Chapter 43 The Overall Situation Has Been Decided

  Buzz!

  The earth shook, as if it couldn't bear Lin Xi's weight. That aura of swallowing the sky and sea reappeared on him once again.

  "Move mountains and rivers!"

  Lin Xi let out a loud roar and used the third move of the Qi Xuan Ba Huang Fist, "Forceful Extraction of Mountains and Rivers".

  A majestic aura, like a mountain range, burst forth from Lin Xi's body. In that instant, his weight seemed to increase by thousands of times, suppressing the entire grand hall and calming all vibrations.

  Around him, the air flows and surges, vaguely visible, with peaks and mountains, layer upon layer, a majestic landscape of mountains and rivers, a vast and powerful aura expands outward.

  Unlike the first move "Hai Na Bai Chuan" exhibited by Lin Xi earlier, Hai Na Bai Chuan has a disordered breath and is the best move for group killing and countering Meng Jun's sword. However, Li Ba Shan He is a single-target attack move.

  "Not good!"

  The elder of the Blazing Sun Sect, Jinpao Lieyan, also felt an unprecedented crisis at this moment. Lin Xi's punch was even more powerful and terrifying than the one that killed Meng Jun.

  Moreover, Lin Xi's original strength was inferior to his. However, this punch was no longer Lin Xi's own strength, but rather like a mountain range suppressing him all at once.

  "Inferno in the sky!"

  The elder of Lieyang Sect launched his final counterattack, a fierce fist force transformed into a spiral, violently rotating and heading towards Lin Xi.

  "Cheers!"

  At the same time, Lin Xi's fists also swung out fiercely.

  Boom!

  The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the Spiral Fist of the Lianyang Sect's elder only lasted for an instant before being swiftly defeated, dragging the Lianyang Sect's elder behind him to be quickly engulfed. With a loud boom, everything was reduced to powder.

  Lin Xi's previous internal fist had already dispersed more than half of the Long Lixue's vitality, and at this time, the final "Qì Tūn Bā Huáng Quán" was the final blow to seal the victory.

  "Big Brother!"

  Seeing Lin Xi kill his fellow senior brother with one punch, the last remaining elder of Lieyang Sect let out a shrill cry. His figure flashed, and he was about to abandon Elder Zhao Xiong to go and kill Lin Xi.

  "The outcome is already decided, aren't you resigned yet?"

  The Great Elder Zhao Xiong went up, exchanging fists and palms, and finally, with a wave of his sword, he swept across the last Lingyang Sect elder who had lost his mind. The sword swept past, cutting him in two, and this last Linghuo Sect elder also died instantly.

  Bang!

  Seeing the Great Elder defeat the last Dragon Power user, Lin Xi let out a breath of relief and sat down on the ground with a thud.

  His mind was originally highly concentrated, and everything outside of battle was excluded. But this time he let out a breath, suddenly feeling extremely weak all over his body, with waves of tearing pain coming from all parts of his body.

  "I'm so tired!"

  Lin Xi's mind relaxed, her body forming a large "X" shape as she lay flat on the ground.

  It's not just the internal family fist, but also the Qi Tong Ba Huang style, which are all extremely power-consuming, physically and mentally exhausting moves. This bitter battle had almost exhausted all his strength, and he couldn't even move anymore.

  "How is it? Can you still move?"

  Grand Elder Zhao Xiong carried the Fa sword and walked to Lin Xi's side, a hint of comfort and warmth on his aged face.

  This battle was a tough one, and the entire Wu Lei Sect nearly collapsed overnight.

  However, being able to witness the rise of a talented disciple in the Five Thunder Sect on this night made the Great Elder feel very delighted.

  This night's battle brought Lin Xi too many shocks!

  "Not dead yet."

  Lin Xi lay on the ground, laughing at himself.

  He now looks extremely miserable, and the Dragon Power Elder of the Liet Yang Sect doesn't know how many bones he has broken. If it weren't for Lin Xi's day-and-night bitter training under the waterfall, his skin being thicker than ordinary people, and also having an indestructible body, I'm afraid he would have died several times already.

  This severe injury will not heal for a long time.

  However, Lin Xi felt extremely satisfied in her heart.

  If it can be said that Lin Xi killed the first Dragon Power Elder by relying on schemes and ambushes, then now he has truly grown into a peak expert in the sect.

  Fighting head-on with a true strongman of the Dragon Force era, the experience and gains he brings are boundless, and will be of great benefit to his future path in martial arts.

  "Great elder...... I......"

  A hesitant voice came from a corner of the main hall, it was Han Shizhong's voice.

  Lin Xi and Da Zhang Lao exchanged a glance, both of them nodding slightly.

  Han Shizhong is not a reliable person. To put it accurately, this person is opportunistic and has an incredible ability to survive and thrive in any situation.

  Although the battle is still unclear, he always finds the right choice.

  This keen insight is simply astonishing!

  If possible, Lin Xi wouldn't mind killing him together. However, three of the Five Thunder Sect's six great elders have died. Only the Great Elder and Han Shizhong are left, while Third Elder Lin Ruyun's life or death is still unknown, and the sect's strength has been greatly reduced.

  In this case, the Five Thunder Sect could no longer afford to lose an elder.

  Moreover, Han Shizhong retreated quickly enough, and afterwards, he didn't join forces with the powerful ones of Lieyang Sect to attack Lin Xi. From this point on, it's not entirely unforgivable.

  "You go out first. Lin Xi and I need to rest for a while."

  The old man waved his hand and said.

  Han Shizhong nodded slightly and walked out of the grand hall without making a sound, his expression unreadable.

  Slept till dawn.

  When Lin Xi woke up, the elder had already left.

  "Shao Zhangmen, you're awake."

  A familiar voice echoed in her ear.

  Lin Xi opened her eyes and saw a familiar face: "Shi Jie."

  The woman standing beside Lin Xi was Li Qingling, the female disciple from outside the mountains who had been sending secret messages to Lin Xi. Lin Xi arrived at Wulei Mountain alone ahead of time, while she only arrived in the second half of the night.

  The battle has already ended at this time.

  "Shaomen, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

  Li Qingling's eyes were filled with concern. She was Lin Ruyun's disciple, and Lin Xi was Lin Ruyun's nephew. As for Lin Xi, it was natural to love the house and its crow, let alone last night's performance, which really made everyone look sideways.

  "Uh-huh. Much better."

  Lin Xi stood up, slightly adjusted his clothes, and said:

  "What about the great elder?"

  "The old man has returned to his residence. He wants you to come find him after you wake up."

  Li Qing said.

  Lin Xi nodded slightly and didn't say anything, his robes fluttering as he led the way out of the grand hall.

  After the robbery, the Five Thunder Sect was quiet, everything was as before, many battle scars had been cleaned up, and it seemed like nothing had happened.

  If it weren't for the pain still on his body, Lin Xi would even suspect that last night's battle was an illusion.

  "The rebellion has been completely put down."

  Lin Xi muttered to himself in his heart. He saw a familiar figure in the distance, directing something.

  "Elder Han didn't rest all night yesterday and put everything in order. The disciples of the sect admire him."

  Li Qing whispered in her ear, with a hint of admiration in her voice.

  She arrived last night when the battle had already stopped. And didn't know that Han Shizhong was also one of the rebellious elders.

  "This old man has a set of ways to win people over."

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  Although Lin Xi didn't have a good impression of Han Shizhong, he had to admit that Han Shizhong indeed had his own way of managing things. The impact of last night's rebellion was huge, and the Five Thunder Sect lost three elders in total, which was a great shock to the disciples within the sect.

  At this time, it is easiest for people's hearts to become disunited and scattered. If not handled properly, all 700 disciples will start running away in all directions. However, Han Shizhong was able to quickly stabilize the situation, and this ability should not be overlooked.

  Lin Xi turned these ideas over in his mind and then headed directly for the Grand Elder's residence.

  The residence of the great elder is very simple, and there is only one table in the hall, which is very crude.

  Lin Xijin entered at this time, and the elder's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, thinking about something.

  The Wulei Sect has gone through this disaster, and many of its disciples have died. After such a big incident, only he can preside over the overall situation.

  "Great Elder."

  Lin Xi said and walked over there.

  The old man heard the voice and came back to his senses:

  "It's Lin Xi, come and sit down."

  After Dai Linxi sat down, the old man looked at him and said:

  "We, the Five Thunder Sect's six great elders, are now left with only a few. The core disciples have also suffered heavy casualties. Meng Jun, Wei Bu Ping, Duan Yi Mei and others' subordinates are still in a state of panic. Even if they stay behind, they worry about being punished afterwards. Furthermore, with Wei Bu Ping's death, our sect's worldly affairs will no longer be managed by anyone. These are all matters that need to be dealt with. Lin Xi, as the young master, what do you think about these issues?"

  Lin Xi remained silent, the Great Elder's words were obviously well-considered. Although Lin Xi had never managed these matters before, Wu Lei Sect was founded by his ancestors and many of its elites had been lost; emotionally and rationally, he had to take over now.

  Even if he didn't know how before, now he must start learning too.

  Lin Xi thought for a moment before speaking:

  "People's hearts are scattered, this is an unavoidable thing. Moreover, Meng Jun and Wei Bu Ping have been operating for many years, their disciples are only loyal to them, not loyal to the sect. Even if they stay, it may not necessarily be a good thing. In my opinion, it's better to make it clear to them that last night's matter has nothing to do with them. If you want to leave, you can leave. If you want to stay, you can also choose to stay on your own accord. Everything will be handled according to the previous rules."

  "Lin Xi, you'd better think carefully. Our Five Thunder Sect originally had only 700 disciples. Once your words get out, many people may leave. At that time, the ones left behind might be less than 300, and they'll still be low-level disciples."

  The old man's face was grave.

  "I understand."

  Lin Xi nodded slightly, indicating that he had indeed considered it:

  "The most important thing for a sect is loyalty. As for the core disciples, they can be nurtured. Rather than leaving behind a group of people with ulterior motives, it's better for us to cultivate a new batch of disciples. At least, their loyalty to the sect won't be a problem."

  The old man's long eyebrows stretched out and he finally nodded in relief:

  "Lin Xi, you've really grown up, with careful thoughts and your own ideas. What you said is right, it's better to disperse them rather than leaving behind a group of disciples with different minds. This coincides with my own thoughts. Moreover, our sect has just gone through a great calamity, and now is the time when we need to stabilize people's hearts. So, there's something I hope you can agree to."

  "The great elder has given orders."

  Lin Xi said without hesitation.

  "Lin Xi, I hope you take over as the leader!"

  The old man's face was solemn.
