Chapter 1540 Questioning and Decision

Xie Xu walked alone in the darkness.

This is a remote and dilapidated alley located in Beicheng District, far away from the city center. The residents nearby are either unemployed at the bottom of society or outlaws with sensitive identities.

On both sides of the alley, there are low residential buildings. The doors and windows are closed, and no sound comes out, giving people an eerie and dead atmosphere.

Xie Xu wears a long sword on his waist, his eyes are not squinting, as if he is integrated with the surrounding darkness.

He walked calmly, seemingly slowly but actually quickly. A few minutes later, he arrived in front of a private house, reached out to push open the ajar door, and stepped in without hesitation.

There is nothing in the private house, not to mention a sofa and TV, there is not even a stool.

Seven or eight members of the Hundred Ghost Sect, wearing black cloaks and ferocious masks, were squatting or standing, scattered in every corner. They all said nothing, as silent as statues.

Seeing Xie Xu come in, they stood up at the same time, cupped their fists and saluted.

Xie Xu closed the door casually, with sharp and cold eyes, and slowly looked around: "Why are there only so few people?"

"Others are carrying out the tasks assigned by the door, so they cannot come away." A member wearing a black and red devil mask replied respectfully.

After hearing what the other party said, Xie Xu's eyes suddenly became a little colder.

When a tree falls, the hozens scatter; when a wall falls, everyone pushes it away.

Even though Xie Xu was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel angry.

After Xue Xuanyuan was defeated and died, those who were originally loyal to him instantly became a mess and could never regain their former cohesion.

However, Xie Xu understood the difficulties of those people.

After all, not everyone has the ideas and courage to change his family like him.

The seven or eight members of the Hundred Ghost Sect in front of him are all the core team that Xie Xu has tried his best to win over. Their strength is beyond doubt, and they also have the ultimate level of secret strength.

It was precisely because of the existence of these people that Xie Xu dared to boast about Haikou to Lin Chong.

"Forget it, if you don't want to come, don't come. You are enough."

Xie Xu pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and silently circulated his inner breath, suppressing the negative emotions boiling in his heart: "Brothers, thank you for your trust in me. I will just say one thing, from now on, as long as I can eat meat, I will never

Let you drink soup!"

"Everything depends on the leadership of the adults!"

A uniform response sounded throughout the room.

"The reason why I summoned you to Donghai City is mainly for two reasons. One is to find a new way out, and the other is to do a big thing with you."

Xie Xu did not waste time and said straightforwardly: "I have decided to seek refuge with His Excellency Lin Zhong. He will convince the Great Elder for us not to hold us accountable. In exchange, we need to serve him for ten years."

Everyone looked at each other and saw doubts and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Sir, can I ask a question?" the member who spoke before said bravely.

Xie Xu nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Why do you want to take refuge with Your Excellency Lin Zhong? The master of the sect obviously died in his hands."

The member whispered: "Although we cannot avenge the sect leader, there is no need to sacrifice our lives for the person who killed him, right?"

"Isn't it natural for a warrior to die in a fight? The master's skills are inferior to others, and he lost in an honest duel. What's the problem?"

Xie Xu asked back: "From the beginning to the end, Your Excellency Lin Zhong has done nothing wrong. The person who made the mistake is the sect master. He is dead, and we are still alive. Do we want the living to pay for the mistakes of the dead?"

The member's eyes behind the mask flickered a few times, and he was a little speechless.

"I actually disagree with some of the practices of the sect leader. He is too moody and arrogant. I didn't dare to question him before, but now I don't need to hide it."

Xie Xu said categorically: "Everyone, there is a difference between loyalty and foolish loyalty. If a king treats his ministers like his brothers and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul. A gentleman will regard his ministers as dirt, and his ministers will regard him as a bandit. If one day in the future,

My actions disappoint you, so you can abandon me!"

"Your Majesty, your words are serious!" Everyone was persuaded by Xie Xu, and they all clasped their fists in unison.

"Your Excellency Lin Zhong is the Grand Master of Dan Jin. His strength is unfathomable, and he is also the Great Elder's ally. As long as he opens his mouth, the Great Elder will definitely give him face, so taking refuge with him is undoubtedly the best choice."

Xie Xu smiled slightly and softened his tone slightly: "Besides, Your Excellency Lin Zhong is so young and has not yet developed his own power. Taking refuge with him at this time is a timely help. We will definitely be reused."

"That makes sense."

"My lord is right."

"We know very well that Your Excellency Lin Zhong has such high martial arts skills that the so-called true successors of those hidden sects are not worthy of holding his shoes. Given time, he will surely reach the top of the Yanhuang martial arts world. If we can join him early, the benefits will be limitless!

"

Everyone nodded again and again, all hesitations gone, and everyone was gearing up, eager to show off their power immediately and let the new boss see what they were capable of.

Xie Xu raised his hand and pressed down.

In an instant, the murmurs of discussion disappeared.

The room became silent again, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Everyone, let's start with the dirty talk. If anyone dares to commit crimes and kill innocent people indiscriminately in the future, I will chop off his head myself without having to take action, Your Excellency Lin Zhong."

Xie Xu looked around, his eyes extremely bright in the darkness, like knives, swiping across everyone's faces in turn, his voice as cold as ice.

Everyone shuddered and said in unison: "Understood!"

"In addition, we need to present a letter of nomination to let His Excellency Lin Zhong know our ability and sincerity."

Xie Xu gently stroked the handle of the knife, which was a subconscious action when he was thinking: "According to reports from the informants, some rats from the Society of Gods have sneaked into Donghai City. Our mission is to find them out."

"My lord, please give the order."

A member of the Hundred Ghost Sect wearing a teardrop clown mask said with a ferocious smile: "When it comes to assassinations and lurking, we are the ancestors of the Gods Society, and we guarantee that they will never come back!"

The other members also laughed hoarsely.

Suddenly, the entire house became filled with a ghostly atmosphere that would frighten ordinary people to the point of peeing.

"From now on, I will give you twenty-four hours to find the whereabouts of those gods meeting rats at all costs. The sooner we find them, the better we can sell it to Mr. Lin Chong."

Xie Xu narrowed his eyes, with flames burning in the depths of his pupils: "Their leader is Ellington, one of the five great gods, the top powerhouse who has unlocked the first genetic shackles. You are no opponent, leave it to me to deal with it."

."

"yes!"

Everyone in Baigui Sect shook their bodies, and their bodies disappeared in an instant.

After everyone left, Xie Xu turned around and went out, standing in the middle of an old and dilapidated alley, looking up at the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

"I hope I made the right choice."
