Chapter 197
"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy."
A dull voice sounded from the center of the venue.
The ancestor of the Li family looked in the direction of the sound with an unhappy expression, and at the same time quickly looked towards the place where the golden thread broke.
"Is this how you treat guests?" The Li family's head fixed his gaze on the direction where the golden thread was drifting. "What if I refuse?"
As soon as the Li family ancestor finished speaking, Ye Lan saw a white-haired old man flash in the center.
There was no expression on his face, almost no emotion at all.
The elders beside him all bowed.
"You are the ancestor of the Li family, but this is where all the sects gather. If you have conflicts with others, as long as you leave this place, we will not care. If you want to force..."
The Li family patriarch's eyes were calm, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "If you force it, what should we do?"
The white-haired old man glanced at the Li family ancestor calmly, and after a long while, he slowly said, "If you forcibly interfere with this sect competition, then I will naturally not sit idly by. Fellow Daoist, you can give it a try."
The people from the various sects below were holding their breath, and there were also a few people mocking them.
"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel! Some people have no sense of self-awareness at all!"
"Exactly. If it weren't for them, how could this competition be interrupted? We've had sect competitions for so many years, and nothing like this has ever happened before."
'Rat shit' Ye Lan Leng Qingqiu: ...
The two of them were in a very good mood and were not angered by these few words.
The ancestor of the Li family above was unwilling to accept that he had not found the murderer of Li Wanyou from the Xiaoyao Sect.
He exudes the aura of dominance of a strong man, and his actions show that he will never compromise.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed the place where the golden thread had just floated.
The people below were frightened and fled in all directions.
The two big hands kept moving downwards, and suddenly, the white-haired old man waved his sleeves and knocked the two big hands back.
The Li family patriarch was enraged by this action, "You want to stop me? Do you really think you can stop me?"
"I have already said that I will take down the people from Xiaoyao Sect today!"
The white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light burst out from his eyes.
"I have already said that after the sect competition is over, you can do whatever you want with me. If you insist on doing things your own way and anger all the sects present, don't say that I didn't warn you."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he just looked at the ancestor of the Li family quietly.
The ancestor of the Li family glanced down and thought for a moment.
If they force it, it would damage the reputation of the Li family.
After thinking it over, the ancestor of the Li family finally figured it out and withdrew his hand.
"Well, it's only two days anyway. I can wait." As he said that, the Li family ancestor's gaze suddenly fell on Ye Lan and Leng Qingqiu who were sitting in the corner of the crowd.
Under the gaze of the white-haired old man, the ancestor of the Li family waved his sleeves and his entire figure disappeared above their heads.
After the crisis was over, the white-haired old man who was summoned looked towards the direction of Ye Lan and Leng Qingqiu with a hint of deep meaning, and then disappeared on the spot.
The elders all stepped forward to organize the situation and continue the next game.
Seeing that everyone was frightened and panicked, the elders said in a humane manner: "You have been frightened today. Today's competition is suspended. Everyone rest for a day and continue tomorrow."
After saying that, the figure disappeared from the spot.
Ye Lan glanced at Leng Qingqiu, then quickly returned to his destination.
"What should we do?" Ye Lan couldn't help but ask as soon as he returned to the room.
It was obvious that the Li family's ancestor's cultivation was much higher than his own. If he and Leng Qingqiu fought head-on, they would definitely not gain any advantage.
Leng Qingqiu was not in a hurry at all. He poured a cup of spiritual tea and handed it to Ye Lan.
"No rush. We don't have the words 'Xiaoyao Sect' on our bodies. The Li family ancestor wants to find out who killed his Li family head. In other words, he wants to find out who is from the Xiaoyao Sect."
The golden thread that the ancestor of the Li family transformed from the broken jade slip suddenly appeared in Ye Lan's mind, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, if they hadn’t come forward themselves or been pointed out by others, the Li family’s ancestor would have had no idea that they were the ones from the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Master, don't worry too much. I've already stuffed the Xiaoyao Sect's tokens on those chattering disciples. Once the sect competition is over, they'll hold us back, giving us more time to escape."
Ye Lan was stunned. He didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to say that.
"When did you release it? How come I don't know?"
Leng Qingqiu wiped the tea that had fallen from the corner of Ye Lan's mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly: "Just when they were talking about the rat shit, it's just a small sect anyway. He has bad character and a bad mouth. It's their honor to be chosen..."
Ye Lan's body trembled inexplicably when he heard Leng Qingqiu's words.
Yes, he almost forgot that Leng Qingqiu was a crazy and bloodthirsty man.
This is simply something he can do.
Ye Lan did not try to defend the man who spoke ill of their Xiaoyao Sect. In this world of cultivation, the strong are respected.
He wouldn't be so careless as to be a priest.
Besides, he was the one being scolded...
Ye Lan lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the spiritual tea in his hand.
His eyelashes were like a butterfly, gently resting on the spiritual tea.
Leng Qingqiu felt distressed when he saw her cautious look.
They have come a long way, and so many things have happened.
He had never seen this expression on Ye Lan's face before, and couldn't help but ask, "Why? Master, do you think I'm cruel and ruthless?"
Ye Lan, who was immersed in his own world, was stunned by this question. He shook his head and the dejected look on his face disappeared.
Ye Lan raised his head and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp. He said, "When it comes to life, this little trick is nothing. Besides, those people weren't good people, so we can be considered to be eliminating harm for the people."
Anyone who can slander and accuse others in public is probably not a good person.
He thought it through clearly. After a while, he took out a map, checked the location of the Fu Sheng Sect mentioned by the leader, and studied the escape route of the past two days.
The Fusheng Sect is far away from Xingyao City. It is a place of its own and there is no one living around it.
Ye Lan sighed in his heart, and could only hope that the leader could be more reliable, and that the Fu Sheng Sect that was guiding them could protect them.
While thinking about it, Ye Lan started to tinker with his craft again. He wanted to make an escape tool as soon as possible!
Regarding typos, please point them out first. If it's a software issue, your comments will be drowned out, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see them in time and fix them, so I'd like to say this here: all typos in all chapters will be fixed before the end. Thank you.
