Chapter 209: Dark Night Pavilion is shaken, this Xiao Ying is strange

Dongzhou, the headquarters of the Dark Night Pavilion.

In the empty and solemn hall, a man in a black brocade robe sat on the pitch-black throne.

The man had a handsome face and a complexion as white as honey, but his expression was cold and stern, with a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, which added a bit of murderous aura to him and made the already gloomy atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.

It was none other than the legendary and mysterious leader of the Dark Night Pavilion, Gu Yichen!

In front of the throne, three figures stood, one woman and two men, they were the three deputy masters of the Dark Night Pavilion: Lu Ji, Bai Sheng and Black Kirin.

Lu Ji is tall and charming, wearing an emerald green gauze dress that trails on the ground, barely covering her snow-white skin. She is truly charming.

Her skin was very white, like jade. Although she was thirty-three years old, she looked only in her early twenties. She was the only cultivator among the three.

Every frown and smile is captivating and charming.

But at this moment, he couldn't smile, instead he looked sad.

The man in a white robe next to her was Bai Sheng. He was originally from a scholarly family, but due to an unexpected misfortune, he entered the Dark Night Pavilion and rose to prominence ever since.

In just ten years, he grew from a weak scholar to a top swordsman with outstanding martial arts skills and extraordinary intelligence, and was promoted to the deputy leader of the Dark Night Pavilion.

Although he has killed countless people, he calls himself a scholar and likes to dress up as a scholar. He does have some bookish air and is also the think tank of the Dark Night Pavilion.

The man in black on the far right is Black Kirin, the last disciple of the previous deputy pavilion master. He has unparalleled swordsmanship, but he is also cold and taciturn.

He was like a walking killing machine, cold and ruthless, and only listened to the words of the Pavilion Master Gu Yichen.

Now the three of them all had tense expressions, bearing Gu Yichen's wrath.

"Six years."

Gu Yichen suddenly spoke, and the three of them were stunned, their expressions becoming even uglier.

"But in just six years, you've completely forgotten the lessons you learned. It seems like you've had it too easy these past few years."

The three of them immediately knelt on the ground, their heads lowered, their faces filled with shame.

Gu Yichen's eyes swept over them one by one, cold and disappointed.

I didn't expect that after just half a month of not paying attention to the Dark Night Pavilion, the people below would cause such a big mess.

The loss of those bronze and silver medal killers is nothing, but the five gold medal killers are the core strength of the Dark Night Pavilion!

It was destroyed in such an unclear way.

What made him even more angry was that this incident could have been avoided!

After confirming that the silver medal killers had failed in their mission, the cabinet should have sent someone to investigate thoroughly and make plans before taking action, instead of immediately sending another group of gold medal killers.

Once the five gold medal killers died, the upper echelons of the Dark Night Pavilion suffered a severe blow, and even a gap appeared, which would be difficult to make up for in a short period of time.

Someone must be held responsible for such losses!

"Master, this is all my fault. I underestimated the enemy. Please punish me."

Lu Ji put away her usual coquettishness, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her already fair face became even paler.

Bai Sheng glanced at her and sighed.

"Pavilion Master, I am also at fault in this matter. I failed to persevere and allowed Lu Ji's behavior to go unchecked."

Black Kirin said nothing. He was always taciturn and ignored these decisions.

Gu Yicheng stared coldly at Lu Ji and Bai Sheng: "You are indeed wrong. You will accept the punishment after this matter."

"yes."

The two of them said in unison, their bodies trembling slightly, and pain and fear flashed in their eyes.

The punishment from the Dark Night Pavilion is definitely the most terrifying thing in the world, like hell, but as long as you can endure it, you can at least save your life.

"Now let's talk about how to solve this problem?" Gu Yichen asked again.

Lu Ji gritted her teeth and said, "As long as the Pavilion Master gives the order, I will kill that woman immediately!"

Gu Yicheng sneered, "Just you? Do you think you can be a match for those five gold medal killers?"

Lu Ji opened her mouth, but had no way to refute.

Those five people were masters second only to their three deputy pavilion masters. She alone could not kill those five people.

However, the woman from the mountain village made the five gold medal killers never return, which shows that her strength is far superior to those five people.

"Master, I think we should investigate thoroughly first."

Just then, Bai Sheng spoke.

He originally disagreed with sending out five gold medal killers directly and wanted to investigate first, but was rejected by Lu Ji.

Now that things have come to this, it would be unacceptable not to investigate.

"There must be something strange about that woman named Xiao Ying. Zhou Yanqing insisted she was just an ordinary village woman, and I believe that's true in his eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent two hundred thousand taels to hire assassins from our Dark Night Pavilion."

"But Xiao Ying was able to kill five gold medal assassins, which means she must have hidden her strength in front of Zhou Yanqing."

"There are only two possibilities for her to be able to do this. One is that she has a master behind her to help her, and the other is that she is already a master, and her level is no lower than the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"No matter which one it is, we shouldn't act rashly until we figure it out."

Bai Sheng's face was solemn. This time, the Dark Night Pavilion had hit a wall. With such a powerful person, even if the three deputy pavilion masters took action together, the outcome was hard to predict.

As for asking the Pavilion Master to take action personally... there has never been such a precedent in the Dark Night Pavilion, and Zhou Yanqing cannot afford the price.

The Dark Night Pavilion is a business, not something they do to get rid of anyone who is powerful.

The wisest choice is to give up, otherwise you are likely to cause more trouble.

Gu Yichen nodded slightly, obviously thinking of this as well.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let me down again."

"As you command."

Bai Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He must do this job well and try to reduce the punishment.

Therefore, as soon as he left the hall, he immediately ordered people to investigate Xiao Ying.

The news was quickly transmitted to the Xizhou Prefecture City branch through the teleportation array. After investigation, the branch found that there was a gold medal killer at the fifth level of Qi Refining nearby, so they sent this person to Chenjia Village.

When this person learned that the pavilion had lost five top-notch gold medal killers, he immediately became extremely alert to the mission.

He was secretly glad that he was only going to investigate, otherwise his life would be in danger.

At this time, Xiao Ying was watching the two masters fighting in the Immortal Palace.

In the past two days, Ling Yun and Xiao Jin have both reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and their strength has greatly increased!

After Xiao Jin refined the spiritual grass, he also developed earth spiritual roots. Now he and Ling Yun are both masters of dual spiritual roots.

Because he lacked earth spiritual roots and subsequent cultivation techniques, Xiao Ying asked him to switch to practicing the "Seven-Series Hunyuan Gong", which he had just started.

Therefore, Xiao Jin was completely devoted to Xiao Ying and vowed to be loyal to her for life.

The battle between the two masters of the sixth level of Qi Refining left the forest in a mess. Countless ferocious beasts were terrified and fled in panic.

The two fought for nearly half an hour until both sides had exhausted their spiritual power, and Ling Yun finally won.

Ling Yun was at least in the late stage of Qi Refining, and had more practical experience and was more proficient in the application of martial arts. Although his memory had not fully recovered, some things had been deeply imprinted in his soul like a brand, and he was naturally no match for Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin was so tired that he sat down on the ground, but admiration and joy appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that there was such a strong person by his master's side.

"Brother Lingyun is too powerful. If he had killed me, I would have died several times already."

"Master, I am just like you now. I also hope that the three deputy pavilion masters will come together."

With Brother Lingyun and the two ferocious beasts, plus him, we can definitely keep the three deputy pavilion masters!

But if that happens, the entire Dark Night Pavilion will probably be in chaos. I'm actually looking forward to it.
