When Ling Xiao mentioned the legendary senior inadvertently, the expressions of the four masters instantly became like dark clouds.
Their faces were like jade that had been carved over time, and now they were even more gloomy.
They were wearing robes embroidered with the sect's logo, and their originally gorgeous and solemn clothes seemed a little heavy at this moment.
They couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts, this Ling Xiao boy was really cunning. If that senior really took action, not only would the four of them be ridiculed as incompetent by the world, but the entire Tianxia Society might also face an unprecedented crisis.
Among them, the Grand Master remained silent, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he could ride the wind at any time.
At this moment, his brows were furrowed and helpless light flashed in his eyes. Finally, he sighed deeply and broke the silence: "Deacon Zhang, it is indeed your fault in this matter. Please compensate, three million middle-grade spirits
Stone, give it to him."
Deacon Zhang was stunned when he heard what the Grand Master said. At this moment, he seemed to be frozen and unable to move.
These three million mid-grade spiritual stones were an astronomical figure to him. He couldn't believe that this was actually the result of Ling Xiao's deliberate blackmail of the trading house.
But the Grand Master, this normally dignified and thoughtful elder, actually agreed to Ling Xiao's request so easily.
Deacon Zhang looked at the Grand Master with doubts and confusion in his heart. He didn't understand why the Grand Master would make such a decision. Is he really afraid of the senior's action? Or is there some other secret?
"You heard that right..." The Grand Master's voice was low and firm, as if he had irresistible power.
He did not answer Deacon Zhang's questions directly, but chose the method of secret transmission to convey his thoughts and worries to Deacon Zhang. He told Deacon Zhang that the senior's strength was unfathomable. If he really annoyed
If you lose him, the consequences will be disastrous.
Moreover, this senior is inextricably linked to Tianxiahui. If this affects the relationship between the two parties, it will be a huge blow to Tianxiahui. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only temporarily compromise and compensate Ling
Xiao three million middle-grade spiritual stones.
After listening to the secret transmission from the Grand Master, Deacon Zhang finally understood the reason. Although he was still unwilling to accept it, he also understood that this was the best solution at present. He sighed deeply and accepted it silently.
of this fact.
"Is this true?" After hearing what the Grand Master said, Deacon Zhang's originally nervous expression instantly became solemn. His face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was under tremendous pressure.
.
Da Zhangyuan sighed slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of helplessness and depth.
He spoke slowly, with a hint of reproach and reassurance in his voice: "Deacon Zhang, this matter is absolutely true and not half false. Why do you think we protect that young man so much? It's precisely because there is something behind him that we have to pay attention to.
background.”
After hearing this, Deacon Zhang felt even more upset in his heart.
He frowned and asked: "But the Grand Master Courtyard, that is three million middle-grade spiritual stones! Such a huge amount, even if it is placed in our trading house, it is a huge expense. How can I, a small deacon, dare to
Making the decision without permission?"
After hearing this, the Grand Master showed a look of understanding on his face.
He gently patted Deacon Zhang on the shoulder and comforted him: "Deacon Zhang, you don't have to worry too much. I have my own sense of responsibility for this matter, and I will personally explain the situation to your family head. You just need to stay out of it and don't get too involved in this matter."
I will solve this problem for you."
"Okay..." Deacon Zhang's voice revealed helplessness and heaviness, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
He glanced at Ling Xiao coldly, and in those deep eyes, various emotions were intertwined. Murderous intent surged like an undercurrent, fear weighed like dark clouds, but more than anything, there was an indescribable confusion.
He really couldn't understand how this little-known young man who had just joined the sect found such a powerful backer.
Ling Xiao stood in front of him with a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. This made Deacon Zhang feel even more uneasy. He felt as if he was being pulled by an invisible force towards a place.
The unknown abyss.
Recalling the words of the Grand Master, Deacon Zhang's heart became even heavier.
If the legendary terrifying powerful man in the cemetery really exists, and if he really kills the leader of the Tiger clan, then this will undoubtedly be a huge threat to the Zhang family.
Although the Zhang family has a certain status in the sect, facing such a powerful person, they are as insignificant as ants.
Reluctantly, Deacon Zhang had no choice but to go to the trading house and take out the three million middle-grade spiritual stones.
These spiritual stones were piled up like a mountain in the trading house, and each piece shone with an alluring light. However, in the eyes of Deacon Zhang at this moment, they were like hot potatoes, making him feel extremely heavy.
How could he take out so many spiritual stones from his pocket? These spiritual stones are also a huge wealth for him. But at this point, he can only blame the trading house for this amount.
.
After all, all this was caused by the dispute between the trading house and Ling Xiao.
When Deacon Zhang handed the spirit stone to Ling Xiao, his heart was full of unwillingness and helplessness. Looking at the indifferent smile on Ling Xiao's face, he felt even more mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that he had lost, and he had lost completely.
"I hope you can take these spiritual stones with peace of mind!" The moment Deacon Zhang turned to leave, the anger in his heart was like a ignited volcano. He gritted his teeth and threatened Ling Xiao in a low voice.
He almost squeezed out these words, as if every word was like ice squeezed out from between his teeth, biting the bone. He felt that his chest was filled with aggrievedness, as if being driven by an invisible force.
The tight restraint made him unable to breathe.
Ling Xiao just smiled slightly, his eyes shining with determination, as if everything was as he expected. He didn't take Deacon Zhang's threat seriously, and even showed a bit of contempt.
He knew that since he dared to offend these people, he was already prepared to face their revenge. The corner of his mouth curled up, as if to say: "Go ahead, what do I, Ling Xiao, have to fear?"
The Grand Master witnessed all this from the side. He sighed and frowned as he watched Deacon Zhang disappear.
He turned to Ling Xiao and said earnestly: "Ling Xiao, although you have taken advantage of this, you have also offended the Zhang family, one of the four major families of the Tianxiahui. They are powerful and ruthless, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
ah."
Ling Xiao glanced at the Grand Master indifferently, his eyes revealing a sense of fearlessness and determination.
