Hardly had Lin Xiao attempted to say something when he heard the sound of puffs and blows.
Lin Xiao followed the sound and something abnormal fell into his sight.
The three chief seniors, used to be sound and poised, were covering their chest with hands across the board, with ceaseless quivers heaving their bodies.
This weird scene almost made Lin Xiao thunder-struck.
It had been only Li Taixuan who had punted hard. However, now it applied to the three chief seniors ― altogether four people got overwhelmed by heart attacks. If they had breathed their last, Lin Xiao would have been guilty of the most heinous crime.
Lin Xiao came back to his senses hastily. Letting out another low-pitched shout, he went on hitting certain acupuncture points on their bodies in succession. Then their worrying symptoms finally subsided.
Wiping away sweats, Lin Xiao lapsed into contemplation, "Am I supposed to brief them about all that I'm capable of? Just in case that they would die on encountering anyone superior to me in martial competency. I'm doing this for the sake of their life."
Nevertheless, no sooner had the idea popped up in his mind that Lin Xiao dismissed it.
"Are you kidding? Even a tip of the iceberg of my skills was a stimulus beyond their bearing capacity. They will definitely die on the spot the second they are informed about the whole picture," Lin Xiao thought.
While Lin Xiao was making up his mind, he felt tight grasps on his both arms and his left leg.
On noticing that, Lin Xiao got so baffled that he could neither cry nor laugh.
It was a striking scene where three middle-aged chief seniors crawled up toward him. Two of them clung to his arms; the third, who was one step late, simply got a grip on Lin Xiao's leg after being pulled down onto the ground.
"Esteemed chief..." Lin Xiao said in a haste.
However, the three chief seniors chopped him off before he was done with his words.
"Esteemed Martial Uncle, so you have successfully produced the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs?"
"Esteemed Martial Uncle, are you truly capable of spiritual weapon refinement?"
"Esteemed Martial Uncle, as far as tactic formations are concerned, they are undoubtedly profound and elusive. You bet there is no sect in Chijing Prefecture that has a good command of tactic formations. But you're capable of them! Truly amazing!"
They looked up to Lin Xiao, with admiration overflowing their eyes. They put on ridiculously respectful looks. Their reaction literally resembled that of a toddler, who just started his martial training, spotted an immortal flying with gales.
Although they were still a bit uncertain, they had already figured out Lin Xiao's remarkable competency.
Li Taixuan stood aside with his arms hanging on both sides of his body, looking equally respectful as the other seniors.
Right then, they deified Lin Xiao in awe.
It was just as well that it happened in the presence of nobody else. Otherwise, anyone who happened to bear witness to the unusual scene would definitely end up struck-dumb.
Being the mainstay of the Taixuan Sect, Li Taixuan the Patriarch and the three chief seniors prostrated themselves in worship before Lin Xiao ― a young lad. This would, no doubt, freak out whoever saw it.
Nevertheless, their pious treatment was too much for Lin Xiao to take. At the moment, he only felt a sharp pain caused by the tight grips by the three chief seniors. In order to make them let go of himself, Lin Xiao had no option but to nod nonstop.
"Yes, it's all true, all true. Hahhaha...hum..."
Seeing Li Xiao nod in agreement, the three chief seniors went into raptures. Their frenzy started with waves of laughter, then they burst into tears ― they appeared literally insane.
Standing beside them, Li Taixuan was sobbing quietly as well. Despite the tears rolling down his face, he beamed radiantly.
The Taixuan Sect used to be one of the top five sects in Chijing Prefecture. However, it had been reduced to a prey of the Suomo Sect. In order to resurrect the Taixuan Sect, Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors had exerted themselves with no effort spared for ages.
Nevertheless, however hard they strived to re-establish the power of the Taixuan Sect, it went on regressing. In the meantime, the Suomo Sect had been picking up momentum. Hence the Taixuan Sect was right on the brink of being gobbled up by the Suomo Sect. In this case, the sudden unexpected arrival of a consummate martial uncle was a surprising timely assistance to them. It was conceivable they were delighted to the brim.
After a minute of bewilderment, Lin Xiao soon figured out the reason. Then he calmed down and stood there quietly.
Unlike the Forsaken Cemetery, there was no such thing as top-rate cultivation methods and martial techniques, Mudras or spiritual weapon refinement techniques in Chijing Prefecture, which was merely an average region in the mortal world. Against this backdrop, the Wonderland was the key to the prosperity and flourish of the Taixuan Sect.
Though there existed two wonderlands beneath the Taixuan Sect, one had already perished. And the other's situation was no better ― over-exploitation caused by the huge population of the sect nearly put an end to it.
At that moment, if any adversary got hold of a wonderland with ample resources and treasures, compounded with its power underpinning its development, it was no tough task to outstrip the Taixuan Sect.
Therefore, Li Taixuan and three chief seniors must have been taking pains to defend the Taixuan Sect and look for appropriate approaches to sustaining it.
Given that Lin Xiao was already in on it, he had to fulfill his responsibility.
Then he began to plan a countermeasure to the current crisis.
