Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 881 The order of the ancestors

Xiang Qiangu thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said: "The ancestor doesn't like to ask about the sect's affairs. We'd better solve such matters by ourselves."

"But right now we have no clue." Jin Duo said.

"As long as someone has been here, he will leave traces. As long as we look hard, we will definitely find some traces." Xiang Qiangu said.

Everyone was a little silent when they heard the words, although what Xiang Qiangu said was true.But more and more people died, but still no trace of the thief was found.

Xiang Qiangu continued: "Elders, warn your disciples not to go out casually."

"Yes……."

The elders immediately agreed.

Xiang Qiangu continued: "If you find traces, don't act alone."

"Yes……."

The elders agreed again.

Xiang Qiangu looked at the crowd and asked, "Elders, what other good ideas do you have?"

The dozen or so elders frowned slightly, their hearts were very restless, and everyone was thinking of a good plan.But after much deliberation, I found that there was really no better way.

Xiang Qiangu saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "After the elders go back, think slowly, if there is a good plan, let's discuss it later."

"Yes……."

Everyone agrees.

The discussion is over. In fact, there is no reason for this discussion at all.

Great Elder Duan Baili brought Duan Fangyan back to Baili Peak.

As usual, the father and daughter went to the quiet garden to talk if they had something to say.

The sun is shining above the head, and the flowers around me are fragrant.

But Duan Baili had a faint worry on his face.

"Father, what are you worried about?" Duan Fangyan asked.

"No matter who it is, killing Xing Kudeng will make the Sovereign very angry." Duan Baili looked at his daughter and said.

Duan Fangyan's expression was still gentle and beautiful, she smiled and said: "Father, Xing Kudou is also a human being, and can be killed. Since the other party can kill the elder with one move, he can set up an ambush to kill Xing Kudou."

Duan Baili looked at his daughter, paused for a while, and asked, "Fangyan, do you really know nothing?"

"I really don't know." Duan Fangyan shook his head.

"It's fine if you don't know." Duan Baili's tone was a little heavy, and his thin figure was also a little heavy.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Duan Fangyan asked.

Duan Baili looked at his daughter, his old face was not only heavy, but also dignified: "I always feel that there is something wrong with the suzerain."

"No? What's wrong?" Duan Fangyan asked.

"He doesn't seem to be angry about Xing Gongdeng's death," Duan Baili said.

"The anger is hidden under his unchanging peace for a hundred years." Duan Fangyan said.

Duan Baili shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Although the suzerain has always been so calm and indifferent, I still feel that something is wrong."

"Father, are you thinking too much?" Duan Fangyan asked.

Duan Baili shook his head slightly: "Jun Tianzong, the person who knows the suzerain best should be me."

Duan Fangyan felt that her father really felt something was wrong, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "If the suzerain is not angry, why is that?"

"Xing Gongteng is the second strongest person in Jieyin Peak. If he died, the suzerain should not be angry." Duan Baili said solemnly.

"Maybe he was disappointed with Xing Gongdeng, so he felt that Xing Gongdeng would die if he died." Duan Fangyan said.

Duan Baili shook his head and said with a smile: "Xing Gongteng is an intermediate-level spiritual cultivator, how many intermediate-levels are there in the entire Juntian Sect? How many intermediate-levels are there in the entire Lingwu Starfield! Even if Xing Kudeng makes a mistake, even if he is right Xing Kudou is disappointed, but Xing Kudou's respect for the suzerain has not changed, how can the suzerain remain indifferent to Xing Kudou's death?"

Duan Fangyan felt that his father's words were reasonable, but this reasoning had to be based on the fact that Xiang Qiangu was really not angry about losing Xing Kudou.

Duan Baili continued: "We elders, the second elder and I are the strongest, and they are all at the beginning of Tianji. Although Xing Gongdeng may not be able to kill us, he is really stronger than us."

Duan Fangyan looked at his father and became thoughtful.

Duan Baili looked at his daughter and said, "The suzerain is not simple. Everything he does has a clear purpose."

"Father, do you suspect that the suzerain has a conspiracy?" Duan Fangyan asked.

"I don't know, I only know that things are getting more and more complicated." Duan Baili said solemnly.

"Father said complicated, what do you mean?" Duan Fangyan asked.

"The Fourteenth Elder, the Seventeenth Elder, and Xing Kudeng, these three were killed, and the suzerain's peace is very complicated." Duan Baili said solemnly.

Although Duan Fangyan thinks that she is very smart and considerate in doing things, she also believes in her father's feelings.

……

Connect to Yinfeng, in the study.

Xiang Qiangu was drinking tea, his expression was as peaceful as the steaming tea.

An old woman with snow-white hair walked into the back hall of the study. It was Li Xuan, the wife of the suzerain.Her appearance seemed to be getting older. Compared with the suzerain, she not only looked older, but also revealed a heavy twilight.

"Madam." Xiang Qiangu always respected Madam, so he got up immediately.

"Sect Master, I didn't bother you, did I?" Li Xuan also respected her husband very much.

"How could it be?" Xiang Qiangu poured tea for his wife.

"Thank you suzerain." Li Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Xiang Qiangu looked at Madam, and said with concern: "Madam, your complexion is not very good."

Li Xuan smiled weakly and said, "An old man's expression is just like this."

"Ma'am, is the pain recurring?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"It's an old problem, I've been used to it for a long time." Li Xuan laughed.

"Madam, don't say that." Xiang Qiangu's face showed guilt and concern. The guilt was because he couldn't heal his wife's pain, and the concern was naturally because the pain had tortured his wife for more than 100 years.

Li Xuan laughed suddenly: "Old Nineteen's illness was cured by Feng Ting. Last time Feng Ting came, I should also ask Feng Ting to show me."

Hearing the words, Xiang Qiangu said with a smile: "It is true that Feng Ting should show Madam."

"When Feng Ting comes again, the suzerain don't forget to tell me." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Madam, don't worry, when this matter is over, I will invite Feng Ting to see Madam." Xiang Qiangu said solemnly.

"Sovereign, I'm just talking casually." Li Xuan said with a smile: "I heard from Old Nineteen that Feng Ting almost died of exhaustion after treating him. My illness is much worse than Old Nineteen. Feng Ting should It's powerless."

"At that time Feng Ting was still very weak, but now Feng Ting is very strong, maybe he can have a stroke of genius." Xiang Qiangu said.

"Feng Ting is strong again!" Li Xuan exclaimed, "Among the martial practitioners, there is actually an admirable young man."

"Yes! Feng Ting is indeed worthy of admiration." Xiang Qiangu's tone also reveals a slight exclamation.

"Unfortunately, the suzerain still can't let him go." Li Xuan looked at her husband with a smile on her face.

Xiang Qiangu heard the words, and said helplessly, "This is what the ancestors meant."

"I know." Li Xuan smiled helplessly.

"I still don't know why the ancestor doesn't allow powerful martial practitioners to exist." Xiang Qiangu said.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, and said: "Lingwu Starfield is the world of spiritual cultivators, and the ancestor should not be able to tolerate a powerful martial artist."

"That's right! Patriarch wouldn't be so ignorant, and spiritual practitioners shouldn't be so ignorant." Xiang Qiangu said.

"The next time the suzerain sees the ancestor again, can I ask?" Li Xuan looked at her husband.

"I asked, but the ancestor never revealed it." Xiang Qiangu said.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and said: "An order is an order, and there is really no need to reveal the whole story."

"Yes! I am the suzerain, but this Jun Tianzong, this Lingwu Starfield belongs to the ancestor." Xiang Qiangu said peacefully.

"Okay, let's not talk about the ancestor, nor Feng Ting. The suzerain told me about Xing Kudeng's death." Li Xuan changed the subject weakly.

"Xing Gongteng was ambushed and killed by someone. The person who killed him should not be alone, and his realm should not be as good as him. Someone set up a shielding formation around the battlefield, so that no one in the entire Jun Tianzong could notice." Xiang Qiangu immediately said He knew what he told his wife.

"It seems that they are not the same people who killed the fourteenth and seventeenth elders," Li Xuan said.

"It should not be the same group of people, but I can't be sure that they are not the same group." Xiang Qiangu said.

"This group of people is really extraordinary. There are supreme powerhouses who can silently kill the fourteenth and seventeenth elders with one move, and there are also superpowers who can kill Xing Kudeng in a bloody battle." Li Xuan said.

"Yes!"

"Sovereign, there should not be many people in the Lingwu Starfield who can quietly kill the Fourteenth Elder and the Seventeenth Elder with one move, and then come and go without a trace." Li Xuan said.

"Not many." Xiang Qiangu said peacefully, "It's only three or five."

"Huo Tiandu, the one from Demon Realm, and the suzerain of Xingyue Sect should be counted as one, who else?" Li Xuan asked.

"The one at the Manghuang Inn, and me." Xiang Qiangu added.

When Li Xuan heard this, a heavy look appeared on his old face, and he asked, "Who does the suzerain think?"

Xiang Qiangu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I hope it's the big villain, not one of these people."

"Why did the suzerain say that?" Li Xuan asked.

"If it's one of these few people, then this Lingwu Starfield will be very difficult to be peaceful." Xiang Qiangu said solemnly.

"That's right! Coming to Jun Tianzong to kill people is tantamount to declaring war on Jun Tianzong." Li Xuan's tone was also very heavy.

"Jun Tianzong's majesty cannot be offended, for the sake of the sect's majesty, I have no choice." Xiang Qiangu said.

Li Xuan looked at her husband and said with some distress: "Husband, the peace of these hundreds of years may be broken."

"Yes! After the peace is broken, there will be endless killings." Xiang Qiangu sighed.

"Husband, I'm a little worried." Li Xuan looked at her husband distressedly.

"Ma'am worried about me?"

"Your husband is a hero, so you don't have to worry about it. Even the big villain back then was still hurt by your husband. I'm worried about innocent people." Li Xuan said.

"Madam, don't worry, Jun Tianzong will not harm innocent people, and will not allow others to harm innocent people." Xiang Qiangu said solemnly.

"I believe my husband can do it." Li Xuan looked at her husband with admiration.
