The elder, worried about Xie Zhou, hurried over to Xie Zhou's side. A large patch of blood was conspicuously visible, and seeing her covered in blood made him very nervous, fearing that she had suffered a very serious injury. After all, breaking out of the monster horde was quite difficult, and being alone, she was bound to suffer some harm.
"Miss Xie, how are you? Are you injured? You're covered in blood. Quickly sit down and rest. You don't need to continue exploring the Monster Mountain Range with us elders. You're injured for now, so it's best to leave here and rest first!"
"Go back to the Sword Sect. Otherwise, if the clan sees us elders and says we didn't protect you, we'll be severely reprimanded by the Sword Sect."
Moreover, this time he wouldn't listen to anything they said. Looking at the four elders of the Fire Spirit Sect, his eyes were full of anger. If it weren't for them, he would have been trapped in that horde of demonic beasts.
Xie Zhou still thought that he was just out of his element and the monsters took advantage of him. These elders really didn't seem like gentlemen. They attacked him. Did they know what the consequences would be?
Xie Zhou didn't speak to the elders of the Sword Sect at all, and walked straight toward the four elders of the Fire Spirit Sect. She walked toward the four elders step by step.
The elders of the Fire Spirit Sect felt a slight panic upon seeing the extremely sharp aura emanating from this person, but then they thought again, and since they hadn't seen them do anything, they arrogantly took a few more steps forward.
Xie Zhou's footsteps made a crisp sound on the ground. The Sword Sect elders behind him, who were somewhat stunned, knew what was going on. They didn't step forward to stop her, but silently lowered their heads and sighed. This girl was also a proud and arrogant person. These elders were really something, why did they provoke her for no reason?
However, Elder Shattered Star thought this was a good thing. After all, they were in the wrong first. He believed in himself and believed that seeing was believing. He clearly saw the four elders doing some strange things in a sneaky way before Xie Zhou was trapped in the monster horde. So he was sure that they were the ones who did it.
They had already reaped the consequences of their selfishness, so Elder Suixing didn't intend to stop them. However, the elders of the Sand Sea Sect, seeing that he was full of hostility and was walking towards them, knew that something bad was bound to happen, so they wanted to stop him, but Elder Suixing stopped them.
Elder Shattered Star glared at him fiercely and said, "The affairs of our two sects should have nothing to do with you. Let her do what she wants. At worst, our Sword Sect will cover for her. After all, it's obvious to everyone that the people from the Fire Spirit Sect have long been dissatisfied with our Sword Sect. They often fight each other. We've turned a blind eye to the minor squabbles, but we must get an explanation for what happened today!"
The elder of the Sand Sea Sect wanted to dissuade Elder Suixing, but seeing his cold and indifferent expression, it seemed that he did not intend to let him step forward to stop it. So he had no choice but to use some words to persuade him: "We are a famous sect in this martial arts world. We have always been branches of the same sect and are all like-minded people. Why fight and kill each other? What kind of behavior is this!"
"If Miss Xie acts impulsively, rumors will spread, which would damage the harmony among everyone."
"What's the point of us trying to maintain harmony? It's really annoying to keep bottling up your anger and not be able to vent it. If we've broken up, so be it. What's it to you? Get out of here, you peacemaker!"
Elder Shattered Star pushed Elder Huangsha Sect aside.
Xie Zhou charged directly at the four elders. The blade of her peerless sword was pressed directly against the forehead of one of the elders. The elder felt a gust of wind and a sharp blade appeared in front of him, so frightened that he dared not move.
Xie Zhou, on the other hand, remained cold and fixed on them, like a hunter who had found his prey.
The elder then stepped back, while the other elder simply stepped forward, pushed the sword to the side, and said with a smile, "I wonder what brings you here, young lady? Do you seem to have some kind of grudge against us? It's not good to have such a murderous aura on a young lady!"
However, Xie Zhou did not reply. In an instant, he slashed the man's arm with his sword. The man winced in pain and stepped back, while the others stepped forward to help him.
One of them immediately started yelling at Xie Zhou, "Miss, what do you mean? Have we offended you? Why is this happening? You are a disciple of the Sword Sect, and you injured someone from my Fire Spirit Sect. Although you don't deserve to die, you should still be punished. I wonder what suggestions the Sword Sect has?"
The injured elder smiled and said, "I'm afraid I've misunderstood something. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Please don't blame me, Sword Sect people."
Are the two elders, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, putting on a double act in front of me?
Xie Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, and then he quickly moved and punched one of the elders in front of him. Seeing that he was unable to persuade him, the four elders of the Fire Spirit Sect nodded to each other and quickly separated, standing in the four corners of Xie Zhou.
The four elders worked in perfect unison, their fingers flying across the paper, and several beams of light shot from their palms, hovering beside Xie Zhou. They intended to use a combined attack formation to deal with her, but Xie Zhou remained completely unfazed.
She would repay any kindness shown to her with the utmost gratitude, but Xie Zhou would dismantle any baseless schemes he might employ. If he were to repay evil with kindness, she would repay him a hundredfold or even tenfold.
Soon, the formation was about to form beneath Xie Zhou's feet, but Xie Zhou immediately released his life sword intent.
