Liu Yao of the Mountain Gazing Sect was dead. The sect's ancestor had purged him as a traitor, slaying him deep within the mountains.
At the direction of Meng Yang and the others, this news spread far and wide.
Along with it came other rumors. They said that while Liu Yao had indeed done wrong and been purged from the sect, the Sect Master's death had been a revenge killing. The two incidents were unrelated.
One was a Sect Master, the other merely a Nascent Soul True Monarch. The impact of their deaths was worlds apart. The Mountain Gazing Sect chose this approach to minimize the fallout as much as possible.
Song Wanning scoffed at the news.
'Still, it was understandable. Sometimes, one had to act in the best interests of the sect, not based on personal feelings.'
But this whole affair with the Mountain Gazing Sect's Master had put her plans on hold.
