Chapter 1684 - 857: Evil Soul (2)
"Hupai" Xiao Tiannan! You are the newly appointed Palace Master Qin Wuyou of the New Moon Palace - Xiao Tiannan spoke with a dark expression.
He originally thought his status would be enough to startle the newly appointed Palace Leader. However, to his disappointment, the Palace Leader, upon hearing his name, not only did not show fear but began to laugh: "You are the current master of the Small Sect." This afternoon, I heard your son mentioned that you were unwell and found traveling difficult. I had planned to visit tomorrow, but it seems unnecessary now.
"Humph!" Xiao Tiannan’s expression suddenly darkened: "Yuan Yuan dares to mention my son! Palace Master Qin, I want to see how you handle today’s ’matter!’
Settling scores? For what reason? Qin Wuyou showed an angry expression as well: "Yuanou Small Sect stormed our New Moon Palace without cause tonight; destroyed our palace gates, and even claimed he would flatten my palace grounds! Whatever you say, Master Xiao should provide us with an explanation!"
Xiao Tiannan laughed loudly and spoke sternly: "A month ago, I heard Palace Commander hails from Blue Wind Imperial City, housed with honor. Your nature seemed kind and honest. But now, you appear to make irresponsible remarks in confusion. Your palace disciples cruelly wounded my son Xiao Luocheng, thoroughly severed his meridian and deep veins, leaving him incapacitated for life! Even if Yun Che were chopped into a thousand mincemeat pies, this hatred would not vanish!"
Qin Wuyou’s expression changed slightly before he spoke confusedly: "When this occurred, I was present and witnessed it clearly." Is this said to be the reason for Master Xiao’s anger? Haha, then I truly do not understand. Before my palace disciple Yun Che and your son Xiao Luocheng began their fight, they entered into an agreement. Regardless of carelessness or serious injury, neither party would blame the other. Hundreds in attendance can testify to this agreement. Everyone saw it with their own eyes, heard it with their ears! Including the person behind you; he knows this very well!"
Since there was a prior agreement, what is your visit and condemnation about? Is it said that your respectable millennial history Small Sect actually has such a bold habit of breaking promises? Are you worried about suggesting the major sect should receive criticism and disdain?
Every word in Qin Wuyou’s speech was expressed clearly, accurately.
Xiao Tiannan furrowed his brow deeply, turned and said quietly: "Oh dear, what’s going on?"
Xiao Zaihe lowered his head and said nervously: "Before the Young Master fought Yin Che, they indeed agreed to this treaty, and even specifically asked everyone present to witness. But – but –
Xiao Tiannan waved abruptly, suddenly laughed loudly: "Ah hahahaha! What a joke! What an enormous joke! The hatred for my son’s cripple; how can it be absolved by such an absurd agreement? Even if I, Xiao Tiannan, have to contemptuously bear an undesired name for the rest of my life, I will still surely avenge Luocheng! Qin Wuyou, hand over Yun Che immediately! Don’t make me come in and seize him myself! At that time, I fear your entire New Moon Abyss Palace will experience a panic so severe that not even chickens or dogs will be spared!"
"Even dignified Master Xiao Xiao has lost face, what more can I say." As Qin Wuyou’s voice faded, his entire robe fluttered without wind and rose high: "If you want to take away a disciple from my Deep Palace, you’ll have to come through me!"
In the past century, the New Moon Palace has been tightly suppressed by seven major sects. All previous palace leaders were cautious to avoid offending the sect when meeting. But the newly appointed Palace Chief Qin Wuyou not only showed no weakness, even when confronted with a serious dispute. This truly startled Xiao Tiannan, yet he laughed: "Ah hahahaha! Palace Master Qin indeed has keen integrity. For a disciple who recently joined the High Profound Palace, he actually ignored the safety of the entire New Moon High Profound Palace.
"Ah hah, even if he only joined my Abyss Palace for a day, he is still my palace disciple! If I can’t protect my own disciple, how can I have the face to call myself this Abyss Palace’s chief?’ Qin Wuyou spoke sternly.
I actually want to see how powerful you can be in protecting your disciple!’
Xiao Tiannan’s robe also billowed fiercely. A massive energy field suddenly exploded, immediately leveling the ground beneath his feet. Enormous and profound energy spread like a net covering the sky, encircling Qin Wuyou and several elders behind him. Qin Wuyou shouted lowly, pushing his right palm horizontally right, clashing with Xiao Tiannan’s formidable energy within the space between them.
With a loud bang, dust flew. A terrifying crater seven or eight meters deep formed between Xiao Tiannan and Qin Wuyou.
The emotions of the Deputy Palace Master and every elder were exceedingly complex. The arrival of the small sect was anticipated, but seeing Qin Wuyou start fighting the Small Sect’s leader now filled their hearts with fear. Indeed, Yun Che allowed the New Moon Abyss Emperor to bathe in glory today. It can be said today is the highest day in the history of New Moon Abyss Palace. His extraordinary talent displayed in the New Moon Origin Palace is a rarity of this century. But, the fact that he crippled Xiao Luocheng is indeed catastrophic trouble! If the New Moon Origin Palace wants to protect him, then they must become enemies with the Small Sect; is it really worth it?
Because such an operation could result in the entire New Moon Abyss Palace suffering great disaster!
Seeing Qin Wuyou truly wanting to protect Yun Che, they were uncertain whether to feel fulfilled or apprehensive.
In the punch exchange between two powerful figures, one move is enough to gauge the opponent’s depth. For the first time, Xiao Tiannan’s face showed an expression of fear. Because from the start of that round, he shockingly realized Qin Wuyou’s strength was actually not inferior to his! Along the way, Xiao Zaihe told him Qin Wuyou might surpass the Earth Abyss Kingdom’s Fifth Level. Initially, he didn’t believe it. But now, he had no choice but to believe it.
Xiao Tiannan did not continue his offensive, speaking in a sombre voice: "In the latter among Earth Abyss Domain practitioners, you are indeed a powerful practitioner worthy of being a Sect Master anywhere on this continent. But you actually came to this New Moon Origin Palace to serve as an inconspicuous palace leader."
No matter where I am or the position I hold; as long as a member of the Royal Family, Qin will feel deeply honored, without complaint. Since I am now the palace leader of this New Moon Palace, Qin will naturally diligently fulfill my duties. Protecting disciples is the most basic responsibility!" Qin Wuyou solemnly replied, "Master Xiao, please leave. I can pretend nothing happened today. Otherwise, not only will you fulfill your wishes, but you will tarnish the Small Sect’s name! As for the agreement between your son and Yun Che, there are hundreds of witnesses!
Xiao Tiannan’s expression sank once again. After experiencing Qin Wuyou’s strength, he knew it impossible to act as he wished tonight. He rushed and brought about a hundred ordinary disciples. He thought, if he personally arrived, it wouldn’t be possible for a simple New Moon Origin palace leader to obediently hand over the disciple. Unexpectedly, this newly appointed palace leader was completely different from predecessors. Facing his Xiao Sect, he showed no fear, even his formidable strength was no less than his own.
Xiao Tiannan coldly laughed: "I, Xiao Tiannan, can avenge my son without fearing disgrace! Tonight, accompanied by Palace Master Qin, I’m indeed helpless. But tomorrow... you should see if I dare to flatten your New Moon Abyss Palace!"
Qin Tianyou coldly snorted: "Yuanou, what nerve! This New Moon Palace established by the Royal Family, are you rebelling?" As these words left Xiao Tiannan’s mouth, Qin Wuyou’s expression, calm as water, suddenly underwent immense change. The elders and disciples behind him showed extreme shock and fear. In the distance, Lan Xueruo’s gentle body leaned against a corner, displaying the same terrified expression on her face.
Weakening the Small Sect’s young master and weakening the main sect master of the Small Sect are two completely different concepts!
