This matter had been suffocating him for a very long time.
After returning from the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, Dong Tianze, Zhou Qingchen, Qi Qingsong, and Wu Yuan, among others, had all been guarding his secret closely.
Why?
Because Fu Wangchen had a True God Shifu, because the Desolated Terrains was the most powerful sect of the First Realm, and even more so because Li Chu was protective!
For the sake of his disciple, Fu Wangchen, Li Chu had taken a fancy to the Black Valley's Lu Lingchan, and simply because Lu Lingchan was betrothed to Fang Boxuan, under his suggestion, the Fang Family suffered the catastrophe of annihilation.
This kind of behavior from Li Chu put a mountain of pressure on Qi Qingsong and the others, leaving them no choice but to cover up that fact.
But, did Fu Wangchen not deserve his death?
He was clearly honorable and upright, with a clear conscience, so why couldn't he speak the truth?
