The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 626 The troublemakers have arrived!
"The Demon Palace has come with gifts to congratulate Venerable Song!"

"May Venerable Song ascend to the heavens and live as long as heaven and earth!!"

Bai Li Shang's voice echoed throughout the surrounding area, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Seeing Baili Shang's posture, Song Wanning smiled.

"Venerable Baili, you are too kind. Please take a seat!"

She also pretended to be polite and invited Baili Shang to sit down, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.

Liu Xingzhi glanced at the exchange of glances between the two and knew that they had a very good relationship, so he nodded to Baili Shang in greeting.

Bai Lishang was polite for a moment, then turned his attention to Song Wanning.

The two spoke in hushed tones, recounting the demon race's gains over the past year.

Since Song Wanning left, the demon race has been searching for monsters with all its might, and in the end, they did find many monster dens in demon territory.

This search also startled the Demon King, who never expected that such a huge hidden danger had been buried in their demon territory.

Moreover, the monsters have an exceptionally high reproductive rate, producing dozens of offspring in a single litter, an astonishing number.

Even now, the demons cannot guarantee that they have completely eradicated the monsters.

After listening to his story, Song Wanning's expression became more serious.

But she had done all she could; she couldn't keep wasting her energy on the monster.

Now, she needs to deal with palace intrigue and repair the world.

The two chatted for a while longer before the promotion ceremony began.

As the host, Luo Hantian warmly thanked everyone for coming, and then, following the procedure, announced the mountain peak chosen by Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi, officially making them the Supreme Elders of the Ancient Han Sect.

From this point on, they will participate in the major decision-making of the Ancient Cold Sect and become the true power holders of the Ancient Cold Sect.

This is the reward for all their hard work!
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted, and everyone beamed with joy as they celebrated.

Regardless of what they were thinking, they at least put on a happy face.

Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi remained calm throughout, occasionally offering a response, and quickly completed the process.

Next came the banquet, with all sorts of delicious food and wine being served one after another.

Everyone took their seats, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, creating a lively atmosphere.

Song Wanning, Liu Xingzhi, and several powerful figures from the alliance sat at a table together. Everyone was in high spirits, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, someone suddenly started making a fuss. It turned out that someone was drunk and was mentioning the death of Song Que.

Many people were surprised by Song Que's sudden death, but after learning that the Ancient Cold Sect had silently killed so many monsters, they seemed to understand.

But now someone has raised questions.

No, it should be said that they want to directly reveal the truth.

"Song Que was clearly the culprit who was raising monsters behind the scenes, so how did he become a hero who sacrificed himself to eliminate the monsters in their mouths?"

The man wore a faded white robe, had gray hair, and appeared to be over three hundred years old, yet his cultivation level remained at the Nascent Soul stage.

Someone recognized him; he was none other than the rogue cultivator Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, what's wrong with you, you drunken rant?"

"That's right, this is a great day for the Ancient Cold Sect, don't you dare mess it up!"

People around him quickly tried to tug at his clothes, but Li Yuan didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he raised his voice and loudly questioned Song Wanning and her group at the main table.

Song Wanning and the others' faces immediately darkened. Just as they were about to answer, several more people stepped forward from the crowd. "Yes, the Ancient Cold Sect must provide an explanation! We've all heard about what Song Que has been doing behind the scenes!"

"Was the Ancient Cold Sect also involved?"

As if they had rehearsed beforehand, a group of people turned their attention to the Ancient Cold Sect.

Suddenly, the surroundings became so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the lively atmosphere came to an abrupt halt, and everyone turned to watch the spectacle.

Luo Hantian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up. "Where did you all hear these rumors? Isn't it rather inappropriate to bring them up in this kind of setting?"

"Do you know how much our Ancient Cold Sect sacrificed to deal with those monsters, and how much Venerable Song and Venerable Liu sacrificed?"

A murderous aura surged within him as his gaze swept over each of them.

Apart from two independent cultivators, the others were from sects that had always been at odds with the Ancient Cold Sect.

Before those people could explain, a loud voice rang out.

"Sect Master Luo, now that the news of Song Que has spread far and wide, the Ancient Cold Sect would better give an explanation."

A group of people flew over from a distance; they were from the Supreme Sect of the Eastern Region.

This sect has always been in seclusion, with very few people going out to train. Most of them are buried in their cultivation, because their main research focuses on astrology and divination.

"They're from the Supreme Sect? What brings them here?"

"Could it be that they've calculated something?"

"Tsk, could Song Que really be the person behind raising monsters?"

Many people's expressions changed, and even several sect leaders who had close ties with the Ancient Cold Sect cast questioning glances at them.

Luo Hantian's heart skipped a beat. Why did the Supreme Sect have to get involved in this mess?

A cold glint flashed in Song Wanning's eyes as she sat in her seat.

It seems someone is deliberately trying to bring down the Ancient Cold Sect; it appears they've been planning this for a long time!
But this matter has been kept secret, so how did someone find out?
She immediately thought of Li Qingya.

"Ah."

Song Wanning sneered. If she had only suspected it at first, she was now 100% certain that Li Qingya definitely had a problem.

She is Song Que's eldest disciple, and may have been secretly raising monsters for him. Now that she knows she can't return to the Ancient Cold Sect, she wants to destroy it.

What a cruel heart.

Luo Hantian had clearly thought of this as well, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Hehe, I welcome the fellow Daoists from the Supreme Sect who have come to offer their congratulations. However, if your sect intends to smear the Ancient Cold Sect, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

"Today is supposed to be a joyous day for my Ancient Cold Sect. Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

"That's just too much!!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them, and his aura became unfathomable.

"I don't know where you got these rumors from. If you all sit down and congratulate the Ancient Cold Sect, I will forgive your sect's rudeness!"

His threat was quite clear; Gu Hanzong absolutely could not admit to this.

Song Que can only be a hero!
"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Supreme Sect sneered. He curled his lips into a mocking smile and pressed on, "Then does your sect dare to release footage of Song Que before his death? Let us see who killed him!"

The geniuses and great figures of major sects all have soul lamps, which allow them to see the last moments before their death, which can be considered a unique form of protection.
