After all, he had always thought that the Sword Sect would be the least likely to surrender.
Seeing Lin Xiao's astonished expression, Xu Tianchong smiled and said, "You didn't expect the Sword Sect to surrender either, right? Actually, I didn't expect it either, but it's the truth. Perhaps it's because the one who dealt with the Sword Sect was the strongest of the Asura Eight Kings, the Dog King!"
This …
Hearing Xu Tianchong's words, Lin Xiao still couldn't understand.
Lin Xiao had heard the Poison Lord say that the Dog King was very strong. However, Lin Xiao also knew that the Sword Sect's Sword God was also very strong. He was an expert at the peak of the Half-step Saint Realm and might not be weaker than the Dog King. Therefore, Lin Xiao still couldn't understand the Sword Sect's decision. He couldn't help but ask, "The Dog King defeated the Sword God?"
"I don't know about that. I only know that the two of them met."
Xu Tianchong shook his head and replied, "As for whether they fought or not, I don't know. I only know that half a day after the two of them met, the Sword Sect chose to surrender to the Asura Sect. The Sword God replaced the Saber King who died before and became the new king of the Asura Eight Kings, the Sword King."
Sword King!?
Lin Xiao didn't know what to say now.
Not only did the Sword Sect surrender to the Asura Sect, but the Sword God also joined the Asura Sect and became one of the new kings of the Asura Sect. This really surprised Lin Xiao.
No matter what, the Sword God was a lofty existence in the Sword Sect. No matter how strong the Asura Sect was, the Asura Eight Kings were only the subordinates of the Asura Sect's leader.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What they do is their business. It has nothing to do with us."
Xu Tianchong glanced at Lin Xiao and asked slowly, "By the way, you just said that you were busy with something during this period of time. What was so important that you didn't have time to inquire about other places?"
Xu Tianchong had been curious about this for a long time.
Hearing this question, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's related to the Equipment Sect. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the details."
"Then I won't ask anymore."
Hearing this, Xu Tianchong chuckled and didn't ask further.
For Xu Tianchong, he had already decided not to participate in these matters. Naturally, he would not force Lin Xiao to say it.
Lin Xiao did not stay in Meng Mountains for too long. After all, the situation in the Central Region was constantly changing, and Lin Xiao did not feel at ease staying here for too long.
However, when Lin Xiao was about to leave, Xu Qingruo, who was going to stay in Meng Mountains to recuperate, proposed to go with him.
Originally, Lin Xiao would definitely persuade Xu Qingruo not to take the risk with him. But now, he couldn't open his mouth because he had Ye Han by his side. If he brought Ye Han along and refused to bring Xu Qingruo along, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
Therefore, Lin Xiao had no choice but to leave with Xu Qingruo and return to the Central State.
…
At the same time, in a manor on the outskirts of a prefectural city in Zhongzhou.
The Tower Master of the Myriad Treasure Tower, Gong Sun Liang, and his daughter, Gong Sun Bao, were standing respectfully in front of a middle-aged man.
Gong Sun Liang looked ashamed and said to the middle-aged man, "Sect Master, I was incompetent. I couldn't protect the Myriad Treasure Tower and let it be destroyed by the Shura Sect. Even Elder Wan Ping was killed by the Insect King!"
"It's not your fault."
Hearing Gong Sun Liang's words, the middle-aged man also turned around and said slowly, "I didn't think it through and didn't help in time. Otherwise, the Shura Sect wouldn't have taken care of the ten sects."
At this point, some regret appeared on the middle-aged man's face. It was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the current situation.
"Sect Master …"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Gong Sun Liang didn't know what to say.
Looking into the distance, the middle-aged man smiled and said slowly, "We've always wanted to take down the ten sects of the Central Region, but we didn't expect the Shura Sect to beat us to it. This has made our Murong clan very passive. It looks like it's time for us to make a move!"
This middle-aged man was none other than Murong Ke, the Sect Master of the Murong clan, one of the three hidden sects of the Central Region.
"Sect Master, what should we do next?"
Hearing Murong Ke's words, Gong Sun Liang asked curiously.
"Of course, we'll teach the Shura Sect a lesson!
To be honest, the Murong family and the Shura Sect have always been at odds with each other. However, due to the Tool Refining Sect's power, we've only been fighting on a small scale. We've never really gone all out because we don't want the Tool Refining Sect to benefit from our fight! "
After a moment of silence, Murong Ke said slowly, "But this time, the Shura Sect has gone a little overboard. If we don't do anything, won't they be riding on our heads?
This time, although we won't start an all-out war with the Shura Sect, we'll definitely teach them a lesson. "
"What lesson?"
Gong Sun Liang looked at Murong Ke and asked.
"It's time for the Insect King to die!"
At this moment, Murong Ke smiled gently. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said coldly, "Let the Shura Sect know that the Murong clan is not to be trifled with!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Hearing that Murong Ke was going to deal with the Insect King personally, Gong Sun Liang felt a little grateful.
After all, the Insect King had destroyed the Wanbao Tower. To him, the Insect King was also his enemy. Killing him could be considered as helping the Wanbao Tower vent their anger.
But at this moment, the Insect King had no idea that he had become the prey. At this moment, he was still tracking the whereabouts of the Wanbao Tower's remaining members, wanting to eliminate them completely.
After all, the Wanbao Tower's leader and his daughter had escaped. The Insect King was still very dissatisfied with this result.
In his opinion, his strength was enough to kill the three Half-saint experts of the Wanbao Tower. But now, he had only killed one. Compared to the other kings, this result was not very good.
"Insect King, why are you so unhappy?
Are you looking for the Wanbao Tower's people? "
Just as the Insect King was tracking the whereabouts of the Wanbao Tower's remaining members, a figure appeared in front of him. Behind him were Gong Sun Liang and Gong Sun Bao.
"Murong Ke!"
Seeing Murong Ke, the Insect King's eyes flashed with surprise. At the same time, he saw Gong Sun Liang and Gong Sun Bao. He immediately reacted and said in disbelief, "Is the Wanbao Tower a force of the Murong clan?"
"The Beast Gate has surrendered to the Shura Sect. Why can't the Wanbao Tower belong to the Murong clan?"
Murong Ke sneered and looked at the Insect King.
Looking at Murong Ke's cold eyes, the Insect King's body trembled. He thought of something and quickly looked at Murong Ke, "Sect Master Murong, are you going to attack me?
Don't forget the rules of our two sects. You can fight, but you can't involve a Half-saint expert. Aren't you afraid of angering our Sect Master? "
Murong Ke's intention was obvious when he appeared with Gong Sun Liang and Gong Sun Bao.
