The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 973 - 304: A Game Among Old Foxes

"Boom!"

The powerful explosion directly tore through the barrier of dense forest within a hundred feet, fully exposing the hiding place of the Golden Thunder Sect to the eyes of the Liu Family's formidable figures.

"Not good!" Lei Lie and his comrades' pupils shrank sharply, their bodies erupting in thunderous light.

But it was too late.

The originally attacking Liu Xuanfeng and others immediately locked their sharp eyes onto them.

A movement of their feet, and they surrounded them instantly.

"Golden Thunder Sect! It really is you!" Liu Xuanfeng's spiritual power surged around him, his voice like the cold ice of the Nine Netherworlds.

Whoosh!

The Fourth Elder, Liu Hansong, pale-faced, swept forward, resentment flashing in his eyes.

He spoke hoarsely, "See, I told you it was them, yet you didn't believe me."

Upon hearing this, the Liu family members' murderous intent abruptly skyrocketed.

"Hand over the antidote!" Liu Xuanfeng squeezed out each word as if through clenched teeth, carrying a chilling killing intent.

Lei Lie and his group were somewhat bewildered by the sudden accusation, instinctively saying, "What antidote? We truly don't know what you're talking about!"

"Choosing punishment over a toast, just search their souls directly!"

Liu Xuanfeng raged, his eyes bursting with cold light, right hand abruptly raised, a green light ball suddenly appearing and expanding instantly.

The violent wave of spiritual power distorted the surrounding air.

The light ball shot through the air, directly striking the Golden Thunder Sect group.

"Impertinent!"

The Grand Elder of the Golden Thunder Sect bellowed, waving out twelve golden talismans from his sleeve, forming a barrier of thunderous light in the air.

The two forces collided, the exploding spiritual pressure cut the surrounding trees within a hundred feet at waist height!

Using the concealment of the explosion, Lei Lie and his companions swiftly retreated, thunder light flickering around them, quickly opening a distance of several dozen feet.

"Liu Xuanfeng!" The Grand Elder of the Golden Thunder Sect, Lei Tiangang, flashed with thunder in his eyes, suppressing anger in his voice, "What is your intent?"

Liu Xuanfeng sneered continuously, pressing step by step, "What is my intent? I actually want to ask your Golden Thunder Sect's intent!"

Lightning glimmered in Lei Tiangang's sleeves, laughing with anger, "Intent? Because my Golden Thunder Sect failed to host you the second time? Is the Liu Family of the Imperial City so small-minded?"

Upon these words, several elders of the Liu Family suddenly burst into laughter.

Pretending madness and foolishness, are you?

"Small-minded? Who's really small-minded, you know yourself. In that case, explain why you're here?"

Liu Xuanfeng took a step forward and questioned.

Lei Lie's eyes shifted, he stepped forward respectfully, "Elders Liu, allow me to explain. For the past two years, tragedies of extermination have often occurred in the Eastern Domain. As one of the four major sects, our Golden Thunder Sect must take the responsibility to protect the Eastern Domain."

He spoke sincerely, "Especially when various sects request aid, we are obliged to assist."

"For the past two years, we've been tracking clues, unable to host you last time was due to being occupied with this matter."

"And this time," Lei Lie pointed to the mountain gate of the Qiling Sect, "through various arrangements, finally confirmed the culprit hiding here..."

"Nonsense!" The Fourth Elder Liu Hansong sharply interrupted, tearing his right sleeve abruptly, revealing a black, festering wound, "Dare you say this isn't the doing of your Golden Thunder Sect."

Lei Lie and others focused their gaze, their pupils shrinking instantly.

The unique stench emanating from the wound was definitely the corpse poison smell from a bite of an undead!

This scent was all too familiar to them; anyone bitten by sect leader-controlled undead carried this unique odor.

Wait——

In the next moment, Lei Tiangang seemed to realize something.

"Taiqing Sect, it's the Taiqing Sect——"

When Taiqing Sect wiped out Phecda Sect, they claimed the reason was Phecda Sect controlled undead, causing heavy losses of Taiqing Sect's mine personnel.

At the time, many believed this excuse was too far-fetched, just a facade for Taiqing Sect to dominate the Eastern Domain.

But only their Golden Thunder Sect knew that a primeval undead indeed escaped from Corpse Yin Sect's corpse nourishing land, even earlier than their discovery of the desert cave.

All these years, they've silently been searching.

They hadn't even moved away from the cave, hoping one day the opponent would return.

If not for a young man accidentally barging in that night, they might still be out there in the desert.

Since Phecda Sect's doom, the undead also vanished, either killed by Taiqing Sect or secretly detained.

Considering their well-crafted concealment just exposed, combined with Liu Hansong's bizarre injury.

Clearly, this was a meticulously designed trap!

"It's not us, Taiqing Sect also has..." No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lei Tiangang realized his slip and abruptly fell silent.

The keen Liu Family members were already aware from their previous reactions.

What did "also have" mean?

Meaning your Golden Thunder Sect truly has such undead?

Haha, originally thought it was the power behind the Seventh Prince playing tricks.

Unexpectedly, they underestimated you country bumpkins!

"I don't care whether it's Taiqing Sect or you, hand over the antidote now, immediately!"

Liu Xuanfeng's eyes flashed with cold light, spiritual power surging around him, "Or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Golden Thunder Sect members' faces turned ashen; they ultimately underestimated Taiqing Sect.

Thought the other was unaware of Corpse Yin Sect, but didn't expect a silent scheme.

Good, very good!

In that case, their counter-strategy can actually begin ahead of schedule.

You're ruthless, then don't blame me for being unrighteous!

But——

Facing Liu Family members' predatory gaze, Lei Tiangang felt a chill.

These past two years, countless experiments showed anyone bitten by undead would rapidly transform into a corpse.
