Chapter 713: What now?
Chapter 713: What now?
Huang Xie explained, "When I thought that I was about to be crushed, I found that I suddenly sank into the ground. Then when I realized what happened, I was beside the elder."
Mo Xue gave a nod as he added, "That was my Blood Palm Art. I created a pool of blood under him and pulled him out of the pressure."
Huang Xie gave a grateful nod to Mo Xue before continuing, "The elder knew that it was dangerous for me to reveal myself after he saved me, so we waited for the right time to strike."
Xiao Ming didn't care for his explanation at all as she raised one hand.
Huang Xie was confused when he saw this, but then his breath was knocked out of him as Xiao Ming's fist hit him right in the stomach. She didn't hold back at all as she punched him right in the gut.
Huang Xie's physique should have protected him from this punch if it was working normally, but…
It didn't seem to activate when it was Xiao Ming that was punching him.
No one really paid attention to this, but it seemed like Xiao Ming had become a weakness for Huang Xie.
It had reached the point where he wasn't even willing to use his physique to defend against her. It was something that happened naturally, so he couldn't stop it if he wanted to.
If someone wanted to hurt him in the future, it might be possible if they used Xiao Ming's hands…
After knocking the breath out of him, Xiao Ming said, "If you do it again, I'll kill you myself."
Huang Xie revealed an awkward look when he heard this, but he still gave a nod in the end.
It was then that everyone else started hitting Huang Xie as well, but they weren't able to hurt him like Xiao Ming was able to. It seemed like his physique was working properly for them and they couldn't even scratch his skin.
Not that they didn't try.
Yu Huang even pulled out his sword and slashed at Huang Xie, but it was all blocked by the light green glow that appeared around Huang Xie.
After they gave Huang Xie a hard time, they turned back to Mo Xue who was still waiting there with Mo Sha.
Everyone thanked him before Xiao Ming asked, "Elder, what do we do now?"
Mo Xue just gave a shrug as he said, "Do what you want, it's up to you."
With that, he waved his hand and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone who saw him disappear couldn't help revealing strange looks since they never expected him to just disappear like this. After all, they thought that he had stayed here for a reason.
They never thought that he stuck around just to say this before disappearing.
Mo Sha had a bitter smile on his face since he knew what kind of personality his grandfather had.
Doing something like this was actually quite normal for him.
Xiao Ming had an awkward look on her face for a bit before saying, "Then shall we head in deeper?"
Everyone else just gave a slight nod in response since there really wasn't anything else that they could do here.
…
Inside of the Martial Might Sect's main building.
There were two old men who had their shirts opened up to reveal blood red palm prints on their chests. Both of them were just looking at their palm prints as if they were inspecting them.
The problem was that neither of them seemed to know what to do about these blood red palm prints that were on their chests.
In the end, Ye Jian said, "Well, do you have any ideas?"
Huo Wang shook his head with a bitter look on his face.
The two of them never would have expected this to be the way that their plan ended.
They had been certain that with the two of them, they would be able to take care of a few kids…
But all of a sudden, there was that Mo Xue that appeared out of nowhere.
Well, it wasn't that he appeared out of nowhere.
They had already been half expecting to see him after seeing the movement of the Demon Palm Sect, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
They had heard about how he was a cultivator that excelled in his generation, but they never expected him to be so strong that he would be able to take down both of them at the same time. He had even been able to seal their powers with this blood red palm.
The two of them just sat there in silence with helpless looks on their faces.
But it wasn't as if time would stay still for them.
They had to do something or else they would receive their punishment from their sects.
For a blunder of this magnitude, there was no doubt that what would be coming is death.
"What do we do now?" Ye Jian asked in a somewhat hopeful voice.
He had no idea what to do, so he could only hope that Huo Wang would have some kind of idea.
But to his disappointment, Huo Wang just shook his head and said, "I have no idea."
Neither of them knew what to do, this was the worst case scenario.
However, Ye Jian suddenly thought of something.
"That sect master of the Love Sect, he must be behind this." Ye Jian suddenly narrowed his eyes as he said this.
Huo Wang also narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.
The way that the two of them looked at each other, it was clear that there was some kind of idea that was forming in their minds. It seemed that they were planning on doing something towards Lin Fan…
It was just that there was one thing that they couldn't do.
They couldn't reveal their current condition to him and they couldn't reveal that they had planned to do something to the Love Sect group during this.
After all, if it was revealed, then it would put them in a more precarious position.
If they found out afterwards, then they would have time to prepare and keep them quiet, but before that…
They couldn't let this information be revealed.
So these two had to think carefully about what they were going to say.
In the end, they still called Lin Fan to come and talk to them.
When Lin Fan arrived, he was naturally surprised to have been called to see the two old men. But the moment that he saw them, he was even more surprised by the information that he received from his Appraisal Eyes.
Blood Palm Seal.
With the difference in power, Lin Fan shouldn't have been able to see anything from the two of them. That was what had happened last time when he had met these two old men.
But this time, he was able to see everything.
The state of Blood Palm Seal seemed to have weakened them and he could see that they were only in the Nascent Soul Realm.
They weren't even in Peak Nascent Soul Realm, they were actually barely in the Nascent Soul Realm, which was what had allowed him to see through their information.
It seemed that they had been seriously injured in whatever confrontation had happened.
Lin Fan had already guessed that there would be some kind of move made by these two, but he never knew what it was. Now it seemed like it had already passed and they had suffered because of it.
So the only thing that he should do is…
Play dumb.
As long as he acted dumb and denied any knowledge, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
After all, he knew that they wanted to keep whatever happened a secret.
However, who was it that was able to hurt them like this?
Lin Fan couldn't help thinking of the voice that he had heard that night when he had come back from meeting these two.
Could it be the owner of that voice?
If he had to guess who the owner of that voice was, he would guess that it was someone related to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After he came in, the two old men looked at him with stern looks on their faces that seemed like something was wrong, but neither of them said a thing.
Lin Fan acted like he didn't see this as he just sat there in front of them with a calm look on his face.
Finally, the two old men couldn't take it anymore and Ye Jian said, "Do you know why we've called you here?"
Lin Fan went along and revealed a surprised look before shaking his head.
Both Ye Jian and Huo Wang narrowed their eyes as they looked at him, as if they were trying to figure out if he was lying or not.
But in the end, they couldn't see anything strange from them.
So Ye Jian just simply said, "There has been movement from the Demon Palm Sect. Since the disciples of your sect are with their disciples, I want to see if you know anything."
The tone of his voice made it clear that he was accusing Lin Fan of something, but Lin Fan just had the same confused and surprised look as he shook his head once more.
Ye Jian and Huo Wang took a deep breath before releasing their pressure to suppress Lin Fan.
After this pressure fell on him, Ye Jian said, "Are you sure about that?"
