Chapter 257 The Great Elder's Hole Card "VIP?"
The Great Elder of Lingxu Sect's expression moved slightly, and he smiled at the housekeeper and said, "But someone is coming from the capital?"
When he thought about it, the person who could be called a distinguished guest by the city lord's palace and had the city lord personally come out to receive him must be a big shot in the capital.
Most likely he will be a mid-stage foundation builder! The thoughts of several people began to come alive.
"This...it's hard for me to say. Let's wait until I pass the news to several people."
The butler smiled bitterly and then left.
"Ok?"
The first elder was slightly startled and looked at the second and third elders with a strange expression: "Even if it's a foundation-building senior from the capital, he won't be able to keep his mouth shut and dare not speak."
"Could it be the one from the Qingzhou Sword Sect?"
The second elder whispered: "That sword cultivator said that he killed Yao Dan. If the Qingzhou Sword Sect knows this, he will definitely come forward!"
"The leader of the Qingzhou Sword Sect is in the middle stage of foundation building. If he is also in Lingxu City, maybe we can get back to the sect's site."
The Great Elder muttered to himself.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, can you stop thinking about this so much."
The third elder smiled bitterly and said: "That's a sword cultivator. Do you really want to cause death for yourself?"
"That's what I say... But are you willing to do it, Third Brother?"
The Great Elder's eyes were cold: "Our magic weapons, spiritual stones, and even spiritual medicines and spiritual materials are all left on top.
Not to mention anything else, the Lingyuan Pill for the three of us was given by the sect master. We originally planned to swallow it together after getting the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future to improve the chance of Foundation Establishment, but what about now? "
"This……"
The three elders looked complicated.
The three of them have been refusing to take this Lingyuan Pill because they have reached the twelfth level of Qi refining and it is useless to take it.
But if you want to be promoted to Foundation Establishment, with the blessing of a Lingyuan Pill, the chance of success will be slightly higher.
"The matter of Foundation Establishment... is far away, and you and I both know this. Not to mention that the spiritual material of the Foundation Establishment Pill is difficult to find, so what if we find it?
The elixir-forming rate is frighteningly low. Even if the alchemist we can find makes ten furnaces, he may not be able to form a single elixir..."
The third elder sighed softly: "It was by chance that the sect master obtained a finished foundation-building pill in a secret realm in the fifth-grade empire, and then set foot in this realm.
Such an opportunity is difficult to imitate. Now we are facing a sword cultivator. Instead of worrying about these gains and losses, it is better to focus on joining the sect master.
If we can find her, our Lingxu Sect can find a similar sect site, and we no longer need to be enemies with Jian Xiu. These people are all lunatics. "
The first elder and the second elder did not study the way of swords deeply, and their understanding of sword cultivation was not as good as the third elder. They still had the slightest intention of killing them back.
"Is it……"
A flash of scarlet suddenly flashed in the Great Elder's eyes: "I want to see if the sword cultivator is really as tyrannical as you said."
After saying this, he suddenly took out a spiritual talisman and burned it.
"Messenger?"
The second elder and the third elder were a little surprised and asked quickly: "Elder brother, are you contacting the sect leader?"
"If what that sword cultivator said is true, the sect master has been injured and escaped, what's the use of contacting her? The person I want to contact... is not afraid of any sword cultivator!"
A faint sneer flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.
The second elder and the third elder were both a little frightened. It seemed that their senior brother still had some cards in his possession.
Not long after, the butler reappeared in front of everyone, smiled at the three people and said: "The city lord invites three people to come over."
The three of them looked at each other and stood up slowly: "Thank you."
The three of them were brought to the banquet by the housekeeper. When they saw a lean old man sitting opposite the Lord of Lingxu City, they couldn't help but have a flash of curiosity in their eyes.
They had never seen this lean old man before and had no idea where he came from.
"I'll pay my respects to the city lord." The three of them clasped their fists and saluted.
The Lord of Lingxu City nodded calmly: "The three of them don't go down the mountain all year round. Why did they all go down to Lingxu Mountain today?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across the Great Elder's face, and after a few breaths of silence he said: "Lingxu Sect has been accepted."
take over……? The Lord of Lingxu City was slightly startled, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Where is your sect master?"
"The sect master went to Biyue Temple for something, but I heard that she had been seriously injured and escaped."
The elder said in a low voice.
Lingxu City Lord's eyes narrowed slightly: "Be more detailed, what is going on."
The Lord of Tongjiao Island looked at the three of them, then poured himself a drink, as if he had no interest in what the three of them said.
The Great Elder slowly told the story. He heard about the Lingxu Sect Master from Fang Chen and was just paraphrasing it.
As for what happened just now, he told it with added embarrassment. When he mentioned that the visitor was a young swordsman, the eyes of the master of Tongjiao Island changed.
"Sword cultivator!? Why would such a lunatic appear in Lingxu City!? Why would you, Lingxu Sect Master, provoke them?"
Lingxu City Lord's expression suddenly changed.
As a foundation builder, he had the honor to meet a sword cultivator, so he had a very deep understanding of the meaning of these two words.
The Great Elder smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that the sect master doesn't know his origin. Now that Lingxu Sect has been taken over by him, the auction is expected to start in a few days."
"I can't help with this matter."
Lingxu City Master slowly shook his head: "Don't say it's me. None of the city masters in the Fire Nation's hundreds of cities want to make enemies with the sword cultivator. You'd better choose another sect and start over."
Although they already understood the result, the three of them were still a little disappointed.
"You just said... Yao Dan of the Qingzhou Sword Sect also died in the hands of this swordsman?"
Lord Lingxu asked again.
The Great Elder nodded slightly: "That's true, but this is just a family opinion, and we can't be sure yet."
"Ah."
The Lord of Lingxu City nodded slowly, "I'll teach you a way to gather some spirit stones and buy them back when he auctions your sect's site."
After saying that, he casually found an excuse to ask the butler to see off the guests.
When the three of them saw that Lingxu City Lord didn't want to settle them down at all, they didn't waste any time and left the City Lord's Mansion with his disciples.
"This old ghost was also frightened by the word sword repair."
The great elder sneered repeatedly as he left, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"this is necessary."
The third elder murmured.
"Isn't that a monk from Lingxu Sect?"
A man and a woman entered the city lord's mansion and happened to see the great elder and others leaving together. A flash of surprise could not help but appear in their eyes.
"Miss, Mr. Lin, just come back. The city lord is already hosting a banquet for distinguished guests. You two, come with me."
The housekeeper's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the two of them.
The woman has a fresh and refined appearance, and her aura is no weaker than that of the Jade Fairy in Daxia.
She asked the housekeeper: "What are the monks of Lingxu Sect doing here?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "I don't know."
"Zi Han, let's go see the distinguished guest first. The city lord is so anxious to find you back, so he must be of high status."
The young man beside him warned in a low voice.
