Chapter 664

However, Lu Tianchen personally took action last night and didn't find him, so it was even more impossible now. The only person he feared was Lu Tianchen.

After eating, Xu Yang returned to the courtyard, and nothing happened.

The next day, he heard that the birthday celebration team had set off again. Perhaps worried about being attacked again, it was said that Young Sect Master Bai Shaoling and the Fire Peak Master personally led the team to rush to the Haisha Sect to celebrate the birthday.

That day, the Profound Heaven Sect became busy.

After all, it was an Elder who died, not an ordinary disciple; it was impossible to just find a place to bury him and be done with it.

Liu Qingyuan's funeral was grand, and it wasn't held until half a month later. During this period, the Profound Heaven Sect kept investigating the murderer.

It was said that several Elders who were not at the Profound Heaven Sect that day, as well as the Heavenly Origin martial artists of those great families in Qingyang City, had all been investigated, but the murderer still hadn't been found.

On the day of Liu Qingyuan's funeral, all the famous figures in Qingyang City came to mourn. Liu Qingyuan's friends before his death and sects that had a good relationship with the Profound Heaven Sect were also notified by the Profound Heaven Sect.

As one of the Ten Elites of the Profound Heaven Sect, Xu Yang had also defeated the genius disciple Lin Jingyu of the Yellow Maple Valley, and now he could be considered one of the face figures of the Profound Heaven Sect. For Liu Qingyuan's funeral, the Profound Heaven Sect arranged for him, Han Feng, Xiong Kun, and others to be responsible for reception.

As for Li Chuyang and Jiang Fan, they didn't appear at all.

A funeral for someone of Liu Qingyuan's status didn't qualify for them to come out and receive guests.

Besides these three geniuses, there were also Gao Lin, Sun Jian, Cui Mingchong, and other disciples who might take over the position of Elder in the future, as well as the Outer Sect Elder Li Songhe.

At this moment, a group of people stood outside the mountain gate, welcoming the guests who came to mourn one by one.

For those with insufficient status, they were casually arranged for an Inner Sect disciple to take them to Fire Peak. For those with high status, Xu Yang, Gao Lin, and others with status had to come out themselves to show importance.

Xu Yang and Gao Lin were chatting when they suddenly saw two dusty figures rushing over on the mountain road.

The two looked slow in speed, but in fact, they were as fast as the wind, able to cross more than ten zhang in one step.

The two were a middle-aged man and a man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, wearing plain robes, their figures as straight as swords, with a sharp aura, like two swords walking on the mountain road.

The most attractive thing was the large sword wider than a palm behind the two, all pitch-black, as if they had been poured from the same mold.

"It's people from the Iron Sword Sect!" Sun Jian's pupils shrank, recognizing the opponent's origin from the two's attire.

The Iron Sword Sect was a sect even stronger than the Profound Heaven Sect, and the county city where it was located had a martial arts scene far more prosperous than Fufeng County.

"I heard that Elder Liu Qingyuan had a friendship with an Elder of the Iron Sword Sect; it seems to be true." Gao Lin said.

In an instant, the two figures from the Iron Sword Sect arrived before the mountain gate of the Profound Heaven Sect.

"How could my brother Liu meet with disaster?" Jiang Wang stepped forward, his face full of grief.

Li Songhe cupped his hands: "Brother Jiang, please restrain your grief. Elder Liu was ambushed and killed by a thief on the way to lead the team to the Haisha Sect to celebrate the birthday of the Haisha Sect Master."

"Was the murderer found?" Jiang Wang said in a deep voice: "No matter who it is, daring to harm my brother Liu's life, I will definitely smash him into ten thousand pieces."

Li Songhe shook his head: "The murderer's identity has not been found. If it were found, our Profound Heaven Sect would have already poured out in full strength. It's windy here, Brother Jiang, please move to Heavenly Authority Peak to mourn Elder Liu first; other matters can be discussed later."

Jiang Wang nodded, pointing to the young man beside him: "This is my disciple Huo Xiaochen. Xiaochen, this is the Outer Sect Elder Li Songhe of the Profound Heaven Sect. His eyes are extremely poisonous, and his ability to recognize people is the best in the Profound Heaven Sect. The Ten Elites list of the Profound Heaven Sect is all ranked by him, and it almost never makes a mistake. Quickly greet Senior Li."

Huo Xiaochen had a tall and straight figure, and upon hearing this, he cupped his hands neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Junior Huo Xiaochen greets Senior Li."

Li Songhe looked at Huo Xiaochen with suspicion: "What a dragon-like and tiger-like physique, with divine brilliance restrained. Brother Jiang, this disciple of yours is not simple. The root bone should be at the perfection level, close to a Spirit Bone genius."

A look of surprise appeared on Huo Xiaochen's face. This Li Songhe was worthy of his master Jiang Wang's praise; he really had some skills.

Being able to see that he was a perfection root bone without touching the bones, Li Songhe was the first.

After a few pleasantries, Li Songhe pointed to Cui Mingchong and Xiong Kun, leading Jiang Wang and Huo Xiaochen toward Heavenly Authority Peak.
