Chapter 113: Confrontation

  Lin Xi was sizing up Long Bingyan at the same time that Long Bingyan was also sizing up Lin Xi.

  As the Holy Maiden of Shen Xiao Sect, she has gone to such great lengths to deal with a humble registered disciple, which is already an exception for Long Bingyan.

  Long Bingyan also wanted to see what kind of person this little figure was, who had repeatedly miscalculated and caused trouble for himself.

  "This little guy is a threat. He must die!"

  It was as if without any reason, at the moment he saw Lin Xi, Long Bingyan's eyelids twitched and a strong sense of threat arose in his heart.

  Few people gave her such a strong sense of threat at first sight, especially when the object was a named disciple far inferior to her.

  It was a very subtle feeling, no reason to talk about it, completely an instinctive intuition, but Long Bingyan was deeply convinced. This feeling had helped her many times, getting rid of potential opponents.

  And afterwards, it was completely proven that she was right!

  Lin Xi's cultivation was not in the eyes of Long Bingyan, what made her concerned was that special thing bursting from Lin Xi's deep heart.

  Long Bingyan felt that what she saw was a huge boulder. Unwavering, always moving forward, once the goal is set, nothing can sway it!

  "This little brat will be my greatest trouble if he grows up!"

  Long Bingyan now only had one thought left. She originally thought she had high expectations of Lin Xi, but when she really saw him, she realized that she still underestimated him.

  This humble disciple, who is still unknown now, has already possessed the qualities that a top strong man must have! Growing up is just a matter of time.

  Neither of them knew that in their first glance at each other, the evaluation they gave to the other side was very close to some extent.

  At this time, compared with Long Bingyan's heart of killing and then rejoicing, Li Wuzi's mood was much more calm.

  In Li Wuji's view, since Long Bingyan had already decided to take action against Lin Xi, then Lin Xi was already a dead man.

  Li Wuji was more curious about Lin Xi at this time!

  "As expected, he's a remarkable person! No wonder he dared to rob the disciples of the Cuō Rù and Tài ā schools, even though he was just a nominal disciple. Even our senior sister wants to kill him!"

  Li Wujie couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration and respect when he saw Lin Xi.

  This was not Li Wuzi's first time seeing Lin Xi, but it was the first time he had looked at him so carefully face to face.

  Li Wuji was immediately drawn in by something on Lin Xi's body at first glance.

  That thing is not Lin Xi's cultivation, nor his eyes, nor his appearance, but his "calmness"!

  Li Wuji was the first to see, a person who came to Duanyan Peak and faced the most severe and cruel protector of the Shenyue Sect, yet appeared so calm, extremely calm.

  He even had spare energy to size himself up!

  This is something even Li Wuzi himself cannot achieve.

  Li was extremely impressed!

  People always have respect for things they can't do themselves but others can.

  Li Wu Yi is also like this!

  "This young man is truly a dragon among men! Unfortunately, he has offended his senior sister!"

  Li felt secretly disappointed in his heart.

  Few people can make such a deep impression on him.

  To the dead, Li Wuji was always very generous. Although, that was his opponent!

  If possible, Li Wuzi still hopes to be friends with such a person!

  "Lin Xi, you have quite a nerve!"

  A voice suddenly broke the silence, like thunder shaking with anger, rumbling incessantly, from the towering cloud-like peak of Judgment Peak, rolling down, every word spat out, as if a huge stone millstone was crushing down.

  For a moment, the entire Judgement Peak was buzzing with anger, as if it couldn't withstand the owner's rage!

  Lin Xi couldn't see the Guardian Elder, but he could sense his presence.

  Ordinary disciples, upon hearing the name of the Guardian Elder, were already trembling with fear. Feeling the wrath of the Guardian, they had long been shaking in their boots, filled with trepidation and terror.

  However, Lin Xi was an exception.

  Almost as soon as he saw Long Bingyan, Lin Xi's mind had filtered through the entire incident and vaguely understood Long Bingyan's plan.

  He bowed his body and then calmly knelt down on the steps:

  "Disciple Lin Xi, having seen the Guardian Elder. Forgive Lin Xi's ignorance, not understanding why the elder is enraged. Lin Xi asks himself about his usual behavior, conforming to rules and regulations, without any transgressions, and requests the elder's clear discernment!"

  "Hum! You still dare to quibble, I'll ask you, did you plunder the treasures of the disciples of the Zhuan and Tai'a factions in the Black Dragon Space?"

  The voice of the protector elder was like thunder, exploding in Lin Xi's ear.

  "You've come so quickly!"

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  Hei Long space, he thought to himself that he had done a pretty good job of covering his tracks and hadn't left any clues behind. Originally, he had estimated that even if the Tu Shuai Palace did come looking for him, it would take some time before they arrived, but unexpectedly, they had shown up so quickly and were closing in on him so tightly.

  This was far beyond Lin Xi's expectations.

  Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. He was convinced that since the Guardian Elder dared to summon him here and interrogate him in person, it was unlikely to be just a simple case of grasping at straws.

  "The matter of Long Egg and Long Dan is probably impossible to conceal!"

  Lin Xi's heart was clear.

  To say nothing of the others, just the ring of Qinglian Holy Girl alone is not passable. The elder's authority is not ordinary, if asked, Qinglian Holy Girl may not dare to conceal it either.

  Lin Xixin's mind moved slightly, and she immediately spoke up:

  "Returning to the elder. Lin Xi accepted the sect's mission and went to the Black Dragon realm. Indeed, he obtained the dragon dan and dragon egg. However, it was not taken from the disciples of Mount Tu and Tai Ah. It was unexpectedly picked up by chance. Since the elder asked, the disciple also has something to report. The disciples of Mount Tu and Tai Ah saw that the disciple had a mid-grade artifact and, seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, wanted to kill him and steal the treasure, taking it by clever means. If not for the disciple's quick thinking and accidentally escaping with his life, he would have probably been killed by Zhou Kelai, a disciple of Mount Tu Palace. This matter is absolutely true..."

  "Shut up!!"

  Lin Xi's words were cut off by the Guardian Elder:

  "The token of the Dou Shuai Palace elder has already been presented before me. The evidence is conclusive, and you still dare to quibble. You are just a minor disciple, what virtue or ability do you have to allow disciples from both the Dou Shuai and Tai Ah schools to take advantage of you? If what you say is true, wouldn't it be that the elder of the Dou Shuai Palace is telling lies? The Dou Shuai Palace is a major school of the Immortal Path, how could they possibly engage in such conduct. You, a minor disciple, dare to slander the reputation of an elder from a major school of the Immortal Path, truly despicable and contemptible! If you don't speak the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  In the Grand Hall of Judgment, golden light flashed, and the voice of the Guardian Elder was cold and ruthless, with a hint of murderous intent, coming from the void.

  Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat.

  The status of the Dharma-protecting elder was prestigious, and he had thought that the Dharma-protecting elder had only been deceived by Long Bingyan or misled by the Tushita Palace. As long as he explained the situation, it was not necessarily impossible to let the Dharma-protecting elder see through the facts and recognize Long Bingyan's conspiracy.

  However, unexpectedly, the venerable elder of the Shenying Sect, actually listened to one side. Whatever the elder of the Tushita Palace said, he believed it. And as a disciple of the Shenying Sect himself, not only did he not show favoritism, but he even interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

  Moreover, the fact that Zhou Ke reported wanting to kill and rob is true. The Guardian Elder didn't even investigate, but simply took the word of the Tianlu Palace Elder and determined that I was lying!

  "Lin Xi, stop making excuses. The elder of the Tushita Palace has also passed on the token to me. Your actions of borrowing my reputation to deceive the disciples of the Tushita and Tai'a sects, while also cleverly taking advantage of them and framing me for your own misdeeds, have been exposed. With the elder's discerning eye, you are on the brink of death, yet you still refuse to repent?"

  Long Bingyan's voice was cold and came from above.

  Long Bingyan's words were vicious, on one hand, they flattered the Guardian Elder, and on the other hand, they pushed Lin Xi to his death.

  Lin Xi's eyes turned cold. So many things had happened, all caused by this woman. His aunt, Lin Ruyun, could also be said to have died indirectly at her hands.

  At this time, seeing her still wanting to use the Guardian Elder's hands to get rid of herself, how could he not be angry.

  However, Lin Xi was not an impulsive or short-tempered person. The current situation was extremely unfavorable to himself, and the more it was like this, the more he needed to remain calm.

  "Long Bingyan, don't stir up trouble. I didn't intend to question the elder, but I also won't be swayed by you. You think you can deceive me with your clever words and expressions in front of the elder? I ask you, if you're so certain that I stole from Chu Ze and Tai Ah Zong, where's the evidence? As a mere named disciple who only entered the Refining Qi realm after receiving the Hundred Pulse Pill from Elder Dan Ding, how could I possibly steal from two strong Refining Qi three-layer cultivators? This is a clear-cut matter of right and wrong, and anyone with discerning eyes can see it. How can you turn things upside down?"

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  Lin Xi did not blame the Guardian Elder, but instead pointed at Long Bingyan with a hint of warning. Indirectly, he was also awakening the Guardian Elder, implying that there were other hidden meanings and hoping he would consider them carefully.

  Lin Xi's seizure of the Douluo and Tai'a factions' achievements is a fact, but the disciples of Douluo and Tai'a plotting to steal the treasure and kill people is also a fact. Moreover, this Black Dragon Dan and Dragon Egg, the Douluo and Tai'a factions also obtained it through improper means, forcing the North Dipper Palace to hand it over.

  Lin Xi snatched Zhou Ke's things, which is nothing. It's just a matter of one evil person preying on another!

  If Shen Xiao Sect is willing to investigate this matter thoroughly, it will be easy to clarify. Lin Xi will definitely be punished, and I'm afraid that Dou Lüe and Tai A will also lose face completely.

  As long as the sect can handle things fairly and justly, Lin Xi is willing to accept some punishment for this, and will not complain.

  "Shut up! The right and wrong are complicated, I have my own judgment. Do you need to argue for me?"

  The voice of the elder guardian was stern and icy, floating down.

  Lin Xi heard this and her breath caught in her throat, her heart suddenly cooling by half.

  The Guardian Elder's words were already obviously biased towards Long Bingyan. In fact, Lin Xi felt that he hadn't even listened to what he was saying.

  A fair and stern elder, shouldn't he carefully consider, investigate repeatedly, and then make a decision? At least, shouldn't he give himself a chance to prove himself?

  Lin Xi looked at his own Long Bingyan with a cold eye, then looked at the peak of Caidie, vaguely, as if he had understood something.
