Chapter 73 - The Fourth Elder

The surrounding disciples were unmoved by Guan Qing's words. As victims, they were well aware that this was definitely caused by him, and was not trying to sow discord at all.

"I didn't expect the Branch Lord to be such a thick-skinned person. However, the truth is more eloquent than words, and no matter what you do, you will never be able to escape. It's just that I am a person who values the details." Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.

If not for the fact that Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng were watching by the side, with his temper, he reckoned that these people would probably be out of luck.

"Sect Master Ling, you must have misunderstood. I swear, you are completely loyal to Beggar Gangs!" As Guan Qing spoke, he actually raised his hand with a solemn expression on his face.

Seeing that Guan Qing was such a good at acting, Ling Xiao knew that continuing to ask would not result in much, thus he turned to look at the four elders, and said sternly: "Elders, you are the pillar of the Beggar Gangs division, I believe you all know the truth, and the so called lenient with the truth, be at ease with the situation, be at ease with the situation. Don't blame me for not giving you all the chance."

When the four clan elders heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. They were probably still in the dark, and didn't know what kind of relationship there was between Guan Qing and Ling Xiao.

At this time, Guan Qing coughed lightly twice, and the four elders immediately turned around.

Very quickly, one of the elders reacted, raising his hand: "Reporting to the Sect Master Ling, all of this was suggested by the Fourth Elder, we are all in the dark."

However, when these words were spoken, many of the surrounding disciples began to angrily shout. It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with their public accusation.

The fourth elder's face was also filled with anger. He was so angry that his beard and eyes were popping out. His body trembled as he said, "You truly have no shame!" If I hadn't released the carrier pigeon to inform the Sect Master Ling in time, the Beggar Gangs's Branch Division would have been overturned by you! "

As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Qing and the remaining three elders sucked in a breath of cold air as their faces grew extremely unsightly. They hadn't expected the situation to be this grim.

"Without Fourth Elder's reminder, the Beggar Gangs Division is really going to fall. Alright, now that the truth has been revealed, all of you don't have to put on an act anymore." Ling Xiao said with a cold smile.

Hearing this, Guan Qing and the other three clan elders looked at each other, then prepared to use the lightness exercise to leave.

What they did not know was that Jiu Mozhi and the rest were already prepared, before they even had the chance to move, someone had blocked their path.

Yue Lao San, Yun Zhonghe, Jiu Mozhi and Qiao Feng were all famous figures in the Jianghu, but now that they were gathered together, their fighting strength was naturally extremely strong. Even though Wang Qing and the three elders were also top experts, they had no way of fighting against these real old Jianghu.

"Surrender, you won't be able to escape." Qiao Feng said coldly, he had seen Guan Qing and the three elders before, especially Guan Qing, and he thought that he could lift them up with one hand, but he never expected things to turn out like this. Thinking of this, Qiao Feng felt sorry for himself, and so he took the initiative to stop Guan Qing and the others.

"Sect Master Qiao!" Guan Qing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiao Feng with a raise of his hand.

"All of your actions have greatly disappointed me. It would be better for you to obediently accept the punishment of the sect's rules." Qiao Feng shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Guan Qing's face turned pale white. He knew that Qiao Feng was the only one who could save him, and now, what was waiting for him was only the cold and chilling regulation.

The other three elders also started to panic as they began to shout out indistinctly. However, no one paid any attention to them.

"Fourth Elder, please announce what kind of sect rules they have broken and how they should be dealt with." Ling Xiao gave this authority to the Fourth Elder as a form of encouragement, at the same time, he also took this opportunity to warn all the disciples in the sect about the consequences of betraying the Beggar Gangs.

The fourth elder had endured too much. Naturally, he was willing to step forward and announce this result.

After coughing twice, the crowd quietened down, and the Fourth Elder said word by word: "As the Branch Lord, Joining with the three Great Elders, they will traverse the Mu Rong family and betray the Beggar Gangs. This is a heinous crime, and according to the sect's rules, we should be executed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding disciples all began to cheer loudly, because they really hoped that these people would be severely punished.

"Alright, we'll follow the gang rules!" Kill them one day! " Ling Xiao also shouted loudly.

"Sect Master Ling, we know we were wrong! We really know our wrongs! " Guan Qing kneeled on the ground and cried loudly.

But no one paid any attention to it, after Ling Xiao ordered them to be suppressed, they once again gathered the disciples of the Beggar Gangs.

I hope everyone can give Beggar Gangs another chance. We will definitely create an even better Beggar Gangs, and at the same time, I will fulfill my previous promise to let the Fourth Elder take over from the Beggar Gangs. "Su Yun said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, Ling Xiao turned around to look at the Fourth Elder.

Hearing this, the fourth elder was a bit agitated. After taking a few deep breaths, he accepted this heavy responsibility.

Naturally, the evidence against them was conclusive. However, what Ling Xiao needed was to investigate the details clearly, and only then would he be able to find any clues regarding the Mu Rong family.

As a result of what happened to the Beggar Gangs branch, many disciples' missions were interrupted, and they needed to be reconnected. As well as the questions from the other gangs, Ling Xiao had arranged everything, mainly to assist them, since this place had already been handed over to the Fourth Elder. Ling Xiao would not interfere too much in this matter.

By the time everything settled down, three days had already passed.

In the hall, the fourth elder was sitting on a chair with a tired face with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

When footsteps were heard, the fourth elder opened his eyes again and adjusted his expression and posture.

Ling Xiao walked into the hall, and upon seeing the Fourth Elder, he smiled and said: "Fourth Elder, you look very tired. You can go and rest, and don't have to insist on meeting with me."

When the Fourth Elder heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "I'm fine, it's all thanks to Sect Master Ling personally helping us, otherwise, this would have been quite a headache. Those gangs that originally cooperated with us did not trust us very well, if it were not for Sect Master Ling helping us, it would have been very troublesome."

Ling Xiao walked to the Fourth Elder's side, patted his shoulder and said: "Even though I've appeared, it's only temporary. The cooperation that follows will still be taken seriously, and as long as we act properly, there won't be much of a problem."
