Chen Jie retrieved the unscathed renowned swords from the slain Elder Qin and Elder Qi, who remained in a defiant stance even in death, before pursuing the fleeing ugly girl, granddaughter of Liu Futong. Sun Cong and Xu Caijin arrived, praising his feat against the Kunlun elders, but Chen Jie urged them to flee as more sect members approached and warned Xu Caijin of the dangers of associating with him amid the brewing enmity. The ugly girl, fearing his ruthless reputation, dashed deeper into the forest, while Chen Jie chased relentlessly, unaware that Kunlun Sect Leader Chang Xuzi and his group were emerging from another path.

"Senior Brother,"

Chang Xuzi arrived hastily alongside his group, discovering Elder Qin and Elder Qi collapsed lifelessly on the earth. Nearby, Elder Shu and Elder Hua uttered shocked gasps, and Elder Shu quickly dashed ahead.

"Stop!"

With a furious bellow, Chang Xuzi's countenance grew deathly pale as he shouted out.

Elder Shu halted in his tracks and glanced back toward Chang Xuzi.

Chang Xuzi commanded, "Don’t approach them, Junior Brother Hua."

After Chang Xuzi spoke, a figure advanced leisurely, seeming no older than thirty. He was Kunlun Sect's most junior disciple and the final direct heir of the Kunlun Ancestor, Elder Tie Jian, known as Elder Hua.

This youthful elder drew near to Elders Qin and Qi with a grave look, starting to inspect their injuries closely.

Witnessing that, Chang Xuzi promptly ordered Elder Shu, "Head to the close caravan and learn whatever they might reveal about the incident."

Chang Xuzi efficiently delegated the on-scene duties.

The careful Junior Brother Hua scrutinized the injuries, while the bold, fiery-tempered Junior Brother Shu set off to question the caravan, offering a more threatening demeanor.

With assignments set, they dove into action right away: Elder Hua carefully probed the wounds, and Elder Shu had already rounded up the nearby caravan members.

Chang Xuzi's features remained rigid like frozen water, his inner rage boiling fiercely. Kunlun's reputation had dwindled; elders of Kunlun now slain outright. Without settling this grudge, Kunlun could scarcely hold its head high in the Jianghu.

With that in mind, Chang Xuzi neared Junior Brother Hua and inquired, "Junior Brother, discovered something yet?"

In response, Junior Brother Hua stated, "Yes, I have. Senior Brother, observe the fatal strikes—swords thrust through their torsos. And notice the two Senior Brothers' pallid faces, chest bruises present. The ribs show subtle fractures, signs of a brutally powerful palm strike."

"Thus, it seems Senior Brothers faced a foe expert in savage palm methods. During the decisive clash, the adversary shattered Elder Qin and Elder Qi’s hidden counter, then finished them with blades."

Following Junior Brother Hua’s breakdown, Chang Xuzi’s visage darkened further. Just then, Elder Shu returned and reported, "Senior Brother, I’ve learned the truth—the murderer is Chen Jiusi from Huangzhou!"

"Who?"

Chang Xuzi’s eyes bulged in disbelief toward Elder Shu, who continued, "Chen Jiusi from Huangzhou Prefecture—come over here, both of you!"

Hearing this, Elder Shu barked in fury, then called Sun Cong and Xu Caijin closer.

Now, Chang Xuzi eyed the pair and demanded, "Who might you be?"

Xu Caijin answered, "Sect Leader Chang Xuzi, I hail from the Tianshui Xu Family; my older brother studies at your Kunlun Sect."

Chang Xuzi creased his brow, "Studies at my Kunlun Sect—which one?"

At that, Xu Caijin responded, "Xu Changping."

Chang Xuzi gave a slight nod; he recognized Xu Changping as one of the promising third-generation disciples, whom Kunlun actively groomed.

Next, Chang Xuzi regarded Xu Caijin and remarked, "Ah, kin to Changping—excellent. Now, recount precisely what transpired here."

Xu Caijin spared no details, narrating the full event. Once done, Chang Xuzi commented, "So, you’re saying Chen Jiusi clashed with Elder Qin and Elder Qi over some plain-looking woman?"

Xu Caijin affirmed with a nod, "Exactly so."

Chang Xuzi’s frown deepened, "In the end, even Elder Qin and Elder Qi teaming up couldn’t overcome Chen Jiusi."

Xu Caijin kept nodding in agreement.

Chang Xuzi pressed, "Describe the Cultivation Technique Chen Jiusi employed."

Xu Caijin explained, "Sir, I’m no martial artist myself, yet I witnessed his Martial Arts Illusion: first a dragon appeared, then a muscular figure bare-chested holding twin serpents, and lastly a herdsman astride a blue-green bull..."

As Xu Caijin detailed it, Chang Xuzi jolted in realization, his stare sharpening with malice.

The Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, Summer God’s wrath, Spring God’s rage—techniques of such might, throughout the realm, solely in Chen Jiusi’s grasp.

Realizing this, Chang Xuzi, face twisted in wrathful gloom, declared, "Fine then, Chen Jiusi—if I don’t settle this blood debt, I forfeit my right to lead Kunlun Sect!"

Such words ignited blazing anger in his gaze.

At his side, Elder Shu could contain himself no longer, howling in rage, "Chen Jiusi, I’ll pulverize your bones to powder!"

Elder Hua alone stayed composed, though his eyes gleamed coldly like a viper’s, as he urged, "Compose yourselves, Senior Brothers."

Elder Shu shot Elder Hua a fierce glare, "Fourth Brother, how can we stay calm? Aren’t you troubled that our Senior Brothers perished?"

Chang Xuzi’s brow furrowed, "Third Brother."

Elder Shu averted his gaze, but fury still seethed; with two elder siblings lost, this Fourth Junior Brother pushing restraint over retribution—how could one remain serene?

Elder Shu clenched his teeth in bitter fury.

Deep dissatisfaction churned in his chest; to him, this Junior Brother stood apart from the elder brothers’ bond.

Qin, Qi, Shu—the three elder brothers, united for three decades, trained side by side, endured chastisements together, their brotherhood profound; this younger one, from a later era, separated by years.

Thus, Elder Shu always doubted that this Junior Brother truly shared the elder brothers’ spirit.

And now, with the younger brother’s words, Elder Shu outright decided he cared nothing for avenging the two elders, nursing this grudge and voicing it plainly.

Chang Xuzi chastised Elder Shu; as Sect Leader, impulsiveness had no place. Turning to Elder Hua, he asked, "Fourth Brother, what are you implying?"
