Chapter 72 - Conspiracy

Hearing Ling Xiao's encouragement, the crying sounds around them gradually quietened down.

Then, Ling Xiao asked: "Elders, do you know where the Branch Lord went?"

"I heard that the Branch Lord left the Division with the four Elders in order to give Bao Bian and Feng Shao the opportunity to break in. That way, they could pretend that they didn't know anything and gain the Branch disciples' trust." An elder said angrily.

"So that's how it is. He should be coming back by now. Everyone, get ready to welcome your Branch Lord!" Ling Xiao said with a cold smile.

Following Ling Xiao's command, the originally lifeless Beggar Gangs Branch Division once again came to life. Under the lead of the elders, it quickly returned to its former bustling atmosphere.

It was as if they weren't affected by Yingqing's conspiracy. It was mainly because the strength that Ling Xiao had displayed was too powerful, and with Sect Leader Qiao Feng here, they believed that Yingqing's conspiracy was just seeking death.

Just as Ling Xiao had expected, the tiara once again returned to the tiller after a short period of time.

"Where's the person!?" Why is there no one here to welcome you all, what are you all doing!? " A discontented voice sounded from the entrance of the stronghold.

Hearing this voice, many of the Beggar Gangs disciples started to become nervous. Ling Xiao noticed that the surrounding atmosphere had become restless.

"Open the door." Ling Xiao said.

Thus, two sturdy looking Beggar Gangs Disciples stepped forward and forcefully pushed open the door.

Afterwards, Guan Qing walked in arrogantly with four elders. Looking at the neat and tidy group of Beggar Gangs, she frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

An elder walked up to them and shouted, "Division Commander, four elders, what is the meaning of leaving us behind?"

When Guan Qing heard this, his face couldn't help but change. He knew that the situation wasn't good, so after looking around and seeing that he didn't see Bao Tang and Feng Shao's figures, he knew that their plan had failed.

"Elder Xu, what are you saying?" Guan Qing forced herself to ask, pretending not to know anything.

"Humph!" Branch Lord, you are underestimating us too much. Do you really think that the two generals from the Mu Rong family can take over the division of the Beggar Gangs? " Elder Xu said in a cold voice: "Perhaps you never would have thought that the Sect Master Ling and Sect Master Qiao who are at the helm are both here!"

At this time, he finally found Qiao Feng's figure in the crowd. As for Ling Xiao, Guan Qing had also seen him before.

"Sect Master Ling, Sect Leader Qiao." Guan Qing's reaction was fast as expected of the old Jianghu. When she saw the two people, she immediately stepped forward and respectfully greeted them.

Looking at the smug look on Guan Qing's face, Ling Xiao was disgusted. He frowned and said: Helmsman Guan Qing, the Branch Division is busy, you guys still have time to go out and play?

When Guan Qing heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Sect Master Ling has misunderstood, we are going out to do something."

"Oh? What's important is that we have to bring the four Elders of the division out, and have been there for such a long time. Ling Xiao bluntly asked.

To Ling Xiao's question, Guan Qing was naturally prepared, but he was currently very dissatisfied, because it was in front of all the disciples of the Beggar Gangs, causing him to lose a lot of face.

"Sect Master Ling, you should have just arrived. These people are too blind, how can we let you stand outside? Why don't we go sit inside and chat?" Guan Qing giggled as she spoke.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but snort. He knew what Guan Qing was thinking, it was just to avoid the eyes of the disciples. It had to be known that the disciples had a huge opinion of him.

"There's no need, as long as Branch Lord is here, then it's fine. After all, the disciples here just went through a very difficult situation, and many of them were even killed. If the Branch Lord can't give an explanation, then it means that all of you are working together." Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing this, the complexions of all four elders changed, especially those four elders. Their expressions kept changing, as if they had something to say.

Ling Xiao had seen through all of these situations clearly, so he had a plan in his heart, which meant that the four great elders were also forced to a standstill.

"Actually, I don't know why so many people were needed, but the four elders had a serious expression on their faces at that time, so I didn't think too much and followed them." Guan Qing threw up his hands in helplessness.

Hearing this, the four elders immediately went crazy.

"Branch Lord, aren't your words too much? We were obviously called over by you!" One of the elders widened his eyes, he couldn't believe that Guan Qing had sold them out so thoroughly.

"What's going on, Division Commander? It seems like things are not as simple as you say." Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"Sect Master Ling, you have to believe me, my heart is on the tiller." Guan Qing said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

"Put that ugly face of yours away. Bao Dang and Feng Wuxie have told me everything." Ling Xiao said with a cold smile.

Hearing his words, beads of sweat started to roll out of Guan Qing's forehead.

"Sect Master Ling, they must have lied to you." Guan Qing forced a smile as he spoke.

Ling Xiao just snorted and waved, signalling the injured disciples to stand out.

"Come, tell the Branch Chief what terrible things Bao Wuqiong and Feng Wugou have done." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he retreated to the side, ready to enjoy the show.

Facing Guan Qing, these disciples felt a lot of pressure, but in the end, Guan Qing was just the Branch Lord, and with Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng here, it was naturally their chance to speak up.

Thus, those Beggar Gangs disciples who were feeling extremely stifled told their miserable experiences one by one. At the same time, the elders who were imprisoned also recounted their experiences, and thus, the branch disciples who were present all became furious.

"Division Commander, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Ling Xiao looked at Guan Qing, and said with an ice-cold gaze.

Faced with the doubt and anger of the many branch disciples, Guan Qing felt a chill down his spine. Furthermore, Ling Xiao now had an ample amount of evidence in his hands, making it even more impossible for him to retreat.

"Sect Master Ling, it must be Bao Tang and Feng Wugou who are sowing discord, they want us Beggar Gangs to clash with them, and with that, Mu Rong family will be able to reap the benefits, please do not fall into their trap!" Suddenly, Guan Qing shouted.
