“Nephew Yu, are you alright?! What happened?”

A purple-robed elder with a dove-shaped face stepped forward and asked. He was abnormally thin and his face was haggard.

This person was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Shi Mingxiao.

He was a Martial Saint expert whose current strength was second only to Lin Zhan. He had just broken through to the Three Fiend Realm some time ago.

Lin Yu glanced at him, then looked around at everyone present and said calmly, “Someone broke into my study just now and wanted to harm me. He was already killed by Big Brother.”

“What? The sect master has come out of seclusion!”

“Sect Master, isn’t he…

“That’s great! Sect Master has reached Greater Mastery of the Divine

Technique! We don’t have to be like the Gu family anymore!”

When the martial artists in the field heard this, most of the martial artists in black revealed happy expressions.

Black clothes were the standard clothes of Force Tempering inner sect disciples.

The purple-robed elders were at the Visceral Tempering Grandmaster Realm and the Fiend Condensation Martial Saint Realm.

Shi Mingxiao said in a deep voice, “Since the sect master personally took action, where is the sect master now?”

“After Big Brother’s injuries recovered, he improved further and just broke through to the Four Fiend Realm. His realm hasn’t stabilized yet, so he has already returned to the Heavenly Demon Cave. He will only officially come out of seclusion after completely mastering the second Lesser Divine Power!”

Now that he had Ding Xiu backing him, he was full of confidence. When Ding Xiu refined the Essence Replenishment Void Returning Pill, his brother’s injuries would definitely recover. At that time, he would not have to be afraid of Shi Mingxiao.

During this period of time, Shi Mingxiao had been pressing on him step by step. He had long been about to reach his limit. Now, he had finally vented his anger.

“What?!”

“Sect Master has broken through!’

“That’s great! ”

“When Sect Master masters the second Lesser Divine Power, our Heavenly Demon Sect will definitely be able to advance to a higher level and become a top faction second only to the Xu family of Giant Kun City and the Lan family of West Shell City.”

“This time, we must teach the Gu family a lesson!”

Hearing Lin Yu’s confident words, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were excited.

“Sect Master really broke through?!” Shi Mingxiao’s expression was a little uncertain.

“Elder Shi, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the Heavenly Demon Cave to investigate.” Lin Yu smiled.

“Nephew Yu, you must be joking.” Shi Mingxiao’s expression froze. Once the Dragon Breaking Rock fell, unless it was opened from the inside, one would not be able to raise their strength unless they were above the Four Fiend Realm. Moreover, he did not dare to try.

He knew much more about what had happened tonight than the others. This was because he had secretly contacted the Gu family and asked them to send someone to kill Lin Yu. After that, he took the opportunity to become the sect master.

However, what happened tonight was completely beyond his expectations.

From the traces left at the scene, the battle lasted for an extremely short period of time, It should be over soon.

“This damned Gu Yuanshun has already broken through to the Four Fiend Realm, but he’s still so timid.” Shi Mingxiao cursed in his heart.

He felt that the Gu family must have only sent a One Fiend Realm Martial Saint to assassinate Lin Yu. Otherwise, they would not have ended the battle so quickly and wasted the excellent opportunity he had created.

If Gu Yuanshun came personally, even if Lin Zhan broke through to the Four Fiend Realm, his realm would definitely be unstable and he would definitely not be Gu Yuanshun’s match.

“Where’s the disciple in charge of keeping watch tonight?” Lin Yu changed the topic.

“Acting Sect Master, the disciple in charge of guarding the night has disappeared!” A purple-robed elder said respectfully. Before Lin Zhan went into seclusion, he had asked Lin Yu to be the acting sect master. In the past two years, Lin Zhan had been in seclusion. Many people were unwilling to accept it. However, not only had Lin Zhan recovered from his injuries, but his cultivation had also improved greatly. It was too late to show his loyalty now. “These traitors! They actually colluded with outsiders!”

Lin Yu said coldly and glanced at Shi Mingxiao from the corner of his eye.

Lin Yu felt that what happened tonight must have something to do with Shi Mingxiao. Otherwise, even Gu Yuanshun would not have been able to sneak into the study in the back hall without anyone knowing.

He really did not expect Shi Mingxiao to do this. This person was saved by his father back then and the two of them even became brothers with different surnames.

Lin Yu had always treated Shi Mingxiao as a respectable elder. He did not expect that Shi Mingxiao would want him dead just to snatch the position of the sect master!

“We can’t let these people off. Kill them!”

The inner sect disciples were furious.

“Elder Chen, I’ll leave this matter to you.” Lin Yu looked at a bald man in the middle of the crowd and said. This person was the hall master of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Punishment Hall, Chen Yingfei.

“Yes, Acting Sect Master. I’ll go now!” Chen Yingfei bowed respectfully and left with a few disciples.

“Disperse. Remember! Before my brother comes out of seclusion, don’t leak what happened tonight. Wait for my brother to come out of seclusion.”

Lin Yu said solemnly with his hands behind his back.

“Yes! We’ll take our leave!” Everyone bowed in unison.

Before Shi Mingxiao left, he looked at the collapsed wall in the courtyard. He walked out of the back hall and returned to his room. He immediately summoned his trusted martial artist.

“Find an opportunity to go to the Gu family immediately and inform Gu Yuanshun to ask him why he didn’t come personally. This will give Lin Zhan and Lin Yu a chance to catch their breath! Tell him to take action. Otherwise, I’ll have to change people to cooperate!”

After his trusted martial artist left, Shi Mingxiao summoned another person.

The other party was tall and muscular, and his bald head was shiny. It was the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, Chen Yingfei.

“Elder Shi, this is different from what you said before!” Before Shi Mingxiao could speak, Chen Yingfei was the first to question him.

“How would I know that Gu Yuanshun is so unreliable?!” Shi Mingxiao’s

expression darkened..
