Li Zhongyuan also stood up, "Young Master Chu has overemphasized, it indeed was a misunderstanding."
At that mont, an elder sitting there spoke in a sowhat sarcastic tone, "What misunderstanding? It's rely relying on the blessings of your ancestors. If you want to thank soone, thank your fortunate ancestors. Otherwise, given your actions today, you wouldn't be able to step out of Illusion Sect!"
Chu Mo's eyebrows raised slightly, but he did not speak, turning his gaze toward Li Zhongyuan.
The faces of the others present also turned sowhat sour. Especially the Demon Lord, who could barely hold back from speaking out, having already endured much.
Li Zhongyuan furrowed his brow, looked at the elder who spoke, and said gravely, "Elder Qiu, your words are sowhat excessive!"
"Excessive? What have I said that's excessive?" Elder Qiu also stood up, showing no intention of backing down as he t Li Zhongyuan's gaze and said, "First, he injured one of our core disciples. Then, he nearly killed my personally taught disciple and even had the audacity to destroy the entrance of Illusion Sect that has been passed down for millions of years! Am I being excessive by rely speaking a few words to him?"
Qin Shi calmly said from the side, "Your core disciple was injured because he provoked first and made the first move; your disciple nearly got killed because he was the one who attacked first. If his skills were inferior and he nearly got killed, it only shows that he's not strong enough. Should your people be allowed to strike others yet forbid retaliation?Regarding the destruction of your mountain gate, why don't you ntion that our practice ground was destroyed as well? Isn't Illusion Sect supposed to be the most rational? How co you, Elder Qiu, aren't being very rational?"
"You insolent girl, who gave you the right to speak?" Elder Qiu erupted, glaring furiously at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi spoke indifferently, "I'm not using my status to overpower you, so don't try to intimidate with your age. I once attained the summit of the Ascendant Phase in my cultivation, no less than you. If you disagree, we can settle this with a fight right now. If you kill , I will have no complaints, but if you die by my hand, it is your fate!"
Qin Shi said these words, looking calmly at Elder Qiu, "Do you dare?"
"You..." Elder Qiu was utterly enraged and scoffed repeatedly, "Little girl, are you serious?"
Anyone could see the fluctuations around Qin Shi, who had just entered the Spirit Refining Phase. To challenge an Ascension Phase cultivator while being in the Spirit Refining Phase, many high-ranking mbers of Illusion Sect thought this Qin family princess was insane.
Even if you are from the Heavenly Realm, even if you are backed by a powerful dharma instrunt, your cultivation level is, after all, only in the Spirit Refining Phase. Even Chu Mo... during his Spirit Refining Phase, probably wouldn't dare provoke an Ascension Phase master like this, right?
Li Zhongyuan quickly added, "There's no need for harsh words, let's not ruin the harmony here, we are not outsiders!"
"Sect Leader! Today, this old man will act old and sell old one last ti!" Elder Qiu angrily declared, "I need to teach this little girl how to behave!"
"How she behaves is not your concern. Old thing, do you dare fight ? If you can't defeat within three moves, you may do as you wish!" Chu Mo suddenly stood up, his eyes coldly fixed on Elder Qiu, "Within three moves, if you die by my hands, you have no right to complain! Bullying a young girl who just entered the Spirit Refining Phase, do you still have any sha? So, do you dare fight ?"
Chu Mo had originally co looking for trouble, having not anticipated Illusion Sect's profound connection with his family. Thus, Chu Mo had no choice but to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart. Even that previous statent about it being a misunderstanding... was spoken while suppressing rage. Little did he expect this Elder Qiu to dare stir up trouble, utterly reckless.
Elder Qiu's face turned red with fury, retorting sharply, "You little beast, who do you think you are? Defeat in three moves? I, your grandpa, am not afraid of threats..."
"Shut up!" Li Zhongyuan, now completely furious, glared at Elder Qiu, "What are you trying to do?"
Chu Mo's eyes shimred with a cold murderous intent, looking at Elder Qiu, "Old dog, you think you can act as my grandfather?"
Li Zhongyuan's face instantly shifted colors, repeatedly saying, "Young Master Chu, Elder Qiu does not understand the situation, please do not take him seriously!"
"I will take him seriously!" Elder Qiu, too, was a man of high status and extrely proud, normally superior and detached. More importantly, he had a strong background in the Heavenly Realm. Even as Li Zhongyuan was the leader of the entire Illusion Sect, Elder Qiu was hardly intimidated by him.
Elder Qiu stepped forward, staring coldly at Chu Mo. "Little beast, co out. Today, your Elder Qiu will properly teach you young whelps the ways of the world!"
After that, several elders from the Illusion Sect who were friendly with Elder Qiu ca over, hoping to soothe his emotions.
Elder Qiu grew even more furious, pointing at them and shouting, "If you consider a friend, don't try to persuade at this ti! I must teach them a lesson today! What are they anyway? Suppressing the Immortal Realm, invincible youth... it's all a joke! When I was their age, I was low-key, modest, and polite..."
Li Zhongyuan stood by, his face looking extrely grim. Elder Qiu had always been boisterous and did not take him very seriously. He didn't mind too much, as they were from the sa sect, and Elder Qiu was a senior. He had always respected him. Who could have imagined that today he would beco so muddled?
Everyone present could see that Chu Mo had an extraordinary background. They knew that it wasn't just physical strength that could make a powerhouse like the Illusion Sect bow their heads!
Moreover, he had already hinted in his speech that Chu Mo was the descendant of a great man. Wasn't that clear enough?
Any sensible person, upon thinking carefully, would understand what level a person referred to as a great man might be? The Heavenly Realm has produced many supres, but which amongst them could be called a great man?
No matter how angry Li Zhongyuan was, Elder Qiu seed determined to teach Chu Mo and Qin Shi a lesson. In fact, everyone could see that he was mainly targeting Chu Mo! Though it seed he also wanted to educate Qin Shi, the mont Chu Mo spoke up, he directed his anger at him.
Demon Lord's eyes were cold as he watched Elder Qiu, wishing he could strike him down there and then if not for the matter of status!
Die and Dong Yu also looked furious.
At this mont, Qin Shi suddenly said softly, "Young Master, don't make a move. Let do it!"
Chu Mo frowned slightly, looking worriedly at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Young Master. I haven't lived enough yet. Having the fortune to follow you, I haven't seen all the sights of the world. Why would I be so reckless?"
Elder Qiu scoffed, "The two of you, none can escape!"
This further confird his intention to target Chu Mo.
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, gazed at Elder Qiu for a few seconds, then nodded, "Alright, Qin Shi, you go first."
From Qin Shi's gaze, Chu Mo saw her strong confidence. He knew that unlike Dong Yu, she wasn't impulsive. Since she dared to say so, she was surely confident.
Li Zhongyuan now realized that this matter had sowhat spiraled out of his control. Even if he wanted to stop it, there was no stopping it anymore.
The loss to his reputation was great, but regardless, this battle... seed inevitable.
He nodded and said, "Then let's move to the combat arena and hope everyone limits their actions to necessary moves."
This statent, whether heard by Elder Qiu or Qin Shi, was disregarded by both. Limit their actions? At this stage, likely the mont they clash, it would be a fight to the death!
