Chapter 13

“Sect Master, I think there’s something fishy about this!”

A short elder walked out from the side and spoke first.

“A few hundred years ago, the Sword Control Sect’s previous sword master should’ve already been destroyed. Moreover, before the left guardian died, we investigated the issue and found out that the current Sword Control Sect’s sword master inheritance is incomplete.”

Hearing the short elder speak first, the other elders also spoke.

“Yes, the current Sword Control Sect master, Zhang Qishan, is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm…”

The Ghost Spirit Sect master, Li Xiao, nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “So, do you think that the rumors are true?”

“Well…”

The elders looked at each other and remained silent.

After all, the news was too shocking. The Blood Soul Demon Master was a Soul Formation cultivator, while the Ghost Daoist had two magic treasures and was as strong as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In the end, they were all killed by the Sword Control Sect.

What shocked the elders the most was their death.

In the soul lamp room, the life soul lamps of the Blood Soul Demon Master and the Ghost Daoist were extinguished within three breaths.

In other words, both of them were killed in just three breaths’ time.

They did not even have the chance to struggle or escape.

Therefore, the rumors were unbelievable.

Li Xiao rubbed his eyebrows, and his head hurt.

“Could it be that… there really is a sword master resurrected in the Sword Control Sect, and he’s still sending people to destroy the seal in front of this sword master?”

He originally thought that sending the Ghost Daoist to save the Blood Soul Demon Master would definitely work.

Who would have thought that the Sword Control Sect had such a backup plan.

Anyway, things had already happened.

At this moment, Li Xiao had no choice but to take this situation seriously.

His behavior had already offended the Sword Control Sect. This was a life and death grudge!

If the Sword Control Sect wanted revenge, that mysterious expert who had easily killed the demon master could now easily kill them all.

“Hmph!”

Li Xiao snorted in annoyance, his heart filled with anger that he wanted to vent.

As for the right guardian and the elders below, they were so frightened that they did not even dare to take a deep breath after sensing the sect master’s depressed mood.

Perhaps in the outside world, they could be called experts of the cultivation world’s demon sect, and their killing methods were terrifying.

However, their methods and reputation were nothing compared to Li Xiao, who became the sect master by killing countless fellow disciples.

No one could stop Li Xiao if he wanted to kill someone.

However, he was now in an extremely awkward position because of this.

He knew very well that he was completely no match for that “sword master”of the Sword Control Sect. After all these years of his continuous development, the Ghost Spirit Sect’s influence in the Northern Spirit Realm had become greater.

Every demon sect disciple knew their sect’s position.

However, if he stayed in the Dead Language Secret Realm, he would practically be waiting for death.

Having said that, he was the sect master of a large faction, after all.

It would be too shameful for him to bring up the matter of moving the sect.

At this moment, Li Xiao looked hesitant.

For a moment, he was speechless.

The White Bones Daoist, who was standing on Li Xiao’s right, had been his right-hand man. He could roughly guess Li Xiao’s thoughts from his facial expression.

“Sect Master, I know that you’re upset about the matter regarding the Blood Soul Demon Master and the Ghost Daoist’s death. I also know that you feel aggrieved and want to take revenge, but we don’t know our enemy’s strength. If we act rashly, accidents may happen easily.”

The black-robed Daoist, who was nearly two and a half meters tall, bowed and said with a sincere, convincing attitude after a moment of analysis, “I think that we should move the sect immediately!”

Hearing the White Bones Daoist’s suggestion, Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction in his heart, but his face gave nothing away.

The other elders heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

No one wanted to seek revenge and die.

The elders looked at Li Xiao eagerly, hoping that he would agree to this suggestion.

Then, they looked at the empty guardian position on Li Xiao’s left from time to time, wondering if they could become the next guardian.

Li Xiao was expressionless as he slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed through them. It was as if he had made a very important decision.

“Pass the order.

“The entire sect, prepare to move!”

Li Xiao’s voice was hoarse as he spoke.

This was the answer that many elders here wanted to hear the most.

Very soon, the elders all took their leave and prepared to rest.

Finally, only the Ghost Spirit Sect master, Li Xiao, and White Bones Daoist were in the hall.

“Sect Master, the few earliest sword masters of the Sword Control Sect were all extremely proud and overprotective existences, while the demon master and the Ghost Daoist massacred wantonly within the Sword Control Sect, forming an irreconcilable hatred.

“If there really is a sword master in the Sword Control Sect, our Ghost Spirit Sect will have a big business. Even if we move, we’ll be easily found.”

Seeing that the other elders had already left, the White Bones Daoist voiced out his worries.

Li Xiao’s brows were tightly knitted, and a strong sense of dread appeared on his face.

He was also aware of these issues, but he did not have a choice now.

He could not possibly give up the Ghost Spirit Sect and become a wandering cultivator like a stray dog.

Back then, every sword master of the Sword Control Sect was indeed very strong.

Even though Li Xiao had already entered the middle stage of the Soul Formation Realm, he still did not have the confidence to face such an opponent.

Therefore, since he could not afford to provoke him, he had to leave quickly.

Luckily enough, there was only one such person in the Sword Control Sect.

He would break up the entire Ghost Spirit Sect and split it into many branches, hiding them in various parts of the Northern Spirit Realm.

In this way…

Even if the other party wanted to hunt them down, they could only search for them one by one.

‘This way, not only will I be able to survive for a period of time, but I’ll also be able to hear the news and escape in time if the sword master comes looking for me.’

Li Xiao thought to himself.

He could not afford to offend the sword master, but he could at least hide, right?

As for Wu Ye, who had caused all of this, he would take a leisurely stroll every day apart from the daily sign-ins.

Other than that, he would plan the rest of his time effectively.

Recently, he was a little depressed.

He had already been stuck at the peak of the Soul Formation Realm for a period of time.

In the past half a year, no matter how much he cultivated and took pills, he was unable to make any progress.

There were two reasons for this.

The first was that he had already signed in at all the valuable places in Qianyuan Mountain.

After signing up for the first time in every place, the quality of the rewards became weaker.

Medicinal pills below the third grade were no longer of any use to him.

In addition, he was extremely greedy when it came to cultivation. Other people only cultivated one attribute of spells, yet he was reluctant to part with those top secret techniques.

Body tempering, five elements of spirit roots, spells, sword techniques, and talisman techniques.

He wanted all of them!

Therefore, he did not have any spare time to find trouble with the Ghost Spirit Sect.

However, if he knew that the Ghost Spirit Sect was scared to the point of disbanding before he actually made a move, the news might be able to cheer him up..
