บท 139: Chapter 136: Rule

"Is it possible that Elder Tan Qingquan was not killed by Elder Gu? Instead... could it have been Ye Yiren's doing? Was Elder Sha perhaps deceived by others unknowingly?"

Qin Li's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Oh, go on."

Lu Dengxian spoke indifferently.

"Yes."

Qin Li, gathering his spirit, stood up straight.

He organized his words and said with a deep voice, "Over the years, Elder Gu has diligently guarded Lingxiao, Yuanhua, Chang County, and Sunset City for our Purgatory Sect. With Baihe City right at his flank, he has almost come to occupy everything south of Star State. Under these circumstances, it's entirely reasonable that someone would want to drive a wedge between Elder Gu and our Purgatory Sect."

"Oh? Like what happened with Elder Yang Kan?"

Lu Dengxian pondered, seemingly deep in thought.

At the same time, he gave Qin Li an encouraging look.

"Exactly like that."
