Liu Yun immediately felt genuine admiration and politely said to the masked person: "Thank you, Sect Leader, for your grace."

Then Liu Yun summoned a sword from his Void Mansion, which was the Soul Device forcibly taken after the death of the Acting Sect Leader two nights ago.

Just as Liu Yun held the sword in his hand, the Elder from the Discipline Hall arrived. He came because Liu Qian had found him earlier and told him everything.

At this moment, Liu Qian was notifying another Elder and leading a group of disciples who were on their way. Even if the mastermind possessed incredible power, it would be impossible to challenge the entire sect single-handedly.

The Taoxuan Heavenly Sect has existed for thousands of years; without any foundation, how could it become the number one sect in the Human Realm after the Star-Gazing Pavilion?

At this time, the Elder from the Discipline Hall followed Liu Yun and heard the conversation between Liu Yun and the masked person. Upon hearing that Liu Yun was the traitor, the Elder from the Discipline Hall angrily pushed open the door.

His powerful voice echoed through the Treasure Pavilion: "Liu Yun, you traitorous disciple who disgraced your sect! I never expected you to be the real culprit who betrayed the sect and caused the Acting Sect Leader’s death. Today, I shall execute justice on you, you scoundrel."

Hearing this, Liu Yun suddenly turned his head and saw the Elder from the Discipline Hall angrily entering the scene, leaving Liu Yun stunned and lost in thought.

He did not expect the Elder from the Discipline Hall would come here specifically to monitor him. His perfect plan shouldn’t have been exposed. He didn’t understand how the Elder from the Discipline Hall discovered his flaw.

When Liu Yun turned around, the masked person sitting in the chair was startled but quickly regained composure, realizing that since Lin Feng could ambush here in advance, it was not surprising for that old man from the Discipline Hall to arrive too.

The masked person gently raised her eyebrows in the brightly lit hall and said to Liu Yun, who stood with his back to her: "Use the Sky-cutting Sword in your hand, and you can easily kill him. What are you so nervous about?"

The masked person’s words were decisive because she saw that Liu Yun’s cultivation of the Seven Spirit Knot could not possibly match the Eight Spirit Knot peak-level Elder from the Discipline Hall.

Facing such an existence, Liu Yun could only surrender.

But upon hearing the masked woman’s words, a glimmer of light flickered in Liu Yun’s eyes. Since he had already killed the Acting Sect Leader, another Elder from the Discipline Hall was nothing more.

No matter what, he couldn’t allow his ultimate plan to fail, so Liu Yun directly swung the "Sky-cutting Sword."

As the sword swung horizontally, its powerful light immediately sliced through space, reaching the Elder from the Discipline Hall. The Elder was already blinded by anger since Liu Yun was the one he had supported to become the Sect Leader. In total, the fury combined with disappointment and the shock of being betrayed by Liu Yun overwhelmed him, not expecting Liu Yun to strike him. Thus, with just one strike, the Elder from the Discipline Hall lost his vitality and fell to the ground.

The "Sky-cutting Sword" didn’t harm the Elder’s skin; instead, it directly sliced through space, severing the Elder’s soul. Had the Elder from the Discipline Hall exerted his power to block, he could have stopped the strike, but that’s the thing: the swords that can kill you are the ones you can block. It’s only after these swords kill you that you comprehend their intricacies.

Thus, the Elder from the Discipline Hall fell to the ground, while Lin Feng observed everything clearly from beginning to end.

At this moment, Lin Feng acted, directly sealing Liu Yun’s meridians.

Liu Yun’s blood flow reversed, immediately immobilizing and killing him, while the "Sky-cutting Sword" was also taken by Lin Feng. Upon witnessing the situation, the masked person immediately flashed outside and sped away. It turns out, with Liu Yun as their inside help, those black-robed individuals were able to smoothly reach the mountain and used spells to fly up directly. Moreover, the mountain bandits came with Liu Yun’s assistance. Earlier, the masked woman, possibly Su Liqian, seemed to have obtained the sect’s identity mark, allowing her to freely use her power without being restrained by the barrier.

Upon seeing the masked person leave, Lin Feng immediately picked up the "Sky-cutting Sword" and chased after her. Lin Feng didn’t know why the masked person wanted him to hide behind her; maybe she wanted to avoid her deal failing. But because of this, Lin Feng succeeded in thwarting their plan and recovered the Soul Device.

While Lin Feng was still pondering, what happened next immediately gave him the answer.

At this moment, the last remaining Elder Cangmu from the sect, leading more than a hundred disciples of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect, arrived here. Liu Qian was also beside Cangmu.

Seeing the masked person had disappeared without a trace, Lin Feng stopped.

Cangmu immediately spotted the "Sky-cutting Sword" in Lin Feng’s hand and then entered the room to see the deceased Elder from the Discipline Hall. Cangmu quickly bent down, and at that moment, the various stewards, disciples, and some people of authority from the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect were present, all of them with shocked expressions in their eyes.

It was all very clear. Lin Feng held the "Sky-cutting Sword," killed the Elder from the Discipline Hall, and also killed the new Sect Leader Liu Yun.
