Chapter 240 - Set Things Right for Us
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Liu Canyang's body flew out from the exit of Qinghua Fairyland. Obviously, he must have been killed when he was at the exit.
The cold-looking elder of the Sky Rapier Sect turned pale.
How could Liu Canyang be killed when he was already at the exit?
However, since the four sects had set the rules together that the disciples could kill and snatch the treasures of one another in Qinghua Rift, the elder could not say anything.
As long as Liu Canyang was in the Rift, he could not hold anyone responsible for his death.
After Liu Canyang's body was out, a few hundred disciples followed behind. After that, there was no movement at the exit.
"What's happening? The exit will be sealed soon. Why are they not out yet?" Zhu Lixing asked coldly.
About 800 disciples from the Scorching Sun Sect were out of the Rift, but more than 400 disciples were still inside. More importantly, Tang Quan, Chu Yan, and the rest were not out yet.
Zhu Lixing was getting anxious as the exit would soon be sealed.
The seventh elder of the Gale Island looked gloomy. More than 600 disciples from the Gale Island were not out yet.
It seemed that those who were still inside the Rift were the disciples of the Sky Alliance, including Yin Lige, Ouyang Ping, and the other talents.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Immediately after Zhu Lixing had spoken, the disciples started to flood out again.
Zhu Lixing and the seventh elder looked hopeful, but they were disappointed to see that the disciples were from the Sky Rapier Sect. There were 60-70 of them.
"Oh no! The exit will be sealed soon!" The invigilating elder, who was standing behind the seventh elder, shouted out. The exit of the Rift shook and it started to seal up.
The seventh elder and Zhu Lixing turned completely pale.
"Zhu Lixing, should anything happen to our disciples, we will not let Scorching Sun Sect off!" The seventh elder shouted at Zhu Lixing.
He presumed that his disciples must have fought with the disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect at White Jade Square, which caused them to be stuck within.
There was no other explanation. Even the powerful Yin Lige had not returned!
"This…" Zhu Lixing was dumbfounded. He had the same thought as the seventh elder.
He could not accept the fact that so many disciples from his sect had died, even with Tang Quan around. "Tang Quan is a martial artist at the True Spirit Realm, but even he is not back. Could he have been killed?"
"Is this possible?"
A figure dashed out just as the exit was about to be sealed up.
It was a young man in white. He was smiling faintly.
"Su Mo? Is he still alive?" The invigilating elder of Gale Island looked at Su Mo in disbelief.
The seventh elder was stunned as well. With so many disciples waiting to take Su Mo's life, how could he possibly come out of the Rift alive?
As Su Mo stepped out of the exit, there was a dead silence. Many disciples looked sharply at him.
More than 3,000 disciples who had come out of Qinghua Rift fixed their gaze on Su Mo. They were filled with anger, killing intent and resentment. These forces gathered together and formed a gale across the valley.
"What's going on?"
All the elders were stunned when they saw that all the disciples from the four sects were behaving so strangely, and were filled with such great animosity.
The exit of Qinghua Rift had sealed up.
"Seventh elder, I didn't expect your disciples to be so powerful!" Zhu Lixing looked palely at the seventh elder and shouted.
Out of the 1,200 over disciples from the Scorching Sun Sect, one-third of the disciples had been killed, which enraged Zhu Lixing.
Zhu Lixing suspected that there must be some martial artists at the True Spirit Realm from the Gale Island who had camouflaged their cultivation level. Otherwise, there was no other explanation for his great loss!
"Ha!" Upon hearing this, the seventh elder shouted, "Zhu Lixing, you're responsible for our great loss. You owe us an explanation!"
The seventh elder was fuming with anger. More than 600 Inner Disciples from the Gale Island had been killed. This was more than half the number who had gone into the Rift.
The Gale Island owner would be enraged when he found out about this, and a war with the Scorching Sun Sect was likely to take place.
Whenever there was an Inner Gate Trial Test, the disciples of the two sects would get into fights. At the most, more than 100 disciples would be killed.
However, they had lost about half the Inner Disciples in this round. This had shaken the foundation of the Gale Island and they would not take it lying down.
"Owe you an explanation?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Lixing sneered and said, "Do you think you're the only one who has suffered a great loss? We have also suffered great losses; so who should be responsible for this!"
Both of them were angry and anxious and they were blaming each other.
The disciples were stunned and could not understand why the two elders were quibbling at each other.
"Elder Zhu, our loss has nothing to do with the Gale Island!" One of the disciples from the Scorching Sun Sect told Zhu Lixing.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Lixing was puzzled. If this had nothing to do with Gale Island, where were the over 400 disciples?
"Seventh elder, Scorching Sun Sect didn't kill our disciples!" A burly disciple from Gale Island told the seventh elder.
When the seventh elder heard this, he was shocked and asked, "In this case, what has happened to them? Where is Yin Lige?"
The seventh elder was puzzled. If it had nothing to do with the disciples from the Scorching Sun Sect, where were Yin Lige and the rest? Have they been killed by multiple Lv 3 Demonic Beasts?
However, it was unlikely!
The burly disciple turned to look at Su Mo and said, "It was Su Mo. It's he who has killed Yin Lige and the rest of the disciples!"
"What?"
The 10 other elders from the four sects were too stunned to react upon hearing these words.
"Has Su Mo killed Yin Lige? Has he killed more than 600 disciples from Gale Island? Is Su Mo so powerful? How can this be? It's impossible!"
All of the elders from the four sects could not believe it.
One disciple from the Scorching Sun Sect said, "Elder Zhu, Su Mo has killed more than 400 disciples, including Senior Brother Tang Quan!"
"This… this can't be true!" Zhu Lixing's eyes widened and he looked puzzled. He found it hard to believe even though he had heard it directly from his disciple.
This could not be true and it was simply impossible!
How could Su Mo have killed Tang Quan and a thousand disciples with a cultivation level at Spiritual Martial Realm?
"Elder, Su Mo has blocked the exit at Qinghua Rift and refused to let anyone leave. What's more, he has killed the disciples mercilessly and snatched away our storage pouches. Elder Zhu, please help us to set things right!" The disciple cupped his fist and respectfully asked Zhu Lixing.
"Elder Zhu, please help us!"
"Please set things right for us, Elder Zhu!"
"…"
With the backing of the elders from the sects, all the remaining disciples from the Scorching Sun Sect were no longer afraid of Su Mo. They cupped their fists and asked for Zhu Lixing.
