C17 Distance Means Death!
At this moment, only the Great Elder and the Second Elder remained in the hall.
The two of them didn't immediately enter the room to see Xiao Ling. Instead, they stood outside. The Great Elder had a serious expression and his brows were filled with doubt.
"Send someone to find out more about Xiao Shen!"
The Great Elder frowned. Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen were both heavily injured by Xiao Jian at the same time. Furthermore, Xiao Jian had also said that Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen would lose their lives for the sake of their surname, Xiao.
If the two of them were only a hair's breadth away from death, then it basically meant that these injuries were done deliberately by Xiao Jian.
"No need. When I came, I had already heard about it!"
When the Second Elder heard this, he bitterly smiled.
"What's the situation?"
The Great Elder turned around and asked.
"Distance means certain death, the slightest mistake!"
The words came out of the Second Elder's mouth with a sonorous and forceful tone.
Hearing these words, the Great Elder sucked in a breath of cold air, and his expression became even more serious.
"Doesn't that mean that these injuries were deliberately inflicted by that trash, Xiao Jian?"
The Great Clan Elder frowned, puzzled.
"Great Elder, Xiao Jian seriously injured Xiao Ling. It is a disrespect to our Elders Guild, why not take his life to make an example out of him? It would also be better to completely get rid of this muddy water and reunite with the new Patriarch! "
The Second Elder's face darkened as he made a murderous gesture.
"No!" This matter needs to be discussed and should not be rushed! Ling'er and him have a fair competition. A loss is a loss, and our Elders Guild, generation after generation, has always been a barrier between us and the Patriarch! The battle for power between the direct relatives should not be involved. If it was involved, then it would go against the will of all the previous generations of Elders! "If that's the case, then it's best that the Second Elder does not say too much in the future. At least, it's not the time yet!"
The First Elder softly cried out when he heard this. His face did not look too good as he warned the Second Elder in a serious tone.
"First Elder, please consider carefully. You are right!"
The Second Elder cupped his hands and said.
"This Xiao Jian is extremely mysterious. Ever since I was young, he has given me the impression that he is trash. However, yesterday's performance had exceeded everyone's expectations. To be able to defeat Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen without having any cultivation, there must be some unknown secret behind it. Furthermore, Ling'er's and Xiao Shen's injuries, as well as the attitude from the Mu Family, all revealed a strange aura, and the core of all of this was Xiao Jian, the trash without any cultivation, Young Patriarch! "
The Great Elder frowned as he analyzed the situation. The most puzzling thing was Mu Family. The number one clan in Grand Desolate City, actually supported Xiao Jian like this. Mu Qingxue claimed that she was the pride of the heavens with the best Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, but she only obeyed Xiao Jian's orders, and even said that she would not marry anyone other than Xiao Jian.
"I heard that he followed a young disciple of the clan to the Fire Mountain today. I don't even know if he can come out from the Fire Mountain! "
The Second Elder pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If he dies in Fire Mountain, Xiao Qian would have to abdicate even if he doesn't abdicate his position! Even if he could walk out of the Fire Mountain, Xiao Mengsheng would probably not let him off. After all, Zhou Tie had almost died. Moreover, if Xiao Mengsheng wants to snatch position of patriarch, Xiao Jian must die! "
The First Elder nodded when he heard this.
"So, we don't need to do anything at all, we only need to watch from the sidelines and we will adhere to the iron law of our Xiao Family Elders Guild through the generations!"
His and Great Elder's views were naturally the same. In terms of benefits, they did not have any obvious conflicts with Xiao Qian's side, it was just that Wu Tie was a trash, and would definitely bring his Xiao Family down the path of decline.
Then, as a group of elders, they had no choice but to take care of it.
And the root of all this was Xiao Jian. If Xiao Jian proved that he was not trash, then they would still support Xiao Qian. All the problems would be easily solved. After all, Xiao Qian's strength was obvious to all.
"I heard that people from Wu Family and Shi Family have all gone to the Fire Mountain!"
The Great Clan Elder suddenly thought of something and said.
"Yes, something amazing came out of the mountain with this Fire Mountain, causing the Demonic Beast in the vicinity to go berserk. However, due to some limitations of the rules, only martial cultivator s of the Third Layer of Core Condensation and below can enter places that have good items! Xiao Cheng also went in, but this time, the person who has the most hope of obtaining the highest treasure is Shi Family, Shi Tongtian. This person is at the level of Third Layer of Core Condensation, and is only sixteen years old!
The Second Elder said with a serious expression.
"If the Shi Family is high, then it is already a foregone conclusion! I, grandson, Xiao Cheng, am also at the peak of the Third Layer of Core Condensation, I hope his luck is good! "
The Great Elder frowned and spoke with a serious tone. As he spoke, he even rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache.
"Since Xiao Ling is fine, I'll be leaving first!"
Seeing that the Head Elder did not speak, the Second Elder spoke up. The First Elder did not say anything after hearing this. He merely nodded his head. The Second Elder understood and quietly retreated.
Speaking of which, when Mu Qingxue went to the Patriarch's Mansion, she just met Xiao Qian. Originally, she wanted to head to the Fire Mountain with Xiao Jian, but from Xiao Qian's words, she found out that the group heading to the Fire Mountain Training Field had already departed.
"Uncle Xiao, since that's the case, I'll go look for Xiao Jian!"
Mu Qingxue said goodbye to Xiao Qian when she heard that Xiao Jian had left.
"Alright, you little rascal. I told him not to go, but he wouldn't listen. I've already instructed the Fifth Elder to protect his safety.
Hearing this, Xiao Qian instructed. He was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law of his. Of course, he was also very confused. Mu Qingxue was such a proud daughter of heaven, yet she didn't break off the engagement with her son. Furthermore, she treated him so well.
This was really strange. As a father, he didn't know how his son had done it.
"Don't worry, Uncle Xiao. I will protect him well!"
Mu Qingxue replied and turned to leave. She rode on a white Wind Chaser Horse. Although the Wind Chaser Horse was only a first stage Demonic Beast, it was still extremely expensive, and it was much faster than normal horses.
An ordinary horse would be able to travel a thousand miles in a day, but a well-built Wind Chaser could travel ten thousand miles in a day without any problems.
On one hand, she decided to go with Xiao Jian to Fire Mountain this time to protect Xiao Jian, and on the other hand, it was naturally for the Fire Spirit Zoysia.
Also, he didn't know what use Xiao Jian gave him the jade bottle, so he asked him about it.
After bidding Xiao Qian farewell, Mu Qingxue also decisively left for Fire Mountain.
On the way to Fire Mountain, the Xiao Family's formation was vast, but the speed was a bit slow. At the front of the group, there was a gigantic Demonic Beast. On the back of the Demonic Beast, the author was a middle-aged man that was around forty to fifty years old.
His name was Xiao Qinghee, and he was the fifth elder of Xiao Family. His cultivation had reached the seventh level of Golden Core Stage, and he was also around forty years old.
"Fifth Elder, I really don't understand. This time, going to the Fire Mountain to gain experience is obviously not going to be easy. This time, the ones who came were all disciples of families above the eighth level of Qi Refining. What qualifications does Xiao Jian, a cripple without any cultivation, have to follow? "
Beside the Fifth Elder, a young disciple kept chattering.
The young disciple who spoke was called Xiao Ren, and at the age of seventeen, his cultivation had reached the second level of Core Condensation Stage. He was quite famous in the other branches, or else he wouldn't have the qualifications to sit next to the Fifth Elder.
Other than Xiao Ren, there was also a well-built young man standing beside the Fifth Elder. This person had his eyes closed all this time and did not say anything. It was as if he was not interested in what was happening outside.
"The Patriarch told me to bring him!"
The fifth elder's eyebrows knitted together in displeasure. Although this matter had been ordered by the patriarch, it did not mean that he was willing to accept such a thing.
Although Xiao Jian had defeated Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen in the family meeting yesterday, it did not mean that Xiao Jian was not a trash anymore.
In their eyes, Xiao Jian was just using an unorthodox method. In this world, without Profound Qi, it was impossible for one to defeat martial cultivator who had Profound Qi.
However, Xiao Jian had done it. It did not mean that Xiao Jian was powerful, but rather that Xiao Jian had used an unusual method. To put it bluntly, it was because he had used some unorthodox methods that had caused Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen to lose.
In other words, he was just a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing without any cultivation.
"Hmph …" Once we enter Fire Mountain, who can care about him.
The young disciple coldly snorted and didn't say anything else. The well-built youth that had his eyes closed had his eyes closed the entire time and didn't speak.
"I heard that Brother Xiao Cheng will also come this time. This waste used some methods to injure Brother Xiao Cheng's brother. When the time comes, it'll be great!"
Xiao Ren sneered and said again.
"In this experiential learning, there are only three people who have high hopes!"
Xiao Qinghee's eyes narrowed, but he did not say who the three of them were. Xiao Cheng was definitely one, Xiao Yu'er was also one, and they were probably this sturdy young man in front of them.
"Alright, stop and rest. We've been walking for quite some time!"
Xiao Qinghee saw that the distance was almost over, so he said. The Fifth Elder's gigantic Demonic Beast stopped under his command. He stopped, and so did the whole line.
"Hmph, if that trash hadn't insisted on carrying such a huge boulder, we wouldn't have walked so slowly. The people from Wu Family have left much later than us, and are already walking in front.
When Xiao Ren heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. His relationship with Xiao Cheng was quite good. Xiao Jian had severely injured Xiao Ling, so Xiao Ren naturally had to help his master.
"I also heard that the outer sect disciple Xiao Dong went to look for Xiao Jian a few days ago and never came back. Although Xiao Dong is an outer sect disciple, he is still Brother Wu steel's man. His disappearance is definitely related to this piece of trash! "
Xiao Ren thought of something again and said. He was obviously looking for a reason to look for trouble with Xiao Jian. Xiao Cheng was about to arrive, and since Xiao Jian had heavily injured Xiao Ling, Xiao Cheng definitely wouldn't let Xiao Jian off.
At this critical moment, if he could defeat Xiao Jian before Xiao Cheng arrived and help Xiao Cheng's underlings and Xiao Cheng's younger brother get back at them, it would undoubtedly be showing his loyalty to Xiao Cheng.
"No, as a disciple of Xiao Family, I absolutely cannot allow this to happen. I have to find this piece of trash for an explanation!"
With that, Xiao Ren stood up in anger and walked in the direction of Xiao Jian. Hearing this, the fifth elder looked into the distance but didn't say anything. It was as if he was just sitting there and watching everything happen, taking a laissez-faire attitude.
Many other people knew that Xiao Ren was trying to cause trouble, but none of them said anything.
At this time, at the very back of the group, Xiao Jian was carrying a huge rock and walking unsteadily. Xiao Yu'er followed beside him, and the person in Xiao Yu'er's arms was Wu Qingcheng.
"Ai …" Xiao Jian, what are you doing? "
Seeing Xiao Jian walking forward with a huge rock on his back and a head full of sweat, Wu Qingcheng sighed and said helplessly. The boulder on Xiao Jian's body should be around two to three hundred kilograms. Two to three hundred kilograms, to an ordinary martial cultivator, was nothing.
However, to Xiao Jian, it was definitely a heavy burden.
"Jian, why are you doing this? Is it really good for your body?"
Xiao Yu'er was also puzzled. She had never seen anyone train their body and mind like this. Seeing Xiao Jian so tired that his head was covered in sweat and his feet were even full of blisters, she felt her heart ache.
