Chapter 436: The Reason for Failure

The other elders, after having their pride wounded by Xiao Yi, left one by one.

The vast Council Hall was now left with only Xiao Yi and the Great Elder.

The Great Elder was the first to speak, "Xiao Yi, based on what you just said, has your Xiao Family been attacked?"

"Indeed." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I came to the Sword Sect to see if there were any clues here."

The Great Elder asked with confusion, "I remember you telling me that your Xiao Family is protected by a Demon Hunting Order."

"Who would dare to go against your Xiao Family?"

Xiao Yi spoke gravely, "They are all outlaws from the local Northern Mountain County, as well as from a few neighboring counties."

"Outlaws?" The Great Elder furrowed his brows and said, "It seems that there are people behind this trying to target your Xiao Family."

"These outlaws are just hired hands."

The Great Elder was shrewd and naturally could guess these things.

"Have you found out anything?"

The Great Elder inquired.
