Chapter 243 Suspicion, Confirmation, and Training 3
A beam of golden sunlight shone in from the bowl-sized passage at the top of the cave, coating the simple space with a light sheen.
At this moment, in this cave that serves as a retreat for self-cultivation, the air is so quiet that one can hear breathing and heartbeat.
Under the gaze of brothers and sisters Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua, the second elder of [Haotian Sect] who is now the oldest fell into deep thought for a long time.
After a long time, the second elder with gray hair and wrinkled face finally said in a dry voice:
"I have no idea......"
"I don't know?!" After hearing this, Tang Xiao couldn't help but take two steps forward, stared at the second elder's somewhat dull eyes at the moment, and shouted excitedly: "Second elder, how could you not know?!"
"As my father and the great elder, you have personally entrusted me to lead the management of [Haotian Sect]. How could you...?!"
"I really don't know!" the second elder shouted loudly, interrupting Tang Xiao's series of questions.
"Alas~~~" The second elder sighed, his long white eyebrows condensed, he looked at Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua, and said with a lonely expression: "Back then, the old sect master and eldest brother (eldest elder) did sigh, uncle (Tang Chen)
Leaving [Haotian Sect] is like losing its backbone..."
"In fact, during the last 'Sect Ranking', if uncle (Tang Chen) hadn't left a strong enough foundation, the dragon from [Landian Yu Family] and the sword from [Seven Treasures Glazed Sect] might both have
Pull down our [Haotian Sect]’s reputation as number one in the world..."
"So, not only the old sect master and eldest brother, but also an old man like me, are eagerly hoping that my uncle can come back...or that there will be another...Haotian Douluo!!!"
"Then..." After hearing this, Tang Xiao glared and wanted to ask.
"But!" The second elder's voice was three points louder and he interrupted: "I really don't know if the old sect leader and the eldest brother have any plot against young Tang Hao!"
"Before, when eldest brother (eldest elder) asked you to expel Tang Hao from the sect, he told you what level ninety-nine is! At that time, Ruona Qianxunji was only seriously injured. With the remaining power of uncle (Tang Chen)
,【Martial Spirit Hall】will never dare to do anything drastic, and that boy Tang Hao will also have enough time to grow..."
"It's a pity..." The second elder shook his head and sighed: "Qianxunji is dead! We are not sure what will happen to Qiandaoliu who lost his son... Even if your father (old sect leader) still
If I were still alive, I would probably make the same decision as my elder brother (elder)..."
"What's more, Qian Xunji is also dead now. If there is really any secret in this, I'm afraid there is no way to know..."
Immediately, his voice became a little lower: "After all, they have brought all of this underground~"
"Second Elder..." Tang Yuehua's cold voice sounded in the empty stone room: "Back then, before the Second Elder was encircled and suppressed by [Martial Soul Hall], did Second Brother send any letters or other things to the sect?"
"Huh? You mean...?"
The second elder was startled when he heard this, his long eyebrows twitched, and he recalled.
Tang Xiao on the side also began to desperately recall whether the second brother had sent any message to the sect more than two years ago, but in the end he still shook his head without finding anything.
"It seems..." After a while, the second elder looked at Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua and said in an uncertain tone: "Before the death of the old sect master, he had a secret conversation with his elder brother (eldest elder) alone about something. What was it specifically?
Later, my eldest brother didn’t tell me, but not long after you took over as the sect leader, when my eldest brother took you to familiarize yourself with the affairs of our [Haotian Sect] sect, if there were any secret messages or the like, they would indeed be discovered first.
See in one step..."
Unlike Tang Xiao, who was in severe shock at the moment, Tang Yuehua on the side just nodded calmly and then asked:
"Then...I would like to ask, Second Elder, when did you know that Sister A Yin is a hundred thousand year soul beast?"
"This~" The second elder looked at Tang Xiao and saw that Tang Xiao was also looking over at this time. He subconsciously turned his head away from the other person's gaze and replied softly: "After that woman named A Yin appeared next to their brother
Not long~"
"What?!" Tang Xiao trembled, staring at the second elder, ready to question.
"Brother!" Tang Yuehua called to Tang Xiao. When Tang Xiao heard the sound and looked over, he shook his head slightly.
Then, Tang Yuehua looked at the second elder and asked: "Then father and the first elder have never thought of directly killing people to seize the soul rings and soul bones?"
"It's too late~" The second elder shook his head and replied: "Because it had already reached the realm of the Soul Emperor, which is the mature stage after the soul beast transformed. According to the records handed down by our [Haotian Sect],
Unless it sacrifices itself, no one can take it away... Hiss!!!"
As the second elder said this, he suddenly took a breath of cold air as he thought of his previous guesses. Apparently, he was frightened by what he said.
On the other side, Tang Yuehua took a few steps back and leaned against the stone wall, with an expression that seemed to be crying and laughing.
Tang Xiao didn't understand the reason for the sudden change in the expressions of the second elder and Tang Yuehua at first, but he was not an idiot after all. He soon thought of something, and the majestic soul power in his body began to surge and leak out uncontrollably...

————————
On the other side, here in "Tian Dou City", Master Lin is still promoting his reasoning to the outside world.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is a widely accepted view in the market.
Even some of the parties involved will be brought into this kind of thinking and generate some associations and brainstorming.
"Based on the knowledge of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of [Martial Soul Hall], he should know that Sister A Yin has reached the mature stage of transformed soul beast. Even if he kills Sister A Yin, he will not be able to obtain the hundred thousand year soul ring and the
Soul bones..."
"What's more, he was already a Titled Douluo at that time and could no longer absorb soul rings. As the Pope of the [Martial Soul Palace] with a long inheritance, he would never lack soul bones, even if it was a hundred thousand year old soul bone.
.....”
"However, he still took action, and he did not kill Tang Hao immediately... With the strength he carried at that time, he could definitely kill Tang Hao in a very short time, and would not allow Tang Hao to break through.
opportunity... I must be still worried about Tang Chen whose whereabouts are unknown! So..."
"His first goal should be to eliminate Tang Hao's chance of obtaining the ninth hundred thousand year soul ring, and this is what the [Haotian Sect] desperately desires!"
"As for whether he has a second goal, I'm not sure..."
At this point, Master Lin deliberately looked like he was hesitant to speak and stopped talking.
"Not sure?" Xue Qinghe/Qian Renxue was thinking along this inference, and asked quickly after hearing Lin Yi's words.
After all, this was related to what happened to her father in the end. Even though that father hardly gave her the paternal love she deserved, he was still better than her indifferent 'sister' who hated her.
"Brother Yi, tell me something? Let me know more about [Martial Soul Hall] and [Haotian Sect], just think of it as giving me a lesson~"
Xue Qinghe/Qian Renxue stood up, poured tea for Lin Yi, and said, "By the way, you haven't taught me a lesson in four or five months..."
"Okay~" Lin Yi nodded and said: "Then, I will tell you my guess, but..."
As he spoke, his tone increased and he warned seriously: "Absolutely don't spread the word! Otherwise, you and I may be in danger!"
"Don't worry! Brother Yi..." Xue Qinghe/Qian Renxue nodded and promised: "I will never tell anyone!"
"Yeah~" Lin Yi nodded, then leaned forward a little and whispered:
"I suspect that Qian Xunji wants to imprison Sister A Yin and find ways to threaten her in the future and become someone's ninth soul ring..."
"Someone? Who?" Xue Qinghe/Qian Renxue subconsciously narrowed her eyes and asked.
"I don't know~" Lin Yi shook his head and said softly: "But, the most likely thing is that there are two people..."
