Chapter 81

Great Elder Xu Rui arrived, treading upon the void!

And behind him,

the other two Elders of the Inner Sect appeared as well!

Seeing this,

Zou Yuan's originally tense mood relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You informed Old Man Xu?"

"Otherwise, they would have no reinforcements, right?"

Pang Lei smiled faintly, his brow relaxing.

And the many disciples of the Daotaixuan Sect cheered and jumped, their hanging hearts settling!

At this moment,

both sides faced off against each other once more!

Within the Tianji Sect,

Gu Haiqing looked at the appearing Xu Rui, his face ugly!

"Why has this old fellow come!?"

He gritted his teeth, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes!

The opponent's strength was above his!

And several decades ago, when he was not yet the Great Elder of the Tianji Sect, he had fought him before, ending in defeat!

Before he could think much more,

Xu Rui looked at Lin Bai with an appreciative gaze, then turned to Gu Haiqing and said, "This spiritual vein, in my view, belongs to the Daotaixuan Sect!"

"Otherwise, the Daotaixuan Sect will launch a full-scale war against the Tianji Sect!"

He said no more, his words filled with arrogance!

Hearing these words,

Luo Chen and Hong Tuo, Inner Sect Elders of the Tianji Sect, changed expressions and looked at Gu Haiqing before them.

"Great Elder, what should we do!?"

"Once a full-scale war breaks out, it will be extremely unfavorable for the Tianji Sect..."

They had not expected the Daotaixuan Sect to care so much about this spiritual vein, even to the point of risking a full-scale war!

However, they did not know

the Daotaixuan Sect's current predicament, so regarding this spiritual vein, they were determined to secure it!

Upon hearing this,

Gu Haiqing stared fixedly at Xu Rui, understanding that the current situation was unfavorable for the Tianji Sect.

"It seems the Tianji Sect cannot compete for this spiritual vein."

He took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy voice.

To compete with the Daotaixuan Sect for this spiritual vein, hope was slim!

Plus, the Tianji Sect suffered heavy deaths and injuries, and the cost paid far exceeded expectations!

Continuing to fight like this,

the Tianji Sect will inevitably attract the covetousness of other Sects!

Luo Chen frowned and said, "If we stop competing, then our losses this time..."

"I am saying we stop competing, but... that boy named Lin Bai must pay the price for this struggle over the spiritual vein, and be crushed in the cradle!"

Gu Haiqing revealed a cold sneer; this was the goal he was willing to achieve even by no longer continuing to compete for the spiritual vein!

Upon hearing these words,

the crowd of the Tianji Sect's eyes lit up!

Given the current situation,

exchanging a spiritual vein for a sword-path genius of the Daotaixuan Sect to be crippled, it seemed not impossible!

Otherwise, if the Daotaixuan Sect's Lin Bai grows up, he will inevitably become a huge threat!

After discussing,

Gu Haiqing revealed a smile on his face, his gaze turning to the Great Elder of the Daotaixuan Sect, Xu Rui.

"The Tianji Sect can choose not to compete for this spiritual vein; if you want it, we will give it to you!"

"However, during this struggle over the spiritual vein, my Tianji Sect disciples suffered heavy deaths and injuries, and over two hundred disciples died at Lin Bai's hands!"

"We can hand over the spiritual vein with open hands, but..."

He spoke up to this point, pointing at Lin Bai and said, "This youth caused the Tianji Sect heavy losses; cripple his cultivation base, and this matter will be settled!"

"Otherwise, a full-scale war will break out, and the Tianji Sect fears not the Daotaixuan Sect!"

After finishing, he said no more!

It was precisely these words

that made the crowd of the Daotaixuan Sect, who were originally happy about the Tianji Sect showing weakness, stunned.

Especially Lin Bai, whose face changed instantly!

"Cripple me???"

His heart trembled, and he went numb!

This damn old villain indeed had no good intentions!

But...

The Elder of the Xuan Sect wouldn't agree to the other's demand just for a single spirit vein, would they?

Just as Lin Bai was feeling uneasy,

Xu Rui, the Grand Elder behind him, narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You think I would agree to your condition?"

"Go back and tell your Sect Master—if you want war, the Xuan Sect will take it on!"

He responded domineeringly, killing intent surging in his eyes!

Cripple Lin Bai?

What a joke!

This kid had previously comprehended the Unity of Man and Sword, single-handedly annihilating over two hundred of the opponent's disciples—he had already learned of this when he received the reinforcement news.

Coupled with the earlier matter of drawing upon Heavenly Dao to alter his own aptitude, he increasingly believed this boy possessed the supreme potential to transform the Xuan Sect!

Even if they offered ten spirit veins in exchange, he still wouldn't agree!

Hearing this, Lin Bai's suspended heart settled down.

"Phew…"

He breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to worry about being crippled.

And at this moment,

Gu Haiqing stared fixedly at Xu Rui, then began to laugh.

"Good, good, good, good…"

He deliberately put on a look of regret, shook his head, and seemed about to leave.

Just as he turned, he cast a gaze filled with killing intent toward Luo Chen beside him!

Suddenly,

"Kill!"

Gu Haiqing's voice transmission rang out in Luo Chen's mind.

Assassinate Lin Bai!

After receiving the order, his eyes grew cold and sinister!

At this moment,

His cultivation base at the Third Stage of Four Palaces quietly circulated, and in the next instant he shot toward Lin Bai like a bolt of lightning!

Such speed, such overwhelming momentum,

caused everyone's expression to drastically change, leaving them no time to react!

Because at this moment,
