Cu Gil shot a cone-shaped rock toward Jil Lu. This stone was two feet long.
Jil Lu had just stood up when he saw the stone coming towards him. He quickly moved his hand forward and many thin needles appeared in front of him. These needles shot toward the stone.
These needles were only three inches long, but their speed was fast.
After that, he jumped back and summoned many more needles that floated around him.
He was a master of needles. Almost all of his methods were related to needles. On the other hand, Cu Gil was an expert of the earth path.
Cu Gil moved his right fingers and the ground below him began to grow upwards, getting him into the air. Now, he had a better view of Jil Lu.
"What are you doing, Elder Cu Gil? Have you betrayed the Clan?!!" Jil Lu shouted at Cu Gil.
"Shut up, you fool. Do you think that I don't know anything? Rise!!" Cu Gil shouted, and a dog made of rock appeared from the ground below. After appearing, it ran towards Jil Lu.
Jil Lu controlled the needles to combine together and many two to three feet needles appeared around him.
After that, the needles began to attack the dog. The dog dodged here and there. But, it could not reach Jil Lu.
"Elder Cu Gil, why are you doing this? You know what will happen if you keep this up, right?!" Eight elder Nain Kii who was at the side tried to stop Cu Gil.
She, Eun Woo, and Jil Lu were doing their usual task of looking at Yang Zhai when elder Cu Gil came from nowhere and attacked Jil. Just like that, a fight broke out between the two.
"Maybe, he somehow knows about the real reason for her daughter's death." Eun Woo pretended not to know anything. She also stood at the side and just watched the fight with Nain Kii.
"Let's help him." Nain Kii wanted to go and help Jil Lu, but Eun Woo stopped her.
"Let's not be foolish. He can handle it, what we need to do is to watch Yang Zhai. We are close to his house and his life can be in danger. If the Clan leader knows that we were all distracted, he will be mad at us. After all, the Ma clan is waiting to find a chance." Eun Woo was more rational and did not interfere in the fight.
She knew that her task was more important as it was related to the clan's benefits. On the other hand, Jil Lu only needed to wait for a while before the other elders arrived.
"You are right, we need to focus on what we were asked to." Nain Kii also agreed.
After that, both of them moved away from here and went to Yang Zhai's house.
They both wanted to check if Yang Zhai was fine.
Jil Lu moved the needles toward Cu Gil at a fast speed. All of the needles began to combine and created a large house-sized javelin. Thereafter, he moved it towards Cu Gil.
Cu Gil also jumped up and the ground below himself turned into a large house-sized dog. Subsequently, it jumped at the coming javelin.
Both the dog and the javelin crashed into each other. Even though the javelin was sharp, and it should have easily pierced the dog, nothing like this happened. Instead, it was the javelin that was starting to have cracks in it because of the dog.
It could be seen the power difference between Cu Gil and Jil Lu from this. Cu Gil was having an upper hand over Jil Lu from the very start.
"This is bad…," Jil Lu was slowly moving backward. He knew he was not a match for Cu Gil.
He summoned many more needles and shot them at the dog after combining them into three feet long.
Just like this, the fight continued.
"What is happening?" The Bai clan leader Tai Qi asked a servant who came to report to him about the situation.
"Clan leader, elder Cu Gil and elder Jil Lu are fighting. And what's worse is that the location they chose is filled with residences." The servant reported.
"Hmm?" Tai Qi's eyes narrowed after listening to the report.
"It seems that Cu Gil found out. Well, it was bound to happen one day, but finding emit in only one day was somewhat unexpected. So, who went to solve it?" Tai Qi stood up, turned around, and looked outside the window.
"I got no complete information about that yet, but I saw the second elder going there. If we see others, I will inform you right away." The servant respectfully reported everything.
"Very well, then, you can go. Also, what about Yang Zhai?"
"About that…," Here, the servant stopped. He lowered his head even more.
"What happened?"
"Clan leader, he, he went missing."
"What?"
The servant was sweating all over when he said this. He slowly looked toward Tai Qi and only saw his back facing him. Tai Qi was looking out of the window.
"How come this happened again? Weren't Eun Woo and Nain Kii supposed to be there as well?" Tai Qi turned around and looked at the servant, seemingly waiting for a reasonable reason.
"About that, Elder Nain Kii and elder Eun Woo asked me to tell you that they were distracted for only a few moments because of the commotion and Yang Zhai went missing in this short time."
"That's not what I asked for. You do understand that, no?"
"Huh," The servant was taken aback. He did not understand what the Clan leader meant.
This servant was a rank three cultivator. And yet, he was still a servant.
"What I mean is that how can a kid fool you people twice? Don't tell me he was attacked by someone from the Ma clan." Tai Qi's aura slowly began to move toward the servant.
"No, no, Elder Nain Kii said that they investigated everything thoroughly and found no traces of an enemy. The most likely scenario is that he ran away by himself." The servant was sweating profusely. Just listening to Tai Qi's threatening tone gave him chills, let alone his pressuring aura.
…..
"Achoo, maybe someone is praising me somewhere." Yang Zhai sneezed and thought.
"Brother Yang, can we please sleep? I am very sleepy, you woke us up this late at night, I can barely sit" Li Na could barely keep her eyes open. She was forcing herself to stay awake because of Yang Zhai.
"No, you might be needed tonight."
"Si Yu, make sure to slap her face whenever she closes her eyes."
"What?!!!" Li Na's eyes opened wide after hearing this which she could barely keep open a while ago.
