Mu Qingge's eyes turned cold as he looked at the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect who had just spoken and said, "Is there anything else the three sect masters wish to discuss?"
The gaze of the Tianliu Sect's Sect Master shifted towards Xu Sheng and the others, as he said coldly, "Sect Master Mu, no need to be tense, I just want to inquire whether the disciples of Xuantian Sect
Although it was phrased as a question, the tone was outright accusatory!
The Sect Master of the Earth Abyss Sect narrowed his eyes and added, "Indeed! I would also like to know what exactly happened to the disciples of my Diming Sect."
Clenching his fists and suppressing his anger, the Sect Master of Lieqiong Sect said, "None of our sect's disciples have emerged either. It is indeed necessary to thoroughly investigate what has taken place!"
Hearing this, how could Mu Qingge fail to understand what they were implying!
They suspected that Xu Sheng and the others had used some means to leave their disciples trapped inside the secret realm...
But who would believe such an idea if it were said aloud?
Soon after, Mu Qingge turned to Xu Sheng and said lightly, "Since that's the case, Xu Sheng, please recount to the three sect masters what transpired."
"Yes, Sect Master Mu!"
Then, Xu Sheng's dark eyes turned towards the other three sect masters...
Feeling their oppressive might continuously released towards him, he remained composed and said, "Three sect masters, the truth is we also do not know the specific details; however, today within the secret realm, the monster beasts were abnormally violent! Even we lost three companions because of it!"
"I believe, if they haven't made it out, then they are most likely within the monster beasts' bellies!"
His entire statement was given without revealing any slip...
The Sect Master of Tianliu Sect stroked his chin, pondering, "Monster beasts becoming violent? This has never happened before!"
The Sect Master of Earth Abyss Sect questioned in a cold voice, "What evidence do you have to prove this?"
Confronted with this question, Xu Sheng spread his hands in resignation and said, "I am unable to prove the ferocity of the monster beasts, of course, if the three sect masters are able to break this prohibition, then you are free to go in and see for yourselves!"
The precondition being that you can break through the prohibition!
The hot-tempered Sect Master of Lieqiong Sect glared at Xu Sheng and shouted angrily, "What a smooth-talking youngster you are! I am certain it is your disciples from the Xuantian Sect who ambushed our sect's disciples!!"
Hearing these nearly confrontational words, Mu Qingge, as the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect, his voice began to take on a frosty edge, "That's about enough. Three sect masters, do not push too hard. Are you truly so distrustful of the strength of your own sect's disciples?"
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak chimed in, "While our Xuantian Sect is indeed amiable, we do not fear any threats!"
Luo Qingyang also fanned himself and calmly said, "Do not forget, if not for an earlier mistake, our Xuantian Sect would be among the top sects on the continent! We disdain from engaging in such actions!"
Upon these words, Xu Sheng and the others, feeling the offense, all twitched at the corners of their mouths...
The three opposing sect masters, upon hearing these remarks, were filled with anger to the brink, yet they could not afford to truly fall out here...
After taking a deep breath, they slowly retreated to one side...
With a cold "hmph," Mu Qingge ordered the remaining members of the Xuantian Sect, "Everyone, back to the sect!"
The next moment, all of them mounted their swords and flew away, leaving only the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect and his two dumbstruck companions behind.
Grinding his teeth, the Sect Master of Lieqiong Sect could hardly contain his rage as he bellowed, "Damn it! We cannot let this matter rest! Without the interference of Xuantian Sect, how could it be possible that not a single one of our disciples returned!"
A sinister smile crept across the face of the Tianliu Sect's Sect Master, "Rest assured, we will soon avenge our deceased disciples! Xuantian Sect! Hmph! In a few days' time, there will no longer be such a sect!"
Sect Master of the Earth Abyss Sect's cheeks were filled with a crazed hue, "When the time comes, let Mu Qingge witness the massacre of his own sect disciples with his own eyes!"
Although losing those disciples was heart-wrenching, just thinking about the imminent downfall of Xuantian Sect...
Everything they had done was worth it!
...
In the misty sky above, Mu Qingge's eyes turned towards Xu Sheng beside him and he whispered softly, "Xu Sheng, all those things you said before were made up, weren't they?"
Xu Sheng smiled faintly and respectfully said, "As expected, I couldn't deceive the Sect Master's eyes; indeed, I fabricated those affairs!"
Hearing Xu Sheng admit it in person, a look of astonishment still couldn't help but appear on Mu Qingge's face!
This disciple was simply too outstanding, facing the pressure of three Deity Transformation Realm experts, yet he managed to narrate without any pressure!
And Luo Qingyang couldn't wait to ask, "Then what exactly happened to the disciples of the other three sects?"
The eyes of the other Peak Masters were also fixed on Xu Sheng, waiting for him to continue...
Xu Sheng, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, calmly said, "The disciples of the other sects have all been annihilated by us!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingge and the others gasped...
Luo Qingyang, with disbelief in her eyes, said, "All annihilated?? There were more than twenty disciples on the other side, and they were not prevented from entering despite suppressing their Nascent Soul Stage cultivation! You... annihilated them!"
Mu Yun nodded her head, affirming seriously, "Master Luo, what Junior Brother Xu said is indeed the truth!"
Mo Qingyue also added, "Yes! The last surviving disciples were also slain by us at the exit!"
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak praised, "To be able to take down twenty-one disciples with only seven people is indeed praiseworthy!"
Muhuan also nodded in agreement; at first, he had not held much hope for Xu Sheng, but now it seemed that the latter was far more outstanding than his own fallen disciple!
After the shock, Ling Luoyan's beautiful eyes filled with concern, staring at Xu Sheng's cheeks, she said with utter gravity, "Xu Sheng, do you realize the disaster this rash move might bring upon the sect!"
The words had barely fallen when Gu Linruo spoke up to justify Xu Sheng, "Master, this matter is not Junior Brother Xu's fault. We only chose to strike hard after discovering the enemy's intentions!"
Ling Luoyan, momentarily stunned, came to her senses and said with confusion, "Lin Ruo, go on!"
Gu Linruo, with a serious tone, began, "We learned from the mouths of the other sect disciples that their objective was to slaughter all of our disciples who entered the Secret Realm, and then the three great sects would unite to destroy Xuantian Sect!"
Ling Luoyan furrowed her brows and said, "Lin Ruo, such matters can't be spoken of lightly..."
Matters such as annihilating a sect were not to be taken lightly!
However, Mu Qingge's words cut her off before she could continue, his eyes narrowly opening as he said, "Unite to destroy Xuantian Sect?? So that is their true plan, is it?"
No wonder those three sect masters hadn't taken immediate action; so their real move was this!
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak suggested, "Sect Master! This matter is likely not baseless. We must prepare a flawless strategy!"
Muhuan also echoed, "The younger brother is right! It does not matter for us, but the disciples of Xuantian Sect are the foundation and must not come to harm!"
Mu Qingge's whole aura suddenly surged as he said in a cold voice, "This matter, once we return to the sect, will be discussed in detail. They want to annihilate our Xuantian Sect! It will not be so easy!"
