Chapter 133 The Sect Leader Was Murdered by a Villain
These days, Chen Wan'er has been receiving secret messages from Li Wen frequently.
He then focused all his efforts on cultivating with the help of the "top-ranked brother" to improve his own cultivation level.
At present, the Blood Demon Sect's leader is old and frail, barely clinging to life.
Meanwhile, Chen Wan'er's cultivation level had already soared to the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, and she was only one step away from the remarkable Golden Core stage.
At this moment, Chen Wan'er was using the Third Elder as a "stepping stone" to improve her cultivation.
After all, if we miss this golden opportunity, and the Third Elder shows up later, we will have missed out on a hero who made the list, which would be a pity.
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon Sect ushered in a crucial day.
Many ordinary disciples were still confused and unaware of what was going on, completely oblivious to the unusual situation.
In contrast, the elders were all as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes revealing an undisguised expectation and shrewdness.
Apart from the absence of the Third Elder, whose fate is unknown due to being plotted against by Li Wen.
The remaining elders, the second elder and the fourth elder, arrived at the scene early.
Some spoke in hushed tones with solemn expressions, while others looked around with keen eyes, all waiting to see how this grand drama would unfold.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Blood Demon Sect Master was helped out, his steps unsteady and unsteady.
He was emaciated, his face was ashen, and his body was extremely stiff.
Fortunately, he forced open his chapped lips and managed to utter a faint but clear sound that everyone in the room could hear.
"Everyone..."
The sect leader's voice was hoarse and deep, each word sounding as if it were being squeezed out with difficulty from between his teeth.
"My body is exhausted and my time is coming to an end."
However, our Blood Demon Sect is a renowned sect in the martial arts world, and we cannot be without a leader for even a day.
Therefore, today, I will formally pass on the position of sect leader to Li Wen.
From now on, he will lead everyone to continue navigating this treacherous world of martial arts, perpetuating the glory of our Blood Demon Sect.
After the sect leader finished speaking, Li Wen, with his upright posture and imposing presence, slowly stepped out from behind him.
Their appearance startled everyone so much that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
In just a few days, the spiritual energy fluctuations around Li Wen had reached a completely new level—the Nascent Soul stage!
Such a rapid increase in cultivation level is astonishing, almost like riding a rocket.
As a result, everyone knew that the position of sect leader of the Blood Demon Sect now belonged to Li Wen.
After all, once the sect leader passes away, who in the Blood Demon Sect can rival Li Wen, who is at the Nascent Soul stage?
"Everyone..." Li Wen's eyes were bright as he scanned the entire room, his voice loud and firm.
"I, Li Wen, would first like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the sect leader for his kindness and trust in me, entrusting me with this heavy responsibility."
Hereby, I, Li Wen, swear that I will do everything in my power to lead my brothers of the Blood Demon Sect, overcome all obstacles, and create a wider world for us.
Let the might of our Blood Demon Sect resound throughout the land!
As soon as Li Wen finished speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
Everyone turned around in alarm and saw a dark figure rushing upwards like a ghost.
The First Elder looked closely and realized that this was the Third Elder, who had been missing for many days and whose fate was unknown.
What exactly is he trying to achieve by doing this?
"Sect Master!" The Third Elder roared, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse with rage.
"You heartless and wicked villain, you secretly engage in the business of using mortals for cultivation."
After I accidentally stumbled upon it, not only did he not repent, but he also went so far as to poison me, attempting to kill me!
"I, the Third Elder, was not destined to die. I barely escaped with my life, and today I will perish together with a demon like you!"
After saying this, the Third Elder held the sect leader, who was on his last breath, tightly with his arms like iron clamps.
Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly expanded, and a violent spiritual power capable of destroying the world erupted instantly—he actually chose to self-destruct!
With a deafening roar, a blinding light accompanied by a surging shockwave of spiritual energy swept outwards like a tsunami.
Everyone was terrified and tried to use their internal energy to defend themselves.
Fortunately, Li Wen used his Nascent Soul stage cultivation to block most of the impact, and the chaotic crowd immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Grand Elder looked at the extremely tragic scene before him and suddenly realized what was going on.
I finally understand what Li Wen meant when he said he wanted the Third Elder to "die a glorious death."
Such a resolute and tragic way of dying is truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.
The Third Elder was blown to pieces, leaving not even a trace behind.
Thinking of this, the elder secretly rejoiced that he had acted quickly enough and begged for mercy.
Moreover, in the past few days, he has been working tirelessly to devise strategies for Li Wen to ascend to the position of sect leader.
Presumably, now that Sect Master Li has become a Nascent Soul cultivator, he will give me a break for these reasons, right?
Now, witnessing Li Wen's formidable strength, the last trace of resentment in the Grand Elder's heart has vanished completely.
"Everyone," Li Wen said solemnly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd below the stage, his voice steady and powerful.
"What the Third Elder just said was too astonishing and too shocking. We must not let it go unpunished."
Next, I will immediately begin a thorough investigation into this matter, and I will not rest until the truth is revealed.
We will definitely give everyone a clear and transparent explanation.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone felt that Li Wen was decisive and thoughtful, and indeed had the demeanor and responsibility of a sect leader.
However, doubts also surged in everyone's minds like a tidal wave.
How could the former sect leader have kept such a heinous act of allowing mortals to cultivate without anyone noticing in the sect all this time?
The Third Elder accidentally stumbled upon it; what secrets are hidden behind this?
Furthermore, the former sect leader was already on his deathbed, so why did the Third Elder insist on fighting to the death and taking him down with him?
This whole affair had an inexplicable eeriness about it from beginning to end.
Fortunately, the new sect leader has now taken office, and everyone is confident that Li Wen will handle these troublesome matters in the future.
With Li Wen's promise, the succession ceremony for the new sect leader continued to proceed in an orderly manner.
Just as the ceremony was drawing to a close and all was about to be completed, the people from the Thousand Illusions Sect arrived unexpectedly.
Both the Thousand Illusions Sect and the Blood Demon Sect are level six sects, but the current sect leader of the Thousand Illusions Sect has a profound cultivation level of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.
In comparison, the Blood Demon Sect suddenly seemed inferior, and everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of being second-class.
Li Wen felt no discouragement whatsoever; on the contrary, he was secretly excited.
He was just wondering where to expand his territory and make his mark when, sure enough, someone offered him territory.
In fact, he had his eye on the wealthy territory of the Thousand Illusions Sect long ago, but unfortunately the previous sect leader never even considered it.
Now that he has taken the position of sect leader, he will not hesitate to make things difficult for the Thousand Illusions Sect.
The next sect we need to fight is the Thousand Illusions Sect!
"Yo!" Among the people from the Thousand Illusions Sect, the one who looked like an elder was the leader, and he shouted loudly with a faint smile on his face.
"Your Blood Demon Sect's new sect leader inauguration ceremony today is quite a lively affair!"
If we had known this would happen, we should have prepared a gift and come to join in the fun.
"Speaking of which, where is your former sect leader? I have something to discuss with him today."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Blood Demon Sect looked at each other, bewildered.
The former sect leader was just dragged into self-destruction by the Third Elder, and they both vanished into nothingness.
This concerns a secret within the Blood Demon Sect. If it were to be revealed rashly, it would likely cause a great deal of trouble and damage the sect's reputation.
Therefore, everyone kept quiet and turned their attention to Li Wen, waiting for him to speak.
Unexpectedly, before Li Wen could even open his mouth, a young, impetuous, and impatient disciple in the audience couldn't contain himself any longer.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Our former sect leader was murdered by a villain and has already died."
