This time, Lin Shan had broken through to the fourth level of the Grandmaster Realm after coming out of seclusion. He thought that the gap between him and Nangong Xuan had widened.
However, he did not expect that Nangong Xuan, who was only at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm, would be able to tie with him and even show signs of suppressing him.
Although the battle between the two of them was more of a test and not a battle of life and death, Lin Shan could not guarantee that Nangong Xuan did not have a powerful trump card.
This time, Nangong Xuan's combat strength had improved by leaps and bounds, which shocked and angered Lin Shan. It was slightly out of his control.
After all, in the Grandmaster Realm, the gap between each level was huge, and every level was a small bottleneck. Logically speaking, Lin Shan, who was at the fourth level of the Grandmaster Realm, should be able to suppress Nangong Xuan, who was at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm. However, the result was unexpected.
"Master's Junior Lin, thank you for letting me win. In that case, can you calm down for now? Don't worry, I'll definitely punish Ling Xiao and give you an explanation!"
Nangong Xuan smiled and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was a little excited to be able to tie with Lin Shan. It seemed that the Longevity Supreme Scripture was indeed a Supreme-Level technique. He had only comprehended it for a few days, but he had already achieved such amazing results.
"Let him go?
How is that possible? "
However, Lin Shan's answer was beyond Nangong Xuan's expectations.
Lin Shan sneered and said, "Sect Master, I admit that your cultivation is good, but Haoyu is my only grandson. This hatred is irreconcilable. I swear I won't stop until I kill Ling Xiao!
However, for the sect master's sake, I won't kill him now. However, I'll call for an Elder's Adjudication Conference to judge him! "
"Elder's Adjudication Conference?"
Nangong Xuan's expression changed and became a little ugly.
This Elder Adjudication Conference was a matter that concerned the life and death of the Longevity Sect. For example, if an important person in the sect committed a heinous crime, or if there was no way to convict someone of a crime, the Elder Adjudication Conference would be held, and the Elders of the sect would be the judge.
However, the Elder's Adjudication Conference was terrifying. Historically, those who were judged by the Elder's Adjudication Conference all had miserable endings.
Among them were two Sect Leaders, three Holy Sons, and dozens of Sect Elders and True Disciples!
Even if the Sect Leader had committed a grave crime, the Elders Adjudication Council had the right to judge him.
The Sect Leader and Grand Elder had the right to initiate an Elder Ruling Conference.
It could be said that as long as Ling Xiao went to the Elder Adjudication Council, he would definitely die.
"I don't agree!
Junior Master Lin, Ling Xiao did not commit any heinous crimes. Why are you being so overbearing?
Ling Xiao is a rare genius that only appears once every ten thousand years in our Changsen Sect. He is also the hope for our Changsen Sect to rise again. I don't agree to calling for an elder's meeting! "
Nangong Xuan said coldly. His eyes turned sharp.
He never imagined that this Lin Shan actually disregarded the rise and fall of the sect and wholeheartedly wanted to put Ling Xiao to death.
"To entrust the rise of the Longevity Sect to such an ant-like little bastard, what a joke!
You don't have the final say in convening the Elders' Meeting. I advise you not to let Ling Xiao escape. Otherwise, I don't mind killing him with my own hands! "
Lin Shan sneered, flicked his sleeves, and left the valley.
Nangong Xuan's face turned extremely ugly.
This was the tragedy of the Changsen Sect. They only knew how to be unreasonable. As the Sect Leader, he was also very incompetent. The appearance of a Grand Elder who could threaten the Sect Leader was definitely not a good thing.
But what should he do now?
Could he just watch as Ling Xiao was judged by the Elders' Adjudication Council?
With Lin Shan's prestige, he was even more prestigious than Nangong Xuan. If he spoke, most of the Elders would probably support him.
In other words, Ling Xiao would definitely die!
Dang!
Dang!
Dang …
The crisp sound of the bell rang, filling the entire Changsen Mountain.
The sound of the bell was simple and heavy, giving off a lingering charm. It also had an indescribable majesty, causing many of the Changsen Sect's disciples to tremble. Their eyes were filled with shock.
The bell chimed exactly nine times!
"The Changsen Bell rang nine times. Is this the legendary bell that only rings during the Elders' Adjudication Council?
Oh no, looks like something big is going to happen in the sect! "
A disciple cried out in surprise, his eyes filled with shock.
"That's right!
The Changsen Bell rang nine times. According to the sect's records, it only rings during the Elders' Adjudication Council. However, the Elders' Adjudication Council hasn't been held for hundreds of years. Why would it be held today?
Who are they trying to judge? "
"The Holy Son, it must be the Holy Son!"
"That's right. Today, Grand Elder Lin Shan came out of seclusion. Ling Xiao killed Senior Brother Lin. It would be strange if Grand Elder Lin Shan didn't go crazy!
However, Grand Elder Lin Shan didn't kill Ling Xiao directly. Instead, he called for the Elders' Adjudication Council. How strange! "
"What's so strange about it?
Once he enters the Elders' Adjudication Council, Ling Xiao will definitely die. This also shows that Grand Elder Lin Shan isn't taking revenge. This is called killing two birds with one stone! "
"Poor Ling Xiao. I'm afraid he's the one who has been the Holy Son for the shortest time in the history of our Changsen Sect!"
"…"
Many of the disciples were discussing. Some were gloating, some were sympathetic, and some were indifferent. Everyone had different thoughts. However, without exception, they all headed towards the Changsen Plaza at the peak of the Changsen Mountain.
This was a rare occasion in a hundred years. Naturally, many disciples wanted to join in the fun.
At the same time, two uninvited guests appeared in Jinse Pavilion.
"Ling Xiao, get out here!"
A cold voice came from a handsome young man. He had a long sword on his back and was wearing a white robe. However, his face was cold. His cultivation was at the seventh level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
The other person was a pretty girl. She had a graceful figure and jade-like skin. Her cultivation was at the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. However, she held her head high and her face was full of arrogance.
The two of them appeared in the Jinse Pavilion. Looking at the dilapidated pavilion in front of them, a cold sneer appeared in their eyes.
"Who dares to behave so atrociously in the Holy Son's residence?"
A loud shout came. Liu Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong rushed out of Jinse Pavilion. Their faces were full of vigilance.
"Get Ling Xiao out here. Otherwise, if the time is delayed, all of you will die!"
The handsome young man looked at Liu Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong with disdain and sneered.
A mere True Energy Realm cultivator was nothing but an ant in his eyes.
"It's Senior Brother Qi and Senior Sister Lu?"
Liu Chuanxiong's expression changed. He recognized the two people in front of him.
The handsome young man was called Qi Yuan Hua and the pretty girl was called Lv Lishan. They were both direct disciples. Moreover, they had another identity. They were the disciples of Grand Elder Lin Shan.
Normally, the two of them were arrogant people. This time, they were here to capture Ling Xiao and bring him to the Elders' Adjudication Council.
