Hidden Blade

Chapter 79 Which Is More Important

Ye Hongjian 's husband defeated the newly promoted direct disciple Tong Tiexin with a single punch, and the news of him cutting off his second finger quickly spread in the Exquisite Pavilion.

Xu Han's deep concealment and cruel methods were demonized by the people with the intention, and they were passed down among the disciples of the various peaks to be divine.

On the second day, the elders and deacons of the Xuanhe Peak gathered at the World-saving Palace.

Before Sect Leader Ning Zhumang arrived, the elders and deacons of the various peaks whispered to each other. They didn't know what to say, but their gazes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at one of the purple-robed men.

The man was over fifty years old. He had sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes. The outline of his face was as sharp as a knife. In front of him was a broadsword. At this moment, he was sitting on the side with a gloomy face. He could hear the whispers of the surrounding people clearly, and this made his expression even uglier. This person was the master of Tong Tiexin , who had his two fingers cut off by Xu Han-Qing Ruxi, a Mortal Realm cultivator!

"Mr. Zhuo, what do you think the Sect Head Ning is calling the elders and deacons of the various peaks? Is it related to yesterday's incident?" An old man dressed in a black robe asked the middle-aged man beside him.

"It's not like there were any deaths in the fights between disciples. If we have to gather the elders of the sect for this matter, wouldn't we be too busy to death?" Mr. Zhuo asked with a faint smile.

"What is that so-called thing? It's worth the trouble?" Ning Zhumang 's actions are always unrestrained. I think his position as the sect master is too comfortable. " The black-robed old man, Elder Hong, the deacon on the Dahuan Peak , complained.

"Why should Elder Hong be angry? I'll know what exactly is going on when the headmaster arrives." Mr. Zhuo smiled and said.

Seeing him like this, Elder Hong knew that he didn't have the heart to continue chatting on this topic, so he tactfully kept his mouth shut.

..

Just as everyone was speculating, a black-robed, white-browed, black-haired man suddenly walked in from outside the palace. At that moment, the still noisy Grand Hall of the World-saving Palace instantly fell silent.

When the man stepped onto the platform, the people sitting on both sides of the platform stood up and bowed to the man. They shouted, "Greetings, Sect Leader."

When the white-browed man heard this, he nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to say, "Everyone, please take a seat."

Although his voice was still as gentle as ever, it wasn't difficult for those who had the heart to notice that the Sect Leader's eyebrows were currently filled with a gloomy expression that was hard to dissipate.

The white-browed man, the headmaster, Ning Zhumang , was about to take a seat when he finished speaking, but before his butt could land, a loud shout rang out from the crowd.

"Xu Han, the guest of the Xuanhe Peak, is bullying us with his might. He has cut off my disciple Tong Tiexin 's two fingers. Please help my disciple!"

Qing Ru Xi, dressed in purple robes, took a big step towards the center of the hall and bowed his hands, shouting loudly.

Everyone present had anticipated this scene and turned to look at Ning Zhumang on the high platform.

No matter what, Xu Han was recruited by Ning Zhumang. Back then, the entire sect could be said to be discussing this matter. Ning Zhumang resisted the crowd and even took out his identity as the sect leader to forcefully suppress this matter. Now that Xu Han had caused this kind of trouble, Qing Ruxi even came to the door. It wasn't too much to say that he was slapping Ning Zhumang in the face.

Among them, people like Ding Jingcheng and Elder Hong, who had long been dissatisfied with Ning Zhumang , had mocking expressions written all over their eyes, waiting to see the Sect Leader make a fool of himself.

As they had expected, Ning Zhumang 's expression turned extremely ugly when he heard what Ru Xi said.

After he silently looked at Qing Ruxi for a long time, he finally said with some exhaustion, "I already know about this matter. Elder Qing, don't take it to heart. Later, I will send someone to visit Tong Tiexin to ensure that he will be alive and well within five days."

Ning Zhumang 's words clearly wanted to settle things peacefully, but since Qing Ruxi had chosen to expose this matter in front of everyone, such a result would not satisfy him.

With a thud, Qing Ruxi suddenly knelt in front of the hall.

"Then Xu Han will cut off my disciple's fingers indiscriminately. If such a villain is not severely punished, he will probably make the sect's most senior elders, deacons, and disciples' servants feel cold hearts!"

He said loudly, his voice filled with sorrow, as if he was feeling sorrowful about this matter.

"Mm" Ning Zhumang 's expression became even gloomier at that time. He reached out his hand to press the temples on both sides of his eyes. After a moment of silence, he asked, "In Elder Qing's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Xu Han dares to hurt our sect members. According to the rules of the sect, you should break an arm and drive him out of the Exquisite Pavilion. He is never allowed to enter the mountain gate again!" Qing Ruxi said loudly again, her tone resolute.

"Elder Qing, this matter concerns Xu Han's future after all. We still haven't figured out the cause and effect of this matter. How about this? After Tong Tiexin recovers, we'll call everyone involved in this matter to the front of the hall and confront each other face to face. At that time, the merits and demerits will be decided. Today, I'll gather everyone here and have something important to do." Ning Zhumang 's attitude softened slightly. Most likely, he wanted to expose this matter for the time being.

"Sect Leader, I thought this matter was related to the Linglong Pavilion's sect style. All the disciples are waiting for an explanation from the Sect Leader. My Linglong Pavilion is the leader of the righteous path in the world. If such a traitor comes out of the sect, it will not be punished strictly. Instead, it will only protect them. This will chill the hearts of everyone. It will shake the foundation of our Linglong Pavilion's sect and destroy the thousand-year inheritance!!" Qing Ruxi said these words with tears streaming down her cheeks. If she didn't know what was going on, the person in the room would have thought that he was a fist-chesting man, and would have given her unpleasant advice.

Seeing this, Ning Zhumang felt a slight pain in his head. He suppressed his temper and advised, "Elder Qing, there are priorities."

However, before he could finish his sentence, Qing Ru Xi interrupted him once again.

"I thought it was related to the sect's inheritance. No matter how anxious I was, I couldn't rush this matter!" In an instant, this matter was raised to the level of a sect's inheritance by Qing Ru Xi.

"Sect Leader, since Qing Zhang Lai insists on doing so, please give him an explanation. It's fine, but this matter." At this time, the skinny Ding Jingcheng also took a step forward and cupped his hands towards Ning Zhumang .

"That's right, Elder Qing has risked his life and death for the Exquisite Pavilion for many years, and he has worked very hard. Please forgive me, Sect Leader!"

With Ding Jingcheng leading the way, everyone in the hall stepped into the hall and shouted loudly.

Ning Zhumang lowered his head and looked around the audience. They looked respectful and cupped their hands, but in reality, they were forcing the palace!

Ning Zhumang knew this very well.

He nodded his head, and at that moment, a thick hint of hostility suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

"Good! Good!"

"Very good!"

He hurriedly said a few good words, then waved his hand, and snow-white letter papers flew out from his hands and scattered to the crowd below the stage.

"Tell me about the sect's inheritance, then take a good look. Is it your disciple, Qing Ru Xi, who caused trouble everywhere, or is it the matter mentioned in this letter that matters?"

Ning Zhumang said sternly at that time. The usually gentle tone he could use to speak to the crowd was the only one that everyone present had ever seen in their lives. They were all stunned and hurriedly ended up staring at the letter.

When they saw what was written on the letter, everyone's bodies trembled and their faces revealed expressions of shock.

On October 7, in Jingsheng City, Chongzhou , Deacon Liu Nan disappeared and seven accompanying disciples died from sword wounds.

On the 18th of October, in Gumo Town, Xuzhou, personal disciple Xia Liuguang was killed. His head was different, and his death was cruel.

On November 3, Elder Li Chenglong died in a restaurant in Red Head City, Jizhou. The cause of his death is unknown.

11th month, 9th day, Yanlai City , Qingzhou Province, went to suppress the demonic beasts. Li Qing and Yue Ning, two direct disciples, died strangely, or were harmed by evil creatures.

..

Snow-white letters were written on the news of the deaths of disciples sent to various sects.

Ever since they established their own sect, there had never been news of such a large number of disciples being killed. At that moment, everyone revealed expressions of fear.

"In just two months, my Linglong Pavilion has already lost three elders, four deacons, and nine direct disciples! Elder Qing, are you telling me that I am your troublesome disciple, or is my Linglong Pavilion's current situation important?"

At that moment, Ning Zhumang 's cold voice sounded.
