Chapter 92 - The Astonished Elders (2/2)

They normally would not be so impatient, but as such a grand bet was involved this time that caused their hearts to race, they could not wait to find out the result.

“Qin Nan!”

After a quick glance over the crowd, Xiao Qingxue soon detected Qin Nan’s figure at the back. Her beautiful face turned excited immediately, as her attractive figure began to sway from her heavy breathing.

The other Martial Emperor disciples were jealous after seeing this; how lucky can this Qin Nan be—to regarded as a brother by Gong Yang, and treated so preciously by Xiao Qingxue.

The five elders and Mo Li were startled after hearing this.

They did not expect Qin Nan to still be alive.

Following it, they all let out a cold humph, so what if Qin Nan survived, he still can’t achieve one of the top ten spots.

“Hmm?”

Mo Li frowned his eyebrows as he did not find Ling Zixiao’s figure after scanning the crowd.

The five elders frowned their eyebrows too, why is Ling Zixiao not among the three hundred disciples?

This caused Mo Li and the five elders’ hearts to sink, as an uneasy feeling rose within them.

Mo Li took a deep breath, and his gaze quickly found Xiao Yunhe and his crew. He knew who Xiao Yunhe was, as he was the first person he and Ling Zixiao approached when they planned to recruit people to hunt down Qin Nan.

Mo Li did not hesitate further, as he took a step forward and yelled, “Xiao Yunhe, what happened, where is Ling Zixiao? Why is he not here?”

The over three hundred disciples who had just arrived at the Mystic Spirit Sect failed to react, as they all stared blankly around.

As for Xiao Yunhe, after being questioned by Mo Li all of a sudden, his face went blank before he collected his thoughts after a moment. He moved his lips slightly, but not a single word came out.

Mo Li’s expression was twisted, as his words were now accompanied with an imperious and interrogating tone, “Speak! What actually happened? Where is Ling Zixiao?”

The five elders started to panic; Ling Zixiao was a super genius with a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, whom the sect would focus on training. If anything happened to him, they were the ones that would take the responsibility.

Xiao Yunhe’s eyelids jumped as he took a deep breath, and said with a miserable tone, “Senior Brother Ling Zixiao… He… He’s dead.”

“WHAT?”

After hearing this, Mo Li and the five elders had their faces contort completely, as if they were just struck by thunder.

Not only them, the other inner disciples, including Gong Yang and Xiao Qingxue, were utterly stunned.

Ling Zixiao is dead?

How did Ling Zixiao die?

When Ling Zixiao entered the Island of Versatility, his cultivation had already reached the ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm, which was sure to improve during the Trial of Versatility. Together with his ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, anyone among the new disciples would have a hard time trying to kill him.

Mo Li and the five elders soon recovered from the shock, as their faces turned cold instantly, while emitting powerful auras.

Mo Li, in particular, was extremely furious, as Ling Zixiao was the talent discovered by him, the subordinate he trained. Why would he not be angry now that he was killed?

With this thought, Mo Li could not hold it back any longer, as his Martial Emperor aura burst out together with his gaze toward Huang Long. He said in a cold tone, “Huang Long, why did you kill Ling Zixiao? It was only a trial between the disciples. Ling Zixiao had a great future ahead of him as a super genius. Why did you kill him?”
