Chapter 300: Too Fast (Update)
At this moment, they hoped even more that this was a good omen and that a wise leader would appear.
Just as everyone was discussing the astronomical wonder of the seven planets in a row, an angry shout resounded over the entire Stone Village.
"Where is the man who killed my Ghost Gate? Come out and die!"
The sound was pervasive. Before anyone could be seen, it was already in everyone's ears, startling everyone and causing them to fall into chaos in an instant.
"What's going on?"
"Who's speaking?"
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
“Who’s there!”
The moment the voice appeared, Xia Chengsheng and Liu Youran's faces changed and they stood up immediately.
The doors of several nearby rooms opened almost at the same time, and the three Xia brothers, Zhuge Pei, Bai Wan'er, Feng Qingyang, Duan Jinghong, Ye Yichen, Ling Xuewei... all ran to the corridor.
"Dad, Mom!"
"Brother Xia!"
…
They all looked at Xia Chengsheng and Liu Youran, worried.
"Don't be afraid. If they want to touch Xing'er, they can just step over me!"
Before Xia Chengsheng could speak, Liu Youran answered first.
Her face was fearless, and her voice was calm and composed: "Let's go and see what's going on."
A group of people lit torches and walked towards the village entrance in a mighty procession.
In the dark night, more than twenty men in black stood in the air. The old man in the lead was very old, dressed in black clothes and robes, with a fierce look in his eyes, and his whole body exuded majesty that could not be concealed.
The twenty or so people behind him were all young people, all dressed in black robes and looked imposing.
Everyone saw them floating in the air like ghosts. Those who had never seen such symptoms were all terrified and their pupils shrank suddenly.
Xia Chengsheng and Liu Youran remained relatively calm. Holding each other's hands, they looked at the great elder across from them. Xia Chengsheng said calmly, "Your Excellency, perhaps you've come to the wrong place? We don't have the person you're looking for here!"
"Your Excellency has seen that we are all ordinary people. We have never seen anyone from the Ghost Gate. How could we have the ability to kill you, the Ghost Gate people?"
The Great Elder simply ignored their excuses. His old, cloudy eyes were filled with viciousness. "If not, then I will kill them one by one. I want to see if the person hiding behind this will come out after I raze this place to the ground."
He floated in the sky, looking down at the people below from above. His eyes looked at everyone as if they were ants, without a trace of emotion.
"Your Excellency is too overbearing. The people here are all innocent."
Xia Chengsheng knew very well that in front of a powerful enemy, it would be a joke to try to reason with them. He had led troops in battles for so many years and knew this truth very well. But now, he couldn't care less. He just wanted to delay for a while and buy more time for Xia Xing'er.
The Great Elder sneered: "Innocent people?"
He showed no emotion, and didn't care. His eyes were filled with arrogance and contempt: "Below the gates of hell, all living beings are ants. Where are the innocent people?"
"If you dare to offend my Ghost Gate, you must be prepared to bear everything!"
Xia Chengsheng's expression changed several times. After some hesitation, he seemed to compromise a little: "I don't want innocent people to be implicated. I beg you to give me some time. In fact, the people who killed your Ghost Gate people are not in this Stone Village. Even if you kill all of us here, it will be useless!"
"Why don't you wait here for a moment? I'll send a message to him, asking him to come over. Then you can face each other and talk it out. If there are any grudges, it will be easier to resolve them then. Don't you agree?"
"Don't worry, we will never get involved in the grudges and hatred between you!"
Xing'er said that it only takes an opportunity for the mountain protection formation she set up to take effect. If he guessed correctly, the opportunity Xing'er mentioned would be the moment when the seven stars were connected in a line.
All he had to do now was to hold them back until the mountain protection formation was completed, and then the crisis would naturally be resolved.
Xia Chengsheng couldn't help but hold Liu Youran's hand tighter.
Liu Youran felt the tension coming from her husband, and she shook Xia Chengsheng's hand in comfort to give her strength.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "I know who killed you people from Ghost Gate!"
Chen Lizheng pushed through the crowd and rushed out, his face full of hatred and his whole body trembling with excitement.
He knew that the Xia family was not easy to deal with, and their daughter was even more difficult to deal with, so he had been enduring since the Xia family came to this village. For so many days and nights, he had been suppressing his hatred and thinking about how to take revenge.
He regarded himself as a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to bite them hard. Today, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
He wants revenge!
Hearing this, everyone in the Xia family's heart skipped a beat.
Ye Yichen didn't care about anything at this time, he just wanted to go over and cover Chen Lizheng's mouth.
He originally wanted to cover Chen Lizheng's mouth and step back, but before he could do so, someone moved faster than him and pierced Chen Lizheng's throat with a sword.
Chen Lizheng was killed on the spot, with a crazy look still on his face and blood gushing out of his neck.
Everything happened in a matter of seconds, and even when the Ghost Gate Great Elder wanted to stop it, he was too late!
He raised his eyes that contained a storm and looked directly into the darkness. He saw a man holding a sword, with an aura of cold murderousness that could not be ignored, walking out of the darkness.
The dim light of the fire illuminated his handsome face. He stood tall and straight, with an imposing aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath, unstoppable!
"You're really looking for death!"
As the Grand Elder of Ghost Gate, he would never show mercy to those who ruined his good deeds. His spiritual power immediately transformed into a giant palm and struck directly with overwhelming force.
Even an ordinary cultivator cannot resist this move, let alone a mortal who has not practiced.
At this moment, there is absolutely no other possibility for the other party except death.
The terrifying murderous aura came in an instant, and the hurricane it brought even messed up Xuanyuan Yi's hair.
"Xuanyuan Yi!"
"Xiaoyi!"
When he saw that he was heading towards his little disciple, Duan Jinghong almost fainted from fright, and everyone in the Xia family also turned pale with fright.
Duan Jinghong never got married in his life, but he accepted such a young apprentice.
He was not afraid when he was being hunted by someone from Ghost Gate, nor was he afraid when he was captured by someone from Ghost Gate. But when the Ghost Gate's Great Elder attacked Xuanyuan Yi, he was afraid!
The other party's speed of attack was so fast that they had no way to stop him.
