A wave of grief and indignation surged within the Apothecary sect.

No one expected that the Sect Master Yu Yuntian, who possessed Demigod Realm cultivation, would die unexpectedly.

Even more unexpected was that Lin Chen, recently acknowledged as the successor of the sect after comprehending the Qi Huang Inner Canon, would be the murderer.

Overnight, Yu Feifei seemed to have matured considerably; her originally clear eyes now carried traces of coldness.

As the memorial ceremony just concluded, Zhou Fei impatiently said, "The sect cannot be without a master for a day; our most pressing matter now is to choose the new Sect Master."

"Elect a Sect Master!" Hearing Zhou Fei's words, the crowd thought of the old master's body still warm and yet he was already thinking of selecting a new Sect Master.

"I believe Yao Hui is upright in character and unmatched in strength within the sect. I think he is most suitable to be the Sect Master." An elder said.

"Indeed, there is no one more suitable than Yao Hui." Several other elders echoed.

Wang Chen and Pan Ying exchanged glances, each frowning.

Yu Yuntian had already agreed to pass the position of Sect Master to Lin Chen, so he had no reason to risk killing the Sect Master.

Moreover, the Sect Master was in the Demigod Realm; no matter how strong Lin Chen was, it was hard to kill Yu Yuntian without anyone noticing.

The ones benefiting the most now are Zhou Fei from the Heavenly Hall and his disciple, Yao Hui.

The scent of conspiracy was too strong here.

Two-thirds of the high-ranking members of the sect had already recommended Yao Hui for Sect Master, making the matter seem settled.

Yao Hui had a face full of pride, thinking, Lin Chen, so what if you comprehended the Qi Huang Inner Canon, you ultimately were chased out of the sect. Once I become Sect Master, I will issue a worldwide warrant for you, marking you as a treacherous villain.

"Since everyone is recommending Yao Hui as Sect Master, let's decide this matter." Zhou Fei smiled.

"Hold on a moment." At this moment, a crisp voice rang out.

Yu Feifei, wearing a white gauze dress, entered from outside with Wei Elder.

"Miss Feifei, what is your concern?" Zhou Fei said with a smile.

Yu Feifei snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Before my father passed, he had already arranged the position of Sect Master, but it was not for Yao Hui."

Zhou Fei snorted coldly, "Are you referring to that traitor Lin Chen?"

Wei Elder took out a jade decree and said indifferently the Sect Master's last will: "Should I meet an untimely death, pass the position of Sect Master to Feifei. I ask all Hall Masters and Elders to assist wholeheartedly. Anyone harboring ill intentions will be killed without mercy."

"Impossible, the Sect Master died suddenly; how could he have left such a will?" Zhou Fei's gaze turned cold, and he hurriedly said.

Wei Elder snorted coldly, handing the will for everyone to read.

The elders and Hall Masters nodded continuously upon seeing the jade decree, acknowledging that these were indeed the Sect Master's notes.

Seeing this will, more people began to harbor doubts in their hearts.

This matter was too peculiar; the Sect Master had left a testament while alive, obviously having realized something.

"Since the Sect Master had a will, the position should be inherited by Yu Feifei. Our Human Hall supports Feifei as Sect Master."

"Our Earth Hall also supports Feifei." Pan Ying agreed.

Zhou Fei's face changed slightly; he never expected Yu Yuntian to be so shrewd, leaving behind this testament even at the point of death.

Yao Hui's face turned exceedingly ugly; the Sect Master's position was just within reach, yet it was snatched away.

The Sect Master's position in the Apothecary sect was mostly designated by the Sect Master, unless under accidental circumstances, and this rule had persisted for millennia, giving Zhou Fei no reason to alter this decision.

Wei Elder looked around indifferently and said, "Since no one has any objections, let's welcome the new Sect Master."

"Welcome the Sect Master!" Everyone bowed in ceremony.

Yu Feifei nodded slightly at the crowd, about to speak, when suddenly a figure dressed in black walked in from outside.

"What fools, unable to accomplish such a simple task; I have to take matters into my own hands."

"Who are you?" Seeing the person walking in, an Apothecary sect elder's face changed, shouting.

The black-clad man hid within the enormous black robe, grinning: "Originally didn't want such trouble, but since you've asked for death, there's no helping it. I am here to annihilate your sect."

"What!"

Upon hearing the black-clad man's words, everyone exclaimed.

"Bastard, how dare you!" The elder's face changed and he swung his palm to attack the black-clad man.

Yet when he was still a meter away, the black-clad man reached a single hand out, and with a squeeze of void.

"Bang!"

The elder instantly turned into a mist of blood.

"Damn!"

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present was horrified.

The elder was Sun Qian, in charge of sect security, with True God Realm high-level strength, but was directly crushed by the opponent, revealing the black-clad man's formidable power.

Almost simultaneously, shadows appeared around the sect, all black-clad figures possessing high-level True God Realm strength and even peak True God Realm, with the horrifying aspect of numbering a hundred.

Yu Feifei's face turned drastically pale; the lineup was too overpowering, even her father in his prime might struggle to resist.

The black-clad man smiled faintly: "Those who submit will prosper, those who resist will perish. Surrender and you may keep your life; otherwise, there will be no mercy."

Cold formidable auras emanated from these black-clad figures, leaving the sect's elites in terror.

"Master, I am willing to submit!"

Zhou Fei, with his disciples, stepped out first, along with some sect elders closely allied with him.

Seeing the incessant submissions, Wang Chen looked extremely displeased.

"You traitors of the sect, have you forgotten your oath upon joining?" Wang Chen shouted at them.

At this point, Xu Kai, beside him, also stepped out.

"Xu Kai, you!" Wang Chen looked coldly as Xu Kai was about to surrender.

Xu Kai showed a guilty expression: "Hall Master Wang, I'm sorry. My family is in their hands; framing Lin Chen was beyond my control."

"Damned, I'll kill you!" Wang Chen was infuriated, swinging his palm towards Xu Kai.

But just as Wang Chen struck, his body suddenly froze.

"I cannot move my body." Wang Chen's face changed dramatically.

"Do you think you can kill me?" Xu Kai's eyes flared red, reaching towards Wang Chen's neck.

"Damn it! You're not Xu Kai." Wang Chen's face changed drastically.

"Congratulations on guessing right, but unfortunately, you're about to be dead."

Wang Chen mobilized all his energy but was unable to act, watching helplessly as the hands grew larger.

"Damn, will I die like this?" Wang Chen closed his eyes, with a hint of unwillingness in his gaze.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Wang Chen, grabbing the outstretched hands.

"It's you!" Seeing the emerging figure, the black-clad man's gaze focused.

"Lin Chen!" Yu Feifei exclaimed joyfully at the sudden apparition.

"I told you, you are my woman; no one can harm you." Lin Chen turned to Yu Feifei, saying dominantly.
