Was this old woman someone he could afford to provoke?
Almost all of the Poison Sect's upper echelons were gathered in Pine Hall. Because of what had happened, they were all worried and their hearts were heavy.
How could they be willing to let the old woman go? But the sect master's wife was still a hostage in the Celestial Sect, so they had no other choice.
If Xiao Yang and Scarlet Flame destroyed the old woman's clone, that would be fine. But if she escaped by a fluke, that would be a big problem.
"Everyone, tell me, where did that little brat go? Why is he so restless? Seriously! "
The Poison Sect Master yelled irritably.
He didn't dare believe that Xiao Yang had gone to find the old woman. He'd rather it didn't happen.
Seeing the sect master's anxious expression, Elder Fo could only console him. "Perhaps they went to the vegetarian restaurant to eat. Why don't we try contacting them and ask for their location?"
They had martial skills and magic arts that could be used to send messages.
The Sword Pavilion Master and the others also spoke up to console him, but even they were suspicious of their own excuses.
By now, Xiao Yang and Scarlet Flame had returned to the Poison Sect's gates.
A Poison Sect disciple was standing guard at the entrance. When he saw Xiao Yang and Scarlet Flame return, his eyes lit up and his expression grew excited. He hurried forward and reported, "Senior brother, vice sect master, you're finally back. The entire sect is looking for you. The sect master and elders are worried to death. Hurry and go see them."
Xiao Yang nodded and exchanged a glance with Scarlet Flame. "We'll go right now."
The two of them unleashed their cultivation and sped towards Pine Hall.
Once they reached Pine Hall, they entered the main hall without a hitch.
When the Poison Sect's upper echelons saw the two of them, they looked like they'd seen a ghost. Just a moment ago, they'd been discussing where they'd gone and what they'd done. Every one of them had been worried sick.
"Traitorous disciple, you're finally back. Hurry and tell us where you went!"
The Poison Sect Master was a little angry. He'd always put on a gentle and benevolent face, but this was the first time he was angry at Xiao Yang. He was worried that Xiao Yang would mess around and offend the Sky Sect. Not only would the sect master's wife be in danger, but the entire Poison Sect would be in danger as well.
Right now, the Poison Sect was still accumulating resources and couldn't take any losses. Why couldn't this disciple understand this? It really was worrying.
Xiao Yang also knew that this matter had annoyed the Sect Master, so he immediately cupped his fists and frankly explained, "Master, Master Chi Yan and I went to destroy the old woman's doppelganger, but we didn't see Wuhua. Wuhua ran away. Don't worry, I know the severity of this matter. We were all in disguise. The old woman was killed, but the original body definitely doesn't know who did it."
"What?"
"I'll go."
"This guy is incredible."
"This kid is amazing."
As Xiao Yang's voice rang out, sounds of gasps could be heard in the hall. Following that, gasps of astonishment could be heard.
Although they'd guessed that Xiao Yang had gone to find the old woman for revenge, they were still shocked when they heard it for themselves.
One had to know that among the people present, only the Sect Master and Chi Yan had the qualifications to fight with the old woman. This Xiao Yang actually dared to follow, it was clear to see his courage and heart that would haggle over every little detail.
Hmph.
The Poison Sect Master harrumphed coldly, his expression icy.
He felt that Xiao Yang's public announcement was foolish. It was hard to guarantee that there weren't any spies from the Sky Sect here.
"Don't do it again."
He said coldly, then flicked his sleeves and left.
There wasn't much to say. It was already good enough that he didn't punish Xiao Yang for his private behavior. How could he reward him? If someone leaked the news, the danger the Sect Master's wife would face would greatly increase.
Of course, there was no need to tell Xiao Yang this. He was confident that Xiao Yang would understand in the future.
Many of the Poison Sect's higher-ups weren't sure of the Sect Master's stance, so they didn't express their opinions. They left the hall one after another, including Chi Yan.
Xiao Yang blinked as if he was deep in thought.
Although it was clear that the meeting would bring danger, if he didn't say it out loud, how would he know whether or not there were spies? How would he know who the spies were?
There were two sides to every coin. It all depended on how one looked at it.
Xiao Yang had long gotten over this kind of thing.
After walking out of the hall, he saw Gu Qianqian and Lan Jiaoye. Further away were Huo Han, Bu Tianlang, Liu Quan, Gu Shanhe, Li Qinghe, Chen Zhifu, and the others.
They must've heard the news as well and were probably here to comfort him.
Xiao Yang smiled. "Why are you all here?"
"We're here to see you. We haven't seen each other since we came to the Poison Sect. Let's go, how about a vegetarian meal?"
Lan Jiaoye said excitedly, her face full of smiles.
She and Gu Qianqian were the clearest about Wuhua and the vice pavilion head's betrayal. When they left the vegetarian meal, the two of them were still dissatisfied with Xiao Yang, complaining that Xiao Yang had let Wuhua and the vice pavilion head go.
But when they found out what happened later, they slowly felt guilty and blamed themselves. They regretted suspecting Xiao Yang.
They even felt that Xiao Yang had instigated Chi Yan to kill the old woman to prove his innocence and prove that he also wanted to kill the traitor.
As a result, Xiao Yang was reprimanded by the Sect Master.
They felt very guilty and blamed themselves.
Of course, they wouldn't show their negative emotions on their faces. Xiao Yang was probably unhappy right now, so there was no need to add to Xiao Yang's worries.
Li Qinghe also smiled. "I've heard that the vegetarian meal is good, but I never had the chance. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity?"
Han Qianqian, Liu Quan, Chen Zhifu, Gu Shanhe, and the others all made their suggestions.
Xiao Yang smiled awkwardly and took a deep breath. He muttered, "You guys go. Don't worry, just use my name. The vegetarian meal's head will know what to do. I still have some things to take care of, so I won't be going."
He didn't have much of an appetite right now and was feeling a little irritable and depressed. Of course, he understood his friends' intentions and didn't want to refuse.
"Go."
Xiao Yang called out when he saw that they had no intention of leaving. He used his movement technique and left first.
Back at the Sect Master's Peak, Xiao Yang glanced at his residence. The Sect Master was inside, but he hesitated, unsure of how to explain himself.
He sighed and decided not to look for the Sect Master. Instead, he sat cross-legged outside, adjusted his state of mind, and began to cultivate.
There were many things he needed to do right now. He still hadn't fulfilled his challenge with the Fang Family's ancestor, Thirteen. Thirteen was a seventh rank Martial Ancestor, so he had to quickly raise his cultivation.
He also needed to cultivate the Greater Teleportation Art. Only by reaching the third level would he be able to help the Sect Master. Otherwise, the Sect Master's wife would be a sore point for the Poison Sect.
