It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Gu Qingxuan rushed over.

He looked at the scene before him, and when he saw the corpse of True Lord Fire Cloud, his scalp tingled.

He had intended to speak up and stop her from a distance, but Murong Yue acted even faster.

Before he could even utter a word, he had already killed Huoyun Zhenjun.

He looked at Murong Yue with an angry expression.

"Peak Master Murong, why did you kill True Monarch Huoyun? Do you know that our Qingxuan Sect forbids killing fellow disciples?"

Murong Yue looked at Gu Qingxuan with a calm expression and said casually.

"He dared to bully my junior brother, he deserves to die."

Upon hearing Murong Yue's calm words, Gu Qingxuan immediately covered his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"You're only concerned about this? Your junior brother is still standing perfectly fine, isn't he?"

"How did he look like he was being bullied? I heard he even killed Liu Yunfei."

Murong Yue looked at Gu Qingxuan, snorted coldly, and then said nothing more.

I don't want to get entangled with Gu Qingxuan any longer.

She's already killed him, what more do you want? She'll bear any punishment that comes her way.

At this moment, all the Qingxuan Sect disciples present listened to Murong Yue's calm words.

Such a simple reason, yet it all makes my scalp tingle.

They had long heard that Murong Yue was obsessed with her junior brothers.

Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true.

Chen Ming was hiding in the distance, watching as Sect Master Gu Qingxuan appeared.

As one of the parties involved, he felt it was necessary to say a few words.

After all, his impression of Gu Qingxuan wasn't exactly bad.

"Sect Master, please listen to me. We are both at fault in this matter. Let's call it quits."

"It was Liu Yunfei who first bullied the disciples of Xingyue Peak and thought that Xingyue Peak had no one to rely on, so I taught him a lesson."

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Gu Qingxuan immediately puffed out his beard and glared.

You mean to teach him a lesson, and that means cutting him in half?

"You two, brother and sister, are becoming more and more lawless."

Gu Qingxuan looked helpless.

He looked at Murong Yue and Chen Ping as if they were two demonic stars.

They were so small and cute when they first came to Qingxuan Sect.

How did it become like this after only a few decades?

Which part of the process went wrong?

At this moment, more and more Qingxuan Sect disciples gathered, and the news spread faster and faster.

The peak masters of Zixiao Peak, Yuye Peak, and Yunchu Peak also appeared at the same time.

The death of a peak master of the Qingxuan Sect naturally enraged them.

After all, they had had a lot of contact with Huoyun Zhenjun over the years and were well aware of his strength.

At this moment, they all felt their scalps tingle as they looked at the corpses of Liu Yunfei and Huoyun Zhenjun on the ground.

With these two dead, Huoyun Peak is practically crippled.

They were also curious about how Sect Master Gu Qingxuan would handle this matter.

Although Huo Yunfeng started the trouble, Murong Yue and Chen Ping shouldn't have gone so far as to kill them.

Gu Qingxuan was also in a dilemma at this moment.

It would be fine if it were anyone else, but it just so happens to be Murong Yue and Chen Ping.

Their master was none other than the Heavenly Sun True Lord.

Although True Lord Tianyang was only a nominal elder in the Qingxuan Sect at the time.

They publicly declared themselves to be in a state of fusion.

But only Gu Qingxuan knew that True Monarch Tianyang was far from simple; his aura was as deep as an abyss and extremely terrifying.

Even his master, the former sect leader of the Qingxuan Sect, couldn't see through him and felt wary of him.

Gu Qingxuan shuddered instantly when he thought of Tianyang Zhenjun.

He was lost in memories, of that figure who was always superior and always seemed so calm and collected.

"Staying with your Qingxuan Sect is an honor for you, don't be ungrateful."

Gu Qingxuan then snapped out of his reverie, still shaken.

Although Tianyang Zhenjun looked disappointed when he left.

He said that what he was looking for was not in the Northern Region, and that he would never come back.

But Gu Qingxuan didn't believe it.

What if the Heavenly Sun True Lord returns?

What if I slap him to death?

He was now in front of the entire sect, and if he did not punish Murong Yue and Chen Ping, it would damage his prestige.

But when True Lord Tianyang returns and finds out that he targeted his disciple, he can't bear the consequences.

At this moment, Gu Qingxuan was under the gaze of everyone present from the Qingxuan Sect, and he was caught in a dilemma.

If they were to let Murong Yue and Chen Ping off so easily, wouldn't the rules of the Qingxuan Sect become a joke?

No, he had to think of a way, a way that would satisfy both sides.

Then, he glanced at Chen Ping, who, like all the other disciples, looked shocked.

The legendary good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing who couldn't break through the body tempering process for thirty years.

But he was able to kill Liu Yunfei, who had just broken through to the Void Realm.

Thinking of Liu Yunfei's breakthrough to the Void Realm, he also felt a little regretful.

If Liu Yunfei breaks through to the Void Realm before the age of thirty, he's definitely a genius. He'll surely achieve good results in the Four Sects Grand Competition.

Unfortunately, he has now been killed by Chen Ping.

Wait, thirty years old?

The standard for young disciples to be considered geniuses in the Four Sects Grand Competition is that they must be thirty years old or younger.

Chen Ping is only thirty years old now. With this kind of strength, it wouldn't be a piece of cake for him to get into the top ten in the Four Sects Tournament.

Gu Qingxuan's face lit up with joy; he had come up with a solution.

Then, Gu Qingxuan, with a stern expression, scanned the crowd and his gaze fell on Murong Yue and Chen Ping.

"Murong Yue and Chen Ping, although you two killed the Fire Cloud Peak Master and Liu Yunfei."

However, I believe that you two acted impulsively while standing up for the disciples of Star Moon Peak, which led to the accidental deaths of Peak Master Fire Cloud and Liu Yunfei. This is understandable.

"However, it is definitely wrong for you to commit murder, and you must be severely punished."

After Gu Qingxuan finished speaking, before the surrounding disciples could react, he spoke to Chen Ping.

"Chen Ping, I order you to ensure that Qingxuan Sect achieves a top-ten ranking in the Four Sects Grand Competition, and this matter will be dropped. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."

Chen Ping was taken aback when he heard Gu Qingxuan speak of such a light punishment in such a stern tone.

Achieving a top-ten finish in the Four Sects Grand Competition is nothing special; even a Profound Core Realm cultivator could do that.

Not to mention, he killed Chen Ping, who was at the Void Realm, with a single sword strike.

Is this still considered a punishment?

Murong Yue and the Xingyue Peak disciples behind her were also stunned upon hearing this.

They never expected that Gu Qingxuan, who was always fair, impartial, and strict, would...

Their leniency at this moment is simply unbelievable to them.

The surrounding disciples also realized what was happening, and instantly, a murmur of discussion arose.

"What do you mean by accidentally killing Huoyun Zhenjun and Liu Yunfei? That's way too careless."

"And what about those who placed in the top ten of the four major competitions? Is that considered a punishment?"

"What's wrong with the sect leader today? Has he been possessed?"

This is blatant favoritism!

However, Gu Qingxuan paid no attention to the discussions around him.

"Let's leave it at that, and don't bring it up again."

With a flick of his sleeve, he left the place with his disciple Chu Xuantian.

His disciple, Chu Xuantian, was no ordinary person; at the age of nineteen, he broke through to the Void Realm.

Within the Qingxuan Sect, he is the most talented person.

With the Four Sects Grand Competition just around the corner, he needs to hone Chu Xuantian's skills and strive to win first place in the competition.

But Chu Xuantian, who had witnessed this scene, also looked puzzled.

"Master, why are you doing this?"

"Why should we let Xingyue Peak off so easily? They slaughtered their own fellow disciples within the sect, and those were core members of our Qingxuan Sect. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
