Dozens of powerful individuals descended simultaneously, originally prepared to join forces against Zhou Qi. However, to their surprise, what awaited them was Zhou Qi's corpse. It was a huge irony; while many strong figures felt shocked, they couldn't help but feel a hint of embarrassment.
"Sun Zhe, did you kill Zhou Qi?"
Fang Yuan stepped forward and asked Sun Zhe. Here, only Sun Zhe and Zhao Ang were present, and Fang Yuan was well aware of Zhao Ang and the others' abilities; they were not even capable of filling the gaps for Zhou Qi, let alone dealing with the Mid-Level Thunder Lord's Five Element Corpse. Among so many people, only Sun Zhe had a glimmer of hope, after all, he had previously recorded slaying a Thunder Lord Level Cultivator in his early stage.
Although Fang Yuan did not believe that Sun Zhe could handle the four Five Element Corpses comparable to a Mid-Level Thunder Lord and subsequently kill Zhou Qi, the fact lay before him; it was merely the most plausible explanation.
Hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Sun Zhe, observing this seemingly extraordinary young man. Particularly Ao Cheng, who had some distance from Sun Zhe, stared intently at him; he could hardly believe that the Thunder Lord Level child from back then had grown to this extent.
Under the scrutiny of dozens of powerful Divine Consciousnesses, Sun Zhe showed no discomfort. The immense pressure seemed to have no effect on him. Perhaps influenced by Zhou Qi and his grandson earlier, there was not a hint of a smile on his face as he looked at everyone and replied nonchalantly,
"He committed suicide; it has nothing to do with me."
"Hmph, Sun Zhe, you don't know how Zhou Qi died and yet you speak nonsense about suicide. Do you think we are three-year-old children? Since you were the only one here when Zhou Qi died just now, then you must have obtained his Ethereal Ring. That Ethereal Ring contains most of the Zhou family's treasures and should rightfully belong to my Xuan Lei Sect. Hand it over!"
An elderly man with white hair suddenly stood up and disdainfully addressed Sun Zhe. He was one of the high-ranking elders of Xuan Lei Sect; although not a Guardian Elder, his strength had reached the peak of Thunder Sovereign. He could not believe that someone with Zhou Qi's character would commit suicide. Naturally, he also did not believe that this young boy could kill Zhou Qi; the most likely scenario was that Sun Zhe had reaped the benefits.
Hearing his words, Sun Zhe couldn't help but smile mockingly. He realized that some people indeed had thick skin, like this elder before him. When Zhou Qi was alive, he dared not act against him; now that Zhou Qi was dead, he immediately thought of the treasures collected by Zhou Qi and brazenly claimed them as belonging to Xuan Lei Sect.
"You're just trying to probe whether Zhou Qi's Ethereal Ring is in my possession."
Sun Zhe glanced at him lightly and saw through his thoughts immediately. Under Sun Zhe's gaze, the elder showed no sign of embarrassment and continued to stare proudly at Sun Zhe as if looking down on a commoner from a noble position.
"I'll tell you this: his Ethereal Ring is indeed in my possession. If you want it, come and take it. However, according to your earlier logic—if I treat you like a three-year-old child—then how about I treat you like a three-year-old child? What can you do to me?" A flash of arrogance appeared in Sun Zhe's eyes as he coldly spoke without reservation.
If others respected him an inch, he would respect them a mile; but if others offended him an inch, he would retaliate tenfold.
"You... you're seeking death!" The White-Haired Elder immediately became furious and trembled as he pointed at Sun Zhe while cursing.
As soon as his words were spoken, Sun Zhe's entire aura suddenly changed. His eyes burst forth with two terrifying beams of light, and a fierce energy erupted, transforming into a sharp sword that charged toward the Elder. He directly responded with action.
"Divine Consciousness Manifestation!"
This move from Sun Zhe immediately astonished everyone. It required a very high level of Divine Consciousness to comprehend such a technique. Although it was not classified as a Divine Technique, it was certainly not an ordinary move. No one expected Sun Zhe to use it so effortlessly.
The purple sword formed from Divine Consciousness swelled in size, instantly growing to several feet long, roaring through the air as it rushed toward the White-Haired Elder. The overwhelming force pressured the onlookers, causing some Thunder Sovereign experts standing nearby to scatter. Since the White-Haired Elder intended to forcibly seize the Ethereal Ring from Sun Zhe, they naturally did not want to become collateral damage.
"You..."
The White-Haired Elder's expression changed dramatically. He did not expect Sun Zhe to be so aggressive. Initially, he thought he could pressure Sun Zhe into handing over the Ethereal Ring with the support of many strong individuals, but it backfired. As he saw the giant sword formed from Divine Consciousness charging at him, he finally understood Sun Zhe's strength.
With both hands forming a seal, he traced an arc in front of his chest, creating a purple halo that surged with a powerful thunderous aura. In an instant, the swirling purple ring collided with the giant sword formed from Divine Consciousness, sending a terrifying shockwave rippling outward.
The White-Haired Elder staggered back seven steps, his face slightly pale. A mouthful of crimson blood surged from his lungs but was swallowed back down. However, his eyes were filled with shock, and he involuntarily swayed slightly.
Meanwhile, Sun Zhe stood quietly in place, his gaze icy.
"Elder Dong!"
Fang Yuan flashed forward and appeared in front of the White-Haired Elder, asking nervously.
"Sun Zhe, my friend, this matter is our fault. Since Zhou Qi was killed by you, his Ethereal Ring naturally belongs to you. I must thank you for eliminating this traitor for my Xuan Lei Sect." Fang Yuan turned to look at Sun Zhe and began apologetically.
"It's nothing. If there are no further matters, I will take my leave."
Sun Zhe glanced at Fang Yuan indifferently. He could tell that Fang Yuan had enough time to assist the Elder earlier, but that was not his concern. As long as Fang Yuan did not provoke him, he would not mind any schemes.
After finishing his sentence, he turned and walked toward the direction of the main hall. The dozens of strong individuals present did not dare to stop him; they could only watch him leave helplessly. It was not that they did not want to intervene; rather, Sun Zhe's display of power was too shocking for anyone to wish to oppose him.
"Old Man, can you leave now?"
An aged voice echoed from above the roof. In a flash of light, a frail old man dressed in a yellow robe appeared before Sun Zhe. He looked at Sun Zhe with a calm demeanor. Although his body was thin and appeared to be on the verge of collapse, an air of pride emanated from him, soaring into the sky and shaking the hearts of those present.
Upon seeing the appearance of this old man, the dozens of powerful figures revealed expressions of surprise. Fang Yuan and Ao Cheng exchanged glances, both showing clear signs of joy; this was precisely the backup they had prepared.
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
Sun Zhe's expression grew serious as he halted his steps, looking at the suddenly appearing old man and asking.
The old man before him was actually a powerful figure from the Realm of the Thunder Lord, not a half-baked Thunder Lord Stage expert like Zhou Qi, but a genuine master who had reached the peak of the early Thunder Lord stage, surpassing Sun Zhe's cultivation level. Sun Zhe did not expect that Beifeng City still had such a strong figure; it seemed he was invited by Fang Yuan and others as part of their backup plan.
After sizing up Sun Zhe for a moment, a glimmer of something unusual flashed in the old man's calm eyes. After a brief pause, he finally spoke.
"I am an Elder of the Beast Taming Sect. Did my disciple Wu Dangnian die at your hands?"
The Beast Taming Sect is the only fourth-tier sect in Shencheng, and this old man is the only Realm of the Thunder Lord expert within it—a formidable figure who led the Beast Taming Sect to become a fourth-tier sect. Sun Zhe did not expect that the expert invited by Fang Yuan and others would be him.
