Seeing Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang arrive, Yun Xuzi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was now counting on the two of them to redeem the Void Sect’s honor and defeat the three disciples from the Wolf Fang Sect.
"Liu Hui, you have experience dealing with those fiends from the Wolf Fang Sect. It’s all up to you now." Ji Lin tried to pat Liu Hui’s shoulder, but he dodged it.
His raised hand froze in mid-air. Ji Lin gave a dry laugh and didn’t seem to mind.
Yun Xuzi quickly chid in with a promise, "That’s right. As long as you can win back face for the Void Sect, you can ask for any reward you want."
Liu Hui shot the two a cool glance and said, "I think you’ve misunderstood sothing. I never said I would fight. What does the Void Sect’s face have to do with ?"
Although they had anticipated that Liu Hui would be unwilling to fight because of what happened to Mo Qi, his words still sent Yun Xuzi into a rage.
’As a disciple of the Void Sect, how can he say the Sect’s face has nothing to do with him!’
"Liu Hui, that’s going too far! No matter what, you are a disciple of the Void Sect. It is your duty to fight for it!" Ji Lin snapped.
Liu Hui glanced at Ji Lin, a scornful smile spreading across his face.
He pointed at the Core Disciples cowering to the side. "Duty? Don’t they have any? The esteed Core Disciples won’t fight, so you want , a forr Outer Sect disciple, to take the stage? Isn’t that ridiculous?"
Ji Lin was speechless, but Liu Hui wasn’t finished.
"At the Earth-level Spiritual Ore, where was your sense of duty, Elder Ji Lin? Did you fight for the Void Sect? You don’t actually believe you were the one who destroyed the array that summoned the Beast Tide, do you? When faced with the relentless pressure from the Wolf Fang Sect’s experts, what did you do besides retreat and concede?"
"I..." Ji Lin faltered, then argued defensively, "I was thinking of the bigger picture! Besides, I was the one who destroyed the array summoning the Beast Tide with a single sword strike. Many people saw it with their own eyes!"
"Heh." Liu Hui sneered. Mo Qi had already told him the truth.
Yun Xuzi, at the side, couldn’t help but say, "Liu Hui, I know you’re upset about what happened to Mo Qi. But you must understand, the Sect is a single body with rules. Mo Qi made a mistake, so he had to be punished. Of course, if he had rits, we would not be stingy with rewards."
Hearing this, Liu Hui laughed.
"Rewards? Yes, I saw how you reward a great hero."
His gaze shifted, landing once again on the Core Disciples.
"And I saw how you treat a bunch of trash."
If Mo Qi hadn’t discovered the Beast Tide in advance and destroyed the Basic Beast-Attracting Array, the group including Ye Lei and Ye Dian would have long since returned to the dust.
If Mo Qi hadn’t killed Zhang Cheng and ruined the Wolf Fang Sect’s plans, all the good things in the Earth-level Spiritual Ore would have been cleaned out long ago.
If Mo Qi hadn’t given him that precious Spirit Marrow, he never would have broken through to the Refining God Ninth Heaven, much less been able to defeat the Wolf Fang Sect disciple after his Human-Beast Unity. The Void Sect wouldn’t have gotten a single hair from the Earth-level Spiritual Ore.
But what was the result? The great hero who had contributed so much in silence received an unjust trial.
Yet these Core Disciples, who didn’t even have the courage to fight, were treated like treasures by Yun Xuzi.
"Liu Hui, what are you trying to say?" Yun Xuzi could tell there was a hidden aning in Liu Hui’s words.
Liu Hui shook his head. He couldn’t be bothered to explain everything; Yun Xuzi and his group wouldn’t believe him anyway.
Because deep down, they had already decided that Mo Qi was nothing but trash.
"Who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to talk about us?" a few of the Core Disciples couldn’t stay seated any longer.
Liu Hui curled his lip, looking down on them. "What are you shouting for? Acting tough with is useless. If you’ve got the guts, go use it on those disciples from the Wolf Fang Sect!"
"You... If you’re so tough, you go!"
Choked speechless by Liu Hui’s retort, the Core Disciples could only throw the taunt back at him.
Liu Hui couldn’t be bothered with these Core Disciples who were fierce at ho but cowards outside, so he simply closed his eyes.
Just then, down in the main hall, Zhang Shao, who had been watching Jin Sanpang the whole ti, spoke up.
"San Pang, aren’t you going to co over to Uncle Zhang?"
In an instant, Zhang Shao’s words captured everyone’s attention.
Liu Hui was no exception.
’Jin Sanpang is connected to the Wolf Fang Sect? And it seems like he knows Zhang Shao well.’
Jin Sanpang kept his head down, his chubby hands tightly clutching the corner of his robes as he mumbled, "I’m not going."
"Zhang Shao, what is your relationship with this disciple of my Void Sect?" Yun Xuzi demanded.
"A disciple of your Void Sect?" Zhang Shao laughed. "Yun Xuzi, for a Sect Leader to be like you... that really takes so goddamn skill. Why don’t you ask him yourself? Ask him for his father’s full na and what he does."
Yun Xuzi’s heart skipped a beat. He suppressed his anger and looked at Jin Sanpang.
Jin Sanpang didn’t hide it, saying in a small voice, "My father is Jin Quan, the Steward Leader of the Wolf Fang Sect."
What?!
Everyone from the Void Sect was dumbfounded. A disciple from the Wolf Fang Sect had actually infiltrated their ranks!
And he was the son of the Wolf Fang Sect’s Steward Leader, no less!
"Mo Qi has gone too far!" Ji Lin said angrily. "To think he would bring a Wolf Fang Sect disciple into our Sect without permission!"
After a mont of shock, Liu Hui quickly composed himself.
’Mo Qi never told Jin Sanpang’s identity, but so what? Anyone Mo Qi accepts is a brother of mine!’
"I am not a disciple of the Wolf Fang Sect!" Jin Sanpang suddenly raised his head, his tone firm.
Back in the Earth-Level Spirit Ore Forest, when he parted ways with Jin Quan, his father had instructed him that whatever Mo Qi’s identity was, his would be the sa. He was to follow Mo Qi in all things.
"What did you say?" Zhang Shao demanded with a frown, his face a mask of disbelief.
"I am not a disciple of the Wolf Fang Sect!" Jin Sanpang repeated, his expression earnest. "Brother Mo is a disciple of the Void Sect, so San Pang is also a disciple of the Void Sect!"
Now, not only was Zhang Shao stunned, but Yun Xuzi and the others were also completely bewildered.
How could he be a mber of the Void Sect when he had just admitted his father was Jin Quan?
"Enough of this nonsense! You bastard who betrayed your sect, today I shall cleanse our house!" Zhang Shao was now intent on killing him. He wanted to take Jin Sanpang’s head back to Jin Quan and let him taste the pain of losing a son.
A flash of golden light shot out from his sleeve, aiming straight for Jin Sanpang’s head.
Yun Xuzi and the others, conflicted about Jin Sanpang’s identity, did not move to intercept it.
"Watch out!"
Yang Ming knew Jin Sanpang was Mo Qi’s friend, so he naturally wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. He thrust out his palm to strike the golden light.
However, he had underestimated the power of the golden light.
PSSSH!
The golden light pierced through his palm and, its trajectory altered, shot through Jin Sanpang’s chest.
BANG!
The imnse force sent Jin Sanpang flying backward. He slamd into a pillar behind him, then bounced off and landed at the feet of the Wolf Fang Sect youth.
Seizing the opportunity, the youth planted a foot on Jin Sanpang’s head, pinning him down.
"Fatty!"
Liu Hui snapped to his senses, his expression changing drastically. He was about to charge forward recklessly but was stopped by Yang Ming.
"Don’t go!" Yang Ming said, looking warily at Zhang Shao. The flesh and bone of his left palm were mangled and exposed, bleeding profusely.
He knew he was no match for Zhang Shao.
"Hmph. An Early-stage Void Realm cultivator dares to receive my Golden Cicada Dart?" Zhang Shao sneered contemptuously.
Seeing the agonized Jin Sanpang pinned under the Wolf Fang Sect youth’s foot, Liu Hui’s eyes looked ready to split from their sockets, and he nearly shattered his teeth from clenching his jaw so hard.
A cold glint shone in his eyes, his killing intent overflowing as he bit out each word, "If he lives, you might die a good death. If he dies, I’ll tear you into eight pieces!"
