Just as Wang Yan and Wang Xian 'er did not know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of the black clouds, a clamor of discussion came from afar.
Not long after, the noise gradually faded away.
However, Wang Yan's face became extremely ugly at that moment. His eyes that had always been calm and indifferent were now filled with urgency.
The noise earlier was talking about the arrival of the three elders of the Star sect, demanding an explanation for a direct disciple.
Wang Yan basically thought of the Wu Tian he had killed in a single punch in the Misty Woods at the very first moment.
"Xian 'er, take me to elder Zhou."
The urgent voice made Wang Xian 'er's smile vanish rapidly. After a moment of surprise, she immediately pulled Wang Yan to where Zhou Ao resided.
…
"He's here."
Ji Tianran opened the lid of the teacup, blew away the rising steam, and casually said these words.
Xiu Yao and the other two immediately held their breaths. Their gazes gradually turned cold.
When he thought of Li Yanran's words, Shi You almost lost his temper. Wu Tian was his only direct disciple. His talent was extremely great.
As long as he had enough time, his future accomplishments would be limitless.
As a result, Shi You poured most of his efforts into Wu Tian.
He hoped that his only direct disciple could bring glory to the Star sect and make a great name for himself on the Starsource Continent.
Not only was it unfortunate that Wu Tian died before he could show his prowess.
As his master, Shi You was obviously furious.
When Li Yanran returned to the Star sect and told them everything that had happened, Shi You went to find Xiu Yao and Yu Chenghai.
He promised them a great reward, and the three of them travelled over ten thousand kilometers to the Sun Sect to demand an explanation.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
The sound of footsteps rang out from afar. Zhou Ao appeared in the discussion hall with Cang Jin.
After glancing past the three of them, Zhou Ao said nothing. He found a chair and directly sat down, drinking his tea leisurely.
Cang Jin stood behind him expressionlessly, staring at a beam in the hall.
It seemed that there was something special about this beam, so much so that he was so focused on it that he completely ignored the three elders of the Star sect.
The master and disciple's behavior immediately caused Xiu Zhao and the other two's expressions to turn extremely ugly.
Although the Star sect was ranked behind the Sun Sect, disciples like Cang Jin still had to salute when they saw Xiu Kong.
"You must be the Eighth Elder of your sect?
This old man is the Great Elder of Star Sect, Xiu Kai. "
"On my left is Third Elder Chi Chenghai, and on my right is Second Elder Shi You."
"Today, the three of us have come to your sect to demand an explanation from the Eighth Elder."
After saying that, Xiu Ming brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip. He did not say anything else.
However, his deep-set triangular eyes were fixed on the tall and sturdy Cang Jin.
Specks of cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Eighth Elder, your direct disciple killed my only disciple in the Misty Forest.
How should this matter be resolved? "
Putting down the teacup, Shi You stared coldly at Cang Jin, who was behind Zhou Ao.
Like a venomous snake ready to pounce at any moment, his eyes shone with an extremely sharp light.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became oppressive again.
Everyone looked at Zhou Ao and Cang Jin, wanting to see how they would react.
However, Zhou Ao continued to drink his tea unhurriedly, as if he had not heard anything.
Cang Jin, on the other hand, maintained his expressionless face and maintained his previous posture.
"What?
Does the great Sun Sect not even have the courage to admit it? "
At this moment, Xiu Zhao smiled coldly and suddenly stood up.
In an instant, a monstrous pressure rose from his body like an angry dragon coming out of the abyss, wanting to overturn the entire hall.
"Brother Xiu, don't be impatient."
Ji Tianran slowly put down the teacup and spat out these four words.
In an instant, the terrifying pressure that could split open mountains and make all things submit had vanished.
The atmosphere in the hall returned to peace and tranquility, but it gave people the feeling that a storm was brewing.
Xiu Zhao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he snorted coldly and sat back down.
At this time, Ji Tianran looked at Zhou Ao. "Old Eight, Cang Jin is now your direct disciple.
So, I have no right to make any decisions. As for what to do, it's all up to you. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Tianran waved his hand, and a clear stream of water appeared out of thin air and accurately fell into the teacup.
When Ji Tianran brought the teacup to his mouth, steam curled up from the teacup.
"Great Elder Xiu, are you here today to denounce me for my crimes?"
Then, Zhou Ao looked at Shi You, whose eyes were almost spewing fire. "Elder Shi, you said that my disciple killed your disciple in the Misty Forest?"
"You can't just make empty claims without proof. You have to show proof."
Crack!
The carved armrest of the chair suddenly shattered. Shi You slowly retracted his hand and looked at Zhou Ao with a gloomy expression.
"My disciple is already dead. What other proof does Elder Zhou need?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ao immediately snorted coldly. "What a joke. Your disciple died because Cang Jin killed him?
Did Elder Shi see this scene with his own eyes?
If you didn't, then you're just slandering me! "
As soon as he said this, Shi You's breathing immediately became heavy, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Xiu Zhao's gaze became dangerous at this moment, and a hint of anger surged in the bottom of his eyes.
"What a sharp tongue, Eighth Elder. Today, this old man has finally seen what kind of trash an elder from the Sun Sect is!"
"Cang Jin killed Shi You's disciple, Wu Tian, in the Misty Forest. This news came from a disciple who was training with Wu Tian."
"At first, this old man thought that a big sect like the Sun Sect would definitely understand the ways of the world. But today, I'm really disappointed."
After saying these words with a cold expression, Xiu Zhao reached into his pocket, took out an item, and threw it at Zhou Ao.
A ray of light streaked across the void, causing a series of ear-piercing wind-breaking sounds.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Ao flicked his sleeves and ran, reaching out with two fingers to catch the ray of light.
Although he still looked majestic and unmoving, he used all the strength in his body.
Although he was secretly shocked, Zhou Ao remained calm and sat upright on the chair.
"Originally, this old man didn't want to take this thing out, but your sect's attitude is too disappointing."
"This jade disc contains some of the images I extracted from the memory of the disciple who brought back the news. Eighth Elder, please take a look first before you speak."
In an instant, Zhou Ao's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Xiu Zhao to still have this hidden card.
Although once one's cultivation reached a certain level, one could forcibly search the soul of others and know everything about the person whose soul was searched.
But doing so would cause great damage to the person's soul, not to mention stripping a part of their memory and putting it into the jade disc.
Just based on this point, it was clear that Shi You wasn't lying. The Wu Tian who was killed should be the disciple he cared about the most.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way to the Sun Sect to denounce them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ao released his divine sense and entered the jade disc. He immediately saw the scene before Wu Tian was killed.
Although the entire scene only lasted a few seconds, the content was extremely shocking.
Especially the last sentence Wu Tian shouted: "Go back and tell Master that the person who killed me was Cang Jin."
It was enough to explain everything!
