Faced with this scene, Jiang Chen took a deep look at Ling Piaofeng, then turned and stared straight at Wu Liangcheng, meeting Wu Liangcheng's gaze directly.

After their eyes met, Wu Liangcheng instantly averted his gaze.

Jiang Chen's heart sank completely!

Just now, he sensed Wu Liangcheng's killing intent, which made him highly suspicious, and Ling Piaofeng's reaction further confirmed Wu Liangcheng's murderous intent.

Moreover, Ling Piaofeng had already anticipated this murderous intent.

This was very strange!

Normally, from Wu Liangcheng's perspective, Ling Piaofeng's transgressions should not have warranted such an immediate death sentence. Yet now, not only Wu Liangcheng, but even Ling Piaofeng realized that he might die. This indicated that their conviction of inevitable death was not solely because Ling Piaofeng had offended Jiang Chen.

Then what could it be?

Jiang Chen glanced at his group and made a decision in his heart. Wu Liangcheng's killing intent was likely due to the presence of his faction.

In other words, there was indeed a secret here they didn't want his group to discover, and because his side had five Saint Realm Experts, they couldn't guarantee that they could leave them all behind. So, they intended to kill Ling Piaofeng first, and then...

Swish!

Bam!

With a muffled sound, Wu Liangcheng's figure leaped in front of Ling Piaofeng, and he struck Wu Liangcheng's forehead with a fierce slap.

Bang!

A burst of explosion sounded, and Wu Liangcheng's head instantly exploded, brain matter splattering all around.

Thud!

A headless body fell to the ground.

Wu Zhan and others' expressions changed drastically, then quickly returned to calm, as if Ling Piaofeng's death was justified in their eyes!

"Wow, so ruthless?!"

"Isn't...that his disciple? Without even a defense?"

Leng Ming and Mi Jiaro exclaimed in surprise, while the others frowned, an expression of doubt in their eyes.

"Head of the Jiang Family!"

After killing Ling Piaofeng, Wu Liangcheng turned his head, looked apologetically at Jiang Chen, and said, "I'm sorry, it was my lack of discipline that resulted in such an untrained disciple. Now I've executed him as an apology. Let's end this matter here, shall we?"

Jiang Chen looked deeply into Wu Liangcheng's eyes, nodded slightly, and said with a meaningful tone, "I have no objection to ending the matter here, but... Sect Master Wu, you're quite decisive!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen had a shift in his thoughts, and the probing soul power received a result, causing him to frown slightly.

At the highest point of Yunpiao Sect, in a wooden house.

Inside the wooden house, there was only a bed, a square table, and a chair, with no other furnishings.

On the bed, an old woman with white hair sat cross-legged, her eyes half-closed, face incredibly pale, a hint of blood at the corners of her mouth, her aura weak, expression contorted, veins bulging on her forehead and temples, cold sweat trickling down, as if enduring immense pain!

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out as an old man with white hair and beard entered, and at the same time, an elusive soul aura sensed the situation.

"Ming Que, you're truly persistent! To be able to hold on for so long, I must say I'm deeply impressed!" The old man expressed his admiration openly.

The old woman opened her eyes and looked at the old man, strong hatred in her gaze: "Chu Ming, don't think that just because you've imprisoned me here, no one will know. If I don't contact Headquarters for a long time, Long Huang and the others will certainly notice, and then they're bound to find this place!"

"Indeed, if you don't contact Flame Dragon Headquarters for a long time, they might come looking, but..."

Chu Ming sneered, "When they arrive, they will only find a Supreme Ming Que who has reconciled with Yunpiao Sect."

Ming Que's eyes showed a hint of determination to die, and she said coldly, "Hmph! You dream of taking over my body. Even if I have to burn my soul and die, I will take that Divine Soul in my Sea of Consciousness down with me!"

"Oh really? If you still had the ability to burn your soul and take away the Fifth Martial Uncle, would you have endured until now?"

Chu Ming mocked, "Go ahead and burn your soul. After you do, it will be even easier for the Fifth Martial Uncle to seize you, Ming Que. You're doomed!"

Supreme Ming Que's eyes showed a fleeting despair; she knew Chu Ming was right.

Her soul was now sealed by the Divine Soul in her Sea of Consciousness, leaving only a struggle; to burn it would not help, and might instead aid that Divine Soul in her Sea of Consciousness!

"Ming Que, for the sake of our past acquaintance, I can promise you that if you give up resistance and let the Fifth Martial Uncle take over your body, we can spare your granddaughter!" Chu Ming's eyes turned, coaxing and luring her.

Supreme Ming Que was shocked in her heart, glaring at Chu Ming fiercely: "If you dare touch Yun'er, Young Jiang will never rest until he's destroyed you!"

"Young Jiang? Who is he?" Chu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

Supreme Ming Que suddenly realized she had misspoken, and immediately clamped her mouth shut tightly.

"Even if you don't say it, I know. He's the head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, right?" Chu Ming tested.

Supreme Ming Que's expression changed sharply, but quickly regained composure.

Unfortunately, her change in expression was already caught by Chu Ming.

"Haha! So your reliance is on him!"

Chu Ming laughed aloud, "Do you know? Your reliance has already arrived at the Sect, and indeed, with quite a formidable force."

Supreme Ming Que's eyes suddenly brightened: "Young Jiang is here?"

"Yes, he is."

Chu Ming chuckled, nodded, "However, he didn't come to rescue you, rather because a disciple in the Sect tried to humiliate his woman. That disciple will definitely be abandoned. Do you think, if we kill that disciple right before his eyes, that he'll easily become our enemy? Once he leaves, will he ever return?"

Supreme Ming Que coldly sneered, "Once he's here, it's the end for you all!"

"Haha, what a joke."

Chu Ming laughed heartily: "You've overestimated him. Do you think he can find you?"

Supreme Ming Que's gaze showed confidence as she resolutely stated, "As long as Young Jiang is here, he's bound to sense something amiss with Yunpiao Sect, and ensure a thorough investigation! You are all doomed!"

Chu Ming was startled, narrowing his eyes, staring intently at Supreme Ming Que, trying to discern her confidence.

However, Supreme Ming Que closed her eyes after speaking, denying Chu Ming the chance to see through her.

"Chu Ming, quickly drive away those who've arrived. This Ming Que's soul has unexpectedly shown a trace of relief, suggesting she has great faith in that Jiang kid she mentioned. Drive him away!" An elusive voice emerged from within Supreme Ming Que.

Buzz!

Waves of elusive soul power slowly emerged, englobing Supreme Ming Que.

Buzz!

Sensing the energy carried by those soul powers, the soul force secretly probing the room quietly vanished!

"Yes, Fifth Martial Uncle!"

Chu Ming's expression changed, as he respectfully replied, turning to walk out of the wooden house hastily.
