Chapter 393: Greedy Wolf Hall's Response
"Who, who killed my disciple! Someone, go investigate and find out who killed my disciple, my Sheng'er!"
In the back room of the main hall of the Greedy Wolf Hall, a soul jade slip suddenly shattered.
Upon learning that Kong Sheng's soul jade slip had shattered, the hall master, Kong Qianyi, became furious.
Although Kong Sheng was not his biological son, he treated him better than his own son. Now, his own son had suddenly died, how could he, as a "father," not be angry?
As he picked up the broken soul jade slip from the ground, he wailed and cried.
The sound of his crying was so mournful that even half of the Greedy Wolf Hall could feel the emotions.
Feeling his grief, several high-ranking members of the Greedy Wolf Hall hurriedly rushed over.
"Hall Master, what happened?"
As soon as the elder entered the room, he saw Kong Qianyi holding a soul jade slip and crying. He immediately guessed what had happened.
"Sheng'er, Sheng'er was killed! Find out who killed my Sheng'er, I must avenge him!"
Kong Qianyi roared hoarsely.
The elders looked at each other, none daring to speak for a while.
Finally, the elder who couldn't stand it anymore stepped forward.
"Hall Master, Kong Sheng was supposed to go to the Tianya City ruins for a trial. The only people who could have harmed him are those who also went to Tianya City. I think Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin are the prime suspects!"
"Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin? They are just two small characters at the Foundation Building stage. How could they harm my Sheng'er? Besides, Sheng'er was accompanied by two Gold Core stage experts. Investigate and find out what happened!"
"Yes!"
The elder sighed helplessly.
In the cultivation world, it was not uncommon for geniuses to fall. If they had to investigate every single incident, no one would have time for anything else.
But who made it Kong Sheng, the most beloved disciple of Kong Qianyi?
After receiving the task from the hall master, the elder led the other elders out of the back hall.
After leaving the back hall, the other elders almost simultaneously sighed.
"Elder, our hall master favors Kong Sheng too much. Our Greedy Wolf Hall has more than just him as a talented disciple."
"Yes, although Kong Sheng is powerful, there are several other outstanding disciples in our Greedy Wolf Hall. We can't just abandon all the other excellent disciples for the sake of one Kong Sheng, right?"
"Take Ding San, for example. Who can compare to his diligence in our Greedy Wolf Hall? Isn't he worth paying attention to?"
The elders nodded in agreement.
How diligent was Ding San in his cultivation? The elders had the most say in this matter.
It could be said that if it weren't for the elders noticing that something was off and taking good care of Ding San, this child would have long been ruined from excessive cultivation.
Not only would he have gone astray, but he could have starved to death or encountered various other accidents.
No one could deny such a diligent disciple.
"And there's Tian Ming, his talent is not inferior to Kong Sheng's. But in the eyes of our hall master, there is only Kong Sheng."
The fourth elder and the second elder had a good relationship, and at this time, they also mentioned Cui Tianming.
The elders nodded again.
They were well aware of the outstanding disciples in the hall. And each of them had their own disciples. Who wouldn't want their own disciples to achieve good results in the Tianji Trial?
So Kong Sheng's death wasn't that important to them.
"Alright, let's not praise each other anymore. The Tianji Trial is approaching, and we can't focus our attention on such matters. Let's wait for Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin to return and question them to find out what happened."
The elder made the final decision, which was agreed upon by everyone.
The second elder nodded helplessly.
Fortunately, their Cui Tianming usually practiced diligently, and everything was ready.
With the support of several medicinal pills from the Medicine King Valley, they believed he would achieve good results in the Tianji Trial.
Moreover, they didn't need to go out and look for him, they just had to wait for Lu Yu and the others to return.
In this way, the elders quickly finalized the plan and then went back to continue preparing for the Tianji Trial.
While these elders were waiting for Lu Yu and the others to return and report, the protagonist of this incident, Lu Yu, and Ling Tianxin quickly appeared at the headquarters of the Greedy Wolf Hall.
They were here to submit their mission. Previously, the Grand Elder had assigned them a sect mission, so they had to go to the Tianya City ruins.
And now that they were back, they naturally had to hand over the mission to the front desk.
"Hey, Su Jin, why are you still at the front desk? Aren't you going to participate in the Tianji Trial?" Ling Tianxin saw Su Jin standing at the front desk as soon as they entered the service hall, and eagerly ran over to ask.
"Well, I can cultivate here, and there are extra points at the front desk." Su Jin replied.
"Oh, you're back. How did the mission go? Did something happen to Kong Sheng? The Grand Elder and the others are waiting for you." Su Jin saw that they had returned and quickly whispered to them in advance.
Lu Yu nodded and smiled at her.
"We know. This mission didn't go smoothly, and we will report to the Grand Elder properly."
"Then I'll inform the Grand Elder and the others to come over." Su Jin nodded.
After completing the mission procedures for them, she sent a message to the Grand Elder and the others.
The Grand Elder and the others had been waiting for Lu Yu and the others to return.
After receiving the message, the elders quickly arrived at the mission hall in no time.
"You're back. How did the mission go?" After seeing Lu Yu and the others, the Grand Elder and the others didn't immediately interrogate them, but asked in an inquiring tone.
Before returning, Lu Yu had already talked to Mu An and the others, so they naturally had a set of explanations to deal with.
"Grand Elder, this mission was very difficult." Lu Yu put on a sorrowful expression and began his performance.
"Grand Elder, the mission you gave us was that Kong Sheng senior brother was seriously injured in Tianya City, right?"
"That's right." The Grand Elder nodded.
But in fact, he knew very well whether Kong Sheng was seriously injured or not.
"Unfortunately, we arrived too late. Kong Sheng senior brother... he was killed!"
"What happened exactly? Tell us." The Grand Elder continued to ask with a furrowed brow.
"I know this. Let me speak for Junior Brother Lu Yu." Just as Lu Yu was about to continue, Mu An interrupted and said.
With him taking over, the elders finally remembered that there was another person involved in the incident.
He had gone to Tianya City with Kong Sheng to ambush Lu Yu and the others. In theory, he should have witnessed the whole process of the incident.
It would be a good choice for him to explain the course of events.
