Chapter 26 Dramatic Changes (V)

Xiao Manyun was very mad, and within this Xiao Sect, he did have the capital to be mad. Not to mention the harshness of his words, even if he called everyone in the Xiao Sect a dog, the entire Xiao Sect would have to listen honestly, absolutely no one would dare to retort a single word, and there might even be someone who cooperated by wagging their tail.

“Before Elder Xiao Zheng passed away, he was mindful of his father’s and son’s love and left his last words. I hope to find you all and bring one of the young generation with the best qualifications back to the Xiao Sect for cultivation.”

Xiao Maniacal Cloud picked up a roster that Xiao Yunhai had prepared overnight, looked around, and said proudly, “Today, I will personally be the gatekeeper, and after a while, those whose names I call out will come before me to demonstrate your Xuan power. However, the standard for determining qualifications is not the strength of Xuan power, but rather the foundation and potential!”

“Before arriving here, my father asked me to bring a Tong Xuan San, and those chosen will not only be brought back to the Xiao Sect, but will also receive this Tong Xuan San as a reward! A good elixir is only worthy of use by those with sufficient qualifications, using it on trash will only be a waste!” Saying this, Xiao Manyun’s gaze sidled towards Xiao Yunhai, “Sect Master Xiao, take out the Tong Xuan San. Although this is a gift for your Xiao Sect, but awarding it to the person with the best qualifications, you shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

Xiao Yunhai did not dare to make any sense of Xiao Manyun’s words, even if they were absurd. However, after hearing his words, Xiao Yunhai’s face turned pale all of a sudden, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he did not move to fetch the Tongxuan San, but instead stood there with a stutter in his mouth.

“What’s going on?” Xiao Crazy Cloud’s face clouded over, “Sect Master Xiao, you wouldn’t be unwilling to part with this Tongxuan San, would you?”

“No no, of course not.” Xiao Yunhai hurriedly shook his head, his complexion was terrified, “It’s just …… just ……”

“Just what?”

“Plop” sound, Xiao Yunhai directly kneeled on one knee, hands trembling, face fearful, “I …… I should be damned …… Yesterday, Xiao Gongzi gifted the The Tong Xuan San, I put into my Xiao Sect’s pharmacy, and explained that the people in the pharmacy must be well kept. But …… but this morning, the people in the medicinal affairs room suddenly ran to tell me that the Tong Xuan San that was placed in the medicinal affairs room had …… even disappeared!”

Wow – the crowd below was in chaos and a clamor.

Stealing the supreme treasure brought by Xiao Zong …… who turned out to be so bold!

“Hm?” Xiao Che frowned slightly, a pang of doubt in his heart …… With his understanding of Xiao Yunhai for more than a decade, he was a rather cautious person. With his character, after obtaining the supreme treasure that Xiao Zong had brought with him, he actually did not bring it with him, but instead handed it over to the Pill Room, which was a bit irrational ……It should be known that there was only one person in the Pill Room, Xiao Gu, and that he was focused on medicine and had almost nothing in terms of Xuan Power, and the Pill Room was thus counted as the weakest place in terms of defenses within the Xiao Sect.

Moreover, Tong Xuan San is brought by Xiao Zong, even if someone is salivating, at least it should wait until the people of Xiao Zong have left before taking action, why should he choose such a dangerous time …… even if he steals the hand, and has the life to use it?

Xiao Lie’s whole body shook, violently looked sideways at Xiao Ling Shi, but found that Xiao Ling Shi was also full of surprise. Sensing Xiao Lie’s gaze, Xiao Ling Shi hurriedly shook her head vigorously, indicating that it had nothing to do with her at all. Only then did Xiao Lie withdraw his gaze and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sh……!!!”

Xiao Manyun fiercely stood up from his seat, his face became incomparably grim, his entire body’s fierce aura rushing to the sky as he looked at Xiao Yunhai and viciously said, “Are you saying …… that someone actually stole that box of Tong Xuan San?”

“My humble self was not well protected, please punish Mr. Xiao.” Xiao Yunhai lowered his head, his face full of shame and trepidation.

“Outrageous!” Xiao Maniac Yun inhaled a vicious breath, his chest heaved as his face grew gloomy, clearly enraged to the extreme: “Our Xiao Sect’s gifts even have someone who dares to steal …… well! Really good! I really underestimated this Liuyun City! You guys are still really …… bold!”

Xiao Maniac Yun’s anger and murderous aura almost spread up and down the entire Xiao Sect, causing everyone’s backs to chill and their hearts to convulse, not daring to breathe a single breath and lowering their heads in a panic, lest they be stared at by Xiao Maniac Yun.

Xiao Che half squinted his eyes, his eyes looking straight into Xiao Manyun’s eyes, and after a few moments, he poked Xiao Lie and asked in a low voice, “Grandpa, yesterday, the Sect Master wouldn’t have offended this Xiao Manyun, right?”

Xiao Lie was stunned, then shook his head, “Xiao Yunhai has always been cautious, it shouldn’t be so.”

“That would be strange.” Xiao Che nodded his chin and said in a low voice, “This Xiao Crazy Cloud’s anger is obviously feigned, if it was the Sect Master who offended him, and he came to steal from himself and then disgusted the Sect Master, it would be a good explanation. If not …… could it be that this Xiao Crazy Cloud is singing a monkey show alone?”

“…… Don’t talk nonsense.” Xiao Lie did not understand what he was saying and reminded in a low voice.

Xiao Manyun’s gaze was venomous and his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, “When I took out the Tongxuan San yesterday, there were only people from the Xiao Sect around me, so I don’t think that your Xiao Sect people would be foolish enough to proclaim the matter of obtaining the Higher Elixir to the ears of outsiders. Coupled with the fact that your Xiao Sect’s defense force is not weak in this Liuyun City, wanting to break in can be quite difficult …… Then, it should be that there is a house thief amongst your Xiao Sect!”

Xiao Maniac Yun’s words caused the faces of all the Xiao Sect people to change, and the whispers got up even louder. Xiao Yunhai also nodded his head quickly, “Yes! Duke Xiao is clear, after knowing that the Tongxuan San was stolen, I also thought that it was stolen by someone from our Xiao Sect. Xiao Gu of the Pill House is nearly sixty years old, and has always been uncontested, and would not have any desire for Tongxuan San at all, so it should not be him who supervised the theft, and all the others, perhaps, are suspected.”

“Hmph! The district Xiao Sect is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of our Xiao Sect! A random subordinate of our Xiao Sect can single-handedly exterminate your entire clan! This time, we condescended to lower our dignity and traveled thousands of miles to your Xiao Sect, we are giving you a heavenly face and favor …… and you, on the other hand, gave me such a big surprise! This is simply slapping our Xiao Clan’s face!”

Hitting the face of the Xiao Clan Sect …… this oddly large and incomparable crime made Xiao Yunhai’s face turn ashen all of a sudden.

Xiao Maniac Yun’s eyes were like poisonous snakes as he swept from face to face, and those who were touched by his gaze invariably lowered their heads in a lightning-like manner, and no one dared to meet his gaze …… However, this was not at all to say that how sharp Xiao Maniac Yun’s eyes were or how strong his aura was, it was only because there was a Pang Ran Xiao Clan behind him.

Xiao Che’s gaze shifted to Xiao Yunhai’s face, and his face also became even lower as he murmured in a voice that only he could hear, “This Xiao Yunhai’s appearance, surprisingly, is also feigned …… What exactly are they going to do?”

Xiao Che’s two lives of memories, especially the one in the Cang Yun Continent, he had experienced countless good and evil, walked through countless edges of life and death, and had seen even more incomparably many people, from the small people of the marketplace to the world’s hegemonic masters. The venomousness of his eyesight was not necessarily comparable to even powerful Xuanists who had lived for hundreds of years.

Xiao Manyun once again looked around and his tone suddenly eased, “Forget it, as pathetic as it is, I don’t have the luxury of getting angry with people from a small place like yours. That person who stole Tong Xuan San, I’ll give you 15 seconds to obediently come forward on your own and then hand over Tong Xuan San, and I may still be able to take into account the first offense and forgive it lightly once! If you persist again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Xiao Ba, start the timer!”

Xiao Manyun finished speaking, snorted coldly, and sat back in his seat. The young man in black on his left had taken a step forward and started reading the seconds in a low voice.

Xiao Yunhai hurriedly turned around and said loudly, “That sinful animal who stole the Tongxuan San, did you hear that! Duke Xiao is forgiving and lenient, so why don’t you hurry to get lost and come up to thank us for your offense! Otherwise, not to mention Mr. Xiao, our Xiao Sect up and down, will certainly not forgive!!!”

“…… twelve …… eleven …… ten …… nine …… “The black clothed man called Xiao Bachi mechanically read the numbers.

The people of the Xiao Sect all turned their heads to look at the people around them, speculating as to who had the audacity to actually dare to steal what Xiao Zong had brought with him. Although Xiao Crazy Cloud was shouting “lightly forgive”, but looking at his eyes, no one believed that he would be “lightly forgiven” after confessing to the crime of his own accord.

“…… four …… three …… two …… one …… Time is up!”

Xiao Baxi’s voice fell and then took a step back. Xiao Manyun then re-stood up, his gaze was grim and cruel as he laughed coldly, “I’ve already given you the opportunity, since you still don’t know what’s good for you, then don’t blame me for being merciless when you’re caught by me! Xiao Jiu!”

“Yes!”

Along with Xiao Manyun’s shout, another black-clothed young man took a step forward, then immediately raised his palm, and a vortex of Xuan Force quickly coalesced in the center of his hand.

“Sect Master Xiao, the Tongxuan San was stolen along with the box, correct?”

“Yes, it was stolen together.” Xiao Yunhai nodded his head, a puzzled expression on his face as if he did not understand why he was asking.

“Very well …… on that box containing the Tongxuan San, but it has our Xiao Sect’s unique Xuan Force Seal – the Heavenly Eagle Seal! As long as you catalyze our Xiao Sect’s unique Xuan Force, you will be able to quickly sense the location of the nearby Heavenly Eagle Seal!”

Just as Xiao Crazy Cloud finished his words, Xiao Jiu’s hand suddenly dropped, and with a low roar of “Over there” under his breath, he then transformed into a wild wind and rushed towards the right side with lightning speed, his speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from sight.

“Hehe, it seems to have been found.” Xiao Crazy Cloud coldly laughed, and in the depths of his eyes, a flash of deep color …… of triumph appeared to be very satisfied with his performance.

“Great, worthy of being Xiao Zong, really dripping with water.” Xiao Yunhai is also a happy face, and then a cloudy face, serious: “Xiao Gongzi, the nature of this matter is too bad, not only to provoke the anger of Xiao Gongzi, but also let our Xiao Sect lose face. Therefore, no matter who the thief is that will be uncovered, it is my son, Mr. Xiao does not need to have any scruples, and must be severely punished!!!”

“Hmph! This of course, those who offend my Xiao Sect never have a good ending!”

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, Xiao Jiu had already rushed back, holding a wooden box, the Heavenly Eagle Lead on top of the wooden box was still faintly glowing, and this wooden box was the same one that was handed over to Xiao Yunhai by Xiao Maniac Cloud yesterday, which contained Tong Xuan San.

“Young master, found it.” Xiao Jiu handed the wooden box over to Xiao Manyun and then wordlessly stepped back.

All the whispers stopped, the surroundings became pin drop silent, and the atmosphere completely condensed. Everyone stared with wide eyes and held their breath, waiting to see who the person who was bold enough to dare to steal the Tongxuan San was …… They could foresee how miserable that person’s end would be.

“Xiao Jiu, this box, where did you find it?” Xiao Maniac Yun said with a cold smile on his face.

“House 66, under the pillow in the main room.” Xiao Jiu replied with an expressionless face and clear words.

No. 66 courtyard ……

All gazes immediately focused in one direction, looking incredulously at the young girl who seemed to have been stunned.

When she heard the words “House 66”, Xiao Ling Shi’s entire body was dumbfounded there, looking at the pairs of eyes that turned to her, she stepped back, shook her head in panic and lost her voice, “It’s not me …… It’s not me! “
