Hua Tiandu's strength was well known to Hua Sheng. He was the most talented disciple of the Liu Xian Sect and one of the three great prodigies of Xuan Prefecture. While it was somewhat believable that he could be plotted against and killed by the five nations, the thought of being slain by a sixteen-year-old boy was simply unbelievable.
"Master, could it be the work of Di Xin City and Tianheng Academy?"
Hua Sheng furrowed his brows. He heard that people from Tianheng Academy and Di Xin City, as well as other powerful forces from Xuan Prefecture, had also gone over. Could these people have ulterior motives, killing Hua Tiandu while pushing the blame onto the five nations?
Thinking of this, Hua Sheng increasingly felt it was possible. This time, the one who took Tiandu over was Elder Ge Xuan from within the sect. With the latter's late-stage Wuzong cultivation, how could those guys from the five nations pose a threat to Tiandu? After all, that was a place so remote it didn’t even have Wuzong.
Di Xuan, hearing Hua Sheng's words, knew that Hua Sheng had drifted off into other thoughts. With a bitter smile, he said, "Vice Sect Master Hua, I understand your feelings. Tiandu is the most talented disciple among our younger generation in Liu Xian Sect. I, too, am heartbroken by the news of his fall. Moreover, Ge Xuan is also a core elder of our Liu Xian Sect. However, the one who killed him was indeed a young man from the five nations, named Qin Chen. It is said that he was the champion of the Ancient Southern Capital competition, and even Di Tianyi and Leng Wushuang were no match for him."
As Di Xuan spoke, he handed the transmitted message to Hua Sheng.
Although the members of Liu Xian Sect had already been wiped out at the Ancient Southern Capital ruins, given the strength of Liu Xian Sect, they could easily learn about the situation at that time.
"What? The Ancient Southern Capital ruins were actually so terrifying, and that Qin Chen... Moreover, the Blood Demon Cult, which had been extinguished for a thousand years, has actually reignited?"
Seeing the information inside, Hua Sheng was shaken to his core. He had just been awakened from seclusion to learn of his son’s fall, yet he never expected such events to occur among the five nations.
"Bang!"
A palm slammed hard onto the table, startling all the elders present, making them jump. Hua Sheng's face turned grim, radiating a chilling light, resembling a ravenous wolf.
After waiting for Hua Sheng to vent for a while, Di Xuan spoke again, "Vice Sect Master Hua, please calm down. We also never anticipated Tiandu's fall. But rest assured, Tiandu is the most cherished genius among our younger generation in Liu Xian Sect. If we do not avenge this grudge, how can our Liu Xian Sect stand in the Great Wei Dynasty? I promise, regardless of who the opponent is, our sect will definitely seek justice for Tiandu and tear them to pieces."
After all, Di Xuan was the sect master of Liu Xian Sect. With him saying this, even if Hua Sheng was still angry, he had to restrain himself.
Hua Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly send people to the five nations and find that Qin Chen. Furthermore, Qin Chen should be from the Great Qi Nation among the five nations. How dare he kill a disciple of Liu Xian Sect? If Liu Xian Sect doesn’t wash the blood of the five nations, how will others see us?"
Di Xuan's expression changed, "Hua Sheng, don’t be impulsive. This time, there are people from the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Holy Land in the five nations, strictly prohibiting any forces from Xuan Prefecture from taking action against the five nations. If you act recklessly, once the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Holy Land get angry..."
"Are we just going to let it go? That Qin Chen killed so many of my Liu Xian Sect disciples. What qualification do the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Holy Land have to interfere with us?" Hua Sheng said angrily.
Di Xuan smiled bitterly, "There’s one more piece of information you don’t know. Before Qin Chen made his move, Ge Xuan and the others had already stated that this matter was a private grievance between Liu Xian Sect and Qin Chen. Not only Liu Xian Sect, but also the other forces like Tianying Valley and Shanhe Sect that were destroyed are in the same situation. This means we have no right to take action against the five nations. Moreover, people from the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Holy Land were present at that time. If our Liu Xian Sect really wanted to act, the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Holy Land would find an excuse to intervene. What’s worse, if the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Holy Land speaks out, those forces from Xuan Prefecture would seize the opportunity to target us."
