Chapter 448 - 448: Leaked?

"Silence! Don't let your assumptions cloud your judgment. Grand Elder Chu has always been loyal to the sect, and we all know that. Let the investigation proceed. We need to find out what actually happened before we come to a conclusion. Don't act like mindless sheep," The Sect Master said.

Prime Elder didn't like her words in the least.

"Is that what you call the members of our sect? We all know that he is more loyal to you than to the sect, and he did many things that proved it to me.

He could support justice without getting influenced.

Chu Miao was still in her house. No one informed her about what happened, but she knew what it was as she watched the Elders running in the same direction.

After traveling for over a day, he decided to take a rest and give some rest to the Sun Destroying Condor as well.

He was just about to order the Sun Destroying Condor to go down when he noticed a flying beast coming in his direction.

It was a Dark Winged Swan. A person was sitting on the Dark Winged Swan.

As the person got near, Long Chen noticed their clothes.

It was an Old man who was wearing the
