Pang Shiyuan had considered reattaching the severed legs of the corpse to his direct disciple, Sun Abe.
However, thinking back to the incident at the giant training ground, where Tan Yun had crippled Sun Abe's legs in front of everyone, it was clear that if he were to attach the legs back to Sun Abe's corpse now, it would inevitably be revealed that they belonged to someone else.
Such an action would certainly provoke the wrath of both humans and the divine, which worried Pang Shiyuan. Naturally, he would not allow Sun Abe to be reattached in such a manner.
At this moment, neither of them was aware of Tan Yun's death.
"Yes, it should be for that reason." Lu Wu's expression was grim as he replied, "Brother Pang, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but how could you cause such a huge uproar just by killing Tan Yun?"
"Now look, we’ve stirred up that wench Shen Subing." Lu Wu furrowed his brows, "Anyone with eyes can tell that the damage to the giant training ground was caused by a refining soul realm expert."
Upon hearing this, Pang Shiyuan was at a loss for words, "Brother Lu, I can’t go out like this! If someone sees me injured, they will definitely investigate me. By then, you might also get dragged into this."
Lu Wu said in a low voice, "How about this? I’ll go to the training ground. If Shen Subing asks about you, I’ll find a way to help you deal with it. Just to be safe, you should hide for now."
"Alright, thank you so much, Brother Lu..."
Five hours later, the sun was setting.
At this moment, the devastated training ground was filled with over sixty thousand disciples, all kneeling on the ground, gazing up at the Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda, where Shen Subing stood tall and menacing.
In front of the disciples, apart from Pang Shiyuan, the other ten elders and eighty deacons stood respectfully, looking up at Shen Subing.
A heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone, the training ground was eerily silent, only the whistling of the mountain wind could be heard.
Shen Subing was as cold as ice, looking down at the many elders in front of her, and coldly asked, "Where is Elder Three?"
Lu Wu stepped forward, "Reporting to the chief elder, Elder Three went to the Immortal Sect Danmai to visit his son, Pang Tong."
"Elder Twelve, why did Elder Three choose this moment to leave?" Shen Wende snorted coldly.
Shen Wende was suspicious that the person who killed Tan Yun was Lu Wu or Pang Shiyuan, as he had discussed it with Shen Qingfeng the previous night and knew that Tan Yun had crippled Sun Abe and humiliated Pang Shiyuan.
Of course, he had also informed Shen Subing of this matter. Shen Subing's first suspicion was indeed Lu Wu and Pang Shiyuan.
"Elder Six, I’m speaking to the chief elder, and you haven’t even been given the chance to speak yet?" Lu Wu smiled sarcastically, "Could it be that Elder Six wants to seize the position of chief elder in front of everyone? If not, then what are you? Coming here to question me!"
Lu Wu was not to be trifled with, and his words turned Shen Wende's face crimson!
"You..." Shen Wende started to speak but was interrupted by Shen Subing, "Wende, when the chief elder is asking questions, you shouldn't interrupt!"
"Yes, chief elder!" Shen Wende replied respectfully. In front of everyone, he naturally did not address her as 'miss'.
"Elder Twelve, how did you know that Elder Three went to the Inner Sect?" Shen Subing questioned with authority, "When did he go to the Inner Sect?"
"This little wench must know about the conflict between Elder Three and Tan Yun yesterday, and is deliberately asking me, trying to catch me off guard! Hmph, no way!" Lu Wu thought to himself, then bowed and said, "Reporting to the chief elder, yesterday at sunset, Elder Three sought me out. Because his son, Pang Tong, is a disciple of my father, he wanted me to speak favorably about his son in front of my father."
"After chatting with me for a moment, Elder Three then went to the Immortal Sect. Of course, if the chief elder doesn’t believe it, you can personally verify with my father."
