n“Hmph! How presumptuous of you to come here! Is this supposed to be a retaliation for what happened in the Frozen Garden Palace?

nShouldn’t you first go to Palace Master Wen Mei then?”

nThe eyes of the old man narrowed as his lips curled up in a smile full of ridicule, while the look in his eyes was filled with greed looking at Wu Long’s surroundings.

n“But since you foolishly delivered yourself to us, don’t be in a hurry to leave, not that you will be able to.

nDo you even know how insulting your lie about possessing a Sword Domain is to our Sect?!”

nThe Old Man’s words resounded through the vicinity, as two more figures wearing similar attires, no doubt being the Grand Elders, appeared in the skies, and the platforms near the sea were rapidly filling with Elders, Sect Protectors, even Disciples and Sect Retainers.

nAll of them wore gleeful looks as they heard that the “impostor” has arrived to “deliver himself for justice”, expecting quite a scene.

n“Hahaha, that is a rare sight indeed, such generosity to give yourself up on your own”, an old decrepit voice resounded as two more figures floated up into the skies, one was a man and another a woman.

n‘Heh, I guess they do have what it takes to call themselves the First among the Five Great Sects, five Mortal Transcendence Realm experts, three Grand Elders and two Sect Ancestors and previous Sect Masters… which leaves at least one man in that Realm for the current Sect Master… speak of the devil’

nWu Long narrowed his eyes at the sight of so many Mortal Transcendence Realm experts in one sect, though two of the Grand Elders had minor signs of not being in that Realm for long.

nAnd just as he thought of the last likely Mortal Transcendence Realm expert in the Sect, the middle-aged but moderately younger-looking man showed up in the air standing in between the two ancestors, with an aloof and tranquil appearance.

nThere were also quite a bit of Core Formation Realm Elders and Core Reformation Realm Grand Elders in the crowd on the shore, a lot of whom also had similar signs of recent breakthroughs.

n“It seems their cooperation with Gu Zhen was not as cheap as for the late Profound Martial Arts Valley”, Shen Min noted, and Wu Long nodded with a chuckle, his eyes locked with the so-called “Sword God” of this Sect and Three Continents.

n“Foolish mutt who dared to insult the Sword God with your little act! Know your place and look down! You are in the presence-…”, the Sect Protection Hall Master spoke with a grand gesture, his voice rising with notes of righteous indignation and elevated sense of pride, until…

n*shshk*

n“Gurkl…!!! glurk-… glk-…!”, a thin red line appeared on the throat of the man and his eyes widened as he raised both hands to hold it, and his subsequent words were lost in gurgling sounds as streams of blood ran in between his fingers, staining his white robes. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

n“Hahaha, Ye’er! You’re too cruel! He was winding up for a grand speech and you went and cut him down before he even got to the end of the first paragraph! Who does that?! Hahaha”, Wu Long lightly laughed shaking his head amid the astonished silence from the other side, as only the heavy sounds of waves hitting the hard rock cliffs of the shore could be heard.

nA black dagger that appeared to be floating midair slightly moved, and then a cloud of black smoke enveloped its handle.

nIt then moved away from the dagger to reveal first a delicate hand, and then gradually a figure of a beauty with black hair and crimson eyes floating midair behind and slightly to the side of the Grand Elder, who was desperately clenching his throat with wide bloodshot eyes.

nThe blood flow was slowly decreasing, as the man was after all a Mortal Transcendence Realm expert, and took control of the injury, but the dagger simply made a swiveling motion and was then lodged into the man’s heart from behind.

nHe made a “Hruk!!!”, sound amid the gurgling of his blood from the slit throat, his figure jolting and then his eyes rolling up, as his hands powerlessly fell to his sides and he hang like a coat on a rug on the dagger.

n“Urgh! Bu~t~!!! He insulted Darling! Plus who cares about his speech anyway~! I’m sure it was boring! Hehehehe~!”, first a wronged look was revealed in crimson eyes, and then cute wrinkles appeared around them, allowing to guess that a wide delighted smile was hiding behind Hong Ye’s mask, as her head popped from behind the Grand Elder’s shoulder to look at Wu Long.

n*Whe~w* *Splash*

nShe then removed the dagger and the lifeless body of the Grand Elder fell toward the sea, crushing into it with a splash that was almost unnoticeable as it coincided with a huge wave hitting the rocky shore, but reached the ears of the Sect members loud and clear despite that.

n“…!!!”

n“Bahshi Assassin!”

n“You dare!!!” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

n“Impertinent!”

n“Thi-…”

nThe audience then gasped as the stupor caused by the sudden developments dissipated with that splash, and the realization of what happened finally hit them.

nThe other Grand Elders and the Sect Ancestors floating midair behind raised their voices and hands with pointing fingers, full of shock and indignation as well.

nBut all of that was silenced as the current Sect Master raised his hand with narrowing eyes, his expression becoming a bit more solemn but still keeping that tranquil and composed, as well as slightly aloof look.

n“Prime Demon Hong Yue, might I ask what is the meaning of this? I understand that your Sister has always been unpredictable, but this is not the first time she kills our Grand Elder because, quote, ‘his speech is boring’. No matter how you look at it this is going over the line. You will have to give us a proper explanation this time around”

nThe ‘Sword God’ spoke with a calm tone, turning his gaze toward Hong Yue who stood not far from the Dao Family, while Hong Ye who returned to Wu Long’s side to lean on him, widened her eyes.

n“Mm? Not the fir-…? Oh! Ahahaha! I forgot that guy! Kehahaha! Yep, that one was annoying too, not as much as this one though~…”, she then mumbled in confusion until the words jogged her memory, laughing, while some of the beauties around looked at her with raised eyebrows.

nWei Lan’s look in particular was very telling, as the words “You forgot you killed a Grand Elder of one of the Five Great Sects?!?!” were quite palpable in it even without her saying them.

nMeanwhile Hong Yue didn’t bother answering the question, shrugging her shoulders while standing with crossed arms, and turning her head to look away, as if saying that all this was no longer part of her problems.

nAt the same time the Sect Master who asked her started to notice something strange, as Nie Xiwang who no longer had the crown giving her the title, and Hong Ye looked quite intimate with Wu Long.
