In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 156 The Offering of the Mysterious Sect

"What is it now?" The First Elder asked, seeing Qin Xuanyu stop him, wondering what tricks he was up to now.

"Elder, can you represent the entire Ghost Sect? If I heard correctly, you are only the Elder. I need your sect leader to come out and sign and seal the document for it to be valid."

Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue arranged all of this for this very moment.

As expected, the First Elder and the Second Elder's expressions stiffened. The First Elder smiled and said, "Now, I am the acting sect leader of the entire Poison Sect, so I am qualified to represent the entire Poison Sect."

"You yourself said you're from the Poison Sect. I remember you also have a Medicine Sect, right?"

The elder's face darkened. "So, you did this on purpose."

His face was extremely ugly, knowing that he had been tricked by Qin Xuanyu and that brat.

"Elder, what makes you say that? It's written in black and white here that we are negotiating an agreement with the Ghost Sect. You only represent the Poison Sect, not the entire Ghost Sect."

Jiang Qingyue looked at the Grand Elder with a cold smile, echoing Qin Xuanyu's words.

"You..." The Grand Elder suppressed his anger and maintained a smile, "The Ghost Sect has been disintegrating for many years. The Medical Sect has already left the Ghost Sect. Now, only the Poison Sect remains in the Ghost Sect."

"You're talking nonsense!" At this moment, Wuming arrived with Luoyuan.

As Jiang Qingyue and Qin Xuanyu walked ahead, they also left a secret signal for Wuming to bring Luo Yuan along.

Upon entering the Poison Sect, the two were immediately surrounded.

However, because they carried antidotes prepared in advance by Jiang Qingyue, the poison powder and gas could not harm them for the time being.

With Wuming present, carrying Luo Yuan in a half-flying, half-running manner, they were unable to catch up for a time.

What you didn't expect was that their target was actually the Grand Elder's side.

Fearing they were assassins trying to kill the Grand Elder, they chased after them. So now, the situation is that a group of people are chasing Wuming and Luoyuan, and they have also come to the Grand Elder's side.

"You..." The Grand Elder's pupils contracted the moment he saw Luo Yuan.

He had met Luo Yuan before; he was a capable disciple of the Medical Sect. He was actually still alive!

"Elder, an outsider has intruded! We'll deal with it immediately!" One of the disciples, fearing the elder's anger, quickly explained and prepared to take action.

However, the Second Elder waved his hand to stop them, saying, "They're not assassins; they're with them."

The crowd hesitated, glancing at the Second Elder and then at the First Elder, unsure of what to do.

Luo Yuan slowly stepped forward, smiling at the Grand Elder, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Grand Elder, you're trying to say how I didn't die, right?"

The Grand Elder glared intently at Luo Yuan, the murderous intent in his eyes was obvious to everyone.

"Elder, ten years ago, you poisoned the sect leader and forced him to leave by using the names of the medical sect members. Afterwards, you carried out a large-scale massacre of the medical sect and took the position of acting sect leader."

Unfortunately, despite your best efforts, you failed to obtain the sect leader's token from him, so some reclusive elders within the sect do not approve of you.

You couldn't beat them, and you didn't dare to do anything to them, so you made do for ten years.

However, during these ten years, you have never given up the massacre of the Medical Sect. As long as you hear any trace of the Medical Sect, you would rather kill the innocent than let them go.

"Elder, now I will show everyone your true colors!"

Those who caught up were increasingly shocked as they listened. Wasn't it said that the Medical Sect had betrayed the Ghost Sect? How could this be...?

Yes, in order to appease the sect members, the Grand Elder claimed to the outside world that the Medical Sect had betrayed them and that the sect leader had gone to hunt them down, but his whereabouts were unknown.

They had been hiding in this small place for a long time, and apart from a few elders and confidants, no one knew anything about the outside world. Therefore, they believed whatever the Poison Sect people said.

But now that they're being told it was all a conspiracy, it's hard for them to accept.

One of the more clever-looking men listened for a moment, then, using the shadows of others to shield himself, slowly retreated from the room.

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. What nonsense are you spouting? Luo Yuan, I never expected that not only would you betray the Ghost Sect, but you would also be so shameless as to distort the truth and even incite and deceive His Highness Prince Qin. You are courting death!"

After saying that, the elder prepared to make a move to silence him, but Qin Xuanyu easily deflected the attack.

"Elder, please don't be in such a hurry. Let Luo Yuan finish speaking to avoid any misunderstandings. After all, this involves cooperation and is of utmost importance!"

After Qin Xuanyu spoke, the Grand Elder dared not say anything more, for fear of causing Qin Xuanyu to misunderstand.

He could only beat his chest and stamp his feet, crying out, "What a misfortune for the sect! Sect Master, I'm so sorry!"

The elder looked genuinely heartbroken, and it was impossible for him to be faking it.

"Alright, stop pretending. You know what you've done. Today, I will avenge the wronged souls of my Medical Sect!"

After saying that, Luo Yuan raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at the Grand Elder.

"Who dares to be so insolent!" A powerful roar startled many people present, causing Luo Yuan to lose his grip on his sword, which clattered to the ground.

Everyone looked in the direction the sound came from and saw two elderly men with gray hair walking in front, followed by the person who had secretly slipped away.

"Greetings, Your Excellencies!" All the members of the Poison Sect present bowed respectfully in unison, which was enough to prove just how great their prestige was.

The Worshippers of the Ghost Sect are above the sect leader in status. They do not participate in sect struggles or affairs. They only intervene when the sect faces a life-or-death crisis.

Similarly, the sect leader cannot command them, and in fact, the fact that the Grand Elder failed to take the position because of their lack of recognition is enough to prove their status.

One of the taller, thinner elders sized up Qin Xuanyu and his group of four, finally fixing his gaze on Qin Xuanyu's head. "Your Highness, what brings you to my Ghost Sect? I heard you're planning to destroy my Ghost Sect?"

That's right, the person who sneaked away was someone from the imperial court causing trouble, preparing to raze the Guizong sect to the ground.

They went to check it out, and sure enough, they heard this outrageous statement.

"My two esteemed guests, I have no such connection. In fact, I am here to seek cooperation." After saying this, Qin Xuanyu had Wuming hand the agreement to the guests.

However, after glancing at the offering twice, he tore it up immediately, saying, "My Gui Sect and the royal family have always kept to themselves, so there's no need for cooperation."

The elder dared not say anything, but could only curse the two old bastards who had caused the trouble in his heart, and even more so the person who had alarmed them. He would definitely not let that person off the hook later.

"Keep to yourselves? It seems you two are unaware of what happened a few days ago!"

Qin Xuanyu made a pointed remark, and Luo Yuan was quite happy to step forward to be the storyteller.

"Wait!" the Grand Elder quickly stopped them. "My two esteemed guests, if that's the case, I'll throw them out immediately!"

The Grand Elder jumped out to stop them, because he absolutely could not allow them to reveal that matter!
