After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 227 Great Elder

Hearing this, the little girl in pink in the darkness was stunned, her mouth wide open, big enough to fit a whole egg.

However, the old man in hemp clothing clearly wasn't finished speaking, and continued:
"Moreover, according to what that person just said, he personally witnessed the First Madam of Hundred Refinement Peak and the two elders of the Law Enforcement Hall being killed by that Young Master Li with a single finger. These people were no match for him at all!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl in pink stiffly turned her head, but then suddenly came to her senses, swallowed hard, and said:

"Is it possible that everything that person just said was a lie?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing shook his head and said:

“I have confirmed this repeatedly and even threatened the other party’s life. It is clear that the other party is not lying, and he has no reason to risk his life to lie to me.”

The little girl in pink opened her mouth, but then fell silent, clearly still processing what her grandfather had said.

All of this was so unbelievable that she couldn't accept it for a while.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing suddenly changed his expression, then turned to look at his little granddaughter and suddenly asked:
"Xun'er, can you guess what those nine people who left the city were going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun'er belatedly turned her head and looked at the old man in hemp clothing. Her dark eyes flickered slightly, as if she was pondering his question.

But soon, she shook her head.

Clearly, her mind was filled with the news that Li Musheng had killed the First Madam of Hundred Refinement Peak and others with a single finger.

At this moment, she found it hard to connect that despicable guy with a martial arts master with such terrifying strength.

As for the old man in hemp clothing's questions, he naturally seemed somewhat absent-minded and didn't have much time to think about them.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing suddenly turned his head and looked towards Hundred Refinement City in the night.

At this moment, his aged face was dark and inscrutable as he slowly spoke:

"Those nine people were actually sent by that Young Master Li, and his purpose... you might not believe it, but he actually sent a message to the nine peaks of Falling God Peak, asking the peak leaders and sect experts of Falling God Peak to come to Hundred Refinement City to personally seek revenge on him..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun'er, who was initially incredulous at Li Musheng's intervention, was suddenly struck dumb, her small body freezing in place.

After a long while, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Is he insane? How dare he? Provoking the entire Fallen God Peak all by himself?"

The old man in hemp clothing didn't speak, but simply shook his head and said:

"I don't know what he was thinking, but the fact is, he did it."

"I can't understand it, just like I can't understand why he, who is obviously too young, has such great strength. It's just not normal."

The old man in hemp clothing was unable to express his emotions at this moment. He was completely shocked. He had never encountered anything so unbelievable in his life.

For a moment, the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er fell silent. Apart from the occasional chirping of insects, the dark forest was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, Lin Xun'er finally looked up at the old man in hemp clothing and asked blankly:
"Then what do we do next?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing remained silent, his expression shifting uncertainly. At this moment, Lin Xun'er scratched her head hard with her small hands, let out a heavy sigh, and said:

"I never expected that guy to be so powerful. I'd rather believe that what those people from Hundred Refinement Peak said was all a lie."

As she spoke, she glanced at the old man in hemp clothing, then forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and changed the subject:

"That guy's martial arts strength is so great, and he's clearly going up against Luo Shenfeng. This might be an opportunity for us."

"However, before that, we must do one thing: we must personally confirm that all of this is true."

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing showed a slight change in expression, and finally slowly spoke:

“You’re right. Although his actions were extremely reckless and arrogant, almost tantamount to courting death, I just thought about it and realized that perhaps he did it on purpose.”

"This may actually be a scheme by the Dali court to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attract the attention of Luoshen Peak, while there is another plan in secret."

Lin Xun'er nodded gently and said:
"This is actually what I was worried about. The power and foundation of Fallen God Peak are too great. Anyone with a little sense would not be so arrogant as to take on the entire sect alone in Hundred Refinement City."

"Moreover, unless I see it with my own eyes, it's hard to believe that guy has such powerful martial arts skills. Similarly, only by confirming all of this can we determine what to do next."

The old man in hemp clothing nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the still-lit Hundred Refinements City in the darkness ahead, and said softly:
"It seems we really do have to go back into the city."

Then, he turned to look at Lin Xun'er beside him and suddenly solemnly instructed her:
"If he finds us later, remember not to treat him like we did before. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be killed by him with a single finger before we can avenge our great grudge."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun'er reached out and rubbed her temples, whispering softly:
"He's really despicable, but if his martial arts skills are truly that impressive, then of course I can only forgive him."

The old man in hemp clothing nodded slightly, and then prepared to secretly lead Lin Xun'er into Hundred Refinement City.

But just then, his ears twitched, and he quickly grabbed Lin Xun'er and leaped into the woods, immediately concealing himself.
"somebody is coming!"

Soon, an old man in black robes, riding a white horse, galloped from the direction of Hundred Refinement Peak.

As the old man in black rode his horse past the hill, he glanced around intentionally, but he didn't stop at all. Instead, he headed straight for Hundred Refinement City.

It wasn't until the old man in black robes entered Hundred Refinements City that the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er emerged from the forest.

The old man in hemp clothing gazed in the direction of Hundred Refinement City, his brows furrowed, his expression grave.
"This person's aura is so terrifying, he must be the Grand Elder of Hundred Refinement Peak. It is said that his martial arts cultivation is second only to Zheng Yunfeng. I didn't expect him to come to Hundred Refinement City as well."

Lin Xun'er's face was somewhat unpleasant. When that elder passed by just now, he did not conceal his aura. The martial arts pressure and killing intent he displayed made it difficult for her to breathe.

The opponent's martial arts strength is far superior to that of the First Madam and the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of Hundred Refinements Peak.

"This person must have come because of Zheng Zi's death. He probably learned about the deaths of Zheng Shangzong and the First Madam of Bailian Peak on the way, and he's probably rushing to kill that guy now."

Lin Xun'er guessed, and soon it seemed that her words were being confirmed.

In the distance, from the Hundred Refinements City, an extremely terrifying martial killing intent suddenly soared into the sky.
