Chapter 100 - You Can't Talk About People Behind Their Backs

The great elder didn’t see Ye Xuan’s face clearly that night because he had disguised himself from head to toe. Now that Ye Xuan was in the crowd with his head lowered, how could he have noticed?

Moreover, he was confident that Ye Xuan had no chance of surviving his full-power attack at that time. However, he never expected that Ye Xuan was no ordinary person.

“I’ve heard that the Dao Seeking Sect is the strongest among the seven great sects. They seem to be above the other sects. It seems that they are indeed worthy of their reputation.”

“But isn’t Sword Sect the one with the highest combat power? ”

“So what if they have the highest combat power? It still depends on their overall strength.”

The few large sects that were already on the stage had different expressions when they saw the Dao Seeking Sect appear and heard the discussions of the people below.

The people of the Infinity Sect said in a strange tone, “The Dao Seeking Sect is still the same, they like to be mysterious here.”

“There’s no other way, who asked them to have this kind of strength.”

In recent years, although the seven great sects appeared peaceful on the surface, there was no lack of internal strife. They seemed to be on equal footing, but the struggle was extremely intense.

Right now, the strongest should be the Sword Sect, the Dao Seeking Sect, and the Heaven Sect. The rest were slightly inferior.

When the great elder of the Dao Seeking Sect came in, everyone’s eyes fell on him. Naturally, they also noticed the bandaged area on his hand. They immediately revealed strange expressions.

“Great Elder, what happened? Did you hurt your hand?”

This was like the sun rising from the west. According to their current cultivation, there were not many people who could cause harm to them. Even if they were injured, they could heal very quickly unless the one who attacked was particularly powerful.

However, to be able to harm the great elder of the Dao Seeking Sect, how high was this person’s cultivation?

Faced with everyone’s speculating looks, the great elder appeared particularly calm. He used the excuse he had prepared long ago. He commented, “It’s nothing serious. I was just careless.”

Everyone saw that his expression was normal and didn’t suspect anything. After all, there weren’t many people who could cause harm to him. Besides, other than the seven great sects, they had never heard of the Dao Seeking Sect having any conflicts with others.

“Your entrance earlier was really impressive, Great Elder.”

It was just a few perfunctory and cordial words, but the great elder replied with a subtle, heavy tone, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to use this opportunity to give some inspiration to the sects that came to participate in the sect returning ceremony.”

The word ‘Dao’ had really woken up many people.

After all, with the great elder’s cultivation level, just a few pointers from him would be a rare opportunity for this group of low-level cultivators.

The reason why he did this was to establish his might, to let everyone know the position of the Dao Seeking Sect in the seven great sects. He was really scheming.

Many people secretly cursed the old fox in their hearts, but on the surface, they had no choice but to maintain the necessary peace.

After exchanging greetings for a while, they realized that all the sects had arrived except for the Sword Sect.

“That’s weird. Today is the sect returning ceremony. The Sword Sect shouldn’t be late.”

“Who knows? Maybe they got some kind of treasure and are studying it in the sect.”

This so-called ‘treasure’ was naturally the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram that had previously caused an uproar in the capital. As the people at the auction disappeared into thin air, talk about it gradually decreased.

Now that it was brought up again, the atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at each other, and everyone understood the meaning of these words.

“The Hetu and Luoshu Diagram probably isn’t in the hands of the Sword Sect. Last time, they left the auction in a hurry with the pills. I think something big must have happened in the sect.”

“I heard something about Mo Jianming getting injured?”

The words spoken by the Misty Illusory Manor seemed to be casual, but they were like small pebbles, causing small ripples in everyone’s hearts.

Although the Sword Sect had sealed off news about Mo Jianming’s injuries, there were no walls in the world that could keep the wind out. Moreover, the other sects were also paying attention to it. These people were all cunning foxes, and any slight movement would arouse their suspicion.

“You can’t say such things. Elder Mo is such a powerful person. How could he be injured?”

The Infinity Sect gave them a meaningful look.

“It’s not as simple as a physical injury. Even his soul has been affected. I’m sure those who bought the divine soul pill at the auction before know that it’s not a divine soul pill.”

Before he could finish his sentence, everyone knew what he meant.

Although the soul-returning pill was rare and not many existed in the world, there were still people in the seven great sects who knew how to differentiate the goods. As long as they ate it, they would know that it was a soul-returning pill.

Everyone present was smart and quickly understood what he meant. They couldn’t help but feel excited. If the Sword Sect didn’t have Mo Jianming, their strength would probably have dropped a lot.

“Now that Mo Jianming has suffered such a serious injury, the people of the Sword Sect are not in the mood to participate in the sect returning ceremony. I think that’s why they are not here.”

“Doesn’t that mean that the Sword Sect can’t even participate in this year’s sect returning ceremony?”

The moment he finished speaking, a deep and powerful voice was heard.

“Who said I’m seriously injured?”

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the Sword Sect. The one leading them was Mo Jianming, who they had been talking about!

Mo Jianming was in high spirits, his eyes were bright and full of energy, and the aura on his body was extremely stable. He did not look injured at all. His cultivation had even improved a lot, and the sword intent in his eyes seemed to be able to form a physical entity.

The people who touched Mo Jianming felt a little unnatural and couldn’t help but look away.

The people of the Dao Seeking Sect and the Heaven Sect looked at him suspiciously, but they didn’t find any hints of injuries.
