The Ninth Rebirth Demon King

Inside the Blue Spirit Shop on the Returning Peak, a thin old man sat on a chair. He had a head full of white hair and looked somewhat sickly. However, his eyes were filled with determination and confidence. This old man was the hall master of the functional hall. He had come to tell Sect Master Xue Bu that Li Wan had very straightforwardly refused to stay in the Qi Cang Sect.

Xue Bu was dressed in a gold robe, although he looked to be an old man, he emitted a sense of elegance, especially his square face, which always had an intimidating aura that made people not dare to look at him directly.

He was very surprised with Li Wan's reaction. He did not understand how a twenty year old woman would have the guts to reject his good intentions.

He said silently: "Feng Ting might be someone from the Chi Mansion, then would this Li Wan also be someone from the Chi Mansion?"

After he heard it, he immediately shook his head and said, "If Li Wan was also a member of the Chi Mansion, why would she suffer so much from Xue Xiao?

Hearing this, Xue Bu said calmly: "Senior Brother, it is very likely that something has happened to Junior Brother Xue Xiao, so please don't blame him anymore."

"Of course I don't want to blame him, but treating the four of them like this, he is indeed unworthy of being my Qi Cang Sect's disciple." Although Ping Jian's tone was calm, it was clear that he was angry.

Xue Bu looked at his own senior brother, and laughed: "Senior Brother, if I had let you search for the treasures of the four prodigies, what would you have done?"

"I simply won't go and search for the treasures of the Grand Dominance's Four Great Heroes." He said.

"The reason why the four prodigies of Grand Dominance City are so feared by the Chi Mansion is definitely because they cultivate a mysterious cultivation technique, and this cultivation technique might very well be hidden within the treasures. Do you think we won't care about it?" Xue Bu asked.

Ping Jian frowned and said, "Sect leader, even though I think that there might be a mysterious cultivation method inside the treasure, I still feel that we shouldn't be greedy for other people's things."

"The four prodigies of Grand Dominance are already dead, so the treasure trove is a ownerless treasure trove. We don't have anything that is greedy for others." Xue Bu explained.

Hearing this, Pingjian was silent for a moment before he shook his head and said, "Sect Master, I can't win against you. But, I am very sure that Xue Xiao torturing our four out of the house like that would be disgraceful to us. "Even if something really did happen to him, it would still be …"

He originally wanted to say that he deserved it for his crimes, but after thinking about how Xue Xiao was not only the sect master's junior brother, but also the sect master's cousin, he swallowed his fiercest words.

Xue Bu looked at the parchment, his imposing gaze revealed a sense of helplessness, and said: "Senior Brother, let's not talk about Xue Xiao, let's talk about Li Wan instead."

He then pulled the question back and said with determination: "Junior brother, Li Wan is a rare genius, compared to Gu Yinglong, she is better than nothing, we must keep her in the Qi Cang Sect."

"I believe in Senior Brother's judgement. This Li Wan must definitely be a genius." Xue Bu said.

"I think that Li Wan is ten times more precious than the treasures of the four prodigies of Grand Dominance."

Xue Bu said helplessly: "Senior Brother, didn't I already say that I would not mention about the treasure anymore?"

"Fine, we won't talk about the treasures, we'll talk about Li Wan." Ping Jian immediately took back his words.

"If Li Wan doesn't agree to stay in the Qi Cang Sect, then we'll force her to stay." Xue Bu said.

Ping Jane immediately objected: "Sect Master, we want to keep him here because we value his talent. If I were to forcefully keep him here, wouldn't that be equivalent to imprisoning him? "

Xue Bu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Grand Cloud Conference isn't over, we still have time to think of a way, let me think."

"Alright, Sect Master, think carefully about it. I will also go back and think carefully about it, and see how I can make Li Wan stay." He said.

"Yes."

"Sovereign, I will take my leave first."

He rose and bowed. Although he was a senior brother and could speak casually, he couldn't lose etiquette.

When he left the great hall, Xue Bu's face revealed a trace of coldness. The hand that was holding onto the throne gently slammed onto it, hitting the armrest of the throne. Although he did not use the Spiritual Strength, it still caused the golden robe on his body to tremble.

After pondering for a moment, he said to the outside, "Call He Jinpeng here."

"Yes."

The gatekeeping disciple immediately agreed and went to get some people.

Not long after, He Jinpeng walked in and bowed.

Without waiting for He Jinpeng to straighten his back, Xue Bu immediately asked: "Do you know that Li Wan?"

"Li Wan is Feng Ting's follower, but her realm is very high, she has already reached the dangling lake's Primary Grade. Today, she was so reckless that she even wanted to rush into the array formation competition. " He Jinpeng replied.

"Is she really that strong?"

"Yes, very strong."

"What about compared to Ying Long?"

"If Ying Long didn't break through today, he probably wouldn't be her match. But today, since Ying Long had broken through to the next realm, she is absolutely not his match. "

"Both of them are dangling lake's Primary Grade, why do you think that Li Wan is not a match for Ying Long?" Xue Bu coldly asked.

He Jinpeng immediately answered: "When I obstructed her today, I realized that even though her realm was the dangling lake's Primary Grade, it was clear that her foundation was not firm."

"Is your foundation not solid? can even enter the dangling lake Realm at the age of twenty? " Xue Bu's tone was filled with anger.

When He Jinpeng heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Logically speaking, your foundation isn't strong, but it's impossible for you to step into the dangling lake Realm at such an age. But I can sense that she really doesn't have a solid foundation. "

"Do you have any injuries?" Xue Bu thought about how Xue Xiao had injured Li Wan.

"I feel that her meridians and internal organs are very normal, they don't look like they are injured." He Jinpeng replied.

Hearing that, Xue Bu paused for a bit, and asked: "Do you think she is a genius?"

"A twenty year old dangling lake Primary Grade is naturally a peerless genius." He Jinpeng immediately replied.

"Since you knew he was a genius, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Upon hearing this, He Jinpeng's heart trembled in fear, and he quickly replied: "Sect Leader, I didn't know about Li Wan's existence before."

"You don't know about Li Wan's existence, you at least know what she did when she went to the Duan Zhou City, right?" Xue Bu's tone already carried anger.

He Jinpeng's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Sect Master, Martial Uncle Xue Xiao has never liked others participating in his work. I really don't know what he did in Duan Zhou City."

Xue Bu looked at He Jinpeng and continued to speak, "Other than Ying Long, is there anyone else who has business with Xue Xiao in the Duan Zhou City?"

He Jinpeng hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Sect Master, other than the position of Ying Long, everyone else should have followed Martial Uncle Xue to the Desolate Demon Region. Even now, I still haven't come back. "

Xue Bu's face darkened, and said coldly: "They will not return."

Of course, He Jinpeng knew that he wouldn't be able to come back, but he was a little speechless.

Xue Bu looked at He Jinpeng, lowered his head for a while, and then said: "Tomorrow, after Grand Cloud Conference is done, bring Li Wan to see me."

"Yes, Sovereign." He Jinpeng immediately agreed.

"Other than that, didn't the few people from Heavenly Book City want to observe it closely? Tomorrow we'll let them watch us play chess at close range. "

"Yes." He Jinpeng understood in his heart that the Sect Master wanted to let the few great figures in the Heavenly Book City see the power of the Qi Cang Sect's disciples with their own eyes.

"Also, after Grand Cloud Conference's end tomorrow, I don't want to see another perfectly fine Feng Ting. After he's injured, he'll stay behind. "

"Yes."

"Alright, you may leave."

"Yes, Sovereign."

He Jinpeng bowed, then left.

In the great hall, only Xue Bu was left. He leaned back and slowly closed his eyes.

He had been a Sect Leader of the Qi Cang Sect for almost a hundred years, and in these hundred years, it just so happened that the Chi Mansion had grown crazily for a hundred years. It was all because of that man. If there was no one else, Chi Mansion would be the same as the Heavenly Book City. Just like the Heavenly Book City's City Master, Yang Xuan, the Palace Chief of the Chi Mansion was only a person who would wave his hand whenever he wanted.

A few years ago, he found out that Chi Mansion had obtained a Level eight demon bird. Continuing to check, only then did he find out that the inner pill came from the Four Great Heroes of the Grand Dominance. On further investigation, he discovered that the Four Heroes of Grand Dominance had hidden many treasures.

This made him think of the rumor about the four prodigies of Grand Dominance City cultivating a mysterious cultivation technique. He continued to investigate and sure enough, he found out that the cultivation technique was most likely hidden in the treasures of the four prodigies.

He told Xue Xiao to look for the treasure, and he also knew that Xue Xiao had found the followers of the Grand Dominance's four prodigies, which was also Li Zhencha. But what he didn't expect was that even though Xue Xiao knew Li Wan's talent was extraordinary, he still acted on his own and injured Li Wan.

He felt that Xue Xiao ignoring the big picture was very likely to have something to do with Gu Yinglong. Because even though Gu Yinglong was a genius, he was also extremely arrogant. In his eyes, there was no other young talent that could compare to him.

Did I spoil him too much?

Xue Bu closed his eyes and silently asked himself.

However, Gu Yinglong was indeed a rare cultivation genius, if he continued to develop like this, it was truly possible for him to become a peerless expert. If he could contend against the person from Chi Mansion, then Qi Cang Sect would once again appear in the sky above East of the Sea Area.

Xue Bu could understand the reason for Li Wan's rejection, but he could not accept the result. He did not wish for anyone to reject Qi Cang Sect, neither could Li Wan.

Once tomorrow passed, Feng Ting would definitely be crippled. Qi Cang Sect left him behind for treatment. No one can refuse his good intentions. As Feng Ting's follower, Li Wan naturally had to stay behind as well.

It didn't matter if Feng Ting and Li Wan were members of the Chi Mansion, or if their hearts were filled with hatred or fear for the Qi Cang Sect, they would never be able to escape the control of the Qi Cang Sect.

Anyone that the Qi Cang Sect wished to leave behind must stay in the Qi Cang Sect. If anyone dared to disobey, they would die.

Moreover, he had another matter in his heart, and that was the treasures of the four prodigies of Grand Dominance. Although the news was sent back, it was very likely that the had already taken the treasure. However, he was still unwilling to believe this truth. He felt that the treasure would not just fall into the hands of the Chi Mansion just like that.

Li Zhencha was one of the followers of the four prodigies of Grand Dominance. If one searched for treasure from his body, they might be able to find it again. Thinking about it this way, Feng Ting bringing Li Zhencha and Li Wan over did indeed help Qi Cang Sect to do a huge favor.

Xue Bu closed his eyes as the corners of his mouth revealed a cold smile.
