Chapter 226 Difficulty
After all, it was his own son, and his own cultivation was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. His son was possessed right under his nose, so Xing Jian was naturally furious.
Not only Xing Jian, but all the elders present noticed the fluctuation in Lin Xiu's aura just now.
To prevent Li Mu from using his son's body to escape from Tian Ce Palace, or from doing anything irreversible.
As soon as Xing Jian realized what was happening, he immediately swung his arm forward, sending a stone seal flying out to suppress "that Lin Xiu".
"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you possess my son! Get out here now, or I might spare your life. Otherwise, if you lay a finger on him, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
These words indeed intimidated Li Mu, who couldn't help but feel guilty and tremble with fear.
How come when other people time-travel, they become the protagonist as soon as they enter the world, achieving all sorts of amazing feats, with girls throwing themselves at them, everything going smoothly and without any real danger? But now that it's my turn, everything is completely different.
This is outrageous! No way, I have to give it my all. Lin Xiu is that old man's son, and I've taken over his son's body. He's probably seething with hatred right now.
Judging from the old man's imposing manner, if he were to obediently leave, his fate would probably not be much better.
As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Since nothing seems to work, you might as well take a gamble. Maybe by staying home, you can earn yourself a chance to survive.
Thinking of this, "Lin Xiu," who had been immobilized by Xing Jian, was no longer as flustered as before and gradually calmed down.
"Hmph! A fate worse than death? I'd like to see how you intend to make me suffer a fate worse than death! If you've got the guts, then come on. At worst, I'll fight this man to the death, and neither of us will come out unscathed."
Anyway, I can take someone down with me before I die, so I've made a profit! Sure enough, when Xing Jian saw the man's attitude and heard what he said, he clearly hesitated.
In fact, given his cultivation level, forcibly pulling the soul of the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom out of his son's body was not a difficult task.
Xing Jian hesitated because the difficulty lay in the fact that forcibly pulling a person's soul out of their body would cause great damage to the body of the person whose soul had been possessed.
It could very well damage Lin Xiu's sea of consciousness. Li Mu saw that the other party didn't speak anymore, as if he was struggling with something, or perhaps he was holding back something.
Li Mu continued speaking to Xing Jian: "I say, elder, if you don't want your precious son to perish with me, then immediately release me from my restraints and let me down the mountain."
"And while you're at it, give me a magical artifact for transportation. After I leave Tian Ce Palace, I'll naturally return your son's body. How about a deal?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Jian frowned even more deeply. This sixth prince of Mo Yun Kingdom was truly despicable.
If he ever falls into my hands, I'll definitely teach this arrogant fool a lesson.
However, Lin Xiu is now in his hands and has made this demand. If he doesn't agree, the consequences could be dire.
If he agrees, the entire Tian Ce Palace will likely have a much worse impression of him and his son. Then, it will become increasingly difficult for Lin Xiu to compete with Bai Ke for the position of Tian Ce Holy Son.
In fact, just yesterday, Xing Jian was very dissatisfied with his son Lin Xiu's performance during this training trip, which was witnessed by everyone.
It's likely that things won't look good at this conference, causing the elders to have low hopes for his son, thus putting him behind Bai Ke.
So yesterday, Xing Jian secretly approached the elder who had accompanied them on this trip, using a combination of persuasion and pressure to curry favor with him.
He wanted the elder to help his son at today's meeting, so that Lin Xiu could gain some credit and save face, making him comparable to Bai Ke.
At the same time, Xing Jian was certain that Ning Fengyi would turn a blind eye to this matter, which is why he dared to do such a thing so recklessly.
At this moment, Xing Jian naturally would no longer agree to Li Mu's request.
Xing Jian was in a real dilemma. He looked up and glanced at everyone, seeing that the elders, disciples, and sect leader were all watching to see what he would decide, which made him even more anxious.
The elder in the crowd who was in charge of monitoring the disciples' performance during this trial watched the scene unfold and was very curious about what Xing Jian would do next.
Just yesterday evening, Xing Jian suddenly came to his door, which puzzled him greatly. He wondered what Xing Jian wanted to do this time.
Although he didn't understand, he still politely invited Xing Jian in to sit down and served him tea.
"I wonder what brings Elder Xing here so late?" he asked curiously.
Xing Jian stirred the tea in his cup with the lid and glanced at him.
He then put down his teacup and looked at him slowly, saying, "Hehe, the reason I've come to bother you so late is, of course, about my son."
"Elder Xing, haven't I already fulfilled your request to take care of your son Lin Xiu during this training?"
Besides, now that this training is over, what else could possibly happen? Even if it does, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help.
“Hey! You can’t say that. The training trip is over, but the summary report and reward for the merits of this training trip is still tomorrow, isn’t it?” Xing Jian raised an eyebrow at him.
Hearing Xing Jian's words, he was somewhat uneasy. "I wonder what the elder means? Please explain!"
"What I mean is, Lin Xiu did make some mistakes in this training, and I know that you took care of him during that time."
However, don't you think it's a bit of a pity that Lin Xiu lost to Bai Ke because of this?
"what do you mean……"
"What I mean is, whether Lin Xiu succeeds or fails at tomorrow's meeting will depend on your help!"
"How can we help? The result is out, and all the disciples have returned to Tian Ce Palace. All the elders and sect leaders are aware of this matter."
"This is beyond my ability to change! Elder Xing, you overestimate me. You've probably come to the wrong person."
“If I say I can help, then you can help. So what if others know about this? Do they have any evidence?”
As long as Lin Xiu stands up and criticizes Bai Ke after Bai Ke's report at the meeting tomorrow, declaring that he subdued the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom himself.
"And you are the supervising elder for this trial. As long as you two stick to the same story, what can anyone say?"
"Even if we two tell the same story and manage to shut up the disciples and elders, what about the sect leader? Will he just sit idly by and let us twist the truth?"
"Don't worry about that. I know Ning Fengyi quite well. He's on Bai Ke's side, as long as what I do is harmless."
As long as his real interests were not threatened, it wasn't that important to him who captured the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom.
