Ling Xiao's expression was still very indifferent, facing Elder Jin's interrogation, he didn't show the slightest hint of nervousness.
Because the more nervous he was, the more likely he would say something wrong.
What's more, he hadn't done anything wrong, so he wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on his door in the middle of the night. However, there were some things he had to hide for the time being.
"Let's talk about the mission first."
Ling Xiao replied slowly, "The reason why the three of them failed is actually very simple, not only were they weak, but they were also too stupid! They knew that the Plague Demon King was proficient in plagues and Spirit Arrays, but they didn't bring a pill to resist plagues, nor did they invite a disciple who was proficient in Spirit Arrays to accompany them. "
"What shameless boasting, do you think you're stronger than them?"
"That's right!"
Ling Xiao nodded, full of confidence.
"Hahaha, is this little brat crazy?"
"He actually said he's stronger than Wanyan Jun? Wanyan Jun is a peak Third Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator! "
"I'm afraid he's being interrogated so he doesn't know how to answer, so he's just spouting nonsense, right?"
A moment later, the crowd burst into laughter. These Inner Sect disciples were all elites, even the weakest among them was an early Third Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator, so they naturally looked down on an Outer Sect disciple.
Ling Xiao ignored their ridicule and continued to answer, "As for the Spirit Array outside the door, it was indeed arranged by this disciple, but I only used the Plague Demon King's original Plague Bone Dissolving Array, so it wasn't difficult. When this disciple was in the Yuehua School, I learned Spirit Arrays from the Spirit Array Hall. Unfortunately, my talent in this area is quite good."
"This senior can testify to this! This boy was even able to discover the flaw in Guang Han Temple's Spirit Array and kill two traitorous disciples who trespassed on Guang Han Temple! "
Wanghan Tianzun said, "Speaking of which, The Flame Deity wanted to kill this boy because of this matter."
"Alright, even if this matter is true, you saying that you're stronger than Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei is simply unbelievable."
Elder Jin frowned.
"Supreme Elder, having a high cultivation doesn't mean I'm strong!"
Ling Xiao didn't want to explain too much, because the more he said, the easier it would be to expose his flaws.
Now, he only needed to prove that he was stronger than Wanyan Jun, and that he was good at arrays. Then, he could explain why he was able to complete the mission.
As for Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui's deaths, there was no evidence. Unless Elder Jin was shameless enough to pin this crime on him, there was no need to worry at all.
Therefore, at the end of the day, there was only one key problem.
Was he, Ling Xiao, stronger than Wanyan Jun, a peak Transcendent Realm Third Layer cultivator?
As long as he could prove that he was stronger than Wanyan Jun, then all the doubts would be solved. No matter how suspicious Elder Jin and the others were, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence and they wouldn't be able to target Ling Xiao.
Don't forget, there was still Wanghan Tianzun here. She wouldn't allow Elder Jin and Elder Tu to mess around.
As for Heavenly Sovereign Golden Light, he was clearly completely neutral, not helping either side.
Shangguan Lei didn't come with them this time, but he had already been questioned when he was in the Sect.
That guy described Ling Xiao as a powerful existence comparable to a Core Disciple. Not only had he helped them a lot, but he had also saved him in the end. Unfortunately, the enemy was too strong, so Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui were killed in the end.
Shangguan Lei had discussed this with Ling Xiao, but what he said was a little exaggerated.
Neither of them was willing to mention that Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui had betrayed Yuehua School. Although this was a fact, if the two of them poured dirty water on the dead, they would be despised and doubted by many people.
If they didn't want to cause trouble, they naturally couldn't say anything.
Originally, the Sect's Elders were very skeptical of Shangguan Lei's words, but now that Ling Xiao had said the same thing, if Ling Xiao was really strong, and he was also good at Alchemy and Spirit Arrays, then he might really be as powerful as Shangguan Lei said.
"Supreme Elder, since this boy is boasting shamelessly, why don't you let this disciple test his strength?"
Hei Suo originally had a grudge against Ling Xiao, and in addition, he had been tormented to death by the Plague Bone Dissolving Formation that Ling Xiao had set up. Hei Suo's anger just happened to have nowhere to be vented.
Now that Ling Xiao said he was stronger than Wanyan Jun, he could seize this opportunity.
"Hei Suo, you are an early stage Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer cultivator, much stronger than Wanyan Jun. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to test him, right?"
Wanghan Tianzun frowned.
"Reporting to Wanghan Tianzun, since Ling Xiao said he could complete the task alone, it stands to reason that his strength alone should be stronger than Wanyan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shangguan Lei combined. This disciple is at most slightly stronger than the three of them combined."
Hei Suo said with a smile.
"You can't say that. If the three of them can't work together, they might be weaker than one person. How can you say that?"
Wanghan Tianzun said.
"Guanghan, how about this, this King makes a suggestion. There is no need for Ling Xiao to defeat Hei Suo, as long as he can last fifty moves under Hei Suo's hands, he will pass, how about it?"
Elder Jin really didn't believe that a mere half-step Grandmaster, no matter what kind of terrifying Martial Skill he cultivated, could really be a match for an early stage Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer cultivator?
He had lived for more than two hundred years and had never heard of such a thing.
It was normal that he hadn't heard of it because Ling Xiao wasn't a half-step Grandmaster, he was a peak Second Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator.
He had only used the Mountain River Martial Spirit's model to hide his cultivation.
"This … Ling Xiao, what do you think?"
Wanghan Tianzun looked at Ling Xiao and asked.
"As long as the Elders approve, this disciple naturally has no problems!"
Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, "But do you really intend to let this Hei Suo take action? Back in Sky Cloud City, he was already defeated by me."
"That's because you used despicable and shameless methods."
Every time the past in Sky Cloud City's White Cloud Monastery was mentioned, Hei Suo felt half of his body in pain.
At that time, he had used his terrifying strength to trample all the experts in White Cloud Monastery, including Grandmaster Bai Yun, under his feet.
However, facing Ling Xiao who was only at the eighth level of the Martial Vein Realm, he had suffered a huge setback and almost died there.
Ling Xiao was like a demon in his heart, a hurdle in his path of martial arts.
He couldn't wait to kill Ling Xiao and cut off this demon so that he could open up the barrier in his path of martial arts.
However, he had not expected that he had secretly sent people to deal with Ling Xiao, but in the end, they were all resolved by Ling Xiao, which made him feel even more frustrated.
Even his Master, The Flame Deity, was seriously injured because of this kid and was still recuperating.
"Despicable? Don't tell me that when you meet an enemy outside, you still have to beg for a fair fight? What a joke, you're an elite among the inner disciples. "
