Chapter 2278 - Hidden Secret Realm (1/2)

“Since there’s no evidence, stop making false accusations. Is your speciality bullying juniors? You’re the one saying who is the killer and whatnot. If so, wouldn’t everyone have to die because of your scheme?” Ling Yun said coldly.

“Who are you? There is no place for a brat like you to stir trouble in Profound Feng Sect.” Yan Jun said as he looked at Ling Yun furiously.

If it wasn’t for this girl, he would’ve killed Jiang Chen already. Pity.

“She’s not one of us but she’s a guest from outside.” Xuan Qingming said quietly.

“You do not need to feel discontented. I’m just stating the facts. But to think the elder of this esteemed sect would be this unreasonable… towards your own disciple, nonetheless. So, you can just kill whoever you want? This is truly eye-opening.” Ling Yun said.

Yan Jun’s expression kept changing. He was sure that Jiang Chen was the murderer of his flesh and blood, but there was no evidence.

“Great Elder. I think this matter needs further discussion. Jiang Chen had just done a great deed for the sect. We cannot just let our disciple suffer on a false accusation even if you or we felt wronged.” Xuan Qingming said quietly.

“Him? Doing a great deed for the sect? Have I never done anything for the sect?! For all these years, this old one has done everything I could for the sect, is that wrong? Sect Lord, you have truly disappointed me. He’s just a mere disciple, do I not have the authority to punish him?” Yan Jun said.

“Great Elder, you have to know that this is not just about Jiang Chen because he has already garnered the support of countless disciples. If we were to punish him without a justifiable basis then how would our disciples see us? Will they accept it? Wouldn’t our Profound Feng Sect wrong them? Moreover, most importantly, you need to have a piece of evidence. Otherwise, I cannot judge whether he’s the perpetrator. It is hard to convince the masses with just your word alone, Great Elder. ” Xuan Qingming tried his best to convince him.

He was in a dilemma. The Great Elder was respected and one who has supported the sect for all these years. Whereas Jiang Chen had done great deeds for the sect just recently and was supported by the people of the Earthy Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect.

“I will not be biased in this matter, I can only act based on facts. Great Elder is a great friend of mine. But in this matter, I will not step down. If the Great Elder can bring me a piece of evidence, then I shall not inquire further and Jiang Chen is all yours. However, I have to be responsible for the whole sect if there isn’t any evidence provided.” Xuan Qingming said sternly.

At this moment, Yan Jun knew he could never harm Jiang Chen, with that girl and the Sect Lord standing by that boy’s side. Yan Jun was not a reckless man. At this moment, he knew he had to back down, otherwise, it’ll be viewed that he’s throwing a tantrum. But the anger in his heart could not be quenched.

Yan Jun too knew what Xuan Qingming’s personality was, he was just a man. Without any evidence, it’ll just be slander. Now, Jiang Chen was standing at a higher position than him, in terms of the moral standpoint.

“I am just doing my best for the sect. To think that the Great Elder would wrong me. This is truly disappointing… ” Jiang Chen sighed with a helpless expression.

“Don’t be too happy about it. This matter will be settled sooner or later, blood for blood.” Yan Jun harrumphed and left.
