"Tell me—who? Who killed him?"
Derek Ying glared at the four, his eyes blood-red, looking like a beast ready to devour.
The four couldn't help but step back under his pressure.
Duan Yubao swallowed and said, "A few months ago, Saint Son Warren Tang and Saintess Lila Li took people to Myriad Spirits Island. They were ambushed by the Fire God Church and Witch God Church. Warren Tang sacrificed himself to save Lila Li."
"Witch God Church! Fire God Church! I swear I'll make you pay!"
Derek Ying's face was terrifyingly dark, his aura chilling to the bone.
With those words, Derek Ying prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the four were secretly delighted. Suddenly, Tyson Chen spoke up again: "Derek Ying, there's something else you should know."
"Speak."
Derek Ying turned, his gaze sharp as lightning.
"Rumor has it, Lila Li lost her virginity after returning. Later, a guy named Ian Song came to propose marriage."
On hearing this, Derek Ying frowned deeply. He knew Warren Tang was devoted to Lila Li, always protecting her. He asked, "Did Warren Tang and Lila Li ever become Dao partners?"
"Not yet," the four shook their heads.
"Alright, I understand."
With a flicker, Derek Ying vanished.
After a while, Derek Ying arrived at an ancient hall. He called out, "Disciple Derek Ying greets Elder Tang!"
"Ah, it's you, Derek. Come in!"
A hoarse voice rang out from inside, and the doors swung open.
Derek Ying stepped inside and saw a black-robed elder—Tristan Tang, Warren Tang's great-grandfather, who had often guided him because of their close relationship.
Disciple greets Elder Tang! Derek Ying bowed to the floor.
"Rise." Tristan Tang waved his hand, lifting Derek Ying to his feet. Tristan had reached late Fusion years ago, but his potential was exhausted—he was unlikely to reach Tribulation.
"Elder, did Warren Tang really die at the hands of the Witch God Church and Fire God Church?" Derek Ying asked gravely.
"Yes." Tristan Tang nodded. Warren Tang's death was a deep sorrow for his great-grandfather.
"I heard Lila Li lost her virginity after returning from Myriad Spirits Island?" Derek Ying pressed.
"That's right." Tristan Tang nodded again.
From what I know of Warren Tang, he would never touch Lila Li before becoming Dao partners. So who took her body? Derek Ying said, voice low.
Tristan Tang fell silent.
Hatred boiled in Derek Ying's heart. He gritted his teeth: "I heard someone named Ian Song came to propose marriage to Lila Li!"
Tristan Tang sighed softly. "That's right. Little Demon Song did come, but the Church Master refused him. He flew into a rage and has since destroyed four of our Prime One Church branch altars!"
Derek Ying was shocked. "So Ian Song is a Fusion expert?"
No, just early Soul-Split. But he's a master of formations and schemes.
Surprised to hear Ian Song was only at early Soul-Split, Derek Ying asked, "Please tell me more about Ian Song."
The next day, at Lesser Sun Sect.
Ian Song had just risen when Sect Master Victor Wu arrived in person. He greeted warmly, "Friend Song, Ancestor invites you to discuss a major matter!"
