Third Elder glared at one of the black-robed men with an unfriendly expression.
The two black-robed men naturally didn't dare to disobey. They knew that the Poison Sect's second and third elders were the true pillars of the clan, powerful existences who kept their word.
"Reporting to the elders, Zhou Shanlin, Zhou Shancai, Changsun Shan, and more than twenty others were killed on their way back. We suspect that Xiao Yang was the culprit, so we've come to demand justice."
Their meaning was clear — they only suspected him.
Just because they suspected him, they decided to kill Xiao Yang so decisively. That was too arbitrary.
Second Elder and Third Elder's expressions turned ugly. They snorted, "You asked for it. Serves you right."
They were furious. They didn't even have evidence and hadn't even figured out the truth. Killing someone like that would be a light punishment.
"You can listen to Xiao Yang's punishment after this. Hmph."
The two elders snorted. With a wave of their hands, their cultivation base power erupted and swept the two of them off the stage.
First Elder slowly explained, "Everyone, the reason why we've gathered everyone here today is because of the deaths of Changsun Shan, Zhou Shanlin, and the others.
"When we received the information, it was this morning. In order to confirm the information, we spent quite a bit of time. Now the truth is out. Zhou Shanlin, Changsun Shan, Zhou Shancai, and more than twenty others were killed half a year ago. The culprit was Yao Ruo Mo, who extracted their lives and souls to raise his cultivation base.
"So we've discussed it. This time, we'll form an evil extermination team and go down the mountain to search for evil cultivators. Once there's news, let us know and we'll wipe out the evil cultivator alliance together."
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt relieved.
So Zhou Shanlin, Changsun Shan, and the others were killed by Yao Ruo Mo of the evil cultivator alliance. Then didn't that mean they'd misunderstood Xiao Yang? Did they owe Xiao Yang an apology?
Yes, before the truth was revealed, they all thought that it was Xiao Yang who did it. They even labeled Xiao Yang as a vicious and murderous person. With the Great Elder's explanation and suggestion, they completely cleared Xiao Yang's name.
The two men in black standing not far away were the most shocked and ashamed.
These two men in black came from the Zhou Clan and the Zhangsun Clan respectively. When they heard that their clan's disciple had been killed, they were filled with righteous indignation and joined hands to take revenge on Xiao Yang.
They were well aware of the Poison Sect's situation.
However, he never thought that the situation would take a turn for the worse. As it turned out, all of this was the doing of Yao Ruo Mo from the Evil Cultivator Alliance. Didn't that mean that he had wrongly accused Xiao Yang before? He even misunderstood Xiao Yang and even wanted to kill Xiao Yang?
The two men in black felt ashamed and self-reproach was written all over their faces. They lowered their heads and didn't even dare to look at Xiao Yang. They were too ashamed.
They owed Xiao Yang an apology, but they didn't even have the courage to face Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang ignored them. He couldn't be bothered with them. Even if he killed this kind of arbitrary and muddle-headed trash, Xiao Yang would only dirty his hands.
Standing on the high platform, the Great Elder swept his gaze over the crowd and slowly said, "Now, everyone, listen to my orders. Anyone whose name is called by me must join the team of exterminators. Of course, the sect won't let you sacrifice yourselves for nothing. You can also make a request of the sect. As long as it's not too demanding, the sect will do its best to help you."
Whoosh.
Everyone was shocked once again. Their hearts were filled with excitement and joy, and they all hoped that they could join the team.
After all, anyone who joined the team could make a request of the sect. This was very rare.
Many of them were itching to join in, their eyes filled with desire and anticipation.
"Xiao Yang." The Great Elder was the first to call out his name.
"Disciple is here." Xiao Yang cupped his fists and replied. However, he was laughing bitterly in his heart, thinking, 'What's going on? It's rare that Yao Ruomo killed Zhou Shanlin and the others and did what I wanted to do. Now I have to go kill Yao Ruomo.'
Of course, this was just a thought. It was purely self-deprecating and ridiculing. Everyone in the Evil Cultivator Alliance had the right to kill the evil cultivators. This was the idea that was instilled in them since they were young.
Xiao Yang blinked and waited quietly. At the same time, he was thinking about what request he should make of the sect. This request couldn't be too excessive. Of course, it couldn't be too disadvantageous for him either. It had to be something that the sect could fulfill.
"Lan Jiaoye, Gu Qianqian." The Great Elder continued to call out names.
"Disciple is here." Lan Jiaoye and Gu Qianqian hurriedly stood out and cupped their fists. Their delicate faces were filled with joy and excitement. They knew that this time, they could move together with Xiao Yang again.
Ever since they followed Xiao Yang into the Poisonous Insect Valley, one of the ten great secret realms of the sect, their cultivation had increased by a level. When they returned, the Great Elder was shocked. He wasn't stingy with his praise for the two girls. This made the two girls feel extremely satisfied. In the end, they told the Great Elder about Xiao Yang's help. As a result, the Great Elder was even more pleased with Xiao Yang.
"Li Qinghe, Chen Zhifu, Gu Shanhe, Gu Shanqing, Bu Tianlang, Liu Quan, Fang Yuhan …"
The Great Elder called out many names in succession. There were more than ten people in total.
"Disciple is here."
"Disciple is here."
One after another, they stood out and stood side by side with Xiao Yang.
Most of them knew Xiao Yang. They even knew about Xiao Yang's abilities. This time, being able to team up with Xiao Yang made them extremely happy. They couldn't wait to carry out the mission.
The Great Elder was very satisfied with their performance. He said loudly, "Listen up, you are the vanguard team. You are only responsible for finding traces of evil cultivators. Once you find them, immediately report to the sect. The sect will naturally send experts to kill them. Your vanguard team has a heavy responsibility. You will be working on the front line. Be careful and come back alive. If you encounter any danger that you can't deal with, immediately retreat. Don't be greedy, and don't linger in battle."
The Evil Cultivator Alliance was a terrifying alliance. There were many experts on their side. What they revealed now was only the tip of the iceberg. Relying on a vanguard team of more than ten people was not enough to shake the Evil Cultivator Alliance. Therefore, they only needed to scout and pass on information. There was no need for them to personally go into battle.
"Disciple understands."
They shouted one by one with a serious and serious expression.
"En, very good. I didn't misjudge you."
The Great Elder finally revealed a trace of a smile. His eyes were filled with gratification. He continued, "Alright, you all pack up and gather at the Pine Hall. Then, you can set off."
Everyone left.
Everyone left one after another.
"Cousin."
"Brother Xiao Yang, we can team up again."
