Chapter 769 - Overkill (1/2)

Even though what had happened to Elder Geng's disciple was long past, Yuchi Bing Xia felt that this issue was much more pressing than taking care of their guests. They had to find out just what was going on. Had Ma Zhi Wu run into demonic cultivators? A demonic beast? Or maybe disciples from another sect had ganged up on him and killed him?

Everything was possible, making this even more infuriating. If they knew just who was responsible for this, they might find clues as to where they could look for him. But if they didn't … And even if he was dead, they wouldn't be able to bring his body back or seek revenge. It was maddening! It was a disgrace and one he wouldn't allow continuing.

He really wanted to get a team of disciples and maybe even involve the Elders and let everyone investigate this case until they found out exactly what had happened back then. Unfortunately, there were still the sects that needed to be taken care of and even though he didn't feel that they were important, they were on the Yun Zou Sect's territory and couldn't just be left alone. That would only invite more trouble.

Yuchi Bing Xia visited the other Elders in a sour mood and commanded everybody to send their head disciples to deal with the visitors. He only hesitated when it came to Grandmaster Zhangsun.

By now, the Grandmaster also had a disciple that could be of help in this situation. But asking the Grandmaster for his assistance with such a minor task … That did seem to be a bit of an overkill.

Furthermore, this person had the highest cultivation base in their sect. His disciple was also a rare genius with a divine constitution. Should that type of person really be used to humor a few people that had come uninvited? They weren't any special guest!

Actually, whether it was the first-tier sects the ranked below them or the first-tier sects ranking above them, none of them could pride themselves to have a similar disciple. In that regard, all of them could only look up to their Yun Zou Sect. They simply weren't worthy to take up the time of such a disciple.

Unfortunately, the Yun Zou Sect didn't have too many disciples that would be able to keep all these people busy. With somebody like Grandmaster Zhangsun's disciple around, those Elders wouldn't dare to send one of their disciples to sniff around.

Yuchi Bing Xia paced up and down inside his study and finally cursed. Well, this wasn't an optimal situation but what could he do? He should just go and talk to the Grandmaster and see what he thought.

He left his palace and flew over to the Grandmaster's peak, walking to his study and greeting him with a wry smile. ”Grandmaster Zhangsun.”

Zhangsun Xun Yi looked up and raised his brows. ”Did something happen?”

Yuchi Bing Xia nodded and stepped closer with a sigh. ”Well, maybe saying something happened isn't too accurate either. I'm still in the same dilemma. All those sects have come over and we'll have to make sure that they don't sniff around too much. I was thinking of having some of our higher-ranking disciples pay attention to them but you also know how the situation is. What do you think? Would it be too much to have your disciple help out as well?”

Zhangsun Xun Yi furrowed his brows in response. ”Well, his status is indeed a little high. But considering what you want to achieve … I think it would be a good idea.”
