A ten-thousand-fold return, and I, in my old age, will become a lapdog.

Chapter 24 News about Lin Yan'er



Chapter 24 News about Lin Yan'er

Over the past two months, the rumors about Xu Xiao within the sect have gradually subsided.

After the sect leader, Dugu Ling, personally gave instructions to Lu Danian, the latter led a group of law enforcement officers to crack down on those who were talking about it privately.

If caught, they'll get a severe beating and have a month's worth of spirit stones deducted.

The outer disciples remained silent, not daring to discuss Xu Xiao unless they were in their own rooms; this seemed to have become a taboo within the Misty Sect.

However, something happened later that once again ignited the fervor of the Misty Sect members.

No matter how hard the enforcement team tries to suppress them, they can't control these terrified outer disciples.

Jin Liuxiang's master, Zhou Xiao, is dead.

Zhou Xiao's two apprentices died mysteriously outside Tiger Roar City.

After being expelled from the Misty Sect, the three of them found a job as guards in Tiger Roar City thanks to their considerable cultivation.

Unexpectedly, after one of their business trips outside the city, the bodies of the three were discovered in the dense forest outside Tiger Roar City.

The news quickly reached the Misty Sect, and the outer disciples were terrified.

Offending Elder Xu... the consequences were so tragic!

My God!

Now, these disciples are so frightened that they don't dare to utter a single word.

It was alright to be caught by the law enforcement team; they were just beaten up and had their spirit stones confiscated.

If you accidentally offend Elder Xu, your life might be in danger!

Thus, the image of Xu Xiao, a man of high moral character and noble integrity, underwent a tremendous change in the hearts of his disciples.

He transformed from a kind and approachable elder into a hypocritical and unscrupulous man who kept a mistress.

Moreover, this unscrupulous elder wielded immense power and held a high position within the sect.

None of the disciples dared to approach Xu Xiao when they saw him from afar.

Even some of the beautiful female disciples, upon seeing Elder Xu walk by, turned pale with fright and their hearts trembled...

In the small courtyard outside the mountain.

After listening to Lu Danian's report, Xu Xiao, who had just advanced to the Core Formation stage, stroked his goatee and asked in confusion, "Danian, why has my appearance become so terrible?"

"Now, when those disciples see me, they run far away as if I were a jackal or a tiger. Some of the female disciples have even been frightened to tears."

"Is your senior master really that scary?"

Lu Danian, dressed in a Taoist robe with Bagua symbols, swallowed hard.

Looking at his bewildered senior apprentice, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart...

The enforcement team's attempts to suppress public opinion are almost backfiring.

Everything was fine at first, but in order to carry out his master's instructions, he secretly dealt with Zhou Xiao and the other two.

Somehow, word of this reached the inside of the organization, and now their enforcement team is practically on the verge of collapse.

But so what if my master has a bad reputation... He's about to pass away anyway, as long as he's comfortable.

Lu Danian hesitated, then mustered his courage and said, "Uncle-Master... once Master finds you a Daoist partner, please tone it down a bit... otherwise, if word gets out, it will be very difficult for our enforcement team..."

Xu Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Da Nian. Look, your senior uncle hasn't been looking for Jin Liuxiang lately, has he? Your senior uncle isn't that kind of person."

I think you are exactly that kind of person!

Lu Danian didn't dare to speak, he just smiled and nodded.

After giving some instructions, Lu Danian left the courtyard and returned to the Enforcement Hall to continue instructing the enforcement team to suppress public opinion.

At noon, two female disciples, one plump and one thin, came to the courtyard to pay their respects, looking slightly nervous.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao smiled and said, "I remember you all. How is young friend Lin doing now? You should have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage by now, right?"

The two women were naturally Lin Yan'er's two best friends and senior sisters.

The two looked at Xu Xiao's kind and amiable face, their faces turning somewhat pale.

Elder Xu has now become a taboo subject in the hearts of these outer disciples... He's a terrifying old man who can kill people when he's angry!

The slightly plump senior sister composed herself and knelt down in fear, pleading, "Elder Xu, please save Junior Sister Lin... Junior Sister Lin... she's not coming back from Jinshi City!"

Xu Xiaobai's white eyebrows twitched slightly as he asked, "What's wrong, young friend Lin?"

The slightly chubby senior sister hurriedly said, "Elder Xu, Junior Sister Lin broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm a month ago and returned to Jinshi City to visit her relatives, but she was detained by the people of the Xuanmo Sect!"

"Li Jiuye, the young master of the Xuanmo Sect, has taken a liking to his junior sister and insists on taking her as a concubine. The Xuanmo Sect has also pressured the city lord of Jinshi City, and it has already been agreed that he will bring his junior sister back to the Xuanmo Sect for the wedding in three days!"

Xu Xiao frowned, his expression turning serious.

Xuanmo Sect?

This little demonic sect dares to steal his destined daughter?

This is outrageous.

"How did you know about this?" Xu Xiao asked softly.

Seeing that Xu Xiao took it seriously, the slightly chubby senior sister was pleasantly surprised and said, "It was junior sister who sent a message talisman to inform us... Now junior sister's family is being monitored by the Xuanmo Sect and can't even leave the city gate."

"Elder, my junior sister is heartbroken. She dislikes the Xuanmo Sect and that Li Jiuye... but now that the City Lord of Jinshi City has agreed to the marriage, her family has no choice but to accept it..."

"Elder, our junior sister is from our Misty Sect. Her last message to us was asking if we could find a way to save her... Elder, we don't even have a master in the outer sect... You're the only one we can think of..."

The two men had sincere expressions, and their eyes showed urgency.

My junior sister is in trouble. The Xuanmo Sect is quite well-known in the northern border of Donglai Kingdom, and only Elder Xu can stand up for her...

"She didn't mention that she was a disciple of the Misty Sect?" Xu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"said."

The slightly plump senior sister said, "But the people from the Xuanmo Sect said that the sect doesn't interfere in marriage matters... they even said that this would strengthen the ties between the Xuanmo Sect and the Piaomiao Sect..."

Kiss my ass.

Xu Xiao snorted coldly in his heart, his eyes filled with disdain.

The Xuanmo Sect is at best a third-rate sect in the Panlong Continent; it's not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Piaomiao Sect.

Since Lin Yan'er is his chosen one, he naturally won't sit idly by.

After thinking it through, Xu Xiao smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

He took out six Foundation Establishment Pills and gave three to each of the two women. "Young friend Lin and I are destined to meet. Don't worry, I will take her back to the sect. These Foundation Establishment Pills are to thank you for telling me."

The two women were overjoyed upon hearing this.

He accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill and kowtowed to Xu Xiao repeatedly.

After instructing the two women not to spread the word, they respectfully withdrew.

At this moment, Xu Xiao stood up and chuckled to himself, "It's been a long time since I left the sect. This trip is a good opportunity to go out and have some fun."

"Maybe I'll get lucky and meet a woman of destiny, and maybe I can make a fortune!"
