Chapter 376

In the blink of an eye.

An hour passed.

In the City Lord Mansion.

Wu Yuanming started a massacre.

With Wei Wuxiu's appearance, the hidden people in the City Lord Mansion had already been exposed.

Wei Wuxiu died!

Those people, under Wu Yuanming's attack, had no means of resistance at all. In this short hour, all the betrayers dissipated like clay chickens and pottery dogs.

"Elder Lu, the matters of the City Lord Mansion have all been handled."

Wu Yuanming returned to the main hall.

Until this moment!

The strong shock in his heart had not yet been digested.

Killing a Great Saint Realm powerhouse with one blow!

Such combat power!

Even the supreme powerhouses of the Great Saint Perfection Realm might not be able to do it!

The entire Saint Martial Profound Sect!

I fear there is not one person!

But, the fact happened not long ago.

And the one who completed this was an Elder with only Saint Realm cultivation; this result is simply unheard of.

This world!

Is there really such a peerless genius with such combat power!

Able to fight across two realms?

Just as he was still shocked, Lu Li's voice came over again.

"City Lord Wu, Ziyun City is the first city under the jurisdiction of the Saint Martial Profound Sect, and all news exchanges must pass through here. I suppose you are very clear about everything happening in the Saint Martial Profound Sect now, right?"

Wang Xulong and others were ultimately just weak Martial Dao people who had not entered the Saint Realm.

And they were billions of miles away!

The news Lu Li got from their mouths was limited to some well-known things.

Those news!

Actually didn't matter!

Wanting to thoroughly understand what happened to the Saint Martial Profound Sect after Yuan Cheng's death, one must get it from truly key people.

This Wu Yuanming is one of them!

Wu Yuanming heard the inquiry, then suppressed the shock in his heart, and said: "Reporting to Elder Lu, the situation is not optimistic."

"What happened?" Lu Li asked.

"A few days ago, after the Sect Master's soul lamp was extinguished, the news was immediately transmitted out, the entire Saint Martial Profound Sect became panicked, and in these short few days, nearly half of the forces controlled by the Saint Martial Profound Sect have rebelled and defected to the embrace of other major forces."

Wu Yuanming smiled bitterly.

"News kept coming, I had already been extra careful, determined to guard this Ziyun City for the Saint Martial Profound Sect, but I didn't expect to still fall for the High Heaven Jade Gate's trick, betrayed by my rebellious son, and almost died in the City Lord Mansion."

"The situation is actually so severe!"

Lu Li's face sank.

He knew very well!

The Saint Martial Profound Sect has declined for hundreds of years!

Yet it still controls the top-tier cultivation resources left over from the Saint Martial Great Emperor era!

This is inherently a crime of harboring a jade!

So after the Saint Martial Great Emperor disappeared, the situation of the Saint Martial Profound Sect has always been severe, and major forces have been acting in secret, wanting to tear a piece of meat from the Saint Martial Profound Sect to strengthen themselves.

It was only Yuan Cheng's struggle to support!

That could allow the massive Saint Martial Profound Sect to be preserved until now!

Yuan Cheng died!

The Saint Martial Profound Sect will inevitably fall into violent turmoil!

This was already in Lu Li's imagination!

But he didn't expect those forces to be so impatient; he had thought that even if those forces took action, they would wait until things were thoroughly figured out before taking action.

Like this!

At least it would take a period of time!

But it had only been a few days, and they had already digested nearly half of the Saint Martial Profound Sect's subordinate forces. If he hadn't taken action in time, I fear this Ziyun City would have changed hands today.

"Hehe, if I had returned a few days later, I fear they would have even swallowed the Saint Martial Profound Sect."

Lu Li sneered coldly.

When Yuan Cheng helped him break through to the Emperor Realm, he had promised Yuan Cheng to protect the Saint Martial Profound Sect and let the Saint Martial Profound Sect continue to pass down.

Since he made a promise!

He must do it!

Those ghosts and monsters hidden behind the scenes must never be allowed to continue harming the Saint Martial Profound Sect.

"Yes, the sect has indeed reached a critical juncture."

Wu Yuanming also nodded heavily.

For these hundreds of years!

Except for the first few decades, the Saint Martial Profound Sect has been constantly eroded by other forces. Within the Saint Martial Profound Sect, a large number of rebellious people appeared; these were planned long ago and simply could not be prevented.

Otherwise, his own son would not have betrayed him.

"What else do you know?" Lu Li heard him speak like this and couldn't help but ask.

"Sect Master Yuan Cheng is dead. After a few days of discussion, the sect will select a new Sect Master in three days to appease the people. If those forces want to launch, that will be the best opportunity." Wu Yuanming said in a deep voice.

"In three days?"

Lu Li pondered for two moments.

The time is still enough.

It's just that for these hundreds of years, the forces hidden within the Saint Martial Profound Sect have been intertwined and complex, and he had joined the Saint Martial Profound Sect for too short a time, and couldn't figure it out at all for a while.

In this situation!

Even with heaven-reaching cultivation, it is not easy to handle.

Just thinking like this.

Wu Yuanming's voice came again.

"However, besides selecting a Sect Master in three days, there is one more thing that is most urgent, and that is three days ago, news came out that the Spirit-Appraising Profound Treasure was not destroyed by the Yi Huang."

"What do you mean?" Lu Li frowned.

"It means that after some discussion, Li Shenxian left the sect yesterday to find that Spirit-Appraising Profound Treasure." Wu Yuanming again revealed a face full of bitterness.

"What!"

Lu Li's face sank: "The sect is about to select a Sect Master, he left the sect at this moment, didn't he suspect it was a conspiracy of other forces?"

Yuan Cheng died!

As Yuan Cheng's direct disciple, Li Shenxian is the biggest candidate for the sect's successor.

Those hidden forces all want to swallow the Saint Martial Profound Sect at the fastest speed, so they must kill Li Shenxian and other Saint Martial Profound Sect high-level officials, and only then can they continue to act.

Li Shenxian still dared to leave the sect at this moment.

Simply not knowing life from death!

"I only learned this news not long ago."

Wu Yuanming took a deep breath.

"And according to my speculation, it should be a trap, because the matter of selecting a Sect Master was decided after Li Shenxian left the sect, otherwise, no matter how confused Li Shenxian was, he wouldn't have left the sect at this time."

"In that case, it should be the result of those hidden forces' careful planning."

Lu Li's gaze flickered uncertainly.

Long before he entered the Saint Martial Profound Sect, he had already been clear.

The forces hidden within the Saint Martial Profound Sect must have a powerful Emperor Clan.

Now it seems.

Sure enough, as expected.

Because the result of the previous battle was known only to him and the Yi Huang, and the only ones who could learn from the Yi Huang that the Spirit-Appraising Profound Treasure was not destroyed were the three Emperor Realm powerhouses who besieged the Yi Huang that day.

The identity is self-evident!

It's just that I don't know if this matter involved one of them, or if all three participated.

"Yes, it is indeed carefully planned."

Wu Yuanming smiled bitterly.

"But for Li Shenxian, this is an unavoidable open conspiracy. The Spirit-Appraising Profound Treasure is the sect-protecting treasure of the Saint Martial Profound Sect, and it is the key to finding the Saint Martial Great Emperor. Since it was not destroyed, then as the Sect Master's direct disciple, Li Shenxian must find it, otherwise, he cannot talk about inheriting the Sect Master position."
