Through the black robe, Xue Guan looked at Gu Yuan with complicated eyes, pursed his lips, and finally did not speak.
"I would like to ask you another question. Why did you betray the Blood Spirit Sect? Did you offend someone?" Gu Yuan asked.
But Gu Yuan did not get an answer. The blood coffin hid itself under the black robe and said nothing more.
Curling his lips, Gu Yuan said, "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."
After a deep sigh, Xue Guan said, "Let's get ready. Tonight we will go explore the Lingshan Sect and find out who they are."
"Uh... isn't it just the Domain Demon? What, is there any other problem?" Gu Yuan asked puzzledly.
"I'll tell you more about it when the time comes."
That night, Gu Yuan looked at the darkness outside the window, then looked at the black robe on his body, and felt a little touched.
This was the second time. The first time he sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion. Gu Shang was still there and Shui Yaoyao had not fallen asleep yet.
But now everything has changed.
"Are you ready?"
Blood Coffin was still wearing a black robe and looked at Gu Yuan and asked.
"Well, we have to be careful this time. If we find something wrong, we can just run away. The domain demons are not simple enemies. If we really confirm it, the worst that can happen is to spread the news. Someone will always come to deal with them." Gu Yuan said.
Blood Coffin nodded. "With me here, there's basically no problem. If there really is a problem, it's not a small one."
"Okay, let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, the two black figures merged into the darkness.
Lingshan Sect was established for only over thirty years, but in this short period of time, it has already absorbed a large number of disciples and has become the largest sect in this border area besides Huoyun Sect.
Sects like the Golden Sword Sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, etc. cannot be compared with it at all, because the Lingshan Sect has a half-step Spirit King strongman, and this is the gap.
Of course, it is also because Lingshan Sect only has half-step Spirit King powerhouses that it ranks behind Huoyun Sect.
Lingshan Sect, Elders' Hall.
Three old men in black had serious expressions, and a middle-aged man with gloomy eyes sat on the main seat.
"Great Elder, please explain to me why the Third and Fourth Elders have already perished at the hands of others in just a few months of our sect's retreat?"
Yin Suo, the leader of Lingshan Sect, looked at the old man sitting in the first seat below the main seat and asked with a gloomy face.
Except for the first, second and fifth seats, the third and fourth seats are empty.
The First Elder, the Second Elder, and the Fifth Elder all looked panicked and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yin Suo above them.
"Look at me! Give me an explanation!"
Yin Suo slapped the table beside him with his palm, his face grim, and a faint black aura emanated from his palm.
The Great Elder's body trembled slightly, and he spoke with some difficulty after moving his throat. "Replying to... Replying to the Sect Leader, it was a deacon within the sect. He somehow persuaded the Third and Fourth Elders to go to Beast Control City and hire a young pawnshop owner, but they were rejected. Not only that, he also insulted our Lingshan Sect. The Third and Fourth Elders tried to teach him a lesson, but they were killed by the young man and never returned."
The Great Elder's voice trembled a little. They knew that the third and fourth brothers were going to the Beast Taming City. If it weren't for the deacon named Zhang Xiong who patted his chest and guaranteed that there were many rare things in the pawnshop, they would never have let the third and fourth brothers go.
But who could have thought that they would never come back after this trip!
After some inquiries, they found out that the third and fourth brothers had been killed in front of the pawnshop.
"Killed by a young boy? Are you kidding me? What was the cultivation level of that young boy? What were the cultivation levels of the Third and Fourth Elders?"
Yin Suo said with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Reporting to the leader, the young shop owner is... a fifth-level spiritualist, but... but it was not him who killed the person, but a black-robed man next to that kid." The elder said hurriedly.
"A man in black robe? What does that mean?" Yin Suo frowned and asked.
"Originally, the third and fourth brothers just wanted to teach that rude boy a lesson, but they were suddenly attacked by the man in black robes. They were caught off guard and... under his attack..."
The sweat on the Great Elder's head was almost dripping, and he didn't dare to say the rest.
"What's the young man's name? What's the identity and strength of the man in black robe? Have you investigated it clearly?"
"The young man's name is Gu Yuan. He runs a pawnshop in the north of Beastmaster City. He's a Level 5 Spiritualist and a native of Beastmaster City. As for the man in black robes, he's a bit mysterious. He seems to have suddenly appeared next to the kid named Gu Yuan. He's always wearing a black robe, so his appearance and age are unknown. As for his strength..."
The Great Elder swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "The preliminary estimate is that he is at the ninth level of Spirit Master."
"Ninth-level Spirit Master? Did you see the battle scene that day?"
"Replying to the Master, no!"
Yin Suo's expression became increasingly ugly. The loss of two elders was hard for him to accept. You know, there were only five elders in the entire Lingshan Sect, and they were all powerful Spirit Lords!
He felt a little sad to lose two powerful spirit masters at once.
"Tell me the truth, why did the Third and Fourth Elders go to Beastmaster City?"
Yin Suo's expression became increasingly unfriendly, and there was even a wisp of black air swirling around him, refusing to dissipate.
Seeing the changes in Yin Suo, the three elders were trembling in their hearts. They knew that the leader was on the verge of going berserk...
"Master! It's the deacon named Zhang Xiong! I only found out about this a while ago. It was Zhang Xiong who told the third and fourth brothers that the young man's pawnshop had a lot of good stuff, and that the young man wasn't very strong. Then the third and fourth brothers were tempted and wanted to go..."
"Want to seize other people's things? My Lingshan Sect is a major sect after all. How could the elders we trained be so incompetent? They could even be persuaded to leave with such a small profit?"
Yin Suo laughed out of anger. He really couldn't imagine that this was the reason.
"Master, please calm down! It is indeed the third and fourth brothers who are blinded by their own interests." The Great Elder said hurriedly.
"My Lingshan Sect's resources are comparable to those of the larger factions, but we have also provided you with the same resources over the years. Why don't you know how to be satisfied?"
A dark aura flashed in Yin Suo's eyes, and he looked a little weird. "What a pity, you died outside. If you had to die, you should have died in front of me. That way, at least I wouldn't have wasted my training of you."
Yin Suo's mumbling made the three elders look at each other in confusion, not understanding what the leader meant.
"I've always taught you to be humble in your practice and not to cause trouble for me easily. Why do you still do this?"
The expression on Yin Suo's face changed, and he actually smiled as he looked at the three elders, as if he was not angry at all.
The Great Elder had grown accustomed to the Sect Leader's volatile moods over the years, but every time this happened, it was also when he feared the most, because one wrong word could cost him his life.
