After a night of trial, including Feng Qingxue and Ouyang Shaogong, a total of 16 people passed the demon-slaying trial and officially entered the Heaven's Wall City. They obtained the inheritance of the Star Reserve and could become inner disciples after three months of cultivation. However, Yang Xiao brought Baili Tusu and Zhao Lin to find the Sect Master, Perfected Hansu, and reported the unexpected appearance of the Mushroom Bird in the Emerald Martial Palace.
"How is this possible?" When Perfected Hansu heard this news, she was immediately shocked and quickly said in surprise,"After the Guhuo Bird was subdued by Ling Yue and the Heaven's Wall City disciples, it has been sealed in the Demon Forbidden Cave at the back of the mountain.”
Yang Xiao sneered and said,"Supreme Headmaster, why don't you send someone to the Demon Forbidden Cave to investigate and see if the Guhuo Bird sealed in the Demon Forbidden Cave is still there?"”
Knowing that this matter was no small matter, Perfected Hansu immediately ordered her eldest disciple Ling Duan to go to the Demon Forbidden Cave to investigate this matter. Ling Duan was shocked and pretended to go to the Demon Forbidden Cave at the back of the mountain. After returning, he braced himself and replied,"Master, the Mushroom Bird sealed in the Demon Forbidden Cave has disappeared.”
Perfected Hansu was shocked and quickly asked,""How could this be?"
Ling Duan's legs went soft and he almost knelt down. Fortunately, he still had some plans in his heart. With a thought, he immediately replied,"Could it be that Eldest Senior Brother Ling Yue didn't seal the Mushroom Bird properly before he left the mountain?”
"Ling Duan, don't spout nonsense!" Hearing this, Baili Tusu could not help but be furious.
Seeing this, Yang Xiao was afraid that he would be too angry and trigger the reaction of the Solitary Fire. He quickly stretched out a hand and pressed it on his shoulder. He said indifferently,"Ling Yue is the eldest disciple of True Man Ziyin. Not to mention his deep cultivation, he is also calm in dealing with things. He has always been cautious and rigorous in doing things. I don't think there will be such a mistake.”
"That's right." Perfected Hansu nodded.”
When Ling Duan heard this, he could not help but become extremely anxious. He hurriedly said,"Master, Eldest Senior Brother Ling Yue has recruited many demons over the years, and they are all locked in the Demon Forbidden Cave. Sometimes, it is inevitable that some mistakes will happen.”
"Ling Duan!" At this moment, a delicate voice suddenly sounded. A beautiful young lady walked into the hall with an indignant expression. She said,"Shut up! Don't think that you can slander Eldest Senior Brother Ling Yue just because he's not here!”
" Junior Sister Lotus, I…" When Ling Duan saw who it was, he immediately lost his spirit, but he did not dare to relent."I'm just telling the truth!"
"Anyways, no matter what, I won't allow you to slander Eldest Senior Brother!" Lotus said angrily.”
"Lotus." Reverend Hansu called out to her daughter in a deep voice and then said to Yang Xiao,"Deacon, what do you think we should do about this matter?”
Yang Xiao said helplessly," Now that the clues have been cut off, let's put it aside for now. When Ling Yue returns, we will start investigating this matter. After all, the Demon Forbidden Cave is an important place in the Heaven's Wall City. There are many powerful demons sealed inside. If they often run out in the future, won't they greatly disturb the peace of our Heaven's Wall City?”
"That's right. Let's wait until Ling Yue returns!" Perfected Hansu said.”
Ling Duan thought that he would be able to escape this calamity, but he did not expect that it would end up like this. He would wait for Ling Yue to come back and investigate further. What would he do if he found out?
On the side, Zhao Lin was already so scared that his face was pale.
As everyone left the hall, Lotus looked at Yang Xiao curiously. After a while, she finally couldn't help but ask,""I heard my father call you a deacon. Could it be that you're Senior Brother Yang Xiao, who was personally appointed as the deacon of the Sword Pavilion by the Sword-Holding Elder eight years ago?”
Looking at this cute and beautiful girl who loved Ling Yue wholeheartedly, he could not help but sigh. The world he lived in had long been materialistic and it was rare to see such a devoted girl. However, when he thought of her and Ling Yue's ending, he could not help but sigh.
Might as well... Help her?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiao smiled and replied,"If there is no second Yang Xiao in this Heaven's Wall City, then it will be me.”
Lotus widened her eyes and asked excitedly,""Then aren't you very powerful? I heard from them and Eldest Senior Brother that you're very powerful.”
" Uh." Cold sweat dripped down Yang Xiao's forehead. He laughed and teased,""Then what do you think? Am I amazing?”
Lotus glared at him. Why don't we have a competition?"
Yang Xiao was speechless. Although Fu Qu was the sect leader's disciple, her cultivation was only comparable to Zhao Lin's, at the peak of the Foundation Building realm. He, a great expert comparable to a Heaven Immortal, was going to compete with a young girl who had not even formed the Primordial Spirit. If word got out, he would be embarrassed!
However, Zhao Lin quietly tugged on Lotus's sleeve and whispered,""Junior Sister, Senior Brother Yang Xiao has extraordinary talent. After eight years of closed-door cultivation, his cultivation is much stronger than Eldest Senior Brother Ling Yue. You're definitely not his match.”After that, he briefly recounted how he had seen Yang Xiao kill the Guhuo Bird with a single sword strike last night, which greatly surprised Fuqu. She had never expected Yang Xiao's cultivation to be so profound.
At this moment, Ouyang Shaogong seemed to have thought of something. He smiled at Zhao Lin and said,"Right, speaking of this matter, I have to thank this senior brother for coming to the rescue last night.”
Hearing this, Baili Tusu immediately reacted. He frowned and asked,"Senior Brother Zhao Lin, I haven't asked you yet. Why are you in the Emerald Martial Palace in the middle of the night?”
Hearing this, Zhao Lin's expression could not help but change. For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
At this moment, Ling Duan, who had followed everyone out of the hall, could not help but feel anxious. Seeing Zhao Lin's helpless appearance, he hurriedly said,"I think Zhao Lin must be worried that this is your first time carrying out a mission, so he specially rushed over to help!”
Zhao Lin wasn't stupid. Secretly releasing a demon spirit was no small matter. Even if he was an accomplice, he would be severely punished if others found out. He immediately nodded and agreed,"Yes, I thought that although Junior Martial Brother Tusu is a disciple of the Sword Elder and has a high cultivation, it is still the first time he has carried out such a task of supervising a disciple's trial. Therefore, I was a little worried and went to the Emerald Martial Palace. I didn't expect that Senior Martial Brother Yang Xiao was also there.”
"Is that so?" Baili Tusu looked at Zhao Lin suspiciously. He felt that there was something wrong with Zhao Lin and Ling Duan, but he couldn't say anything without evidence.
Ouyang Shaogong couldn't help but laugh."It seems that Senior Brother Zhao Lin must be particularly concerned about Senior Brother Tu Su. Presumably, the friendship between the two of you is not bad, right?”
"That's right!" Feng Qingxue agreed.
Zhao Lin secretly cried out in his heart. Baili Tusu's gaze at him became more and more unfriendly, and Ling Duan's heart was even more uneasy, unable to control himself.
When Yang Xiao saw this, he shook his head and said,"Alright, didn't I already tell the Supreme Headmaster just now? This matter will end here for the time being. We'll investigate when Ling Yue comes back. Moreover, the new disciples still need to be settled. This is also an important matter that can't be delayed.”
When Ling Duan heard this, he immediately pulled Zhao Lin and said,""Leave the matter of settling the new disciples to me and Zhao Lin. There's no need to trouble Lord Deacon and Junior Brother Tu Su.”
Zhao Lin felt guilty in his heart and did not dare to face Baili Tusu and Yang Xiao directly. He immediately replied,"Yes, the Supreme Headmaster has already handed this matter to us to handle.”
Baili Tusu still wanted to say something, but Yang Xiao had already stopped him and casually said,"Since that's the case, you guys can go and do your work.”
After everyone bid farewell to each other, Yang Xiao brought Baili Tusu back to the Heaven Breaking Pavilion. When he saw Baili Tusu's unwilling expression, he said,""I know, and you also know that releasing demon spirits without permission is a crime. But don't forget, we don't have any evidence. However, don't worry, this matter won't drag on forever. The show has just begun!”
Baili Tusu looked at Yang Xiao suspiciously, but he did not get the answer he wanted. With a loud laugh, Yang Xiao went straight to the depths of the Heaven Breaking Pavilion where True Man Ziyin was in seclusion.
