Not seeing both the ambush and the living Elder Xiong, this made the Hall Master’s heart, their heart, settle down a lot.
“Hall …… Hall Master! Hall Master!”
After Elder Xiong saw the Hall Master, his pale face was instantly moved.
For a moment, Elder Xiong actually burst into old tears, and his hands could not stop trembling.
Elder Xiong had never dreamed that he would be able to see the Hall Master again in this lifetime!
“Elder Xiong!”
The Hall Master and the others, naturally, were also emotional.
Immediately afterward, the Hall Master immediately spoke:
“The people have all been brought, can we start exchanging hostages?”
“Of course.”The other party responded.
The Hall Master swept a glance, and he was able to determine that the strength of these few black-robed people was very low, belonging to the kind of minions.
Moreover, the portraits of those higher-ups of the Shadow Sect, the Hall Master had seen them all before.
But there were none here.
Surprisingly, none of the higher-ups had come?
This caused the Hall Master to be greatly surprised, which was very different from what the Hall Master had envisioned at the beginning!
Even the Third Elder, who was taken as a hostage, felt confused, how could the Shadow Sect come with just these few trash?
This made the Third Elder feel insecure, if the Temple Lord tore up the ticket, he would be finished ah!
“Temple Lord, it seems a bit strange, they didn’t send strong men to hold the scene, aren’t they afraid that, we’ll tear the ticket, rob Elder Xiong, and then exterminate their hostages?”The fourth elder whispered.
“Let’s finish exchanging the hostages first.”The Hall Master said.
The Hall Master also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But the matter at hand was to save Elder Xiong first.
Immediately after, the hostage exchange began, both sides let go of their hostages, and both hostages were free to move forward.
Soon, Elder Xiong, walked up to the few people in front of the Temple Lord.
“Temple Lord! Temple Master!”
Elder Xiong was in tears of old age, crying with joy.
Seeing Elder Xiong’s appearance, the Palace Lord was also not in a good mood.
“Elder Xiong, you have suffered.”
After the Hall Master finished speaking, he activated his internal force and broke the chains on Elder Xiong’s body.
On the other side, the traitorous Third Elder, too, had walked up to a few black-robed men.
“Quickly go! Move!”
After the Third Elder gained his freedom, he eagerly called out to the several black-robed men and ran towards the boat at the side of the island.
The Third Elder only had one thought right now, to hurry and escape from here.
“Want to leave? Can you walk away!”The Temple Lord’s chiding voice suddenly exploded.
At the same time, the Hall Master’s powerful divine sense was instantly exerted on these few people.
Those few black-robed people, with their low strength, before they had time to react, their bodies directly exploded and turned into a mist of blood.
The Hall Master only needed a single thought, and his divine sense was enough to easily exterminate these few minions.
Immediately afterward, the Hall Master directly soared into the air and flew in front of the Third Elder, blocking his way.
When the Third Elder saw the Hall Master blocking his way in front of him, he was so terrified that his face turned pale and his two strands warred.
“Hall Master, the Shadow Sect has returned Elder Xiong to you, you …… you have to fulfill your promise and let me go!”The third elder was filled with fear.
Within his heart, he still held the last bit of hope.
“To the enemy, why do you need to fulfill your promise? If they send enough strong people, you will naturally be able to leave, but if they don’t, then …… you will only have a dead end! This is the price for your betrayal of the Holy Temple!”The hall master said in a cold voice.
Although this person, the Hall Master, was relatively upright and trustworthy, he would definitely not speak his word to his enemies, that was not being trustworthy, but rather foolish!
After the words fell, the Hall Master directly slapped out his palm.
Boom!
Mighty internal force, like a monstrous wave, surged out from the Hall Master’s palm, as if it had transformed into a terrifying dragon, ruthlessly smashing into the Third Elder’s chest.
“Bang!”
The Third Elder flew directly backwards and crashed into a reef behind him, shattering the reef to pieces.
The third elder, on the other hand, was no longer breathing.
At the last moment of his life, all he had was despair and couldn’t figure it out.
He couldn’t figure out, the Shadow Sect had agreed to save him, even the hostage exchange had brought Elder Xiong, so why didn’t the strong men of the Shadow Sect come to town and save him back successfully?
He was at least a second-order Transformation Spirit ah, the Shadow Sect was, by all accounts, willing to spend energy to save him ah!
He couldn’t figure it out until he died!
He died not realizing that, in fact, he was only a pawn to the Shadow Sect from the beginning to the end ……
After the Hall Master killed the Third Elder.
“Hall Master, Vice Hall Master they all died in battle, but I survived, I am guilty.”Elder Xiong was filled with guilt and hard feelings.
“Elder Xiong, don’t think like that, you are a hero, you have suffered, let’s go back first.”The Hall Master patted Elder Xiong’s shoulder.
“Hall Master, this hostage exchange, it’s too smooth, so smooth that it makes me suspicious.”Fourth Elder said.
Elder Jiang also nodded, “I also have this feeling.”
“Yeah, it’s too weird.”The Hall Master murmured.
When things go wrong, there must be a demon!
Smoothness was too much, but instead, it made them feel that something was wrong.
“Not good!”
The Hall Master’s face suddenly changed as he seemed to have thought of something!
……
Before this, inside the holy temple.
After Lin Yun finished refining the pills, he came out of the hut and walked all the way to the square.
The plaza was bustling with disciples, and there weren’t many of them.
Lin Yun realized that the Grand Elder was in the square in front of him.
Lin Yun then walked forward with large strides.
“Grand Elder, it’s already ten minutes past three, on the Temple Master’s side, is there any news?”
As soon as Lin Yun approached, he hurriedly inquired.
“Three minutes ago, I just contacted the Hall Master, they had already boarded the island half an hour ago and then have been waiting, but as of the time I just called him, the other party hasn’t shown up yet, but one thing is for sure, there aren’t any traps on the island.”The Grand Elder said.
“It’s good that there are no traps.”Lin Yun was slightly relieved.
However, without receiving the news that the exchange had been successful, Lin Yun still couldn’t completely put his heart down.
Lin Yun had always had a vague feeling that the hostage exchange didn’t seem to be that simple.
“Lin Yun, don’t worry, with the strength of the hall master, even if there’s something over there, the hall master’s strength is definitely enough to deal with it, and the hall master also said that when the hostage exchange is successful, he’ll notify me first.”The Grand Elder said.
Lin Yun nodded.
“Lin Yun, be patient, don’t be in too much of a hurry, during the waiting time, I’ll take you around to the outer sect, you don’t know, your deeds have long been spread to the outer sect, countless disciples in the outer sect, all regard you as their idol.”The Grand Elder said with a smile.
“To the outer sect? Grand Elder, as far as I know, inner sect disciples, cannot enter the outer sect at will.”Lin Yun said.
Although the outer gate and the inner gate weren’t far apart, Lin Yun had never been to the outer gate.
“You’re not an ordinary disciple.”The Grand Elder smiled.
“Uh, fine then, let’s go around while we wait for news.”Lin Yun nodded.
“That’s right, it’s more urgent to wait here.”The Grand Elder stroked his beard.
Just as the two of them were about to fly to the outer gate, a stream of light descended from the sky, the visitor was a protector of the Holy Temple.
“Great Elder, something bad has happened! The front scouts came to report, there are several extremely strong cultivators, is flying to our holy temple, among them there is also an extremely strong to demonic beast aura! It is …… suspected to be a demon king!”The protector’s voice trembled.
