Chapter 187 Heavy Reward

Elder Huoyu was worried that the masked man would leave and come back, so he waited for a while until the four elders arrived, then gave an explanation and took the lead in chasing into the forest.

"what happened?"

"Where is Elder Huoyu?"

"Who is this person on the ground?"

Several elders asked one after another.

Elder Shui Jing said nothing, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This disciple of mine has made another breakthrough.

Zhao Lin Qiucai broke through to the second level of Qi Realm last time, and today Sweeping Mountain happened to break through to the third level. Is the timing too coincidental?

However, it is not appropriate to ask about this now. Elder Shui Jing said slowly: "Zhao Lin, tell me, what happened just now?"

"Go back to the elder..."

Zhao Lin repeated what he had just said to Elder Huo Yu.

The four elders were shocked and angry after hearing this.

Elder Jinshi's beard and hair were spread out, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is to cut off the roots of my Xingyun Sect, search it for me!"

…

Late at night, in the main hall on the top of the mountain of Xingyun Sect.

There were four corpses placed in the center of the hall. The black scarves had been removed from the corpses' faces and all their clothes had been stripped off.

The leader, Lu Chaohuan, was sitting on the main seat, his brows furrowed and his face solemn.

Ten people stood on both sides of the main hall, including the six elders of the outer courtyard and the Wuxiang courtyard, the chief and deputy heads of the inner courtyard, and the left and right guardians of the sect.

It can be said that except for a few elders who are old and frail and ignore worldly affairs, basically all the Yuanjing warriors of Xingyun Sect are here.

Lu Chaohuan thought for a long time, looked at Elder Jinshi, and said, "Elder Jinshi, are there only these four people?"

Elder Jinshi nodded and said: "Back to the head, we searched Yuanze Mountain and found only these four people. We cannot rule out that there are fish that slipped through the net."

Lu Chaohuan thought for a while and asked again: "Have you ever fought against each other? Can you tell the origins of these people's skills?"

Elder Jinshi shook his head, "No, they obviously wanted to hide their identities and used ordinary techniques. After knowing that they could not escape, they cut off their meridians and died."

Lu Chaohuan sighed: "This is a dead soldier! Who has such a big hatred against our Xingyun Sect?"

"Guardian Zuo, can you see it?"

The Zuo protector's name was Zhang Zong, who was responsible for intelligence spying. Hearing this, he pointed to the corpses on the ground and said: "These people don't look like me from the Central Plains at first glance, but they seem to be of mixed Hu and Yue blood. It's hard to tell that they are from different ethnic groups.

Which country are you from?"

Fan Wenshu, the right protector in charge of law enforcement, paused the dragon-headed cane in his hand and snorted coldly: "You idiot, you want to destroy the martial arts seeds of our Xingyun Sect and suppress Dai Viet in the martial arts competition."

Lu Chaohuan nodded, "What the two guardians said is true. I immediately revised the book to Luoyun Sect and Tianzheng Sect and asked them if similar things happened there."

"Before we find out the real culprit, we must take more precautions and don't give these little guys any chance!"

Having said this, he frowned and said, "The choice of Yuanze Mountain for mountain sweeping was just decided the day before yesterday. How did these thieves know about it?"

Zhang Zong was startled and asked: "The leader means that there is a mole in the sect? Do you want your subordinates to investigate internally?"

Lu Chaohuan looked hesitant and finally shook his head, "Forget it, this matter is my fault. I shouldn't have announced it in advance. I'm afraid someone outside the mountain knows about it and there is no way to investigate it."

“Next time, whether it’s harvesting in autumn or sweeping the mountains, we’ll all decide on the same day.”

Everyone discussed for a while, and Lu Chaohuan suddenly remembered something and asked: "Elder Huoyu, what was the name of the disciple you just said who killed the masked man?"

"Zhao Lin."

Elder Huo Yu glanced at Elder Shui Jing and said reluctantly: "He is a disciple of the Shui Jing Department."

Lu Chaohuan stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully: "This name sounds familiar."

Elder Jinshi reminded: "Zhao Lin was the top picker last year."

Lu Chaohuan shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

The law enforcement elder raised his eyebrows, "I remember that the person who captured the traitor Wen Gensheng last year was named Zhao Lin. I even made a special trip to Qinghe County in Yingzhou. Could it be him?"

When Elder Shui Jing heard about this for the first time, he was slightly startled and said: "That must be him, right. Zhao Lin is from Qinghe County, Yingzhou, and his teacher is Zhu Huaishan."

"very good!"

A smile appeared on Lu Chaohuan's face, "Brother Shui Jing, your disciple has made great achievements!"

The law enforcement elder immediately agreed: "What the leader said makes sense. This boy is brave and resourceful. He dares to use his Qi Realm cultivation level to surpass the level and kill the Blood Realm warrior."

"Judging from the claw marks on the corpse, the accomplishments of Sanyin claws are indeed impressive!"

"According to the sect's rules, you should be rewarded heavily!"

Lu Chaohuan nodded, "He is a talent that can be created. We must focus on cultivating him to ensure that he can enter the blood realm."

"Maybe in a few years, I can earn some credit for our sect at the martial arts competition."

"What do you think?"

Naturally, no one had any objections. Everyone knew that four blood realm warriors, working in pairs, could kill Qi realm disciples with almost no effort.

If Zhao Lin hadn't discovered and warned him in time, I don't know how many disciples would have been lost that night.

…

Because of the incident with the masked man, the mountain sweep ended hastily, and the disciples rushed back to Xingyun Sect overnight.

Zhao Lin was exhausted both physically and mentally. When he returned to his residence, he fell asleep with his head covered.

Early the next morning, Elder Shui Jing came to visit.

"Elder, please come in."

As soon as Zhao Lin finished washing, he opened the door and saw Elder Shui Jing. Knowing that there must be something important, he quickly invited him into the house.

"Zhao Lin, you made great achievements yesterday. The leader suggested giving you a big award. All the elders have no objections."

As soon as Shui Jing sat down, he said with a smile.

Zhao Lin was overjoyed. When he saw Elder Shui Jing only smiled and said nothing, he cooperated and said, "I wonder what kind of award it is?"

Elder Shui Jing smiled slightly and said, "There is only one word to ensure that you enter the blood realm."

Zhao Lin didn't expect the reward to be so generous, and was astonished.

You must know that even the disciples of Wuxiang Yuan, not everyone can break through to the blood realm. This sentence means that the sect is willing to shed blood to help them break through.

To put it simply, even if you use medicine to hit you, you will still hit yourself into a bloody state.

Of course, all this is not obtained out of thin air. If you do not show enough strength, I am afraid that the sect may not be willing to do this.

"Thank you all for leading... elders and heads."

Elder Shui Jing said with a smile: "With your contribution, no reward is too high."

Zhao Lin said a few words modestly, and then asked: "Elder, what is the origin of the masked man last night? Why did he attack and kill the disciples of our academy?"

Elder Shui Jing pondered for a moment, "The origin is still unknown. This matter involves the competition between Dai Viet and neighboring countries."

"As for the detailed reasons, you'll know when you get to the inner courtyard."

Elder Shui Jing was tight-lipped, but Zhao Lin vaguely guessed that the matter was related to the martial arts competition.

Xingyun Sect is the top sect in Dai Viet, while Wuxiang Academy has a group of the most talented elite disciples.

Once something goes wrong, the sect will face a situation of inactivity for the next ten to twenty years, and will be unable to make a difference in the martial arts competition.

From this point of view, my contribution is indeed not small.
