The villagers were worried, but the elder disciple who hit didn’t seem concerned at all.
Because he was confident in his control of his strength, knowing that no one would die from being hit like this.
"You and your master are both shaless. Your master can’t beat , so you sneak attack. Have so martial virtue?" The elder disciple sneered sarcastically.
By this ti, Dao Hong had already gotten up from the ground.
His face was livid, and he was seething with rage.
He ca over to make trouble, thinking he could regain his dignity.
But unexpectedly, not only did he not regain it, but also lost face terribly.
If he couldn’t vent this anger, how could he stand in the future?
But now he couldn’t win a fight, and it seed like he wasn’t in the right to argue, so what else could he do?
Despite being furious, Dao Hong’s mind raced, pondering over this problem.
After much thought, he could only think of one solution: call for reinforcents!
As a local Taoist, could he really let others bully him?
"You two are really ruthless. Since it’s like this, don’t bla for using my influence." Dao Hong directly pulled out his phone, ready to call for backup.
Seeing Dao Hong still being stubborn, the elder disciple wanted to co over and hit him a couple more tis.
But the elder stopped him with a gesture.
"Using influence, are you planning to call your master, Hong Yang?" The elder stopped the disciple while stepping forward and loudly said to Dao Hong.
Upon hearing this, Dao Hong trembled slightly, looking at the elder incredulously, "You... how do you know my master’s Taoist na is Hong Yang?"
"Heh, you could just ask your master why I know,"
The elder didn’t say directly, leaving so suspense.
Seeing the elder’s mysterious deanor, Dao Hong’s heart was once again a drumbeat.
He felt like he’d encountered a formidable person today and considered giving up to avoid further embarrassnt.
But if he gave up, how could he continue to operate in this area? Who would still co to him for rituals?
After so serious thought, he ultimately dialed the phone, deciding to continue calling for reinforcents.
The elder just watched with a smile from the side.
After Dao Hong finished his call, he laughed and said, "Well, does your master know who I am?"
Dao Hong, with a livid face, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn’t ntion you to my master at all. Just you wait, my master also follows the rules of our path. Your actions of not abiding by the rules and hurting people, even if you have connections, my master will seek justice for !"
Hearing this, the elder shook his head with a wry smile, seeming to be regretful for Dao Hong.
The scene remained quiet for ten to twenty minutes until the sudden sounds of vehicles broke the silence.
Five or six vans suddenly drove into Liuhe Village, heading straight for the village entrance.
Seeing the convoy arrive, Dao Hong was ecstatic!
The people he called had arrived!
The convoy quickly reached the village entrance.
After stopping, two to three dozen Taoists imdiately got out of the vehicles.
Leading them was an elderly Taoist who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies.
Although advanced in age, he walked with a powerful stride, exuding a very good ntal state.
"Master! Finally, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you anxiously."
Upon seeing the old Taoist, Dao Hong imdiately approached, speaking as if recounting his grievances.
The old Taoist had a serious expression. After getting out of the vehicle, he didn’t say much to Dao Hong but directly asked, "Who is causing trouble on the territory of our Qingfeng Temple?"
Seeing this, Dao Hong dared not say much, imdiately pointing at the elder’s disciple.
"It’s him. Not only does he not follow the rules of the martial world, but he also attacked people! He hit my disciple and ." With backing, Dao Hong was more confident, pointing at the elder disciple and saying loudly.
The old Taoist glanced in the direction Dao Hong pointed and swiftly led a group of Taoists towards them.
"Which temple are you from, not following the rules? Didn’t your abbot teach you about following rules?" The old Taoist overpowered with arrogance, questioning the elder’s disciple in a condescending manner.
The elder’s disciple saw this and was about to argue.
But at that mont, the elder spoke first.
"Heh, Hong Yang, you’re quite arrogant, entering with such force. You haven’t inherited any of your master’s immaculateness." The elder stepped out from beside Chen Yang, speaking with a sowhat cold tone.
Upon hearing the voice, Hong Yang quickly looked towards the elder.
One mont, he was full of montum, but the next, upon seeing the elder, his aura deflated instantly as if he had lost all confidence.
"Master De Rui..."
The Taoist nad Hong Yang looked at the elder, utterly stunned.
The elder smiled as he walked forward.
"Heh, you still recognize , that’s rare."
Hong Yang’s attitude quickly beca more respectful, "Master De Rui, how could I not recognize you? The teachings from you and my master to this junior are still vivid in my mind!"
Saying this, Hong Yang bowed to the elder.
His attitude was exactly how a junior should greet a senior.
This attitude shocked everyone present.
Even more so for Dao Hong!
He originally thought his master had a peer relationship with the elder, but he didn’t expect it to be more of a ntor-student relationship...
And judging by the level of respect, this wasn’t just an ordinary senior.
Dao Hong felt as though he was struck by lightning, standing dumbfounded, already regretting his actions today.
"The teachings are vivid in your mind? If they truly are, how could today’s events have occurred? Can you explain this to ?" The elder’s eyes glinted sharply as he fixed his gaze on Hong Yang.
The suppressive force of seniority instantly enveloped Hong Yang.
Despite his age, Hong Yang’s forehead began to sweat.
Knowing the elder, he was naturally aware of his significance, soone not to be offended.
"Master De Rui, I’m not fully aware of what happened here. Could you give so ti to understand the situation before I give you a response?" Hong Yang said with a very polite attitude.
The elder gave a light snort without speaking, tacitly agreeing.
It was then that Hong Yang’s cold gaze fell upon Dao Hong, who was terrified beyond belief from earlier.
"What exactly happened, explain to in detail. If you dare speak nonsense, I will expel you from the sect today." Hong Yang furrowed his brow, staring intently at Dao Hong.
Dao Hong had intended for his master to co and support him, but unexpectedly, he was just shooting himself in the foot, which was too tragic.
"Mas... Master, the thing is, this village was initially a place for to perform rituals..." Although afraid, Dao Hong had no choice but to tell the truth given Hong Yang’s questioning.
Of course, in recounting the actual situation, he couldn’t help but embellish his actions sowhat.
Attempting to portray the entire situation as a misunderstanding, so that everyone could save face.
But after listening to Dao Hong, before the elder could speak, Dai Annie beside Chen Yang couldn’t stand it.
She directly spoke.
"Why are you making light of it now? When you brought your disciple over to make trouble, trying to bully the master with your youth, your words were quite harsh. And weren’t you repeatedly calling the master a ’wild monk’? Why aren’t you ntioning that now?"
