"What a sharp tongue and analysis. If you hadn't met Xu Yi, someone else wouldn't be able to deal with you!"

A voice came suddenly, and everyone looked around to see a middle-aged man with a majestic face and domineering momentum walking into the hall, holding two guys as limp as mud in his palms like straws.

Lei Qianxiao's eyes widened, those two people were clearly the two Witch Ghost Sect remnants who had just escaped.

He had fought against these two Witch Ghost Sect remnants, and knew that these two people were not easy to deal with.

In just half a cup of tea, the two escaped men were not only captured, but also completely lost their ability to resist.

"Seen True Man Scarlet Fire."

Xu Yi clasped his fists and saluted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Qianxiao, Zuo Feng, and Wang Qijue were all shocked.

True Man Scarlet Fire's name is also widely known throughout Wufeng Country Cultivation World.

"This junior has finished what I have to do, and the rest will be left to True Person."

After saying that, Xu Yi cupped his fists and left on his own.

True Man Scarlet Fire's eyebrows jumped and she wished she could slap him to the ground. This bastard is too proud to take credit.

Xu Yi doesn't care what True Man Scarlet Fire thinks of him. Now he is holding Guanglong Hall, which really means that he is divided into two parties.

Moreover, he also knew that when True Man Scarlet Fire came, he would not only capture the mastermind who killed Qing Xiu and cleanse Xuanqing Sect's reputation, but he would also come to hunt him down.

Now that True Man Scarlet Fire's goal is accurate, Xu Yi really can't afford to let this hot-tempered old guy take too much of a psychological advantage.

Blowing up the pool of spring water that Qingxing City was contending with, Xu Yi retreated.

He has no time to work as a thug for the Xuanqing Sect, and True Man Scarlet Fire also made it clear before he took office.

He came here to do two things: revitalize Guanglong Hall and find out the murderer of Qing Xiu's death.

Now, he has completed both things. As for the arrests, killings, and the sectarian quarrels behind the fourth hall, he was too lazy to intervene and notified True Man Scarlet Fire. With True Man Scarlet Fire's temperament, as soon as he heard that the case was going to be solved, he hurried over and watched a good show directed by Xu Yi in the dark. As expected, the case was solved.

A few days passed by and that night, while Xu Yi was reading a book in the backyard, Desolate Ancestor came over and said that the four sects had finally reached an agreement.

Lei Qianxiao and Zuo Feng were both deposed and sent to the sect's hell. Wang Qijue was tortured to refine his soul and died.

Xu Yi, who was drinking tea, was obviously choked and stared at Desolate Ancestor in surprise.

Desolate Ancestor said, "Four companies joined forces to almost uproot Witch Ghost Sect, and seized many documents, including letters between Wang Qijue and Witch Ghost Sect. The death of Qing Xiu was revealed to the sky. But it was not what Wang Qijue said, Qing Xiu He owed Witch Ghost Sect a gambling debt. It was because he set up a trap and caused Qing Xiu to owe a huge debt, so Qing Xiu transferred Guanglong Hall's advantage was Wang Qijue. Unexpectedly, Wang Qijue's persecution became increasingly severe, and Qing Xiu felt embarrassed about himself and wanted to quit."

"When Qing Xiu was preparing to report the situation to the sect and seek transfer, for fear of leaking the truth, Wang Qijue hired someone to kill Qing Xiu. Who knew that the person Wang Qijue hired was actually Witch Ghost Sect's people, Witch Ghost Sect, took this to completely entangle Wang Qijue, forcing Wang Qijue to exert all their strength, crushing Guanglong Hall, and helping Witch Ghost Sect to gain a foothold in Qingxing City."

"Wang Qijue killed Qing Xiu. If you have violated the laws of heaven and committed such a serious crime, there will be no good consequences. Such an end is expected."

Xu Yi said, "Where's True Man Scarlet Fire? Is there any news about him?"

Just as Desolate Ancestor was about to talk, True Man Scarlet Fire's figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. Xu Yi waved his hand, and Desolate Ancestor bowed and left.

Xu Yi waved his hand, lifted half of the ivy lounge chair under him, slid towards True Man Scarlet Fire, and complained, "True Person came so unexpectedly, I really don't know what to do, True Person must maintain the demeanor of the seniors."

True Man Scarlet Fire sat carelessly on the chair, stared at Xu Yi and said, "It seems that you are ready to play passive confrontation with me."

True Man Scarlet Fire I have smoothed away many thorns. This is the first time I have seen someone so courageous. The thorns in front of me are really prickly.

Xu Yi said, "Senior, I have misunderstood. I am not that bold. It is dinner time. Have you ever eaten, senior? Although I live in a busy place, I have quite a few capable cooks."

True Man Scarlet Fire snorted coldly, "You are a sensible person, and I won't beat around the bush with you. You have made great achievements this time, and the sect will definitely reward you. Guanglong Hall You should step down from your post as hall master, and practice peacefully in the sect for a year or two, and then become the hall master. The qualifications are full, and the next spiritual root elder I, Xuanqing Sect, will definitely be yours."

Xu Yi said, "I thought that True Person's action would be extraordinary, but unexpectedly, he still did the same thing, slapped him in the face and stuffed a sweet date. It's just that the slap was too painful, and the date was too small, and there was no trace of True Person's sincerity. The sect was so disrespectful to its meritorious officials, which really chilled Xu."

Xu Yi Why don't you salute True Man Scarlet Fire? Isn't it because you have predicted that True Man Scarlet Fire will come back this time, not only to hug the grass, but also to beat his own fat rabbit.

It's not that he thinks people are so sinister, it's that the profits he made this time were so huge that they were enough to turn a moral saint who was pure and stoic into a lust-crazed demon.

True Man Scarlet Fire stared at him blankly, extremely puzzled by Xu Yi's tone. He couldn't figure out where Xu Yi's confidence came from.

Xu Yi looked directly at True Man Scarlet Fire without giving an inch.

True Man Scarlet Fire said, "I won't tell you anything else. The new Guanglong Hall master will arrive in the next two days. He will make the handover and return to the sect immediately."

Xu Yi said, "In this case, please ask senior to take a look at the handover booklet first."

With that said, Xu Yi handed over a ledger, and True Man Scarlet Fire took it, flipped through it quickly, and threw the book back, "You don't have to ask for credit. I sent you down here to do meritorious service. The mess Qing Xiu left is indeed bad enough, and you do have merit. When you return to the sect, you will be rewarded based on your merits."

What Xu Yi handed to True Man Scarlet Fire was the financial status booklet of the Guanglong Hall that he compiled when he took office.

Xu Yi took the booklet and touched his head, "Sorry, I picked up the wrong one in a hurry. This is the one."

True Man Scarlet Fire took it and only turned two pages. His eyes were like lightning, staring directly at Xu Yi. His face was as dark as a thunderstorm approaching, "I have seen bold people, but I have never seen someone who is so desperate for money rather than life. Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"

It turns out that the account book given by Xu Yi this time is his trump card against True Man Scarlet Fire.

Apart from some unimportant cultivation resources listed above, there are also a considerable amount of Yuan Dan.

The number of this batch of Yuan Dan is 10% more than what Guanglong Hall handed over to the sect in previous years.

Xu Yi looked at True Man Scarlet Fire calmly and said with a smile, "I only remember the promise I made in front of the Mingzhi Hall's Heart-Restraining Stone when I got started. I said, but entering the sect will not harm the sect's interests. Xu did not harm the sect's interests, but instead saved Guanglong Hall's critical situation, found out the cause of Qing Xiu's death, and washed away the sect's reputation, which is a great contribution to the sect."

"Now, Chief Law Enforcement Hall wants to kill me. I'm afraid he won't be able to kill me because of justice. If it's because of personal grudges, I don't know if this will be considered as harming the interests of the sect. I don't know if my senior has ever made a forbidding oath in front of the Mingzhi Hall."
