Su Ze's accomplishments once again resounded throughout the sect. It wasn't just because Su Ze had brought back a bunch of resources.
It was also because Su Ze had killed two hundred disciples from other sects in the Heavenly Thunder Emperor's mansion world. He had tied their heads to vines and displayed them in front of all the elders without any qualms.
All the disciples were talking about what Su Ze had done that day.
"Is it true? Su Ze killed 200 martial masters in the mansion world on his own?"
"How could it be false? Su Ze even tied their heads to the vines. I heard that the disciples from other sects were scared silly."
"Senior brother Su Ze is growing so rapidly. How did he reach the realm of gods this soon?"
"That's right. I heard that it was because the Sect Master of the Golden Light Sect plotted to kill the disciples of our Pillheart Sect. That's why Su Ze went wild."
"That's too terrifying. Is this the rise of a monster? Unbelievable!"
...
Chen Ruoruo went all the way to the residence of the elders and reported the situation to her great grandfather, Elder Chen Lin Ye.
After Chen Lin understood the situation, he remained in shock for a time. "Are you saying that when Su Ze was at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm, he killed two hundred Martial Master Realm people with a single move?"
Elder Lin Ye smiled and said, "This matter with Su Ze has indeed made this old man clap his hands in admiration. But the most amazing thing is that Su Ze brought back four interspatial rings' worth of resources! Sword Ancestor Lin's seven hundred thousand points were all exchanged by this little guy, Su Ze."
Elder Lin Ye clicked his tongue in wonder. "I knew that Su Ze had something. Sooner or later, he would make a name for himself. Isn't that why he's here? All my long years of living, this is truly an era to behold."
Zhang Hu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, "We have to keep an eye on Su Ze! Those bastards from the Golden Light Sect might already have designs on Su Ze! It's up to us old fogeys to take care of him."
Zhang Hu's words touched the hearts of the elders.
Based on Su Ze's current progress, there was a high chance that he would become an existence that surpassed Drunk Sword Immortal in the future.
After all, Su Ze's name was several times more famous than Drunk Sword Immortal when he was young.
...
Several elders from the Golden Light Sect gathered together.
The gathering wasn't as simple as a tea party.
The purpose of their gathering was to kill Su Ze before his birth was complete.
Wei Ming told his old friends about Su Ze's exploits in the mansion world, "Su Ze broke through to the Grandmaster Realm in half a month. How does that even happen? Still, Su Ze did it. Not a single one of our Golden Light Sect's 100 disciples returned from this trip to the mansion world. Even the other 100 disciples were killed by Su Ze!"
Wei Ming finished speaking and looked at everyone in his seat. He was deep in thought and did not say anything. He fell back in his own seat, eyes still lost in thought.
The scene became much quieter. The other elders said nothing. Instead, they were deep in thought.
After a long while, Elder Chen Yu, broke the silence. He rapped on the table and looked at Zhang Da's empty seat. "Most importantly, Zhang Da, the reckless fool, was killed by that old demon Lin."
Elder Deng Hua's expression was grave. "Zhang Da's death is indeed a great loss to our Golden Light Sect."
"From the looks of it, the war between our Golden Light Sect and the Pillheart Sect is inevitable," Elder Wei Ming said with a solemn expression.
Deng Hua said faintly, "No matter what the situation is between the two sects, we must get rid of Su Ze first. If we allow such a monster to grow, he is destined to be a great opponent in the future."
Chen Su nodded in agreement. "Such talent is too monstrous. If we allow him to grow, he might become another old demon Lin in the future. Therefore, we must kill this Su Ze while he is still in his cradle, as soon as possible!"
Wei Ming looked at everyone discussing and clamoring to get rid of Su Ze. At that moment, he was unprecedentedly calm. Wei Ming suddenly said, "Then, have you ever thought about the level of protection that the Pillheart Sect will give Su Ze? Whenever mansion worlds appeared in the past, an elder would lead the team. But this time, old demon Lin personally escorted Su Ze, so there was no need for me to explain how difficult it would be to touch Su Ze, right?"
These words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flames of everyone's excitement.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Su asked in a deep voice.
Wei Ming was expressionless and said calmly, "Assassination. Other than an all-out war between the two sects, there's no other way, so we have to do it secretly."
As he said this, a meaningful smile appeared on Wei Ming's face. "Our sect has a guy who's even stronger than that kid Yang Yuan!"
Deng Hua had a strange expression on his face. "You're talking about that madman?"
"Yes, that Lin Hai guy." Wei Ming's smile gradually turned sinister. He seemed to have already envisioned Lin Hai tearing Su Ze apart.
"It's not impossible, but controlling Lin Hai is also a problem in and of itself," Deng Hua said.
"Doesn't that guy get off assassinating blossoming prodigies?" Zhang Da smiled and said, "Our sect has the aura concealment technique from the Concealing Sect. It's just right for Lin Hai!"
"Sure, let's hurry and set things into motion."
"Su Ze is quickly gaining strength. It's best for us to strike first. If we give Su Ze enough time, we might not even see him again until he's at the seventh or eighth level of the Grandmaster Realm. At that time, even Lin Hai won't be able to lift a finger!" Wei Ming's expression was ferocious.
Chen Su coughed. "Let's not talk about Su Ze. Let's talk about how to deal with the situation with the Pillheart Sect first. Our three Ancestors are all in seclusion! If a dispute arises at this time, I'm afraid things will turn ugly for us."
Wei Ming snorted coldly and said, "We have the Hidden Sect backing us. Why should we fear the Pillheart Sect?"
"Forget it. Let's inform the Hidden Sect first. We need to make preparations first," Deng Hua said helplessly.
He could already imagine how much the Golden Light Sect would have to pay if those fellows from Hidden Sect were recruited.
Other than Zhang Da's recklessness, there was also Su Ze, the fuse!
...
After Su Ze returned to his quarters, he began to increase his strength at a frenzied rate.
He had left quite a lot of things for himself this time. He had claimed a spatial ring for each of the pills and medicinal herbs.
Su Ze casually grabbed a handful of pills and put them into the air. Rich energy burst out from the pills. In a short period of time, Su Ze felt that he was about to enter the third level of the Grandmaster Realm.
