Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 562 Wu Wei's Heart Trembles

"Run!"

The person before me was reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving no trace of his body.

The sound of the magic pen brought Zhu Wuyao back from her shock.

She saw Wu Wei's stunned and bewildered look after the ashes had dissipated.

Zhu Wuyao didn't have time to think further.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and amidst the equally shocked and incredulous gazes of the elders, Zhu Wuyao once again reached out and retrieved countless illusory world bodies from the void.

The reflections on the ground, like startled fish, scattered and fled in the dark pool.

The formation had long since lost its order and become chaotic under Zhu Wuyao's attacks. The formations were even attacking each other. Most of the elders realized that Zhu Wuyao was trying to escape and hurriedly tried to take over control of the formation and stop him.

Zhu Wuyao appeared several times, his movements extremely strange and his whereabouts unpredictable. In the end, he escaped from the Juque Sect while being pursued by many people.

She ran forward at breakneck speed, not daring to stop.

What just happened was completely unexpected for Zhu Wuyao.

Why did the leader of the Juque Sect suddenly teleport in front of Wu Wei and block the incoming sword at the moment it fell?

Amidst the whistling wind, the astonished gaze of the Juque Sect leader and the stunned expression of Wu Wei came to mind...

Zhu Wuyao quickly realized that this was an unexpected turn of events for the three of them.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Several hours later, Zhu Wuyao finally stopped fleeing.

She hid in the desolate wilderness.

This battle was extremely costly, even resulting in a noticeable decrease in the number of Illusionary Beings.

The final result was not the expected killing of Wu Wei, but the killing of the Juque Sect leader who shouldn't be dead at this time...

With the death of the leader of the Juque Sect, Wu Wei, as an extremely powerful elder, was able to immediately usurp the throne.

Even the words are correct and appropriate.

Because the leader of the Juque Sect was killed by Luoye Yaoqiu in full view of all the disciples... Wu Wei is completely innocent.

Substitutions made at the last minute can all be described as—

Elder Wu Wei is indispensable to the Juque Sect. The sect leader was willing to sacrifice himself to teleport in front of Wu Wei to block the sword and protect his senior brother. This is the meaning of passing on the position to him.

With Wu Wei's abilities, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Zhu Wuyao leaned against the cave wall, her brows furrowed slightly, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

With Wu Wei's ability to become the sect leader, he will be able to gather all forces in a very short time and to the greatest extent possible. He is not a mediocre and incompetent person like the original sect leader.

The Juque School has been given a new lease on life.

Moreover... if I'm not mistaken, the fragments of the Heavenly Dao should be in the possession of a powerful enemy of the Giant Sword Sect.

Wu Wei was unaware of this person's danger and, unlike the leader of the Juque Sect, was not wary of him. This increased the chances of the powerful enemy escaping.

Zhu Wuyao slowly exhaled.

I tried to calm myself down.

Being calculated.

It seems that when I foresaw that "Fallen Leaves Inviting Autumn to the Chaotic South," I had already become a bargaining chip for that powerful enemy.

Regardless of my choice, the other party's escape is imperative.

If Zhu Wuyao, out of curiosity, were to venture into the chaotic southern lands to investigate, she would find a trap laid in the shadows, a formidable enemy lurking there, and she would gain the trust of the Juque Sect leader, which would make it easier for her to escape.

If Zhu Wuyao does nothing, the powerful enemy will seize the opportunity while Zhu Wuyao is not causing trouble, and continue to persuade the leader of the Juque Sect at the original pace in order to escape the predicament.

If Zhu Wuyao seizes this opportunity to sow discord and goes to the Juque Sect in person, he will, just as he did tonight, personally speed up the escape of their powerful enemy.

If she doesn't personally visit the Juque Sect, she can only do things through Zhang Zhihan and Ge Mingsheng, which would be even riskier.

How could there be such a troublesome person...

Zhu Wuyao, having exhausted his spiritual energy, took Song Kezi out but before he could speak, locked him back into the well-ventilated Pinghe Cauldron.

He fell into a deep sleep.

"what?"

The Star-Picking Tower, the Hall of Enlightenment.

Gu Yiguan frowned as he heard the report from his subordinate.

"Luoye Yaoqiu stormed into the Juque Sect, intending to kill Elder Wuwei, but the Juque Sect Leader blocked a fatal sword at the critical moment."

"When Wu Wei, who was saved by the leader of the Juque Sect, reappeared, he was filled with grief and vowed to fight Luo Ye Yao Qiu to the death and avenge his junior brother."

"Heh..." Gu Yiguan chuckled incredulously, as if he had heard an utterly absurd joke.

Will the leader of the Juque Sect risk his life to protect his senior brother?

"If it is said that Wu Wei secretly did something to the sect leader to shift the blame for his death, that would be plausible."

She raised her hand to rub her temples, and heard her subordinate continue speaking:

"Sect Leader, it's not that no one has raised such suspicions; some have even said that he and Luo Ye Yao Qiu joined forces to usurp the throne."

"But over the past few hundred years, Wu Wei has infiltrated deeply in various places, and the Juque Sect has his people everywhere from top to bottom."

"Moreover, the sudden appearance of the Juque Sect Leader before Wu Wei is something that everyone can see..."

Ultimately, it's strength that matters.

“Wu Wei and Luo Ye Yao Qiu joined forces to usurp the throne…” Gu Yi Guan murmured, supporting his forehead.

She pondered for a moment.

"This is impossible..." Gu Yiguan seemed to be responding to his subordinates, but it also sounded like he was talking to himself.

Although Zhu Wuyao has grown rapidly and begun to learn how to strategize, make moves, and plan for the future, she would never join forces with the Juque Sect.

Because of Nanli City, because of the Osmanthus Fairy.

Hatred is sometimes more reliable.

Since it wasn't a joint effort with Wu Wei to kill the Juque Sect leader and seize power, then was it really necessary for Zhu Wuyao to kill the Juque Sect leader...?

Her gaze fell on the document detailing the matter, and she began to speculate on various possibilities.

"Perhaps Wu Wei secretly did something to the leader of the Juque Sect, using Zhu Wuyao to remove obstacles to his usurpation of power."

Gu Yiguan slowly uttered this conclusion.

This is the most reasonable inference.

But there was still doubt in her eyes, as if she didn't quite believe the conclusion.

"Let's organize Zhu Wuyao's experiences before this."

After his subordinates left the Enlightenment Hall, Gu Yiguan fell into deep thought.

If Wu Wei is that powerful, could he really tamper with the leader of the Juque Sect?

With Zhu Wuyao's current abilities, would she be outmaneuvered?

At least one thing is certain: the leader of the Juque Sect absolutely does not possess such a spirit of sacrifice; there is more to this matter than meets the eye.

Who will ultimately benefit... Gu Yiguan frowned, realizing that they had come full circle—this matter benefits the Juque Sect and Wu Wei.

Did she underestimate Wu Wei?

The Juque School.

Even now, Wu Wei still feels a chill run down his spine whenever he recalls what happened that night.

Luo Ye Yao Qiu was so strong that he could kill his way to him... But what surprised and bewildered him even more was that when the sword fell in front of him, Wu Wei was already prepared to deal with it, but his junior brother, the sect leader, suddenly appeared.

He took the sword for him.

Could it be that he has been misunderstanding his junior brother all along, and that his junior brother actually harbors feelings of affection for him...? The thought of this possibility made Wu Wei's heart pound with fear.

It's impossible!
