One had to know that no matter what, Xu Tianchong was the Sect Master of a sect, while Song Wei and Nie Qing were only Vice Sect Masters. In terms of strength, they were far behind Xu Tianchong. If it was before, how would they dare to speak to Xu Tianchong with such an attitude!?
But now, whether it was Song Wei or Nie Qing, when facing Xu Tianchong, they didn't have the slightest respect. They didn't even speak politely and directly questioned him.
Hearing this, the old man standing next to Xu Tianchong said angrily, "Song Wei, Nie Qing, what do you two mean? Is this your attitude towards our Sect Master?"
"Xu Bing, this is a problem between us and Sect Master Xu. What qualifications do you have to speak here?"
Glancing coldly at the old man, Song Wei's tone was contemptuous and disdainful.
"Enough!"
At this time, Xu Tianchong couldn't hold it in anymore. He looked at Song Wei and snorted coldly.
However, Song Wei's face didn't have the slightest bit of timidity. He just smiled and continued, "Sect Master Xu, don't be angry. Let's talk about our matter."
"We have nothing to talk about. I've already said everything that needs to be said!
Lin Xiao has already left and is no longer in Qingzhou City. If you want me to hand him over, I can't! "
Xu Tianchong glared at Song Wei and said sternly, "What's more, even if Lin Xiao is still here, what evidence do you have to prove that he killed someone?!
Without evidence, it's impossible for me to hand him over! "
For Xu Tianchong, this was his bottom line.
If the other party had enough evidence to prove that the person was indeed killed by Lin Xiao, then he might feel sorry and even consider how to deal with this matter. But now, there was no evidence and they wanted him to hand him over?
Impossible!
"Evidence?
Hahahaha … "
When Song Wei heard this, he laughed out loud and said fearlessly, "Sect Leader Xu, we don't need evidence. Our Sect Leader said it was his fault, so it was his fault. Even if it wasn't him, he had offended our Holy Son before. We have to avenge our Holy Son!"
"Song Wei, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianchong's face turned completely gloomy. He said coldly, "Based on your current attitude, you don't want the three outer sects to continue cooperating?"
"Sect Master Xu, you can't say that."
At this moment, Nie Qing took a step forward and smiled, "Our Sea Sect shares the same opinion as Glory Sect. To be precise, we should be two against one right now. The one who is truly disobedient is you."
"You …"
Compared to Song Wei, Xu Tianchong was more angry with Nie Qing and Hai Zong's attitude.
He had never imagined that the Azure Sect and the Neptune Sect would choose to stand on the side of the Sage Sect and push the Azure Sect into the abyss!
"Sect Leader Xu, I'll get straight to the point. We're here to tell you that our Sect Leader has given you ten days to hand over Lin Xiao!"
Song Wei looked at Xu Tianchong coldly and said bluntly, "If you can't hand it over, you'll have to cede one-third of the territory of Qingzhou and merge it with Divine Prefecture. Otherwise, our Sect Master will have to take it himself."
"You!"
Looking at Song Wei's face, Xu Tianchong was so angry that his face changed. He snapped, "Song Wei, your Sage Sect is really going too far!"
"That's all I've said. Sect Master Xu, it's your choice!
I'll leave first. See you in ten days. "Song Wei said proudly. Then, he left with Nie Qing.
"Damn it!"
After Song Wei and Nie Qing left, Xu Tianchong finally exploded. Looking at the direction they left, he roared, "Sage Sect!
Hai Zong!
You've gone too far! "
At this moment, Xu Qingruo, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, ran in directly. She took Xu Tianchong's hand and comforted him, "Dad, you've been wronged."
Hearing this, Xu Tianchong sighed and looked at Xu Qingruo lovingly. He said helplessly, "Qingruo, dad is old. I don't have the drive I had when I was young. If they dared to talk to me like this in the past, I would have killed them on the spot. But now, I have too many things to consider!"
"Dad, it's not your fault."
Gently shaking her head, Xu Qingruo said slowly, "I know that everything you've done is for Qing Zong. With your strength, it's easy to kill them. But you know that once you kill them, it will inevitably lead to the revenge of Sage Sect and Hai Zong. At that time, Qing Zong will be in a difficult situation."
"It's good that you understand. With our current strength, if we really go to war, there's no way we can deal with the pincer attack of Sage Sect and Hai Zong. If our Heavenly Chime Bell was still in good condition, then we might have a chance. But now …"
Xu Tianchong sighed and said helplessly, "The Heavenly Chime Bell is damaged. We're definitely no match for them. As for Lin Xiao, it may take another year or so for him to come over!"
Back then, Lin Xiao gave him two choices. Either he let Lin Xiao leave with the Heavenly Chime Bell, or after two years, Lin Xiao would let Qing Zong use the Spring of Life for a period of time.
At that time, Xu Tianchong coveted the Spring of Life and chose to repair the Heavenly Chime Bell two years later. At that time, although he had a premonition that the current situation of the mainland was unstable and that something might happen, he never expected that Qing Zong would face such a crisis in just a few months.
And it was the Hai Zong and Sage Sect of the three outer sect alliances that were making things difficult for him!
"Dad …"
Xu Qingruo opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
On one side was Lin Xiao, and on the other side was Xu Tianchong. Xu Qingruo didn't know what to do. She believed that Lin Xiao had never done such a thing. But in the current situation, regardless of whether Lin Xiao had done it or not, Hai Zong and Sage Sect wouldn't let Lin Xiao off easily.
…
At the same time, Lin Xiao had left Purple Wind Mountain and was rushing towards Qingzhou City.
"Longfei, your speed seems to have slowed down!"
Lin Xiao didn't know if he was too worried about Xu Qingruo, but he felt that Longfei's speed was a little slow. He couldn't help but say, "It seems that I can't always let you follow me. I have to let you cultivate well and break through to the Almighty Immortal Realm as soon as possible."
"This is not Your Majesty's responsibility!"
After hearing this, Longfei said with a little embarrassment, "My cultivation speed is slow. It's my own talent problem. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty."
Longfei was very grateful. Although he had done a lot for Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao had also treated him well. As long as Longfei needed all kinds of precious elixirs and immortal elixirs, Lin Xiao wouldn't be stingy at all.
"You don't have to say that. I know what I'm doing."
Lin Xiao glanced at Longfei and said, "I've wasted too much of your time. After this matter is over, I'll give you some time to cultivate in seclusion. You're not allowed to come out until you reach the Almighty Immortal Realm!"
