The young man in black robe slowly scanned the audience, his dark eyes as sharp as a sword, making people dare not look at him.
Everyone's heart is beating crazily.
"Lin...Lin Xiao!"
"He's back, he's actually back!"
Everyone in the ancestral hall stared wide-eyed, more unbelievable than seeing a ghost.
Lin Xiao has been missing for four years.
At such a critical moment, he appeared in front of everyone like a god.
Lin Xiao ignored everyone's surprised looks. He came to the center of the ancestral hall and looked at Lin Changyuan directly in front of him.
A moment.
There were actually tears shining in Lin Xiao's eyes.
What kind of majesty is there to look down upon the common people?
What a thousand-year vision that has gone through vicissitudes of life.
At this moment, everything turned into nothingness.
At this moment, Lin Xiao is just a wanderer who has returned home with his family again.
"The child is unfilial and has made his father suffer." Lin Xiao knelt down heavily, feeling a surge of guilt in his heart.
It had only been four years since he left Qingyang City, but Lin Changyuan's temples were already stained white with frost, and in addition to being weak, there were only a few wrinkles on his face.
Obviously, Lin Changyuan has been missing Lin Xiao for the past four years.
It was this longing that made his temples white and wrinkled.
"Silly boy, as long as you come back, all these hardships will mean nothing." Lin Changyuan stretched out his hand to help Lin Xiao up, with a smile on his face.
Beside him, the great elder also showed a happy smile when he saw this scene.
In the four years since Lin Xiao disappeared, he had never seen Lin Changyuan smile. No one expected that today, Lin Xiao would suddenly come back and save Jiange's crisis.
"Impossible, you are obviously dead, how can you come back alive!"
Ye Tong's exclamation interrupted the warm reunion between father and son. He pointed tremblingly at Lin Xiao, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and shook his head crazily.
"It seems that my appearance has disappointed you." Lin Xiao looked at Ye Tong coldly and sneered: "Thankfully, I brought a special gift to give to the second elder."
Gift?
Ye Tong frowned.
Before I could ask any questions, at this time, there was a commotion outside the ancestral hall. Countless disciples opened their mouths and gave way to a passage in a tacit understanding.
But at the end of the passage, a figure appeared.
To be precise, it should be a figure covered in blood and shaped like a meat ball, falling to the ground, crawling towards the ancestral hall inch by inch, looking as embarrassed as possible.
"Kumokawa!"
Ye Yunshan recognized Ye Yunchuan at a glance. He picked up Ye Yunchuan and roared to the sky: "Who is it? Who did it? I will never let him go!"
Ye Tong's eyes were also red at this time, and his whole body was radiating a chill.
He suddenly looked at Lin Xiao, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiao took the initiative and said: "I cut off Ye Yunchuan's arms, and I also destroyed his Dantian. It was done in one go, without any sloppiness."
Ding!
Ye Tong and Ye Yunshan's hearts trembled, and at the same time, the bodies of everyone present also trembled.
Lin Xiao's answer was so direct that he almost didn't take Ye Tong and Ye Yunshan seriously.
After a pause, Lin Xiao said calmly: "As soon as I returned to Jiange, Ye Yunchuan tried to molest Xiyao and plotted against me. According to the rules of the sect, he should have his arms cut off and his Dantian abolished."
"You two, you just kept saying that you wanted to inherit Jiange. Don't you even know the rules of Jiange?"
The sound of ridicule resounded inside and outside the ancestral hall, reaching deep into everyone's heart.
All the Jiange disciples were excited and felt their blood was ignited. They looked at Lin Xiao with admiration.
Lin Xiao is indeed the number one genius in Qingyang City, he is so crazy and domineering.
This is the real candidate for cabinet leader!
"When the king returns, the storm will surely rise, and the day when the sword pavilion will regain its glory is finally coming."
"Only a genius like Lin Xiao can revitalize Jiange."
A group of Jiange disciples said with great excitement, completely ignoring Ye Yunshan who was standing aside. After all, compared to Lin Xiao, Ye Yunshan was nothing.
"Dad, brother, please help me take revenge. Take advantage of Lin Xiao's lost cultivation and kill him as soon as possible." Ye Yunchuan glared at Lin Xiao with resentment, wishing that Lin Xiao would die in front of him.
"What did you say?" Ye Tong's eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately looked towards Lin Xiao.
Sure enough, Lin Xiao's body had no Yuan Power fluctuations, let alone Yuan Vein aura, and he was even worse than the weakest disciple of Jiange.
The disciples of Jiange also heard what Ye Yunchuan said.
They all looked at Lin Xiao one after another, and then they all showed strong expressions of disappointment.
Four years ago, Lin Xiao showed great talent and deservedly became the number one genius in Qingyang City. He wanted to inherit Jiange, and no one dared to say no.
But today, four years later, Lin Xiao's cultivation level has not even reached the first level of pulse condensation.
To put it nicely, he is an ordinary person.
To put it bluntly, he is a waste.
"Lin Xiao, do you think you are still the genius you were four years ago? You are just a waste now." Ye Yunshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, the chill in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Lin Changyuan also looked at Lin Xiao, worry suddenly welling up on his face.
Four years ago, faced with the situation at hand, Lin Changyuan would naturally not be worried. However, with Lin Xiao's current cultivation level, there was no way he could compete with Ye Yunshan and Ye Tong.
After all, the former's strength has reached the sixth level of pulse condensation, and the latter has won over most of the sword pavilion elders.
"My brother has been missing for four years. Even though his cultivation level has regressed, so what? With his talent, he can quickly improve his cultivation level. He is the candidate for the pavilion master."
Lin Xiyao shouted coldly at Ye Yunshan. Compared to the fat and ugly Ye Yunchuan, Ye Yunshan was even more disgusting, especially with his condescending face.
"For a warrior, talent is the most important. As long as the talent is there, cultivation is only a matter of time." The Great Elder immediately agreed, and he chose to believe in Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao can indeed practice again, but how can I let him return to the top!" Ye Yunshan secretly thought in his heart. He walked up to Lin Xiao, and the long sword on his waist was already humming.
A mysterious sword energy spread out, preparing to kill Lin Xiao directly with lightning speed.
"interesting."
Lin Xiao instantly sensed Ye Yunshan's murderous intention. Not only was he not afraid, he also took the initiative to take a step forward.
Even though he has no cultivation now, relying on his superb swordsmanship, he will not be afraid of Ye Yunshan.
The two people's eyes collided.
In an instant, it seemed as if the entire ancestral hall had become a little colder, making many people's hair stand on end.
Just when Ye Yunshan was about to take action, without any warning, Ye Tong stood up behind him.
"Since you believe in Lin Xiao so much, well, in seven days, which happens to be four years, let him and Yunshan have a showdown. The winner will become the successor of Jiange."
Hearing Ye Tong's words, Ye Yunshan turned around suddenly and looked at Ye Tong in surprise.
"Although Lin Xiao has no cultivation, his reputation is still there. Moreover, the four-year period has not yet come. If he is killed now, it will probably cause countless disputes. Even if he inherits the sword pavilion in the future, there will be criticism.
.”
Ye Tong met Ye Yunshan's gaze and said secretly: "Instead of doing this, it is better to let him live for a few more days. In seven days, during the battle in the arena, you will not only be able to kill Lin Xiao, but you can also legitimately become a candidate for the pavilion master."
people."
At the end of the sentence, Ye Tong's eyes also filled with ferocious killing intent.
Ye Yunchuan's arms were cut off and his cultivation was destroyed. Why didn't he want to kill Lin Xiao to vent his anger?
However, these have become facts.
Just as what he said in his message, what Ye Tong really cares about is how to get the Jiange justifiably.
As for Lin Xiao, in his eyes, he was already a dead person.
"Ye Tong, you are trying to force someone to do something difficult for you!" Lin Changyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed directly.
It should be noted that Lin Xiao's current cultivation base has been completely lost and he is no different from ordinary people. On the other hand, Ye Yunshan is already at the sixth level of pulse condensation and has a huge strength of 600 kilograms. The gap between the two is huge and there is no way for them to fight.
Although there are only seven days, what can be accomplished in seven days!
"Seven days, seven days, the matter is settled." Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to support Lin Changyuan, looked at Ye Tong and Ye Yunshan indifferently, and said casually: "I hope you won't regret it after seven days."
"this……"
Lin Xiao's answer immediately caused all the Jiange disciples to fall into silence.
They all knew clearly that the seven-day fight was intended to embarrass Lin Xiao. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao not only agreed, but also told Ye Tong and Ye Yunshan not to regret it.
Could it be that in the past four years, Lin Xiao not only regressed in cultivation, but also became insane?
Not to mention these Jiange disciples and elders, even the Great Elder and Lin Xiyao showed surprised expressions, thinking that they were hearing hallucinations.
"Xiao'er, don't be reckless in this matter." Lin Changyuan frowned at Lin Xiao.
"Father, don't worry." Lin Xiao smiled faintly and shrugged: "In seven days, let alone the sixth level of pulse condensation, I am sure to defeat even a person in the vitality realm."
As soon as the words fell, there was an instant silence inside and outside the ancestral hall.
Pairs of eyes around him looked at Lin Xiao as if he were an idiot.
A person with no cultivation will defeat Ye Yunshan, who is at the sixth level of pulse condensation, in seven days. He said with a nonchalant expression that he can defeat even a master in the vitality realm.
This is so shameless.
"As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased. Let's meet at the Martial Arts Square in seven days." Ye Tong laughed unbridled. He looked at Lin Xiao coldly, waved his sleeves, and immediately left the ancestral hall.
Seeing Ye Tong turn around and leave, Ye Yunshan hugged Ye Yunchuan and left quickly.
Ye Yunchuan's arms were cut off and his Dantian was destroyed. He had already lost too much blood. If he is rescued now, he should still be able to save his life.
However, his life is over, and I'm afraid living will be more uncomfortable than dying.
After these three people left, other elders and Jiange disciples also left the ancestral hall one after another.
When leaving, many people were sighing.
Obviously, they all felt that Lin Xiao would be defeated by Ye Yunshan in seven days, and the identity of the candidate for the Pavilion Master would eventually fall on Ye Yunshan!
