Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"You, you stop making trouble and talking nonsense!" Elder Su hurriedly began to defend himself.

When one side starts using such words to defend themselves, it means they have already fallen into a disadvantageous position!

Elder Li sneered, "Then let us in. I want to see how the Sect Master died. With you blocking us like this, who knows if the Sect Master was murdered by someone!"

"Don't talk nonsense. As an elder, you must be responsible for your words and actions."

Elder Su's expression changed several times. If he really didn't let Elder Li in, then he would probably be influenced by his disciples' speculations.

Finally, he seemed to have come to a conclusion, and with a troubled expression, he slowly said, "Elder Li can go in, but the Holy Maiden should wait outside. Men and women are ultimately different, and this is the last respect we can show to the former sect leader."

Liu Qing snorted coldly: "Impossible! I'm going in too. The sect leader left a will before his death. Who knows if you'll do anything underhanded? I'm going in to keep an eye on things!"

"So, shall we just stay here and wait it out?" Elder Su turned his head away, showing no intention of making way.

Elder Li pondered for a long time before finally giving Liu Qing a wink, indicating that he would go in first to check the situation.

After a moment's thought, Liu Qing finally nodded in agreement.

Elder Li walked over and pushed Elder Su aside: "Get out of the way!"

Elder Su patted his clothes: "Show some respect! What kind of attitude is this!"

Despite saying that, he still obediently stepped aside and let Elder Li go in.

Elder Su looked at Ye Chen behind Liu Qing with a mocking expression: "This person doesn't seem to be a disciple of our Luoshui Sect, does he? What's he doing here? Could he be a spy here to gather intelligence on our Luoshui Sect?"

Liu Qing snorted coldly: "Elder Su, as an elder, your mouth is so foul. Is this how an elder should act? He was my friend. Is it wrong for him to come and mourn the sect leader?!"

Elder Su gave Ye Chen a meaningful look and then said nothing more.

Ye Chen quietly acted as if he were invisible, because frankly, he didn't trust any of the people here.

He doesn't care at all who is a good person or a bad person.

He's just here to make a deal today, and maybe watch the show on the side.

"ah--"

Just then, a scream came from inside the house.

Liu Qing's expression tightened. That was Elder Li's voice. What happened to him?

"How dare you lay a hand on Elder Li?" Liu Qing was furious and rushed towards the gate.

At this moment, Elder Su's aura surged, and he met Liu Qing.

"You think you can force your way in? Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a saint!"

Liu Qing then started fighting with Elder Su.

The disciples immediately started discussing it, unsure of what to do.

Why did they suddenly start fighting?

Although both are at the Foundation Establishment stage, there is still a significant difference in their strength.

Liu Qing had clearly only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cultivation was somewhat superficial, while Elder Su was an old and veteran Foundation Establishment expert.

Although both of them appeared to be at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Liu Qing immediately found himself at a disadvantage as soon as they exchanged blows.

This is due to insufficient control over one's own strength and a lack of experience in dealing with enemies.

These things all need time to settle.

Inside the mansion, Elder Li's angry shouts rang out again: "You actually—"

But before he could finish speaking, his words came to an abrupt halt, replaced by an even louder voice.

"Elder Li, you dare to collude with outsiders, attempting to usurp the thousand-year-old foundation of the Luoshui Sect! Your crime deserves death!"

The disciples outside must have all heard the sound, and for a moment they looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.

But one thing is certain: something has definitely gone wrong inside.

As for what changes might occur, they could guess to some extent that it was simply a matter of who would take power.

For ordinary disciples, they don't care who goes on stage, or rather, it's useless for them to care.

Anyway, they don't have the power to care.

What they care about is choosing sides.

The most important thing in factional struggles is choosing sides.

It wasn't a big deal before; it didn't matter who I followed, as long as it didn't harm my own interests.

The factional struggles had nothing to do with these ordinary disciples; everyone continued to receive their monthly supplies as usual.

Following the Holy Maiden and Elder Li is fine, but following Elder Su and the others is also an option.

They'll side with whoever treats them well, or whoever they like!

But things are different now. The old sect leader is dead, and this is a question of who will take the throne.

Choosing sides now is not the same as before; taking sides haphazardly can lead to trouble!

If you stand on the wrong side, your status in the Luoshui Sect will be worse than that of a dog.

The disciples who were originally from Elder Su's faction were all excited, as if they had successfully chosen a side.

When the old sect leader was still alive, the two factions were somewhat evenly matched, but after the old sect leader left, the scales tipped.

Judging from the noise, Elder Li must have been taken into custody.

Now that Saintess Liu Qing is being suppressed and beaten, it can be said that the Saintess's faction is already showing signs of losing momentum.

Those disciples who originally sided with the Holy Maiden had the most complex expressions.

What to do, what to do? The situation doesn't look good.

It seems that the Holy Maiden and Elder Li have lost control of the situation.

That means the position of sect leader is also out of the question for the Holy Maiden...

If they still stand on the side of the Holy Maiden, will they have a good outcome when the new sect leader takes over?

For a time, many people wavered, just as they had thought before, it didn't matter which faction they stood on.

Why didn't they choose a more promising faction...?

Just as the disciples were having different thoughts, five people came out of the house.

Elder Li was among them, but he had already fainted and had to be dragged out!

The other four people included two elderly men and two middle-aged men.

When Ye Chen saw the group appear, he raised an eyebrow. All four of them were Foundation Establishment experts.

Ah, the information Liu Qing gave him wasn't very accurate.

Wasn't it said that the other side only had three Foundation Establishment cultivators? How come there are two more out of nowhere?

It seems these two Foundation Establishment cultivators are reinforcements they invited!

Upon seeing the group emerge, Liu Qing and Elder Su ceased their fight.

Liu Qing retreated to Ye Chen's side, after all, Ye Chen was now her only ally she could trust.

Sure enough, the most reliable relationships are those based on transactions; the relationship is maintained even before the transaction is completed.

When Liu Qing clearly saw the situation on the field, her body trembled slightly.

I don't know if they realized those people were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Elder Li, Elder Li?" Liu Qing called out twice.

However, Elder Li did not seem to wake up, and it appeared that he was seriously injured!

At this moment, the white-browed old man who was leading the group waved his hand, and the man who was holding Elder Li threw Elder Li directly onto the field.

"Elder Li betrayed the sect and attempted to damage and tamper with the old sect leader's last will and testament. Do you think he should be killed?" the old man said loudly, looking around at the entire audience.
