Upon hearing the words of the long-bearded Elder, everyone’s eyes flickered slightly, their mouths quivered, and many white-robed disciples retreated from the Elder’s side.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing and Ding Fan also couldn’t help but let a faint arc trace their mouths, Zhuge Qing coldly said:

"Second Elder, truly impressive, you have my admiration..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the long-bearded Elder frowned, and a faint voice instantly came from the white-robed Elder’s mouth:

"Enough talk, what’s the matter!"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flickered slightly. After a slight pause, Zhuge Qing coldly said:

"To tell the truth, Second Elder, I came here today to report a major event!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the long-bearded Elder frowned again, and a faint voice instantly came from his mouth:

"What could be so important to cause such a commotion?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flickered slightly, he squinted a bit, and the voice instantly came from Ding Fan’s mouth:

"The Sect Leader is dead..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the long-bearded Elder’s eyes widened, filled with astonishment, and a shocked voice instantly came from his mouth:

"What did you say?! The Sect Leader is dead? How is that possible?! How could the Sect Leader die!"

Hearing these words from the Second Elder, Zhuge Qing coldly said:

"Second Elder, I speak the truth, the Sect Leader is indeed dead, my brother here can testify!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the long-bearded Elder looked shocked toward Ding Fan’s direction, and his voice once again came out:

"Second-in-command, can you tell me what happened, with the Sect Leader’s strength, how could he be killed easily?"

After hearing the Second Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flickered slightly, his lips curled slightly, and he coldly said:

"Second Elder, do you still remember the Sirius Tomb we’ve been pursuing in the Skeleton Sect?"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder frowned again, and his voice came out:

"Of course I remember, it’s said that the Sirius’s legacy is within that tomb, could it be..."

The Elder’s eyes widened, looking shocked towards Zhuge Qing’s direction.

Seeing the Elder’s reaction, Zhuge Qing’s mouth curved up slightly, and he coldly said:

"Second Elder, that’s right, this time the Sect Leader died in the Sirius Tomb..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder’s eyes widened, and his shocked voice instantly came out:

"This... how is it possible? Did the Sect Leader really find the Sirius Tomb? Why have I never heard of this news?"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing coldly said:

"Second Elder, only a few within the sect knew, the Sect Leader kept it secret, privately leading his brothers into the Sirius Tomb, but he never expected an accident in the tomb!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, anger flashed in the Elder’s eyes, he paused slightly, and his voice instantly came out:

"What happened to the Sect Leader in the Sirius Tomb?"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flickered, his lips quivered slightly, and he coldly said:

"The Sect Leader was about to inherit the Sirius legacy when he was sabotaged by someone and died!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder’s eyes widened again, and his voice instantly came out:

"What do you mean? The Sect Leader was sabotaged by someone? Wasn’t it said that the Sect Leader’s movements this time were particularly secretive, no one should know?"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s mouth curved slightly, and he coldly said:

"This has baffled us as well, but knowing the Sect Leader’s movements must have been someone from the Skeleton Sect, holding a significant position within!"

Upon hearing this, terror filled the Elder’s eyes, he stared fixedly at Zhuge Qing’s body, his mouth quivered slightly, and his voice once again came out:

"Then why have you come to me today?"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing coldly said:

"I’m here today not for anything else but for the future of our Skeleton Sect..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder’s eyes flashed fiercely, and his voice instantly came out:

"Future? Second-in-command, what do you mean by this?"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s mouth curved slightly, his speech paused a bit, and his voice instantly came out:

"Now that our Skeleton Sect is leaderless, if no one can take charge now, other forces will soon destroy us, such an important matter, I’m sure Second Elder won’t disagree?"

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, anger gathered in the Elder’s eyes again, and his voice instantly came out:

"You mean to say, you want to be the head of the Skeleton Sect?"

Upon hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing feigned surprise on his face, coldly saying:

"Second Elder jests, I know my position in Skeleton Sect, I’m aware I cannot become its head..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder’s expression softened a bit, and his voice instantly came out:

"Then what is the reason for your visit today?"

Seeing the Elder’s demeanor, Zhuge Qing’s mouth curved up mockingly, and his voice instantly came out:

"I want to invite Second Elder to come out and stabilize our Skeleton Sect’s future together!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder’s eyes flickered slightly, and his mouth quivered a bit, the voice instantly coming out:

"Invite me out? Haha, are you trying to get me to be the Sect Leader of Skeleton Sect?"

Upon hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s mouth curved slightly, and he coldly said:

"Second Elder, the position of Sect Leader is already chosen in our minds..."

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, fierce light flashed in the Elder’s eyes, and his voice instantly came out:

"The position of Sect Leader is chosen? Who is it? In the whole Skeleton Sect, I never knew there was someone so esteemed?"

After hearing the Elder’s words, Zhuge Qing’s mouth curved slightly, and he coldly said:

"Second Elder, the Sect Leader, is close by..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the Elder’s eyes widened, gazing fixedly at Ding Fan, his mouth quivered slightly, and his voice instantly came out:

"You mean him?"

The Elder’s finger pointed at Ding Fan, and seeing the Elder’s reaction, Ding Fan’s mouth curved slightly, and his voice instantly came out:

"Yes, that’s me..."
