C14 Ghost Shadow Sect Meeting

"You insulted me first, and then you stole my treasure. Any one of these two crimes is enough for you to die hundreds of times. Now that I let you go, do you still have any complaints?"

Ji Baihua looked at Lin Xiao as if he was looking at a dead man, making Lin Xiao really want to die.

He really couldn't keep up with this girl's thinking. He had saved her twice. And they were both in a life and death situation, just like that one time. As long as he didn't do anything, she would really take the box and go home. If she lost her life, would she still be in the mood to care about these worldly possessions?

What made Lin Xiao even more depressed was that he realized... This little girl's aura seemed to have become much stronger than before. It could be inferred that the Spirit Qi that he had exchanged from the system just now... It actually allowed this little girl to break through again.

One must know, Ji Baihua is in the Nascent Soul stage, how can breaking through be that easy?

In the end, because of me, she broke through so easily, and then she didn't even say a word of thanks, and in the end even chased me down the mountain.

Uncles and aunties couldn't tolerate it, and Lin Xiao felt that he had to teach this little girl how to treat his benefactor.

Thus, he directly made a trip to the ground and made a big gesture. Facing Ji Baihua, he looked like he was about to break a jar. "Fine, fine, your territory is yours to call the shots, said Ji Bai Hua. But I can't walk anymore, if you really don't want me to stay on the mountain, then just carry me on your back "

"You don't look like much." Ji Baihua looked at him with disdain, then said the next sentence: "But you're thinking pretty good"

Aiyo, that was a blow. Then... Lin Xiao fainted...

Part of it was because he was angry, and the other part was because he had used up all his True Qi in order to stall the Night Ghosts. It was already a miracle that he was able to hold on until now.

Ji Baihua looked at Lin Xiao who was like a dead dog on the ground and gave him two kicks." Hey, don't you dare act shamelessly. Do you believe that I won't just kill you and take out the treasure? "

"Hey hey hey, there are so many disciples watching. I don't care if you are shameless or not. If you don't get up, I won't care about you anymore."

"Stop pretending. If worst comes to worst, I won't let you take out all the treasures."

"Hmm? Did you really faint?"

Ji Baihua finally realized that Lin Xiao really did pass out. Initially, she wanted to just leave Lin Xiao here and not care about him anymore, but for some reason, just as she was about to turn around, she couldn't bear to see him. No matter what, he was her saviour.

En, consider it as repaying you for saving me just now. Furthermore, if you don't wake up, those treasures of mine will be given to you for free, you bastard. Bengong will be kind enough to ask someone to carry you back.

Finally, he found his own reason. Ji Baihua immediately made up his mind and recruited two Hundred Flowers Palace disciples to carry Lin Xiao back.

However, she didn't notice that not far away, in a hidden place, a few sneaky figures were quickly running out.

At the same time, in a remote mountain thousands of miles away from the Hundred Flowers Palace, in a lofty palace hidden in the mountains.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man with fiery red hair was sitting quietly on top of a tall hall. His burly body was emitting a powerful aura that filled the entire hall.

This man was Sect Leader, Yan Lie of the Ghost Shadow Sect. It was rumoured that he had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and his strength was unfathomable.

Suddenly, a sharp and urgent voice came from outside the hall. The middle-aged man opened his eyes abruptly, and two bright lights shot out from his eyes. It shocked a disciple who had just entered the hall, causing him to stagger and fall to his knees.

"What is the matter? Why is it so noisy?"

Yan Lie's faint voice carried a great penetrating power, and it had a kind of intimidation that made people's hearts beat faster.

The disciple replied with a trembling voice, "Reporting to Sect Leader, this subordinate is the disciple on duty in the Soul Guardian Hall today. When I was checking the soul jade just now, I found that Elder Luo's soul jade... has shattered."

"What?!"

Yan Lie was so shocked that he directly stood up from his seat. A boundless aura completely spread out. Like a crazy flood, it surged out. The disciple of the prince had a low cultivation base. How could he bear it? His whole body fell to the ground. His voice became more and more panicked, "Sect Leader, please calm down. Your cultivation base is very high, and it is hard for me to match it."

Only then did the man notice that he was indeed a little agitated. After all, the word "elder" was not a random disciple in the Ghost Shadow Sect. It was the core strength of the sect. If one of them really died, then to the Ghost Shadow Sect... It was an inestimable loss.

He forced himself to calm down and anxiously asked, "Don't worry about anything else. First, tell me who... Elder Luo is the one who broke the soul jade?"

"Yes, it's the only son of the Third Elder, Elder Luo." The disciple replied.

After saying this, he could clearly feel that Sect Leader's Qi had calmed down a lot. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. When he recalled the Qi just now, he almost crushed himself into a meat patty. He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

At the same time, this disciple was also feeling vexed. He had been too reckless just now. He shouldn't have said anything about Elder Luo. If he had said something about Elder Luo, he was afraid that there wouldn't be such a huge fluctuation of emotions in the sect.

Indeed, there were many elders in the ghost shadows, but there were only two people with the surname Luo. One was the Third Elder, Luo Xing, and the other was Luo Xing's only son, Luo Sheng, nicknamed Night Ghost.

Logically speaking, although Luo Sheng's strength was quite outstanding among the younger generation, he was still quite a distance away from being an elder. However, relying on his father being the Third Elder, he managed to obtain the position of an elder from Sect Leader. After all, in the sect, the higher one's position was, the higher one's salary would be.

The disciples in the sect seemed to be friendly and respectful to this Elder Luo, but they didn't know how to curse him behind his back. No one really liked him, including Sect Leader.

However, because Luo Xing's strength was really terrifying, although he was ranked as the Third Elder, he was the strongest amongst all the elders. Even Sect Leader didn't dare to offend him.

This was also the reason why Yan Lie's mood fluctuated so much when he heard the name "Elder Luo."

Now that he knew that it was only Luo Xing's son, Luo Sheng, the man felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders for some reason. However, that was what he thought in his heart. On the surface, he still had to put on a show of Sect Leader's attitude.

The people in his own sect had been killed. As Sect Leader... Therefore, his Qi became slightly restless once again. After that, a voice filled with anger resounded in the hall, "Quickly inform all the elders to discuss the important matters in the hall."

"Yes."

The disciple received the order and left. He was even faster than a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the entrance. He really didn't want to stay here and endure Sect Leader's violent aura.

However, before he went out, he heard the faint voice from behind. "Oh right, don't tell Elder Luo what happened for now. We'll talk after we find out."

"Yes."

Seeing the disciple leave the hall as if he was fleeing, Yan Lie quietly sat in the high hall. His brows furrowed like iron lumps. Although this Luo Sheng's strength was piled up by his father using pills, he had never thought that he would be killed by someone. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Soon, all nine elders, including Luo Xing, were present. In this meeting, except for Yan Lie, Sect Leader, and nine elders... Including the seventeen or eighteen deacons, there were nearly thirty of them. It almost filled the entire hall. In the Ghost Shadow Sect... It's rare.

When everyone had arrived, the number one person on Yan Lie's right hand... A thin old man with white hair and a white beard stood up, his eyes half-closed. He looked like he had not woken up yet. He asked in a lazy voice, "Sect Leader, may I know what brings us here today? It has been more than thirty years since my Ghost Shadow Sect has been so grand, right?"

This man was the Great Elder of Ghost Shadow Sect, He Zhiyong. Although he looked like he was half a step into the coffin, his strength was at the mid Nascent Soul stage. In the Ghost Shadow Sect, he was second only to Yan Lie, Sect Leader, and the Third Elder, Luo Xing.

Since the Great Elder had spoken, Yan Lie naturally could not remain silent. He put on a solemn expression and signaled the Great Elder with his eyes that there was no need to be anxious. Then, he looked at Luo Xing, who was sitting next to the Great Elder, and said in a deep voice, "This matter has gathered everyone here because something big has happened in our sect. Third Elder, before talking about this big matter, I hope that you will be mentally prepared."

"Hmm? Sect Leader, could it be that what you're talking about has something to do with me? "

When Third Elder heard this, he became serious. This Yan Lie must have a very impatient personality, and he could not hide anything from him. Everyone knew about this, but he was a bit... He had never lied. At this moment, his expression was solemn, and Luo Xing's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why, but his heart inexplicably became heavy.

Yan Lie didn't beat around the bush and said, "I think everyone has realized that we are missing an elder in today's meeting."

Everyone looked at the seat at the end of the elder's seat. It turned out to be the seat belonging to Luo Sheng, the youngest elder. Usually, he relied on his father's arrogance in the sect to not take anyone seriously. However, he didn't dare to not participate in such an internal meeting. Now, his seat was empty. Many people had already guessed that his memories were related to this person.

When Luo Xing saw that it was his son who hadn't come, his heart immediately became anxious. He couldn't help but ask, "Sect Leader, is what you said today related to my son?"

"Yes." Yan Lie said with a heavy tone, "Third Elder, just now, a disciple of the Soul Guardian Hall came to report, saying, saying that... Little Elder Luo's soul jade... was broken..."

Even Yan Lie, who had always been quick with words, could not help but feel somewhat speechless when he conveyed the news of his son's death to a father.

When he said this, the entire hall immediately boiled up. Although most of the people didn't really like this Little Elder Luo, how should they put it? They were all people in the Ghost Shadow Sect, and they were all elders. He died just like that. Everyone's heart was shaken. Discussions broke out everywhere.

Especially Luo Xing, when he first heard the news that his son had died... His first reaction was disbelief, but the soul jade represented... It was the aura of a person's life. When the soul jade shattered, it meant that the person had lost his life. He could not be more dead.

And for hundreds of thousands of years, he had never heard of any mistakes in the soul jade.

Even so, he still couldn't believe it. His eyes were blood-red as he stared at Yan Lie and shouted, "Sect Leader, are you sure? Or, could it be that the disciple who sent the message was wrong?"

When he said this, there was no longer any difference in status in his eyes. It was as if Yan Lie was his enemy. A wave of killing intent surged crazily. The entire hall was engulfed by this killing intent. Many of the weaker people... Even spitting a few mouthfuls of blood to barely stand.

"Luo Xing! Calm down!"

The Great Elder, He Zhiyong, shouted. His eyes opened as wide as they could. He jumped from his seat and rushed to Luo Xing. He pressed his hands on Luo Xing's chest and hurriedly suppressed Luo Xing's killing intent.

At this time, Yan Lie continued, "Third Elder, I understand your feelings, but regarding this matter... I'm afraid it's true, because before you came, I received a message from a disciple in the sect. Little Elder Luo... was indeed killed, and the murderer was... The Hundred Flowers Palace!"

As he spoke, he threw out a jade slip that was firmly held in Luo Xing's hand. After a moment, that jade slip simply turned into powder in his hand and scattered onto the green bricks in the hall.

"Hundred Flowers Palace! I want your entire sect to be buried with my son!"
