737: Chapter 737: Coming to Apologize!
In the great hall of Liangqiang Peak.
“Protector Tian, you look quite troubled, what brings you here?” a handso young man with an air of authority spoke indifferently.
“Junior Peak Master, it seems that Wushen Peak might be planning to make a move against us!” Tian Zheng imdiately said with a grave expression.
“Hmm?” The youth’s eyebrows rose slightly, and his expression changed subtly.
“Protector Tian, what do you an by this?
Do not speak in jest!”
In fact, the internal faction splits within the Witchcraft Sect were an open secret among its mbers, as these divisions had not ford overnight.
It was just that nobody had explicitly acknowledged this fact, and quietly, many disciples of the Witchcraft Sect had discussed it in hushed tones.
However, these shifts among the higher ranks did not greatly affect those below; no matter who took over the leadership of the Witchcraft Sect, life for the common folk would continue as usual.
So, everyone quietly treated it as re gossip, discussing it only in whispers.
Tian Zheng took a deep breath.
He would not dare speak carelessly about such a serious matter.
“Back to Junior Peak Master, although I can’t be one hundred percent certain, this still is a signal!” Tian Zheng spoke earnestly and relayed the details.
“Junior Peak Master, the Saintess’s actions today were truly unusual.
Not only did she bring strangers into our sect after being out for such a long ti, but she also allowed outsiders to act against our own people!
Her motives are inscrutable.
Could she be hinting at sothing?” Tian Zheng shared his interpretation and perspective.
Upon hearing this, the youth’s heart skipped a beat, and he took a cold breath, “Are they sounding the alarm to scare the tiger?”
He couldn’t help but worry, as Liangqiang Peak aligned with the Zhu Rong Lineage, which would naturally reap great benefits within the Witchcraft Sect should their side succeed.
But if they failed, it would undoubtedly lead to ruin.
After contemplating for a mont, he muttered, “We can’t take this lightly.
If it’s true, the situation could be dire!”
“Junior Peak Master, should we consult the Peak Master or notify Zhu Rong Peak?” Tian Zheng quickly suggested.
The youth shook his head slightly, “There’s no rush for now.
However, if the Saintess truly invited reinforcents, it’s highly unlikely there would only be the two of them, right?
Moreover, in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, our Witchcraft Sect and the Eight Major Sects are like fire and water.
Where could she have found reinforcents?”
“Well…
according to reports from our people below, it seems they aren’t from any of the Eight Major Sects…” Tian Zheng hesitated.
At this, the youth stood up abruptly, murmuring in astonishnt, “Could it be…
from outside?”
Tian Zheng, who stood below him, was equally startled, “Could it be that the Wushen Peak lineage has left so forces outside?”
The youth fell silent, his expression discernible yet indistinct, thoroughly pondering the implications.
If that were the case, they could be in trouble.
Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman entered from outside the hall and gave a slight curtsy upon seeing the youth.
“Tian He, the Saintess brought outsiders into the sect and brazenly let them attack our people from Liangqiang Peak, in violation of our rules.
Are we to just swallow this affront in silence?” the woman’s voice was marked by a cool detachnt.
“Shu Jin, you know about it too?” the youth said, his face softening upon seeing the woman.
“I’ve seen the Young Madam!” Protector Tian, taken aback, quickly bowed in greeting.
Shu Jin was the youngest daughter of the Nine Yin Peak’s Peak Master, and she had only recently married Lu Tianhe, with Nine Yin Peak also being a part of the Zhu Rong Lineage.
The woman glanced casually at Tian Zheng, nodding, “Your wife has already sought out.”
Tian Zheng, upon hearing this, instinctively felt a surge of surprise, not expecting his wife to have approached the Young Madam with their troubles.
“I apologize, Young Madam, my wife has caused you trouble.
I will make sure to teach her a lesson when I return!” Tian Zheng hastily offered his apologies.
He, relying on his status as a protector, could barely stand in front of the Junior Peak Master and say a few words, but he painstakingly deliberated over his choice of words!
But that woman, banking on his status as a protector and possessing so favor in the eyes of the Junior Peak Master, went to bother the Young Madam, which was sowhat unwise!
“This woman really has long hair, but short on sense!” Tian Zheng sighed in his heart and muttered to himself.
“No harm, this matter shouldn’t be underestimated.
There must be so special reason for the Saintess to suddenly take such abnormal actions!” Shu Jin’s face showed a asure of gravity.
“I was just about to go investigate at Wushen Peak; we might as well go together!” The young man imdiately approached the woman and said.
“I had the sa intention!” Shu Jin nodded slightly.
Imdiately, the three of them left the great hall, and Tian Zheng looked up to see a beautiful woman waiting at the entrance to the hall, who was indeed his wife.
Chu Xiuting, orphaned from a young age, had always depended on her brother.
Suddenly learning of the tragic news, she was thrown into panic and could not contain her anger.
Unable to find Tian Zheng, she heard that he had gone to the council hall, guessing he went to look for the Junior Peak Master.
After thinking for a mont, she imdiately turned around to seek out the Young Madam to voice her grievances.
Yet, this woman also had so wits about her.
She raised the issue of Chu Ling being injured to a more serious level.
The gist was about the sa as what Tian Zheng expressed to the Junior Peak Master.
Otherwise, a simple complaint might not achieve much, and it might even displease the Young Madam.
“Let’s go together!” Shu Jin spoke indifferently to Chu Xiuting.
Thereupon, the four of them hurriedly headed in the direction of Wushen Peak.
…
At this mont, Lan Zihan was taking Ling Fan and another around Wushen Peak for a tour, which certainly attracted the attention of many disciples of Wushen Peak.
Feng Xiaobai, an adult with a child’s heart, upon hearing that he had been granted an official position, imdiately pestered Lan Zihan about the importance of this position.
This left Lan Zihan sowhat between laughter and tears, and after so explaining, Feng Xiaobai, although still sowhat baffled but impressed, basically understood that it was really aweso and most people need not even be considered!
Before entering the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Guest Official Protectors of the Witchcraft Sect were not to be trifled with.
Their authority was so trendous that saying ‘second only to on, influential over ten thousand others’ was no exaggeration at all.
It was akin to being a palace guard with a sword, answering only to the Witchcraft Sect Leader.
In the heyday of the Witchcraft Sect, with disciples by the tens of thousands and the Ancestral Witches of the Twelve Lineages, which are now the Twelve Peaks, all were at the command of the main lineage, the lineage of the Wushen Chiyou.
Therefore, every leader of the Witchcraft Sect was extraordinarily talented, for without such abilities, one simply couldn’t lead such an imnse congregation and powerful Twelve Lineages!
“Ling Fan, I will arrange rooms for the two of you later so you can rest.
I need to see when my father will be able to co out of seclusion,” Lan Zihan said in front of the great hall, instructing Ling Fan.
“Miss, the Junior Peak Master of Liangqiang Peak has arrived!” Duan Wuqing hurried over and quickly reported.
As soon as the words fell, a group of four could be seen approaching from a distance.
“Saintess, I’ve heard that so reckless subordinates of my Liangqiang Peak have offended the Saintess.
I’ve specifically brought people over to ask for forgiveness!” An insincere voice carried over from afar.
On hearing this, Lan Zihan turned sharply, her expression turning cold.
“Hmph, asking for forgiveness?” Lan Zihan sneered internally, not believing them for a mont.
While she was speaking, the Junior Peak Master of Liangqiang Peak and his entourage of four approached.
“Hmph, Lu Tianhe, it’s good that you feel remorse.
Keep your subordinates in line, and let’s leave it at that for now.
I have other matters to attend to.
You may leave,” Lan Zihan said coldly, with an icy deanor.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhe’s eyes narrowed, and he snorted internally, “Calling you fat and you huff at , do you really think I ca here to ask for forgiveness?”
His gaze then swept over Ling Fan and Feng Xiaobai, and he couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart.
Judging by their attire, they were definitely not from the Eight Major Sects, most likely they were outsiders!
“Lu dares to ask, for what reason did the n of my Liangqiang Peak offend the Saintess, to warrant such severe punishnt?” Lu Tianhe took a deep breath and followed up with a calm inquiry.
