One day, Ling Xiao had just woken up from his cultivation when he heard that Nangong Xuan wanted to see him for something.
The sky was just getting light, the lights in the Hall of Eternal Life were on, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Ling Xiao came to the Hall of Eternal Life and saw many familiar figures.
Nangong Xuan, the Great Elder, the Law Enforcement Elder Deng Tiande and others were all present, while true disciples such as Nangong Qing, Jian Wuque, Zuo Zhen, and Deng Yalin were also in the Hall of Eternal Life.
"What happened?"
Ling Xiao's eyes moved and he asked softly.
Judging from the expressions on everyone's faces, could it be that something major has happened that concerns the life and death of Changsheng Sect
Nangong Qing explained, "Ling Xiao, something happened at my Changsheng Sect's spirit stone mine!"
"Spiritual stone mine?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed. No wonder everyone looked so solemn.
The reason why the three major sects are the three major sects is because each of the three major sects has a spirit stone mine that can produce an endless supply of spirit stones for the sect disciples to practice. It can be said that the spirit stone mine is the lifeline. If there is a problem with the spirit stone mine, then the Changsheng Sect will be in real danger!
"What's going on?" Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"The spirit stone mine of our Changsheng Sect is located in a valley in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, only a few hundred miles away from the sect. Normally, there are two elders stationed at the spirit stone mine, escorting spirit stones back to the sect every three days. But three days ago, no one escorted the spirit stones back. The sect master sent out three waves of people in these three days, but none of them returned!"
The Great Elder sighed and said solemnly.
The current Great Elder, after obtaining Ling Xiao's Seven Profound Treasure Pills, has completely consolidated his cultivation at the first level of the Grandmaster Realm, which can be regarded as adding a powerful combat force to the Changsheng Sect.
"Could it be that the Hehuan Sect is behind this?"
Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
If it was really the Hehuan Sect that did it, then the Hehuan Sect really deserves to die.
"City Lord Liu and Master Jiaomu rushed back to the capital yesterday!"
Nangong Xuan said something lightly that seemed to be irrelevant, but it made everyone in the hall look stern.
Three days ago, the reason why the Hehuan Sect surrendered was because Liu Xiongfei and Master Jiaomu were standing behind Ling Xiao. If these two had left Changsheng City, and combined with the matter of the spirit stone mine, everyone had a vague sense of conspiracy.
Could it be that the Hehuan Sect wants to take action against the Changsheng Sect
Thinking of this, many disciples looked a little ugly.
"The most urgent task is to first determine what happened to the Spirit Stone Mine. It's not necessarily the Hehuan Sect's doing! I wonder what the Sect Master is planning?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed and he looked at Nangong Xuan.
Nangong Xuan nodded and said, "Ling Xiao is right. This matter may not be done by the Hehuan Sect. I decided to let the Great Elder take some disciples to investigate. If it has nothing to do with the Hehuan Sect, then we will find a way to solve the crisis of the spirit stone mine! If it is really done by the Hehuan Sect, then we will fight to the death!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Nangong Xuan's face, and lightning seemed to shoot out of his eyes.
"The Sect Master is right! To prevent the He Huan Sect from luring the tiger away from the mountain, the Sect Master must stay in Chang Sheng Sect! I apply to go to the Lingshi Mine to investigate!"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"You want to go to the Spirit Stone Mine? No!"
Before Nangong Xuan could say anything, Nangong Qing spoke out in objection.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Nangong Qing felt that she was a little anxious. Her face flushed slightly, but she still said: "The Hehuan Sect hates you to the core. If it is really the Hehuan Sect who did it, maybe the spirit stone mine is now a trap. You will be trapped if you go there!"
The Great Elder nodded and said, "That's right, Ling Xiao, you are the Holy Son of our Changsheng Sect. You have a noble status and cannot easily go into dangerous places. It will be enough for me to take some disciples with me!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "A trap from the Hehuan Sect? I don't even take the Hehuan Sect seriously. Don't worry, Sect Master. You should understand my fighting power. Anyone below the Grandmaster level will be killed! If the people from the Hehuan Sect are blind, I don't mind giving them a lesson they will never forget!"
Ling Xiao was only at the ninth level of the Qi realm, but he said that anyone who stood in his way would be killed if they were below the Grandmaster realm. If an ordinary disciple said such words, he would have been regarded as a lunatic. However, when Ling Xiao said this, Nangong Xuan fell into deep thought.
You know, when Ling Xiao killed Lin Haoyu, he was only at the third level of True Qi Realm. Now that he has reached the ninth level of True Qi Realm, how terrifying should his combat power be
This guy's combat power cannot be measured by his cultivation level, and there are not many masters in the Hehuan Sect. If a master in the Dragon and Tiger Realm takes action, there should be no problem with Ling Xiao's combat power.
Seeing Ling Xiao so determined, Nangong Xuan finally had no choice but to agree.
The final candidates confirmed to go to the Spirit Stone Mine are: the Great Elder, two elders at the sixth level of the Dragon and Tiger Realm, Ling Xiao, Nangong Qing, Jian Wuque, Zuo Zhen and Deng Yalin!
Deng Yalin's cultivation has now broken through to the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He has become more stable and has also cultivated the Small Vajra Fist to the highest level.
"Without further delay, let's set off now!"
The Great Elder said something to everyone and immediately left the Hall of Eternal Life first.
Behind him, Ling Xiao, Nangong Qing and others followed, each using the technique of making their body lighter, and flew towards the foot of Changsheng Mountain.
Even at the Grandmaster level, there is no way to fly in the air. Only when one reaches the Heavenly Man Realm and realizes the unity of Heaven and Man, can one fly in the air.
However, although the Great Elder and Ling Xiao and his group were unable to fly, they had strong internal energy and used light skills to travel at a speed comparable to that of a galloping horse, heading all the way to the Mountain Range of Ferocious Beasts.
Among the crowd, Ling Xiao had the weakest cultivation. The Great Elder was originally worried that Ling Xiao could not keep up, but later he found that Ling Xiao followed behind him very casually and did not look like he was struggling at all.
The innate true energy diffused out and seemed to turn into clouds and mist around Lingxiao. Every step Lingxiao took was dozens of feet away. He looked very free and easy, as if he was riding on the clouds.
This is naturally Yunlong Jiuxian. Although Ling Xiao has only cultivated to the small success level, his speed alone is slightly faster than that of the average strong man in the Dragon and Tiger Realm!
Nangong Qing and the others were also extremely surprised, but considering Ling Xiao's mysteriousness, no one said anything and just tried their best to follow Ling Xiao.
The Ferocious Beast Mountain Range was extremely quiet, with no ferocious beasts roaming around. The silence even made everyone feel a little panicked.
After a few hours, the group was only twenty miles away from the spirit stone mine.
The great elder signaled for everyone to stop and rest, to recover their energy.
After traveling for such a long time, most of the people's energy has been consumed. There is a high possibility that there will be a fierce battle later, so they must maintain sufficient physical strength.
Nangong Qing and the others took the elixir, took out the spirit stones and began to recover their true energy.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Grand Elder, I will go to the Spirit Stone Mine first to explore the situation inside. We know nothing about it now. If we go there rashly, we may be ambushed!"
"You're going alone? It's too dangerous!"
The Great Elder frowned and refused immediately.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. You saw the martial arts I used just now. Even a strong man in the Dragon and Tiger Realm can't catch up with me. If the situation changes, I will retreat in time! You just wait here for the time being. I'll be back soon!"
After saying this, Ling Xiao didn't wait for the Great Elder's consent. He moved his feet and floated away like a cloud.
