I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The Changyun Realm, Baimu City, is one of the major cities in the Changyun Realm, and the headquarters of the Wanbao Alliance is located in Baimu City.

The Wanbao Alliance is the number one merchant guild in the Divine Realm, with power spanning thirty Realms, and the Changyun Realm is one of those Realms under the reach of the Wanbao Alliance's influence.

In the entire Divine Realm, whether buying or selling treasures, the first choice is always the Wanbao Alliance, and behind the Wanbao Alliance stands a union of many powerful forces, with profound heritage and unparalleled strength.

Yan Shanhe is the Alliance Hierarch of the Changyun Realm's Wanbao Alliance, a powerful figure among the very top ranks of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, but at this moment, the perennially amiable and wealth-attracting smile on his round face had vanished, replaced by a grim visage with a chilling killing intent.

"I, Yan Shanhe, have always been amiable and believed in making money through friendliness. I never offend anyone, and even if the younger generation makes mistakes, I am the first to apologize in person, never abusing my own strength to bully others.

"As the Alliance Hierarch of the Changyun Realm's Wanbao Alliance, I advocate for making money through friendliness, providing quality martial arts resources for those fighting in the Heavenly Grotto, and purchasing at high prices the resources from Martial Artists returning from the Heavenly Grotto.

"I, Yan Shanhe, only have one biological son and one true Disciple. Now that my true Disciple has been killed, could it be that I, Yan Shanhe, have always been so kind to others that they think Yan Shanhe is easy to bully?"

In the main hall, all the strong members of the Wanbao Alliance held their breath and didn't dare to even pant.

A young corpse lay quietly on the ground, his chest sliced open by a blade, nearly cut in two.

"I, Yan Shanhe, consider myself to have taught my followers well, one does not use one's position to bully others, two does not bully the weak, three bravely fight in the Heavenly Grotto to guard the Domain of our Divine Realm, and to prevent it from outside invaders.

"What sort of savage culprit would cruelly kill my Disciple, who was such a good-natured person?"

In the main hall, everyone remained silent, heads bowed.

Those familiar with Yan Shanhe called him Smiling Tiger, backstabbing scorpion behind the scenes. Friendly and wealth-attracting on the surface, yet venomously ruthless behind closed doors.

However, he never acted personally; his followers carried out the dirty work and if it ever came to light, he would decisively sacrifice the pawn, adopting a fair and just attitude, killing his followers to give the victims justice.

It was precisely because of this that Yan Shanhe had an excellent reputation outside, many Martial Artists praised him as someone who upheld the reputation of the Wanbao Alliance, impartial and fair, never protecting those who breached the Wanbao Alliance's honor!

And the powers that were attached to the Wanbao Alliance, those strong individuals naturally knew of Yan Shanhe's venom but dared not speak of it; instead, they went to great lengths to praise and extol Yan Shanhe's integrity and selflessness.

His true Disciple naturally was not a good person either.

But just like Yan Shanhe, he appeared to be a good man on the surface, how many dirty deeds he had done behind the scenes, only he knew.

Relying on his Master, Yan Shanhe, and the power of the Wanbao Alliance, who in the Changyun Realm dared to harm him? Moreover, his own strength was extremely formidable, at the peak of the True King Heavenly Venerable.

He was always accompanied by three guards, and apart from the Immortal Heavenly Venerable making a move, who could possibly kill him?

And the Immortal Heavenly Venerables would not offend Yan Shanhe just for this. As for the other True King Heavenly Venerables, they all knew better than to target him.

Moreover, Yan Ping, that person understood measures of conduct well; he knew which forces, which identities of people he could not offend. Thus, nobody expected that one day, Yan Ping would be killed!

"Speak up, who is the murderer?"

Yan Shanhe asked with a somber face.

"Alliance Hierarch, the murderer's identity is unknown, we only know he has a bald head, a robust figure, powerful sword skills, and despite our desperate resistance, the three of us could not withstand him," said a middle-aged man kneeling behind Yan Ping's corpse, his face pale, one arm gone, and spoke in a weak voice.

"Ping'er was at the peak of the Truth Refinement Realm, and the three of you have long polished your skills in the Truth Refinement Realm. The four of you joined forces and still couldn't match him. Who in the Changyun Realm, other than the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, could achieve that?

"Even if you cannot match him, you should still be able to escape; yet only you managed to escape, and with serious injuries, losing an arm on top of that. When has there ever been such strength in the Truth Refinement Realm within the Changyun Realm?" Yan Shanhe's gaze was cold as he spoke.

"Alliance Hierarch, is it possible that the Martial Artist came from outside the Realm? Within the Changyun Realm, even those with such strength would never dare to commit such an act," said a strong member of the Wanbao Alliance solemnly within the hall.

"Tell me, how did my Disciple offend him?" Yan Shanhe looked at the man with the severed arm.

"Alliance Hierarch, the Young Master was romantically involved with a beautiful woman. Little did we know that the other party..."

Yan Shanhe waved his hand, already having an idea in mind. What romantic involvement? It was nothing more than coercion or bribery, only to encounter a righteous person who took action, resulting in the loss of his life.

"That woman, deal with her. Issue a bounty for the pursuit of this person, reward those who report his whereabouts, and reward greatly those who capture and bring him to me...

"Command my orders, have the Guard of the Treasured Protector allocate twenty people, led by two Half-Step Immortal Realm individuals, to be in charge of capturing this person. I want him flayed alive!"

In the hall, the many Wanbao Alliance strong individuals hurriedly responded with respect, "Yes, Alliance Hierarch!"

"Poor my Disciple!" Yan Shanhe's round, plump face showed a mournful expression, "Imagine me, Yan Shanhe, having always been kind to others and advocating making money through friendliness, my true Disciple was tragically murdered. Give him a grand burial."

With his back turned, he stepped away and left. The people in the hall suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from their hearts.

Yet, Yan Shanhe's voice carried over from afar: "The guards were incompetent and suffered heavy injuries, and one even lost an arm. It would be a waste of Divine Medicine to treat such injury, just bury him!"

"Yes!"

The individuals in the hall all felt a chill in their hearts.
