King Kong Courtyard, in a certain pavilion.

An old man and a young man sit opposite each other.

The old man is Dugu Hong, and the one opposite is Dugu Fei.

"Dean, why did you give up the black jade plaque of the Diamond Academy to the Tianhuo Academy?" Dugu Fei asked doubtfully. Originally, the black jade plaque belonged to Wu Meng, but Duguhong canceled Wu Meng's quota and gave it to another person.

A disciple, after many twists and turns, was finally sold to Xu Yan.

Duguhong slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why Xu Yan wants this black jade tablet?"

"I don't know, it's just to give the Tianhuo Academy disciples a chance to find opportunities," Dugu Fei said lightly, then frowned slightly, "However, it is said that the spiritual energy in the black jade ruins is not strong, and I guess it is not.

What precious treasures and opportunities could there be? Xu Yan spent a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones to buy this black jade token, which is undoubtedly a loss-making transaction."

"You're only half right," Dugu Hong said, "I sent someone to inquire. The reason why Xu Yan worked so hard and was even willing to give up a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones to get the black jade tablet was because of Lin Xiao.

."

"Lin Xiao?"

Duguhong nodded slightly, "Yes, Lin Xiao wanted to go to the Black Jade Ruins, so Xu Yan helped him find the Black Jade Tablet."

"Why did Lin Xiao go to the Black Jade Ruins?" Dugu Fei asked puzzledly, "Is it to look for opportunities?"

"I don't know about this, but for us, this is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to completely get rid of Lin Xiao."

Dugu Fei narrowed his eyes, "Could it be..."

"This time, the four major colleges will send people to the black jade ruins, and the Royal Academy will also send people. There is a grudge between the Nangong family and Lin Xiao, so they will definitely not let this opportunity pass by, and we can also take advantage of this opportunity."

"Dean, do you already have a plan?"

Duguhong nodded, "Of course, it's like this..."

After hearing Duguhong's plan, a sneer appeared at the corner of Dugufei's mouth, "As expected of the dean, it is indeed a brilliant move. This time, even if Lin Xiao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape death."

"Yeah." Duguhong also smiled and nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

A few days ago, Duguhong reported the news that Lin Xiao had the sword soul to his family. The top leaders of the family made a unanimous decision, asking him to get rid of Lin Xiao at all costs to avoid future troubles.

Obviously, a sword cultivator with a sword soul can't even sit still at the top of the Dugu family. After all, it is very possible that he can reach the level of the Sword Emperor. If that happens, the Dugu family will be under a huge threat.

Raising a tiger would be dangerous, so the Dugu family specially sent some experts for him to mobilize to help him get rid of Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao," Duguhong sneered in his heart, "Is it great to have a sword soul? No matter how evil a genius is, before he grows up, he is just a fragile baby."

"Contending with my Dugu family is destined to be the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life!"

----

In preparation for entering the black jade ruins, Lin Xiao had been concentrating on training, and before he knew it, another four days had passed.

Four days later, when Lin Xiao left the pavilion, the aura in his body was much stronger than before.

Now, Lin Xiao is in the middle stage of the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He has reached the fourth level of Mastery in the Spirit Gathering Finger, and he has also reached the third level of Swift Shadow Step, which is proficient.

Now, there is only one day left before the Black Jade Ruins are opened, and the disciples sent by Wenjian Academy to attend the ruins have made an appointment to gather today.

The meeting point was at the central square. Lin Xiao had arrived here early. Lin Xiao didn't know who the other four disciples were going to the ruins.

But soon, Lin Xiao saw three people walking towards this side.

When he saw one of them, Lin Xiao frowned immediately.

Dugu Fei!

When Lin Xiao came to take the assessment that day, he deliberately made things difficult for Dugu Fei, who wanted to frame him.

Lin Xiao did not know the other two people.

Dugu Fei came over, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Lin Xiao, long time no see."

Although Dugu Fei was smiling, in Lin Xiao's opinion, it was a smile hiding a knife. But as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, so Lin Xiao also stretched out his hand.

As soon as the two of them held their hands, Lin Xiao suddenly felt Dugu Fei's palm forcefully exerting force, causing Lin Xiao to feel a slight pain in his palm.

However, Lin Xiao's physical body is so powerful. Although Dugu Fei is at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his physical body is not as good as Lin Xiao's. Therefore, Dugu Fei's strength has no impact on Lin Xiao at all.

Seeing that Lin Xiao's expression remained as usual, Dugu Fei smiled coldly and immediately increased his strength.

Seeing this, the other two people could naturally tell that Dugu Fei was deliberately targeting Lin Xiao, but they didn't say anything.

They have all heard about Lin Xiao. Now he is very famous in the outer courtyard, but he is not in the eyes of the disciples in the inner courtyard. Moreover, Lin Xiao's performance in Wenjian Academy has been too high-profile recently. An old disciple came to

It is appropriate to teach him a lesson and give him a beating.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao frowned, as if he had endured great pain. He clenched his teeth and his face was tense, looking very painful.

Seeing this, the two old disciples raised the corners of their mouths slightly, and a trace of amusement flashed in their eyes.

On the other hand, Dugu Fei seemed to have a calm face, but he was struggling in his heart, because he felt a sharp pain in his palm. Lin Xiao's palm was as hard as a steel plate, clamping his palm tightly, pinching him.

Each finger seemed to be broken, and the sound of bones being squeezed could be heard faintly.

However, even though it was so painful, Dugu Fei had to pretend that nothing was wrong, otherwise he would lose face if the other two saw him.
