Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 498 News from the Sect

Wu Ming's heart tightened, realizing that the matter might not be simple, and he quickly activated the formation as he was told.

As the formation was activated, the surrounding space seemed to become solemn.

Wu Ming said softly to Wang Zongyuan, "Brother, the formation has been activated. It's absolutely safe here now. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"

"Liu Qingquan is dead, Junior Brother, did you know that? This matter has caused a big stir in the sect."

Wang Zongyuan spoke in a serious tone, staring at Wu Ming intently, trying to find a clue from his face.

"Ah, Liu Qingquan died? When did this happen?"

When Wu Ming heard the news, he was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was happy about the news.

But he quickly stopped smiling and said with a sad look on his face.

Wang Zongyuan had been observing Wu Ming's expression. Seeing his reaction, he couldn't help but wonder: Was I wrong? Was Wu Ming really not responsible for Liu Qingquan's incident?

After all, although there is hatred between Junior Brother Wu Ming and Liu Qingquan, it may not be easy for Junior Brother Wu Ming to kill Liu Qingquan with his current strength.

Moreover, Junior Brother Wu Ming has only entered the Foundation Establishment stage for a few years, while Liu Qingquan has been in the middle Foundation Establishment stage for some time. The gap in strength between the two is still quite obvious.

Even if Junior Brother Wu Ming has this idea, he probably doesn't have enough strength to implement it.

Thinking of this, Wang Zongyuan decided to remind Wu Ming first.

So he said to Wu Ming with a solemn expression, "Junior Brother, regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with you, it is indeed very troublesome. You must completely sever all ties with it."

Wu Ming seemed puzzled after hearing Wang Zongyuan's words. He asked doubtfully, "Brother, Liu Qingquan is just an inner disciple of the sect. Why is he in such trouble? There haven't been many inner disciples who have died in the sect, and we haven't seen any special reaction from the sect."

As far as he knew, Qingyun Sect, as a large sect with a long history and profound heritage, had a large number of inner disciples, at least hundreds or even thousands.

Within the sect, he often heard news about the unfortunate deaths of certain senior brothers, but these events did not seem to cause much waves or disturbance.

Therefore, Wu Ming was somewhat puzzled by the turmoil caused by Liu Qingquan's death in the sect.

Wang Zongyuan smiled faintly and explained, "Junior Brother, you don't know this. Every inner disciple is as important as the foundation of the sect. Although they don't hold the same high positions as the true disciples and elders, they are still an indispensable part of the sect."

Generally speaking, the sect will not hold disciples accountable only for those who died on the battlefield or in an open and honest manner.

After all, combat itself is full of uncertainty and cannot be without risk."

He paused, then continued, "But if an inner sect disciple dies under unclear circumstances, the sect will definitely send someone to investigate. These investigators will either be fellow inner sect disciples or the sect's stewards.

They will do their best to find out the truth of the matter, give an explanation to the deceased, and also deter the monks outside."

Wu Ming nodded thoughtfully, as if understanding something. Although there were many inner disciples, they were also the foundation of the sect. It was impossible for them to be killed at will by outsiders.

Wang Zongyuan continued, “However, the deaths of ordinary sect disciples are relatively minor and will not cause such a big stir as the murder of Liu Qingquan.

Therefore, most sect disciples are unaware of the investigation process behind these matters."

When Wu Ming heard this, his heart tightened. He realized that his previous thoughts were indeed too naive and hasty.

Revenge is not an easy thing, and his previous actions were obviously a bit reckless.

However, despite this, he does not regret his decision.

Because Liu Qingquan's existence is not just an enemy to him, but also a serious threat to his life. It is like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart, becoming his inner demon.

If it is not removed, it will not only pose a threat to the safety of himself and his relatives and friends, but will also be an obstacle to his cultivation advancement.

Therefore, Liu Qingquan must die.

"So that's it..."

Wu Ming muttered to himself, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

He turned to look at Wang Zongyuan and continued to ask, "But Brother, why did Liu Qingquan's matter become such a big deal?"

He hoped to gain a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of this matter so as to better prepare for what might happen next and avoid being caught off guard.

When Wang Zongyuan heard Wu Ming's question, his heart sank.

He knew about the grudges and hatred between Wu Ming and Liu Qingquan, and that he was also involved in it.

There were also conflicts between him and Liu Qingquan, so he was very clear about the hatred between the two.

He was especially clear about the incident of Liu Qingquan attacking Junior Brother Wu Ming a few years ago.

If it weren't for his good fortune, he would have died and turned into a pile of yellow earth. He naturally knew that Wu Ming wanted revenge.

However, before this, when the news of Liu Qingquan's death was reported back to the sect, a true disciple in the sect became suspicious of him because of the conflict between him and Liu Qingquan, and came to inquire about him.

But after some investigation, it was found that he did not have the time to commit the crime, so the matter was left unresolved.

He was questioned by his true senior brother just because he had a conflict with Liu Qingquan, let alone his junior brother Wu Ming!

You know, there is an irreconcilable hatred between Wu Ming and Liu Qingquan, and everyone in the sect knows it well.

Now that Liu Qingquan has died suddenly and mysteriously, they will naturally not easily let go of Wu Ming, their disciple who has an obvious motive for committing the crime.

However, since the crime scene still had the aura of the Blood Evil Sect, which was the sect's mortal enemy, the sect's true disciples focused their investigation on the Blood Evil Sect cultivators, and had not yet directly approached Wu Ming.

In addition, Wu Ming was only a newly promoted inner disciple in the foundation-building stage, and he was not the peerless genius in the sect who could kill opponents above his level. With his strength, it was impossible for him to kill Liu Qingquan, who was in the middle stage of the foundation-building stage.

Taking all the above factors into consideration, the sect's true disciples have not yet conducted further investigation into Wu Ming.

However, if Junior Brother Wu Ming did not continue to ask questions at this moment, then he might really completely deny all the previous guesses in his mind.

However, at this moment, Wu Ming continued to ask questions, which made his original guess more likely to become a reality.
