Li Xiao waved his hand and looked at the others. "What's your choice?" He wasn't even interested in scanning the storage rings of the two Sanxian-level cultivators. They were lucky to have survived entering Phoenix Valley. What could they possibly gain with their cultivation level? Furthermore, with his son's cultivation level, even if he was seriously injured, there was no way he could die at the hands of two Sanxian-level cultivators.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan were delighted, but their faces were still trembling with fear. "Senior, don't you want to check?"
Li Xiao glanced coldly at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. The two of them quickly took several steps back in fear, trembling in fear as they looked at Li Xiao.
"Hmph!" Li Xiao snorted coldly, turning to look at Zhang Fengyu and the others, "Hurry up!"
Zhang Fengyu and the others quickly raised their fingers and swore, "We swear that we absolutely did not kill Sect Master Li's son. If we lie even a little bit, we will die miserably."
Li Xiao nodded and turned his gaze to the cultivators behind Zhang Fengyu and the others.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan waited until Zhang Fengyu and the others arrived, and then quickly walked towards Elder Liu with them. This was not a place to stay for long. If Li Xiao changed his mind, it would be bad.
Elder Liu saw Su Jinyue and the others, then looked behind them and said, "Are you the only ones left?" A total of twenty-four disciples were sent out this time, but only one-third of them are left now. The loss is really too great.
He Yunping shook his head and said, "As soon as we entered Phoenix Valley, Senior Brother Long and the others were grouped with us."
Elder Liu frowned, "Why do we need to divide into groups?"
"It's because they dislike Junior Brother Zhan and Junior Sister Su's low cultivation levels and are afraid they'll be implicated," Zhao Yan complained. She didn't know how many people were left in Long Yijian's group, but she couldn't go wrong by stating the reason first.
"Though Junior Brother Zhan and Junior Sister Su's cultivation is low, their formations are highly skilled. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have gotten this far this time," Xia Xin said. They had encountered crises several times, and it was Junior Brother Zhan and Junior Sister Su who resolved them.
"That's right." He Yunping and Zhang Fengyu nodded in agreement.
Elder Liu nodded in understanding. "You should go to your rooms and rest first. We'll return to the sect once the others arrive." Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue's cultivation was far too low, and he didn't understand what the Peak Master of Formation Peak was thinking in giving them the quota. But they were lucky. With their cultivation levels, surviving Phoenix Valley was truly a feat.
After swearing their oath, Long Yijian and his companions quickly ran towards the spaceship. Although they had gained a lot this time, they had experienced several life-or-death situations and were exhausted both physically and mentally. They just wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible.
Seeing the disheveled state of Long Yijian and his group, Elder Liu's eyes flickered with surprise. Long Yijian's group was clearly stronger than Zhang Fengyu's, yet the two groups appeared to be completely different. Zhang Fengyu's group looked like they were out for a leisurely outing, neatly dressed and relaxed. Meanwhile, Long Yijian's group had clearly endured numerous hardships, their expressions haggard and exhausted.
"Greetings, Elder!" Long Yijian and his group saluted Elder Liu.
Elder Liu nodded slightly, "Are there any other disciples who haven't returned yet?"
"No more." Everyone shook their heads sadly. This trip to Phoenix Valley was truly fraught with danger. If it weren't for the sudden change of mind of the Xuanxian Early Stage cultivator at the end, they probably wouldn't have been able to return.
"Go and have a rest." Elder Liu said, and started the spaceship to head towards the Secluded Immortal Palace.
The early Xuanxian cultivator who had stopped Long Yijian and his group before was blocked by Li Xiao as soon as he came out with his sect's disciples.
"Take out your storage ring," Li Xiao said coldly. He felt that this early Xuanxian cultivator was the most likely person to have killed his son. Although he didn't have the mark of divine consciousness he had left on his son, anyone who could have killed his son would definitely be no less powerful than his son. Of all the people who had come out, he had only seen this cultivator surpass his son in strength.
"Senior! I can swear." The Xuanxian early stage cultivator saluted. In front of Li Xiao, he was just an ant.
"Remove the restriction on your storage ring." Li Xiao said coldly. Regardless of whether it was the other party or not, he would not let the other party go. He would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
"Senior! I am Lu Shu, the direct disciple of the Qianyuan Sect's leader. I hope you can give my master some respect. I will definitely report to him when I return," Lu Shu said with a bow. He had obtained many good things in Phoenix Valley this time, so of course he didn't want Li Xiao to check his storage ring.
"Stop talking nonsense." Li Xiao released a hint of pressure.
Lu Shu was so shocked that he took several steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Li Xiao with fear in his eyes and a hint of dissatisfaction. "Senior, I didn't kill your son. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"Your cultivation is the highest among all the people coming out of Phoenix Valley. Tell me, is it you?" Li Xiao's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of sinisterness, which made people frightened.
"Senior! It really wasn't me. Furthermore, among those who emerged from Phoenix Valley this time, my cultivation wasn't the highest. The highest was a disciple from the Secluded Immortal Palace. I swear, everything I said is true," Lu Shu explained in a trembling voice. He had just broken through to the Xuanxian stage and had a bright future ahead of him.
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Be specific." He had seen all the disciples of the Dunshi Immortal Palace. The one with the highest level of cultivation was in the late Golden Immortal stage, which was far inferior to his son.
Lu Shu quickly recounted what had happened, "Everything I said is true, they can all testify for me."
Li Xiao looked at the people behind Lu Shu, and they nodded nervously, "Senior! We can all testify that the pressure released by the other party is really strong, much stronger than that of Senior Brother Lu."
"Describe the other person's appearance." Li Xiao said in a deep voice.
Lu Shu raised his hand and copied in the air, and soon Zhan Yihan's portrait appeared in front of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao looked at Zhan Yihan's portrait and said, "It's the one who is at the peak of the late Xuanxian period." No wonder he was able to come out of the Phoenix Valley safely. It seems that he has hidden his cultivation level.
After thinking about it, he sent out a spaceship to chase in the direction Zhan Yihan and the others left. He didn't care who the other party was. As long as he was sure that the other party was the one who killed his son, he would show no mercy.
Looking at Li Xiao's receding back, Lu Shu and the disciples behind him breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Let's go back to the sect." Lu Shu turned and walked quickly towards his sect's spaceship. Now the only way to be safe is to return to the sect.
