Chapter 265: Adding Fuel to the Fire
The Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder arrived at the Wind Forest Sect’s Main Hall late at night. However, the Third Elder had forgotten that he had ordered his subordinates to kill any disciple from the Grand Elder’s faction who set foot in his territory.
The pig-headed Third Elder had completely forgotten about this. Upon entering the Main Hall, he sat down with an imposing air and immediately questioned the Grand Elder.
"Old bastard, speak up. If you don’t give me an explanation for this, I’m not letting this go."
"What did you say?" Hearing this, the Grand Elder glared furiously. He had yielded to this mad dog of a Third Elder time and time again. ’Does this bastard really think I’m afraid of him?’
"Now, now," the Second Elder interjected, trying to mediate. "This is clearly the work of an outsider, aiming to sow discord among us."
As the Second Elder, he needed the three major factions of the Wind Forest Sect to maintain a delicate balance. That was precisely why he had stepped in to reason with the Third Elder today.
While the three of them negotiated in the Main Hall, the disciples of the Third Elder’s faction had already begun their slaughter of the Grand Elder’s disciples within Wind Forest City.
Many disciples from the Grand Elder’s faction were cut down. As the death toll climbed, panic spread among all of the Grand Elder’s disciples still within the Third Elder’s territory.
The disciples of the Third Elder’s faction seemed to have gone mad. They attacked on sight without a single word. In just a single hour, more than thirty of the Grand Elder’s disciples had been killed.
This night was destined for slaughter. After more than thirty of their own were killed, all the surviving disciples from the Grand Elder’s faction gathered together.
Only a little over twenty remained. Among them was Lin Yun, disguised as a Wind Forest Sect disciple.
Everyone looked at one another in dismay. They had heard rumors, but none of them had ever expected the Third Elder’s faction to launch such a sudden, murderous assault.
