Cheng Ling became wary. Cheng Yuan objected to Ling Xiao's body being handed over to him for safekeeping. That was reasonable, but now even Yang Sen and Xiao Yan were opposed to it. Could it be that they had reached some kind of alliance?
That's not good. Now that Liu Qingyan is gone, the sect is left with three supreme elders. Only Xuan Wuxiang is barely on his side, two Nascent Soul monks on the other side, and the mysterious Xiao Xiao Long days.
What is their purpose? In comparison of strength, the sect leader himself is completely inadequate.
His mind was racing and he asked, "What should we do according to the wishes of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Xiao?" As for Cheng Yuan, he ignored them automatically. It's good that I don't cause trouble for you, but I rush forward to yell at you. I'm really tired of you.
Yang Sen and Xiao Yan looked at each other and then at Xiao Changtian. Cheng Ling swept his eyes lightly, paying close attention to the looks between the three of them.
In the end, Xiao Yan's cultivation level was still low and he said: "Sect Master, nephew Ling Xiao died, obviously from a sword wound. Now the only ones who can kill him with swordsmanship are Senior Brother Yang and you, the Sect Master, so what's the point?" Is it easy to find out?”
Cheng Ling sneered and said, "Then what Mrs. Xiao means is that Mr. Yang and I are the killers?"
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Tai Shang Yang and nephew Ling Xiao have no grudges, and they are elders, how could they commit such a murder."
"Then you mean, this sect leader killed Ling Xiao?"
Xiao Yan remained silent and simply gave him an acquiescence.
Cheng Ling felt angry and looked at everyone in the place. Except for Xi Yan and Xuan Zhenzi, everyone looked at him with evil intentions. Even Xuan Wuxiang had a bad look on his face.
He knew that this was the critical moment before him, and these people were finally going to take action against him. If the crisis is not resolved, the injustice of killing Ling Xiao will be pinned on his head.
Smiling calmly, he said to Xuan Wuxiang: "Mrs. Xuan, do you also believe what Mrs. Xiao said?"
Xuan Wuxiang opened his mouth and pondered for a long time before saying: "In terms of swordsmanship, apart from Senior Brother Yang, the sect master is indeed the most skilled. Besides, when we came in, the sect master was the only one here!"
"That's when I was checking Ling Xiao's body. You all saw the sword wounds on his body and thought he died from a sword. But haven't you ever thought about killing him first and then making up for it with a sword?" Woolen cloth?"
Xuan Wuxiang's heart moved. He really didn't believe that Cheng Ling would kill Ling Xiao. There is no need at all. The clan master competition has ended, and there is no enmity between the two. They even cooperated to seal the Dragon King back then. There is no motive, so why kill someone?
At this time, Yang Sen spoke. He said: "Sect Master, although Junior Nephew Ling Xiao is arrogant by nature, now that you have become the Sect Master, why should you be brooding about what happened back then."
Xuan Wuxiang asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Yang, what happened back then? Why didn't I know!"
Yang Sen said: "Junior Brother Xuan, your disciple's actions are indeed not bright enough. When there was a beast wave in the sect, you sent three teams to go, but only a few people came back. Everyone thought it was Junior Nephew Ling Xiao who sealed the dragon. , did you know that he was the one who pretended to take the credit of the sect master?"
"What? What is going on? Senior brother, please clarify!" Xuan Wuxiang asked in surprise.
"Back then, the entire army led by Senior Nephew Ling Xiao was annihilated and was once chased by the Dragon King. Only the sect master set up a large formation and finally sealed the Dragon King. But after returning, Junior Nephew Ling Xiao said that he was the one who sealed the seal. I killed the dragon, and you believed it, isn’t this pretending to take the credit?”
"The sect master didn't argue back then. I thought he was indifferent to fame and fortune. Who knows that it is only today that I
To retaliate against Master Ling Xiao's nephew, his scheming is too deep. "
Cheng Ling's mind flashed. Not many people knew about this matter, only Cheng Yanbing, Chen Song, Chen Mo and a few others. Unexpectedly, Yang Sen also knew about it. Chen Song must have told him.
Unexpectedly, a small incident turned out to be the reason why he killed Ling Xiao today. It was a shame that these people thought of such a motive for the murder. He was certain that Ling Xiao would definitely die at the hands of Xiao Yan and Yang Sen.
But these are all his speculations and there is no solid evidence. And it sounds reasonable. When Ling Xiao, as the eldest brother of the sect, pretended to take the credit of Cheng Ling, he could only lose his teeth and swallow blood.
Today, he took the position of the sect leader and took revenge. The design is indeed seamless, without any flaws.
Xuan Wuxiang looked at Cheng Ling coldly and said, "Even if Xiao'er behaves surly, as long as the sect master explains it, I will naturally punish him severely, so why bother to kill him!"
He was completely convinced that Cheng Ling was Ling Xiao's murderer.
Cheng Ling was secretly shocked. Today's situation was really dangerous. He suddenly remembered that last night he seemed to have vaguely glimpsed the figures of two people. Now that he thought about it carefully, one of those two people must be Yang Sen.
He could no longer remain passive and circled around Ling Xiao's body. Taking the opportunity to come to Xi Yan, he turned his back to Yang Sen and Xiao Yan and said: "Take your trusted disciples with you and find an opportunity to go to the sect master's hall!"
Cheng Ling has been living in the main hall of the clan for the past month, and is protected by formations. Originally, he wanted Xi Yan to go to the Taoist temple, because the formation there was the strongest in the sect, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time, so he had to let them go to the sect master's hall to escape temporarily.
He calmly said to Xuan Wuxiang: "Mr. .”
"Just imagine, if Ling Xiao is killed by our sect leader, why bother? Besides, in terms of physical and foot skills, I may not be able to kill him!"
Just when Cheng Ling and Xuan Wuxiang were explaining Ling Xiao's wound, Xi Yan left quietly. Xuan Zhenzi saw it and followed him!
Xuan Wuxiang glanced at Cheng Ling, squatted down, stretched out his hand and pressed Ling Xiao's chest. At this moment, Xiao Yan behind him slapped Xuan Wuxiang on the back. Yang Sen and Xiao Changtian also suddenly took action and attacked Cheng Ling.
Xuan Wuxiang was caught off guard and felt the sound of wind coming from his back. He could no longer dodge, so he could only move his true energy to his back and bear the blow forcefully.
"puff......!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xuan Wuxiang used his strength to roll, leaving Xiao Yan's palm and looking at him in disbelief.
Xiao Yan said calmly: "Junior Brother Xuan, since you are so sad, go down and accompany your good disciple!" After saying that, he claps his palms, and two sharp palm winds attack Xuan Wuxiang.
Cheng Ling's reaction was a little faster than Xuan Wuxiang's. Yang Sen's sword pointed at his Tanzhong point, and Xiao Changtian grabbed his neck. Both of them seemed to have left some room and did not kill.
This gave him a chance to breathe. The Thunder Cloud Sword was unsheathed and blocked the two attacks. However, after all, their cultivation level was beyond a great level. After blocking, the blood in their chests surged and they quickly retreated out of the door.
Xiao Changtian said: "Capture him, he wants to take the opportunity to leave!"
Yang Sen moved his hand, took out his sword, and struck out with four swords, shrouding Cheng Ling in the sword energy and stagnating his figure. Xiao Changtian also struck out with both hands to block his retreat.
. Cheng Yuan and Liang Fa also attacked him.
Only Song Hanyu didn't know which side to help, so he just protected Xuan Wuxiang. Xuan Wuxiang grabbed a small opening, dodged Xiao Yan's attack, and rushed out of the wing. He also fully understood that these three people must have made an agreement long ago and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him and capture Cheng Ling.
He had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation had just stabilized. He was no match for Xiao Yan. He could only rush out of the wing, hoping to find a chance of survival. He just caught up with Xiao Changtian and Yang Sen heading towards Cheng at the same time. Ling attacks.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, including Liu Qingyan's instructions, Xuan Lingzi's respect, and Cheng Ling's performance this month. He immediately made up his mind to protect Cheng Ling from this place. Only if he is alive can the sect have hope.
Xuan Wuxiang instantly moved in front of Cheng Ling and blocked Yang Sen's sword energy for him. Teleportation is a spell that can only be mastered by Nascent Soul monks. Within a short distance, one can often cross space and reach where one wants to go.
Yang Sen never expected that Xuan Wu Xianghui would block Cheng Ling's sword energy with his own body in order to protect him. Even Cheng Ling didn't expect it, but there was an opportunity in front of him. Yang Sen's attack was blocked, and it was easy to dodge Xiao Changtian's attack behind him.
However, he couldn't leave Xuan Wuxiang alone. Even if he blocked Yang Sen's sword energy for him this time, he couldn't give up and take him away.
He grabbed the Xuanwu Xiang without holding anything back, his true energy circulated in his body, and he used divine thunder and quick movements. In an instant, his whole body was covered with a layer of thunder and lightning power, his speed and defense were increased to the limit, and he rushed towards the sect leader's hall.
Yang Sen and Xiao Changtian didn't expect Cheng Ling's movement speed to be so fast, so they hurriedly caught up. But now, Cheng Ling has perfected his body skills and comprehended the power of the wind and thunder elements. His speed is so fast that even with Xuanwu Xiang, he is not inferior to them.
Yang Sen, Xiao Changtian and Xiao Yan couldn't catch up even with several teleports. They could only strike a few times with palm power in the air, and watched helplessly as Cheng Ling fled all the way and rushed into the sect leader's hall.
Xiyan had already activated the formation in the main hall, and the three of them were unable to enter and were blocked outside the door. However, Cheng Ling was not disturbed at all and rushed in instantly.
As soon as he entered, several mouthfuls of blood spurted out. He was implicated in Xiao Changtian's previous grab and the subsequent palm power of the three people. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and insisted on holding on to his breath, he would have collapsed halfway through.
Now that I have rushed into the sect master's hall, I am finally safe for the time being. However, this is not a long-term solution. With the strength of the three people in the Nascent Soul stage, the formation of the sect master's hall may not be able to stop them.
He put Xuan Wuxiang down and said to Xiyan: "Xiyan, help Master Xuan heal his injuries. I want to upgrade the formation!"
Xi Yan hurriedly took out the elixirs and spiritual fruits and fed them to Xuan Wuxiang. Another palm was slapped on his back to help digest the medicine.
Without stopping, Cheng Ling moved his hands together and instantly laid down dozens of formation pillars and flags in the hall. Gradually, the layers of light masks began to fluctuate, and after a long time, they finally calmed down.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and now that the formation has been upgraded to level six, even if they join forces, they will not be able to break the formation within a year and a half.
He sat cross-legged again, threw a spiritual fruit into his mouth, and began to recover from his injuries.
At this time, in the main hall of the sect leader, Xuan Zhenzi, Zhang Hu, and some disciples close to Cheng Ling were gathered outside to protect them.
Xuan Zhenzi was anxious. After more than a month of peaceful life, he didn't expect that Cheng Ling would have a conflict with several princes. The Wuxiang Sword Sect was afraid that things would change again!
