Heaven-defying Summoning System

After all, if Xu Tianchong was asked to deal with Gongsun Bao, he would be the one to reap the benefits. It would be better for him to act first and save some time.    

    

The strength of the Empty Sect was the strongest existence in the Ten Sects!    

    

Lin Xiao believed that the Void Sect had the strength to snatch away the Spring of Life first. It seemed like the true fear of the Void Sect was not Xu Tianchong or Gongsun Bao, but the Spring of Life itself!    

    

If the treasure that the four great families kept in the Spring of Life was really the Indestructible Demonic Sword, then... Then, the Indestructible Demonic Sword would most likely be almost fully recovered by now. If it was a fully recovered Indestructible Demonic Sword, even if it was an Emptiness Sect, it would not be easy to deal with it. Hence, Deputy Sect Leader chose to be the scapegoat!    

    

However, Xu Tianchong was Xu Qingruo's father. How could Lin Xiao harm him?    

    

Seeing Lin Xiao's hesitant look, the empty door Deputy Sect Leader sneered and said, "Don't worry. I can promise you that I will spare Xu Tianchong's life. It will not affect the relationship between you and Xu Qingruo!"    

    

"Alright, I can promise you!"    

    

He hesitated for a moment. Lin Xiao looked at Deputy Sect Leader and said, "However, you have to give me the Nine Ghost Grass now. Otherwise, I don't have much confidence in persuading Xu Tianchong to take action in advance. "    

    

Regarding the Skygate, the only thing Lin Xiao wanted right now was the Nine Ghost Grass. Once he obtained the Nine Ghost Grass, he would have nothing to worry about.    

    

The Skygate didn't have the qualifications to manipulate him!    

    

Deputy Sect Leader didn't reject Lin Xiao's request like Gongsun Bao did. Instead, he directly agreed and handed the Nine Ghost Grass to Lin Xiao.    

    

Lin Xiao wasn't surprised by Deputy Sect Leader's action, because Deputy Sect Leader was confident in doing so!    

    

Across the entire Central Region, no one dared to go back on their word after agreeing to the terms. The revenge of the Empty Sect. It was not something that anyone could bear!    

    

Therefore, Deputy Sect Leader of the empty sect was not worried about Lin Xiao playing tricks after he took the Nine Ghost Grass. He had enough ability to make Lin Xiao not dare to do so.    

    

This was the confidence of an empty sect!    

    

In fact, Lin Xiao had his own considerations for choosing to do so.    

    

The most important thing was for Xu Qingruo!    

    

After all, the Nine Ghost Grass was very rare. Besides an empty door, he didn't know where to find it. If he missed this village, there wouldn't be such a shop. Since Deputy Sect Leader had taken the initiative to propose a collaboration, Lin Xiao had no reason to refuse.    

    

Furthermore, Deputy Sect Leader of the Empty Sect only asked him to persuade Xu Tianchong to deal with the Treasure Pavilion ahead of time, not the Indestructible Demonic Sword.    

    

With the Azure Sect's current strength, it wouldn't be a problem for them to deal with a mere Gongsun Bao.    

    

In any case, according to Xu Tianchong's original plan, he was going to attack Gongsun Bao. He had only told Xu Tianchong the location of the Spring of Life in advance, which would make it easier for him to attack Gongsun Bao.    

    

"Since that's the case, the Nine Ghost Grass will be yours!"    

    

Seeing that Lin Xiao had agreed to his request, Deputy Sect Leader also took out a brocade box. In it lay a black half-void grass.    

    

This grass was the Nine Ghost Grass!    

    

Although Lin Xiao didn't know about the Nine Ghost Grass, he believed that Deputy Sect Leader wouldn't lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him. Therefore, after Deputy Sect Leader took out the Nine Ghost Grass, Lin Xiao didn't ask any questions and just accepted it.    

    

"Thank you!"    

    

Lin Xiao carefully kept the Nine Ghost Grass, then raised his eyes to look at Deputy Sect Leader. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Now, Deputy Sect Leader can tell me the location of the Spring of Life."    

    

"Don't worry!"    

    

Deputy Sect Leader smiled confidently and waved his hand. He looked like he was planning something. "The location of the Spring of Life is not confirmed yet. Just wait patiently!"    

    

Not confirmed yet?    

    

Lin Xiao heard this and could not help frowning. He said, "Then if the people from the Treasure Pavilion make a move in advance, it will not be my business anymore!"    

    

"Don't worry, this kind of situation won't happen!"    

    

Deputy Sect Leader smiled proudly and said confidently, "We will definitely get the news in advance. You just have to wait."    

    

Lin Xiao didn't ask why he got the news ahead of time because he knew that even if he did, the other party wouldn't tell him.    

    

However, in Lin Xiao's heart, he thought of a possibility.    

    

That was, the information source of the Spring of Life from the Empty Sect and Treasure Pavilion was the same!    

    

It was even possible that the source of information from the Treasure Pavilion was from the Empty Sect. If that was the case, the Empty Sect would naturally know about the Treasure Pavilion's operation ahead of time.    

    

If that was the case, the schemer of the unoccupied sect was truly terrifying.    

    

At this moment, a face emerged in Lin Xiao's mind. This person was none other than the red-clothed Elder of the Treasure Pavilion - Zhuge Yun!    

    

Regarding the Spring of Life's inquiry, Lin Xiao was sure that it must have something to do with Zhuge Yun. When he was in the Liang Zhou, he had invited Zhuge Yun to join his Bing State. Zhuge Yun had refused, but he didn't give any reason to refuse. He just told Lin Xiao not to ask any more questions.    

    

It seemed like Zhuge Yun's identity wasn't an ordinary Elder of Treasure Pavilion!    

    

Could it be...    

    

Zhuge Yun was a spy sent from an empty sect to the Treasure Pavilion!?    

    

When he thought of this, it seemed like all the clues could be linked together. Of course, without solid evidence, these were only Lin Xiao's guesses.    

    

However, once he had these guesses, Lin Xiao felt even more uneasy.    

    

After Deputy Sect Leader left, Lin Xiao immediately asked Loong Fei to make a trip to Treasure Pavilion and told him to keep an eye on Treasure Pavilion. As soon as Zhuge Yun returned, he would inform him immediately.    

    

However, ten days had passed, and Zhuge Yun had never returned. It was as if he had disappeared, never to be seen again.    

    

On the other hand, Sun Chai had looked for Lin Xiao several times and told him some news. However, compared to the previous heavyweight news, Sun Chai's recent news was basically insignificant. Lin Xiao only gave him a perfunctory reply and asked him to continue to inquire about the news. He did not care anymore.    

    

In these ten days, Lin Xiao did most of it to accompany Xu Qingruo.    

    

Under the torture of the illness, Xu Qingruo lost a lot of weight. Lin Xiao also felt sorry for her. If he went to accompany Xu Qingruo more, it would at least make Xu Qingruo a little happier.    

    

Five days passed unknowingly and Loong Fei's news finally arrived.    

    

Zhuge Yun was back!    

    

After receiving the news of Zhuge Yun's return, Lin Xiao went straight to Treasure Pavilion without any hesitation, intending to meet Zhuge Yun.    

    

At this moment, Zhuge Yun still looked a little embarrassed, as if he had gone far away.    

    

"Mr Zhuge, you have finally returned. After we parted that day, I will never see you again. I thought something had happened to you!"    

    

When Lin Xiao saw Zhuge Yun, he immediately went up to him and asked curiously, "What happened? When did you come back?"
