Chapter 8 Encounter with the First Elder
"After running across this mountain road, and we’ll reach the Sect Leader Mountain.” There was fire in Shen Fang’s eyes, he dragged Xiaoya to haste.
“Do you think you can run away from this?”
Suddenly, an old voice came from the end of the lateral mountain road. It was cold and furious. The first voice came from miles away down the mountain road, and the next moment it had come from the mountain road ahead.
A tall and vigorous figure floated down like a grey crane, blocking the way in front of them.
The comer was as thin as a purple pine taking its roots at the cliff. He stared at them, with his face ghastly pale and his eyes showing something vast and void just like the Deaths overlook.
An enormous gush of air resonated with the fierce wind on the mountain road. The oppression made people feel suffocated.
It was no one but Hu Baishou, the First Elder of the Blue Wolf Sect.
Thinking of the corpses of his grandson Hu Biao and Leng Bufan, the First Elder showed bloodlust in his eyes, as if he was going to suck up all of Shen Fang’s blood.
First Elder
Xiaoya’s face suddenly went pale without any trace of blood, with her eyes full of despair. Hearing the news, the First Elder caught up so quickly. We were doomed.
The elder stared at the them coldly, “You has violated the rules of the sect, and still hope to run away? Do you really think that there are no capable man in the Blue Wolf Sect?”
"How did we violate the rules?" Shen Fang stopped quickly, protected Xiaoya from front, and questioned the man.
“You are homicides.”
“Homicide? Obviously, a lot of people were trying to kill us. It was self-defense. My First Elder, can you tell me which rule indicates that the one being attacked couldn’t fight back?”
Shen Fang argued strongly on just grounds.
“Self-defense? Since you have good reasons, why are you fleeing?” The First Elder pressed.
Shen Fang showed a sneer at the corners of his mouth.
"This is even more ridiculous, my First Elder. Have you ever seen a refugee fleeing inside instead of outside? We are entering the sect, not going out. Which one of your eyes saw us fleeing?”
The First Elder's blue veins jumped violently on his forehead and protruded from his arms after Shen Fang’s offending.
His priority was to revenge for his grandson, so he didn’t have much patience to argue with this brat. The sect prohibited personal grudge and managed people by rules? He could catch and execute Shen Fang, and then explained to the sect which rules were applicable for the punishment of Shen Fang.
“Damn it, whatever you quibble, you cant shake off the fact of your defection. Follow me back and receive the punishment of the sect rules.”
His hands were claw-like, with his fingers attached with fierce killing intent, and he stepped forward to press.
Cling-clang!
Shen Fang drew out his sword and pointed his opponent with the blade. The sword was shimmered with purple light and was ablaze with fighting spirit.
If the First Elder was really ready to fight, Shen Fang wouldn’t mind striking firstly. He would launch a flurry of attacks to take the lead.
The spiritual force in his mind can help him correct his swordplay and see through others' swordplay. All these were Shen Fang’s advantage.
He was not to be deal with if he put up a desperate fight.
"Stop it."
A nonchalant sigh came from the back of the mountainside.
All of a sudden, the Sect Leader in a green robe appeared behind Shen Fang and Xiaoya. He stood there like a lonely green hill, his eyes filled with indifference, but demonstrated with formidable majesty.
“The Sect Leader!”
Shen Fang hauled Shen Xiaoya back and heaved a sigh of relief..
The Sect Leader arrived here faster than he had expected, and now the First Elder could not do what he wanted.
“My Sect Leader.”
Shen Fang saluted and sneakily lit his eyes. At this time, he knew that all would depend on the attitude of the Sect Leader.
The First Elder was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth bitterly. He hadn’t expected that the Sect Leader would come so quickly that he didn’t have the time to kill Shen Fang.
“My Sect Leader.”
The First Elder saluted.
Shangguan Li glanced at Shen Fang with some interests, and his eyes shone brilliantly as if he was trying to see through Shen Fang’s mind. Then he turned his eyes to the First Elder, indicating a profound meaning.
"First Elder, I heard about Hu Biao's murder and sent someone to investigate. Hu Biao contacted General Lin's secret envoy and plotted to kill our disciple. Collaboration with outsiders to massacre fellows is strictly prohibited by our sects rules. It was Hu Biao who made the mistake first.
In addition, Shen Fang has an excellent gift and is still useful to me. So, I suggest you let him go.”
As the Sect Leader, he got sources in every corner of the sect, which also ensured him could get the most updated information.
As soon as the incident happened, the Sect Leader knew everything.
Hearing this, Shen Fang secretly clenched his fist and heaved a sigh of relief. The Sect Leader’s attitude proved his judgement was correct.
Shen Xiaoya collected a little more of her scattered wits, and her beautiful face showed blobs of redness. She rolled her eyes to see the both sides of the mountain roads. She hadnt expected the imposing Sect Leader would personally show up and protect them, especially when the First Elder was in wrath.
“What...”
The First Elder’s face turned blue as he didn’t expect that the Sect Leader would say so.
The Sect Leader played a crucial role, which meant his grandson and Leng Bufan died for nothing.
Considering Hu Biao’s status, it was not quite a big deal to kill an insignificant apprentice disciple unnoticed.
However, if the apprentice disciple was an incredible talent, it would be quite a different story.
“The Sect Leader cherished talents. That explained the reason why Shen Fang ran in this direction. Shen Fang had planned to seek asylum from the Sect Leader from the start.”
Realizing this, the First Elder felt oppressed and angry. He couldn’t swallow his anger clenching his fist and making a step forward.
“My Sect Leader, I have different opinions about this. No one saw what Hu Biao intended to do, but Shen Fang's murdering behavior is of hard evidence...”
Shen Fang pulled a long face and was dissatisfied.
“Hu Biao, along with seven or eight people, took Xiaoya to Fengyue Cave. Everyone in the sect knew it and you said it had not been seen by others? First Elder, where is your justice?”
Where is your justice? Where?
This voice still echoed in the mountains, and Shen Xiaoya was dumbfounded.
The First Elder was second only to the Sect Leader in the sect. Even the other elders of the Law Enforcement Hall didn’t dare to show any disrespect to him.
My master dared to question the First Elder like this.
Looking at her master who had a slight sneer at the corners of his mouth, Xiaoya felt her master had become a little unknown to her.
Her master used to be very ordinary, but now, she saw domineering character from this young man.
That kind of aggressiveness would not decline even in front of the First Elder.
“Who do you think you are talking to? Do you know who I am? “The First Elder fell into a rage
Shen Fang sneered, “As the First Elder of the Blue Wolf Sect, you’ve just reached Advanced Condensation Realm. Considering your age, you’ve only made such little progress, and is still proud of that. If I were you, I would be embarrassed to death.”
The moment he defeated Hu Biao, Shen Fang knew how strong his gift was.
With tens of times stronger than others in terms of spiritual force, he could definitely be called a remarkable genius without peers.
If given enough time to him for cultivation, he really didn't think the First Elders power was anything to be proud of.
