Quinn died, framed by Zai Qiu, executed on the spot instantly. For those who acted, they were all from the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect.
Fan Miaoyu stared in shock at the scene before her, she only felt her blood being frozen as her entire body went cold. Quinn’s sword dripped with blood, that was a blood from a member of the Core Faction. He slashed apart another cultivator’s arm but at that moment, Zai Qiu’s palm imprint slammed right into his heart, withering his life instantly while Xia Sheng’s fist smashed into his back, crushing his internal organs. There was also another spear that was embedded through the center of his forehead. He died in an extremely tragic manner.
Fan Miaoyu panted, she would never have imagined even in his dreams that Zai Qiu and the others would actually slaughter Quinn right on the spot. When Zai Qiu bellowed that his surname was Zai, the others all acted at that instant, surrounding Quinn and giving him no chance at all. Zai Qiu wanted to act before reporting, this was the only way he could get revenge for Sun Qing. In truth, the death of Sun Qing wasn’t something Quinn wanted. But at that moment, he and Qin Wentian could only save one person, and they had chosen Fan Miaoyu.
And because of this choice, it led to this bloody scene right now. One could only imagine what Fan Miaoyu was feeling. She had never imagined the Royal Sacred Sect would be so cruel and cold-blooded.
Siko’s heart also trembled violently as he stared at how Quinn died. His eyes turned red and he drew in a deep breath, trying his best to calm his heart. His personality had always been so that he could endure patiently. He had always believed that the human heart was unpredictable and treacherous, hence he warned Quinn before this. However, Quinn didn’t take his warning to heart, and Siko also thought that Zai Qiu wouldn’t be so ruthless. But in reality, he still underestimated the determination of Zai Qiu wanting to kill Quinn.
Siko in fact, was certain that Zai Qiu had not reported this matter up and obtained approval, but was rather acting first with no regards to the consequences. If not, the upper echelons would definitely never allow the tyrannical killing of a Heaven Chosen from the Battle Sword Faction. This was also the reason why they believed that today, Quinn wouldn’t be in any danger, hence he didn’t strongly try to change Quinn’s mind.
Zai Qiu retracted his palm that had smashed Quinn’s heart. Quinn softly flopped to the ground, lying in his pool of blood. A peak-tier Heavenly Dipper Sovereign of the Battle Sword Sect died just like that, with grievances.
Right now, all those who were gathered here, all felt their hearts shivering at Zai Qiu’s methods.
"The orders of my Royal Sacred Sect are as heavy as mountains, one has to obey them, yet Quinn chose to disobey. Not only that, he placed one of us in danger by trying to lead a buried immortal to her. Such a traitorous person, we will kill without mercy," Zai Qiu’s cold voice echoed in the silence of this space. Fan Miaoyu felt cold, extremely cold. What a good usage of the word ‘traitorous,’ killing without mercy, pinning the crime on Quinn. Since Zai Qiu wanted to kill Quinn no matter what, all further discussions already had no meaning. All this happened simply because his surname was Zai.
"What happened?" a cold voice rang out. Evidently, there were people who discovered the situation here and soon after, experts from the Royal Sacred Sect arrived.
"Quinn rebelled against Elder Li’s command, causing junior brother Sun Qing’s death and even trying to implicate junior sister Shang when back in the immortal realm. Hence, I killed him," Zai Qiu spoke. Upon hearing him mention the name Elder Li, everyone didn’t dare to say anything.
Soon after, a voice resounded out. "Zai Qiu, Elder Li tells you to head alone to his palace. The others are free to disperse."
"Roger." Zai Qiu’s silhouette flickered. He coldly glanced at Quinn’s corpse before departing while silently adding in his heart, "One more to kill!"
Xia Sheng and the others all departed as well. Siko walked up, he grabbed Quinn’s corpse before he turned and left. Fan Miaoyu followed behind Siko and at this moment, this era-suppressing genius was evidently in a dazed state. She still had no way to accept the fact that Quinn was killed just like that.
...
Zai Qiu arrived in the abode of Elder Li. And noting the cold gaze of that elder, Zai Qiu didn’t dare to meet his gaze. What Siko guessed was right, Zai Qiu acted first before seeking approval.
"Zai Qiu, what nonsense have you done?" That elder surnamed Li berated. Killing a Heaven Chosen of the Battle Sword Faction would definitely create waves of repercussion.
"Uncle-master, someone needs to pay for the death of junior brother Sun Qing." Zai Qiu didn’t hide anything in front of Elder Li. He was doing this to avenge Sun Qing, and as for pinning the crime onto Quinn, that was simply an excuse to the others. But in front of his master’s apprentice brother, he didn’t need to hide anything.
"So you chose to act before gaining approval, killing him together with Xia Sheng and the rest?" Elder Li coldly spoke. "Who else is involved in this?"
"There’s still Qin Wentian." Zai Qiu spoke. "That young man and Quinn are both too arrogant, he even dared to reject uncle-master’s invitation back then. For people such as him, there’s no need to consider anything more. Since he refused to join us, KILL HIM!"
As the sound of the word ‘kill’ faded, an intense coldness radiated from Zai Qiu. Elder Li stared at Zai Qiu causing Zai Qiu to lower his head. He didn’t know what his uncle-master’s intentions were, he could never see through him.
After a long time, Elder Li then stated, "The repercussions of this will be intense."
"Repercussions? We are the Royal Sacred Sect and we control all the factions. We are the Hegemony not because of benevolence and kindness, but rather, we have strength enough to dominate everything. If the Battle Sword Sect is unhappy, they can scram the fuck out from our Royal Sacred Sect. There would be no lack of other major powers who want to replace the Battle Sword Sect as one of the nine great sects. Without the protection of our sect, the Battle Sword Sect would face the ambitions of the other major powers in this Royal Sacred Region. How long could they last?"
Zai Qiu inclined his head as he spoke. The words ‘Our Royal Sacred Sect,’ indicated that the other Factions were all merely tools for them to use. In his heart, the Core Faction was the only true faction of the Royal Sacred Sect.
