Xiang Tianyi was confused. He unconsciously wanted to ask the people behind him who Di Jiu was.
“It was really them who killed my grandnephew,” said Ouyang Mufei through gritted teeth before Xiang Tianyi could reply.
“Who killed your grandnephew, Peak Master Ouyang?” Xiang Tianyi got even more confused.
Ouyang Mufei bowed before Xiang Tianyi before he said hatefully, “Di Jiu and Geng Jihua. Elder Shang just said so. The two of them are lawless individuals who started plotting against Ouyang Tao as soon as they entered this sect. After killing Ouyang Tao, they stole all his belongings and killed Qiao Sa…”
After Ouyang Tao had been killed, Ouyang Mufei had checked all the records of the day. Qiao Sa had accepted a mission for the Furious Gale Mountain Ridge. The mission records stated that Ouyang Tao and Qiao Sa had gone together. Di Jiu had accepted a mission right after Qiao Sa. The mission had been the Millennial Floating Castle. According to the records, Di Jiu and Geng Jihua had gone together.
Di Jiu and Geng Jihua had only joined the sect recently, hence, they were removed by Ouyang Mufei from the list of suspects. It seemed now that the murderers of his grandnephew were indeed the two men.
“That’s not possible. Di Jiu and Geng Jihua were recruited by me. They had never cultivated before or possessed a cultivation base. How could they have killed Ouyang Tao, let alone headed to the Marsh Ocean Town and provoked Young Master Shao’s wrath?” said Yu Jingyan hurriedly.
Actually, Di Jiu had cultivated before. However, at that point in time, all his meridians had been shattered. Yu Jingyan had not looked closely enough, so he had failed to see this.
“What is going on?” Xiang Tianyi also sensed that there was something amiss.
Qi Zhishang, who flew into a violent rage, immediately sensed this tyrannical aura. His heart was suddenly shook. This was definitely the aura of an Essence Soul cultivator.
The Galaxy Sect had Essence Soul cultivators? If this was true, he would die there if he did not leave.
Although he was not scared of a mere Essence Soul cultivator, the circumstances were not exactly good. Besides the many Golden Core cultivators who were unafraid to die, there was also a killing array.
However, if the sect really had an Essence Soul cultivator, then why did that cultivator refuse to come out?
Xiang Tianyi and co were pleasantly surprised. This aura was evidently the aura of someone who had broken through to the Essence Soul Realm. The Galaxy Sect had a Grand Elder who had gone into seclusion more than 100 years ago, so everyone had logically assumed that he must have met his doom.
Could this Essence Soul Aura mean that this Grand Elder was still alive and had attained the Essence Soul Realm?
“Elder Liu has attained the Essence Soul Realm! Let’s leave him here forever!” Xiang Tianyi had become even more frenetic after losing a limb.
Almost at the same moment that Xiang Tianyi said this, a gray human shadow rushed out of the deep recesses of the Galaxy Sect.
“Kill him!” Xiang Tianyi was the first person to rush at Qi Zhishang. The rest of the Galaxy Sect’s Golden Core cultivators followed him. Even Ouyang Mufei, who had purposely been staying back so far, also rushed over.
Qi Zhishang finally calmed down his killing intent. He could still have succeeded if there had been no Essence Soul cultivator. Now that there was an Essence Soul cultivator though, he would lose his life if he stayed there.
As soon as he thought of leaving, Qi Zhishang instantly restrained his killing aura and tried to rush out of the killing array. Although he was a perfected fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, he still had to lose a limb to be able to escape from the madly-charging 20 to 30 Golden Core cultivators. However, he managed to kill another Golden Core cultivator before he left.
To an Essence Soul cultivator, losing a limb would not be significant if said limb was immediately reattached. However, Qi Zhishang failed to take his detached limb with him, so his strength dropped drastically.
He would need to make a lot of effort to be able to stay at the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm, let alone be able to break through to the fifth-stage Essence Soul Realm in the future. If he didn’t get even better opportunities, his cultivation would remain stagnant. Therefore, he was more anxious about finding treasure that could help him recover his missing limb instead of chasing down and killing Di Jiu.
As soon as Qi Zhishang retreated, an old man in gray clothes stepped in front of the crowd.
“Grand Elder Liu! Congratulations for attaining the Essence Soul Realm!” All the Golden Core cultivators went up to express their respect.
Even though the Galaxy Sect had lost five Golden Core cultivators in this battle and Xiang Tianyi had lost a limb, if an Essence Soul cultivator appeared in the sect, all this would be worth it.
“Did Qi Zhishang just leave?” the elder asked solemnly as he looked in the direction that Qi Zhishang had disappeared to.
Xiang Tianyi’s limb had been fragmented by Qi Zhishang, so it could not be reattached. Xiang Tianyi could only bow with one hand and say, “Yes, that was Qi Zhishang from the Qi Family’s Commercial Building.”
He subtly sensed that although Grand Elder Liu had attained the Essence Soul Realm, his spirits did not seem to be high. Perhaps there were some issues with Grand Elder Liu’s cultivation. The fact that he did not see Grand Elder Liu’s Thunder Tribulation worried him even more.
“Should we seal off our sect?” asked a Golden Core cultivator worriedly.
“Even if we seal it off, the Galaxy Sect will still be exterminated in a few decades. If we cannot live grandly, then we should at least die grandly. In any case, why would we need to seal off the sect?” Xiang Tianyi said without hesitation.
The elder in the gray clothes nodded his head. “Sect Master Xiang is right. If we seal off the sect, others will think that the Galaxy Sect is afraid. We should not talk about this here. Let’s head back to the sect’s hall first.”
