Chapter 105: Once They Come Out, Kill Them Without Mercy!
“Someone, lead these outstanding heroes on their way and escort them to the Immortal Spirit Hall to rest. I warn you, if anyone dares to disrespect these remarkable guests from the mortal realms again, I will not hesitate to execute them!”
The elder of the Qingfeng Sect roared fiercely, his voice echoing with a palpable menace that subdued everyone present.
“Yes, Elder!”
Immediately, several disciples flew over, respectfully inviting the group to rest inside the hall.
Thus, the matter was temporarily settled.
On the plaza, the elders of the various sects lingered, unwilling to disperse.
The Qingfeng Sect elder gazed coldly at the corpses on the ground, his murderous intent almost tangible.
“Elder Mingxin, please control yourself; you must hold back!”
“Brother Mingxin, these mortals from the secular kingdoms are all arrogant and overbearing, of course we see that clearly. Calm your anger—for now. Once the secret realm expedition is over, punishing them as the Qingfeng Sect sees fit will be as simple as a word from you.”
“Old Yang is right. The urgent task is to have them serve our sects loyally. When they emerge from the secret realm in a month, kill whoever you want—we will have no objections.”
Seeing the Qingfeng elder’s fury, the other sect elders tried to soothe him.
The elder known as Mingxin sighed deeply. “The others are one thing, but someone killed Elder Li’s grandson, Li Mu. If he finds out, I fear no one can stop the old man’s wrath!”
Everyone frowned at this. One elder said, “You must lock down the news immediately. He cannot know for now. Wait until those boys enter the secret realm before saying anything.”
“Exactly, we cannot let that old madman disrupt the plan. If he goes on a rampage and kills all those mortals with a single strike, it will be over!”
Elder Mingxin nodded. “Fortunately, Elder Li is in the alchemy chamber. When he comes out tomorrow, I will have someone tell him that Li Mu needs to go on a training trip for a few days. We can stall for time.”
“Good, good. Brother Mingxin, you must handle this well,” someone urged.
“Rest assured, this concerns the fortunes of all our great sects. I understand the gravity of it. But remember, we agreed that once those kids finish their task, the Qingfeng Sect must kill a few to establish our authority. Otherwise, what face will we have left?” Mingxin said, his killing intent boiling over.
“Of course. Any sect in our position would not let this go easily. We understand completely.”
“Yes, those troublemakers must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they’ll think our secluded sects are easy to bully!”
“Especially that Xia Jiuxuan. Even without today’s incident, we planned to kill him. Otherwise, he will be a future disaster.”
“Enough, everyone. Stop talking and go prepare for those foolish kids!”
The elders dispersed.
Two days passed afterward, and Xia Jiuxuan and the others encountered no further trouble.
...
On the third morning, a massive flying demon beast landed on the plaza.
The leaders of the eighteen sects arrivedI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
