Chapter 81: Uphold Justice and Seek Redress
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Brother Su, Gu Xuanyun of the Mystery Darkness Sect is narrow-minded and will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Today, you have formed a grudge against him. In the future, you must be careful when you arrive at the Hundred Demon Battlefield!”
The green-robed man took a sip of the spiritual wine and transmitted his voice to Su Chen.
After a pause, the green-robed man continued, “The Everlasting Sect’s Situ Feng seems to be a bit unfriendly to Senior Brother Su Chen, we have to be careful!”
Hearing this, Su Chen nodded slightly and replied, “Thank you for your reminder, fellow Daoist.”
In the following time, the entire banquet returned to its previous harmonious atmosphere after the small episode.
Su Chen had a good chat with the green-robed man beside him and learned his name, Lin Xuan!
As they toasted, time slowly passed, and the banquet was coming to an end.
The Eldest Prince, who sat at the top, had deep eyes and a calm expression. He took a sip of the spiritual wine and a jade pendant appeared in his palm. His gaze slowly landed on Su Chen, who was talking to Lin Xuan.
He was about to speak.
However, at this moment, two figures suddenly stumbled in from outside.
Seeing this, the Eldest Prince frowned slightly and looked at the intruders with displeasure. Then, he glanced at Su Chen and Situ Feng, and his hand trembled as he put the jade pendant away.
At the same time, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
Just as he put away the jade pendant, two figures entered the hall at almost the same time.
A disciple wearing the Everlasting Sect’s uniform wailed when he saw Situ Feng.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you must uphold justice for us!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s attention in the hall was instantly attracted.
Even Su Chen couldn’t help but look at Situ Feng.
However, the next second, he found another person wearing the Great Mystery Sect’s uniform.
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Su Chen’s mind. As if he had thought of something, his expression became strange.
The Great Mystery Sect disciple’s eyes swept across the hall. When he saw Su Chen, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Instead of shouting aloud, he walked quickly to Su Chen’s side and cupped his hands. After that, he used a voice transmission technique to tell Su Chen everything that had happened.
“I see. I know now. Leave this to me. You can go back first.”
Su Chen nodded and said.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Su Chen.”
After receiving Su Chen’s reply, the Great Mystery Sect disciple’s heart finally relaxed.
He bowed respectfully and quickly left.
“What happened?”
On the other side.
Situ Feng put down the wine cup in his hand and looked at the departing Great Mystery Sect disciple with a displeased expression.
“Senior Brother, 15 minutes ago, a few of our Everlasting Sect junior brothers were injured by a disciple of the Great Mystery Sect called Mu Qingxue!”
The Everlasting Sect disciple said with grief and indignation.
“It seems like troubles never cease!”
In the hall, someone chuckled and said, looking like he was watching a good show.
The conflict between Gu Xuanyun and Su Chen earlier was mainly Gu Xuanyun’s fault.
After all, he was the one who had spoken ill of Su Chen behind his back, making careless remarks first.
If Gu Xuanyun had really attacked two hours ago, even if Su Chen had crippled him, there would not have been much to say about it.
However, it was different now.
This time, the Great Mystery Sect seemed to be the one without a valid reason.
A disciple of the Great Mystery Sect injured the disciples of the Everlasting Sect first, coupled with the constant antagonism between the two sects.
This was going to be a big mess.
The Everlasting Sect had sent their strongest beast-taming lineage here.
Everyone knew that the strongest aspect of the Everlasting Sect was their ability to tame beasts.
Right now, everyone was in Imperial Supreme City, and the Everlasting Sect disciples couldn’t call upon their beasts to help.
In this way, their combat strength was cut in half!
Even if the Great Mystery Sect disciples beat the Everlasting Sect disciples, it would be taking advantage of the situation.
“Isn’t the Great Mystery Sect a little too overbearing?”
Situ Feng said slowly.
His voice was very calm, but anyone could sense the underlying anger.
As Situ Feng finished speaking, his gaze landed on Su Chen and he slowly said, “I wonder what Daoist Su thinks about this matter?”
“Is this an inquiry into this matter?”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and looked at Su Chen.
At this moment, even the Eldest Prince and the Ninth Princess, who were sitting above, did not speak up to stop him.
After all.
Right now, Su Chen and Situ Feng didn’t show any signs of making a move. If they spoke rashly, it would seem like they were biased toward Su Chen, and it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the others.
“The Everlasting Sect’s actions today have indeed gone too far.”
Su Chen casually drank a cup of wine and said.
As soon as he said this, everyone was unable to react for a moment.
This…
What was going on?
Shouldn’t it be the Everlasting Sect that is demanding an explanation?
Why did Su Chenyi become the victim instead?
And the Everlasting Sect had become the one deliberately provoking them?
“Daoist Su, are you joking?”
Situ Feng’s face suddenly turned cold when he heard this. His gaze became fierce as he spoke in an icy tone.
It was clearly his junior brothers who were injured, but Su Chen was trying to twist the truth.
This was absolutely a disregard for the Everlasting Sect!
“I never joke around.”
Su Chen shook his head and looked at the Everlasting Sect disciple who just came in. He said, “You just said that Mu Qingxue injured a few of your Everlasting Sect disciples, but why didn’t you say why she made a move?”
“Ah, this…”
The Everlasting Sect disciple was speechless.
He stole a glance at Situ Feng and immediately gained courage. He said in a deep voice, “The cause of the matter was that a senior brother of our Everlasting Sect was interested in a black stone and originally wanted to buy it, but Mu Qingxue, relying on her high cultivation base, not only injured a few senior brothers but also forcefully bought that stone!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Su Chen chuckled and said indifferently, “Why did I hear a completely different story from you? Your Everlasting Sect disciples were interested in Mu Qingxue’s appearance and planned to snatch the stone from her to satisfy some of your desires. And you said that Mu Qingxue relied on her high cultivation base. I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that Mu Qingxue is only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, and if I remember correctly, those injured from your Everlasting Sect should be at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm, right?”
“Ah…”
“This…”
Hearing Su Chen’s words, everyone in the hall could not hold it in anymore.
Although the majority of the Everlasting Sect’s beast-taming disciples’ combat power lay with their tamed demonic beasts, their own strength wasn’t too weak.
Now, several Level Four Qi Sea Realm disciples couldn’t defeat a Level Three Qi Sea Realm disciple.
If news of this got out, the Everlasting Sect would become a laughing stock!
At the same time, they looked at Su Chen deeply.
Su Chen’s talent was already very terrifying, but there seemed to be another prodigy in the Great Mystery Sect who was growing…
If both of them reached their full potential, then the future strength of the Great Mystery Sect would be extremely formidable!
