Under the suppression of the five Saint level masters, no matter how much the Earth Flaming Tiger struggled, it was still smashed to the ground, unable to move.
It suffered another round of attacks from Huo Qianzhong, but fortunately, Huo Qianzhong did not want its life, allowing it to live.
It roared unwillingly, and its eyes were filled with incomparable anger.
Huo Qianzhong sighed, "I'll suppress you for a hundred years, then let you go!"
"You despicable, cunning human, my clan's Beast King will never let you go … Never!" The Earth Flaming Tiger roared.
Now that something like this had happened, there was nothing it could do. It could only roar in indignation.
One of the Saints gave a suggestion, "Junior Brother, why don't we subdue it and make it the Sect Guarding Spirit Beast of our Medicine School!"
Huo Qianzhong immediately rejected, "No, this could be a guardian beast that Brother Demonic Emperor subdued for Martial Nephew Ling. Now that Martial Nephew Ling is most likely dead, we can't do this anymore!"
Huo Qianzhong was already feeling extremely guilty, if they subdued the Earth Flaming Tiger, then they would be forsaking their old friendship.
The four Saints could hear Huo Qianzhong's firm stance, so they didn't force it.
Huo Qianzhong then went outside and summoned Huo Tang.
Huo Tang respectfully asked, "What orders does Old Sect Master have?"
"How many people know that Ling Xiao came to Medicine Sect?" Huo Qianzhong asked.
Huo Tang shook his head, "I don't know, we'll have to ask Xun Zheng."
Huo Qianzhong frowned, "Who is Xun Zheng?"
"Temporarily the Medicine Capital's city lord," Huo Tang replied.
"That's good. Go and announce that Xun Zheng will return to the sect as an Elder. Don't send an Elder to guard the capital city. If anyone asks about Xun Zheng's whereabouts, just say that he's gone missing. Don't reveal anything about Ling Xiao. Just say that you don't know anything. Do you understand?" Huo Qianzhong said solemnly.
Huo Tang's eyes twitched, and he immediately bowed, "Yes, Old Sect Master, I know what to do!"
He suspected that something had happened to Ling Xiao, but he didn't dare to ask. After all, an existence like the Old Sect Master wasn't someone he could casually guess or question.
… …
Three months was enough for a lot of things to be forgotten.
Few people talked about Ling Xiao becoming the champion of the Elixir Gathering anymore. People from all the clans had already left.
The Medicine Capital was still operating as usual, and nothing major had happened.
What was worth mentioning was that the Alchemy Capital's city lord had been replaced. This matter caused quite a bit of discussion.
However, this matter quickly died down.
After all, everyone thought that those were just some transfers from the upper echelons of the Medicine Sect. There was nothing new about it.
The only ones who felt that something was amiss were Ye Yunfeng, Liu Qun, Li Xue, and her two disciples, Bing Ruoshui and Yao Qingmin.
Ling Yun had had been Ling Xiao for three months, and the Sect master of the Sect of the Sect master of the Sect.
They hadn't seen Ling Xiao for three months, and their mood had become terrible.
"I can't wait any longer. I must find Xiaoxiao and bring him back!" Bing Ruoshui said loudly in a domineering tone. Her delicate face became incomparably indifferent.
She hadn't been together with Ling Xiao for a long time, and now that they were separated, she was worried that Ling Xiao had been framed by the Medicine Sect.
"Sister-in-law, I understand your feelings, but where are we going to find Boss?
Now that the City Lord has changed, every time we go, they say that they don't know about this, and the original City Lord's whereabouts are also unknown, but I believe that Boss will definitely be fine. Boss is powerful, even an Emperor Stage expert can't do anything to him, and he has a super expert protecting him. I think he must be tied up by something, and can't come back to find us! "Ye Yunfeng comforted.
How could he not be anxious in his heart? However, they were facing a colossus like the Medicine Sect, so they definitely wouldn't die. Moreover, he also felt that Ling Xiao should be fine.
With an eighth step bodyguard by his side, who else could hurt his boss?
"But waiting like this isn't a solution," Li Xue said indifferently.
Yao Qingmin also said loudly, "It must have something to do with the Medicine Sect. That Huo Chen was beaten into a pig's head by the Young Master, so he might have found someone to deal with the Young Master."
Ye Yunfeng frowned and looked at Liu Qun, "Uncle Liu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Liu Qun was the strongest among them, and he was also the most experienced. Ye Yunfeng had his reasons for asking him this question.
Liu Qun pondered for a moment, then said, "Did the Young Master say anything before he left or before he left?"
"It happened too suddenly, and the Boss didn't say anything to me," Ye Yunfeng said as he looked at Bing Ruoshui.
Bing Ruoshui was Ling Xiao's woman, so could it be that Ling Xiao had said something to her before?
Bing Ruoshui shook her head and said, "He didn't say anything." She paused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Right, I heard him say that after this matter is over, he will go meet up with the Military Advisor, but I don't know who this' Military Advisor 'is."
"Military Advisor, how could I forget about this? I know what to do next!" Ye Yunfeng thought for a moment and exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Yunfeng, and Bing Ruoshui asked, "Yunfeng, do you know who the Military Advisor is?"
"Yes, I know. Now that the Boss isn't here, we will go find the Military Advisor. The sisters-in-law are also with the Military Advisor and Uncle Bao. I wonder how they are doing," Ye Yunfeng said excitedly. He paused for a moment, then said, "I will tell Elder Xing that if the Boss returns, tell him that we went to find the Military Advisor. He will definitely come to find us. Moreover, the sisters-in-law all have the Boss's Jade Tube of Life, so they will definitely know if something happened to the Boss."
After hearing Ye Yunfeng's words, everyone looked at each other and nodded.
They could all be considered Ling Xiao's people, and Ye Yunfeng was Ling Xiao's little brother. They knew that Ling Xiao had already made arrangements, so they naturally did not hesitate to support Ye Yunfeng's suggestion.
After everyone had made their decision, Ye Yunfeng found Gu Longxing and told him about his departure. He also asked him to wait for Ling Xiao to return and help him convey their whereabouts.
Thus, Ye Yunfeng led everyone and left the Medicine Sect unwillingly.
They knew that Ling Xiao's disappearance was definitely related to the Medicine Sect, but they could not pose any danger to the Medicine Sect at the moment, so they could only meet up with the others and come up with a long-term plan.
… …
Hell City was also known as the City of Death and the City of Madness!
The mortality rate in this city was too high. Moreover, it was the city closest to the Death Mountain Range, which was also where the name of the city came from.
The Death Mountain Range was the strangest and most terrifying mountain range in the Central Region. At the same time, it was also a forbidden area for life in the Central Region. Even the mighty Emperors did not dare to go too deep into it.
Those martial artists who were not afraid of death entered the depths and never came out again, so everyone in the Central Region called it the Death Mountain Range.
However, there were many heavenly treasures in the vast area outside the Death Mountain Range. This was also a place where many mercenary groups gathered, and it was also a place where the disciples of the Black Demon Sect often trained because the Death Mountain Range and the Black Demon Sect's territory were close neighbors.
The Black Demon Sect had wanted to claim the Hell City as their territory. Unfortunately, the people who had been stationed in the Hell City had died inexplicably within a period of one to three years. The Black Demon Sect had also sent peerless powerhouses to inspect the city. Unfortunately, they hadn't found anything strange in the city. Therefore, the Black Demon Sect had given up on sending people to guard the city.
Nowadays, Hell City was a place where mercenary groups and some evil people often stayed. No one dared to stay here for long, and they would soon leave.
They were also afraid of dying inexplicably here.
A year and a half ago, a group of attention-grabbing people came to this city, which had the highest death rate and had the highest number of fights.
This was because there were three beautiful women among this group of people. They were the kind of peerless beauties that could not be found in ten thousand people. They were women that could make any man drool at the sight of them.
None of the men in the city were good people. They lived by licking knives all year round. Boorish men like them naturally coveted these three beautiful women.
However, the mercenaries, Roving Bandits, and villains who tried to lay their hands on the three beautiful women were all killed by the guards.
After that, no one dared to be presumptuous towards the three beautiful women.
When they saw the three women, they would bow and greet them, "Madam City Lord!"
This was because they knew that the three women had men, and their men were the legendary "City Lord" that outsiders had never seen!
They only knew that the City Lord's surname was Ling, and they did not know anything else. This made them full of curiosity towards this mysterious City Lord.
They really could not think of anyone who dared to stay in Hell City for a long time. They all laughed coldly in their hearts. This City Lord was probably a short-lived person. They all felt pity for the three beautiful women!
The City Lord's Mansion of Hell City was an ancient building built against a mountain. It was majestic and magnificent, not inferior to the City Lord's Mansion of any of the major factions. From afar, it looked mysterious and old, as if it had existed for countless years.
It turned out that this ominous place already had some life. The sound of many people talking could be heard in the main hall.
In the main hall, there were a total of three men and three women. There was an old man, two young men, and three beautiful women.
The seat at the head of the table was empty. No one was sitting there, as if they were waiting for the City Lord to take his seat.
"Military Advisor, the Imperial Roll Tournament has already ended for more than half a year. Why hasn't he returned yet?"
A Daoist nun wearing a Daoist robe with an extremely plump figure asked the white-clothed young man opposite her.
Beside the Daoist nun, a beautiful, delicate, and pitiful woman also asked, "That's right, Military Advisor, why hasn't Young Master returned yet?"
Sitting in front of the two women was a noble woman dressed in a different race's attire. She only stared at the white-clothed young man. Although she did not say anything, her eyes were filled with doubt.
The white-clothed young man lightly waved his white paper fan and said with a faint smile, "This is the reason why I gathered everyone here. I received the latest news from the Young Master."
"Hurry up and say it!" the three women said in unison.
