The old man and the young man sat opposite each other.

The old man is Dugu Hong, and the one opposite him is Dugu Fei.

"Dean, why do you want to give the black jade card quota of the Vajra Court to the Tianhuo Court?" Dugu Fei asked in confusion. Originally, the black jade card belonged to Wu Meng, but Dugu Hong cancelled Wu Meng's quota and gave it to another disciple. After several twists and turns, it was sold and finally sold to Xu Yan.

Dugu Hong slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why Xu Yan wants this black jade tablet?"

"I don't know, it's just to give the disciples of Tianhuo Academy a chance to find an opportunity," Dugu Fei said lightly, and then frowned slightly, "However, it is said that the spiritual energy in the black jade ruins is not strong, and it is estimated that there will be no precious treasures and opportunities. Xu Yan spent a thousand middle-grade spirit stones to buy this black jade tablet, which is undoubtedly a loss-making business."

"You are only half right," Dugu Hong said, "I sent someone to inquire, and the reason why Xu Yan went to such great lengths and was willing to spend a thousand middle-grade spirit stones to get the black jade tablet was actually for Lin Xiao."

"Lin Xiao?"

Dugu Hong nodded slightly, "Yes, Lin Xiao wanted to go to the black jade ruins, so Xu Yan helped him find the black jade tablet."

"Why did Lin Xiao go to the black jade ruins?" Dugu Fei was puzzled "Is it to find an opportunity?"

"I don't know about this, but for us, this is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to completely get rid of Lin Xiao."

Dugu Fei narrowed his eyes, "Could it be..."

"This time in the Black Jade Ruins, the four major colleges will send people, and the Royal College will also send people. The Nangong family has a grudge against Lin Xiao, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and we can also use this opportunity."

"Dean, do you have a plan?"

Dugu Hong nodded, "Of course, it's like this..."

Hearing Dugu Hong's plan, Dugu Fei sneered, "As expected of the dean, it's really a good move. This time, even if Lin Xiao has three heads and six arms, he can't escape death."

"Yeah." Dugu Hong also smiled and nodded, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

A few days ago, Dugu Hong reported the news that Lin Xiao had a sword spirit to the family. The top leaders of the family reached a unanimous decision, asking him to get rid of Lin Xiao at all costs to eliminate future troubles.

Obviously, even the Dugu family's top leaders couldn't sit still when a sword cultivator with a sword soul came. After all, that person could very likely reach the level of a sword emperor. If that happened, the Dugu family would be under great threat.

In order to avoid raising a tiger to cause trouble, the Dugu family specially sent some masters for him to mobilize to help him get rid of Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao," Dugu Hong sneered in his heart, "Is it great to have a sword soul? No matter how evil a genius is, before he grows up, he is just a fragile baby."

"To compete with my Dugu family is destined to be the stupidest thing you have done in your life!"

----

In preparation for entering the Black Jade Ruins, Lin Xiao has been concentrating on practicing. Before he knew it, another four days had passed.

Four days later, when Lin Xiao left the pavilion, his aura was much stronger than before.

Now, Lin Xiao is in the middle stage of the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He has cultivated the Soul Gathering Finger to the fourth level of perfection, and the Shadow Step has also reached the third level and mastered it.

Now, there is only one day left before the opening of the Black Jade Ruins, and the disciples sent by the Sword-Wen Academy to participate in the ruins have agreed to gather today.

The gathering point is in the central square, and Lin Xiao arrived here early. Lin Xiao did not know who the other four disciples who were going to the ruins were.

But soon, Lin Xiao saw three people walking towards this side.

When he saw one of them, Lin Xiao frowned.

Dugu Fei!

When Lin Xiao came to participate in the assessment that day, he deliberately made things difficult for Dugu Fei who wanted to frame him.

Lin Xiao did not know the other two.

Dugu Fei walked over, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Lin Xiao, long time no see."

Although Dugu Fei was smiling, in Lin Xiao's opinion, he was smiling with a knife hidden in his heart, but as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, so Lin Xiao also stretched out his hand.

As soon as the two held hands, suddenly, Lin Xiao felt Dugu Fei's palm exert force violently, causing Lin Xiao's palm to feel a little pain.

However, Lin Xiao's body was so strong that Dugu Fei was at the peak of the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but his body was not as strong as Lin Xiao's. Therefore, Dugu Fei's strength had no effect on Lin Xiao.

Seeing that Lin Xiao looked normal, Dugu Fei

Gu Fei smiled slightly coldly, and then increased his strength.

Seeing this, the other two naturally saw that Dugu Fei was deliberately targeting Lin Xiao, but they did not say anything.

They had also heard about Lin Xiao, who was now very famous in the outer courtyard, but could not enter the eyes of the inner courtyard disciples. Moreover, Lin Xiao's recent performance in the Sword-asking Academy was too high-profile, and an old disciple came to teach him a lesson, and it was reasonable to give him a beating.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao frowned, as if he had endured great pain, gritted his teeth, and his face was tense, looking very painful.

Seeing this, the two old disciples all raised their mouths slightly, and a hint of playfulness flashed in their eyes.

On the other hand, Dugu Fei seemed to have a calm face, but he was struggling in his heart, because he felt a sharp pain in his palm. Lin Xiao's palm was as hard as a steel plate, tightly clamping his palm, clamping each of his fingers as if they were about to break, and faintly heard the sound of bones squeezing.

However, even in such pain, Dugu Fei had to pretend that nothing had happened, otherwise he would lose face if the other two saw him.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao still looked very painful, his body bent like a shrimp. It must be said that even Lin Xiao admired his acting skills.
