In his later years, he was backstabbed by his third wife, and he awakened the Wei Xiaobao system

On this day, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Dayu Kingdom.

Gu Hanshan, the leader of Luoyun Sect, died in the middle of the night!

When the news came out, the whole country of Dayu was shocked.

Why did Sect Leader Luo Yun suddenly die out of the blue?

too suddenly!

There wasn't even a single sign beforehand.

And why did he fall at this sensitive time when the Great Yu Kingdom was in turmoil?

Are there other things involved here?

For a moment, monks from all sides were discussing the matter.

"First, the king fell, and now even the leader of the Luoyun Sect has fallen. Our Great Yu Kingdom has lost two powerful people in succession within a month!"

"Tsk tsk, what an eventful time."

"The Luoyun Sect is probably suffering a great loss of vitality and the people are in a state of panic."

"The Great Yu Kingdom is about to change!"

"Could it be that the structure of the four major sects and the three aristocratic families is about to completely change?"

......

The Luoyun Sect did not deliberately conceal the news of the Sect Leader's death, nor did the people panic and suffer severe damage as outsiders imagined.

Although the death of the sect leader did have a great impact on the morale of the sect members, Luoyun Sect was, after all, a sect with profound heritage, and the battle that night made everyone in the sect excited.

Therefore, while the sect leader's death saddened everyone in the sect, it also served to inspire people.

In the eyes of everyone in the sect, the sect leader fought to the last moment to protect the sect, and risked his life to eliminate a great threat to the sect.

Nor did he let anyone from the sect die that night.

As the sect leader, he protected everyone and fulfilled his responsibilities as the leader of a sect.

Died heroically!

Died heroically!

A memorable death!

Moreover, before his death, Gu Hanshan had already made proper arrangements for his afterlife.

He did not let the sect fall into chaos because of his death.

Li Qingfeng held the Jade Order of the Sect Leader and after discussing with the Great Elder Qi Yuanshan, they decided to nominate the Sect Leader's wife Ning Qingshuang to temporarily take over the position of Sect Leader.

This is the most appropriate choice.

Although Han Yinyue had already been chosen as the successor to the next sect leader, her cultivation had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, and her lack of qualifications made it difficult for her to convince others.

Only Ning Qingshuang is the most suitable.

She will temporarily take over the position of sect leader, and when Han Yinyue enters the Nascent Soul stage, she will pass the position of sect leader to Han Yinyue.

The elders had no objection to this decision, and the two supreme elders who were at the end of their energy would not have any objection.

They are all old and dying, and they just want to stay in charge of the sect before they die and try to take some risks for the sect. As for who the sect leader is, they don’t care too much.

In this way, Ning Qingshuang officially sat on the throne of the sect leader.

She wants to protect Luoyun Sect in place of her husband.

After the candidate for the sect leader was determined, the next step was to hold a funeral for Gu Hanshan.

After all, he was the leader of a sect and such a famous person in the Great Yu Kingdom. He should have a decent funeral after his death.

The entire clan was busy preparing for the funeral.

And they are preparing to invite people from all walks of life in Dayu Kingdom to mourn Gu Hanshan.

The date of the funeral was set seven days later.

But whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, the funeral of the late King Yang Jian of Dayu was also held seven days later.

The two funerals happened to coincide with each other.

This is bound to lead to a very embarrassing situation.

There are only so many prominent figures in the Dayu Kingdom, and we all see them every day. Which of these two funerals should we go to?

One is the king of Dayu.

One is the leader of Luoyun Sect.

Their status and reputation during their lifetime were almost the same, and the scale of their funerals was extraordinary.

It would feel inappropriate to be absent from either side.

......

In Luoyun Sect, white sails are hoisted high and everyone is in mourning.

Gu Hanshan's funeral is being prepared in an orderly manner.

Although a funeral was to be held, the operation of the sect was not affected at all.

Especially for the disciples, although they can feel the sad atmosphere, their daily practice remains the same.

The ones who are really busy are the senior figures of the sect.

At this moment, in the sect's main hall, the sect's top leaders, including Li Qingfeng, gathered here.

They were all discussing the matter because two funerals were happening at the same time.

Ning Qingshuang was dressed in mourning clothes and sat on the sect leader's throne. She looked a little haggard. Although she tried to look energetic, she obviously had not recovered from the grief of losing her husband.

I have to say, the saying that if you want to look pretty in filial piety is true.

Ning Qingshuang, who is already extremely beautiful, now looks so pitiful sitting there in mourning clothes, and her brokenness and beauty are even more apparent.

However, even Li Qingfeng didn't have the heart to appreciate the charming look of his master's wife at this moment.

"The Dayu royal family is truly outrageous. King Yang Jian has been dead for so many days, and they haven't held a funeral yet. And now that we're planning to hold one, they're going to do the same."

"Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for our Luoyun Sect?"

"That's not how they do things."

"We should go to the Dayu royal family and ask for an explanation!"

......

Many elders were filled with righteous indignation, and felt that the Dayu court was deliberately trying to make things difficult for their Luoyun Sect.

Some people even wanted to go to the Dayu royal family to ask for an explanation.

"Stop talking about it."

The Great Elder Qi Yuanshan stepped forward and stopped the elders who were becoming increasingly agitated.

After all, he is mature and steady, and he also needs to play a role in stabilizing people's hearts at this time.

"The two families each have their own funerals, there's nothing to argue about."

Qi Yuanshan turned around and bowed to Ning Qingshuang.

"Sect Master, I feel that our Luoyun Sect should not be influenced by the outside world. We should properly handle the funeral of Sect Master Gu, even if no one comes to pay their respects."

Ning Qingshuang nodded slightly.

"The Great Elder is right."

Li Qingfeng also stood up, his idea was consistent with Qi Yuanshan's.

"Master's funeral is something we take seriously. It doesn't matter what outsiders think."

"If anyone comes to offer condolences, our Luoyun Sect will treat them with courtesy. If no one comes to offer condolences, our Luoyun Sect will naturally hold its ground."

After saying that, Li Qingfeng took the initiative to volunteer.

"Master's Wife, I will take care of distributing funeral notices and inviting condolences."

Ning Qingshuang looked at Li Qingfeng very moved.

In Ning Qingshuang's eyes, the previous Li Qingfeng was quite lazy. He basically would not participate in the affairs of the sect, let alone volunteer.

"Qingfeng is sharing my worries and doesn't want me to work too hard."

"Husband...your disciple will not disappoint you. He will definitely be the future pillar of our Luoyun Sect!"

Ning Qingshuang looked at Li Qingfeng with eyes as clear as water, full of satisfaction.

"Qingfeng, thank you for your hard work."

Li Qingfeng was serious.

"Master's Wife, what are you talking about? No matter how big or small the matter is, it's all for the sect and Master's Wife to share the worries."

"Qingfeng has no choice but to do his duty!"

......

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

The day of the funeral finally arrived.

The Luoyun Sect had already made preparations, and white cloth and sails were hung all along the way from the mourning hall to the mountain gate.

The outer and inner disciples all wore plain white clothes with a black cloth tied around their arms.

The mourning hall was also built solemnly, with an ancient and majestic coffin placed in it.

Sect leader Gu Hanshan was wearing a black robe, with his hands on his chest, lying quietly in the coffin, his face peaceful and calm, as if he was just sleeping soundly.

Ning Qingshuang, as a widow, knelt in front of the mourning hall in mourning clothes, looking sad and desolate.

Li Qingfeng and Han Yinyue, as direct disciples, also wore mourning clothes and knelt behind their master's wife Ning Qingshuang.

Han Yinyue's eyes also turned red, and she looked much more haggard.

Li Qingfeng, who was standing by, saw that she looked dazed, so he gently held her hand.

Feeling the heat from Li Qingfeng's hands, Han Yinyue was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

However, all the senior sect leaders present had worried expressions on their faces.

Although it had been agreed beforehand that the funeral would be held as usual regardless of whether anyone came to pay their respects or not.

But when the day finally came, they were still worried that no one would come.

If only a few people came to pay their respects at the funeral of the dignified Luoyun Sect's leader, the Luoyun Sect would lose face greatly.

It was already past dawn, and someone should have come to pay their respects, but no one came.

It makes people feel upset.

"Brother, will anyone come to pay their respects to Master?"

Han Yinyue asked softly.

Li Qingfeng looked calm and nodded slightly.

"There will be."

The words have not yet fallen.

The loud shout of the Great Elder Qi Yuanshan could be heard from the mountain gate.

"Dingtian Tower Master Xiao Changsheng has come to offer condolences!"

"Liu Yunlong, head of the Liu family, is here to offer condolences!"

"Ninth Prince Yang Xuanzhen has come to offer condolences!"
