The whole crowd fell silent, and even the elder in charge had his eyes bulging out when he saw Elder Guo turn into blood mist.
"WHAT!!??" someone from the crowd suddenly shouted, breaking the previous silence into a large clamor.
"Did h-he just kill an elder this easily?" stuttered a disciple in disbelief. They could not comprehend how a disciple, not even a Core disciple but an Outer Court disciple, managed to kill an elder so effortlessly.
"Impossible! How can he kill an elder instantly?" exclaimed another disciple.
"Does he not know the consequences? He could be expelled from the sect," said another disciple.
"Are you serious? Elder Guo was about to kill him. What should he have done, let Elder Guo kill him?" said a female disciple in support of Wang Ming.
Suddenly, a pressure descended on them, and a voice reverberated from the sky.
"Elder Guo has broken the rules, and as a result, I have ended his life. If someone has problems, they can come and complain to me," the voice disappeared as soon as it had appeared.
"S-Sect M-Master," the elder who was in charge stuttered as he recognized the voice. The elder's voice was loud, and the crowd also heard him, sharing the same look of disbelief as the elder.
"Fuck, did he just say Sect Master!!?" exclaimed a disciple.
"Yes, I heard it too. I'm surprised he made an appearance, considering how reclusive he is," commented another disciple.
"Well, what do you expect? A Deathmatch is a very rare event," said another disciple.
"Now it makes sense. It was the Sect Master who killed Elder Guo. There's no way an Outer Court disciple is capable of killing an elder this easily," remarked another disciple as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Still, just because Wang Ming did not kill Elder Guo did not mean they did not fear him.
"Elder, may I leave?" Wang Ming asked the elder who was the referee for the match, who was still in a daze.
"Hmm, are you surprised I took action?" Jiang Hong asked with a smile, to which Lei Ping nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it has been many years since you took action. People forgot that there is even a sect master here in the sect," Lei Ping said.
"Well, you answered the first reason. People had forgotten about me, and the elders started to think they were assigned by Senior Feng Chang to run the sect. I gave them a wake-up call that I still exist," Jiang Hong said.
"The second reason is that I wanted disciple Wang Ming to hide his cultivation until the start of the competition, and killing the elder would have revealed it," explained Jiang Hong, but Lei Ping had a weird expression on his face.
"Sect Master, do you think the things disciple Wang Ming is doing will allow him to continue hiding his cultivation? I mean, I am pretty sure within a few months or maybe days, he will provoke Inner and Core disciples," Lei Ping said with a deadpan look on his face.
"Ugh, now that you mention it, you are right. Whatever, we can try our best to conceal it as long as we can. But as long as disciple Wang Ming continues to dual cultivate with females, we will have an army of female disciples," Jiang Hong said with a chuckle, which caused Lei Ping's eyebrows to twitch and made him sigh in the end.

" Mother, are you really going now?" Feng Mei asked his mother who seems to be excited to visit Wang Ming
" Of course, I am, it is been a while since I got taste of him" Feng Chang said as she licked her red lips seductively
" What about you? Are you coming with me?When was the last time you visited Wang Ming since you decided to him your partner? " Feng Chang asked and seeing no reply she started walking towards the exist
" Wait, I am also coming, let me change to my previous inner core robes, otherwise a core disciple visiting him would cause him unwanted problems, I had to threaten the idiots who know about me and Wang Ming to keep their mouth shut" Feng Mei said as she soon followed Feng Chang
