"I'm going back. I can't stay here for too long. If I'm discovered, we'll all be in trouble."
The Xiaoliu raised its head and looked at the sky. It smiled at Ning Qi and disappeared in a flash.
"Valley Master! Is the Valley Master there?"
Di Yan's voice came from outside.
"Senior is in seclusion."
"I'll have to trouble you to inform the Valley Master that Qingzhou Mansion has sent someone to investigate the disappearance of the Valley Master and the group of cultivators in Yellow Sand Valley. They want to see the Valley Master in person!"
"Senior is in seclusion, I'm afraid..."
Xiaodong's voice sounded somewhat awkward.
When Ning Qi heard this, he immediately left the cave and saw Di Yan's anxious expression. The two of them hurriedly bowed and greeted Ning Qi.
"Valley Master, it's good that you have come out. The messenger from Qingzhou Mansion is here! I heard that this messenger is Diao Hong's elder brother, a Mid Period of Eternal Stage Cultivator!"
Di Yan said nervously.
The gap between an Early Period of Eternal Stage and a Mid Period of Eternal Stage was incomparably huge. Even if there were a hundred Early Period of Eternal Stage Cultivators, it wouldn't be able to compare to a single Mid Period of Eternal Stage Cultivator. Unless it was the most heaven defying Heavenly Prodigy under the Seven Saints of Azure Dragon Continent, only then would they have a battle record of jumping realms and fighting an Eternal Stage.
"I understand. Let's go and take a look."
Ning Qi smiled faintly and nodded his head.
If he was still a Late Period of Battle Core Stage, perhaps he would still have some fear towards the Mid Period of Eternal Stage Cultivator. However, Ning Qi was now an Early Period of Eternal Stage Cultivator. When he broke through to the Early Period of Eternal Stage... The power of the five laws in his body has tripled. In other words... Ning Qi now possessed nearly 50,000 Laws, and his strength had increased by an unknown amount!
Cold Wind Valley Master Main Hall.
Elder Kun was currently receiving a middle-aged cultivator with a gloomy and cold expression. Elder He and Elder Leng were standing at the side, and there was a trace of anxiousness in their eyes.
This cultivator didn't come alone. He was accompanied by four Early Period of Eternal Stage Cultivator, who were sizing them up with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Your Valley Master is really big. I heard that it's only a Late Period of Battle Core Cultivator? How can a Late Period of Battle Core Cultivator be the master of a valley?"
Diao Gu looked at Elder Kun coldly. The pressure in his eyes made Elder Kun, who was a Late Period of Battle Core Stage, feel weak in his legs. He almost fell to his knees on the spot.
"This... According to the rules of Great Desert Domain, once the Valley Master killed the previous generation's Valley Master, it would naturally become the current generation's Cold Wind Valley Master..."
Elder Kun said with a bitter face.
"Rules are dead, humans are alive. The previous Valley Master, Fong Dong, is a good friend of my useless brother, Diao Hong. If he dies, won't my brother have anything to say?"
Diao Gu said coldly.
Elder He's expression changed slightly. This scene was seen by the four Early Period of Eternal Stage Cultivators. They looked at each other and their lips moved slightly.
Diao Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at Elder Kun. He said, "This time, hundreds of cultivators from Yellow Sand Valley have gone missing. I wonder what news you have heard?"
"I have been cultivating in the valley, but I have not heard anything..."
Elder Kun said in a frightened tone.
He didn't want to hide the truth for Ning Qi, but his deeds had been exposed. As an elder of Cold Wind Valley, his fate wouldn't be any better.
Diao Gu looked at Elder Kun with a smile that wasn't a smile for a long time. His expression gradually turned cold, "But someone told me that my useless brother has come to Cold Wind Valley."
"Impossible, this has never happened before!"
Elder Kun was slightly shocked and denied it.
"Is it impossible? You might know that person as well."
Diao Gu smiled faintly. He took out a magic weapon that looked like a gourd and swept it across the floor. Then, a pale and miserable figure appeared in the main hall.
"Lingdong?"
The faces of the three elders changed dramatically. How could it be him? Didn't he have a good relationship with Di Yan and the others and the Sect Leader? Why would he go and report?
The moment Lingdong appeared, he immediately crawled to Diao Gu's side and begged for mercy, "Senior, senior, I have already told you everything I know. Please forgive me for once on account of me reporting to you!"
"As expected! He has informed me!"
The eyes of the three elders instantly revealed a look of fear.
At this moment, the four Early Period of Eternal Stage Cultivators behind Diao Gu suddenly rushed out of the hall. In just ten breaths of time, they had already captured all the Late Period of Battle Core Cultivator from the Cold Wind Valley and brought them into the Valley Master Great Hall. Ye Zicheng, Ye Zilan, Gu Zhen, and the others' cultivation bases were restricted, and they were thrown onto the ground.
"Boss, there are a total of thirteen Late Period of Battle Core Cultivator in the Cold Wind Valley. All of them are here."
"I got it."
Diao Gu nodded and looked at Ye Zicheng and the others. "Tell me, did my brother, Diao Hong, come to Cold Wind Valley before?"
"No!"
Everyone was frightened by the sudden change, but when they saw Diao Gu ask such a question, they immediately knew what had happened and quickly denied it.
"Lingdong, look, the cultivators of Cold Wind Valley have denied it. This means that you are lying to me. How could my brother die in Cold Wind Valley?"
Diao Gu looked at Lingdong with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Senior! I would never dare to lie to senior. Senior Diao Hong was indeed killed by Cold Wind Valley Master. All the cultivators in Cold Wind Valley had witnessed it with their own eyes. They were lying to senior, they deserved to die ten thousand times over! "
Lingdong screamed in fear.
Only now did Ye Zicheng and the others understand why such a secret incident would leak out to the public! It was actually Lingdong, this fellow, who ran over to snitch on them?
"Damn Lingdong! This idiot! Did he really think that the other party would let him go if he went to report the truth?!"
Ye Zicheng roared in his heart.
"Oh, are they lying to me? I'll kill them then."
Diao Gu smiled and his eyes fell upon Elder Kun.
"S-senior, it's not that we want to hide it, it's just that we have to listen to the orders of the Valley Master..."
The last line of defense in Elder Kun's heart collapsed and he kneeled down in front of Diao Gu.
Elder He and Elder Leng looked at each other and saw the despair in each other's eyes. They were afraid that today's matter wouldn't be resolved peacefully.
A trace of fierceness flashed across Diao Gu's eyes. "You are finally going to admit it?"
As the popular man beside Qingzhou Mansion Lord, if he killed the Valley Master under his command without permission... If the higher ups knew about it, they would definitely be punished severely. Therefore... That was why he wanted the people of Cold Wind Valley to personally admit that they had killed his brother. This way, even if the higher-ups knew about this, this was... a personal grudge!
