That night, the undercurrents were surging.
The forces of the North Pole Gate split into two factions. One faction, led by Stone Millet, had always stood in opposition to Fan Renruo. They never supported Fan Renruo, and now that Fan Renruo was dead, they feared that his son, Fan Hongyun, might inherit the position of Sect Leader, which would be detrimental to them. So they sought favor with Wang Xiaoqiang, eagerly inviting him to become the Sect Leader of the North Pole Gate.
The other faction, led by Fan Hongyunn, was the one that supported Fan Renruo. Now that Fan Renruo was dead, this faction intended to push Fan Hongyun to the position of Sect Leader, and they were secretly plotting to assassinate Wang Xiaoqiang.
North Pole Gate.
In a secret room.
On the ground lay a corpse that looked like a dried mummy; this corpse was Fan Renruo.
