Chapter 266: Resentment

"Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion disappeared?"

Everyone looked at Elder Lei, all feeling a little surprised.

Mo Xiu was not very surprised at why this Elder Lei was suspicious of him.

After all, the Teleportation Array teleported him to that area. The elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect would not be unclear about it.

More importantly, this Elder Lei was the owner of the Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion. He must know that the Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion disappeared nearby. In that case, the most suspicious person was Mo Xiu.

He looked at Elder Lei and asked blankly, "Who are you?"

"Lei Zhen, one of the nine elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect," Elder Lei responded indifferently.

"Lei Zhen?"

Mo Xiu secretly wrote down this name and immediately said, "Your Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion disappears, but you point your finger at me?"

"Don't quibble!"

Lei Zhen snorted, "I know exactly where the Teleportation Array of the Everlasting Sword Sect is connected to the Seraphic Sword Sect. My Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion disappeared in that place. It has been abandoned for a long time. No one will pass by. The only person who appeared in that place and has the ability to kill my Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion is you!"

"..."

Mo Xiu was silent, he turned his head aside as if he didn't want to bother with Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen suddenly became angry, "Mo Xiu, this is your attitude? Very good, in that case, I have to teach you a lesson today and let you admit it personally!"

As he said, he raised his hand and a sword glowing with thunder and lightning appeared in his hand.

Seeing Lei Zhen's posture about to attack, the elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect in the hall were shocked.

They knew that Lei Zhen's temper was not very good, but this was too irritable, right?

In addition, Mo Xiu, the elder from the Seraphic Sword Sect, was too unlucky.

He encountered this disastrous star as soon as he came to the Everlasting Sword Sect.

"Elder Lei!" Cao Tianfang was naturally unwilling to allow Lei Zhen to move his hands in the hall. He hurriedly scolded, "Divine Cloud Hall is an important place for discussion. How can you be so presumptuous!?"

Lei Zhen didn't do anything, but did he not put the sword away either.

He glanced at Cao Tianfang and said unwillingly, " Sect Master, I can't dirty the Divine Cloud Hall, but..."

While speaking, he pointed at Mo Xiu with his finger, "Shouldn't this guy give me an explanation?"

"Explanation? When I, Mo Xiu, act, do I still need to explain to you?" Mo Xiu glanced at Lei Zhen intimidatingly.

"You...!" Lei Zhen suddenly became angry.

Cao Tianfang looked at Mo Xiu, then at Lei Zhen, and sighed, "Elder Lei, I understand your situation. But I think this matter should not be done by Elder Mo. With his strength, there is probably no way to deal with it. There's no way to kill the Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion so quietly. Besides, he is now the elder of our Everlasting Sword Sect. Before you accuse him, you should show evidence first."

"Evidence... where can I get it? If I say someone saw it, can you believe it?" Lei Zhen said with an unsightly expression.

"Whether I can believe it or not, you first show the evidence before you speak," Cao Tianfang said seriously.

Lei Zhen gritted his teeth hatefully. He was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "I have no evidence."

"In that case, instead of making trouble here unreasonably, I think you might as well seek evidence first," Cao Tianfang said. "As long as the evidence is conclusive, even if Elder Mo does not want to admit it, we will follow the rules of the sect to punish Elder Mo. I won't shield him because of his special status. Are you satisfied now?"

Naturally, Lei Zhen would not be satisfied.

But things had already reached this point. If he continued to make trouble, he might not only fail to explain, but in the end, he might also be ridiculed by others.

He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Mo Xiu, and said coldly, "Are you happy now?"

"..."

Mo Xiu still didn't plan to pay attention to Lei Zhen, and even ignored Lei Zhen's gaze.

Lei Zhen snorted and said, "Don't think that you can be happy if I can't find the evidence. Even if I can't find the evidence, I still have to count this account on your head. You'd better be more careful during your time in the Everlasting Sword Sect. Otherwise, I will let you know the fate of offending me!"

This could be regarded as openly declaring war on Mo Xiu. If Mo Xiu encountered any situation in the future, he could move this sentence out and sue Lei Zhen.

However, Lei Zhen was not afraid at all.

As one of the nine elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect, if he wanted to rectify Mo Xiu, he did not need to use any scheming methods at all.

He could teach Mo Xiu openly.

He just wanted to tell Mo Xiu clearly, put pressure on Mo Xiu, let Mo Xiu be scared, and let Mo Xiu know the consequence of offending him.

After warning Mo Xiu, Lei Zhen put away the sword in his hand, turned and left the hall.

The elders in the hall looked at each other and finally all looked at Cao Tianfang.

Cao Tianfang was a little helpless, but he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand to let the crowd disperse.

...

The peak designated to Mo Xiu was named Wonder Sword Peak, which was relatively remote among the peaks of the Everlasting Sword Sect. But it was relatively close to the location of the Teleportation Array that connected the Everlasting Sword Sect to the Seraphic Sword Sect.

No one had lived in Wonder Sword Peak before. It was a peak that had just been opened up. There was only a small courtyard above the peak, which was established not long ago.

In order to take care of Mo Xiu, the sect also sent two handyman disciples to the Wonder Sword Peak.

Two handyman disciples, one man and one woman. They had mediocre talents, and their strength was very weak. But they also had no choice. If they really had the talent and strength, they would've become official disciples a long time ago.

The man's name was Qin Shao, and the woman's name was Liu Hongying. They were both young, and they all seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

They seemed to be a little unhappy about being assigned to Wonder Sword Peak as handymen.

But no matter what, Mo Xiu was also an elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect. Even if they were unhappy, they could only hold back in their hearts and did not dare to show it.

Otherwise, they might be driven out or beaten to death by Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu naturally wouldn't beat people to death. He couldn't say he liked or hated these two handyman disciples.

After he let the two of them choose a room by themselves, he called them to the front and asked, "As an elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect, am I eligible to recruit a few apprentices?"

"Yes."

Liu Hongying nodded, "But elder, your situation is quite special, and it may not be easy to recruit those highly qualified apprentices."

"For those who have just passed the assessment and joined the Everlasting Sword Sect this year, can I recruit them as my apprentices?" Mo Xiu asked again.

"Of course."

It was Liu Hongying who answered, "Nevertheless, those with higher qualifications tested this year have almost all been booked by the major elders. Even if you want to accept disciples, you'd better ask the major elders."

Mo Xiu nodded gently.

It seemed that the Everlasting Sword Sect was a bit different from the Seraphic Sword Sect.

The disciples didn't need to stay in the outer sect for a year to train themselves. As long as their talent was high enough, even if they just joined the Everlasting Sword Sect, they were eligible to become a disciple of an elder.

However, what Liu Hongying said was understandable.

People with high talents would definitely be targeted by those senior elders. Let alone Mo Xiu accepting disciples, even if it was really his turn to accept disciples, it was estimated that those people were unwilling to worship Mo Xiu as a teacher.

After all, Mo Xiu's status was quite special among the many Everlasting Sword Sect elders today.

People with high talents might not be able to attract Mo Xiu. To Mo Xiu, those people were just geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people, they might not be qualified to worship Mo Xiu.

What Mo Xiu needed are potential geniuses or geniuses that ordinary people couldn't find, such as Xing Yuyan at the time, and Ming Huang that he met before.

Generally speaking, the genius he fancied was not seen by others, and the genius in the eyes of others was also despised by him. Therefore, he should not conflict with other elders in the matter of accepting disciples.

However, he didn't know much about the situation of the people who had just joined the Everlasting Sword Sect this time.

Even if he wanted to accept a few apprentices, he had to check the situation first.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Are there any information about those who joined the Everlasting Sword Sect this year?"

"Yes, but you must ask for it at the Extreme Sword Hall with the identity as an elder," Liu Hongying replied.

"Extreme Sword Hall?"

Mo Xiu extended his Divine Consciousness and found the location of the Extreme Sword Hall.

Then, he took out the identity jade plaque and handed it to Liu Hongying, and said lightly, "Go and ask for a piece of information for me."

Just as Liu Hongying was about to take over the identity jade medal, Qin Shao said, "Elder, let me go, I'm more familiar with it over there."

Mo Xiu glanced at Qin Shao, then looked at Liu Hongying. Liu Hongying nodded slightly before handing over the identity jade plaque to Qin Shao.

Mo Xiu waved his hand, "Go early and return early."

"Yes."

Qin Shao nodded and left Wonder Sword Peak with the jade plaque that represented Mo Xiu's identity and headed to the Extreme Sword Hall.

Although the Extreme Sword Hall was regarded as a core place in the Everlasting Sword Sect, it was not to the point that ordinary people couldn't enter it.

But at least it was necessary to hold the identity of the elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect to enter.

There were several elders inside and outside the Extreme Sword Hall. There were more female elders in here. Those who were working in the Extreme Sword Hall were the apprentices of those elders, but most of them were also female disciples.

A lot of information was kept here, even some of the confidential information of the Everlasting Sword Sect.

Only a small part of the information existed in paper form. Most of the information was engraved in the information jade slip so that the content of the jade slip could not be viewed before the jade slip was activated.

Of course, even if the information existed in paper form, people outside could not view it with Divine Consciousness either.

Basically, the entire Extreme Sword Hall was isolated from Divine Consciousness. If people didn't enter it, they wouldn't normally know what was going on inside.

Qin Shao brought the jade plaque with the identity of Mo Xiu to the Extreme Sword Hall, and as soon as he entered it, he was approached by someone inside.
