"Okay, let's all get up." Xiang Shaoyun said lightly, then cut to the chase and asked, "Did Emperor Batian notice something?"
"Yes, young master, he suspected that something happened in the city and specially ordered us to come over to investigate the matter," Dong Lao responded.
"It seems that this old dog really has some tricks up his sleeve. He sensed it as soon as I arrived, but just sending you here, do you really think it's child's play?" Xiang Shaoyun sneered.
Afterwards, Xiang Shaoyun asked the two elders about the situation in the Emperor Sect. After all, knowing himself and his enemy, he would be victorious in any battle. He didn't think he could directly kill everyone in the Emperor Sect.
Mr. Dong first said, "Emperor Batian has been in seclusion for the past few years, but his actions are constant. Some strange people often appear in the Emperor Sect. We have never seen these people. They all seem to have the same surname." The relationship between 'Emperor' and Emperor Batian is not shallow."
Mr. Xia added, "This is related to the return of the Third Young Emperor to Luoyang. You killed the Eighth Young Emperor. They hated you deeply, but they seemed to be a little afraid of you and did not really pursue you again. And Or maybe they are engaged in some kind of big event and have no intention of paying attention to you for the time being."
Xiang Shaoyun held his chin and rubbed his head, thinking for a moment and said, "Is the Imperial clan behind Emperor Batian ready to surface? If this is the case, then things will be a little tricky!".
After a pause, he said to the two elders, Dong and Xia, "Go back immediately and tell them that I occupied the city lord's palace and that I killed all the Hong family members directly. I also told them that I brought back a saint from the Battle of Heaven Realm. See how they react."
The other party already knew the situation in the City Lord's Mansion. Hiding it could no longer solve the problem. So they might as well make it clear and see how Di Batian and the others responded. However, they responded to the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged, leaving the other party unclear about the depth of the situation. At the same time, you can slowly wear down the opponent's strength.
Of course, Xiang Shaoyun had other plans in mind. He didn't want the city to be destroyed.
After the two elders, Dong and Xia, left, Duoji couldn't wait to return to Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "Young Master, you... how did you do it?".
"They are already my puppets" Xiang Shaoyun responded.
After Duoji heard this, he understood everything. He no longer asked how Xiang Shaoyun controlled the two elders, Dongxia and Dong, but he believed that Xiang Shaoyun was telling the truth. He couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Young Master has really grown up. Look, There is hope for revenge this time.”
Duoji was silent for a while and said, "Young Master, most of the people in the sect are members of Emperor Batian, but there are also a small number who are still loyal to the sect master. When the time comes, please be more generous and don't kill them all!".
"Let's talk about this later!" Xiang Shaoyun obviously didn't care much about Duoji's words. In his heart, those people who betrayed him should deserve to die.
Duoji didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only act according to circumstances.
Afterwards, Xiang Shaoyun took his men and horses to lurk outside the city. Once the Emperor Sect sent people, they would definitely intercept and kill them first.
This time, Xiang Shaoyun didn't bring many people. In addition to Ye Chaomu's group, there were Xia Liuhui, Du Xuanhao, Han Potian, and the monsters brought by Xiaobai. Tuoba was left behind Wan'er, Gong Qinyin and the others were sitting in formation in the city lord's mansion.
Although the two women were unwilling, they could only obey Xiang Shaoyun's instructions. They could only wait until the decisive battle before going out together.
When the two elders, Dong and Xia, returned, they told Emperor Batian what Xiang Shaoyun had ordered, which made Emperor Batian's expression darken, and he convened a meeting of elders.
The Emperor Sect is a top seventh-grade force. Over the years, it has accumulated more and more people. There are dozens to hundreds of powerful people who have reached the Soul Platform realm. There are no less than hundreds of people with the strength of the Emperor. There are countless.
In the main hall, there were dozens of powerful men in the Soul Platform realm. They were all elders of the Emperor Sect. They all looked solemn and were waiting for Emperor Batian to speak.
"Our former young sect master Xiang Shaoyun has returned!" Di Batian said calmly.
At this moment, the expressions of most people present became excited.
They are old people from the former Purple Ling Sect, and they all know who Xiang Shaoyun is, and as traitors, they naturally have some unnatural thoughts in their hearts.
"Sect Master, were you not able to eradicate the root cause?" someone asked.
"Everything was still to be settled back then. That little bastard was escorted away, and he was indeed not killed." Someone responded on behalf of Emperor Batian, and then this person said, "But it's good that he comes back now, and I will take action to capture him. Take a good look at how this little waste jumps."
Others also spoke one after another, scolding Xiang Shaoyun to show their loyalty.
In a corner, a white-headed old man closed his eyes and meditated, but did not say anything.
This white-headed old man has a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing. He has a strong medicinal fragrance on his body. He is obviously someone who has been dealing with herbal medicines all year round. In fact, he is also the chief alchemist in the sect, known as "Yao Lao".
Xiang Shaoyun once said that the medicine soaked his body and strengthened his physique, which was the credit of this old medicine man.
"Yao Lao, what do you think? I remember that you were quite fond of that little bastard back then." A person opposite Yao Lao asked with a raised eyebrow.
This man's name was Qin Junling, and he had always been dissatisfied with Yao Lao's style. Moreover, he had repeatedly asked Yao Lao to refine some miraculous elixirs for him, but was unable to do so. He already had a grudge against Yao Lao in his heart.
Yao Lao raised his eyes and said, "No matter what, he is the young sect master!".
As soon as Yao Lao said these words, the expressions of everyone present were instantly changed. You must know that these words are taboo.
"Sect Master, you can see now that his heart is still towards that little bastard. If such an old guy is kept, he might be the first to rebel!" Qin Junling quickly pointed at Yao Lao and said.
Yao Lao heard Qin Junling's accusation and did not respond. He closed his eyes again and said, "That's just how I am."
This time, Qin Junling was really angry, and he immediately said, "Sect Master, you can't tolerate such an old guy!".
"Okay, I can understand Yao Lao being loyal to the old sect master, but the old sect master is already dead and you are still so stubborn, so let's take you into custody first," Emperor Batian said faintly.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered someone to take Yao Lao down, but Yao Lao himself did not resist. Instead, there was a trace of relief on his face.
After Yao Lao was taken down, Emperor Batian ordered: "The Qin army has ordered them to come out. I order you to bring a group of troops to the city to capture Xiang Shaoyun. I will secretly send Sage Lao to help you. Be sure to capture Xiang Shao Yun." If Yun is captured alive, he will be killed without mercy if he resists!"
"It's the sect master, I will definitely live up to the high expectations!" Qin Junling shouted in response, and then took the order to lead people to the imperial city to deal with Xiang Shaoyun.
For a time, everyone in the Emperor's Sect knew about the return of the former Young Sect Master Xiang Shaoyun, and some gossip began to spread within the Sect.
