At the Azure Cloud Sect Headquarters, a heavy atmosphere filled the air, and a gloomy killing intent loomed like dark clouds over the Council Hall in the Center of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Are you saying that Chen Qiao was killed by those two little beasts?"
On the dais, the Grand Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect, Chen Buren, glared with brutal killing intent at the disciple kneeling below him.
The disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect quickly knelt down, repeatedly bowing his head, his voice trembling as he spoke:
"Yes... it was one of my Azure Cloud Eagles that saw... saw the Great Protector being killed by those two young men."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a force like a storm erupted from Chen Buren's body, sending the kneeling disciple flying backward.
The disciple crashed against the wall of the hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
However, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly crawled back to the floor of the hall, trembling as he awaited Chen Buren's words.
Beside him, the Azure Cloud Sect Master, Azure Maple, furrowed his brow slightly upon seeing this. However, he said nothing more because he understood that Chen Buren was in a fit of rage; even he, as the sect master, would find it difficult to stop him.
Chen Qiao was Chen Buren's biological son. Now that Chen Qiao had been slain, one could imagine the fury and killing intent burning within Chen Buren.
"Draw me their appearances! If there is even a slight deviation, I will ensure you have no place to be buried!" Chen Buren said ominously to the kneeling disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.
The kneeling disciple trembled all over and hurriedly took paper and brush to depict what his Azure Cloud Eagle had witnessed. He then respectfully handed it to Chen Buren.
Chen Buren took a glance at the portrait and directly announced:
"From today onwards, the entire Azure Cloud Sect will jointly hunt down the individuals in this portrait. Whoever can bring me the heads of these two will become the Grand Protector of the Azure Cloud Sect!"
Immediately, the Azure Cloud Sect was in an uproar. It was believed that countless martial artists would rush towards Aotian like moths to a flame for the position of Grand Protector.
Azure Maple did not stop this, as he understood that Murong Qian was not comparable to Chen Qiao. If the former's fall had enraged Chen Buren, then the latter's demise would drive him to madness.
If he intervened, it would not solve the problem and might even provoke a conflict with the Grand Elder. Moreover, the fact that someone dared to kill the Grand Protector of Azure Cloud Sect within its territory made Azure Maple very displeased, feeling as if he had been publicly slapped in the face.
Fortunately, Aoling was not in Azure Cloud Sect at that moment but had gone to Ning City. Otherwise, if she saw the two individuals in the portrait, she would definitely recognize one of them as Aotian.
Thus, countless martial artists surged out from Azure Cloud Sect in search of Aotian's whereabouts...
In Azure Wind City, within the Purple Gold Chamber.
At this moment, an inscrutable old man stood respectfully beside Purple Spirit Cloud, reporting:
"Miss, we have received the latest news. The person who bid for Triple Pill and Gourmet Blood has killed Murong Qian and Chen Qiao of Azure Cloud Sect."
Upon hearing this, Purple Spirit Cloud did not show any surprise. She continued to pop a cherry into her mouth and chewed for a moment before saying:
"The Azure Cloud Sect must be furious about this."
The old man nodded in agreement.
"Not bad!"
Saying this, the old man reported the reaction of the Azure Cloud Sect to Purple Spirit Cloud.
Finally, with a tone of confusion, the old man asked, "Miss, should we offer that little fellow some assistance? After all, this is the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect, which is not favorable for him."
Purple Spirit Cloud continued to pick up a cherry from the bowl on the table beside her and placed it in her mouth, saying, "No need. We can just watch quietly. If he unfortunately falls into the hands of the Azure Cloud Sect, then I will consider it a misjudgment on my part. However, if he does not fall into their hands..."
"If he doesn't fall, should we report his information to headquarters?" the old man asked.
"No need; we still need to observe for a while..." Purple Spirit Cloud said lightly.
"Yes, Miss..." The old man replied respectfully and then withdrew.
"Hehe, little brother, you must not disappoint your sister..." Purple Spirit Cloud placed the last cherry from the plate into her mouth.
Deep within Xuantian Academy.
Vice Principal Lin Chaoqun approached Principal Xue Haoyang and said, "Principal, Aotian is in danger within the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect. Should we extend a helping hand?"
Xue Haoyang pondered for a moment without responding, instead turning to the Grand Elder Cheng Yuanshan and asking, "Grand Elder, what do you think?"
Aotian was introduced to the academy by Cheng Yuanshan, so Xue Haoyang naturally sought Cheng Yuanshan's opinion.
Cheng Yuanshan squinted slightly, a flicker of contemplation passing through his eyes before he said, "Don't worry about him. I believe that young man can make it out of the northern part of Fengyun Nation."
After exchanging glances with Lin Chaoqun, Xue Haoyang nodded in agreement.
"Focus on the Underworld Society. I have a feeling that the long-quiet Fengyun Nation is about to be stirred up because of the Underworld Society," Cheng Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
When the Underworld Society was mentioned, a complex expression flashed in Xue Haoyang's eyes. It seemed to contain resentment, joy, nostalgia, but mostly it was filled with killing intent.
Lin Chaoqun glanced at Xue Haoyang, then nodded and exited the main hall.
Meanwhile, within Fengyun Nation, other top forces were also engaged in discussions about Aotian...
Regardless of the circumstances, Aotian's actions within the Azure Cloud Sect's territory had already spread thoroughly among the top forces of Fengyun Nation...
At this moment, on a hill in the northern part of Fengyun Nation, Aotian was joyfully holding a Storage Ring, which belonged to Chen Qiao.
After Chen Qiao's death, Aotian certainly would not let go of his Storage Ring. The items stored within it truly astonished Aotian.
There are millions of Mysterious Origin Stones alone, along with various martial arts items. According to Aotian's estimation, the value of this Storage Ring could be exchanged for nearly ten million Mysterious Origin Stones.
This is undoubtedly an astronomical sum.
As Chen Qiao serves as the Grand Guardian of the Azure Cloud Sect, he is naturally well-versed in the martial arts techniques of the Azure Cloud Sect. All of these are stored within his Storage Ring.
Of course, what truly caught Aotian's eye was the Azure Mountain Suppression Seal. This set of martial arts is classified as high-grade low-tier and ranks among the top in the Azure Cloud Sect.
Aotian certainly had no reason to overlook such martial arts that could enhance his combat power.
In addition, Aotian also acquired a Fire Cloud Whip. As for the Dragon's Ascendancy martial arts, it was not found in Chen Qiao's Storage Ring. It seems that this set of martial arts is regarded as a sect-defending technique within the Azure Cloud Sect. Therefore, even Chen Qiao would not have been able to take the martial arts manual out of the sect.
At this moment, Aotian was flipping through a manual that recorded the Azure Mountain Suppression Seal.
Just as Aotian was carefully studying this set of martial arts, Niu Geng suddenly whispered to him:
"Boss, there's the sound of fighting."
Aotian was slightly taken aback and then shifted his attention from the manual to listen carefully to the sounds around him.
Sure enough, not far away, there were faint sounds of Mystical Energy colliding and angry shouts echoing.
"Let's go check it out!"
Aotian said to Niu Geng, then put away the manual and headed toward the source of the noise...
"Don't go too far, Azure Cloud Sect. Even if I can't defeat you, I'll make sure to knock out a couple of your teeth!" A voice, though somewhat aged, was filled with anger.
"Haha, you old fool who's half buried in the ground, what right do you have to make us Azure Cloud Sect lose our teeth? You're truly overestimating yourself!" Another voice, also somewhat aged, but full of disdain, replied.
"Why must you Azure Cloud Sect push me so hard? I haven't taken any Gourmet Blood; it's better for us to keep our distance and not interfere with each other."
It turned out that the elder being hunted by Azure Cloud Sect was the Lean Old Man who had previously attempted to seize Gourmet Blood from Murong Qian.
The elder confronting the Lean Old Man was none other than Fan Lian, the Second Elder of Azure Cloud Sect.
"Fan Lian, know that a cornered dog will jump over the wall. While I may not be able to inflict significant harm on your Azure Cloud Sect, do you not fear the Sun Family pursuing this matter?" The Lean Old Man shouted angrily upon seeing Fan Lian still displaying murderous intent towards him.
Sure enough, upon hearing the Lean Old Man's words, Fan Lian fell silent.
The Sun Family was a considerable force in the western part of Fengyun Nation. Although they could not compare to top-tier powers like Azure Cloud Sect within Fengyun Nation, their strength was still quite formidable.
The Lean Old Man was a member of the Sun Family. If the Sun Family learned that this old man had died at the hands of Azure Cloud Sect, they would likely not let it go easily.
At that time, if the Sun Family were to expend all their efforts for revenge on behalf of this old man, it would inevitably cause significant damage to Azure Cloud Sect. Other forces within Fengyun Nation would likely become restless as well.
However, Fan Lian had also received orders from the Grand Elder to kill this old man to uphold Azure Cloud Sect's authority and make it clear that their possessions were not something anyone could take.
Just as Fan Lian found himself in a dilemma, Aotian and Niu Geng had already arrived at the edge of the battlefield between the two. However, they did not immediately intervene; instead, they hid nearby, seemingly waiting for both sides to weaken each other before reaping the benefits.
Suddenly, Second Elder Fan Lian seemed to remember something and sneered:
"Sun Jing, you don't need to threaten me. The Grand Elder's personal disciple has already taken people to the western part of Fengyun Nation, specifically to annihilate your Sun Family."
Sun Jing seemed to have anticipated Fan Lian's words and replied calmly, "Fan Lian, don't act tough. Aoling's trip to the western part of Fengyun Nation is entirely for Ning City Aojia and has nothing to do with my Sun Family."
Fan Lian's expression changed slightly, seemingly surprised that the Sun Family's intelligence network was so formidable, able to uncover the true purpose of Aoling's journey to the western part of Fengyun Nation.
Meanwhile, Aotian, who was hidden nearby, turned pale upon hearing their conversation. Although he didn't know why Aoling had brought people to Ning City Aojia, he suspected it couldn't be good news for his father.
After all, Aoling's father had long coveted the position of head of the Aojia family, and it was highly likely that Aoling's trip to Aojia was to assist her father in seizing that position...
