1322 Getting Even (2/2)
Even though Li Hongmei, Nanrong Xi, and Pan Xi were the ones to attack first, Mo Fan did kill Pan Xi and injure Li Hongmei and Nanrong Xi. Even Elder Lin Ze was beaten beyond recognition for siding with them...
He had heard of the special character that the strongest participant in the World College Tournament possessed. It turned out that the rumors were true. His violent temper of insisting on getting even with people harboring malicious intentions toward him was even more shocking than the rumors had mentioned!
Elder Kang quickly went over and helped Lin Ze stand properly after Mo Fan let him go.
”Great Elder Kang, you can't let him go so easily. All men are equal in the eyes of the law. Even if he won the World College Tournament, he had just committed murder! We must punish him for it! Otherwise, no one is going to treat our Magic Association seriously. The people are going to look down at us!” Elder Lin Ze was badly beaten, yet it did not mean he had gotten over it.
Mo Fan regretted not asking Bola to break Lin Ze's 'third leg' too after hearing the accusation!
”I've already learned what happened from someone else. He clearly stated that it was Pan Xi who was trying to kill Mi Ningxue with his Curse Magic first... Elder Lin, aren't you being stubborn and arrogant to simply accuse him of murder without investigating the matter first? Besides, as the Disciplinary Elder of Gulangyu, why did it take you so long to intervene with the battle? I'm utterly disappointed by your failure to fulfill your obligations!” Elder Kang said.
Mo Fan nodded after hearing Elder Kang's scolding. It turned out that not everyone in a higher-level Magic Association was a fool like Lin Ze. There were still people that were reasonable and righteous.
Mo Fan was not someone who would kill indiscriminately. He was willing to spare Pan Xi's life if he had not used his Curse Element!
The Curse Element had always been a malicious Element. It had been forbidden by the Magic Association for a long time until they found a way to control the damage it caused. It was eventually accepted by the Magic Association.
However, there was one condition when using the Curse Element; its wielders were not allowed to use life-threatening Curse Spells on someone else!
There were a few different kinds of Curse Spells. One was normally used to torture the target, and the other was used to endanger the target's life, based on the Mage's control of the Curse Element. It was very easy to identify a life-threatening Curse Spell. Any spell that emitted a crimson-red light was a life-threatening Curse Spell. It was able to kill a person by draining the energy of their soul dry!
Pan Xi was using a life-threatening Curse Spell. He was trying to take away her soul, instead of inflicting permanent damage. It would turn her into an empty shell, like Wang Xiaojun. A cruel spell like that was completely forbidden by the Magic Association!
Many people had seen Pan Xi using the deadly Curse Spell, so Mo Fan was not worried that there were no witnesses to back him up. Since the man had crossed the line first, Mo Fan's actions were considered self-defense.
Mo Fan was not worried about being accused of excessive self-defense. He had earned so much glory for the country by winning the World College Tournament. If he did not even have the right to kill someone who was using a forbidden spell, what was the point of him contributing so much to the country?
It was not Mo Fan's first day stirring up troubles. He had caused a great scene at the Magic Association at the Beiyu Mountain, yet nothing had happened to him. As such, there was no reason for him to be worried about something insignificant like this.
He was not disregarding the law for no reason, but he could not care less about the law when someone was trying to bully him. He would only let it go after beating the crap out of the person!

”So he's Mo Fan, the one they referred to as the strongest participant in the World College Tournament!”
”No wonder he's so impressive. I'm the same age as him, but I haven't even reached the Intermediate Level.”
”What kind of ability was he using to engulf himself in flames? Not only was it cool to look at, it was ridiculously strong, too! Didn't you see how he beat the crap out of the representatives of the renowned clans?”
The spectators on the cruise ships were discussing among themselves.

Things were soon sorted out after Elder Kang took charge of the situation.
Elder Lin Ze was clearly abusing his powers to side with some of the renowned clans and pick on Fanxue Mountain. When Mu Ningxue told Elder Kang everything that had happened, he immediately interrogated Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei.
Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei denied it at first, but since Mu Ningxue was able to drag out the battle for so long, too many people had witnessed what had happened. Not every member of the Donghai Magic Association on Gulangyu had colluded with Elder Lin, either. Some of them gave their testimonies and brought up the footage of the surveillance cameras nearby to prove that Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei had attacked Mu Ningxue first!
”I'm afraid you will have to leave Gulangyu with the members of your clan. You are no longer welcomed by the Donghai Magic Association.” Elder Kang's gaze turned cold as soon as he heard the testimonies and saw the footage.
Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei were stunned. They were only trying to teach the young girl a punishment, yet the Donghai Magic Association was asking them to leave as a punishment!
”What about the meetings...” Li Hongmei said.
”From now onward, the Donghai Magic Association will no longer work with your clans. Respect goes both ways. You've failed to treat the rules of the Donghai Magic Association seriously, thus the Donghai Magic Association will not treat you with respect, either. We will reclaim the ore veins, mineral veins, and crystal veins that we are sharing with your clans. We'll be working with some other clans instead!” Elder Kang declared.
