165: Chapter 163 Visitors from the Shen Family_1 165: Chapter 163 Visitors from the Shen Family_1 In the midst of shocked onlookers, a man donned in a black robe, wearing a black ghastly mask, with all-white hair, and a staggering presence, arrived in the courtyard escorted by four extraordinarily imposing middle-aged n.
Standing atop a mound of dirt outside the wall, Su Ming and Mu Nanqing were also frozen in place.
Su Ming’s face was filled with terror as he said, “The…
The Great Elder has arrived, this ti Big Brother is likely in more bad luck than good!”
With his eyes intently focused on the man wearing the mask, Lu Chuan was overwheld with a strong sense of imminent crisis.
Although uncertain of the man’s strength, Lu Chuan was convinced that he would not last a single move against this individual before falling in defeat.
At the sa ti, a raging desire for revenge surged within him, because it was this very person who had ordered Long Tianya to kill his mother, or to put it precisely, this man was the true murderer of his mother.
Although he desperately wanted to confront the Great Elder, asking him why he killed his mother and what his relationship was with the Lu family, reason told him that to do so would be akin to courting death.
Even if he possessed the Sword Nourishing Gourd, he wouldn’t stand a chance against this individual.
Because the man’s face was hidden behind the mask, onlookers couldn’t see the Great Elder’s face or expressions, but the sheer aura he emitted was enough to impress upon everyone his unfathomable depth and inscrutability.
The Great Elder walked calmly through the courtyard, gazing at the struck-down and charred Transcendent Realm skillful experts without a ripple of emotion.
It wasn’t until he saw Long Hao, lying breathless on the ground, that a flicker of disturbance traveled through the atmosphere of the courtyard.
“A wedding turned into a funeral, among my many disciples, you are the first to bring such disgrace.” A hoarse voice emanated from beneath the mask, betraying no hint of an emotional fluctuation.
The Great Elder turned his head towards Lu Chuan and asked, “Did you do all of this?”
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Lu Chuan’s forehead.
Despite his attempt to move, he was still unable to budge.
He looked at the Great Elder and said with neither servility nor overbearing pride, “Indeed!”
The Great Elder inquired, “Why?”
After a mont’s thought, Lu Chuan replied, “Long Hao took my fiancée and even tried to kill .
I narrowly escaped and, fortunate to co across so opportunities, I’ve co back for revenge!”
He certainly didn’t dare to ntion the matter of Long Tianya killing his mother; if the Great Elder knew he was Luo Yunshang’s son, he might directly act to eliminate a potential threat.
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder asked, “Took your fiancée?
How so?”
Lu Chuan explained, “Chu ngyao and I had an early engagent, but Long Hao, relying on the might of the Long family, coerced Chu ngyao into marrying him.
The Chu family couldn’t afford to offend the Long family and had no choice but to give in.”
“I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong.
Long Hao deserved to die!”
The Great Elder pondered for a mont and then nodded, stating, “Then my disciple truly had it coming.”
Lu Chuan was startled, thinking to himself that this Great Elder was quite reasonable and also believed that Long Hao deserved death.
He thought quickly and promptly said, “The Profound Sect is a sect of honor and righteousness, and you are the Great Elder of the Profound Sect.
I don’t believe you are an unreasonable person.
With so many witnesses here, I was just in killing Long Hao.
I hope you can maintain the dignity befitting of an honorable sect and not interfere with the grudge between and the Long family.”
The Great Elder chuckled and said, “You make a compelling argunt.
My disciple indeed deserved to die; his actions brought sha upon the Profound Sect as well as lost face for .”
Lu Chuan wore a look of astonishnt, as he had only intended to use this tactic to carve out a slim chance of survival for himself.
He hadn’t expected the Great Elder to be so agreeable and to so easily endorse his viewpoint.
“However…”
Lu Chuan’s heart skipped a beat; he knew the Great Elder wouldn’t let the matter rest so easily.
“Long Hao was after all my disciple.
Although I have many, and I happened to pass by his wedding incidentally, I nevertheless shared a master-disciple relationship with him, albeit not a profound one, but a fact nonetheless.
From that standpoint, it would only be right for to avenge him, don’t you think?”
Lu Chuan inhaled a sharp breath of cold air, thinking to himself that this Great Elder was so heartily justified, was he just fabricating a reason to kill him?
Clamping his teeth, he retorted, “If you want to kill , just say it outright, why bother with these lofty and righteous words?
It seems the Profound Sect’s Great Elder is nothing but a sanctimonious hypocrite!”
The Great Elder spoke indifferently, “Say what you will.
I had a master-disciple bond with Long Hao, and since I’m here, it is necessary for to avenge him.
Otherwise, my other disciples might think of as a heartless and cold person in the future.”
Tension imdiately mounted within Lu Chuan.
Those who speak harsh words with the calst tones are the most frightening, and it seed likely that today, he would indeed et his end.
He released his Divine Sense into the Sword Nourishing Gourd, preparing for a desperate struggle.
No matter how powerful the Great Elder was, he certainly wouldn’t be able to ignore the attack of the Sword Nourishing Gourd.
As long as he could gain a mont of ti to break free from the Great Elder’s control, he was sixty percent confident that he could escape from here.
To disturb the Great Elder’s composure, Lu Chuan shouted, “I thought the Profound Sect was so kind of righteous faction, but it turns out it’s nothing more than an oppressive and unorthodox sect.
Where do you get off calling yourselves the number one sect in the world?”
“And you, this damnable Great Elder, you look decent enough, but behind the scenes, you lure innocent young girls from the mountains to practice dual cultivation.
You truly are the most shaless beast under the heavens!”
Originally calm, the Great Elder’s deanour instantly beca unsettled upon hearing Lu Chuan’s latter words, and everyone present could clearly feel that this dignitary of the Profound Sect was angered.
He stood motionless, but his entire aura was now bearing down on Lu Chuan.
