C699 And Then He Went to Qing Zhou
Lin Xiao definitely could not bear the responsibility for this.
Since he and Poison Lord had already become sworn brothers, he would definitely share his fortune and share his troubles. He would leave this blame to Poison Lord first. In any case, he wasn't afraid of trouble.
"Humph, you speak so casually. Do you think we are stupid?"
"That's right. Then tell me, what did Poison Lord tell you?"
...
The Indestructible Demonic Sword and Evil Sword Bloodthirst obviously didn't believe Lin Xiao's words. They started to grumble in dissatisfaction, and continued to ask about the conversation between Lin Xiao and Poison Lord.
"You two have really hurt my heart!"
Lin Xiao put on a pained expression and said with some disappointment, "Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I hide it from you? This is clearly because Poison Lord doesn't trust you guys, that's why he wants to be on guard against you guys."
"Is that really the case?"
The Indestructible Demonic Sword looked at Lin Xiao doubtfully and continued, "Since that's the case, tell me what you and Poison Lord have said!"
"No problem! I will tell you now!"
Nodding his head, Lin Xiao said slowly, "I'm sure you all don't know. Although Poison Lord is the Deputy Sect Master of Asura Cult, he actually has a grudge with Asura Cult!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Indestructible Demonic Sword curiously asked about Poison Lord's past and continued to ask, "You have been hiding from us for so long. You are not just listening to Poison Lord's story, are you? Is there anything else? Why did you suddenly go down the mountain? "
"The Asura Cult is going to launch an invasion on the Ten Sects of the Central Region. Their first target is the External Three Sects, and they have their own spies in the External Three Sects!"
At this point, Lin Xiao's facial expression became serious. He frowned and said, "I'm going down the mountain. Of course, I'm going to the Azure Sect to tell them about this."
Apart from some secret matters, Lin Xiao had no intention of hiding anything from the Indestructible Demonic Sword. Therefore, when the Indestructible Demonic Sword asked about it, he told them everything in detail.
"Asura Cult is going to unify the Ten Sects?"
When the Indestructible Demonic Sword heard this, he said with some surprise, "It seems like the ambitions of the three hidden sects are not small! Then, are you eagerly rushing over to participate in the battle?"
"Of course, I definitely want to go!"
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said firmly, "We are now on our way to Qingzhou City. I believe it won't take long for us to reach there!"
"For Poison Lord or for a woman?"
When Evil Sword Bloodthirst heard this, he interrupted with gossip.
Regarding the matter between Lin Xiao and Xu Qingruo, Evil Sword Bloodthirst was relatively clear about it.
"Who cares about me!"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and continued, "All you need to know is that we have a tough battle coming up. We might need to deal with one Sword King and two Sword Kings from the Asura Cult."
........
In the Qingzhou City, Xu Tianchong was in an especially bad mood.
Not long ago, he had just found a spiritual pill that could cure his daughter's illness. He had never thought that before his daughter's illness could be fully cured, the Azure Sect would face a disaster of destruction.
This disaster didn't originate from anyone else, but from his old neighbor, the Divine Sect.
The External Three Sects, the Azure Sect of Qingzhou Prefecture, the Divine Sect of Divine Continent, and the Sea Sect of Yue Province. The Azure Sect was located to the north of the east. The Divine Sect was located to the east, while the Sea Sect was located to the south of the east.
Generally speaking, Divine Sect was located between the other two major sects, and the three of them were working together. The Divine Sect was also the link.
Of course, in terms of strength, the Divine Sect was the undisputed number one amongst the three major sects. There was still a gap between the strength of Qingzhou Prefecture and the Sea Sect compared to the Divine Sect.
Not long ago, when the Holy Son of Divine Sect came to the Qingzhou City to ask Xu Qingruo for a marriage, it was rejected by Xu Tianchong decisively. This matter was known by many people.
However, with the relationship of the External Three Sects, it was unlikely that they would fall out with each other for the sake of a marriage. However, the problem was that when the Holy Son returned to the Divine Sect, it was assassinated and killed in the territory of the Qingzhou Prefecture!
This caused the Divine Sect to fly into a rage!
The Azure Sect rejecting their marriage alliance was originally to give them face. Now that their Holy Son had died in the territory of the Qingzhou Prefecture, the Azure Sect could not escape responsibility!
The people of the Divine Sect even suspected that the culprit was Lin Xiao.
Xu Tianchong felt helpless about this. Based on his understanding of Lin Xiao, although Lin Xiao was a little arrogant and domineering, he wouldn't do such a thing without a proper sense of propriety.
But now, the Divine Sect was pressing on him step by step, causing Xu Tianchong to feel helpless.
After all, the Divine Sect was the strongest amongst the three major sects. Their Azure Sect wasn't a match for the Divine Sect, but to force him to hand Lin Xiao over without any evidence, this was bullying the weak!
Furthermore, Lin Xiao had already left the Qingzhou City, and no one could hand him over to Xu Tianchong.
Under such circumstances, Xu Tianchong was unable to complete the task given to him by the Sect Master of the Divine Sect. He could only apologize to the Divine Sect and tell them that it wasn't Lin Xiao who had done it.
However, the Divine Sect wouldn't let this go. They kept pressing on him, making even more unreasonable demands!
This had put the Azure Sect in a very difficult situation. What Xu Tianchong couldn't bear was the betrayal of the Sea Sect.
In the External Three Sects, the Divine Sect was the strongest sect. The Azure Sect and the Sea Sect were at a disadvantage. Therefore, under such circumstances, the relationship between the Azure Sect and the Sea Sect was naturally closer. In the previous life-and-death battle, the Azure Sect had never forgotten about the Sea Sect after winning the battle. They had given the Sea Sect a huge amount of resources.
However, what Xu Tianchong didn't expect was that the Sea Sect had chosen to betray them and join the Divine Sect in this matter. They even helped the Divine Sect coerce the Azure Sect.
This made Xu Tianchong feel helpless. It could even be said that he was under a lot of pressure.
Just as Xu Tianchong was sitting in the main hall, worrying about how to face the current situation, his subordinates walked in once again. With a gloomy expression, they said, "Sect Master, the people from the Divine Sect and the Sea Sect have come again. They want to see you."
"Since they are here, let them come. I would like to see what they have to say."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianchong lightly sighed, and said with some helplessness and anger.
"Yes!"
The old man nodded his head, turned around and walked out. Soon, he brought a group of people with him. The two leading men were Vice Sect Leader, Song Wei of Divine Sect, and Vice Sect Leader of Sea Sect, Nie Qing.
Both of them were well-known figures in their respective sects. Even when facing Xu Tianchong, they didn't give him much face. They asked straightforwardly, "Sect Master Xu, how's the preparation of the things we talked about?"
Their tone was cold and arrogant, showing no sign of respect.
This made Xu Tianchong very unhappy.
