"You vile beast! Leave my son alone!" A loud roar came from behind.
Long Chen turned back only to find a man running towards them.
The Man looked quite old. it seemed as if he was older than 60. He had a head full of long white hair, but no beard.
"You must be his father," Long Chen said to the man that had stopped just 20 meters away from them.
"Yes, Iâm Yao Mu! Release my son right now if you do not wish to die!" Outer Elder Yao Mu said to Long Chen.
"Why should I listen to you?" Long Chen inquired with an amused smile on his face as he tightened his grip once again. Yao Li found it even more difficult to breathe now. His eyes were turning red.
"You bastard! You must be an Inner Disciple! Donât think that I canât punish you! If you release my son, I wonât punish and I wonât kill you. I have already informed an Inner Elder. He should be coming here soon. Heâll take you to your punishment, but you wonât be killed! If you donât release my son, youâll definitely die" Outer Elder Yao Mu said to Long Chen.
"Hmm. So I wonât be killed if I release him?" Long Chen asked with a curious look on his face.
"Yes! Your life will be spared," Outer Elder Yao Mu said.
"Oh, nice," Long Chen smiled as he looked towards Yao Li.
Yao Li saw that smile and felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed as if he was looking at a devil just before a slaughter.
"Iâll repeat the same thing. Arrogance only suits the ones with strength or the ones that believe that they can survive," Long Chen said to Yao Li as he crushed his neck.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Li died with his eyes wide open.
Long Chen threw his body away.
"See? I released him. I can live now, canât I?" Long Chen asked as he looked towards Outer Elder Yao Mu.
"Youuuuu!" Outer Elder Yao Muâs eyes turned red as he ran towards Long Chen like a wild beast and punched his head.
"Only a 1st stage Earth Realm. cultivator? Why doesnât anyone understand? Itâs so simple!" Long Chen muttered as he sighed.
He saw the fist coming towards his head. Although it was Elder Muâs fastest speed, to Long Chen, it was as slow as a turtle.
He moved his hand and easily caught the fist.
"You! H-how!" He exclaimed in shock as he found it difficult to move his hand. He wasnât even able to free his hand.
"Because," Long Chen muttered as he kicked the chest of Outer Elder Yao Mu, making him fly far away.
Yao Mu felt like his chest was broken as he coughed out a mouthful of blood before he crashed on the ground.
It was at that moment, Long Chen saw that more outer sect elders were coming towards him.
"Friends, this inner disciple came here and killed our disciple. He even attacked me! Kill him!" Outer Elder said to the other Elders.
Yao Muâs body and his face were bleeding and he couldnât even stand up, but he was able to talk. He wanted Long Chen to die and he thought that with all these elders, there was no way he could survive even though he was unusually strong.
The Elders didnât attack Long Chen, instead they all looked towards the sky.
Another elder was coming towards them on his flying beast.
Long Chen saw the clothes of the Elder and realized that he was an Inner Elder.
The Inner Elder landed on the ground and looked at Yao Mu lying on the ground.
"Elder Du, youâre here! Please serve justice! A disciple from your inner sect came here and killed 3 of our disciples! He even attacked me! Please serve justice and kill that vile creature. He doesnât deserve to live in our great sect!" Outer Elder Yao Mu said to the Inner Elder Du.
Elder Du was an Inner Elder. He was just 40 years old. He had long black hair and a pretty decent face. He always looked serious and no one had ever seen him smile.
"Oh? Someone did that? I was wondering why you called me here, I didnât know it would be such a big matter. Donât worry. Now that Iâm here, Iâll handle everything. Iâll deal the proper punishment," Elder Du said calmly as he turned to look towards the person that was standing in front of him.
As soon as he saw Long Chen, his eyes opened wide in shock.
"M-m-master Chen?" He exclaimed in shock as soon as he saw Long Chen.
"Yeah. Do I know you?" Long Chen asked in surprise. He didnât remember seeing a face like that.
"How can someone as great as you know me? Itâs just that I saw you from a great distance when you went to take the test for leadership," Elder Du said with a fawning smile on his face.
All the Outer Elders that were present there were shocked as they saw the man smile for the first time. They couldnât believe their eyes.
The condition of Yao Mu was even worse. He couldnât understand why Elder Du was talking so nicely to the kid.
"Elder Du! Why are you talking to that kid with so much respect! He caused so much destruction. You must punish him!" Yao Mu again said.
Elder Du turned back to look at Elder Yao Mu with a furious look on his face.
"You idiot! You dared to mess with Master Chen? Has your brain been eaten by a pig! You donât even know how to respect a Demon Ranked disciple?" Elder Du scolded as he kicked Yao Mu.
Yao Mu flew even farther before he once again crashed on the ground. His injuries that were already bad had grown even worse, but he didnât care about them at the moment.
He was more worried about what he had heard.
âThat kid was a Demon Ranked Disciple? Master Chen, Thatâs right! He should be the demon of the sect, Long Chen! What did I do! How could I be so stupid! Why isnât he wearing the badge!â Yao Mu wanted to cry and slap himself and his son for making such a big mistake. Now even his own life was in danger.
"Master Chen!" The Other Outer Elders greeted Long Chen as they joined their hands. They were glad that they hadnât attacked Long Chen a moment ago, or they would all be in serious trouble.
"Master Chen, that fool made a big mistake. How do you wish to punish him?" Elder Du asked Long Chen.
"Thereâs only a single punishment, death. You must have heard, If small holes arenât fixed, then big holes will bring hardship. Itâs a similar principle. As soon as the enemy is killed, itâs over. Otherwise, they would just keep coming back like insects in order to get their revenge," Long Chen muttered as he began walking towards Yao Mu.
âAs expected from the Demon of the Sect. So ruthless and decisive. He isnât afraid of killing anyone,â Elder Du thought as he saw Long Chenâs back. He couldnât help but praise Long Chenâs decisiveness when it came to killing potential enemies.
Long Chen stood near Yao Mu.
"Please forgive me, Master Chen! I was blinded by my love for my son. I had eyes, but I failed to see Mount Tai! Please donât kill me! Iâll never do this again!" Yao Mu said as he started pleading.
"An elder should be impartial. Your sect should be your family. We are in an Evil sect, that doesnât mean that you can let your son do unjust, while you turn a blind eye. Thatâs how a Sect loses prominence. I didnât wish for any potentially gifted disciple to be harmed by that son of yours, thatâs why I came to punish your Son. Despite being an elder, you supported this behavior. Guilty," Long Chen said softly as he sliced the neck of Elder Yao and separated his head off his body.
