Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Several days later, at the headquarters of the Sky Eagle Sect, inside the study.

Yin Tian, ​​the White-browed Eagle King, sat upright at his desk, holding a military book in his hands, studying it intently, exuding a calm and dignified aura.

In the past two years, he has established his own sect, the Eagle Sect, and worked diligently to manage it. He has managed the Eagle Sect in an orderly manner and has long lost the impetuousness he had when he was in the Ming Cult. He has become more composed and farsighted as a sect leader.

Suddenly, a graceful figure landed silently in the courtyard outside the study, like a falling leaf. The figure was tall and straight, and even with one arm missing, it still exuded its former elegance.

Yin Tianzheng looked up, his gaze sharpening. He put down the military treatise in his hand, his tone tinged with surprise: "Yang Xiao?"

He truly hadn't expected Yang Xiao to come to the Eagle Sect.

When he left the Ming Cult, he had a falling out with Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and others, and the rift between them was very deep. Over the years, the two have never crossed paths.

Yang Xiao's sudden visit surprised him quite a bit.

Yin Tianzheng's gaze slowly moved down and finally landed on Yang Xiao's right arm.

The sleeves there were empty, fluttering slightly in the wind, clearly indicating the absence of hands.

He frowned slightly, his tone tinged with inquiry and regret: "Is it really as the rumors say, that your hand has been crippled?"

Yang Xiao glanced down at his empty sleeve, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. He then nodded frankly, his tone calm but tinged with humiliation: "Yes, that's right. I was killed by the old nun Miejue, and my Finger Flicking Divine Skill was mostly destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Yin Tianzheng fell silent.

Although he had a rift with Yang Xiao, he admired the latter's talent and martial arts skills. Seeing him end up like this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Yang Xiao did not want to dwell on his injuries. He had come with a heavy responsibility and did not beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and looked solemnly at Yin Tianzheng: "Eagle King, I have come to invite you to return to the Ming Cult and serve as its leader."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yin Tianzheng's eyes, then he asked, "And what about you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao gave a bitter smile and spread his remaining left hand: "In my current state, crippled and with my martial arts greatly diminished, do I still have a chance to become the leader? The Ming Cult is currently leaderless, and only you have the ability to stabilize the situation and reorganize the Ming Cult."

Yin Tianzheng nodded slowly, already agreeing in his heart.

Yang Xiao's words were true. Yang Xiao was seriously injured and his prestige had greatly diminished, making it difficult for him to command respect. Among the Ming Cult, only he had enough prestige and strength to support the overall situation.

He then changed the subject and asked, "In that case, why don't you look for Wei Yixiao? The two of you have always had a good relationship, and he has enough prestige to temporarily put him in charge of the Ming Cult."

Upon hearing Wei Yixiao's name, Yang Xiao's expression instantly darkened, his tone filled with guilt and sorrow: "He's dead. He was killed by Su Xin."

"What? Su Xin?" Yin Tianzheng's tone suddenly rose, and he stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He'd been hearing that name a lot lately.

Isn't he Ali's cousin?

How could that unknown boy, who started his cultivation from scratch two years ago, actually kill Wei Yixiao?

Wei Yixiao's lightness skill is unparalleled, and his Frosty Palm is extremely vicious. Even among the four great Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult, his strength is firmly in the top tier. Su Xin has only been cultivating for two years, how could he possibly kill him?

Yang Xiao noticed his confusion and slowly explained, "It seems that he used the cold poison as a pretext. Wei Yixiao had already gone mad from practicing the Frost Palm technique, and his body was afflicted with cold poison. At that time, they were near the snow mountain, where the environment was extremely cold. Su Xin took advantage of this and set a trap. Wei Yixiao was careless and thus suffered a terrible attack."

After saying this, Yang Xiao felt a pang of shame.

If he hadn't dragged Su Xin into this, perhaps Wei Yixiao wouldn't have died. In the end, he indirectly harmed Wei Yixiao.

Even after learning the reason, Yin Tianzheng was still full of surprise.

Even with favorable timing and location, Su Xin's ability to kill Wei Yixiao is enough to prove that his strength has reached the first-class level in the martial arts world.

He thought to himself: This Su Xin's cultivation speed is too fast. He started from scratch in less than two years and has already become so strong.

My thoughts drifted to Yin Li. Ah Li was cultivating with Su Xin, and I wondered how she was doing now!

Then, thinking of his daughter Yin Susu, he felt a pang of sadness.

Seeing the change in Yin Tianzheng's expression, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a sense of doubt and tentatively asked, "Eagle King, do you know Su Xin?"

Yin Tianzheng came to his senses, nodded slowly, and said in a more gentle tone: "This Su Xin should be considered my daughter-in-law's nephew, so in a way, he is related to me in some way."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao's expression changed instantly, becoming complex.

Wei Yixiao was his best friend, and he was killed by Su Xin. He wanted to avenge this death no matter what.

However, Su Xin is actually a relative of Yin Tianzheng. If he were to seek revenge on Su Xin, he would inevitably offend Yin Tianzheng. Moreover, he now wants to invite Yin Tianzheng back to the Ming Cult, so it is not advisable for him to turn against Yin Tianzheng.

For a moment, the study fell silent. The two men were lost in their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

After a long silence, Yang Xiao took a deep breath, looked at Yin Tianzheng with a firm gaze, and said solemnly, "Eagle King, the grudge between me and Su Xin is a personal matter between us, so please don't interfere. In the future, I will fight him fair and square. Regardless of the outcome, after this battle, our past will be wiped clean."

Yin Tianzheng looked at the determination in Yang Xiao's eyes and pondered for a moment.

On one hand, there was the overall situation of the Ming Cult and the great cause of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty; he could not let personal grudges affect the overall situation.

On one side is Su Xin, Ali's cousin, and he doesn't want to see Su Xin and Yang Xiao both suffer heavy losses.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, "Fine! I can disregard the grudges between you, but you must promise me that this matter will be settled three years from now."

He had his own plans in mind:

Su Xin's cultivation speed is extremely fast. He has already achieved this level of strength in just two years. If given another three years, he will definitely be able to reach a higher level. At that time, he will have the true strength to fight Yang Xiao and will not be easily killed by Yang Xiao.

This gave Yang Xiao the opportunity to take revenge, and also gave Su Xin time to grow.

Yang Xiao pondered for a moment, thinking of the Ming Cult's current predicament and his need for Yin Tianzheng to return to the Ming Cult to take charge. He then stopped insisting and slowly nodded: "Alright, I promise you, I will settle my grudges with Su Xin in three years."

Seeing Yang Xiao agree, Yin Tianzheng's face showed a hint of relief. He stood up, his gaze firm: "Since that's the case, I will return to the Ming Cult with you, become its leader, restore order to the Ming Cult, and work together to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty!"

Yang Xiao was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Eagle King! With you here, the Ming Cult will surely escape its predicament and regain its former glory!"
