Upon hearing his disciple’s words, the White-robed Elder’s eyes immediately filled with a sharp gleam. He coldly said:

"Let him in. I want to hear what’s so important that it came up to me..."

The White-robed disciple, upon hearing the Elder’s words, slightly shifted his body and respectfully nodded before stepping out.

Not long after the disciple left, he slowly returned, followed by a white-haired Elder.

As the disciple walked up to the Elder, a fierce gleam flashed in the latter’s eyes, focusing on the white-haired Elder behind the disciple.

The White-robed Elder focused his gaze as the white-haired Elder’s eyes lit up with joy. The Elder said:

"Great Elder, I finally see you!"

The White-robed Elder, upon hearing the white-haired Elder’s voice, frowned slightly and coldly said:

"Fourth Elder? Why are you here? What on earth has happened?"

Upon hearing the White-robed Elder’s words, the white-haired Elder’s eyes flashed with shock as he said:

"Great Elder, something terrible has happened in the Skeleton Sect! Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu, leading a group of disciples, have attacked the Second and Third Elders!"

The White-robed Elder, upon hearing this, was visibly astonished and coldly asked:

"When did this happen? Why would Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu lead disciples to attack the Second and Third Elders?"

After hearing the White-robed Elder’s question, the Fourth Elder’s eyes gleamed with uncertainty as he said:

"Great Elder, that’s how it is. I never expected Zhuge Qing, who usually doesn’t show any strength in the Skeleton Sect, would suddenly attack the Second and Third Elders?"

The White-robed Elder narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"Zhuge Qing attacked the Second and Third Elders? He has such strength? And the Sect Master didn’t stop them?"

The Fourth Elder listened to the White-robed Elder and with a flicker of insight replied:

"Great Elder, it seems the Sect Master is in trouble..."

The White-robed Elder, upon hearing this, showed a sharp glint of doubt and said:

"The Sect Master is in trouble? How could that be possible? I know his strength. What could happen to him with such power?"

The Fourth Elder’s eyes flashed as he confided to the Great Elder:

"I’m afraid the Sect Master is dead..."

Shocked, the White-robed Elder said, eyes wide:

"What!? The Sect Master is dead!? How is that possible!"

The Fourth Elder, noticing the White-robed Elder’s reaction, seemed troubled and softly said:

"The Sect Master is truly dead. I heard it from other Sect disciples, explaining why Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu dared to attack the Second and Third Elders with such audacity!"

The White-robed Elder, upon hearing the Fourth Elder’s explanation, narrowed his eyes and coldly said:

"Even without the Sect Master’s restraint, I doubt Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu could easily overpower the Second and Third Elders, right?"

The Fourth Elder, hearing these words, passionately said:

"Great Elder, you may not know, but while Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu alone aren’t a match for the Second and Third Elders, they seem to have allied with a powerful warrior from beyond. This warrior even bested the Second and Third Elders!"

The White-robed Elder, surprised, said:

"What? Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu have such a powerful ally?"

The Fourth Elder passionately confirmed:

"Great Elder, it’s true. This warrior is so potent, neither the Second nor Third Elders can contend with him. I fear I also cannot, thus I’ve come to you..."

The White-robed Elder, on hearing this, became sharply aware and coldly declared:

"So, much of our Skeleton Sect has already fallen under another’s control?"

The Fourth Elder responded with resignation:

"Great Elder, indeed. Now, our two forces are all that remain in the Skeleton Sect..."

The White-robed Elder, eyes blazing, coldly concluded:

"I never anticipated Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu would dare collude with outsiders against our Sect at this time, clearly they needed stricter discipline. It’s time to teach them a lesson!"

The Fourth Elder, his plan evident in his eyes, implored sincerely:

"Great Elder, please make a decision quickly. Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu are strong, but I alone cannot defeat them; only with your aid can we prevail..."

The White-robed Elder, glint of resolve in his eyes, coldly agreed:

"Very well, I will see what waves Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu can stir!"

As he spoke, explosive energy surged from the White-robed Elder, stirring even the heavens and earth.

The Fourth Elder, feeling this eruption, was elated and said:

"This is excellent! With your aid, Great Elder, we will assuredly defeat Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu!"

The White-robed Elder pondered and asked:

"How many disciples do you still have?"

The Fourth Elder, considering this, replied:

"I have fewer than three hundred..."

The White-robed Elder, reassured, stated:

"It’s not many, but combined with my disciples, we might face Zhuge Qing and the others!"

Hearing this, the Fourth Elder’s eyes flickered with silent determination as he nodded gravely.

The White-robed Elder, seeing his reaction, showed fierce confidence.

The Fourth Elder, with a cold smile, emanated a resolute aura.
