?Mobile reading Indeed, Qin Feng did not suffer the same fate as Liu Yun, who was dismembered into countless pieces—otherwise, he could have carried her body away and displayed it before all the high-ranking officials of Tian Li Jiang, thus completely crushing their hopes. Bai He Gate Master was truly furious; not only did he chop Liu Yun’s body into pulp, but he also spared neither her head. In the end, he collapsed beside his brother’s lifeless body, weeping profusely, saying, “Brother, I’m truly sorry. If only I had left that woman behind, you wouldn’t have perished!” Everyone adopted a mournful expression—yet in truth, the passing of Zero Yuan’s True Person was beneficial to all of them, as they would no longer have to fear his frequent reprimands. Qin, the young lord, volunteered, “Master, I would like to go to the site where my brothers and sisters fell, to investigate the truth!” "The Master looked at him and said, 'Go now. Go early and return promptly. My esteemed cousin must not die without a clear cause. If their deaths are linked to the Celestial Justice Sect, I'll resign as Master myself and take them all down!' Qin, with a humble expression, departed and soon regained his original appearance, then headed for the capital. Liu Su was very clear: if she couldn't silence those voices of opposition, even if she became the Grand Master, her position would be unsteady and unwarranted. She had made plans for the worst—she would eliminate the most vocal opponents, ensuring they never safely departed. When she stepped forward, a man with broad, rugged features shouted, "Master Liu, don't you think it's time to give everyone a clear explanation?" "What explanation do you want?" Liu Su said calmly once she sat down. "Didn't I already give you one? The Grand Master passed away. As her niece, I am entitled to succeed her. Do you have any objections?" "The Grand Master is not only the niece of the previous Grand Master, but also the only daughter of the Grand Master two generations prior—she certainly has the right to succeed," said one of her followers. "Exactly," more followers began to agree. The man with a broad, rugged face, relying on his loud voice, shouted again, "I have no doubt that Master Liu is qualified to succeed to the throne. But you claim the Master has passed away—well, we don't quite believe that. Everyone knows her abilities. How exactly did she pass away? When you say she's gone, wouldn't it be proper for us to see her body, to pay our respects?" Liu Su smiled, "To pay our respects—does our Tianli Sect have such a custom? When Lady Gu passed the throne, did she ever ask the congregation to honor my father's memory with a funeral service? That's what we're doing now—this is a tradition of ours. Back then, why didn't anyone question whether my father had actually passed away?" The man with the broad face fell silent. Indeed, at the time, some had questioned the legitimacy of Master Liu Yun's position, but in the end, she had successfully secured her authority. "The previous Master had been overworked and fell ill—this is well known to many, so no one doubted it," said another. "But Master Liu is at the peak of her strength. How can people believe she simply passed away?" "Indeed, she didn't die of illness, but from the mutual strife with her paramour—strictly speaking, an accidental death," Liu Su smiled. "Do you have any further questions?" "Given that, we must examine the body to confirm that the Master truly passed away!" "Exactly. For a normal death, we can overlook it; precisely because it's an accidental death, we need to clarify the details." "We must see the body ourselves; otherwise, how can we be certain whether the Master died at the hands of her paramour or at the hands of you, Master Liu?" The group grew increasingly insistent, and Liu Su's delicate face was now frozen with frost. Huff... Qin Feng stepped in from outside, landing lightly beside the beautiful senior. He nodded gently to her. By now, their mutual understanding was so well-established that no words were needed—Liu Su already knew that Liu Yun had been fully secured, and there was no longer any concern about her. "Who exactly are you?" asked the broad-shouldered brother. Qin Da smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Qin Feng. I'm sure some of you have heard of me. Yes, there's been a slight misunderstanding between me and your previous Grand Master. My true identity is a member of the Special Operations Unit under the Internal Security Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense. Right now, I'm carrying out a mission—to eliminate the upper echelons of your Tian Li Sect!" "What?" several people in the front row involuntarily stepped back. "The thirty-some members who died recently were all taken care of by me," Qin Da said, with deeper meaning in his smile. "The orders came from senior political and military leaders in the Chinese national government. I'm merely the executor. I don't need to say much more—surely you can grasp the implications!" Liu Su stood up and said: "Indeed, the central leadership has decided to take action against Tian Li Sect. They believe we are hindering the development of a harmonious society and will eventually become a major threat. "Qin Sha continued, 'The senior figures have been acting this way because they're dissatisfied with certain actions of Liu Yun. As for me, I have a good relationship with your new abbot, and my previous actions have primarily targeted Liu Yun. As long as you comply with Liu Su's leadership, I'll go to the senior figures and assure them that you'll be spared!' Everyone exchanged glances, struck by the gravity of what the two had just said. In these days, it was no longer enough to offend anyone—what truly mattered was to offend the senior figures in the military and political spheres, who represented the government, the nation, and the party itself. "Hengrou Brother waved his hand: 'Do we need any more evidence? The moment the Master dies, you rush to take over immediately, even claiming that the Tianli Sect will be wiped out. Is this all coincidence? Liu Su, do you really think everyone is a fool, letting you manipulate them at will? I'm the first one who won't accept it—I won't recognize you as the Master!' This statement convinced many wavering supporters to once again align themselves with Liu Yun.
