Chapter 551: Fame Spreads
Xue Suhe was a Grandmaster ranking expert of great renown throughout the Yan Kingdom, and a figure of extremely high seniority. Passing away in meditation was possible.
But the news was indeed somewhat sudden. After all, a Grandmaster's physical functions were far beyond the ordinary. Even with one's lifespan nearly spent, there should have been signs of a final rally before the end. There was absolutely no reason to die so abruptly.
Chen Qing also looked over, his eyes darkening as he turned the details of the matter over in his mind.
This Cloudwater Upper Sect Sect Master was an Eighth Revolution cultivator, whose vitality was incomparable to any ordinary person. Even if his final day had arrived, there was absolutely no way he would have died without first arranging the sect's affairs.
"According to reports, his lifespan was exhausted. Based on the intelligence, he died after discussing some sect matters with Jiang Shangui, and they say before he died, he passed the Sect Master's position to Jiang Shangui."
Han Guxi let out a quiet sigh and said slowly, "How things will unfold from here remains to be seen. After all, Xie Mingyan will be returning shortly, and what the final outcome will be, no one can say."
"And beyond that, Xue Suhe may be dead, but the Ancestral Hall still stands."
"Oh?" Ke Tianzong's brows snapped up sharply at that.
He had already sensed something was off. After all, the "Yu" generation elder Xue Suhe had most favored was not Jiang Shangui, but Xie Mingyan. In recent years, the Cloudwater Upper Sect's external affairs and the management of sect resources had gradually been handed over to Xie Mingyan by Xue Suhe. Who throughout the outside world did not regard Xie Mingyan as the nailed-down next Sect Master?
