Ling Xiao's expression was still very indifferent. Facing Elder Jin's cross-examination, he showed no signs of nervousness at all.
Because the more nervous he is, the more likely he is to say the wrong thing.
What's more, he has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. There are just some things that he has to hide for the time being.
"Let's talk about the mission first."
Ling Xiao slowly replied: "The reason why the three of them failed is actually very simple, because the three of them were not only poor in strength, but also too stupid! He knew that the Plague Demon King was good at plague and formations, but he didn't bring any anti-plague elixir.
Even if you don’t want to take medicine, you won’t invite a disciple who is good at formations to accompany you.”
"What a shameless statement. Do you think you are stronger than them?"
"That's right!"
Ling Xiao nodded, full of confidence.
"Hahaha, is this kid crazy?"
"He actually said that he is stronger than Wanyan Jun? Wanyan Jun is a peak warrior at the third level of the Transcendent Realm."
"I'm afraid I was pressed to the point that I was anxious, so I didn't know how to answer, so I started talking nonsense, right?"
After a moment, the scene erupted in laughter. These inner disciples were all elites, and the weakest ones were at the early stage of the third level of the extraordinary realm. Naturally, they looked down upon an outer disciple.
Ling Xiao ignored their ridicule and continued to answer: "As for the formation outside the door, it was indeed arranged by the disciples, but it just used the Plague Demon King's original plague bone formation. It is not difficult.
When I was in the Yuehua Sect, I learned formations from everyone in the Formation Hall, and unfortunately my talent in this area is quite good."
"I can testify to this! This man was even able to discover the flaws in Guanghan Palace's formation, and he even killed two rebels who broke into Guanghan Palace!"
Guanghan Tianzun said: "Speaking of which, the reason why Demon Flame Tianzun wanted to kill this son has a lot to do with this matter."
"Okay, even if this is true, you said that you are stronger than Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei. This is really unbelievable."
Elder Jin frowned.
"Tai Shang Elder, high cultivation level does not mean strong strength!"
Ling Xiao didn't want to explain too much, because the more he spoke, the easier it would be to expose flaws.
Now he only needs to prove that he is stronger than Wan Yanjun and is good at formations, then he can explain why he can complete the task.
As for the deaths of Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui, they are truly unconfirmed. Unless Elder Jin is too cynical and insists on pinning this crime on his head, there is no need to worry at all.
So in the final analysis, there is only one key issue now.
Is he, Ling Xiao, more powerful than Wan Yanjun, a warrior at the third level of the Transcendent Realm?
As long as it is proven that he is stronger than Wanyan Jun, then all doubts will be solved. No matter how suspicious Elder Jin and the others are, they can't hold any evidence and can't target Ling Xiao.
Don't forget, there is Guanghan Tianzun here, she will not allow Elder Jin and Elder Tu to do anything they want.
As for Jinguang Tianzun, it is obvious that he is completely neutral and does not help the two.
Shangguan Lei did not follow this time, but he had already been questioned when he was in the sect.
The Ling Xiao described by that guy was simply a powerful being comparable to the core disciples. He not only helped them a lot, but also saved him in the end. Unfortunately, the enemy was too strong, so Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui were killed.
Shangguan Lei discussed this statement with Ling Xiao, but what he said was just a bit exaggerated.
Neither of them wanted to mention Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui's betrayal of the Yuehua Sect. Although this was a fact, if the two of them poured dirty water on the dead, they would probably be despised and suspected by many people.
If you don't want to cause trouble, you can't say anything.
Originally, the senior officials of the sect were very suspicious of Shangguan Lei's words, but now Ling Xiao also said so. If Ling Xiao is really powerful and good at alchemy and formation, then it is really possible that he is as powerful as Shangguan Lei said.
.
"Tai Shang Elder, since this man is so boastful, how about letting the disciples test his strength?"
Heisuo had a grudge against Ling Xiao to begin with, and he was tortured to death by the plague bone-forming formation arranged by Ling Xiao before. He had nowhere to vent his anger.
Now that Ling Xiao has said that he is stronger than Wanyan Jun, he has seized the opportunity.
"Heisuo, you are a warrior in the early stage of the fourth level of the extraordinary realm. You are much more powerful than Wanyan Jun. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to test me, right?"
Guanghan Tianzun frowned.
"Reporting to Tianzun Guanghan, since Ling Xiao said that he can complete the task alone, it stands to reason that his strength alone should be stronger than that of Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei combined, and the disciples can only be stronger than that at most.
The three of them combined are just a little bit stronger."
Heisuo said with a smile.
"You can't say that. If three people can't unite, they may not be as powerful as one person. How can we calculate it like this?"
Guanghan Tianzun said.
"Guang Han, let's do this. I would like to make a suggestion. There is no need to let Ling Xiao defeat Heisuo. As long as he can hold on to fifty moves under Heisuo, he will pass. How about that?"
Elder Jin really doesn't believe that a mere half-step master, even if he has practiced some terrible martial arts, can really be the opponent of a warrior in the early stage of the fourth level of the extraordinary realm?
He has lived for more than two hundred years, but he has never heard of such a thing.
It was normal that he had never heard of it, because Ling Xiao was not a half-step master in the first place, he was a peak warrior at the second level of the Transcendent Realm.
He just used the template of Shanhe Martial Spirit to hide his cultivation.
"This...Ling Xiao, what do you think?"
Guanghan Tianzun looked at Ling Xiao and asked.
"As long as the elders approve it, then the disciple will have no problem!"
Ling Xiao smiled and nodded: "But do you really plan to let this Heisuo take action? Back in Yunkong City, he was the one who was defeated by me."
"That's because you used despicable means."
Every time he mentioned the past events at Baiyun Temple in Yunkong City, Heisuo felt that half of his body ached.
At that time, with his terrifying strength, he trampled all the masters of Baiyun Temple, including Master Baiyun, under his feet.
However, facing Ling Xiao, a warrior who was thought to be at the eighth level of the martial arts realm, he stumbled and almost died there.
Ling Xiao is almost his demonic obstacle and a hurdle on his road to martial arts.
He wished he could kill Ling Xiao and cut off this demonic barrier so that he could open up the barrier on his path to martial arts.
However, he did not expect that he secretly sent people to deal with Ling Xiao many times, only to be resolved by Ling Xiao one by one, which made him feel frustrated.
Even his master, Demon Flame Tianzun, was seriously injured because of this kid and is still recovering from his injuries.
"Are you despicable? When you encounter enemies outside, do you still have to pray for others to fight you face to face? It's really ridiculous. It's in vain that you are still an elite among the inner disciples."
Ling Xiao said disdainfully: "When you used your third-level cultivation in the Transcendent Realm to bully a few Martial Pulse Realm warriors, that was truly shameless and shameless. You really feel embarrassed to call others despicable."
