Chapter 1240: Chapter 1243: Revelation (Part 2)
At this moment, he smiled faintly, exuding a strange aura that surged towards the three people.
The three elders, though quite advanced in age, were not considered old among the Innate.
They also had combat experience and strong intuition.
Immediately, they sensed some of Lin Xi’s actions.
Just as they were about to counter, they suddenly froze completely.
In an instant, fear appeared on their faces.
It was as if they had thought of something terrifying.
Within just three seconds, the elder who initially questioned, Elder Mei, snorted coldly.
The three of them then broke free from the Illusion Realm.
At that moment, their faces turned slightly pale.
When they looked at Lin Xi again, there was a great deal of fear and vigilance on their faces.
They were no longer as arrogant, conceited, or dismissive as before.
"Who are you?" Elder Mei looked at Lin Xi, asking as if facing a formidable enemy.
This change was only sensed by Princess Consort Le and Yue Chan.
Princess Consort Le had Innate Power, so sensing it was not difficult.
She had never thought that Lin Xi possessed such a terrifying technique.
This technique was unheard of.
If coordinated well, she could launch an attack when Lin Xi initiated it, definitely able to take down one person.
But if it really came down to it, she was somewhat reluctant to harm one of them.
After all, these were the absolute forces within the sect.
Moreover, they were also deceived.
Or perhaps, even if they were aware of some clues, they didn’t expose them.
Some things, in their eyes, weren’t important.
What’s important is the stability of the sect.
That was more important to them than anything else.
Yue Chan also noticed it.
Because she was the strongest outside of the Innate realm.
One could say that she had one foot into the Innate realm.
However, for many, taking that step could take a decade.
The advantage is that she will definitely break through to Innate.
It’s just that the timing is uncertain.
Perhaps she might break through the next day.
Though this probability was very small.
Others were a bit confused.
With their strength, they didn’t notice what had just happened.
They only knew that the three haughty elders suddenly looked grim.
And appeared as if facing a great enemy.
What was going on?
Could it be that they just realized Princess Consort Le and Lin Xi had Innate power?
If they just realized it, coming so urgently wouldn’t make sense!
Besides, three against two, plus being on their home ground, there’s nothing to fear.
If a fight broke out, there are Innate elders in the back mountain.
However, they won’t emerge unless it’s a life-and-death situation.
After all, there’s an agreement for three-person teams to take shifts, guarding the sect’s strength.
These three elders have been guarding for six years, with four more to go.
After four years, they will enter deep seclusion, and another three Innate elders will guard the sect.
Of course, this scenario was entirely beyond their ability to intervene.
They could only bury their doubts deep inside.
Lin Xi, facing Elder Mei’s inquiry, did not initially respond.
Instead, he smiled.
Because Elder Mei was able to wake up first and awaken the other two.
This he hadn’t expected.
In the United Kingdom, the Innate powerhouses were nearly finished by this trick.
In fact, the power displayed was quite similar.
So, Lin Xi’s eyes showed a hint of contemplation. This Innate powerhouse, Elder Mei, must specialize in this area.
It matched her name, "Mei," meaning charm.
Thus, it explained her ability to quickly escape the Illusion Realm.
"Who exactly are you?" Elder Mei asked once again.
If it were any other Innate, she might have already acted.
But that technique was too terrifying.
One careless moment and one could fall victim.
If it came to a fight, they would likely be in jeopardy.
She had some knowledge about other Secret Realms.
But she couldn’t think of anyone skilled in such techniques.
At the same time, this young man in front of her was incredibly young.
His backing must be exceedingly strong.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have broken through to Innate at such a young age.
So, she patiently asked again.
Otherwise, she would immediately initiate emergency measures to awaken the other elders.
By then, even with his strange technique, he’d fall here.
After all, their sect’s strength wasn’t just limited to what was before him.
"Me?" Lin Xi, understanding why she could quickly escape the Illusion Realm, responded, "I’m just someone who dislikes injustice."
"I can’t stand those who betray their masters and ancestors."
"That’s why I came to your sect to see."
"To see what kind of sect would allow such things to happen."
As soon as he finished speaking, a follower of Yue Ying behind the three elders shouted, "You’re lying!"
"Everyone knows that it was Yue Chan who killed the old Sect Leader!"
"Luckily, our new Sect Leader discovered it in time. Otherwise, someone as deceitful as you would have taken the Sect Leader position."
"At that point, the old Sect Leader would never rest in peace!"
"And now, you’re slandering the new Sect Leader. Everyone is well aware of your intentions!"
After she said this, she realized that no one had interrupted her.
This seemed odd somehow.
Moreover, the atmosphere seemed to have become a bit tense.
Everyone’s expressions seemed a bit off.
What did this mean?
She glanced around and noticed, besides her few sisters, all of whom were the Sect Leader’s confidants,
everyone else didn’t appear to have much confidence in her words.
Luckily, the expressions of the three elders in front did not show much change.
Elder Mei stopped Shadow and Elder Shuang, who were about to speak, and addressed Lin Xi, "So, this is a chivalrous young man!"
"However, this is an internal affair of our Leqing Sect, and it’s not convenient for outsiders to interfere!"
At the same time, she no longer asked for Lin Xi’s identity.
She believed the youth must be a core disciple from a major power within a Secret Realm.
It’s best not to offend such people.
Otherwise, their entire sect might face a formidable enemy.
Of course, they weren’t afraid.
If the young man insisted, they would summon the elders in deep seclusion to join forces against him.
As for Princess Consort Le and Yue Chan, they no longer regarded them as a threat.
Even though Princess Consort Le had achieved the Innate realm, to them, she had just broken through.
Her realm was still unsteady, so facing those who had breakthrough decades ago, who would win or lose was obvious.
"If you insist on intervening, don’t blame us for being impolite!"
"Whether you live or die then won’t be the fault of anyone but yourself."
After saying this, she immediately added, "You don’t have to rush to answer just yet."
"I have a few questions for them."
She glanced towards Princess Consort Le and Yue Chan.
First, she spoke to Princess Consort Le, "Elder Le Fei, you were the first to be elevated to elder status with the power of King of Soldiers."
"But your conduct didn’t align with our Leqing Sect’s ways, which led to later issues."
"Now, I’m giving you a chance."
"Your past transgressions will be forgiven if you return to our Leqing Sect."
Without waiting for Princess Consort Le’s reply, she turned to Yue Chan, "Little Yue Chan, you and I are quite familiar."
"But I never imagined you would do such a thing."
"No matter your intentions, even though the Sect Leader is dead, he didn’t blame you."
"However, we won’t forgive you."
"But in the Sect Leader’s honor, I’m giving you a chance to leave with your people, and after tonight, never set foot in this Secret Realm again. I can grant you this opportunity to leave today."
