Boom!
Xue An’s words caused a severe commotion amongst the crowd.
"Good heavens, has this guy lost his mind? How dare he speak to the Sect Leader like that?"
"He’s completely ignorant of his own insignificance! Does he really think that by killing Fu Guang, he can become invincible? Little does he know, there’s always someone better; the Sect Leader is indeed the number one in our sect!"
"Hmph, seeking death! With such provocative words, the Sect Leader will certainly fly into a rage!"
These murmurs were basically coming from those who had always looked at Xue An with disfavor.
Sheng Manyu and the others felt the same way.
Amongst the crowd, only Sheng Miaotong kept watching Xue An with a worried look, her heart tightening into a knot.
Young Master Xue, you mustn’t let anything happen to you!
As expected by the crowd, Xiu Wen, upon hearing Xue An’s words, truly exploded in fury.
His white eyebrows furrowed, eyes bulging with anger, he spoke with an icy chill in his voice.
"Boy, I’ve been lenient towards you due to your coming from the Hua Clan and having decent talent and cultivation level. But don’t push your luck!"
"Oh? So you know that I’m from the Hua Clan. Then let me ask you, is our Hua Clan’s dao used as a tool for your extortion and mistreatment?" Xue An’s voice was cold as ice as he sternly questioned.
"You..." Xiu Wen took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the rage in his heart, and spoke with a cold tone, "I admit we have our flaws, but that doesn’t justify your impulsive misbehavior, or killing my beloved disciple without understanding the full story!"
Xue An laughed, a reckless and wild laugh, then lifted his hand to point at everyone in the plaza, "I’ve seen everything with my own eyes, yet in your mouth, it turned into a frivolous ’we have our flaws’? On the other hand, you accuse me of acting recklessly without distinguishing right from wrong?"
With that, Xue An revealed a chilling smile, his tone turning frosty as he said, "And so I killed him, what are you going to do about it?"
Such words were like a scoop of cold water plunged into a pot of boiling oil, instantly causing the entire place to erupt.
Sheng Manyu scoffed coldly, "Courting death!"
In her eyes, Xue An’s unabashed arrogance was tantamount to asking for death, especially since he was challenging none other than Sect Leader Xiu Wen and the entire Golden Cauldron Pavilion.
However, Sheng Miaotong didn’t think the same. She covered her mouth tightly, her big eyes full of admiration as she gazed upon the figure of Xue An standing on the high platform.
Especially when she saw the wild smile on Xue An’s face, she felt weak all over, and only one thought remained in her mind.
So badass!
Meanwhile.
Elder Shui Jing, seeing that the moment was ripe, crawled forward a few steps and paid respectful obeisance to Xiu Wen, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Then, before others could react, she turned towards Xue An with a fierce look, and said with hatred, "Boy, you killed our chief, and you’ve uttered madness. Today, our Golden Cauldron Pavilion will surely annihilate you."
As she spoke, a contented gleam filled Shui Jing’s eyes, and her heart overflowed with joy as she thought.
Burn! The fiercer the fire, the better!
If anyone in the place was delighted by Fu Guang’s death, it had to be her.
Because in terms of status and position, she was the most likely candidate to become the next Sect Leader.
That’s why she was so eager to jump out and show herself.
But her smugness did not last long, not even for a single breath, as all her plans and ambitions dissolved into nothingness.
Because at that moment, Xue An slightly furrowed his brow and coldly said, "Babble!"
As he spoke, Xue An reached out with his hand.
Despite the great distance between them, his clenching gesture seemed to cross the barriers of space-time, arriving mysteriously above Shui Jing’s head.
With a dull thud,
Shui Jing’s head burst open in an explosion, and along with it, her spirit shattered.
With one move, Sheng Shuijing, after hundreds of years of careful planning and having only just become the Great Elder of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion, was annihilated, both body and soul!
Her headless corpse trembled slightly, as if in reluctance, but eventually, it helplessly collapsed into the dust.
Such a brutal strike left everyone nearby petrified.
