The Great Elder was so agitated that he roared in front of the crowd.
The bustling square quieted down in an instant.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the Great Elder in disbelief.
The other seven Elders were also dumbfounded. They looked at the Great Elder in bewilderment and couldn't help but ask questions.
"What's going on? Has the ancestral Divine Skill been stolen? "
"How is this possible? The Soaring White Sun Scripture has always been in the Great Elder's care. It has never been stolen for hundreds of years! "
"This is too serious. We must investigate thoroughly! If any of our disciples dared to steal it, I'll be the first to punish them! "
"That's right! No matter which branch this person belongs to, no matter what his background or reason is, we must not let him off! "
All the Elders were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to send people to investigate. They swore to punish the person who stole the Divine Skill.
The thousands of Xiao Clan members in the square were also filled with doubt and shock. They found it unbelievable and started to discuss among themselves.
The Great Elder quickly suppressed his anger and said coldly, "All of you wait here. I'll go and check on the situation now!"
After saying that, he brought the captain of the guards and flew across the night sky at lightning speed. They rushed back to their residence.
After the First Elder left, the seven elders on the stage gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
The thousands of people in the square were discussing even more intensely. They exclaimed and cursed angrily from time to time.
Everyone knew that this matter was too serious.
Once it was confirmed that the ancestral Divine Skill had been stolen, the Xiao Clan would be in turmoil.
Even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, the Xiao Clan would find the person who stole the Divine Skill and punish him!
In the crowd, Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke were quietly treating their injuries. However, their eyes kept glancing at Ji Tianxing from afar.
Both of their eyes were filled with a mocking sneer.
Compared to the show that was about to come, the humiliation and failure they had suffered before were nothing.
Although they didn't show it on their faces, they were sneering in their hearts. They couldn't wait to see Ji Tianxing being punished!
Unknowingly, 15 minutes had passed.
The Great Elder brought the captain of the guards back to the square with an ashen face.
The noisy square immediately quieted down. Everyone turned to look at the Great Elder.
The Grand Elder's body was shrouded in a layer of cold air and killing intent. With a cold voice, he said, "I've just investigated. The Soaring Sun Scripture that has been kept in the secret chamber has indeed been stolen by someone.
The Soaring White Sun Scripture is a Soul-grade cultivation technique created by our Old Ancestor. It is also the divine cultivation technique and capital of our Xiao Clan!
But now, someone had actually stolen the divine technique passed down from their ancestors. Such a disgraceful act of deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors was truly shocking, and it had never appeared in the past few hundred years!
There is no need for me to explain the seriousness of the matter. Everyone should understand. "
The dignified voice of the First Elder spread throughout the entire square.
His tone was extremely low, icy cold, and contained piercingly cold killing intent.
Everyone felt a deep chill. A deep sense of reverence rose in their hearts as they looked at the Great Elder with a solemn expression.
The Great Elder's gaze swept across the square like lightning. With a deep voice, he said, "It happened yesterday or today. The traitor who stole the divine technique passed down from our ancestors might be in the square right now!
I will now give you a chance to repent and start anew. If you take the initiative to confess, I will be lenient and spare your life!
If you don't cherish this chance and refuse to confess, I will sentence you to death when I find out the truth!! "
The mighty sound waves spread out and reverberated fiercely in the night sky.
The dull sound caused the entire mountain peak to tremble.
The Great Elder's majestic aura caused everyone's body to tremble. A deep sense of reverence and fear rose in their hearts.
For a moment, countless people lowered their heads. Their hearts were on tenterhooks, and they did not even dare to whisper.
Only Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke, and Xiao Zhan sneered even more coldly in their eyes.
The more furious the Great Elder was, the more complacent they felt.
Everyone in the square was silent. No one uttered a word.
Ji Tianxing also stood indifferently in the crowd, waiting for the development of the matter.
Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke, and the rest secretly saw his reaction and sneered even more complacently in their hearts.
"Hmph! This brat is still in the dark. He doesn't know anything! "
"Little bastard, I really want to see how you react later. Will you be so scared that you cry on the spot?"
"Ignorant brat, you probably don't know that you are in big trouble, right?"
The Great Elder waited for a moment. When he saw that no one in the square stood up to confess, he sneered.
He said with a murderous look, "Good! Damn traitor, since you don't want to cherish this chance, don't blame me for being ruthless!
I have placed a seal on the treasure box that contains the Soaring White Sun Scripture, and it also contains my soul aura.
I will find the treasure box later and find out the truth. At that time, you will be dead without a doubt!
Now, everyone can report and expose each other. In these two days, anyone who has entered my house and whose whereabouts are strange can be exposed!
As long as the identity of the traitor is confirmed, the corresponding informant will be rewarded with 100,000 Spirit Stones and a Soul-level treasure! "
When the Great Elder's voice fell, the thousands of people in the square suddenly became excited.
Almost everyone was shocked. Their expressions and eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.
"100,000 Spirit Stones and a Soul-level treasure! This is too exaggerated!"
"This is simply a trump card! Such a generous reward is enough to make people lose their minds! "
"The Great Elder's trick is really awesome! The traitor who stole the ancestral divine art is doomed! "
"Report! Great Elder, I want to expose the traitor! "
"I want to report, too!"
Almost a moment later, more than ten people of the Xiao Clan rushed out of the crowd and came to the arena to report to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder looked at the crowd with majestic eyes and shouted in a deep voice, "You can report and expose, but if you maliciously frame someone, I will not spare you!"
More than half of the agitated people of the Xiao Clan calmed down immediately. They were so scared that they shrank their necks and hurriedly retreated into the crowd.
There were only a few people left who were overwhelmed by the generous rewards. They shouted excitedly, "Great Elder! Buttface from the eighth branch … oh, no, Xiao Erzhuang sneaked into Mount Changqing last night! I suspect that he stole the ancestral divine art! "
"Great Elder! Xiao Jinyu from the fourth branch sneaked into the back of the mountain this morning and was very sneaky …. "
The two members of the Xiao Clan who were reported changed their expressions drastically. They were so scared that they jumped out to defend themselves.
"Great Elder! I am innocent! I, Xiao Ergou … no, I, Xiao Erzhuang, would never steal the divine art. I came to Mount Changqing last night to have a rendezvous with Xiao Cui! "
"Great Elder! I was also wrongly accused. This morning, I was discussing life with Xiao Cheng from the fifth branch in the back mountain! "
The scene was chaotic. The people who reported the matter spoke with conviction and conviction.
The people who were reported were scared out of their wits. They did not care about their privacy and dignity. They revealed the truth in public, hoping to wash away the suspicion.
When the Great Elder saw that the crowd was in a mess, he was so angry that his face turned pale. He scolded the members of the Xiao Clan.
Those who reported or were exposed were all chased away by the guards.
Seeing that the square had quieted down again, no one dared to casually stand out.
Just at this time, a burly middle-aged man with a majestic aura stepped into the arena.
This man was Xiao Zhan. He walked up to the Great Elder and saluted with his hands folded. "Great Elder, I know a person who is very likely to have stolen the ancestral divine art!
This person was brought back by Xiao Han from the third branch. His name is Tianxing Xiao!
He is not a member of the main branch of the Xiao Clan. He is Xiao Han's nephew.
