The Supreme Dragon Emperor Chapter 78

Apart from Chiyan the Grand Master's martial guidance, based on the wonderland he just identified alone, Lin Xiao would not leave the Taixuan Sect.

Therefore, however glibly Shan Chengfeng tried to convince him, his mind would stay unperturbed.

Lin Xiao shook his head, with Shan's eyes glued at him with firm disbelief. "Esteemed Taoist, I hereby extend my gratitude to you for your generous offer, but I plan to stay here."

"What?!" Shan Chengfeng couldn't believe Lin's refusal. How could Lin have the heart to turn him down!

The unexpected blow rampantly disturbed Shan Chengfeng's energy and blood. He crimsoned and almost spat out blood.

"You can get whatever you crave in the Danling Sect, a lost martial method, numberless elixirs. What’s the good about the Taixuan Sect? On the one hand, it is on the brink of collapse since the Suomo Sect has been eyeing it with hostility; on the other hand, you have other

disciples plotting to doom you to death! You...!"

Shan Chengfeng was overwhelmed with fury and felt speechless.

Wu Gui, who had felt much relieved over Lin Xiao's survival from the disaster, hastened to kneel down after hearingShan's words.

He finally came to realize that Lin Xiao was of immeasurable value, and his martial master would not hesitate to sacrifice him to keep Lin Xiao.

Whatever he was afraid of really fell on him. Lin Xiao was the very disciple of Chiyan the Grand Master, and thus his martial uncle. Though Lin eventually survived the wonderland, it was him who guided Lin there. As the culprit, he couldn't get away with it. Li Taixuan had just intended to compensate Lin Xiao for his life-threatening adventure, but he had had to set it aside since he had been otherwise engaged. Now that Shan Chengfeng brought up the issue, Li Taixuan got around to attending to it again.

"Lin Xiao,

Xiao, don't worry. I will compensate you for whatever you suffered. Since Wu Gui made you fall into the wonderland regardless of the disciple bond between you two, I'll get him..."

Hardly had Li Taixuan finished when the startled Wu Gui started to beg for his life tearfully. His pleas sounded so miserable that even the Heaven was gonna shed tears.

"Patriarch, let's forget about it. Actually, it was I myself that stumbled and fell, and it had nothing to do with Brother Wu. To be honest with you, I even owe him one, as I remembered that he tried to catch hold of me when I fell."

Had it been in the past, the stern Lin Xiao wouldn't have let Wu Gui get away with it so easily, but he spotted Wu's attempt to pull him back.

Based on that move alone, Lin Xiao knew that Wu was not heartless. And he seemed to have been

have been punished already. Lin Xiao was somewhat grateful to Wu instead.

He was indeed rather grateful, as he couldn't imagine how long it would have taken him to make his way into the wonderland without Wu. And if he had not made his entrance now, there would not be another opportunity in the future, as the formation of the nine stone tablets could be an utter extermination for all warriors with the level of the Refining Divine Realm or above.

Thinking of the stone tablets, Lin Xiao could still feel a sense of lingering fear in his mind. Looking backward, the weird meadow and bulging mountain came into his sight and overwhelmed him with a wave of shiver. Even the terrain around the entrance to the wonderland changed completely after he came out. It seemed that he would have to work out a new approach to getting in there again.

But it was not a pressing not a pressing matter for Lin Xiao at the moment, for there would be plenty of opportunities later. He came back to his senses soon after the quick backward glance.

After Lin Xiao’s pleading for Wu Gui, Li Taixuan changed his plan of punishment, "Wu Gui, stand up. From now on, you should serve as a coolie at the scriptorium."

The scriptorium was a depository of wide-ranging martial classics in the Taixuan Sect. Generally speaking, Wu Gui was only allowed to stay for an hour there even though he was the direct disciple of the patriarch. Hence such a punishment turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

"Why are you still standing here? Get out!" Li Taixuan scolded him.

"Oh. Thank you, master. Thank you, Brother Lin. Thank you, all the elders and Taoist Shan." said Wu Gui with great gratitude. Though overjoyed, he didn’t forget to express his gratefulness, an indicator of the depletion of his aggressiveness.
