Ling Xiao quietly looked at proud Hei Suo. He had no intention to stop the other party in the slightest.
Just when that idiot stepped within five meters of the manor, his complexion had a huge change, and a terrifying aura made him kneel on the spot. In addition, the plague poison spread through his body, causing him to wail miserably. He had to sit cross-legged on the ground to expel the poison.
“Alas, I tried to stop everyone earlier, but it seems Senior Brother Hei Suo thinks that he has lived long enough and doesn’t care about this junior brother’s reminder.”
Ling Xiao sighed and gloated at Hei Suo’s misery.
Originally, he had no plan to deal with Hei Suo here. But who would have thought that this fellow would seek death like this? So, what else could he do?
“Humph!”
Elder Jin, one of the Supreme Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, snorted coldly upon seeing the scene and directly jumped into the Plague Turn Bone Formation. This formation was indeed powerless against him, but if he wanted to save Hei Suo, then it wouldn’t be so easy.
Not only that, but the longer he remained within the formation, the uglier his expression became. The plague poison was like bone maggots. He couldn’t get rid of it no matter what he did.
Although he could easily resist it with his powerful true essence, it was basically impossible if he wanted to resolve it.
“Good job. This time, you made the Law Enforcement Hall’s Supreme Elder lose face.”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy secretly transmitted her voice to Ling Xiao.
“This disciple is truly at a loss. This disciple set up this formation purely to stop the disciples of the other sect. Who would have thought that these two wouldn’t listen to others?”
Ling Xiao made a wry smile and also sent the voice transmission.
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy was secretly happy. On that day, the five Supreme Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall had made a move to deal with her and Hall Master Yang Danlin. Because of that, they were also injured. Therefore, she was still very upset until now.
How can she not be happy to see this Elder Jin suffering a setback today?
“I request Supreme Elder to withdraw first, then everyone can follow this disciple to enter the manor. I originally set up this formation to stop the disciples of other sects from trespassing into the manor.”
Ling Xiao said, but in his heart, he thought differently, you are suffering now because you didn’t take me, an outer disciple, seriously, this is what you deserved!
However, he didn’t want to offend this Law Enforcement Elder now, therefore, he jumped into the formation and walked through the formation in a special pattern. The others followed him into the manor, and sure enough, nothing happened.
Elder Jin’s old face became bright red, but he was a proud person. He naturally wouldn’t bicker with Ling Xiao, this outer disciple.
Even if he wanted to bicker, he would secretly make things hard for Ling Xiao. He would never make a move in open.
Hei Suo was also rescued by Meng Yuan, but the plague poison wasn’t resolved.
And Ling Xiao would never help him get rid of the poison. If he died, then that was what he deserved.
However, it was very unlikely for Hei Suo to die here. There were four Inner Elders here. Just purely relying on true essence, it was enough to forcibly expel the plague poison from Hei Suo’s body.
In the end, Elder Jin saved Hei Suo.
It could be seen that this Elder Jin had a very close relationship with Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
“Little fellow, you have to be careful. Elder Jin is the Master of Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy, and Hei Suo is his grand disciple.”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy secretly used voice transmission to tell Ling Xiao about the situation.
Ling Xiao inwardly thought no wonder, no wonder the five Supreme Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall would be so partial. After all this time, the Law Enforcement Hall’s Head, Elder Jin, was actually Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy’s Master.
Wasn’t this the legendary nest of snakes and mice?
The four Inner Elders led all elite inner disciples and searched the entire manor. They even searched the entire Green Valley but found nothing useful.
Not even the treasure trove of the Plague Demon King completely emptied by Ling Xiao was found.
In fact, even if they had found it, it would be useless.
Among these people, there was no Formation Expert. It would be basically impossible to open that treasure trove.
Therefore, at least for a while, no one would know that Ling Xiao had already taken all the treasures of the Plague Demon King.
However, as the person who completed the task, Ling Xiao was still interrogated like a prisoner.
After all, Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui had died.
Shangguan Lei had said that he had fainted and knew nothing.
The one who knew the entire matter was just Ling Xiao alone.
It was quite normal that he was interrogated.
Therefore, Ling Xiao had already thought of a countermeasure and how he should answer.
“Ling Xiao, how do you explain the death of Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui?”
Elder Jin asked. He looked very strict.
Ling Xiao replied in earnest: “Reporting to Elder Jin, this disciple was just concerned with completing the task. I didn’t pay attention to how Senior Brother Wan Yanjun and Senior Brother Chen Zui died. Only after fighting off the Plague Demon King with great difficulty, I found fainted Senior Brother Shangguan Lei, and I saved him.”
“A bunch of nonsense! Didn’t you kill Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui, then colluded with that Plague Demon King?”
Before Elder Jin said anything, Meng Yuan, who was beside him, roared.
“What are you? When the Supreme Elder is asking questions, is it your turn to interrupt?”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy angrily rebuked Meng Yuan: “Could it be that your Master taught you like that? Treating a person who rendered great service to the sect as a prisoner?”
Meng Yuan’s face turned red, then white, but he didn’t dare to refute.
He didn’t care about Ling Xiao, but he didn’t dare to offend Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy.
This woman was a lunatic. Even his master was injured by her, would she leave her alone?
“Okay, Vast Wintry, he is just concerned about fellow disciples.”
Elder Jin waved his hand, sheltering Meng Yuan from Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy’s aura pressure.
“Elder Jin, do you mean to say that Ling Xiao is not a disciple of the Moonlight Sect? While coming here, this seat already heard that he was almost killed by the disciples of the Beast King Palace in order to protect this manor. You cannot favor one and be prejudiced against the other like this!”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy coldly looked at Elder Jin and said.
“Cough, cough, Vast Wintry, you can rest assured, we just want to make things clear. We will never treat a good person unjustly, and we will also never let a villain off. After all, this matter involves the True Demon Empire. We must be very cautious.”
Elder Tu, another elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, coughed and said.
“Humph, this matter better be fair. Otherwise, along with the last incident, this seat will go to look for the Sect Master to ask for justice!”
Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Elder Jin also didn’t want an internal conflict. Therefore, he looked at Ling Xiao and asked: “Ling Xiao, you don’t need to be afraid. It’s enough as long as you answer this seat’s few questions.”
“Supreme Elder, please ask, this disciple will definitely answer without reserve!”
Ling Xiao respectfully said.
“Good, let me ask you, you are just a trivial outer disciple, moreover, your cultivation base is just Half Great Master, but why were you able to complete the task of the Green Valley whereas Wan Yanjun and others failed? In addition, you don’t have any signs of injuries.”
Elder Jin’s tone got heavier and heavier. There was also a hint of pressure: “Furthermore, what’s with that formation outside the manor? That should be the Plague Turn Bone Formation which the Plague Demon King should be good at, right? How were you able to arrange it?”
Listening to his words, anyone could see that this old fellow was violently criticizing Ling Xiao. How did this resemble talking to a person who rendered great service?
