The younger disciple’s face was calm as he said, “The Yunjian Sect Master truly embodies prestige, allowing your disciples to provoke others, yet denying my senior brother the right to seek justice? This doesn’t seem right.”
“Moreover, daring to intimidate my Dayue Palace, that’s truly unwise.”
“This time, I have merely come on behalf of my senior brother to inform you. If you consider us to be overreaching, then I will have no choice but to return and inform my senior brother to handle this matter personally at the Yunjian Sect.”
Upon hearing these words, the complexion of the Sect Master and the Second Elder from the Yunjian Sect underwent a significant change.
Their implication was that if Yunjian Sect did not solve this matter now, Taoist Shuhai from Dayue Palace would personally pay them a visit to settle this matter using force!
They had only two choices — to submit or to confront Taoist Shuhai directly. To be honest, the Yunjian Sect Master was not afraid of the elder disciple of
Dayue Palace, even though he seemed to already be in the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. As the Yunjian Sect Master, he would not be easily bullied.
However, the people standing behind Taoist Shuhai were more intimidating as Iron Scroll Taoist was notoriously protective of his disciples.
Not to mention, Dayue Palace was the sole reigning power in the world of cultivators of the Dayue Prefecture, without competition.
The strength of the founding ancestors of Yunjian Sect might not even be as strong as that of Iron Scroll Taoist.
How were they supposed to fight Taoist Shuhai?
After a momentary silence, the Yunjian Sect Master drew a deep breath, and showed a faint smile to appease the younger disciple of Taoist Shuhai. He quietly asked, “May I inquire who is this good friend of Taoist Shuhai?” The younger disciple was stunned, he didn’t know!
But recalling the senior brother’s address earlier, he calmly answered, “My senior brother refers to him as Taoist Friend Su, I suppose the Sect Master of Yunjian Sect should know who he is?”
The pupils of the Yunjian Sect Master contracted, a sense of shock in his heart. Taoist Friend Su? Su Zhi?
The Second Elder of Yunjian Sect was equally shocked, his face somewhat pale. Taoist Friend Su? Su Zhi? Since when did Su Zhi get involved with the disciple of an elder from the Dayue Palace, this traitor? They didn’t know anyone else from the Su Family.
Nor had they ever really taken into consideration other people from the Su Family.
But now hearing Taoist Shuhai was standing up for ‘Taoist Friend Su’ and given its association with the matter of Chen Bailai, it was definitely without a doubt, su Zhi.
The face of Yunjian Sect Master twitched a bit, he nodded with a forced laugh and said, “What you said about our Sect’s disciple Chen Bailai provoking the good friend of Taoist Shuhai, I am unaware of these circumstances. I will investigate it.”
“Furthermore, the Taoist Friend Su you mentioned should be our Sect’s disciple
Su Zhi, thus, there must be some misunderstanding with this matter.”
“As far as I know, Chen Bailai has some affection for Su Zhi and thus, desired to become her Taoist companion.”
“The provocation you mentioned may just be a small misunderstanding among such young Taoist companions.”
“Look at this misunderstanding. I will definitely investigate it and deal with it strictly so that such small matters will not affect the relationship among the disciples.”
“Also, the internal affairs of our Yunjian Sect surely won’t bother Taoist Shuhai.
Although we Yunjian Sect may not compare to the Dayue Palace, we are not a vassal to it either. We can manage our own affairs.”
The younger disciple furrowed his brows. Was this all they had to say?
Was this the explanation Yunjian Sect was giving to his senior brother?
He glanced deeply at the Yunjian Sect Master and nodded, saying, “I will take your words back to my senior brother. Both of you should take care.”
After saying his peace, he turned and left the Yunjian Sect’s outpost, without any hesitation.
Following his departure, the faces of Yunjian Sect Master and the Second Elder darkened completely and looked rather unpleasant. Especially the Yunjian Sect Master, it had been a while since anyone had dared to threaten him or force him to yield.
This was just a disciple of Dayue Palace!
Both of them remained silent for a long time.
The Second Elder of Yunjian Sect looked up at the Sect Master and whispered, “Then Sect Master, how will Su Zhi be dealt with?”
The Yunjian Sect Master glanced at him and calmly said, “Chen Bailai is guilty of unwarranted provocation towards a fellow disciple, he will be penalized half a year’s pay and upon his return to the Sect, he will be sent to the Cliff of Reflection for three months.’
“You’d best forget about Su Zhi. Even if you’ve broken through to the Pseudo Core Formation stage, you still won’t be able to touch her.”
“Taoist Shuhai isn’t just an ordinary prodigy, he has at least a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the Core Formation stage, excluding the Golden Pill Stage. His relationship with Su Zhi is special, and there’s even the possibility of it being extraordinary.”
“Do you dare to provoke him?”
The Second Elder’s face darkened even more, then he lowered his head and sighed softly.
He, didn’t dare.
“The Sect Master is right. I will let Bailai retreat to the Cliff of Reflection after his return.”
Initially, his heart was elated knowing that he had received the Haotian Pill, and with it the opportunity to break through to the Pseudo Core formation stage. If he were successful, then his position within Yunjian Sect would be second only to the founding ancestors.
Having given it such thought, his heart had begun to swell with pride.
Therefore, he had already decided that upon returning to the Sect, he would deal with Su Zhi, with them as the master and her as the subject. She would be at his mercy.
But here came the reality!
He hadn’t even started to break through the Pseudo Core Formation stage and reality had already struck him hard.
Not only could he not touch Su Zhi, from now on, he would have to treat her with extreme care.
Because even he, the Second Elder of Yunjian Sect, did not dare to offend individuals that Su Zhi was associated with.
Where was his pride now? All that remained was extreme frustration.
Yunjian Sect Master said in a low tone, “Go and prepare to retreat. This is just a minor matter, a mere Su Zhi cannot affect much. The big issue is what you do when you return to the sect after your breakthrough..”
