The sacred grounds of Buddha Sect were steeped in sorrow and anguish.

Ting Chan had died.

No one had expected such a tragedy.

Elder Ting Feng conducted the funeral while the other elders observed the ceremony with sorrow in their eyes.

The disciples were weeping openly as they kneeled before Ting Chan's altar, their heads low as they chanted scriptures for their former chief.

His death was a great loss to Buddha Sect.

"Who is it?"

There was an unexpected commotion at the gates. Elder Ting Feng looked up and frowned slightly. After instructing the other elders to take charge of the ceremony, he marched briskly towards the gates.

A dozen disciples had gathered at the gates with staffs and had surrounded Jiang Ning, Liu Heng and Liu Zong.

"They're from Qingshan Sect. Are you Jiang Ning? You murderer!"

"I can't believe the nerve you have, turning up at our doorsteps after you've killed our chief. Let's kill him!"

"Don't let him escape!"

The disciples were overcome with rage.

The fires of fury that were alit within them could burn Jiang Ning alive.

Jiang Ning simply stood there with no expression on his face. He didn't seem to be fazed by their threats.
