Duan Lingtian couldn't help but shudder when he heard Ye Xuan.
If this little girl grows up in the future, she'll probably be a figure like the Little She-Devil.
When he thought of the Little She-Devil, Duan Lingtian's gaze became dazed, and the figure of a yellow clothed young woman appeared in his mind.
The yellow clothed young woman was precisely Han Xuenai.
"I wonder what Xue Nai is doing at this moment … There's also Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White. I wonder if they've come out from that place."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart, and when he returned to his senses, he'd already descended onto a three story pavilion with Chen Wei.
"There's a master bedroom on every single floor of this pavilion. All of you can make your own arrangements."
Chen Wei said to Duan Lingtian's group of three. "If you lack anything, all of you can come look for me … I'm staying in that pavilion."
As he spoke, Chen Wei pointed towards a two story pavilion in the distance.
"Mmm."
Duan Lingtian's group of three nodded, and then they entered the pavilion.
Huang Daniu took the lowest floor, Ye Xuan stayed on the second floor, whereas Duan Lingtian stayed on the top floor.
As soon as they left the master bedroom on the top floor, a boundless blue sky and white clouds would appear before their eyes.
When Duan Lingtian's group of three entered the pavilion, those Wood Peak disciples that were watching the show dispersed successively, yet their faces were filled with indescribable excitement.
"I truly never imagined that Senior Brother Chen and Elder Ke would bring back two such outstanding young experts this time."
"Our Wood Peak can hold our heads high now … The Battle of the Five Peaks is only the beginning."
"The Battle of the Five Peaks is in another three days … It's truly something that I look forward to."
…
Smiles suffused the faces of all the Wood Peak disciples.
They were disciples of the Wood Peak and shared both honor and disgrace with the Wood Peak. The Wood Peak being at the bottom amongst the five peaks of the Five Element Sect caused them to suffer disdain from the disciples of the other four peaks and be unable to hold their heads high.
They'd been unable to endure such days since long ago.
This time, when they saw they had a chance to turn the tables, they were naturally extremely excited.
Not long after, more than half of the Wood Peak found out about what had occurred earlier.
For a time, all the Wood Peak disciples that found out about this matter were excited and seething with excitement.
Right when most of the Wood Peak disciples were in an uproar, there were some disciples that were exceptions …
Luo Chen was one of them.
After Luo Chen consumed the healing pill, his swollen face returned to normal. There were no signs of injury.
However, his current expression was extremely ugly. He stood there in the air, feeling somewhat uneasy.
At a place near the peak of the Wood Peak stood a three story pavilion. This pavilion was isolated at the side of a precipitous cliff, and it looked to be extremely dangerous, causing others to be unable to help but feel terrified.
As he gazed at the pavilion before him, Luo Chen's face was filled with a conflicted expression. In the end, he gritted his teeth and flew out to descend onto the pavilion.
"He's back?"
At this moment, an old man in red clothes walked out of a room on the third floor of the pavilion. The old man had a strong body and a curly beard on his face. He looked careless.
"Master."
Luo Chen was extremely respectful when facing the old man, but his expression was somewhat ugly. His mouth moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. It was as if there was something that was difficult for him to say.
"What?"
The curly bearded old man noticed that something was off with Luo Chen, and he asked with bewilderment.
"Master."
Luo Chen took a deep breath. He knew very clearly in his heart that even if he didn't say anything now, it wouldn't take long for his master to find out about Hong Xi.
So he chose to be frank.
"Hong Xi, he …"
Luo Chen looked at the curly bearded old man, his master, with a slightly perturbed expression, and he slowly spat out three words before hesitating slightly and seeming to be unable to continue.
Some time ago, his master could be said to have paid a great price for the sake of pulling Hong Xi into the Five Element Sect and the Wood Peak.
Besides wasting time for nothing, he'd even spent a great deal of grade three spirit weapons and Concept Fragments on the power Hong Xi was in.
Yet now, Hong Xi had died, and he'd died in the Wood Peak!
"What happened to Hong Xi?"
The curly bearded old man's face went grim.
"Master, Hong Xi, he … he was killed by someone!"
Luo Chen took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"What?!"
The curly bearded old man's pupils constricted as cold lights flashed within them, and he asked with a grim voice. "Was it the members of the Water Peak, Fire Peak, or Earth Peak?"
"None of them."
Luo Chen shook his head.
"None of them?"
The curly bearded old man frowned. "Then how did he die? Could it be that it was the members of the Gold Peak that did it? "
When the Gold Peak was mentioned, the old man's eyes revealed a trace of fear.
"No."
Luo Chen shook his head once more and laughed bitterly. "It was the members of our Wood Peak."
"The members of our Wood Peak?"
The curly bearded old man was shocked, and then he frowned as he asked. "Could it be that he offended an elder, or perhaps he offended a middle aged disciple?"
As far as he was concerned.
With Hong Xi's strength, besides the elders of the Wood Peak and those middle aged disciples, practically no one in the entire Wood Peak was capable of killing him.
Hong Xi's strength was comparable to the most outstanding disciples in the younger generation of the Wood Peak, Chen Wei and Luo Chen, and even if Chen Wei and Luo Chen made a move, it would be impossible for them to kill Hong Xi.
"No!"
Luo Chen shook his head once more.
"No?"
The corners of the curly bearded old man's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and his eyes revealed astonishment. "Could it be … that it was done by a young disciple that the other elders found from outside?"
"Yes."
Luo Chen nodded as two fierce lights shot out from his eyes. "It was a young disciple that Chen Wei and Elder Ke found from outside … They killed Hong Xi as soon as they arrived at the Wood Peak!"
A bright light flashed within the curly bearded old man's eyes, and he went silent for a time.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen looked at the curly bearded man and urged anxiously. "Master, the reason they dared kill Hong Xi was none other than because Hong Xi hadn't officially registered as a disciple of our Five Element Sect, and they firmly believed that the sect wouldn't interfere …"
"Now, those two fellows haven't registered as well, so even if they die, the sect won't pursue the matter! Master, you must take revenge for Hong Xi and kill those two fellows. "
As he finished speaking, Luo Chen's eyes had piercingly cold lights that seemed ready to swallow someone up.
Today, he originally only wanted to provoke Chen Wei and suppress Chen Wei.
But who would have imagined that not only was he unable to successfully suppress Chen Wei, even the companion by his side was killed by someone by Chen Wei's side?
At the instant Hong Xi was killed, he was able to notice the ridiculing gazes of the surrounding Wood Peak disciples looking at him.
It was the first time in his entire life that he'd suffered such great humiliation!
Now, he only wanted those two fellows that caused him to suffer such humiliation to die, and he couldn't be at ease until they died.
"Two?"
The curly bearded old man who'd originally fallen into silence couldn't help but frown when he heard Luo Chen. "You mean that they joined forces to kill Hong Xi?"
"Yes!"
Luo Chen nodded.
He knew clearly in his heart that if it was said that Huang Daniu had killed Hong Xi by himself, then for the sake of the Wood Peak's future, his Master might not do anything to Huang Daniu.
Yet now, it was completely different to say that they'd joined forces to kill Hong Xi.
Before the curly bearded old man could reply, Luo Chen grunted. "If they didn't join forces, then how could they be a match for Hong Xi? Besides that, Chen Wei is to blame for this matter. It was he who stopped me and didn't allow me to save Hong Xi … It was precisely because of this that Hong Xi was killed by those two fellows. "
As he finished speaking, Luo Chen had an expression of grief and indignation, and it seemed as if everything he said was true.
At least, the curly bearded old man believed him.
"Hmph!"
The old man grunted coldly when he finished listening to Luo Chen. "It would be fine if they killed Hong Xi in a one on one situation … With them in the Wood Peak, it wouldn't be affected even if Hong Xi wasn't here!"
"But they actually dared join forces to destroy a prospective Wood Peak disciple that was even more outstanding than them … Two people that are inferior to Hong Xi are completely useless to our Wood Peak."
As he finished speaking, the old man's face was covered in a layer of frost.
"Since they were audacious enough to kill Hong Xi because he was a prospective Wood Peak disciple … Then I can similarly kill them. They're only two tiny prospective Wood Peak disciples."
The curly bearded old man's words were filled with coldness.
A prospective Wood Peak disciple referred to a person that the Wood Peak was willing to accept and was willing to join the Wood Peak, yet hadn't officially registered as a disciple of the Five Element Sect.
A person like this wasn't protected by the Five Element Sect.
"Master, if you want to kill them, then we'll rush over now and kill them before Chen Wei brings them to register as official disciples!"
A trace of complacency flashed within the eyes of Luo Chen who clearly sensed his Master's rage, and he couldn't help but urge.
"Lead the way!"
The curly bearded old man nodded, and he obviously felt that what Luo Chen said made sense.
"Yes!"
Luo Chen flew out excitedly and led the way at the front before plunging down.
As for the curly bearded old man, he followed behind Luo Chen unhurriedly from the beginning until the end, and he descended onto a pavilion at the mountainside of the Wood Peak with Luo Chen.
"It's Luo Chen!"
"His Master, Elder He, is there as well."
…
Instantly, many people stuck their heads out from the nearby pavilions and recognized Luo Chen and the curly bearded old man.
"What've they come here for?"
"They wouldn't have come to get even with those two young disciples that Chen Wei and Elder Ke brought back, right?"
"They probably won't … Perhaps Luo Chen is capable of doing something like this, yet Elder He is surely unable to do it."
"Elder He wholeheartedly serves the Wood Peak, and he surely won't do anything that harms the Wood Peak's interests."
…
Because of the appearance of the curly bearded old man, the Wood Peak disciples in the various pavilions didn't dare approach to watch the show, as they were all afraid of accidentally offending this Elder He.
Elder He's temper was famous in the Wood Peak for being irritable, and there weren't many people that dared take the initiative to offend him.
"They're in there?"
The curly bearded old man, the Five Element Sect's Wood Peak's Elder, He Gang, looked at the three story pavilion beneath his feet as a strand of cold lights flashed within his eyes, and he asked with a low voice.
"Yes, Master."
Luo Chen replied respectfully, and then he urged his voice with Origin Energy to directly flash down towards the three story pavilion.
Even though his voice converged and spread throughout the entire three story pavilion, it wasn't heard by the other Wood Peak disciples that were spectating in the distant pavilions.
"Duan Lingtian, Huang Daniu, come out and receive your death!"
These were Luo Chen's exact words.
