Chapter 43: The Unbelieving Crowd

Ye Xuan and the others appeared in front of them unscathed, completely different from the sorry state they had imagined. Xie Yixuan blurted out subconsciously, “You’re back so soon.”

The people from the Tai Qing Sect and Shang Yun Sect were in disbelief. Ye Xuan and the others had only been gone for a short while. Could it be that the Blood Soul Sect had already been dealt with in such a short time?

Shen Hai looked them up and down. They didn’t have any injuries. However, the Blood Soul Sect was powerful; it was said that the sect leader alone was already a sky rank, not to mention the elders. None of them were easy to deal with.

Moreover, they were either bandits or had committed many evil deeds. Otherwise, the nearby major sects wouldn’t be so afraid of them.

“No, you didn’t attack the Blood Soul Sect at all.”

After listening to Shen Hai’s words, everyone loosened up. Even those from the Tai Qing Sect who did not join the trip thought so and could not help but feel relieved.

After all, the Blood Soul Sect was not easy to deal with. They did not want to get themselves into trouble.

While Shen Hai and the others couldn’t help but show a look of contempt, the Third Elder said in a strange tone, “I thought Elder Ye really went to find trouble with the Blood Soul Sect. Seems like it was just a bluff.”

Xie Yixuan took the opportunity to attack. “Elder Ye, you’re too rash. Even if you managed to block the Blood Soul Sect’s attack, you just got lucky. Yet you’re still thinking of attacking the Blood Soul Sect? Fat hope.”

“It’s inevitable for young people to lose their cool and think that they’ll have a chance after capturing a few people from the Blood Soul Sect. However, in my opinion, Elder Ye, you need to think twice before acting.”

“The great elder and the others are right. Elder Ye, what you’re doing is too dangerous. All of us from the Tai Qing Sect combined are no match for the Blood Soul Sect, let alone you with the few people you brought.”

The crowd chimed in, not noticing that the people on Ye Xuan’s side were looking at them as if they were fools.

What crap were they saying?

Li Yu almost couldn’t help but curse internally. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Ye Xuan.

“Then, great elder,” Ye Xuan said with a dry smile. “May I ask, where were you when the sect was in trouble?”

He had found it strange before. All at the same time, those powerful elders were not in the sect. One or two of them missing would be understandable, but it was too much of a coincidence for all of them to be gone.

Now that Shen Hai, Xie Yixuan, and the others had appeared together, it further confirmed Ye Xuan’s guess.

Facing Ye Xuan’s deep eyes, for some reason, the elders felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, as if they had been seen through.

Xie Yixuan replied calmly, “The few of us have a secret mission. That’s why we left the sect. We rushed back as soon as we received the news. Why, do you have doubts, Elder Ye?”

So what if Ye Xuan was suspicious? He didn’t have any evidence. But it was a pity that the originally flawless plan had been ruined by Ye Xuan.

They didn’t know that an even greater blow was yet to come.

Ye Xuan said slowly, “Then, since we’re already out of the woods, I have a mission for you to finish.”

When Shen Hai, Xie Yixuan, and the others heard that, they suddenly showed an expression of disbelief. Although Ye Xuan was the head of all the elders, it had always been in name only. They did not believe in him in their hearts and just barely maintained the peace on the surface.

Ye Xuan probably knew his own limits, and it was the first time he gave orders like that.

The Fourth Elder smiled coldly and said, “I wonder what instructions you have for me.” Anyone could hear the indifference and ridicule in his words.

“Although the Blood Soul Sect has already been reduced to ruins, there should still be many treasures left. Retrieve them and store them in our warehouse.”

Hearing that, everyone’s mouth fell open, and they looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief.

“Elder Ye, I’m afraid you haven’t woken up from your sleep today. What are you talking about? The Blood Soul Sect, reduced to ruins? You’re bragging too much.”

“Did you annihilate the Blood Soul Sect in such a short time? Were they already dead or did they stand there for you to beat?”

“Elder Ye, I must say that while your strength is lacking, you have a pretty strong imagination. Your eloquence is truly impressive to say that the large Blood Soul Sect was destroyed by you.”

The disciples behind Ye Xuan recalled the scene back then. It had seemed like the Blood Soul Sect was beaten up on the spot. Even their sect master had not been spared.

Li Yu finally couldn’t hold back. “The Third Elder, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that Elder Ye can’t do it.”

Shen Hai, Xie Yixuan, and the others were furious. It was equivalent to saying that they were not as good as Ye Xuan.

“If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to take a look.”

When Xie Yixuan heard Ye Xuan’s words, his heart skipped a beat. Even the Shang Yun Sect could not believe it.

The Third Elder decided to fight Ye Xuan to the end. “All right! Then I’ll personally go and see if what you said is true!”

Shen Hai, the Second Elder, and the others set off in a grandiose manner. The people from the Shang Yun sect also ran over to watch the show.

However, after seeing the scene in front of them clearly, everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

“A-A we really in the right place?” Yun Tianyi asked with a trembling voice. “Is this the Blood Soul Sect?”

There wasn’t even a trace of the Blood Soul Sect in the ruins before them other than bits of bloodied skeleton bones. Everyone had such a shocked expression.

It was as if the place had been razed to the ground by some powerful force.
