The Supreme Dragon Emperor Chapter 124

Wang Di gave up on standing up Wu Gui and followed suit of him. He flopped onto the floor and kneeled toward the possible whereabouts of Lin Xiao and started to kowtow to no end.

Of course, Lin Xiao was not able to see that. Right at the moment Lin Xiao was burning up the road on his way to the Main Mountain of the Taixuan Sect.

He stumbled onto quite a few disciples who were busy with their cultivation.

Apparently, having been engaged in hunting for medicinal materials for days, they realized that there was something eventful befalling them. And the annual martial contest was closing in on them as well. Winning awards in the contest would probably become a turning point of their fates.

However, as Lin Xiao approached the Main Mountain, he saw something different.

For instance, he was about to turn a corner when he heard some disciples discuss their patriarch.

"I learnt that the Patriarch was possessed by the Devil during his cultivation," on disciple said.

"Don't fall for the hearsay.  It must have been a routine cultivation session only," the other responded.

"Forget about it! The annual contest of our sect is around the corner.  If it has been in the past, he would have issued an inventory of awards and things alike. What about now?" the first one rebutted it.

"Er…" the other went speechless.

"Granted there was an explanation for the his delayed issue, he should have turned up, shouldn't he? You see, not only the Patriarch himself, but also the three chief seniors have been behaving in a weird manner. The three chief seniors haven been commuting between the Main Mountain and the Furnace Hall for days. There must be something wrong with the Patriarch, and I assure you it must be rather serious," the first one added.

"Ah! Then what are the to-dos? You know my dad worked so hard just to provide me with my tuition fees," the other one asked in an anxious tone.

"What do you say we leave here?" the first one raised a proposal.

"Leaving here? Where can we go?" the other one asked.

"Let's get transferred to the Suomo Sect. As everyone knows, the Suomo Sect has been thriving at an incredible pace, plus underworld wonderlands. Isn't it far better than the Taixuan Sect?" the first one went on persuading the other.

"What? That's no different from a betrayal!" the other one yelled in an upright tone.

"Hush up. Betrayal? Stop adhering to the outworn rules and ideas. We have only been here for days with nothing grasped from here. Strictly speaking, we're not official disciples of the Taixuan Sect. And you know it's long been on the down slope. I can't sit and perish along with it," the first one insisted.

"Let me think about it first," the other said, hesitantly.

"What's the wait? Bet you will end up dead if you dwell on contemplation. I learnt that there have been quite a few disciples of the Suomo Sect hanging about outside our sect — that might signal a forthcoming war between the Suomo and the Taixuan Sect! Being a late starter, you will be hacked to death once it breaks out. Do you have the heart to let your parents, two seniors, bury you with their own hands?" the first one said.

"Of course not! Okay, I'm in. But how can we leave here?" the other one asked.

"We're new comers, so we won't be noticed. Just cut and run. There has been a brain drain going on for days now, some of whom had stayed here over a year," the first one said.

"Wow…Then I'm relieved. Let's hit the road now," the other said.

Then the whole area went silent forthwith.

Lin Xiao stayed where he was, blanked-faced.

However, there were fierce undercurrents of murderous intentions flowing in his eyes.
