Chapter 5371: As expected, he’s dead

“Alright!” The crowd immediately cheered and followed him.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The thick sound of the ancient Bell spread throughout the entire green cloud Mountain. Everyone in the green cloud sect on the North Island, from the elders of the Golden core stage to the ordinary disciples, changed their expressions when they heard the bell. Without saying a word, they put down what they were doing and quickly gathered in the main hall from all directions.
When the green cloud Bell rang, something big must have happened. Everyone had to gather at the first moment. This was the rule of the green cloud School on the North Island.
“What happened?” The group of disciples looked at each other. If there was no major change, the green cloud Bell would not be rung easily. Could it be that something big had happened?
Chen Jiu and Lin Yi’s negotiations were extremely secretive, and almost everyone was kept in the dark.
Even Lu Pingan was surprised. He didn’t see the fight between Chen Jiu and Lin Yi. In fact, when Chen Jiu ordered him to carry Chen Dongcheng away, he had already left the cliff, so he didn’t know what happened after that.
“That doesn’t make sense, master said to leave Lin Yi alone. Even if he did, there’s no need to ring the green cloud Bell, right?” Lu Ping ‘an was confused. He still thought that Chen Jiu could easily kill Lin Yi. After all, that was a true nascent soul old monster. How could he lose to a spirit of unknown origin?
Lu Pingan didn’t know what was going on, and the others were even more confused. It was only when they saw the figure standing beside the green cloud Bell that the shock on their faces deepened.
“Xin Yijie, what the hell are you doing?!” Lu Pingan’s brows furrowed immediately. The other golden core stage elders also revealed looks of dissatisfaction. The green cloud Bell wasn’t something that just anyone could touch. At the very least, one had to be at the level of the Deputy sect leader. An elder like Xin Yijie, who was ranked at the bottom of the hierarchy, didn’t have the right to touch it at all.
In the past, Xin Yijie’s legs would’ve turned to jelly if he was surrounded by such hostile looks. Although he was still a little nervous today, he wasn’t panicking at all. After all, he knew better than anyone that from today onwards, it was a new era for the blue cloud School on the northern island.
“No, I didn ‘t. It’s an emergency, so I rang the green cloud Bell to gather everyone.” Xin Yijie said calmly.
“Do you have the right? Aren’t you overestimating yourself?” A Jindan stage elder from the Chen family faction scoffed.
“Xin Yijie, don’t you know what the crime of ringing the green cloud Bell is?” Lu Pingan laughed coldly as well, then added,””Speaking of which, what urgent matter could you have? could it be that the ancient martial granduncle has died?”
Lu Pingan was certain that Lin Yi would die at Chen Jiu’s hands, so his words were obviously more unscrupulous than before.
“No way? Wasn’t that imposter imprisoned at the ascending heaven cliff? he couldn’t have hit the wall and died, right?” The bystanders echoed.
The higher-ups and disciples of the other local factions all looked at each other in dismay. Xin Yijie had tried to rope them in many times recently, but there were very few who had really responded. Other than the fear of the Grand elder’s despotic power, there was another rumor that had caused them to waver. That archaic martial granduncle seemed to be a fake.
Xin Yijie looked at them and cleared his throat.””As for whether Lin Yi’s a fake or not, there’s no doubt about it from today on.”
“Oh? Is it because he’s dead?” Lu Pingan didn’t mind. In his eyes, Lin Yi was already a dead man.
Everyone turned to look at Xin Yijie. He grinned and pointed to an empty space next to the green cloud Bell. There was a white cloth covering it, and under the White cloth was a human figure.
“As expected, he’s already dead.” Lu Pingan was even more certain now. He believed that Lin Yi’s body was under the White cloth, because only a body could be taken out of the formation.
“I guess so.” Xin Yijie gave a half-smile and turned to the crowd.””I think I need to explain to everyone what happened at the ascending heaven cliff today. Elder Lu won’t stop me from telling you, will he?”
“Hmph, what’s there to say!” Lu Pingan snorted coldly. He, who didn’t know the truth, still wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner. He changed the topic and said,””By the way, Xin Yijie, you’re quite bold. It’s just the death of an unknown imposter, and you dare to ring the green cloud Bell to gather all the disciples. What punishment do you deserve?”
“But …” Xin Yijie paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curved.”What if the person lying here isn’t Lin Yi’s Grandmaster?”
“What do you mean?” Lu Pingan didn’t react for a moment.
“What I mean is …” Xin Yijie suddenly stepped forward and lifted the White cloth. When he saw the face of the person lying on the ground, everyone was shocked. As for Lu Pingan, his face turned pale and he almost fainted on the spot.
“Now that the one in trouble is Grand Elder, it shouldn’t be too much for me to ring the green cloud Bell, right?” Xin Yijie said.
No one responded, because they couldn’t speak, because their jaws had already dropped to the ground.
After a long time, Lu Pingan’s stammering voice of disbelief rang out,””This … This … How is this possible?!”
The one lying on the ground wasn’t Lin Yi, but Chen Jiu! How was this possible?
“No way? Could it be that a nascent Soul Stage old monster from another sect has come to attack?” The rest of the people who were still clueless were still in shock. In their minds, only a nascent Soul Stage old monster could defeat a nascent Soul Stage old monster. For example, Bing Wuqing of the snow sword sect, who had just left not long ago.
“No, the Grand Elder questioned Lin Yi’s Grandmaster’s identity, so Grandmaster Lin Yi took care of him. It’s that simple.” Xin Yijie said indifferently.
With that, the entire place fell into dead silence again.
The Grand Elder had been dealt with? In the past, these words would definitely be the biggest joke in the world, but at this moment, no one could laugh, because Chen Jiu was lying right in front of them. This was an iron-clad fact.
But even so, everyone still felt that the scene in front of them was too unbelievable. It couldn’t be an illusion, right?
Using an illusion to deceive so many people was undoubtedly a fantasy story. However, silently dealing with a nascent soul old monster like Chen Jiu was also a fantasy story. The credibility of the two stories was not much different to everyone.
“From today on, Lin Yi will be the only pillar of our sect. As for the Grand Elder, it’s a thing of the past now. We’ll just remember him for a while, but there’s no need to mention him again.” As Xin Yijie spoke, he glanced at the dazed Lu Pingan and added,””I don’t think elder Lu has any objections, right?”
