(Update 20!!)
— —
Outside Saint's Tomb, on the vast plain.
Experts from various sects were still gathered there, waiting.
"Jian Wushuang is dead meat this time!"
"Indeed, there's no way he can escape with so many sects targeting him."
"There's news. Jian Wushuang has been surrounded by many sects' disciples and is now a sitting duck. Long Zishan and the others from the Great Compassion Sect have also arrived and are fighting with him."
News began to spread among these experts one after another.
Those sects' experts all looked quite relaxed.
They had to admit that Jian Wushuang was indeed an amazing genius, definitely at the level of a monster.
However, such a monster should never have angered the masses.
No matter how talented he was, he would only have a dead end after angering the masses.
In a corner, the three elders of Narcissus Island gathered together.
"Second Elder, how's the Island Master?" Elder Wujian asked anxiously.
"The Island Master has already discussed Jian Wushuang with many elders, but no decision has been made yet," said Elder Linghe.
"No decision?" Elder Wujian frowned. "Why is there a need to make a decision? The Island Master should be here in person. Only if he's here in person can it be possible to protect Jian Wushuang."
"Wujian." Elder Linghe took a deep look at Elder Wujian and solemnly said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. Jian Wushuang has provoked too many sects this time. Narcissus Island has to be careful in handling this matter. Otherwise, it's very likely that we'll become the public enemy of all sects."
"Now, many elders on the island are divided into two factions. A few of them are like you, thinking that Jian Wushuang is a true peerless genius, a genius that has never been born in Wusha Wilderness. His future is limitless, and Narcissus Island should protect him at all costs."
"However, the other faction, which has more elders, thinks that it's not appropriate for Narcissus Island to be enemies with so many sects at once. This will bring disaster to Narcissus Island, so they think that we should take the initiative to hand Jian Wushuang over."
"What?" Elder Wujian's expression changed. "Hand it over? Jian Wushuang is a disciple of Narcissus Island. It's fine if Narcissus Island doesn't do anything to protect him, but why would we hand him over? "
Elder Wujian could not understand at all.
His own sect actually didn't do their best to protect their own disciples?
Even if they couldn't protect him due to the pressure from the various sects, they should at least try their best to help him. But in the end, they had to take the initiative to hand him over?
How was this like something a large sect would do?
"Wujian, there's something you need to know first." Linghe continued, "Jian Wushuang is only an outer disciple of Narcissus Island after all. He has only joined Narcissus Island for a short period of time. Most importantly, he has unparalleled talent, but he is only willing to be an outer disciple. Why is that? It's all because he doesn't like to be bound by our Narcissus Island. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have a sense of belonging to our Narcissus Island. "
"Why should Narcissus Island protect such a disciple at the risk of offending various sects?"
"Elder Linghe is right. Although I admit that Jian Wushuang's talent is incredible, we have to consider the sect. Although it's a little unreasonable to hand Jian Wushuang over, it's the most appropriate thing to do." The Seventh Elder nodded and said.
"Both of you …" Elder Wujian was stunned.
He could see that both Elder Linghe and the Seventh Elder agreed to hand Jian Wushuang over.
If both of them were like that, then most of the elders in Narcissus Island would probably think the same.
"Of course, no matter what we think, the final decision will be made by the Lord of Narcissus Island. Let's wait and see," said Elder Linghe.
"Wait?" Elder Wujian sneered. "Now that the war in Saint's Tomb has broken out, the genius disciples from various sects are besieging Jian Wushuang. Jian Wushuang definitely won't be able to hold them off. He will most likely crush his Safety Token and come out of Saint's Tomb. However, after he comes out of Saint's Tomb, the experts from various sects will definitely not let him go. Under such circumstances, if Narcissus Island doesn't protect him immediately, he will definitely die!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. He asked for it." Elder Linghe said directly, "If he chose to become a core disciple of Narcissus Island at the first opportunity and has a strong sense of belonging to Narcissus Island, Narcissus Island will definitely do our best to protect him. However, he only wants to be an outer disciple."
Elder Wujian's heart was filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He could only continue to wait.
The experts from various sects on the plains were also waiting quietly.
They were waiting for Jian Wushuang to be killed or for Jian Wushuang to crush his Safety Token and appear on the plains.
No matter which option it was, Jian Wushuang's only fate was death.
However, the wait did not last long.
Hum!
A burst of light suddenly lit up.
"Is he here?"
"Is that Jian Wushuang?"
All of a sudden, a large number of experts from various sects on the plains looked at the light in unison.
The light dissipated and a figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
However, the experts from various sects had a strange look on their faces when they saw the figure.
The figure that appeared was an aloof woman. She was the top genius from the Great Compassion Sect and one of the Twelve Minor Kings, Yu Aoqing!
Jian Wushuang did not appear there. Instead, Yu Aoqing was the first to appear.
"Aoqing, what's going on?"
"Junior Sister Aoqing, why did you crush your Safety Token?"
Several experts from the Great Compassion Sect immediately went forward to ask.
They were all puzzled.
At that moment, Yu Aoqing's eyes were still a little empty.
Her consciousness was still in Saint's Tomb, lingering in the battle with Jian Wushuang.
Especially the scene that she could not believe at all.
She had reached a state of selflessness and found the perfect opportunity to stab Jian Wushuang with the most perfect and strongest attack. It had already broken through Jian Wushuang's defense, but it was blocked by his ribs.
"Junior Sister Aoqing," Tu Qiancheng called out again.
Yu Aoqing came back to her senses and noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Yu Aoqing was startled at first, but then she slowly said, "Jian Wushuang's strength is much more terrifying than we thought. Senior Brother Zishan, Junior Brother Yan, and I formed the Four Symbols Formation to besiege him, but it was defeated by him head-on. Junior Brother Yan and the other three were also killed on the spot."
