Chapter 234 - Leaf Sword Sect
The Leaf Sword Sect was one of the pillars of Havenleaf Constellation. The experts here were quite renowned not just here, but also in the entire Immortal Realm. Of course, not because they were renowned didn't mean they were one of the top experts.
While Leaf Sword Sect was truly a pillar, it was the weakest of the 5 pillars of Havenleaf. As a matter of fact, rumors said that this sect was already declining and soon would fall from their position. However, the fact still remained that they were a power not just anyone could mess with! With so many emperors and monarchs, they still deserved the spot of being a pillar of a strong constellation.
Inside the grand hall of Leaf Sword Sect, there was a composed middle-aged man with a green hair and robe. He was emitting a powerful aura that would make the mortals tremble in fear. He was sitting on a throne with an expressionless face. Opposite of him were 6 people. One old man and 5 youths.
Of course, this was the group that captured Owner Bu and Jin Rou.
"Fu Xiao, what's this all about?" The middle-aged man asked. He was called here by the reason that something important came out. But from the looks of it, it wasn't that important. How could bringing him 2 weak persons be important? Though the old man was almost a True Monarch, it remained true that he was still an Immortal Emperor. There were so many emperors in their sect, why would he need one and an old one at that? Thinking this, he began knitting his brows in displeasure.
Fu Xiao, the white-haired youth stepped forward and reported, "Sectmaster, these two have trespassed our territory. They were not from this place."
"And?" The sectmaster asked in annoyance, "There are so many people using our territory to pass by. And it isn't like they did something terrible, right? What's the need that you have to call me out for this nonsense?"
Indeed, Havenleaf Constellation allowed outsiders to use them as a traveling road. After all, the one in their territory was the only path towards a certain place. Of course, it wasn't for free at all. Travellers need to pay their toll per head and that's non-negotiable.
"No, sectmaster. We have been guarding our territory towards that place and we haven't recognized them." Fu Xiao was sweating. Although he could remain complacent in front of other disciples, it's another matter if the sectmaster was the one in front of him! After all, this middle-aged man was said to be a peak True Monarch!
"You're telling me that these two guys here have used our territory without a toll fee?" The sectmaster was more annoyed now, "If that's the case, you should have just settled this out yourself! You don't need to summon me just to deliver judgment for these two incapable beings?"
Fu Xiao was silent. The sectmaster was right. There was no reason for him to report this to the sectmaster as the things were under control. He was just expecting that since he had done something good, he would receive a bit of reward or praise from the sectmaster. After all, he had been digging his way towards a higher position in the Leaf Sword Sect.
While it was true that he did a good thing, calling out the sectmaster just for this was not.
The other 3 friends of Fu Xiao also remained silent. They didn't dare to breathe loudly as it might agitate the sectmaster more. They couldn't bear the consequences if ever the sectmaster decided to take out his frustration to them as he had been in a bad mood this past few days.
Seeing the silent disciples, the sectmaster's mood grew worse and shouted, "Do whatever you want with those people. I don't care. But never ever do this again! Don't call me for something small like this!"
Fu Xiao bit his lip. Being reprimanded in front of people made him ashamed and just wanted to bury everyone present here. He was the leader of the pack, so naturally, all the blame would fall on him. And if his enemies caught wind of this, they would surely mock him endlessly.
"Then, I will do so as you will, Sectmaster." Fu Xiao took out his long sword and swing it for a few times. He stood opposite of Owner Bu and Jin Rou with eyes filled with hatred.
That's right, he was thinking that it's the pair's fault! If they didn't come out of nowhere, he would not be scolded heavily like this. He thought that this pair deserved a fate worse than death!
Of course, Owner Bu and Jin Rou could clearly understand what Fu Xiao's look implied. They shook their heads for the idiocy by this youth. Too young and inexperienced, really.
"Go die and meet your mother's b*tch!" Fu Xiao was really mad, and he was planning to kill the two with one swing. He lifted his sword above his head and activated a system that could kill these two slowly in torture.
However, that moment, the time seemed to stop and the temperature dropped at the lowest minimum that gave Fu Xiao chills. It was like a feeling of falling into the coldest hell and would be frozen as soon the cold run thoroughly in his body.
He revealed a terrified look as he looked at the young man in front of him. That look was no longer lazy and carefree. Instead, it was a look of a mad dragon whose reverse scale was touched. This was the first time that he felt so scared that he almost pissed his pants!
Jin Rou was about to cut Fu Xiao's tongue and cripple him when a voice suddenly heard, "Fu Xiao, you are very wrong of how you treat my guests. I invited them here for a coffee yet you are being like this. Stop shaming our sect and get the hell out of here!"
