56: Chapter 56 Baili King Kong

Xuanwu Sect.

Inside a secret chamber in the core area, four Old Men sat in a row. Opposite them sat a young man of about 20 years old, and behind the young man stood a Yellow-robed Old Man, his eyes half-closed, seemingly dozing.

“Young Master Lin, we have found a lead on that strange little boy you asked us to search for,” said the square-faced Old Man, dressed in a black Daoist robe, looking at the young man with a respectful tone.

“Oh?” Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, a look of excitement on his face, and pressed, “Sect Master Huang, have you captured that little boy?”

The square-faced Old Man was the Sect Master of Xuanwu Sect, Yellow Xuanwu, with Lie Hai Realm Late Stage strength.

Xuanwu Sect also had a Sect rule: from the moment one became the Sect Master of Xuanwu Sect, no matter what their previous name was, it had to be changed to Xuanwu.

To the left of Yellow Xuanwu sat two senile White-haired Old Men. One was slightly plump and named Supreme Elder Fang Jinsong.

The other was named Supreme Elder Xu Feiyun, short in stature, with a goatee.

Both of these Old Men were Grand Elders of Xuanwu Sect, with Lie Hai Realm Great Perfection cultivation.

To the right of Yellow Xuanwu was the Grand Elder of Xuanwu Sect, Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu, with Lie Hai Realm Late Stage cultivation.

“Not yet, but I estimate it will be soon.” After a pause, Yellow Xuanwu continued, “Young Master Lin, things wouldn't have been so troublesome, but who knew the Baili Family was unwilling to hand over the little boy and secretly sent him out of the city.”

“What’s the situation now?” Lin Yu asked anxiously.

The reason he came to Xuanwu Sect was not as he told Xia Yan, merely for carnal pleasure. In fact, it was because his Master had assigned him a task: to bring a small boy back to Tianjian Sect.

As for why this little boy needed to be brought back to Tianjian Sect, his Master didn't say, and he didn't ask. He only knew that this little boy was very strange, and he had to bring him back at all costs.

“Young Master Lin, the Baili Family has now been annihilated, but our Xuanwu Sect has also suffered significant losses. Including the three Outer Elders who were out previously, our Xuanwu Sect has lost a total of seven Elders,” Yellow Xuanwu said with a pained expression.

“Alright, I know Xuanwu Sect has paid a lot this time. As long as you bring the little boy back to me, my Master will surely reward you heavily, and your Xuanwu Sect might even advance further,” Lin Yu waved his hand. He naturally knew what Yellow Xuanwu wanted; it was nothing more than that sliver of a chance to Breakthrough to the King Sealing Realm.

“Thank you, Young Master Lin,” Yellow Xuanwu bowed in gratitude to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nodded, stood up, and left the Immortal Cave with the Yellow-robed Old Man.

After Lin Yu left, Grand Elder Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu spoke, “Sect Master, why do you think Young Master Lin is so determined to obtain that Hundred Li Jingang?”

Hundred Li Jingang was precisely that strange little boy from the Baili Family.

Yellow Xuanwu shook his head, “I’m not sure. Perhaps this Hundred Li Jingang has piqued the curiosity of some important figures in Tianjian Sect.”

“Xuanwu, does that little fellow named Hundred Li Jingang really only eat metal?” Grand Elder Supreme Elder Fang Jinsong frowned deeply and asked softly.

Yellow Xuanwu nodded, then slowly recounted the information he had received, “That’s right, I heard it’s true. When Hundred Li Jingang was born, he never drank milk. The Baili Family was frantic. Later, a maid wanted to feed him some millet porridge, but he directly ate the spoon instead.

The Baili Family was extremely anxious at the time, but after examining Hundred Li Jingang’s body, they found no abnormalities and even concluded that eating metal was beneficial for his physical growth.

As you know, the Baili Family is an Artifact Refining Family, and they are never short of various metals. However, Hundred Li Jingang’s appetite grew larger and larger, and after three or four years, he almost depleted the Baili Family’s entire fortune.

If it weren’t for a disagreement within the Baili Family, this matter wouldn’t have spread.”

“Heh, it seems this Hundred Li Jingang is truly a little monster,” Supreme Elder Xu Feiyun sneered.

“Two Grand Elders, have you ever heard of such a strange person?” Grand Elder Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu asked.

Supreme Elder Fang Jinsong and Supreme Elder Xu Feiyun exchanged glances, then both shook their heads.

“It’s a pity that little fellow has been targeted by important figures from Tianjian Sect, otherwise I really would have liked to capture him and study him thoroughly,” Supreme Elder Xu Feiyun said softly.

“Alas, it’s too late to say anything now,” Supreme Elder Fang Jinsong also sighed.

“Two Grand Elders, we shouldn't think about Hundred Li Jingang anymore. However, the Baili Family has now been crippled by us. I want to take this opportunity to annex them. What do you think?”

“You are the Sect Master, you decide,” Supreme Elder Fang Jinsong left a sentence, then his figure flickered and he disappeared directly.

Supreme Elder Xu Feiyun said nothing and also vanished in a blink of an eye.

“Sect Master, annexing the Baili Family is inevitable, after all, we lost six Elders and dozens of Disciples to defeat them.” Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu nodded, then said somewhat unhappily, “It’s just a pity that the Baili Family is probably just an empty shell now.”

“Who would have thought that old fellow Baili Changming had already Broken Through to the Lie Hai Realm Middle Stage? He forcefully killed several Elders in a surprise attack,” Yellow Xuanwu’s face was very grim. If it weren’t for the reward they could still receive from Tianjian Sect, then they would have truly suffered a great loss this time.

“Oh right, how exactly did the Third Outer Elder die when he went to Qingyang County to avenge his Disciple?” Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu asked, remembering something.

Core Disciples and Elders of the Sect would all have tracking imprints placed on them. Only the Sect Master could enter the Soul Jade Tablet Hall to activate the tracking imprints for the entire Sect.

“I’m not sure. Third Elder Wang’s Disciple was killed there, so he came to me to activate the tracking imprint, then followed it to seek revenge. He died inexplicably a few days later,” Yellow Xuanwu said in a low voice.

“Third Elder Wang is already Kai Shan Realm Great Perfection. The only people who could kill him would be those above Lie Hai Realm. But how could there be a Lie Hai Realm expert in a small place like Qingyang County? Unless Third Elder Wang ventured deep into the Wanfeng Mountain Range and encountered a powerful Yao Beast, or his own enemy made a move,” Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu frowned deeply, analyzing.

“No matter who it is, anyone who dares to kill our Xuanwu Sect people must pay the price,” Yellow Xuanwu’s face was extremely grim, and he said coldly, “Once the matter of Hundred Li Jingang is settled, I will activate the tracking imprint. I want to see who dares to attack our Xuanwu Sect people.”

“Hmm,” Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu nodded, his face also very gloomy.

Just then, Yellow Xuanwu’s communication jade tablet vibrated.

Yellow Xuanwu activated the jade tablet, and a message immediately entered his mind.

“Haha, Grand Elder, Hundred Li Jingang has been captured and is currently being escorted back to the Sect,” Yellow Xuanwu read the message and clapped his hands, laughing loudly.

“Haha!” Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu also burst into laughter.

“When the reward from Tianjian Sect arrives, we might even be able to attempt to assault the King Sealing Realm,” Yellow Xuanwu’s face was flushed with excitement.

Grand Elder Zhu Yiqiu also thought of something and trembled all over with excitement.
