Chapter 436: Yet Another Brutal Beating

Qi Hongan, the headmaster of the Flying Frost Pavilion, was also the grandmaster’s direct disciple. He nodded repeatedly in response to the old man’s query. “Yes, I did it for the Flying—”

A “bang” interrupted his explanation. The Advanced-stage Spiritual King, Qi Hongan, was launched flying through the air and crashed into the wall. A crack divided the wall in two at the point of the impact. He vomited a mouthful of blood and looked up, completely puzzled. “Master?”

He hadn’t said anything wrong; why did his master beat him up?

“Brat! You dare to deceive your master and commit treason?” The old man roared in sudden anger. He jumped forward, dragging Qi Hongan from the wall and throwing him to the ground. Then he used his fists to pummel him repeatedly. “Deceive your master and commit treason! Deceive your master and commit treason! Deceive your master and commit treason!”

Every loud echo of his powerful fist was followed by stunned cries of pain.

The crowd lapsed into silence at this surprising act of violence. What was going on? Why did the grandmaster suddenly start beating up the headmaster?

Feng Tianlan also raised her eyebrows in surprise, although it was oddly satisfying to watch Qi Hongan get beaten up!

The old man thrashed him for a full half-hour. Then he stood up, anger spent, and adjusted his ruffled clothes, returning once more to his prior sage-like appearance. He turned his cold gaze on Qi Shujie.

Qi Shujie backed away in fear. But before he could say a word, he found himself flying into the air.

Bang!

A loud crash reverberated through the Martial Training Square as Qi Shujie landed on top of Qi Hongan. His blood burned in his veins and he vomited out a mouthful of it, eyes rolling up, head swimming. He almost passed out.

“Grand…Grandmaster!” Tu Xiupei was the old man’s next target and her voice trembled in fear as she met his gaze. This old man must be a fake pretending to be the grandmaster; why else would he start beating up his own disciples?

“Deceive your master and commit treason, and I will disable your Cinnabar field.” The old man grunted to himself. He unleashed his spiritual force and directed it at Tu Xiupei. It was definitely she who planned the mischief that resulted in the suggestion to disable his master’s Cinnabar field!
