In an instant, the expressions of the Sun Sect elders changed.
The only one who could maintain his composure was Ji Tianran.
He didn't seem to hear the cold shout that shook the heavens. He calmly lifted the teacup to his mouth and gently blew on it.
"Tea should be drunk while it's hot. If it's cold, not only will the taste change, but it will also be harmful.
"Fellow Star Sect Daoists, I have already given the order to capture Wang Yan and bring him back to the sect. He will be captured in a few days.
"If Fellow Daoists are willing to wait in my sect, please go and rest. Forgive me for not being able to send you off."
Xiu Hao's eyes flashed. He laughed. "Since that's the case, we will stay in your sect. I hope Elder Ji won't blame us if we have disturbed you."
"No problem. Brother Xiu, please go ahead."
After looking around coldly, Xiu Hao and the others left the meeting hall with their heads held high under the lead of the Sun Sect disciples.
"First Elder, why did Li Wanhe of the Soaring Cloud Trade Union suddenly come to visit us?"
"That's right. Our Sun Sect doesn't seem to have any dealings with the Soaring Cloud Trade Union."
"No matter what, this person calling the Sect Master by name is already extremely disrespectful. We can just ignore him …"
Xiu Hao and the others had just left when the silent meeting hall suddenly became noisy. The elders were all discussing.
Ji Tianran didn't speak during the entire process. He just focused on drinking his tea.
It was as if this cup of tea was more important than anything else in his eyes.
"Elders, have you forgotten that Wang Yan killed Li Zhenhai of the Soaring Cloud Trade Union not long ago?"
In an instant, the noisy meeting hall fell silent. All the elders kept their mouths shut.
At the same time, everyone looked at Ji Tianran in unison, their eyes filled with questions.
"The Sect Master expected this day to come. That's why he made it very clear that day."
"I believe that all the elders present have not forgotten this. Everyone remembers, right?"
The Third Elder, Xuan Wenmin, frowned slightly at Ji Tianran's words. "Even if that's the case, Wang Yan's performance was truly extraordinary.
"He was able to kill the peak Star Refining Li Zhenhai when he was at the Star Refining Realm. Now that he has broken through to the Star Refining Realm, he even killed the 5th level Star Condensation Realm Shi You."
"I believe that as long as he has the time to grow, he will definitely become a famous figure in the Eastern Continent in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fourth Elder Yu Hanhai continued, "That's right, this old man also thinks highly of Wang Yan."
"As long as he's given enough time, he might even be groomed as a Young Sect Master in the future!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders' expressions all changed. Without exception, they all revealed looks of approval.
Wang Yan's performance had far surpassed the top ten disciples of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and he had not even entered the Dragon Transformation Ground to cultivate, but he was already so outstanding.
Therefore, everyone was optimistic about Wang Yan. They believed that he would definitely become the brightest star in Sun Sect.
Not only would he become the mainstay of the Sun Sect, he would even become the Young Sect Master, the next Sun Sect Master!
"Of course I know what you are talking about, but the Headmaster has made it very clear that day."
"If the people from the Soaring Cloud Commerce Chamber of Commerce don't come looking for us, then it's fine. But once they do, they will expel Wang Yan from the Sect and no longer see him as our disciple."
"Li Wanhe has been living in seclusion for many years, and he no longer cares about worldly affairs. Now that he has come to visit us, I believe everyone knows why."
Then, Ji Tianran put down his teacup and slowly stood up.
"There's no point in talking anymore. Everyone, follow me to welcome him."
…
Before the Sun Sect's entrance, Li Wanhe was wearing a black robe. He ignored the disciples who were discussing among themselves. His eyes were like torches as he stared at the tall peak of the Middle Peak.
Because that was the symbol of the entire Sun Sect's authority, and also the residence of the elders.
Just then, a few rays of light pierced through the sky and shot toward the entrance.
The noise was loud, like thunder rumbling across the sky, it created endless rumbling noises.
"Look, it's the First Elder!"
"That's right, and the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder, they are all here!"
"Who is this elder who calls himself Li Wanhe?
Why did he disturb the First Elder and the others … "
While the disciples were discussing, the First Elder, Ji Tianran, led the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder to appear before Li Wanhe.
After landing, Ji Tianran slightly nodded in greeting, "Welcome, Leader Li. Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier."
"Who are you?"
Ji Tianran's expression was cold, his eyes indifferent, "I am the Sun Sect's First Elder, Ji Tianran. The two beside me are the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder."
"Oh, it's Elder Ji. Where's your headmaster?
Why hasn't he come to see me? "
Facing Li Wanhe's unfriendly question, Ji Tianran indifferently replied, "The headmaster is in closed-door training. He can't welcome you."
"I hope Leader Li is magnanimous enough to forgive my rudeness."
Hearing this, Li Wanhe's expression turned cold, "If that's the case, I won't pursue it further."
"Today, I only came to visit you for one thing, and that is to enter the Sun Sect to investigate one thing."
"I believe that Elder Ji won't disagree with this small request, right?"
Hearing this, Ji Tianran's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he moved aside and made an inviting gesture.
Seeing this, Li Wanhe snorted coldly and strode into the Sun Sect.
At the same time, the power of his soul exploded, instantly covering the entire Sun Sect!
In an instant, Ji Tianran's eyebrows twitched, "Leader Li, what are you trying to do?"
"This place belongs to the Sun Sect, not the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild. Leader Li, it's better for you to restrain yourself!"
Ji Tianran emphasized the last sentence, his gaze also instantly turning cold.
Third Elder Xuan Wenmin and Fourth Elder Yu Hanhai both stared at Li Wanhe with torch-like eyes. They slowly moved away, surrounding him in the middle.
"What, do you still want to attack me?"
"To tell you the truth, not long ago, my son Li Zhenhai died at the foot of your Sun Sect, in a maple forest a thousand miles away from Qinghe Town."
"I followed the imprints on the soul tablets all the way here. The murderer could very well be hiding in your Sun Sect, or even anyone here!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the Scorching Sun Sect disciples who had gathered to watch the fight changed drastically.
The only ones who were calm and unperturbed were Ji Tianran and the other two.
Because they already knew why Li Wanhe had come to visit the sect this time!
"If that's really the case, please do as you please, Leader Li."
After saying this, Ji Tianran didn't say anything else. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was going to sleep.
Yu Hanhai, who had a rather good impression of Wang Yan, really wanted to say something, but seeing Ji Tianran's reaction, he swallowed his words.
It wasn't just because Ji Tianran was the First Elder of the Hall of Elders, but also because Nie Feichen had clearly instructed him before.
It was fine if the people from the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild didn't come looking for them, but once they did, they would immediately cut ties with Wang Yan and expel him from the sect, no longer a disciple of the Sun Sect.
In other words, from the moment Li Wanhe stepped into the Sun Sect, Wang Yan was no longer a disciple of the Sun Sect!
