Chapter 1941 - 1942: Supreme Saint of Jiu Jue! Midnight Update

Li Xiaosheng is dead!

This news wasn’t kept secret and soon reached the ears of all the major sects.

Although the Taiyi Divine Sect’s Saint Heir is currently the Primordial Saint Child, after the Taiyi Saint Heir’s death, Li Xiaosheng was a popular candidate to become the next Saint Heir. He was considered a renowned genius of Taiyi Divine Sect, yet such a favored child of heaven was killed right in front of the Taiyi Divine Sect’s mountain gate.

Disgrace!

This incident is undoubtedly a tremendous disgrace and provocation for the Taiyi Divine Sect.

The martial artists near the Taiyi Divine Sect naturally dared not discuss it, but in cities thousands of miles away, people weren’t so cautious, after all, it’s a fact that couldn’t be ignored, right?

Moreover, the Taiyi Divine Sect claimed that the one who killed Li Xiaosheng was definitely not a Saint but a martial artist at the Void Refinement realm level.

"Tsk tsk, Li Xiaosheng’s strength should be at least late-stage Void Refinement realm, right? Among his peers, not many could match him, yet he was killed in such a short time by someone of the same realm, it’s simply unbelievable," someone commented.

"Even the Taiyi Divine Sect probably can’t figure this out."

"Whoever did this, must be at a genius level, top-notch even. But from what I hear, the strongest geniuses in our ancestral land are currently out training on the galaxy road, it can’t be them who made the move," someone analyzed.

"Yeah, nobody can figure out who did it. The Taiyi Divine Sect, being a super sect, has many enemies. Perhaps it was an old foe," another suggested.

Many were discussing this matter, finding it hard to discern the identity of Li Xiaosheng’s killer.

The Supreme Saint Jiu Jue had a somber expression. After burying Li Xiaosheng, he approached the couple Liu Da and his wife. The two had their memories erased by Ye Qiu, forgetting everything, though they vaguely sensed that being watched by Jiu Jue might not bode well.

Regarding the couple, the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue couldn’t be bothered to ask questions, directly performing a Soul Search to uncover the killer of Li Xiaosheng. However, after searching for a long time, he found no suspicious person, only learning that Li Xiaosheng had captured the couple to help someone. Yet, given the couple’s abilities, how could they possibly kill his son?

"Erasing the memories instead of killing these two, trying to show mercy?" The Supreme Saint Jiu Jue withdrew his hand and coldly remarked, having already realized that the couple’s soul memories were erased, leaving him with nothing.

"If you’re unwilling to kill them, then I shall. These two will still die because of you." With a wave of his finger, the couple’s faces dulled instantaneously, devoid of life.

Following this, the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue thought of the Heaven-level powers. To find the killer, he could only request the help of a Heaven-level ancestor.

Yet, when he approached the Sect Leader with this request, it was denied.

According to the Sect Leader, unless it was a major event, it wasn’t worth troubling a Heaven-level ancestor over.

Of course, the Sect Leader of Taiyi Divine Sect wouldn’t say that the death of Jiu Jue’s son was a minor affair directly, instead opting for a more subtle tone.

The Supreme Saint Jiu Jue wanted to enlist the help of Heaven-level powers solely to identify the killer of his son. With their intervention, they could trace back the scene and find the culprit, giving him a target for his revenge. Currently, he didn’t even know who to seek vengeance upon.

But Heaven-level powers are not disturbed easily; they are the backbone of the sect, and such a force couldn’t be mobilized lightly.

After returning to his residence, the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue looked grim. Even being a Supreme Saint, he couldn’t act recklessly; in a sect, one must adhere to sect rules.

"In that case, I’ll find the person who killed my son myself," the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue said coldly. For Li Xiaosheng to grow stronger, he never revealed himself as his father and only taught and guided him in a teacher-student relationship, believing it would best cultivate his son.

Unfortunately, before Li Xiaosheng truly rose, he was killed, dying without ever knowing his father was by his side.

In truth, Li Xiaosheng’s strength wasn’t weak. Being called a "Little Saint" naturally highlighted his capabilities. Li Xiaosheng wasn’t his real name; people jokingly called him that due to his potential as a Supreme Saint, and once he entered the Saint Realm, he was bound to be among the ranks.

Moreover, Li Xiaosheng enjoyed the favor of the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue, possessing many treasures. For Li Xiaosheng’s safety, Jiu Jue even crafted a shadow clone encased in a jade pendant for him, which could save his life in times of crisis.

Despite this, the heavily favored Li Xiaosheng was still taken down by Ye Qiu.

The reason Ye Qiu was able to swiftly kill Li Xiaosheng was firstly due to his superior combat experience. If Ye Qiu had so many treasures, he would have immediately used them to buy time for himself, and only smash the jade card at the last moment.

But Li Xiaosheng was different. Seriously injured by Ye Qiu at the very first moment, he lost his composure, and in a panic, crushed the jade card hastily to escape, but if his opponent wasn’t Ye Qiu, he might have survived. Unfortunately, Ye Qiu also had the power of the Six Paths Gate, a soul-targeting attack, which annihilated him in an instant. Otherwise, the Saint’s shadow would have been enough for him to escape.

Secondly, Li Xiaosheng was too arrogant. Given the inn was near the Taiyi Divine Sect, he never considered anyone daring to attempt his life, failing to keep some powerful individuals around him. Otherwise, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have been able to close in so easily and succeed.

Who would’ve thought someone dared to kill a genius of Taiyi Divine Sect right under its nose, and yet Ye Qiu did just that.

After the murder, he vanished without a trace, even though the Taiyi Divine Sect sent multiple experts, they couldn’t find any sign of Ye Qiu.

Two days later, a speculation started circulating suggesting a link between Li Xiaosheng’s death, the madness of Sword Sect’s Li Yijian, and the death of Demon God Sect’s Stone Demon Lord’s Protector.

In retrospect, it seems true. All are recent events, prompting the three major sects to ponder who could’ve done this.

The Demon God Sect believes it’s Ye Qiu, due to existing grievances between Ye Qiu and the Stone Demon Lord, but what about the Sword Sect? Taiyi Divine Sect?

It appears there’s no animosity, right?

This left many people puzzled, even some within the Demon God Sect began to suspect that there might be another behind the death of the Stone Demon Lord’s Protector. Daring to kill people from the three major sects, it couldn’t be an ordinary person, how could a loose cultivator like Ye Qiu have such audacity?

Ironically, the murder of Li Xiaosheng decreased suspicions on Ye Qiu from the Demon God Sect.

Regarding these external rumors, the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue had some suspicions of his own and had already sent people to track Ye Qiu’s whereabouts. No matter what, he intended to see Ye Qiu in person. At this moment, the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue bore the mindset of rather mistakenly killing thousands than letting one go.

Once he met Ye Qiu, he’d perform a soul search to clarify everything.

Li Xiaosheng was his beloved, and for the sake of revenge, he wouldn’t miss the slightest opportunity or anyone suspicious.

Standing atop the mountain, the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue’s face was like a dark cloud, a chill in the air, his cold countenance gleaming. His expression seemed to convey a deep-seated sentiment, preferring himself to betray the world rather than allow the world to betray him.
