The Palace Master of South Wilderness Palace looked up at Chu Xuan, feeling sweat break out all over his body.
This was the man who had single-handedly shattered Feather Transformation Heaven Palace! Why had he suddenly come to South Wilderness Palace? Was it because he had failed in some task and angered him?
The South Wilderness Palace Master immediately bowed deeply. "Golden Core Elder of Heavenly Infinite Sect, Sun Shidong, greets the Sect Master!"
Though he was the Palace Master of South Wilderness Palace, his authority only extended within South Wilderness. Outside this region, his title meant little. His true standing in front of Chu Xuan was that of a Golden Core Elder in the Heavenly Infinite Sect. If he encountered other Golden Core cultivators from the Eastern, Western, or Northern regions, he would still present himself as a Golden Core Elder.
Beside him, the Third Elder of South Wilderness Palace also quickly greeted him. "Golden Core Elder Wu Meng greets Sect Master!"
Upon seeing Li Qingshan standing next to Chu Xuan, an ominous premonition rose in Wu Meng's heart. This boy was merely a descendant of a fallen sect—what qualifications did he have to stand beside the Sect Master?
Before Chu Xuan could speak, Wu Meng, quick on his feet, shouted loudly, "Sect Master! I have an urgent matter to report!"
Sun Shidong paused for a moment, looking at Wu Meng in surprise. It was as though he were asking, Are you out of your mind?
Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. "Speak."
Wu Meng pointed at Li Qingshan. "This boy has been parading around, falsely claiming to be a descendant of a fallen sect. Last time, he even tricked me! I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen, so I had him driven out.
Furthermore, this boy is extremely vicious! He turned his own mother into a corpse puppet and controls her day and night. He must have used sweet words to deceive the Sect Master! Please, Sect Master, do not be fooled by him!"
Li Qingshan was dumbfounded. "You... You are twisting the truth! It was you who stole my mother's treasure and turned her into a corpse puppet!"
His training was still insufficient, and facing a master liar like Wu Meng, he was clearly at a disadvantage. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
What did Wu Meng take him for? A righteous, justice-driven cultivator?
"Wu Meng, it seems you've misunderstood something," Chu Xuan said indifferently. "I, Chu Xuan, have always acted on my own heart, never relying on evidence. Sun Shidong, I believe South Wilderness Palace could use a powerful corpse general to keep watch."
He flicked his finger lightly, sending out a jade slip imbued with divine consciousness.
Sun Shidong was momentarily stunned before his face lit up with joy.
He exchanged a meaningful glance with Wu Meng and then roared, "Golden Core cultivator Wu Meng has defied authority, shown disrespect, and is deserving of death! All Golden Core cultivators of South Wilderness Palace, come with me to slay this traitor!"
As soon as his words fell, several Golden Core cultivators shot out from the gates, surrounding Wu Meng for the kill.
Wu Meng had always been arrogant and domineering, looking down on others. Now, surrounded by several Golden Core cultivators, his downfall was only a matter of time.
Li Qingshan stared intensely at Wu Meng. The shadow of the latter, facing the siege of several people, barely had time to let out a furious roar before he was instantly obliterated, his life snuffed out in an instant.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Sun Shidong respectfully approached Chu Xuan, holding Wu Meng's corpse puppet tower in his hands. Chu Xuan glanced briefly at Li Qingshan, and Sun Shidong, understanding the unspoken order, handed it to him.
"Take control of South Wilderness well," Chu Xuan said calmly.
Sun Shidong bowed respectfully. "Yes!"
With a swift motion, Chu Xuan lifted Li Qingshan and mounted the flying magic tool, soaring into the sky.
Sun Shidong and the other cultivators stood by and shouted in unison, "Farewell to the Sect Master!"
…
At the graveyard of Extreme Yin Cave.
"Now, you know who I am, don't you?" Chu Xuan said quietly.
Li Qingshan gazed at him in awe. "Yes, you're Uncle Master Chu of Extreme Yin Cave, and also... the Sect Master of Heavenly Infinite Sect."
His heart churned like turbulent waves. He never imagined that Chu Xuan, who had once been his senior brother, would have become a Nascent Soul cultivator while his mother had remained at the Foundation Establishment stage, even at the time of her death.
