Chapter 2052 What a rare guest!
At this time, Xi Baichuan was playing chess with his chief disciple Ning Xu in the yard.
Wei Xian's arrival was something Xi Baichuan had expected, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, he and Ning Xu were playing chess here, deliberately waiting for Wei Xian's arrival.
Although Xi Baichuan knew that Wei Xian was just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken and had no good intentions, he did not intend to escape. If he escaped, wouldn't it mean that he was guilty? But he did not feel guilty!
However, no matter how much they dislike each other in their hearts, they are always polite to each other on the surface.
"Oh! It's Junior Brother Wei! What a rare guest! How come you have time to come to my place today?" Xi Baichuan greeted him with a smile, but the smile was not sincere.
When Wei Xian saw Ning Xujing, he felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart.
Because among the four great disciples, Ning Xujing had the highest level of cultivation. Not long ago, he broke through the Nascent Soul stage and became the ninth Nascent Soul stage master in the world of cultivation.
The cultivation levels of their four great leaders are only at the Nascent Soul stage, either in the early or middle stages, and none of them have reached the peak.
The remaining three Nascent Soul masters are the sect leader and the other three elders.
He himself was in the early Nascent Soul stage, while Xi Baichuan was in the middle Nascent Soul stage, so he was jealous of Xi Baichuan. Now that Xi Baichuan's chief disciple had reached the same level of cultivation as him, he felt even more unhappy.
"Uncle Wei"
Ning Xu actually saw Wei Xian, so he stood up and called out.
Although their cultivation levels are similar now, in terms of seniority, Wei Xian is the elder after all, so he cannot be rude.
"Yeah!" Wei Xian responded indifferently, and then replied to Xi Baichuan: "This is it, I got some news about Jing Jining, so I came to tell you."
When Wei Xian said this, it was obviously with sarcasm in his words, and also, alms.
How could Xi Baichuan give him this opportunity to continue to mock him! So without waiting for him to continue, he said: "Are you talking about the appearance of a master of cultivation around Jing Jining?"
Hearing this, Wei Xian's expression changed slightly. It was obvious that Xi Baichuan knew about this matter.
Xi Baichuan did not give Wei Xian a chance to speak, and continued, "I suspected Jing Jining was related to Yin Shixun's death before, but because Jing Jining was no match for Yin Shixun, I reduced my suspicion. But this time, a Jindan-stage master and a master whose cultivation level could not be seen suddenly appeared beside him, so my suspicion deepened. I have asked Dong Liang to call Jing Jining to come for questioning. If Junior Brother Wei wants to know the situation, you can wait for a while and listen to what Jing Jining says when he comes. However, I am not sure if I can bring Jing Jining here. After all, there are masters around him and Dong Liang is no match for him. If I can't invite him, I can only do it myself."
After hearing what Xi Baichuan said, Wei Xian's face became even uglier and he felt extremely unhappy.
Originally he came to see Xi Baichuan make fun of himself, but in the end, he ended up embarrassing himself.
But he also wanted to know who the expert was, so he swallowed his anger and agreed: "Okay! I also want to know what Jing Jining said."
On Jing Jining's side, they were still eating when Ma Dongliang arrived, so Ma Dongliang did not disturb them and waited for them to finish their meal.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, they came out after finishing their meal. Ma Dongliang then told Jing Jining that Xi Baichuan wanted to see him about something.
As for what it was, there was no need to ask, Jing Jining and others had guessed it.
However, Jing Jining did not make any rejection or resistance, and readily agreed to go to Tiandao Sect with him, but he arranged accommodation for Gu Ning and others first.
Jing Jining's ready agreement reduced Ma Dongliang's suspicion of him, but whether this matter was related to Jing Jining still needed to be investigated.
Soon, Jing Jining followed Ma Dongliang to Tiandao Sect, where Xi Baichuan lived.
Since it's not an interrogation, there's no need to go to the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Master Xi, Master Wei."
Seeing Xi Baichuan and Wei Xian, Jing Jining called out respectfully.
"Jing Jining, I won't beat around the bush and will just say it straight. You said before that you didn't have the ability to kill Yin Shixun, and you didn't know any masters to join forces with you, but now there are two masters around you, how do you explain it?" Xi Baichuan asked directly, in a serious and sharp tone, obviously putting pressure on Jing Jining.
Although Jing Jining was affected by Xi Baichuan's aura, he still looked calm and did not show any guilty reaction.
Before, he felt a little guilty, but now that Shangguan Yang is in the world of cultivation, he is no longer afraid.
"It's understandable that Hall Master Xi has such suspicion, but if I tell him the identity of that master and he still suspects that he will join forces with me to kill Yin Shixun, then I will have nothing to say." Jing Jining said calmly.
"Oh! Who is that expert?"
Hearing this, Xi Baichuan asked curiously.
Not only Xi Baichuan was curious, but Wei Xian and Ning Xujing were also very curious, because from what Jing Jining said, it was obvious that they also knew that master.
"The elder of Kunlun Sect, Shangguan Yang." Jing Jining said, because they appeared in a high-profile manner, there was nothing to hide.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Baichuan and Wei Xian stood up in surprise. They were no longer calm and were extremely unbelievable.
They naturally all knew Shangguan Yang, but they had never seen him in person. However, they thought he had been gone for a long time, and now he suddenly appeared, so they were naturally surprised and questioned him.
"You mean, that master is the elder of Kunlun Sect, Shangguan Yang?" Xi Baichuan asked uncertainly, and also had doubts.
"Yes, the two people following him are his disciples." Jing Jining responded.
"How did you get to know Shangguan Yang and meet him? Also, are you sure that the other person is really Shangguan Yang?" Wei Xian asked.
"Senior Shangguan has been practicing in Kunlun Sect. I went to Kunlun Mountain by chance and met him. I learned that he was still alive and his cultivation was very high. I am afraid that no one in the cultivation world can be his opponent." Jing Jining said, his expression showed respect for Shangguan Yang. As for whether he was sure that the other party was really Shangguan Yang, Jing Jining said: "I have never met Senior Shangguan, but even if he is not Senior Shangguan, his cultivation is enough for Tiandao Sect to treat him with courtesy."
Hearing Jing Jining say that the other party's cultivation was so high that no one in the cultivation world could be his opponent, everyone sighed. If so, he must be in the Out-of-Body Stage or the Spiritual Severing Stage... Thinking of this, several people took a breath again, but still felt that he should not be in the Spiritual Severing Stage, but should be in the middle or peak of the Out-of-Body Stage! Even so, he was still an extremely powerful existence. The three most powerful Out-of-Body Stage masters in their Tiandao Sect were only in the early stages.
