Chapter 545

"Report! Report!!"

On Jingting Mountain, a man with lightning wrapped around his feet was charging recklessly.

At this early morning hour, the high-level officials of Jingting Mountain were holding a meeting; hearing the noisy sound, the hall immediately quieted down.

"Who is it?"

"Stop!" The guards outside the hall shouted sternly, raising their long halberds one after another.

"Me! Brother! I'm a member of the Tiger Beard Hall!" The man finally stopped, and his extremely disheveled appearance left the two guards dumbfounded.

The man felt bitter in his heart, ashamed and unable to show his face.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, he had passed through one checkpoint after another and had been questioned by countless guards.

Every time, people saw his tattered clothes and wounds, and they would show expressions of disbelief.

As a disciple of the dignified second-tier god, Dongting, how could he be reduced to such a state?

Not to mention how strong your combat power is, just talking about your speed, that is first-rate in the world!

If you want to retreat, even if the opponent is a Sea Realm expert, they wouldn't be able to catch the hem of your clothes!

How could this be?

"I have an urgent matter to report to the Lu Zongzhu! Please help me report it!" The man requested urgently, his arm having a deep wound that could reach the bone, still bleeding outward.

"Come in!" A voice came from inside the room, full of momentum.

The guards immediately let him pass, and the disheveled man lowered his head and walked quickly into the hall.

The hall was carved with beams and painted rafters, looking very gorgeous from the outside to the inside; in this resource-poor Holy Lingshan, being able to build such a grand building could be considered a skill.

Deep in the hall, there was a huge dragon chair, carved with extraordinary beauty.

The person sitting on it was about forty-five, with a dignified appearance and a majestic figure.

He wore a purple robe and looked at the visitor expressionlessly, imposing without being angry.

"Lu Zongzhu Lu!" The disheveled man came to the center of the hall, trembling, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Speak." Lu Xiao said lightly.

"Lu Zongzhu Lu, the Tiger Beard Hall was attacked! We were ambushed near Misty Rain Lake, and He Tangzhu Tiger Beard... He Tangzhu he..."

There were many people in the hall, and someone couldn't help but urge: "Don't dawdle, speak quickly!"

"Ah!" The disheveled man was startled and closed his eyes fiercely: "He Tangzhu Tiger Beard was killed in battle!"

"Ah?"

"What did you say?" Shouts of shock erupted in the hall.

Jingting Mountain has ten halls in total, and each hall has a Sea Realm expert sitting in it.

He Tangzhu Tiger Beard was one of the best among them, with superb martial arts, bravery, and decisiveness; he could be ranked in Jingting Mountain!

However, the Tiger Beard Hall only set off yesterday, and this morning, the He Tangzhu was killed in battle?

"Yes, yes!" The disheveled man said with a mournful face and a trembling voice: "The entire Tiger Beard Hall was wiped out, everyone was killed in battle..."

"Ah?!"

"That group of cowards from the Thousand Boat Alliance has grown some skills, huh?"

"Damn it!" The hall was noisy, and the crowd was indignant.

Of course, there were also questioning voices.

"Impossible! How could Brother Tiger Beard be killed by that group of scum from the Thousand Boat Alliance? Tell me the truth!" A rough man stepped forward, as if he wanted to crush the disheveled man.

"The opponent shouldn't be from the Thousand Boat Alliance!" The disheveled man shouted hurriedly.

"Tiger Face!" A hoarse voice came, forcing the rough man to stop his steps.

To the left and right of the dragon chair, there was a chair each, but the specifications were smaller, though they were also beautifully carved.

On the left chair sat a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman.

She also wore a purple robe, sat in a dignified posture, and watched everything happening in the hall with cold eyes.

On the right chair sat a tall and thin old man, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old.

It was this white-haired old man who spoke to stop him.

"Hmph!" The rough man called Tiger Face snorted bitterly, glaring fiercely at the Tiger Beard Hall member kneeling on the ground.

"Who." A light voice came from above the dragon chair.

The chaotic hall instantly quieted down.

Lu Xiao remained expressionless, looking at the shivering Tiger Beard Hall member.

The disheveled man had already been scared out of his wits.

As a River Estuary Realm person, facing the pressure of a Sea Realm expert, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

At this moment, in the hall, so many Sea Realm experts were glaring at him; how could a River Estuary Realm person survive?

"I, I don't... don't know."

The disheveled man stammered and finally finished a sentence.

Such words brought more anger.

"Ah!" The man erupted with a strong desire to survive and said with a trembling voice: "There are Western Wilderness... Western Wilderness believers! There is a sandstorm!"

Hearing the four words "Western Wilderness believer," everyone in the hall was a little surprised.

Jingting Mountain has been entrenched here for at least thirteen years, and they have almost never seen Western Wilderness believers.

"The enemy also... also..." The disheveled man suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "At that time, our He Tangzhu was resting in the lake; the enemy didn't know how they sneaked in and suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.

The opponent ambushed us and blasted our He Tangzhu into the sky!

Then sand and dust floated up, and we couldn't see anything..."

The disheveled man swallowed his saliva and described it with horror: "No one knows how the enemy appeared at the bottom of the lake; it might be an invisibility technique or a teleportation technique..."

"Teleportation." Deep in the hall, the dignified woman sitting on the left of the dragon chair turned to look at Lu Xiao.

Two short words were enough for Lu Xiao to understand what his Great Lady meant.

The Gun-Decay faction?

That shouldn't be right; it's also extremely difficult to see Gun-Decay disciples in the southeastern region of the Holy Lingshan continent.

However, the crowd had another answer option—Vicious Dog believers!

A long time ago, the leader of the Heaven-Treading Mountain stronghold, Luo Tiantu, had come to ask for help and informed Jingting Mountain that a Vicious Dog believer who had fallen into the demonic path had appeared in this area.

Later, the Heaven-Treading Mountain stronghold was destroyed completely.

The entire mountain top was burned to the ground!

It's really hard to imagine that under the protection of Jingting Mountain, the Heaven-Treading Mountain stronghold was still slaughtered and burned clean...

Who would do such a thing?

Either the opponent's force had a blood feud with Heaven-Treading Mountain and had already killed until their eyes were red, and no one could stop them.

Or the opponent was extremely strong and didn't take Jingting Mountain seriously at all!

Or perhaps...

Both!

"Mm." Lu Xiao leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his ten fingers crossed into a fist, pressing against his chin.

Was the person who wiped out Heaven-Treading Mountain and the person who slaughtered the Tiger Beard Hall really that Vicious Dog believer?

There are few people who don't take Jingting Mountain seriously.

There are even fewer people who possess teleportation techniques!

"Also, also! The opponent also has Jade Talisman believers! When the sandstorm rolled up, the entire ground turned into a sand river! There were sand whips lashing around, and I was lashed on the ankle..."

The disheveled man had lingering fears; being able to save his life was entirely due to luck!

"Ah?"

"Quicksand Talisman?"

As soon as the disheveled man finished speaking, the hall exploded!

Because the people of Jingting Mountain had already obtained a piece of information: at the temporary stronghold of the Lingfeng Hall, the terrain had also turned into a solidified river shape.

Fang Lingfeng and her Lingfeng Hall had been missing for nearly half a month!

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

In other words, were the Lingfeng Hall and the Tiger Beard Hall killed by the same group of people?

"F*ck them!!" He Tangzhu Tiger Face cursed, facing the depths of the hall, and said loudly: "Lu Zongzhu Lu, this is the same group of people targeting our Jingting Mountain!

This group of dog bastards is tired of living!!"

"Silence!" To the right of the dragon chair, the tall and thin old man shouted sternly.

He Tangzhu Tiger Face was reprimanded again, and he was furious, looking at the old man: "Elder Wang! The opponent has already bullied us!"

"Indeed!"

"That group of ungrateful bastards is likely the reinforcements invited by that group of cowards from the Thousand Boat Alliance!"

"Right! He Tangzhu Lingfeng and He Tangzhu Tiger Beard were both killed while investigating the Thousand Boat Alliance."

The people in the hall were talking at once, burning with anger.

It has always been Jingting Mountain's turn to trample on others; when have they ever been bullied like this?

Each Sea Realm Dongting believer is even more arrogant and domineering; how could they swallow this breath?

Suddenly, the hall became quiet.

Because above the dragon chair, Lu Zongzhu Lu slowly stood up.

Lu Xiao was over two meters tall, and his exceptionally burly figure brought even greater pressure to people.

Lu Xiao walked down the steps step by step, walking toward the man kneeling on the ground.

The overwhelming pressure approached with the Lu Zongzhu's footsteps, and the disheveled man shivered, his body almost shrinking into a ball.

"Western Wilderness believer, Jade Talisman believer, and a believer who comes and goes without a trace; this is the information you brought back."

Lu Xiao said lightly, lowering his head, looking at the man curled up and shivering at his feet.

"I... I also heard an explosion! Right, there seemed to be a roar... ah!" The man screamed.

Lu Xiao leaned down, his big hand grabbing the disheveled man's head.

Immediately, Lu Xiao slowly straightened up.

The disheveled man he was holding was like a pile of mud, his legs soft, hanging on the ground.

"No, Lu Zongzhu Lu! I provided... information, I ran back to report..."

"Crack!"

The sound of water-flow armor breaking rang out abruptly.

As the armor broke, the man's head was also crushed inch by inch in Lu Xiao's palm.

"Ah! Ahhh..." The shrill screams did not last long.

The disheveled man's arms, struggling randomly, hung down powerlessly.

His skull shattered, and he died on the spot.

The Dongting faction can summon lightning and activate the body, increasing physical attributes in all directions.

But the problem is, Lu Xiao did not use this divine technique.

Even if Lu Xiao is a Sea Realm Fifth Stage, it is impossible to crush the River Grade Water-Flow Armor with brute force.

But he was wearing a jade ring on his finger.

The ring was blood-red, emitting a deep red luster, and even more filled with a bloodthirsty aura, giving Lu Xiao violent power!

"Hoo..." Lu Xiao closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

The blood jade ring vibrated gently, continuously absorbing the blood stained on the owner's hand to nourish itself.

The people in the hall were silent as cicadas in winter.

Although Lu Zongzhu Lu was expressionless, everyone could feel the Lu Zongzhu's anger!

After a long time, Elder Wang deep in the hall stood up and said:

"Lu Zongzhu! Now that the Thousand Boat Alliance has added a group of lackeys, our side needs to re-formulate..."

"No need." Lu Xiao interrupted Elder Wang's words.

He opened his eyes and looked at the person who died miserably at his feet.

No one dared to speak again, only seeing Lu Xiao lift his foot and step on the head that was already half-crushed.

"Crack! Crack..."

Lu Xiao was expressionless, crushing it inch by inch, and said lightly:

"Today, we march on the Thousand Boat Alliance."
