After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes flickered slightly, his lips quivered a bit, and his eyes were fixed on Zhuge Qing. Then a voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"Second in command, all this is your story, I fear thereâs no solid evidence to prove what youâre saying is true!"
Upon hearing Xue Wuâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes showed a solemn expression, and he calmly said:
"Captain Xue, every word I said is true. The situation at the time was extremely dangerous, and it was fortunate enough that I was able to escape with my life. Moreover, there are so many anomalies in this matter..."
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes flickered slightly, his lips quivered a bit, and then a voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"Second in command, if this situation is true, where do you think this group of masked men might come from?"
Upon hearing Xue Wuâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes also flickered slightly, his lips paused a bit, and he said coldly:
"Captain Xue, to know the sect masterâs whereabouts so accurately and have such power and influence, who else in the Divine Realm do you think could do it?"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wu coldly glanced at Zhuge Qing. His eyes were filled with a contemplative look, widened in shock, and then the voice emerged from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"Could it be the Four Great Elders?"
Upon hearing Xue Wuâs words, Zhuge Qingâs lips subtly hinted at a mocking expression, his face changed slightly, and then a surprised voice came from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"The Four Great Elders? How could that be possible! They are all members of our Skeleton Sect, always loyal to the sect master. How could they plot against the sect master?"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes flickered slightly, his lips quivered, and an icy voice slowly came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"Loyal and devoted? What a joke, theyâve been eyeing the sect masterâs position for a long time. If it werenât for the sect masterâs formidable power along with our deterrent force, they wouldâve made their move on the sect masterâs position long ago!"
Upon hearing Xue Wuâs words, a calm voice came from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"I see, if thatâs the case, itâs really possible that these mysterious masked men are from the Four Great Elders. After all, only they possess such formidable strength!"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wu slowly nodded his head twice, and an icy voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"But, second in command, these matters hinge on the assumption that youâre not deceiving me..."
As Xue Wu spoke, his gaze remained locked on Zhuge Qingâs body. Seeing this, Zhuge Qingâs brows furrowed, and a voice slowly emerged from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Captain Xue, it seems you donât fully trust me, but thatâs alright. You can send someone out to investigate if the sect master truly died in that Sirius Tomb. As for my personal suspicions, the Brother Ding beside me will naturally clear them up for me..."
As Zhuge Qing spoke, he slowly turned his head toward Ding Fan beside him, and upon receiving Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes gradually took on a mocking expression.
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes showed a look of astonishment, and he locked his gaze on Ding Fanâs body, his lips quivered a bit, and a voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"Brother Ding? Who are you?"
Xue Wuâs eyes remained fixed on Ding Fanâs body, and a voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth.
After hearing Xue Wuâs words, Ding Fan calmly said to everyone:
"At that time, with the Skeleton Sect master who entered the Sirius Tomb, I was one of them."
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes widened in shock, and a voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"What did you say?! You entered that Sirius Tomb with the sect master? How come Iâve never seen you before?"
Upon hearing Xue Wuâs words, Ding Fanâs lips subtly curled with an evil charm, and a voice came from Ding Fanâs mouth:
"Because Iâm not part of your Skeleton Sect..."
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes widened in shock and a voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"Could it be you are..."
Seeing Xue Wuâs demeanor, Ding Fanâs lips quivered slightly, and he slowly pulled out the Treasure Map from entering the Sirius Tomb from his bosom, where a glimmer of light flickered on the map.
"Thatâs right, I am the divine warrior tricked here by your Skeleton Sect at that time..."
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes widened in shock and took the Treasure Map from Ding Fanâs hands.
Seeing the Treasure Map in Ding Fanâs hands, Xue Wuâs eyes flickered slightly, his tone paused slightly, and his face was covered in a solemn expression. He looked firmly at Ding Fan, nodding slowly at him.
"Indeed, this is the Treasure Map we distributed from the Skeleton Sect..."
Upon hearing Xue Wuâs words, Ding Fanâs lips curled slightly, and a voice slowly emerged from Ding Fanâs mouth:
"I witnessed with my own eyes the Skeleton Sect masterâs death, indeed masked men suddenly appeared from nowhere. These men moved swiftly, slaughtering everyone upon arrival. Due to their formidable strength, we were no match for them!"
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes flickered slightly, his gaze remained fixed on Ding Fanâs body, and a sense of doubt filled his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Zhuge Qingâs eyes also took on a sharp look, and a voice slowly emerged from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Brother Dingâs words are true; if Brother Ding hadnât helped me at the time, I might have perished in this Sirius Tomb as well..."
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes showed a look of astonishment, and he locked his gaze on Ding Fanâs body. A voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth:
"You actually saved the second in command? As far as I know, the second in commandâs strength is well-ranked within the Skeleton Sect!"
After hearing Xue Wuâs words, Ding Fan calmly said to everyone:
"If you donât believe, you can try..."
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes gleamed sharply, his body exploded with raging waves of energy, which surged toward Ding Fan.
Seeing this, Ding Fanâs lips subtly curled with a disdainful expression, and his body slightly trembled, releasing a fierce wave of energy that pushed Xue Wuâs body back.
Xue Wuâs eyes suddenly showed a look of fear, filled with a solemn expression.
"I never expected Brother Dingâs strength to be so formidable, I apologize for my rudeness..."
A voice came from Xue Wuâs mouth, and upon hearing this, Ding Fanâs eyes showed a disdainful expression, and he calmly said to everyone:
"Captain Xue, youâre too modest; your doubts are crystal clear to me..."
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xue Wuâs eyes flickered slightly, his tone paused slightly, and he slowly spoke to Ding Fan:
"Brother Dingâs character is trustworthy, but now that the Skeleton Sect master is dead, whatâs the purpose of the second in commandâs visit?"
After hearing Xue Wuâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes flickered slightly, his tone paused slightly, and a voice emerged from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Captain Xue, the sect masterâs death is a major issue within the Skeleton Sect. As you said, all four Great Elders are covetously eyeing the sect masterâs position. If we keep idly waiting, we might fall into their hands and perish!"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Xue Wu slowly nodded his head twice, and he slowly spoke to Zhuge Qing:
"The second in command speaks the truth, but with our current strength, we are no match for the Four Great Elders!"
