j inzhou city.

yichun building.

early the next morning, liang sheng was refreshed, while zhang rongjun rubbed his old waist with a bitter smile on his face, thinking that he was really getting old.

liang sheng glanced at him, and zhang rongjun gave him a look that men understood. then, they both greeted each other and went their separate ways back home.

when liang sheng returned home, he planned to spend the whole morning waiting and observing the situation in jinzhou city. however, not long after, someone knocked at his door.

ma xiaoliu rushed in and said, “master, grandfather has passed away. the family is asking you to go to the ancestral hall now.”

hmm?

liang sheng was momentarily lost for words at this unexpected news. then, a guard from the liang family stepped forward and explained, “there was a disturbance last night. the elder was seriously injured in battle. despite calling for a doctor in time, he still passed away.”

liang sheng understood. after all, liang ping was at the post-natal “eighth” level realm but had previously suffered injuries. his age had caught up with him, and if an accident occurred, it would be understandable.

liang sheng sat silently in the horse carriage, feeling partially responsible for the accident that led to liang ping’s death. for a time, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

when he arrived at the ancestral hall, he could no longer stay low-profile, as all eyes were on him. after all, he was the only flesh and blood of liang ping left in this world.

at this moment, liang ying’s face was haggard, filled with grief over the loss of liang ping. he was now the only one left to carry on the liang family’s legacy.

after inheriting the position of patriarch and after the death of the ancestor, liang ping had been his most powerful supporter. at this moment, he greeted liang sheng who had just entered.

“brother sheng is here.”

“i pay my respects to the patriarch.”

liang sheng followed liang ying into the ancestral hall, and saw liang ping lying in his coffin, wearing his burial clothes, his face rosy, as if he were asleep.

although liang ping had never treated him as a son in all these years, liang sheng couldn’t help but feel suffocated at this moment.

no matter what, due to being liang ping’s son, he had been able to live a comfortable life, even as a “martial arts waste.”

at this moment, liang ying patted liang sheng’s shoulder without saying anything. liang sheng could only mechanically follow all the arrangements made by the liang family.

guarding the spirit, giving thanks for the condolences, carrying the banner into the burial, seven days passed in the blink of an eye. by then, liang sheng finally understood what had happened that night and began to reflect on himself.

from now on, he must not be so reckless. he should not get involved in power struggles without overwhelming strength. no matter how carefully planned, accidents could still happen.

he became more determined than ever to break away from this situation as soon as possible; otherwise, as a small boat caught in a whirlpool, he was very likely to capsize.

as it turned out, on that night, everything was going according to liang sheng’s script. the elder of the no-life sect was on the verge of escaping the encirclement but suddenly, someone blocked his way.

that person was none other than abbot xuanji of the discipline hall of jinshan temple. xia zhiqiu’s eyes brightened, and he couldn’t help but exclaim that he had misjudged the situation.

abbot xuanji of the discipline hall of jinshan temple was not a post-natal “eighth” level practitioner, but a top expert at the nine levels of the postnatal realm.

at this moment, the elder of the no-life sect was filled with anger and fear. jinshan temple was indeed a hidden den of fierce dragons as the heritage of the dharma sect.

but at the same time, xuan ji’s heart was full of bitterness, his cultivation level, hidden for a long time, now exposed to everyone’s eyes.

he had no choice but to do this.

on the night when xia zhiqiu’s open conspiracy took place, they had to make sure that all members of the no-life sect died in jinzhou city.

because the events of this night could not be leaked out, xia zhiqiu, as ruthless as he was, had boundaries.

however, the no-life sect was different – if they offended them, they would have to sever all roots to avoid disaster.

since the elder of the no-life sect was stopped by xuan ji, any hope of escape had turned into a delusion, especially given that xia zhiqiu would not let this opportunity slip away.

in the end, the results were clear: xia zhiqiu and xuan ji joined forces and killed the elder of the no-life sect, only at the cost of xuan ji’s slight injury.

the cause and effect of this matter were sealed at xuan ji’s insistence. considering the connection between prince ping’an’s mansion and jinshan temple, xia zhiqiu naturally ordered everyone present to keep it a secret.
