The great elder was so excited that he shouted in anger in public.
The originally bustling square suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was filled with astonishment and looked at the great elder in disbelief.
The other seven elders were also dumbfounded. They all looked at the elder in stunned silence and couldn't help but ask questions.
"What's going on? Has the ancestral magical power been stolen?"
"How is this possible? The Ascension Sky Scripture has always been kept by the Great Elder, and there has never been a mistake for hundreds of years!"
"This matter is too serious and must be thoroughly investigated! If a member of our clan really dares to steal, I will be the first to not let him go!"
"Yes! No matter which house this person belongs to, what his background or reasons are, we will never tolerate him!"
The elders were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to send people to investigate, vowing to severely punish those who stole the magic power.
The thousands of Xiao people in the square were also full of doubts and shock. They found it incredible and started talking among themselves in whispers.
The great elder quickly suppressed his anger and said with a face as cold as ice: "You guys wait here, I'm going to check the situation now!"
After that, he took the guard captain and flew through the night sky as fast as lightning and rushed back to his residence.
After the great elder left, the seven elders in the arena gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Thousands of people in the square also talked more intensely, exclaiming from time to time, and some people cursed angrily.
Everyone understands that this matter is too serious.
Once it is confirmed that the ancestral magical power has been stolen, the Xiao clan will definitely set off a storm.
Even if they dig three feet into the ground, the Xiao clan will find the person who stole the magical power and punish him with death!
In the crowded crowd, Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke dealt with their injuries silently, but their eyes occasionally glanced at Ji Tianxing in the distance.
Both of them had a playful sneer hidden in their eyes.
Compared with the great drama that is about to come, the humiliation and failure they have suffered before are nothing.
The two of them were calm on the surface, but sneered in their hearts, looking forward to the scene where Ji Tianxing was sentenced to death!
Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour passed.
The great elder returned to the square with the captain of the guard, his face ashen.
The noisy square immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at the great elder.
The Great Elder was wrapped in a layer of cold air and murderous intent, and he shouted in a cold tone: "I have just investigated and found that the Ascension Sky Sutra that has been stored in the secret room has indeed been stolen.
The Feathering Sky Sutra is a soul-level skill created by our ancestors, and it is also the magic skill and capital for our Xiao clan to settle down and live in peace!
Nowadays, some people are stealing the ancestral magic skills. Such acts of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors are really shocking and have not happened in hundreds of years!
I don’t need to say more about the seriousness of this matter, everyone understands it.”
The great elder's majestic voice spread throughout the square.
His tone was very low, cold, and contained cold murderous intent.
Everyone felt a deep chill, with deep awe in their hearts, and looked at the great elder with solemn expressions.
The great elder swept the whole place with lightning eyes and said in a deep voice: "The incident happened yesterday or today. The traitor who stole the ancestral magic power may be in the square!
I now give you a chance to repent and rehabilitate. If you take the initiative to stand up and plead guilty, I can give you a lighter sentence and spare your life!
If you don’t cherish this opportunity and refuse to plead guilty, when I find out the results, you will be sentenced to death!!”
The mighty sound spread and echoed fiercely in the night sky.
The dull sound made the entire mountaintop tremble.
The great elder's majestic pressure shook everyone's bodies, and deep awe and fear arose in their hearts.
For a time, countless people lowered their heads, feeling uneasy in their hearts and not even daring to whisper.
Only Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke, Xiao Zhan and others had even more sneers in their eyes.
The more angry and irritable the great elder becomes, the more proud they become.
Everyone in the square was silent, no one said a word.
Ji Tianxing also stood in the crowd with a calm expression, waiting for things to develop.
Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke and others secretly saw his reaction and sneered even more proudly in their hearts.
"Huh! This kid is still in the dark and doesn't know anything!"
"Little beast, I really want to see how you react later, whether you will cry out of fear on the spot!"
"Ignorant boy, you probably don't know that you are already in disaster, right?"
The great elder waited for a moment, and when he saw that no one in the square came forward to confess his crime, he sneered on his face.
He said murderously: "Okay! Damn traitor, since you don't want to cherish this opportunity, don't blame me for being ruthless!
The treasure box that stores the Ascension Cupid Sutra is sealed by me, and there is also my soul aura.
I will be able to retrieve the treasure box and find out the truth later, and you will be dead by then!
Now, everyone can report each other and expose whoever has entered my house in the past two days and who has behaved strangely!
As long as the identity of the traitor is confirmed, the corresponding informant will be rewarded with one hundred thousand spirit stones and a soul-level magic weapon!"
When the Great Elder finished speaking, thousands of people in the square suddenly became excited.
Almost everyone looked shocked, their expressions and eyes full of disbelief and surprise.
"One hundred thousand spiritual stones, one soul-level magic weapon, is this too exaggerated?"
"This is simply a trump card! Such a generous reward is enough to make people lose their minds!"
"The great elder's move is absolutely amazing! The traitor who stole the ancestral magic skill is doomed!"
"Report! Great Elder, I want to expose the traitor!"
"I want to report it too!"
Almost a moment later, more than a dozen Xiao clan members rushed out of the crowd, came under the ring, and reported to the great elder.
The Great Elder looked at everyone with majestic eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "It is okay to report and expose, but if anyone maliciously accuses others, I will not spare him!"
Most of the dozen or so excited Xiao clan members immediately calmed down, shrank their necks in fear, and quickly retreated into the crowd.
There were only a few people left who were dazzled by the generous rewards and shouted excitedly: "Great Elder! Ergouzi from the eighth room... Oh no, it's Xiao Erzhuang. He sneaked into Evergreen Mountain last night.
Yes! I suspect that he stole the ancestral magic!"
"Great Elder! Xiao Jinyu from the fourth room sneaked into the back mountain this morning, and his whereabouts were sneaky..."
The faces of the two Xiao clan members who were exposed by the accusation suddenly changed dramatically, and they were so frightened that they quickly jumped out to defend themselves.
"Great Elder! What an injustice! I, Xiao Ergou... No, I, Xiao Erzhuang, will never steal magical powers. I came to Changqing Mountain last night just to have a tryst with Xiao Cui!"
"Great Elder! I was wronged too. I was in the back mountain this morning to discuss life with Xiao Cheng from the fifth room!"
The scene was chaotic for a while, but the person who reported the report spoke plausibly and conclusively.
The person who was reported was so frightened that he did not care about privacy or face, and exposed the truth in public just to clear away the suspicion.
When the great elder saw the chaos among the people, his face turned livid with anger and he scolded several Xiao clan disciples.
Those who reported and were exposed were driven away by the guards.
Seeing it, the square became quiet again, and no one dared to stand out at will.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a burly stature and a majestic bearing stepped over the crowd and stepped onto the ring.
This person was Xiao Zhan. He walked up to the great elder, bowed his hands and said, "To the great elder, I know that there is a person who has most likely stolen the ancestral magic!"
This person was brought back by Xiao Han from the third room, and his name is Xiao Tianxing!
He is not a member of our family, but a descendant of a branch lineage, Xiao Han's nephew.
This person has mixed up with the Xiao clan and has evil intentions, and his intentions are to be punished!"
