At the same time, a helicopter descended over the Great Imperial Sect. Xena stepped out, accompanied by two subordinates carrying a corpse covered with a white cloth. 

Every seat was filled except one in the Great Imperial Sect’s council hall. 

The five remaining elders, the sect leader, and the deputy leader were all present. 

“Ms. Cunningham.” 

Xena greeted Jaxon with a deep bow. The sect leader of the Great Imperial Sect, Jaxon Cunningham, sat in front of everyone with a solemn expression. 

“It’s been years, and yet you came back only to deliver a corpse. As your mentor, I can’t help but feel ashamed.” 

Anyone else could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in his tone, not to mention Xena. “Mr. Cunningham, Olly was killed by a mysterious woman. I’m doing everything I can to track her down,” Xena explained. 

Just as she finished speaking, an elder interjected. 

“Xena, we old folks may be on the verge of death or hidden away in the mountains, but we’re not ignorant. Are you trying to absolve that man named Felix of any crime?” 

Bang! 

The deputy sect leader suddenly slammed the armrest of his chair. 

“Xena! It’s a bit too obvious that you are siding with the outsiders, right? Don’t forget, the Great Imperial Sect raised you. Even if you’re now the goddess of war and Hector is your main support, do you think you’d have ever been worthy of his recognition without the Great Imperial Sect?” 

The other elders nodded one after one, clearly agreeing with the deputy leader’s words. Xena, feeling helpless, continued, “Mr. Cunningham, please give me some time to investigate. I will show no leniency if there’s even a shred of evidence!” 

The room fell silent as everyone turned to the sect leader. Ultimately, the final decision rested with him. 

Jaxon pondered for a long while before finally speaking. 

“Since the founding of the Great Imperial Sect, aside from the war decades ago, we haven’t 

had any 

deaths. But now, two people have died in quick succession, and one of them was 

an elder. Moreover, the killer was the same person!” 

With that, Jaxon stood up.

“You asked for evidence, but that’s only because you are the goddess of war. But when do we ever ask for evidence? There’s no such thing as rules and procedures on this side of the world! If we wait for evidence, the Great Imperial Sect will be wiped out sooner or later.‘” 

Xena’s expression changed drastically. She hadn’t expected such words from her mentor, who had always doted on her. A growing sense of foreboding swept over her. 

“Mr. Cunningham! You…” 

“Shut up!” 

A loud roar interrupted her, and Jaxon’s white beard trembled violently.
