While everyone in the Sky Sword Sect was talking about Xiao Yan, the other three sects in Green Hunchback Mountain were also discussing what happened in the Desolate Ancient Ruins a few months ago.
Refining God Sect.
In a majestic hall filled with golden light, the Sect Leader of the Refining God Sect, Chen Zhen, was sitting on the main seat. Below him were the various leaders of the Refining God Sect. In the Refining God Sect, other than the Sect Leader Chen Zhen, the elders and deacons sitting below the stage had the greatest authority. Naturally, they were involved in any major matter in the sect.
"Elder Zhao, what do you think about the Desolate Ancient Ruins?"
Chen Zhen sat upright on the main seat as his gaze swept across the elders in the hall. Finally, his gaze landed on a silver-robed elder who was sitting closest to him.
The elder was dressed in a purple robe. His body was upright with his eyes slightly closed. His aura was completely concealed within his body, making it difficult for others to detect him. At a glance, this elder gave off a rather imposing and domineering feeling, causing others to not dare to look at him.
When the elder heard Chen Zhen's words, his slightly closed eyes slowly opened. Soon after, he stood up leisurely. The brows on his old face slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
After a short stubble, the silver-robed elder raised his gaze and looked at Chen Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat. He respectfully cupped his hands and said:
"Sect Leader, this Xiao Yan is unpredictable. We know too little about him and it is difficult for this old man to comment on him. Furthermore, in the Desolate Ancient Ruins, other than those who did not enter the core area of the ruins, only the Zhuo Family's eldest son, Zhuo Lin, and the Bai Family's head, Bai Ying, have returned alive. Therefore, regarding what happened in there, only the two families under the Sky Sword Sect know. Judging from our point of view is really unwise."
When they heard this, the other elders in the hall could not help but frown. The elder's words directly contradicted Chen Zhen's words!
As the Sect Leader, Chen Zhen's words were something that no one in the sect could refute. However, the words of this purple-robed elder were likely going to attract trouble!
However, just when everyone thought that Chen Zhen would be angry because of this, the latter smiled and nodded in agreement under the surprised gazes of everyone present.
"That's right. First Elder's thoughts are my thoughts."
When Chen Zhen's words were spoken, the many elite Dou Di in the hall involuntarily raised their brows. They immediately faced each other and a wave of private conversations were immediately emitted from the hall.... Numerous gazes involuntarily revealed surprise when they looked at this First Elder. At the same time, they were curious and doubtful.
Almost everyone in the western region knew that Chen Zhen's character was proud and aloof. He never placed anyone in his eyes. However, he seemed to have restrained himself a lot in the face of this new First Elder. At the very least, he would not be as fierce and overbearing as he was in the past.
That's right. This purple-robed elder was the First Elder that the Divine Refining Sect had just appointed a couple of months ago. His appointment and even his appearance caused everyone in the Divine Refining Sect to be surprised. This was because no one in the sect had seen this purple-robed elder before he became the First Elder of the Divine Refining Sect. His sudden appointment had stirred up a great commotion within the Divine Refining Sect.
However, this commotion was swiftly suppressed under the personal appearance of the original First Elder. Although everyone had some dissatisfaction in their hearts, after a couple of months of gradually getting used to it, everyone had reluctantly accepted this First Elder.
However, what they didn't expect was that not only was the original Great Elder extremely modest towards this purple-robed old man, even the Sect Leader of their own sect was actually so amiable towards her. This truly caused them to be extremely puzzled in their hearts.
Just who was this newly promoted Great Elder? What was his identity?
Naturally, no one would tell them the answer to this question.
Looking at the whispering crowd below the stage, Chen Zhen, who was seated on the leader's seat, sneered in his heart. The reason why he had raised this question was to let those dissatisfied fellows below the stage understand exactly what kind of position this First Elder held in their Divine Refining Sect!
If those present were still full of complaints about this new First Elder two hours ago, now that Chen Zhen had expressed his stance, these people would probably be too late to curry favor with the purple-robed elder!
"Hmph hmph …"
Chen Zhen laughed mockingly in his heart. After which, he and the purple-robed old man echoed each other and said a bunch of nonsense. After that, they casually dismissed everyone present. Only then did the meeting in the large hall come to an end.
Looking at the final hall door that was heavily shut, Chen Zhen slowly stood up from his seat. With his hands behind his back, he walked down the stage and arrived beside the purple-robed elder.
"Haha, junior brother, from now on, you are the only First Elder of the Divine Refining Sect."
"Haha, I still have to thank senior brother. This bunch of trash, if not for senior brother saying that there was still a use for them, junior brother would have already taken action against them!"
Hearing Chen Zhen's words, the purple-robed elder stood up and respectfully cupped his hands towards Chen Zhen. His tone was cold as he laughed.
"Hmph hmph, although these fellows have formed their own cliques, as long as they remain in the Divine Refining Sect, they will always be our lackeys. Now is not the time to do so."
Chen Zhen narrowed his eyes as his lips curled into a sinister smile.
Naturally, he knew what those people were thinking. However, for the future of the Divine Refining Sect, he had to endure it no matter what. When the time was right, those people would become useless pawns in his hands and be mercilessly crushed by him!
After the two of them chatted for a while, their bodies distorted slightly and turned into illusionary figures. Finally, they completely disappeared from the hall.
On the other side, within the Battle Martial Sect, Wu Jitian had also dismissed everyone in the hall. Arriving in front of the hall door, Wu Jitian raised his head and looked at the sky. His fierce-looking face revealed a solemn expression.
"Hmph, looks like the current Western Region is no longer as peaceful as before. At the very least, it was calm on the surface in the past. It was fine if there was an undercurrent flowing in the interior. Now, a real storm is about to arrive. The sky of the Western Region is about to change."
His mouth softly muttered. Immediately, Wu Jitian's eyes slowly fell. Finally, he looked towards the south. That was where the Xilin Mountain Range was located. At the same time, it was also where the Desolate Ancient Remains had appeared.
Over ten elite Dou Di had died at that place because of one person, a young man wearing a black robe. It was likely that no one in the entire Western Region would be able to do such a thing …
However, the impossible that everyone felt in their hearts had now become reality.
… …
The location of the Withered Leaf Sect.
The somewhat dark large hall appeared incomparably quiet.
There was not a single light within the empty large hall. The withered yellow pillars were like rotten wood. They appeared to be standing in the large hall with great difficulty. Even the air was filled with the smell of something rotting. It was extremely pungent.
The deepest part of the large hall was dim without any light. At a glance, it was dark. If one were to walk in this place, it was likely that even an elite Dou Di would involuntarily feel a shudder in his heart.
Such a sinister place was actually the face of a sect. This was really difficult to imagine. This kind of place appeared to have been abandoned for many years. Perhaps no one had maintained it since it was built, resulting in it falling into such a state. It really caused one to feel sad.
Could such a place really be the meeting hall of a sect? It was likely that no one would believe it.
In this dark, desolate, sorrowful and terrifying place, there was finally a small space that was surrounded by light at the deepest part of the large hall.
The faint cream-white light emitted a gentle glow in the air. It was able to illuminate this small space without causing one to feel that it was glaring.
Within this space, an old man wearing a linen robe with a shady face was seated cross-legged.
At this moment, between the old man's eyebrows, a milky white fluorescent light the size of a rice grain was gradually surging out from a huge ball of light in front of him. Following the old man's thoughts, it gradually converged into the Soul Bead in his mind and became a part of his strength.
A long while later, the old man, whose eyes were tightly shut, finally slowly opened them. A cold expression flashed across the deep part of his eyes where a dark green glow lingered. Immediately, he swiftly stored the milk-white light cluster in front of him into his Storage Ring. Only then did he open his mouth and speak in an indifferent tone.
"Since you have already come, why do you need to watch by the side? Come out and meet me."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, sect leader, why do you need to hide? Don't tell me that I have not seen many small things like you."
A cluster of dense black fog swiftly flashed in front of the old man in a ghost-like manner as the strange laughter slowly sounded within the large hall. In an instant, one could see a strange-looking ink-colored mask within the exposed black fog.
The appearance of the mask appeared to be some kind of Magical Beast. Its expression appeared quite ferocious and terrifying.
This mask was just like the mask that Xiao Yan had obtained from the third hall chief of the Ghost Hall back then. Needless to say, this cluster of black fog was naturally a member of the Ghost Hall.
This old man who was addressed as sect leader was the sect leader of the Withered Leaf Sect, Ye Luotian.
"Hmph, as the saying goes, one does not visit a temple without a reason. I'm afraid that you have not come to find me at such a time just to say such nonsense to me."
Ye Luotian's gaze swept back and forth across the dark space in front of him. Although the large hall was completely dark, everything seemed to be clearly visible in front of his eyes. This dark world was unable to block the eyesight of an elite Dou Di.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, do you really not know what I am here for?"
"Xiao Yan?"
A strange laughter was emitted from the dark darkness. Soon after, Ye Luotian spoke in an indifferent tone.
"Sect leader is indeed as I wish. Tsk tsk tsk tsk …"
"Hmph, it is likely that he is the only person in the entire western region who can cause all of you to care so much about him."
A flattering laughter was emitted from the black fog when Ye Luotian once again opened his mouth with a cold expression. His tone did not leave any room for negotiation. He did not have a good impression of this group of damned things.
"I think that sect leader has already heard about the matter from three months ago."
"You are talking about the matter of Xiao Yan in the Desolate Ancient Remains. Do you really believe that so many Dou Di have died because of him?"
Ye Luotian did not move. His eyes, which were sweeping left and right, paused as if he was a little tired. His eyes were lifeless as he stared at the empty space in front of him. His words contained a trace of disdain.
No matter how active a mere Ban Di was, it was impossible for him to kill an elite Dou Di. Forget about Ye Luotian, even if it was someone else, they would also not believe it.
"That's right. If it was someone else, I would not believe it. However, if it was Xiao Yan … sect leader, even the First Hall Master has been alerted by this matter. We do not wish for the four great sects to act together and fail to deal with a Ban Di. If the upper echelons were to blame us …"
"Don't tell me that a Ban Di like him can really unleash a strength that can kill an elite Dou Di? How is this possible!? "
Ye Luotian's heart was filled with shock. Being able to cause the upper echelons of the Ghost Hall to pay attention to this matter meant that the matter that had occurred in the Desolate Ancient Remains could not be underestimated.
"I have already said that it might be impossible for someone else. However, he is Xiao Yan. We must be careful in everything we do!"
The voice was once again emitted from the dark black fog. Compared to before, it was clearly much more solemn this time around.
"Just who is he to be able to cause all of you to be so moved?"
Ye Luotian frowned. His heart was incomparably curious. This mysterious and strange super faction was actually so concerned about a mere Ban Di. It was likely that anyone would be unable to resist being curious about this.
"Sect leader, I have already told you that there are some things that it is better for you not to know. My Ghost Hall was able to allow you to achieve what you have today and we can similarly ensure that you do not have a tomorrow!"
An icy cold voice was emitted from the black fog, causing Ye Luotian's heart to immediately sink. Dealing with this group of people was like taking a shortcut by stepping on the edge of a knife. He had to go along with them, but he also had to be cautious.
Ye Luotian descended into silence as this thought rose in his heart. The atmosphere in the large hall had also become even more strange.
One month later.
Xilin Mountain Range.
Seated on the mountain peak, Xiao Yan's statue-like body suddenly moved. His body, which had been silent for an entire month, suddenly moved at this moment.
Both of his hands began to move the instant he opened his eyes. A series of complicated seals were formed between his hands. They swiftly condensed into numerous chaotic afterimages in front of Xiao Yan. Until a certain moment, a golden light suddenly surged from the depths of Xiao Yan's eyes.
"Force Elephant Skill! Activate! "
A thunderous cry erupted from Xiao Yan's mouth. In the next instant, Xiao Yan's seated body suddenly moved. His body instantly stood up. At the same time, his feet heavily stomped on the mountain peak that was about to collapse. In an instant, Xiao Yan's body shot out explosively and somersaulted into the sky.
Both of his eyes swiftly locked onto a mountain peak below. In the air, Xiao Yan's right hand suddenly clenched tightly. A creaking sound was emitted from his palm. Soon after, a fist violently smashed towards the mountain peak as his body landed!
Xiao Yan did not rely on any Dou Qi for this punch. However, its might was extremely frightening!
The invisible space in front of Xiao Yan was instantly crushed and collapsed after the punch was thrown. It turned into an endless darkness. An invisible fist imprint swiftly descended from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it heavily smashed against the mountain peak.
"Bang!"
An earth-shaking explosion spread apart. At this very moment, two huge mountains in the mountain range below suddenly collapsed. The surrounding mountain range began to tremble intensely. In an instant, all the birds and beasts fled. The frightening might actually caused the Magical Beasts in the mountain range to be frightened!
Xiao Yan looked at the mountain peak that had collapsed and turned into ruins from the empty sky. His eyes involuntarily revealed a surprised expression. Soon after, a fiery hot emotion surged into his heart, causing a wild joy to surge into his heart.
"Is this the Force Elephant Skill? This strength is indeed extraordinary. Compared to my King Kong Glass Body, this Force Elephant Skill is clearly even stronger! It is indeed worthy of being a Spirit class Dou Technique! "
