…
Although Pei Shi was seriously injured, his movements were no longer affected, so he naturally felt embarrassed to trouble Xiang Sheng to personally carry the amber jade.
A moment later, he moved the four amber jades in front of Xiang Sheng.
Xiang Sheng waved his sleeve and struck out with great force through the air. The four amber jade stones shattered together. Two men and two women immediately jumped out from them. When they looked up, they saw Pei Shi's miserable appearance.
The four people's expressions changed instantly and they immediately came forward.
“Senior Brother!”
"Brother, are you seriously injured?"
"I'm fine. I'll just go back to the sect and recuperate for a while."
While the five people were talking, one of the young monks quickly noticed the frail woman with messy hair sitting on the side.
He took a quick look at her and couldn't help asking, "Brother, were you the one who rescued her from the sacrificial pit?"
Pei Shi was shocked and scolded him repeatedly: "Xiaofeng, apologize to your benefactor quickly!
If it weren't for the senior's intervention, we would have been eaten by that Soul Condensation Stage snake demon!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of the young monk called "Xiaofeng" suddenly changed. He immediately bowed and apologized, "I didn't mean to offend you. I hope you will forgive me."
"No problem."
Xiang Sheng waved his hand and said calmly, "There's no need to call me benefactor."
When Xiang Sheng said this, Pei Shi looked bitter. Is the senior angry?
“Senior, you…”
He was about to continue apologizing, but saw a faint smile on Xiang Sheng's usually cold face:
"You guys, just call me Uncle Master."
When these words were spoken, Pei Shi and the other four were all dumbfounded.
Pei Shi's mind buzzed, and he immediately recalled that this senior knew from the beginning that there were five people in their group.
Could it be that he is really an elder from the same sect?
But why does he look so unfamiliar? Could it be...
Pei Shi suddenly thought of something, his eyes brightening slightly. "Master...Uncle Master, the Ten Thousand Sword Vein has been closed for over forty years. I heard that the Sect Master intends to invite the elders of the forbidden area to come out and take charge of the situation. Could it be that you are the new leader of the Ten Thousand Sword Vein?"
"How did it get involved with the Ten Thousand Sword Vein?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head and chuckled, "I'm not the leader of a clan. It's just that forty years ago, your clan leader gave me a palace, and I agreed to it."
When Pei Shi heard this, he was even more shocked.
The senior in front of me is actually the new Palace Master?!
"Palace Master? Impossible!"
Beside Pei Shi, a woman in green clothes said angrily, "Senior, even though you are putting me in a difficult position by saving me, there are some things you cannot say carelessly!
The Hall Master of my Wanmai Sword Sect has a high level of cultivation and his status is only second to the Sect Master. He is revered by hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect. How important is he?
If there really is a new Palace Master, the sect should ring the bell to announce it to everyone. As the sect's true disciples, how could we be completely unaware of it?"
The words of the woman in green were really rude.
Pei Shi's forehead broke out in sweat as he quickly added, "Senior, Junior Sister Qiu didn't mean to offend. It's just that the position of Palace Master is sacred and inviolable in the eyes of disciples like us. Junior Sister was in a hurry and spoke harshly just now."
"You don't have to be nervous."
Xiang Sheng smiled slightly: "What she said does make some sense."
"ah?"
Pei Shi looked strange, "Senior, are you really teasing us?"
He shook his head and threw out a token.
“I have been in seclusion these years, so I don’t know anything about the palace sealing ceremony.
You don't recognize me, so it's normal for you to be suspicious, but you should definitely recognize this token."
"Xuanyu token?"
Pei Shi exclaimed and took the token in a hurry. When he sensed the connection between the token and his identity token, all his doubts disappeared immediately.
It’s really the Palace Master’s uncle!
It turned out that this rescue was not a coincidence. It was the Palace Master’s uncle who came personally to save them!
He was surprised and happy, then he thought of something and immediately turned around to glare at his four junior brothers and sisters, secretly scolding them.
"What are you all standing there for? Come and pay your respects!"
The four of them woke up as if from a dream, knelt down with Pei Shi, and spoke at the same time.
"Greetings, Uncle Master!"
Wu Feng and Qiu Xiaoxiao, among the four, were even more ashamed. "I am blind and questioned my uncle. I beg for forgiveness."
"Everyone, get up."
Xiang Sheng glanced at the two people who were apologizing, and said in a gentle tone:
"I don't mean to blame you, but if you two feel uncomfortable, why don't you help me clear out those snake demons outside and see if they have this thing in their bodies."
Having said this, Xiang Sheng snapped his fingers.
A crystal suddenly flew out, Qiu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed it, took a closer look at the crystal, and then bowed: "Uncle Master, please wait a moment, Xiaoxiao will be back soon!"
After saying that, Qiu Xiaoxiao flashed straight towards the group of snake monsters, and Wu Feng followed closely behind.
The remaining two saw this and also went to help. Only the seriously injured Pei Shi stayed behind.
He sat next to Xiang Sheng, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking:
"Uncle Master, have you inherited the Jade Palace?"
