Chapter Nineteenth: Secret Meeting (First Update, Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  At night, the stars shine brightly.

  Next to Mount Wulei, on a mountain of ancient green trees, stands a magnificent bronze palace with bright lights shining through.

  "What?! Even you guys were defeated by him?!"

  Second Elder Meng Jun sat on a taishi chair. His face was ashen, and he slapped the nearby table with a loud bang. The bronze table had four legs that pierced directly through the stone slab, deeply embedded in the ground.

  "I'm sorry, Master. I'm incompetent and have let you down!"

  Wang Hai and Zhao Xue knelt on the ground, their faces gloomy. Next to them, Zhang Long lay directly on the bed board, his face as white as paper, unable to move.

  "Useless thing!"

  Meng Jun fiercely waved his hand, his expression extremely unpleasant. His four core disciples were all defeated by Lin Xi's hands. Including Meng Shi, that made five.

  If these five people were no match, it would be nothing to be ashamed of. But the martial arts attainments of these few people are all higher than Lin Xi's, yet they still got defeated, and it was a crushing defeat!

  This can't be said, for Meng Jun's position within the party, it's a considerable blow. This is equivalent to saying that all of Meng Jun's subordinates are good-for-nothings! Meng Jun's own reputation will naturally not be any better.

  "Master Meng, don't be angry either. Lin Xi that little beast will die sooner or later. Letting him have his way for now isn't a big deal."

  On the side, the five elders Wei Bu Ping consoled him.

  In fact, in this room, apart from the four elders Duan Yime and Wei Buping, there were also some close disciples beside Meng Jun.

  Meng Jun didn't say a word. The anger in his heart wasn't so easily dissipated.

  "Little Brother Duan, how's it going? Have you found out anything?"

  Meng Jun's eyebrows suddenly rose, and he called out to the Fourth Elder Duan Yimiao, who was not far away.

  Four elders, Duan Yimou, knelt beside Zhang Long's body, his hands checking all the acupoints on his body.

  "No. Zhang Long's external body was almost unscathed. However, his internal organs were severely damaged. His injuries are exactly the same as those of Yue He's nephew. The fist seems to have directly penetrated his body and struck his internal organs. This kind of injury is extremely difficult to treat!"

  He shook his head and said with a thoughtful expression, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration.

  "A boxing technique like this is truly unheard of and unseen. The kind of injury it can inflict, even I couldn't do it. - Where did this kid learn it from?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

  In fact, this wasn't the first time a few people heard Duan Yimiao say these words. However, hearing them again still made it hard to accept. Among the Wu Lei Sect, from top to bottom, except for Lin Xi, no one knew of this strange fist technique. And the ancestors of the Lin family had never created such a fist technique either.

  All I can say is that the boxing skills shown by Lin Xishi are mysterious and have a complex origin!

  "No matter where he came from, he must die!"

  Meng Jun's eyebrows were like knives, emitting a deep and intense killing intent.

  "Don't kill him!!"

  Duan Yimiao and Wei Buping almost said in unison, their voices urgent. As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them suddenly realized something, exchanged a glance, and tacitly understood each other.

  Finally, Duan Yu said:

  "Master Meng, you want to kill him, I have no objection. But we must get the fist manual from him first. The power of this boxing technique, you've also seen it. Not to mention our Five Thunder Sect, even if we look at the entire sect world, even the Liuyang Sect doesn't have such a mysterious and overbearing ultimate skill!"

  "Not bad!"

  Wei Bu Ping also chimed in:

  "Senior brother, think about it. This fist technique can penetrate the skin membrane and injure internal organs. In other words, even if it's an eighth-level Golden Strength cultivator who takes a palm strike, they'll still be injured. If it falls into our hands, its power will be even greater. It's simply enough to challenge a Dragon Power Realm expert."

  Meng Jun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he also understood what the two of them meant:

  "You want the boxing manual on his body, I don't object. But you've also seen this little beast's progress. For six years he was a waste of space, now he can even beat Zhang Long. I suspect that behind this little beast, there is an expert teaching him. I even suspect that this skill might have been created by the Great Elder himself, especially for him!"

  Wei Bu Ping and Duan Yi Mei couldn't help but change their expressions upon hearing this. But thinking about it, the Five Thunder Sect wasn't a particularly large sect, so there shouldn't be any top-notch experts entering here. Moreover, with several people's cultivation, logically speaking, they should have been able to discover something.

  "Master Meng, what do you mean?"

  Duan Yimou tentatively asked.

  "Hmm! Think about it, the reaction of the elder council that day. The great elder had never interfered with the sect's affairs for decades. But this time, he made an exception for Lin Xi. Moreover, he has been in seclusion and no one knows what level his skills have reached. With his abilities, creating a world-shocking fist technique over several decades is not impossible."

  Meng Jun spoke out his speculation. On that day, if the Great Elder hadn't stepped in, Lin Ruyun and her niece might not have been able to easily dismiss the impeachment against Lin Xi.

  A senior elder who doesn't care about worldly affairs and stands aloof, no matter how high his abilities are, is of no concern to Meng Jun. It has no impact, but when this senior elder makes an exception and rides roughshod over him, that's something Meng Jun cannot tolerate.

  Although the elder did not explicitly express his attitude, it was enough for Meng Jun to feel threatened.

  "If it's the elder backing Lin Xi from behind, then things are going to get complicated..."

  Duanyi's eyebrows murmured.

  The strong in the Dragon Power Realm are extremely terrifying, even if Duan Yimiao is a strong man in the Golden Body Realm, with an indestructible physical body, he does not dare to challenge the Great Elder recklessly!

  Wei Bu Ping's face was also somewhat off, but he immediately said:

  "Things may not be as we think. If the elder really wants to take over, with our abilities, we don't even have the qualifications to compete with him. In my opinion, the key still lies with that little Lin Xi."

  Meng Jue heard the music of the lute and understood its elegant meaning:

  "What's your bright idea? With the great elder on the mountain and Lin Ruoyun, that old spinster, you should know we can't openly deal with him!"

  "Haha, senior brother, we can't deal with the Grand Elder, of course. But to restrict that kid's cultivation speed and prevent him from advancing so quickly, there is still a way. —— You forgot, as warriors, we mustn't forget our daily medicine bath and body tempering!"

  Wei Bu Ping smiled gloomily and said.

  Meng Jun was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood and burst out laughing:

  "Wei Shidi, you still have a way. That's right! From today on, let our people move out all the medicinal materials in the warehouse that are over six years old. Only leave those with the worst efficacy. I'll make arrangements with the people at the warehouse about this. Wei Shidi, Duan Shidi, please also cooperate with me on this matter."

  "It's just a small matter, no problem."

  Duan Yiwu's eyebrows rose, and Wei Ping smiled.

  Lin Xi obtained the command of the Great Elder, and had full authority to mobilize the resources of the sect. The few of them couldn't openly defy the Great Elder, but they could use their power to make it difficult for Lin Xi to get enough cultivation resources.

  Medicinal bath soaking is a daily compulsory task for martial artists. The higher the level of martial arts, the higher the requirements for the fire time of medicinal materials and the amount of medicinal materials.

  Even if Lin Xiruo was a genius, without sufficient elixirs to support him, he would be unable to make progress no matter how hard he cultivated.

  "Master, what about Long and Yue? Are we just going to let it go like this? Shouldn't we take matters into our own hands and deal with him ourselves? We can control the extent of it. Let him suffer a bit, but not so much that the Grand Elder would blame us."

  In the great hall, a young disciple in a green robe suddenly stood up and said.

  His gaze was sharp, the light in his eyes brighter than a torch. Standing there, he was like an immovable mountain, unchanged for eternity. Clearly, his cultivation was far stronger than Zhang Long and the others.

  This is Meng Jun's true disciple, whose cultivation has already reached the peak of the sixth heavy divine journey. Far surpasses Zhang Long by several degrees. Reaching the divine journey in martial arts is a new level. Strength will increase exponentially!

  A martial artist in the early stages of the Divine Movement period would be enough to take on two or three Zhang Longs, let alone a being at the peak of the Divine Movement period.

  Meng Jun's eyes showed a hint of movement. He did have the heart to severely teach Lin Xi, but after thinking about it, he shook his head:

  "Zhou Feng, I understand your intention. However, don't act rashly. Not just you, but others have also restrained me severely. In a few more days, that girl Zi Xuan will return to Wu Lei Mountain. It's said she has some news to bring back to the sect and report to the Grand Elder. You all know about her relationship with Lin Xi. Before she leaves the mountain, don't act rashly!"

  "What! Eldest Sister is coming back!"

  Zhou Feng and others heard this, all showing a shocked expression. Just like a mouse hearing a cat's cry!

  Su Zi Xuan was the disciple of Da Zhang Lao, and also the strongest among all the disciples of Wu Lei Pai. There had been rumors within the sect that she was about to break through to the eighth level of Jin Gang.

  Unlike other disciples, the eldest sister is fierce and formidable, no one in the sect can beat her. Many core disciples have suffered at her hands. Fortunately, she cannot stay in Wulei Mountain for long, within a year, there are only more than ten days when she stays in Wulei Mountain, and most of the time, she is wandering around the world, adventuring everywhere.

  Meng Jun's reason for letting his disciples collect was not that he suddenly became kind-hearted. It's just that this big sister of the Five Thunder Sect had a very good relationship with Lin Xi when they were young.

  Lin Xi has been scolded as a waste for six years, but no one has done anything too excessive to him. For example, suddenly appearing with some unexpected event, or suddenly dying. These can be said to have nothing to do with this senior sister.

  Fortunately, the great sister's heart only has martial arts. Moreover, most of the time is not spent on the mountain, and the impact on other disciples is not great. And although she is a great sister, because she is a woman, she cannot inherit the position of the sect leader, so she doesn't pose much threat to everyone else.

  "Master, we understand. For this period of time, we won't make a move on him."

  Zhou Feng's softness is quite fast.

  A good man doesn't eat a loss in front of him, everything is a fleeting cloud in the face of Master Sister!
