Gu Linfeng had acted too decisively . Discipline King Di Yuan didn't even have time to help . Before he'd died, Saint Hongyuan probably didn't expect that Gu Linfeng would have the guts to kill him either .
Discipline King Di Yuan shook in anger . Two bursts of cold air flooded out of his nostrils, making all the cultivators present shiver .
"Deity, do you know what the punishment for killing a Saint of the sect is?" His voice contained boundless murderous intent, but he tried his hardest to control his anger .
Zhang Ruochen flew down to the front of Gui Yuan Divine Palace . Standing beside Saint Hongyuan's body, he said fearlessly, "What punishment?"
"Death," Discipline King Di Yuan said .
"Oh!" Zhang Ruochen nodded nonchalantly and asked, "So what?"
Many cultivators were unhappy with Zhang Ruochen's actions . Even those Half-Saints and Saints who had no conflicts with him thought he was being too much . Saint Hongyuan only wanted to capture and imprison him, but he killed the Saint instead .
That was a Saint . How many Saints were in the entire Blood God Sect? How many resources were sacrificed to produce a Saint? How could he kill one just like that?
Every Saint stood at the peak of the cultivation world, and they were able to intimidate the other forces . Even the Hierarch had to provide an explanation for killing a Saint .
"His personality is too violent," a Saint elder said . "If he becomes the Hierarch, the Blood God Sect would never be in peace . "
Elder Yuan Gui, one of the six Saint elders, showed anger . "Killing a Saint is definitely a grave sin . We elders should now give our opinion . How about we revoke Gu Linfeng of the Deity status and disable his cultivation?"
He looked toward Elder Yuan Xing for his opinion . If the six elders voted unanimously, Gu Linfeng could be revoked of his title . It depended on Elder Yuan Xing now . After all, he was the most powerful in the Elder Pavilion .
Elder Yuan Xing sighed . His eyes were troubled and he felt indecisive . He actually still thought highly of Gu Linfeng, because he saw a shred of hope in him . He believed that if Gu Linfeng matured, he could lead the Blood God Sect out of despair and even to glory .
But now, it seemed that Gu Linfeng had a flaw . He was too violent and not suitable for the important position .
Was even the last shred of hope gone too?
Just as Elder Yuan Xing was still hesitating, Gu Linfeng laughed loudly . "Elder Yuan Gui, you wish to revoke me of my title so soon . Is it because you have a better option?"
"The Blood God Sect has no place for a Deity who kills his own people," Elder Yuan Gui said . "If someone like you matures, only disaster will find the sect . "
"Kill my own people? I don't dare to accept this accusation . " Zhang Ruochen shook his head and chuckled .
"That is the truth and you still dare to argue?" Discipline King Di Yuan roared . He didn't want to waste time with Zhang Ruochen anymore . He wanted to personally defeat him .
Many of the Half-Saints present grew gleeful . Gu Linfeng had angered a Discipline King and Saint elder at the same time . How could he stay alive today?
"I don't see how that is the truth," Zhang Ruochen said calmly . "You all didn't see the truth at all . "
With that, Zhang Ruochen lowered himself and opened Saint Hongyuan's robes . He searched along the back of the corpse .
"What is he doing? Destroying the corpse?"
"Are you stupid? What's the point of destroying the corpse? Did the Deity discover a secret?"
…
Everyone grew curious . They stared at Saint Hongyuan's corpse, wanting to know what Gu Linfeng was doing .
"Found it!"
Zhang Ruochen smiled . He hit the corpse's spine with a finger and the corpse shuddered violently . With a whoosh, a pair of huge red wings broke through the skin on the back .
Zhang Ruochen looked up at the various cultivators of Gui Yuan Divine Palace . "Do you see the truth now?" he asked, smiling .
Boom!
The upper level figures of the sect felt as if they'd been struck by lightning . An uproar spread through . No one could keep calm, including the Saint elders, Discipline Kings, and palace lords .
"A Vampire… Saint Hongyuan was actually an Immortal Vampire infiltrator . "
"Oh my! How could this be? Saint Hongyuan was the Criminal Law Saint . How could he be a Vampire?"
"He controlled justice, but he was a Vampire . How many disciples died unfairly in his hands each year? He must have sucked all their blood dry . "
All the disciples felt fear from the realization . They were also furious . Thinking carefully, they felt that many disciples had died unfairly in the Criminal Law Court each year . Most of them were probably turned into food for Saint Hongyuan .
"Thankfully, the Deity found him out . Otherwise, the Blood God Sect would suffer even more losses . "
That moment, the entire situation changed . All the cultivators that had stayed neutral saw Zhang Ruochen in a different light . No one in the sect realized that Saint Hongyuan was an infiltrator, but Gu Linfeng did and killed him . Could this not prove his abilities?
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were like daggers . "Discipline King Di Yuan, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"
Discipline King Di Yuan was furious at being demanded by a Pre-Saint . However, he also realized that this Gu Linfeng was difficult to deal with . He had to be careful so he wouldn't get tricked .
Forcing down his emotions, he said, "Saint Hongyuan is my disciple, but I didn't know this . I was fooled too . What, do you suspect that I'm also an infiltrator?"
"It could be possible," Zhang Ruochen said calmly .
Discipline King Haiming finally opened his eyes and chuckled . "Linfeng is indeed a bit unmannered, but his words are still logical . From what I know, Saint Hongyuan was able to become the Criminal Law Saint all because of Discipline King Di Yuan's support . How can you be free of suspicion?"
Discipline King Haiming really knows how to choose the right timing . He started going for me now . Discipline King Di Yuan's eyes narrowed . He realized this wasn't good .
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew that Discipline King Haiming also wanted to use this chance to defeat Discipline King Di Yuan . Even if he couldn't kill Di Yuan, he still wanted to make him lose the chance to become the Hierarch .
So Zhang Ruochen should help him .
"Discipline King Di Yuan's cultivation is very advanced and you interact with Saint Hongyuan every day," he said . "There's no reason why you couldn't see that he's an Immortal Vampire, right?"
Di Yuan roared . "Who in the entire sect realized that he was a Vampire, other than you? Speaking of, I would like to know how you could tell his identity with your cultivation . "
Zhang Ruochen had learned some spells from the Vampire Secrets, but he hadn't reached the point of seeing through the disguise of a Vampire Saint so easily . He'd made this realization when he discovered some tiny flaws in the earlier battle .
Zhang Ruochen knew that the other infiltrators present would want to know the answer to Discipline King Di Yuan's question too . Thus, he released his Spiritual Power to check everyone's expressions . He memorized each one who had an odd expression .
At the same time, he said slowly, "I have indeed learned a secret technique to distinguish Vampire infiltrators . "
"Really?" Discipline King Di Yuan said coldly . "Can the Deity please reveal that technique? This way, we can be guarded against infiltrators in the future . "
"The secret is…" Zhang Ruochen purposely dragged out his words to check everyone's expression . Half a beat later, he finally said, "Investigate carefully . "
"Investigate carefully?"
What kind of secret was that? The cultivators present all thought that Gu Linfeng was tricking them and lying .
The Vampires' force was very strong in the Blood God Sect . If Zhang Ruochen had really revealed the Vampire Secrets, it might immediately lead to a war . By then, even if the Blood God Sect was able to kill all the Immortal Vampires, they would still suffer great losses .
Plus, Zhang Ruochen wasn't clear just how large the Immortal Vampire force was yet . What if the Vampires destroyed the Blood God Sect instead?
He couldn't take that risk . He could only go slowly and steadily, taking out the Vampires one step at a time .
"No matter what," Elder Yuan Xing finally said . "This must have something to do with Discipline King Di Yuan . For the following days, I hope Discipline King Di Yuan can spend a few days in the Elder Pavilion . You have no complaints, correct?"
Di Yuan obviously knew that "spend a few days" meant imprisonment . He wouldn't be allowed to interact with the outer world .
Under the current situation, he had no choice at all . He could only agree .
That damn Gu Linfeng . I will rip you to shreds one day . He clenched his fists, anger rising up in waves within him .
Once he was imprisoned in the Elder Pavilion, he would lose the ability to fight for the Hierarch position .
Next, Elder Yuan Xing issued another command to the ten top cultivators . They must capture the cultivators that Saint Hongyuan had interacted with . Not a single one could be missed .
Saint Hongyuan's reveal would cause a chain effect . To the Blood God Sect, it would definitely be earth-shaking . One could also see from this just how powerful a Saint was .
Zhang Ruochen dug out Saint Hongyuan's saintly source . He also put away the Fire Bone Chain, wrapping it around his right hand . Looking at the saint corpse on the ground, his eyes brightened .
"It would be good material for producing blood runes," he mumbled to himself .
Carrying the headless corpse, he strode into Gui Yuan Divine Palace . "Don't just stand there . If you want to hold the elder council, please continue . If you wish to continue judging me, you can do so as well . "
Seeing Gu Linfeng walk in with the headless saintly corpse, sweat beaded on Shangguan Xianyan's snow-white forehead . It felt like Gu Linfeng was warning her or preparing to kill her .
As Gu Linfeng walked closer, Shangguan Xianyan's heart almost jumped into her throat . She clenched her fists tightly . She felt like she would break down soon .
Even she didn't know why she was so scared of Gu Linfeng .
Perhaps Gu Linfeng killing Wei Longxing and Saint Hongyuan had left a deep impression on her, scarring her with the cruel image .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
