It did not take even a minute for Bai Chen to bring the body of Tai Yang the Strange into the confines of the four-star formation.
He released the collar of the outfit on the body before looking at it a little. Bai Chen found that Tai Yang the Strange had died with his eyes wide open. Both eyes were rolled back so that the whites could be seen and revealed the fear in them.
Bai Chen had had no conflict with the old man from the start, so he closed the eyes using his hand.
‘Now that Tai Yang is dead, the Lunar Land sect should no longer be in danger.’
Bai Chen thought this to himself before rising to his feet after closing Tai Yang’s eyes a moment earlier.
He stood still for a while before using the stargazing walker skill to collect his four-star formation.
He spent less than ten minutes doing so, before sending it back into the dimension ring instantly.
After stowing away the four-star formation, Bai Chen brought Tai Yang the Strange’s body to the inner pavilion.
He wanted to show the body to Xu Xue Ning and the other members of the Lunar Land sect.
When they learned about Tai Yang’s death, they would finally relax and be happy, because his death would mean the cloud of danger that had been looming over the sect had finally been dispersed.
While bringing the body to the inner pavilion, Bai Chen thought of going home tomorrow. In his mind, this place no longer needed his help.
He spent less than ten minutes getting to the inner pavilion.
There was not a single Lunar Land sect lady in sight—only lights shining through the windows of many houses on his path could be seen.
The man merely thought that it was late. Thus, it was normal for the ladies to be resting inside and to not come out.
Bai Chen took his hand off Tai Yang’s collar once more. He was preparing to enter the inner pavilion in order to call Xu Xue Ning and friends to come see Tai Yang the Strange’s body.
However, Bai Chen froze. He no longer wanted to go to the inner pavilion because he suddenly remembered there was nobody there.
When Xu Xue Ning was preparing his room, she had told him that all of them were going to stay in the tenth house so he stayed in the pavilion comfortably by himself.
Of course, it was because they thought he was a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator.
When a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator visited the sect, how could they not welcome him to the best of their abilities?
Bai Chen stood and thought to himself before deciding to go see Xu Xue Ning at the tenth house. He turned towards the house which was located close to the entrance to the pavilion where he was standing.
But when he turned around, Bai Chen was surprised as he saw the house’s door swing open. Three people walked out hurriedly. They were Xu Xue Ning, Zheng Fang, and Zheng Feng—their faces expressed panic.
The reason they had hurried out of their house was that the smell of blood was in the air.
Naturally, Zheng Fang and Zheng Feng had sensed it because they were Earth Solid Realm cultivators. Xu Xue Ning, being only at the Formation realm, did not have the ability to sense it.
It was obvious that the level of cultivation made a world of a difference, as could be seen from the far-reaching senses of the Earth Solid Realm cultivators.
The fact that Xu Xue Ning had also come out must have meant that she’d heard the footsteps of the other two.
When she had heard them, she also left the house with no hesitation. If not, all the cultivators of the Lunar Land sect would have also rushed out to observe the situation as well.
When the three came out of the house, their eyes widened considerably and their hearts beat fast when they saw a body of an old man.
Even though they were quite far off, for a Formation Realm cultivator as Xu Xue Ning herself, to tell whether a body was breathing or not posed no challenge at all.
The Zheng sisters’ reactions were the same as Xu Xue Ning’s. The three of them were shocked, panicked, and awed at seeing the old man’s dead body.
“What happened?” Zheng Fang whispered. She calmed herself down very quickly.
Seeing a dead person was nothing new to her. She had seen plenty and had even killed a number herself. It was normal for her to have calmed down relatively quickly.
Zheng Feng and Xu Xue Ning had also calmed down now.
They moved their gazes from the body up to Bai Chen who was standing there with an expressionless face. They knew, with one hundred percent certainty, that this had something to do with him.
Bai Chen met all of their eyes before pointing at Tai Yang the Strange’s dead body.
Under the darkness of night, he thought that it was normal if they had not seen Tai Yang’s face clearly, even if they were cultivators.
“This was Tai Yang the Strange. I killed him for you,” he said, his voice exceedingly calm.
“W... what?!?”
The three of them shouted in unison after hearing what Bai Chen had said. Their combined voice was shaky, as were their stances.
The three widened their eyes and looked at Bai Chen as if he were a cryptid.
If what he said was true, then he was not different from a cryptid. This was because he had just killed a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator and sustained no injuries whatsoever.
That, to their eyes, was no different from being a cryptid!
After a while, the three of them took deep breaths, trying to suppress all the emotions within themselves.
Zheng Fang slowly stepped forward towards Tai Yang the Strange’s body. When she got close enough to see the body’s face, she froze on the spot.
Her eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Her heart almost stopped beating. Even her breathing was uneasy.
‘It... it truly is Tai Yang the Strange!’Inside, Zheng Fang was thoroughly shaken!
Among the three ladies who had rushed out, she was the only one who had seen Tai Yang’s face before. Thus, it had to be her who stepped forward to look.
Yet, she still could not believe that a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator such as Tai Yang the Strange would meet his end in this fashion. To her, this was such an unbelievable story!
