Boom!
Like a pot of boiling water, the previously silent crowd couldn't help but erupt in an uproar upon hearing the middle-aged man's words.
Xu Fan had just slapped the Taoist-robed elder three tis, humiliating the entire Taoist sect by trampling on them! And the middle-aged man's solution was simply to hit back! Simple and crude.
With this single move, the Taoist sect regained all the lost dignity!
Arthur and the others all changed color simultaneously, for they saw the long-term implications in the middle-aged man's words and thus foresaw Xu Fan's fate.
To the Supre Elder, both Xu Fan and the Taoist-robed elder were too insignificant to even be worth his consideration. And that was undoubtedly the worst possible scenario!
It's important to rember that Xu Fan hadn't just slapped the Taoist-robed elder a few tis; he had also humiliated the entire Taoist sect! Now the middle-aged man intended to return Xu Fan's insult with the sa treatnt. How could Xu Fan possibly survive?
Actually, everything had already been predestined. Xu Fan humiliated the Taoist sect, and the best way for the Taoist sect to regain their dignity was to kill Xu Fan!
"Yes! Thank you, Supre Elder!"
The Taoist-robed elder was visibly excited, repeatedly bowing to the middle-aged man, and stared at Xu Fan with an undisguised, sinister smile.
The Taoist-robed elder originally had deep and cunning thoughts. Threatened by Xu Fan and later humiliated by being forced to kneel, he was overwheld by imnse humiliation, which made him sowhat impatient.
Now, the Supre Elder finally wanted to kill Xu Fan, and even wanted the Taoist-robed elder to end Xu Fan's life with his own hands. For the Taoist-robed elder, there was no better gift!
The earlier kneeling of the Taoist-robed elder not only cornered Xu Fan to a dead end but also pushed himself into an abyss!
If Xu Fan weren't killed, he would beco a laughingstock, and even if he safely returned to the Taoist sect, they might execute him for the sake of their reputation.
Only by killing Xu Fan could this deadlock be reversed and changed!
And now, albeit hastily, the Taoist-robed elder was presented with the opportunity to change his destiny personally, by killing Xu Fan!
At this mont, the Taoist-robed elder was full of pride, eyes narrowed with a gloating attitude, flexing his wrists, and walking toward Xu Fan with a sinister grin.
Although the Supre Elder only said that the Taoist-robed elder should return the slaps, the true aning was obviously to use this thod to kill Xu Fan while also restoring the Taoist sect's dignity. How could the Taoist-robed elder not understand the Supre Elder's intentions?
The thought of returning the slaps Xu Fan landed on him in front of everyone made the Taoist-robed elder tremble with excitent, becoming sowhat unable to control himself.
"Xu Fan…"
Seeing this scene, Arthur was anxious inside, his eyes secretly signaling Xu Fan to give in and beg for rcy, but he dared not utter a sound, all the while keeping close watch over Avril to protect her.
Back in Huang Family's great hall, it was Avril who had spoken out in anger for Xu Fan, forcing Arthur to stand by his side.
However, this was not comparable to the Huang Family great hall; the Taoist sect was far beyond the reach of a Huang Family! Even though the Church of Light had a glorious past, it was currently in shambles and needed discretion in all things!
Unexpectedly to Arthur, Avril remained astonishingly calm, which made Arthur sowhat relieved yet more worried about Xu Fan's situation. If Xu Fan were humiliated or killed, Arthur must protect Avril at any cost.
What Arthur didn't know was that Avril's calmness wasn't due to failing to recognize Xu Fan or having a heart of stone; it was because she and others had witnessed Xu Fan's formidable strength in the relic.
It wasn't just Avril; many of the younger ones were excited, fixated on Xu Fan, eager to see what would happen next.
What kind of existence is the Golden Ape? It's catastrophic! Yet Xu Fan was able to heavily injure it! Now, forget about the Taoist-robed elder; even in the face of the Supre Elder, if Xu Fan went all out, it would be uncertain who would win!
The minds of the younger ones were unknown to even the elders beside them, let alone the proud Taoist-robed elder at this mont!
"Boy! On the brink of death! Have you repented for offending and humiliating the Taoist sect?"
"Kneel down and beg now! Apologize to the Taoist sect, and I might beg the Supre Elder to spare your life!"
Why didn't the Supre Elder casually kill this re Vajra Realm ant and instead want the elder to return the slap? Naturally, it was to humiliate Xu Fan!
The Taoist-robed elder fully grasped the Supre Elder's deeper aning, looking down at Xu Fan with a sinister smile and flexing his wrist, clearly indicating that even if Xu Fan submitted and begged for rcy, he wouldn't let Xu Fan live.
anwhile, the middle-aged man, the Supre Elder of the Taoist sect, stood indifferent in the scene. Whether looking at Xu Fan, the Taoist-robed elder, or those around him, his gaze was as if he were watching ants.
Evidently, to the middle-aged man, everything was but a farce among ants.
The Taoist sect had deep foundations and strong individuals in abundance; within the relic lay items of significant importance to the sect, hence a strong presence had been secretly monitoring the situation. The mont the relic's restriction was destroyed, the middle-aged man sensed it.
This was the real reason the middle-aged man ca to the relic; as for the farce between Xu Fan and the Taoist-robed elder, it wasn't even worth his attention.
Yet, the Taoist sect's face was ultimately not sothing an ant could insult!
So, despite a hidden admiration for Xu Fan's courage, the middle-aged man did not change his will. His gaze, shifting from Xu Fan to the depths of the relic, showed signs of worry.
For a being at the level of the middle-aged man, personal will was as good as iron law! Furthermore, he remained standing here.
Therefore, he wasn't worried that a re Vajra Realm junior would cause any significant waves.
However, soon enough, the middle-aged man paid the price for his negligence.
"Boy! This slap is to teach you a lesson! Offending soone you cannot afford to is a dead-end!"
The Taoist-robed elder had already reached Xu Fan's side, raising his hand high to strike Xu Fan's face. He originally intended to verbally humiliate Xu Fan a bit more, but for so reason, looking at Xu Fan's ever-calm face made him uneasy.
The slap from the Taoist-robed elder did not carry any Spiritual Power, relying purely on physical strength, intending to humiliate Xu Fan.
Despite the unsettling feeling, the Taoist-robed elder didn't believe Xu Fan dared to dodge or retaliate in front of the Supre Elder.
And the Taoist-robed elder, too, paid the price for his negligence.
Slap!
The sound of the slap was crisp and pleasant, and the Taoist-robed elder tumbled to the ground.
On the ground, the Taoist-robed elder clutched his tall, red cheek, looking at the calm Xu Fan wiping his hand clean with utter horror in his eyes!
