Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Hall of Mission subconsciously believed everyone's words. If an ancient demon had really appeared in the Abyss Continent, and Jacob and the others happened to encounter it, then Jacob and the others' deaths would not be in vain.
In fact, they did not believe that Barty could kill Jacob and the others by himself. Barty must have used some kind of trick to kill Jacob and the others.
Although they were very suspicious, they did not have any evidence. After all, they did not go to the Abyss Continent, and there were no witnesses or material evidence around to prove it.
"Elders, if you still do not believe me, why don't you report this to the group of elders and have them send someone down to investigate this matter thoroughly and see if there is anything fishy about it?"
Xia Ping made his own suggestion, "If it really was my fault, then I will take full responsibility for this matter. However, if there were any other factors involved, or if there were some people who had interfered, I believe that the council of elders would not let go of those who tried to harm Elder Jacob and the others. They would catch all of them and kill them all to ensure fairness."
He smiled and looked at the three elders of the Mission Hall with a threatening look in his eyes.
"Then, there is no need to make such a big deal out of it."
Hearing this, the elder in black felt his hair stand on end. He was sweating profusely, but he quickly laughed it off.
What a joke. If this matter was handed over to the group of elders, they would definitely reveal all of their plans. When that happened, it would cause a huge uproar, and who knew how many people would die.
First of all, as a Near Ancient Saint, the mastermind behind Minerva would not be harmed. The only ones who would be harmed would be the small fries who were caught to take the blame.
It could be said that this matter could only be buried and not announced. Otherwise, all of them would die.
"Yes, yes. If an ancient demon appeared, then Jacob and the others did not die in vain."
"Indeed. This matter should not have much to do with Barty."
"Also, in terms of strength, there is no way Barty could have killed Jacob and the others."
"Sigh, Elder Jacob and the others were really unlucky to die at such a young age. What a pity."
"Isn't that right? However, life is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen? You might choke to death while eating. "
The words of the three Mission Hall Elders immediately removed this matter from Xia Ping's shoulders. They did not plan to pursue this matter any further, lest they brought more trouble upon themselves.
After all, even if they continued to pursue the matter, they would not gain anything from it. Instead, they might even report this matter to the elders. At that time, they would probably be in deep trouble.
Even if they used to be good friends with Jacob, in the face of disaster, even husband and wife would be separated. Not to mention that they were just swine friends, and Jacob might even die.
There was no need for them to bring trouble upon themselves because of a dead person.
Now that Jacob and the others were dead, there shouldn't be many people who would pursue the matter. As long as they could shut this kid's mouth, everyone would be safe.
As for Minerva's anger, it had nothing to do with them.
Xia Ping did not say anything. He merely looked at the three elders of the Mission Hall with a faint smile.
Suddenly, the black-clothed elder was extremely embarrassed. He was like a thief who had been caught. He was so arrogant just now, but now he was bowing to this extent. It was really embarrassing.
However, he had no choice but to lower his head now.
"Ahem. How about this, Barty? You've done well in this Trial Mission and obtained an excellent result. Everyone can see that, so I'll appoint you as the team leader of the treasury's guards. You'll be in charge of a team. Here, this is the team leader's token. Tomorrow, you can go directly to the treasury and take up your post. "
To shut Xia Ping's mouth, the black-clothed elder took the liberty of putting a team leader's token on Xia Ping, indicating that he was now an official and did not need to be a soldier anymore.
When the other Illusion people saw this, their intestines turned green with jealousy. They were all people who had just passed the trial, so why were they only able to be guards? That d * mn Barty, on the other hand, was able to soar to the sky and become a team leader. It did not make sense.
However, when they saw the fierce look in the three elders' eyes, none of them dared to make a sound. If the elders made things difficult for them, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
After that, the three elders left with their tails between their legs. They did not dare to stay in the same place. They were afraid that Barty would go crazy and drag them all down with him. They would all die together.
At this time, Xia Ping did not care about the others. He left the square, planning to return to Lawrence City.
However, just as he left the square, he bumped into Emma at the door.
"Barty, you're still alive?"
Luv Ma looked at Xia Ping in shock. She had only come to this place because she had a sliver of hope that Barty was still alive.
However, she also knew that it was impossible. After all, he had angered Minerva, a near ancient saint, and ambushed by Jacob and the other elders. There was no way he could escape death.
However, when she came to this place, she was shocked to find that Xia Ping was not dead. Even Jacob and the others had disappeared without a trace. They were probably dead.
She couldn't believe her own eyes at this moment.
"Yes, I'm lucky I'm not dead. I'm lucky that the family head gave me a charm. Otherwise, I would have been ambushed by Jacob and the others and died."
Xia Ping said.
"This!"
Emma did not know what to say. If the family head Sophia had not betrayed Barty, this would not have happened to him. He would not have needed a charm to take revenge.
However, she could not say it out loud.
Regardless, Barty came back alive. This was the silver lining in the misfortune.
"It's good that you're back. Don't leave the illusion casually for now. Just stay here and train. It's dangerous outside."
Emma looked at Xia Ping seriously. She knew that Minerva was a vicious person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If he could not kill Barty this time, he would definitely calculate the next time. He would not give up until Barty died.
"Thanks for the reminder. I understand. How about this? I still have something to do. I need to go back and rest. I won't accompany you for now," Xia Ping said to Emma.
"Okay."
Emma understood how tired Barty was. After all, he had gone through a near-death experience. He definitely needed some time to rest.
With a whoosh, Xia Ping left the place and returned to his home in Lawrence City.
Emma looked at Xia Ping deeply, then turned around and went back to Lawrence Castle. She wanted to go back and report to the family head Sophia that Barty was still alive.
