Chapter 2388: Chapter 2391: Encircled by the Mountain: The Overbearing Sha Clan Martial Artists

In Lin Ruoxian’s eyes, the young man’s every step shone brightly, rising like a meteor.

Until today, he shockingly killed the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain.

This strength, although it may not surpass hers, is already very close to her level.

"Perhaps this is what a true genius is, not someone ordinary like us can compare to."

Lin Ruoxian had seen many geniuses, but she had never encountered anyone comparable to Ling Xiao.

Even Ling Yan, who once made Eight Immortals Mountain stand proudly among the strong of the Chen Dynasty, probably couldn’t match Ling Xiao’s terrifying potential.

"Could he be a Divine Grade talent?"

Lin Ruoxian had always been puzzled by this, and now she increasingly felt that this confusion seemed to be becoming a reality.

The feelings of Qing Luan Hua were very similar to Lin Ruoxian’s.

However, she met Ling Xiao much later and had only heard others mention him before.

Always feeling that this boy overestimated his abilities, daring to challenge the prestige of the Sha Clan.

At that time, she thought Ling Xiao would soon die.

However, the first thing that surprised her was Ling Xiao defeating Sha Hai on the life and death arena! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

From that moment, she developed a strong curiosity about this young man she had never met.

But at the start of the previous assessment, she was somewhat disappointed; Ling Xiao’s cultivation seemed so weak.

Yet now, the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain had died at Ling Xiao’s hands, was this truly not a dream?

"This place is not safe for a long stay, young ladies, we should return quickly."

Ling Xiao always felt uneasy. The events of tonight clearly indicated that someone had plotted against him.

Although killing the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain would stun and throw the mastermind into chaos.

But since the opponent wanted to deal with him, they would surely come up with other vicious plans.

It’s still better to return to Black Immortal Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise, there might be more trouble.

"Hmm!"

Lin Ruoxian and Qing Luan Hua naturally had no objections. Ling Xiao killed the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain and many Lower Baxian Mountain disciples, although it was to save Qing Luan Hua.

But this matter could be big or small, just afraid someone might take this opportunity to frame Ling Xiao, then it would be troublesome.

With a unanimous decision, the three of them immediately left the back mountain.

All the way to the foot of Black Immortal Mountain, nothing happened.

But as the three were about to separate and return to their respective places, suddenly countless torches lit up in the night, illuminating them clearly.

The night turned into daylight.

Ling Xiao noticed that Chi Lian, Sha Diao, and Sha Lin were all there.

And there were also quite a few "Xian Ling Wei" from Eight Immortals Mountain.

Xian Ling Wei is a very special unit in Eight Immortals Mountain, made up entirely of disciples from the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.

Their duty is to enforce Sect rules, and they report directly to the Inner Hall of Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall.

Among the Xian Ling Wei, even the weakest have a cultivation of Three Layer Hell’s Peak, no less than Sha Mo Yun.

Ling Xiao also noticed a stranger, judging by his attire, he should be the commander of these Xian Ling Wei.

Their position is likely that of a Steward within the Inner Hall of Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall.

A very powerful individual.

He also saw En Renfeng, Feng Ru, and Lin Yang, but these three were now pressed to the ground, kneeling, with knives already at their throats.

At that moment, Ling Xiao felt trouble had arrived.

It seemed that the events at the back mountain tonight were already known.

This Eight Immortals Mountain, truly has no secrets.

But he hadn’t spoken yet when he saw the astonishment in the eyes of Chi Lian, Sha Diao, and Sha Lin.

They seemed very surprised that it turned out to be the three of them who returned in the dark night.

Ling Xiao suddenly thought of the reason behind it, as well as the opponent’s scheme.

Probably, the opponent planned to lure him to the back mountain, then kill Qing Luan Hua, and frame the affair on him.

Because the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain was there, the mastermind behind thought everything could be carried out according to plan.

But now, Ling Xiao had returned, and even Qing Luan Hua had returned.

Instead, the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain did not come back.

No wonder these guys were so shocked.

Although this was just Ling Xiao’s speculation, given his strong analytical skills, this kind of speculation was likely close to the truth.

"Why are you all together?"

Chi Lian couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

In her view, although the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain was not as powerful as her, killing Qing Luan Hua and capturing Ling Xiao alive should have been easy.

Yet now, the situation was completely different from what she imagined.

Could it be that Lin Ruoxian helped them?

No, Lin Ruoxian went to the back mountain very late, the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain should have succeeded before her arrival.

What’s going on?

Chi Lian’s mind was in chaos.

Sha Lin and Sha Diao were also confused.

Ling Xiao furrowed his brows, knowing that tonight was likely to be dangerous. Although their plan had failed, with their cunning and malicious nature, they could probably come up with an even more vicious plan in no time.

"What now? Is the Sha Clan planning a rebellion? Leading the Xian Ling Wei to Black Immortal Mountain at night, capturing disciples here, do you really think we have nobody?"

Ling Xiao remained calm and composed.

This Black Immortal Mountain was his domain, where he had stayed the longest, setting up countless traps and array formations.

All to prevent the day someone tries to come hard and destroy him.

He certainly hoped these preparations would never be used, but today it seemed necessary.

"Shut your mouth! Is the Sha Clan something you can smear at will?"

Sha Diao roared.

"Slander? Does the shameless Sha Clan need my slander? Anyone with eyes can see how filthy and shameless you are."

Ling Xiao said disdainfully, "Today, I would like to see if your Sha Clan can truly cover the sky with one hand over Eight Immortals Mountain!"

"Senior Sha Lin, what you’re doing tonight is indeed inappropriate."

Lin Ruoxian wasn’t as aggressive as Ling Xiao, but she also felt that Sha Lin’s actions tonight were a bit excessive.

This was already inciting internal conflict within the Sect.

"Lin Ruoxian! Did you kill the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain?"

Sha Lin suddenly fixed his gaze on Lin Ruoxian and asked.

He never thought the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain was killed by Ling Xiao, so he assumed that Lin Ruoxian had stepped in to help.

If that were truly the case, then he must take Lin Ruoxian down this time.

Lin Ruoxian was one of Ling Xiao’s backing.

Capturing Lin Ruoxian would not only cause Ling Xiao to lose significant support but also force the Lin Family to obediently marry Lin Ruoxian to his son Sha Diao.

"How ludicrous, I haven’t even seen the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain tonight, let alone killed him."

Lin Ruoxian naturally refused to admit.

Although the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain was at fault, killing an Elder by someone of Steward rank is a severe crime of insubordination.

Once admitted, even justified actions would become unjustifiable.

"Not admitting? No matter, we will investigate thoroughly! Sha Yu, arrest these three sneaky individuals for a thorough interrogation.

The Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain was indeed one of the Elders of Eight Immortals Mountain, and now that he died under unclear circumstances, it must be investigated clearly."

Sha Lin said to the Steward of the Xian Ling Wei.
