As soon as the Saber Sect's Grand Elder spoke these words, the three grand elders of the Sword Sect, Xia Ye, Xing Feng, and Lin Tian were all dumbstruck!
They never expected that Lu Xuan would actually be so mad!
He'd openly killed people in the Saber Sect's territory, and he didn't just kill one or two, he'd killed five!
Earlier, when Lu Xuan killed those five disciples of the Saber Sect, he just happened to be seen by another disciple, and he'd originally intended to stop Lu Xuan as well. However, when he saw how mighty Lu Xuan was, he didn't dare show himself and could only hide at the side without daring to make a sound.
On the other hand, because Lu Xuan was in a hurry to rescue Lin Xinyi, he wasn't able to notice that someone had escaped, and once he left, that disciple hurriedly reported it to the Saber Sect's Grand Elder.
"Killing a fellow disciple is a taboo of the sect, and it's unforgivable! I know that your Sword Sect is jealous of my Saber Sect, but I never expected that all of you would actually be so deranged and openly kill people in my Saber Sect. My Saber Sect will absolutely not let this matter go, and that Lu Xuan must pay with his life! " The Saber Sect's Grand Elder's tone was extremely ghastly. With sufficient evidence in his possession, he was sufficiently confident in making Lu Xuan die a graveless death!
Truthfully speaking, when he heard the disciple report that Lu Xuan had successively killed five disciples of the Saber Sect, the Saber Sect's Grand Elder wasn't shocked at the first moment, but delighted instead.
Everyone knew of Lu Xuan's natural talent since a long time ago, and if he was allowed to continue developing, then it would practically be impossible for the Saber Sect to hold down the first position in the next Sect Competition. He was just thinking about how to find an opportunity to get rid of Lu Xuan, yet he never expected that Lu Xuan would actually come knocking on his door. If he was able to exchange the lives of five disciples for Lu Xuan's death, then he was completely happy to see it happen. Compared to the prosperity of the Saber Sect, the lives of merely five disciples were nothing.
In the face of the Saber Sect's First Elder's overbearing attitude, Xia Ye and the others all looked at Elder Cheng. They wanted to see how Elder Cheng would respond.
When he heard the news that Lu Xuan had successively killed five people, Elder Cheng was indeed extremely shocked. But after that, his thoughts spun rapidly, and he was thinking about how to absolve Lu Xuan. As the hope of the Sword Sect, he had to protect Lu Xuan no matter what.
When he noticed the gazes of everyone had descended onto him, Elder Cheng said slowly, "Lu Xuan had his reasons for killing. If it wasn't for Xu Wenyang abducting the disciples of my Sword Sect, then how could he have acted in such a frenzy? So, in the end, the responsibility lies with your Saber Sect. Could it be that only members of your Saber Sect are allowed to act against my Sword Sect, yet my Sword Sect isn't allowed to counterattack? If I'm not wrong, then it was definitely those five disciples of yours who wanted to obstruct Lu Xuan from rescuing the disciples, and he had no choice but to kill them by accident! "
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Ye and the others instantly revealed delighted expressions. Elder Cheng really does want to protect Lu Xuan. Moreover, his words caused Xia Ye and the others to feel extreme admiration. It was clearly Lu Xuan who took the initiative to kill them, yet when it came from Elder Cheng, it became Lu Xuan's impatience to rescue the disciples, and he counterattacked in self-defense, causing him to kill by accident.
Elder Cheng's words had undoubtedly caused the four elders of the Saber Sect to be extremely furious, and the Grand Elder even shouted furiously. "You're twisting words and forcing logic! How shameless! No matter what, since Lu Xuan killed members of my Saber Sect, then he'll surely be unable to escape death! "
"The sect's Enforcement Elders will naturally judge whether it's right or wrong. Now, I'm going to look for Lu Xuan and those disciples that Xu Wenyang abducted. All of you move aside." Elder Cheng wasn't afraid in the slightest when facing the Saber Sect's Grand Elder's berating.
The Saber Sect's Grand Elder was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he asked. "Lu Xuan is still in the Saber Sect? Where is he? "
"Since he was abducted by Xu Wenyang, then he's definitely at Xu Wenyang's place right now. If you still don't move aside, then don't blame me for reporting this matter to the Sect Master if I see anything happen to a disciple of my Sword Sect!"
When he heard that Lu Xuan was actually at Xu Wenyang's place at this moment, the Saber Sect's Grand Elder wasn't infuriated but delighted instead, and thoughts spun swiftly in his heart.
He was naturally clearly aware of Xu Wenyang's strength. Even though Lu Xuan was strong, he'd only entered the sect for a short period of time, so he would probably absolutely not be a match for Xu Wenyang. Moreover, Lu Xuan had killed in the outside world, so how could he possibly be well off at Xu Wenyang's place?
Once Lu Xuan made a move, then Xu Wenyang would absolutely not allow himself to be captured. Moreover, based on the Grand Elder's understanding of Xu Wenyang, it was extremely likely that Xu Wenyang would 'accidentally' kill Lu Xuan once the battle began!
When he thought about how it was very likely that Lu Xuan had already died at Xu Wenyang's hands, the Saber Sect's Grand Elder's mood instantly became extremely good. Even though he was extremely confident in being able to kill Lu Xuan since Lu Xuan had killed Lu Xuan first, Elder Cheng's words were not without reason. At that time, if this matter were to be reported to the Enforcement Elder, then perhaps another unexpected event might occur. Instead of that, it would be better to just let Lu Xuan die and put an end to all troubles. Since he was already dead, then even if the Sword Sect pursued the matter, what could they do?
When he thought up to here, a trace of a smile appeared on the Saber Sect's Grand Elder's face, and he uncharacteristically spoke in a friendly manner, "Since Lu Xuan is at Xu Wenyang's place right now, and both of them are involved in this matter, then I'll just send someone to call them over. There's no need for all of you to make this trip. The three great elders of your Sword Sect haven't come to my Saber Sect for a very long time, so why don't you rest and have a cup of tea so that you don't say that my Saber Sect doesn't know how to treat its guests?"
How could Elder Cheng not know the Saber Sect's Grand Elder's thoughts? Without a doubt, he was stalling for time so that Xu Wenyang and Lu Xuan would fight, and it would be best if he could 'accidentally' kill Lu Xuan.
This was exactly what Elder Cheng and the others were worried about. Even though Lu Xuan was able to defeat Lin Tian, it didn't mean that he was a match for Xu Wenyang. As long as Lu Xuan didn't die, everything would be fine, but if he was really killed by Xu Wenyang, then everything would be meaningless. Elder Cheng had already reached his limit by talking nonsense with the members of the Saber Sect.
"Old Xu, Old Lin, let's go. I want to see who dares to stop us!" Elder Cheng glared coldly at the Saber Sect's Grand Elder, and his gaze was filled with a warning intent.
The Sword Sect's decline only meant that the Sword Sect didn't have a successor in the next generation, but it didn't mean that the strength of Elder Cheng's group of three would lose to the Saber Sect's elders. If they were to really fight, then the victor would be unknown.
Elder Cheng's group of three paid no further attention to the Saber Sect's elders, and they carried Xia Ye and the others as they continued flying towards the Saber Sect's side courtyard at an extremely swift speed!
The Saber Sect's Grand Elder's expression changed indeterminately as he gazed at Elder Cheng's group that was charging ahead. In the end, he gave up on his intention to forcefully stop them, and he said to the elders behind him, "Come, let's go over as well. After such a long time, I presume that Lu Xuan is already dead, and they would only be able to collect his corpse if they went over. I want to see how they feel when they see Lu Xuan's corpse."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Saber Sect's Grand Elder was the first to move, and he swiftly chased after them. He was worried that after they saw Lu Xuan's corpse, Elder Cheng's group would fly into a rage out of humiliation and attack Xu Wenyang. That would be bad.
All the elders' strengths were at the Spirit Refinement Realm, and they were able to fly in the air. Their speed was far from something a body refinement cultivator like Lu Xuan could compare to. In next to no time, the Saber Sect's side courtyard was already in sight.
"There's the smell of blood!"
Elder Cheng's expression instantly changed when he smelled a trace of the smell of blood in the air.
"I'm afraid that Lu Xuan has already fought with Xu Wenyang. Could it be …" Elder Xu's expression was slightly unsightly, and he was extremely worried that the scene he imagined would appear.
"Don't worry, Lu Xuan will absolutely not die at Xu Wenyang's hands. His strength is much stronger than we imagined." Lin Tian consoled. Amongst everyone present, the one who understood Lu Xuan's strength the most, and the one who had the most right to speak was undoubtedly Lin Tian, because he'd just finished his battle with Lu Xuan a moment ago.
"I also know that Lu Xuan won't easily lose at Xu Wenyang's hands. However, this is the Saber Sect's territory. If Xu Wenyang has helpers by his side, then it'll be difficult to say." Elder Cheng's expression was heavy.
The elders of the Saber Sect were not far behind Elder Cheng's group, and they naturally smelled the smell of blood in the air as well.
"Hahaha, looks like that Lu Xuan is probably dead. That brat Xu Wenyang likes to seek pleasure here, and no one usually comes close to him. It's definitely not someone else's blood." The Saber Sect's First Elder laughed loudly.
As they spoke, the two groups of people had already arrived in front of the Saber Sect's courtyard. Elder Cheng's strength was the strongest, and his eyesight was naturally the best. In an instant, he arrived before the courtyard and saw a corpse lying there. His expression instantly changed. As expected, someone had died. Who could this person be?
The two groups of people descended at the same time, and they went straight for the corpse. Elder Cheng was the first to arrive, and the people from the Saber Sect followed closely behind. When they saw the corpse, Elder Cheng and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Although the corpse had been beheaded, it was obviously not Lu Xuan's corpse based on his clothes.
The Saber Sect's First Elder and the others frowned slightly. It was actually not Lu Xuan?
However, his brows relaxed immediately, and he revealed a sinister smile as he looked at Elder Cheng. He said, "This clothes is the Fist Sect's disciple's clothes. I didn't expect that not only did Lu Xuan kill my Saber Sect's disciple, he even attacked a Fist Sect's disciple, and even beheaded him. Such an evil person must be killed as soon as possible!"
"This person is the Fist Sect's Long Tian. He was the one who tricked Xinyi into leaving the Sword Sect, and then kidnapped her. Death cannot wipe out his crimes!" Xia Ye suddenly spoke. Yao Lei had told him everything, and he was naturally clear about it.
"So they're jackals of the same tribe, and they naturally seek death! Moreover, there's no evidence, so how do you know that Lu Xuan killed them? Maybe Xu Wenyang was worried that he would be exposed, so he killed them to silence them. "Elder Cheng still spoke up for Lu Xuan.
Elder Xu suddenly spoke, "There's still a bloody smell inside. The battle didn't happen here alone."
Elder Cheng was worried about Lu Xuan, so he didn't waste any more words with the people from the Saber Sect. The group of people hurriedly walked inside. There was no need to search intentionally, and they just had to follow the direction of the bloody smell.
Very quickly, the group of ten people, including the four Great Elders of the Saber Sect, arrived before the master bedroom of the Saber Sect's courtyard. They saw that the master bedroom's door had been broken a long time ago, and the strong bloody smell was coming from here!
At this moment, it was quiet inside, and there wasn't a single sound of fighting. Obviously, the dust had already settled. Elder Cheng and the others felt even more uneasy, whereas the Saber Sect's Elders revealed joyful expressions. With such a strong bloody smell, someone had definitely died, and it was extremely likely that Lu Xuan had already been successfully killed by Xu Wenyang!
