moon City, we cannot back down!”
The Great Elder declared firmly.
Qian Xiaohan nodded. “Send word to Lingmen immediately. We will go to Tangmen together. Also, dispatch someone to the Ten Palaces—we need to find out why we can’t reach Elder Qian.”
“Understood!”
The elder acknowledged the order and quickly set things in motion.
In an instant, the masters of all three sects mobilized, sending shockwaves through the hidden forces of the Tianren world.
Individually, the Tang Sect, Qian Sect, and Ling Sect might not have been overwhelming, but together, they formed a force to be reckoned with—one that even their strongest enemies could not ignore.
Kai had made too many enemies at once. Now, the question remained—how would he survive this storm?
