"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Chen. I appreciate it." With a cold snort, Mo Shan flicked his sleeves and led the disciples of Kaishan Sect down the mountain, leaving the territory of Shenxuan Sect.
"Sect Master, are we just going to let them leave like this? If we don't make them give us an explanation or compensate us, won't they just keep bullying us in the future?" Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't stop Mo Shan and the others from leaving, Yuan Xingtian couldn't help but ask.
Several of their disciples were injured, and the injuries were quite serious. If they just let the people from Kaishan Sect leave like that, wouldn't they have suffered this beating for nothing?
Chen Xuan glanced at Yuan Xingtian and said, "What else can we do? Start a war with the Kaishan Sect? The Kaishan Sect has two cultivators at the Breaking Through Stages; they could easily wipe us out in a fight."
Why would he want to suffer this in silence?
But the strength of the Kaishan Sect is undeniable, and even if Mo Shan and the others are unreasonable, Chen Xuan can't do anything to them.
Moreover, he could tell that the Kaishan Sect had deliberately come to cause trouble this time in order to provoke him into making a move. Once Chen Xuan made a move, Mo Shan and the others would have a legitimate reason to fight openly.
Two cultivators at the Breaking Boundary stage from the Kai Shan Sect could easily defeat Chen Xuan, but their eventual fate would certainly be grim.
That's why Chen Xuan made such concessions, and he had no choice but to.
"Don't worry, this is only temporary. Our Divine Profound Sect will remember this grudge, and we will definitely seek justice from their Opening Mountain Sect when we have the chance in the future." Seeing the disappointment on the faces of Yuan Xingtian and the other disciples, Chen Xuan sighed and comforted them.
"During this period, you should be careful when you go out. It's best not to leave the sect unless necessary. Also, the number of people shoveling snow each day will be increased from four to eight. If the people from the Kaishan Sect cause trouble again, remember to notify me immediately."
"yes."
Yuan Xingtian could only dejectedly agree.
They were well aware that without strength, they would only be bullied. If Chen Xuan hadn't been there for the Divine Profound Sect, Mo Shan and his group wouldn't have come here today to simply "demand an explanation," but would have been wiped out!
This world is so cruel.
Although the sun god once saved them from darkness and overthrew the rule of the divine beast race, this did not mean that the continent was now at peace.
Only now have humans slowly realized that without the threat of the divine beasts, they themselves have become their own enemies, with all sorts of fights, treasure hunts, and murders occurring one after another.
On the continent today, humanity is their own threat.
...
Yuan Xingtian and the others helped the two injured disciples back. Their happy mood of drinking meat soup was now completely ruined, and the atmosphere became heavy.
Bai Hao did not immediately return to the sect with them, but stayed at the foot of the mountain gate, gazing silently in the direction where Mo Shan and the others had left.
"Bai Hao, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you going back?" Zhao Lin, who was about to leave, saw him lost in thought and asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao turned to look at Zhao Lin, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I was just looking. Senior Sister, you go back first, I'll be right back."
Looking at him with a puzzled expression, Zhao Lin felt that Bai Hao seemed a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Finally, with no other choice, she gave Bai Hao one last instruction: "Come back as soon as possible," before turning and walking back into the sect.
Bai Hao stood at the foot of the mountain gate, gazing in the direction where Mo Shan and the others had left, remaining silent, before sending a wisp of his consciousness away...
...
In the forest, on the road to the Kaishan Sect, the sect leader, senior brother Lin Shan, supported his younger brother—the man whose arm bone had been broken by Bai Hao's punch—and said angrily:
"Sect Master, they broke Second Brother's arm. Are we just going to let them get away with this?"
"What's the rush? It's not the right time yet. The purpose this time is simply to test Chen Xuan's bottom line. The next time, when we bring the Grand Elder along, that will be the time when their Divine Profound Sect is destroyed," Mo Shan said with a sinister expression.
As Chen Xuan had expected, the Kaishan Sect's purpose was indeed not simple.
Mo Shan and his group were there to test the strength of the Divine Profound Sect so as to better understand the gap between their forces and the enemy.
The next time they take action will be the day the Divine Profound Sect is destroyed.
"It won't be long before we can avenge the second brother's severed arm!"
Just then, a calm voice came from behind.
"I think you may not have this opportunity."
A detached voice came from all directions, as if someone were there everywhere.
“Who is it?!”
Mo Shan frowned and immediately looked around. He saw a young man slowly appear in front of them, hovering in mid-air.
It was Bai Hao's mental clone!
"You are... from the Divine Profound Sect?!"
Upon seeing Bai Hao's face, Mo Shan immediately recognized Bai Hao's identity.
"Sect Master, it was he who broke the second brother's arm!" At this moment, Lin Shan also recognized Bai Hao and immediately pointed at him and shouted loudly.
Bai Hao's calm, expressionless eyes slowly swept over the group of people. His voice remained emotionless as he said, "From what Sect Master Mo said earlier, it seems your Kaishan Sect has quite a few ideas about our Shenxuan Sect."
"So what if we do? What, Chen Xuan isn't coming out, so he sent one of your disciples to follow us?" Mo Shan coldly flicked his sleeve.
At this moment, a murderous intent had risen in his heart.
Since Bai Hao overheard what they were saying, there's no way he'll be allowed to go back alive.
Sensing Mo Shan's killing intent, Bai Hao's lips curled into a contemptuous smile as he said, "What, Sect Master Mo, do you want to kill me?"
"You delivered yourself to my door, so don't blame me for being ruthless." Since he had been seen through, Mo Shan did not deny it, his eyes filled with sharp killing intent.
Seeing this, the other disciples of the Kaishan Sect also formed ranks, ready to attack at any moment.
Seeing that they actually wanted to make a move, Bai Hao suddenly felt both amused and somewhat pathetic.
They actually dared to attack me; they have quite the courage.
"Actually, I don't have any great grudge against you. Our Shenxuan Sect has not provoked you, but you took the initiative to come to our door to cause trouble. Moreover, your intentions are not pure. You are trying to destroy our Shenxuan Sect. Do you think I can let you go under these circumstances?"
Bai Hao's gaze gradually turned cold.
Before this, he had no grudges against the Kaishan Sect and they kept to themselves.
But now, they've come to cause trouble, and Mo Shan is even trying to destroy the Divine Profound Sect. Based on that alone, Bai Hao can't let them go.
"A murderer should be prepared to be killed."
After saying this casually, Bai Hao suddenly moved.
Before Mo Shan and the others could react, everything suddenly went black, and they lost consciousness forever...
