Chapter 101 Revenge from the Wuhou Sect
Several days later, the Wuhou faction.
When Zuo Ruotong and his two disciples arrived at the Wuhou Sect's mountain gate, Liu Zongqing had already been waiting for a long time.
Although it's unclear how he managed to walk ahead of so many corpses all by himself.
But at this critical juncture, no one cares about this matter.
After handing over the remains of Zhuge Duan and others to the Wuhou faction, Liu Zongqing bowed slightly to Zuo Ruotong.
"Master Zuo, I have fulfilled my duties, so I will not bother you any longer."
"Brother Liu, why are you in such a hurry? You've been driving corpses for so many days, it would be good to stay and rest for a while."
Faced with Zuo Ruotong's attempt to persuade him to stay, Liu Zongqing smiled and shook his head.
"No need. We corpse drivers deal with corpses all year round, it's bad luck for us."
Now that the host family has just passed away, it would be truly inappropriate for me to remain here. Farewell.
Seeing that the other party had gone this far, Zuo Ruotong didn't know what else to say.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for bringing my father's body back."
"You're too kind. I was just doing what someone asked me to do."
Liu Zongqing waved his hand, then turned and left.
Shortly after Liu Zongqing left, the second clan elder, Zhuge Zhong, also walked over with a gloomy expression.
He first clasped his hands in greeting to Zuo Ruotong, and then turned his gaze to Zhuge Yan beside him.
"Yan'er, what exactly happened? Your father...?"
"Second Elder, this is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and discuss this further."
"Alright, Master Zuo, please come in."
"This is troublesome."
……
A moment later, after settling Zuo Ruotong and Lu Jin, the second elder Zhuge Zhong and the third elder Zhuge Ji immediately took Zhuge Yan to the side hall.
Just two days ago, they received news of the death of their clan chief, Zhuge Duan.
At first, the two were a little incredulous, but after seeing Zhuge Duan's body with their own eyes, they were forced to accept the reality.
"Yan'er, didn't you and your father go to the Lu family's birthday banquet? Why did your father suddenly die so inexplicably?!"
"Who on earth did this? If this grudge isn't avenged, how can my Wuhou Sect maintain its standing in the future?!"
Seeing the undisguised anger in the eyes of Zhuge Zhong and Zhuge Ji, Zhuge Yan finally felt a little calmer.
At least on the surface, the father's death should have nothing to do with these two clan elders in front of him.
This was not Zhuge Yan's wild speculation, but rather, ever since he learned of those three "answers" in the inner vision, he truly did not know who to believe or who to doubt.
After weighing his thoughts for a long time, Zhuge Yan finally spoke slowly:
"Second Elder, Third Elder, a few days ago, I asked about my father's death in the inner realm."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, both Zhuge Zhong and Zhuge Ji's expressions changed drastically.
"Nonsense!"
Zhuge Zhong, his face ashen, shouted sternly.
Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this?
Even the most respected elders in the clan, well-versed in the arts of divination, wouldn't dare to ask such questions in the inner realm. How dare you, a mere child, be so rash?!
Unlike Zhuge Zhong, Zhuge Ji did not reprimand Zhuge Yan; he simply added silently:
"Yan'er, don't blame your clan elders for being angry, because just two days ago, an elder in the clan asked about your father's death in the inner realm."
But the result was that they not only failed to get the answers they wanted, but also got stuck in the inner world.
Upon hearing these words, Zhuge Yan was immediately startled.
"Is this really true? But I clearly obtained part of the answer within the inner vision!!"
"What?"
This time, Zhuge Zhong and Zhuge Ji were clearly even more surprised.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock at what Zhuge Yan had just said.
"You say you've got the answer?"
"Yes, one of the true culprits who killed my father was the Quanxing sorcerer—White Owl Liang Ting!"
"White Owl Liang Ting?!"
Zhuge Ji gritted his teeth, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.
"Outrageous! This wicked man from Quanxing Sect truly thinks our Wuhou Sect has no one to rely on!"
Although Zhuge Zhong was also burning with anger, he was not blinded by it.
"Yan'er, you just said you got part of the answer, what exactly is going on?"
How exactly did you ask the questions in the inner vision?
Then, Zhuge Yan told Zhuge Zhong in detail about his experience in the inner world.
"I see, three ones..."
Zhuge Zhong nodded after listening.
"I can't believe there's such a way to ask a question. It's a pity. If you had come back a few days earlier, perhaps Uncle Liu would have..."
As he spoke, a look of sadness appeared on Zhuge Ji's face.
"Alright, Fourth Brother, what does this have to do with Yan'er? In the end, it's Sixth Uncle's fate!"
"Yes, I know..."
After reprimanding his younger brother Zhuge Ji, Zhuge Zhong turned his gaze back to Zhuge Yan in front of him.
"Yan'er, I heard you've become Zuo Ruotong's disciple?"
"Yes."
"Very well, the Sanyi Sect is a leading sect in the Xuanmen, and Zuo Ruotong is a grandmaster. It would be a good place for you to become his disciple."
"These next few days, you should focus on arranging your father's funeral. After that's all over, we'll go down the mountain together and settle accounts with that beast Liang Ting!"
"yes!"
-----------------
Zhuge Duan's funeral lasted for three days.
Over the course of these three days, many prominent figures from the world of supernatural beings came to the Wuhou Sect to offer their condolences.
Although the Wuhou School rarely travels outside, many people in the circle will personally visit them to seek reassurance if they are unsure about any plans or to set dates.
Therefore, the relationship between the Wuhou School and most other schools in the circle is neither close nor distant.
During the mourning period, many people subtly inquired about the cause of Zhuge Duan's death.
However, Zhuge Zhong never gave a direct answer to this question.
Firstly, their initial method of identifying the murderer was based solely on Zhuge Yan's testimony.
As for whether the real culprit is Liang Ting, the white owl, that remains to be seen.
Secondly, regarding the upcoming revenge against Liang Ting, Zhuge Zhong does not intend to seek help from any other sects.
He wanted the entire world of supernatural beings to know that although their Wuhou Sect was isolated from the world, they were not pushovers to be bullied!
After Zhuge Duan's funeral, Zhuge Zhong immediately gathered all the best fighters from the Wuhou School who were in their prime.
In the square, everyone was solemn and silent, staring at Zhuge Zhong on the platform.
Clearly, they had already anticipated the purpose of being gathered here today.
