Like other Martial Arts families, the Sun Family is also nestled deep within the mountains, with a road built by the Sun Family extending from outside the mountain all the way to the family's doorstep.
Just the construction of this single road was a monuntal task, which shows that the foundation and strength of the Sun Family are truly extraordinary!
The Sun Family's courtyard is vast; standing at the entrance, one can barely see its edge. The architectural style of the buildings is ancient and seems to have been passed down through generations, exuding a solemn and dignified aura.
At this mont, in one of the halls, the main figures of the Sun Family have gathered together in one place!
Except for during rituals, the Sun Family mbers have never all been together like this before; aside from those outside, everyone else is present!
Because today, a colossal event has occurred in their Sun Family!
That is, the youngest son of the Family Head, Sun Yu, has actually been murdered!
When they heard the news, they thought it was a joke. In Huaxia, not many people would dare touch their Sun Family!
Especially not in Jiangbei!
However, once they saw Sun Yu's corpse, especially the bloody hole in his stomach, they couldn't help but believe it!
At this ti, Sun Yu's corpse had been carried into the back hall, and in the main hall, an elder was kneeling in the middle reporting!
He was kneeling there to answer questions from the main figures of the Sun Family about the incident, since this matter was incredibly serious!
"Are you saying that the young man is an expert in the ridian Expansion Realm?"
One person spoke up to ask.
The reason for this question is that while experts in the ridian Expansion Realm are not uncommon in the Martial Arts World, there aren't that many. In any martial art power or family, they are considered rather vital resources!
Moreover, such a young expert in the ridian Expansion Realm is even rarer!
"Yes, his Cultivation Realm is the ridian Expansion First Layer."
The elder kneeling on the ground replied.
"That's impossible, the young man is rely in the ridian Expansion First Layer, while you are in the ridian Expansion Second Layer, not to ntion that little Yu was almost in the ridian Expansion realm himself."
At this ti, another person glared at him and questioned:
"How was he able to kill little Yu? Were you not with little Yu, which allowed little Yu to die so tragically!"
"That's not the case!"
The elder on his knees quickly changed his expression and said urgently:
"I was always by the young master's side. I admit that at first, I was sowhat negligent and didn't expect the two to suddenly engage, which resulted in the young master being injured. Although it was severe, a few months of recuperation would certainly heal him."
"After that, I positioned myself between the young master and that young man, fearing he would attack the young master again!"
"If that is so, why did the young master still end up dead?"
The person who questioned him angrily shouted:
"Therefore, you must be lying; the true situation is as I said earlier; you were not by little Yu's side, causing little Yu to die tragically! You must be held accountable for little Yu's death!"
"Fifth Master, you are accusing wrongly! If I had not intervened, then how did I get these injuries?"
The elder in the center of the hall argued.
"Perhaps you injured yourself purposely, fearing severe punishnt?"
The Fifth Master retorted coldly, while others also looked at the elder.
Indeed, although the young master is dead, the elder definitely bears responsibility, but whether he fulfilled his duty to protect, the magnitude of his responsibility can be vastly different!
"At that ti, the eldest young master of the Wang Family was also present; whether I tried my best to protect the young master, everyone can inquire with him!"
The elder hurriedly said.
After hearing this, everyone hesitated again. Yes, there were others present at the scene!
So, what exactly happened?
"Since you insist you were protecting little Yu, why did he die? Can you provide us a reasonable explanation?"
The Fifth Master continued to ask.
"When the young man attacked the young master the second ti, I did indeed try to stop him but failed."
The elder shook his head and sighed:
"That's why the young master ultimately died tragically."
"Hmph, don't you find your excuse rather la?"
The Fifth Master sneered upon hearing this:
"You, being in the ridian Expansion Second Layer, couldn't block soone in the ridian Expansion First Layer? Do you think we would believe such a thing? Or are you treating us all like fools?"
"Exactly, this is complete nonsense!"
"I don't believe it either!"
...
After hearing the elder's words, others loudly expressed similar views.
Though a ridian Expansion First Layer defeating a ridian Expansion Second Layer isn't entirely impossible, it is relatively rare, given the obvious disparity between realms.
"Alright, everyone, stop arguing and let Old Li finish speaking."
At this mont, the person seated first waved his hand and said:
"Old Li has been in our Sun Family for a good portion of his life; everyone knows what kind of person he is."
Then he directed his gaze at the elder:
"But Old Li, you indeed need to give us an explanation!"
"Ah, Second Master, I understand if people don't believe , but I'm speaking the truth."
The elder sighed again and said:
"Primarily, that young man is quite enigmatic. Although he appears to be only in the ridian Expansion First Layer, his true strength is far beyond that. In my estimation, he has definitely reached the ridian Expansion Third Layer, possibly even the Fourth Layer!"
"How is that possible?"
Upon hearing the elder's words, gasps erupted, and others wore expressions of disbelief!
This is utterly inconceivable!
For soone in the ridian Expansion First Layer to possess strength of the Third or Fourth Layer? They've never heard of sothing like this!
Moreover, achieving the ridian Expansion Third or Fourth Layer—what kind of strength is that?
Among the many Martial Artists in the Sun Family, only three or four have reached such a realm!
How could a young man in his early twenties possibly achieve this?
"Are you certain?"
The Second Master shot a sharp glance and asked.
"I swear, if what I've said contains deceit, may I et an untily end!"
The elder raised his hand and said:
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed to save the young master."
At this mont, the elder's earnest deanor caused the others to hesitate further.
If everything he has said is true, it's indeed unfathomable!
"Elder Brother, what do you think..."
The Second Master who had spoken earlier couldn't help but look toward one person at the forefront.
"Investigate! Get to the bottom of what happened; find out everything about the young man!"
The person at the forefront suddenly struck the chair's armrest, his voice extrely chilling:
"Even if that young man truly possesses such strength, he must pay with his life for killing my son!"
A wave-like vast aura imdiately emanated, enveloping the entire hall!
Several people felt a heavy pressure, along with the anger behind it...
