Chapter 310 - Estranged (1/2)

A few Lei Hu Clan disciples came forward, picked up Lei Shan and escorted him away to safety.

Elder Lei Ting might have crossed the border… How could he treat Elder Lei Shan like that, and his remarks are very inappropriate…

The elders and the hall masters in the palace felt extremely disappointed, and they looked at Grand Elder Yu. From their point of view, Grand Elder Yu was supposed to say something, reprimand Lei Ting for his doings and rebuke the outsiders to protect Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er.

All of these were the duties and responsibilities of the Swords Gate's headmaster!

Grand Elder Yu however, remained silent while Lei Ting blatantly laughed as he looked at Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er. "Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er, my dear Seal Suppression Hall's masters, are you not supposed to give an explanation to our friends from the outside? Remember, today is a glorious day for us, we cannot risk any damage in our friendship just because of the two of you."

Qiu Jin'er was very sad, and just when she was about to listen to what Lei Ting said, Zhong Yue stopped her and said casually, "Elder Lei Ting, who are you to talk? Our headmaster has not said anything yet, are you even fit to talk right now?"

"How dare you!" shouted Elder Lei Ting furiously as he unleashed all of his power, producing lightning sparks all over the Golden Summit Palace.

As a Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioner, he displayed his prowess and his aura gushed towards Zhong Yue, trying to press him down.

"How dare me? How dare you!"

Having withstood Elder Lei Ting's aura, Zhong Yue shouted back, "Lei Ting, where do you think you are standing at? This is the Golden Summit Palace, the spirits of our ancestors are watching us! How dare you shout like a barbarian here! Misbehave again and the spirit of our ancestors will show their wrath to you!"

Elder Lei Ting had a scare, he quickly looked around nervously, as if the spirits of the ancestors were really there, and he unconsciously dispersed his thunder.

Both Elder You and Elder Quan too, quickly looked around and checked everywhere, fearing that the spirit of the ancestors would really appear.

They were very worried because the spirit of the first headmaster of Swords Gate slumbered in the very palace they were standing in. If the spirit was awoken, then the place they were standing on would turn into a hell filled with bloodshed in an instant!

Elder Lei Ting was incredibly unhappy, but this time, he lowered down his voice and said, "You have offended our friend…."

"Friend?" Zhong Yue laughed and said coldly, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Que, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Yin from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race killed Elder Shui Zian, yet you still see them as your friend? Zhong Li, Xiao Mang, Kui Long Celestial Race, the demons, dragons and the other races constantly chased after me to kill me, a hall master of Swords Gate! Did you do anything? No! Instead of helping your own people, you blame them and your actions have betrayed the humans, the Swords Gate, the teaching of our ancestors! You must die!"

Elder Lei Ting smirked and said, "You are shouting in the Golden Summit Palace…"

Zhong Yue interrupted Elder Lei Ting as he walked forward and said, "The outsiders came here with ill intentions, tried to kill the people of Swords Gate, and a hall master of Swords Gate! As an elder of Swords Gate, you did not even look into the matter closely and you even want to team up with the outsiders to kill your own people! You personally made this decision to ally with the outsiders to harm your people right in front of the headmaster, and caused great trouble for the Swords Gate without any valid reasons! Are you trying to betray all of us? If so, no one except for you should be killed!"

As he spoke, his voice grew louder and louder, his words were straight to the point and in the end, his voice was so loud that it echoed all over the palace.

In just an instant, Elder Lei Ting was intimidated, cold sweat appeared on his forehead and he stammered fearfully, "I…"

Zhong Yue then scolded him, "Shut the hell up! Now kneel at the side and await your punishment!"

Elder Lei Ting shivered, and just when he was about to kneel down, he suddenly regained his cool. He quickly stood up straight and said, "Little child! I almost fell for it, but you are no headmaster of Swords Gate, it is already against our culture for someone as young as you to disobey the elders like me! Besides, you have yet to give an explanation about you slaughtering the people of our friends…"

Shui Zizheng on the other side, laughed and said, "Some good speeches you had there, Seal Suppression Hall's hall master! The palace, however, is not a place where you can just blatantly talk nonsense! Our friends came to congratulate our new headmaster, we must give them an explanation for your ill-doings!"

Xiao Yin then said calmly, "Headmaster Yu, your Swords Gate is in a state of chaos right now, even a little hall master dares to make the elders kneel down before him. If no actions are taken, the Swords Gate will be a laughing stock in the future!"

Grand Elder Yu's face immediately turned black and he said, "As the headmaster of Swords Gate, I now rebuke your position of the hall master of Seal Suppression Hall…"

Zhong Yue however, kept his calm and he said, "Just by wearing that robe does not make you the headmaster of Swords Gate, you still need the godly sword, the seal, and the acknowledgment from the sword spirit and godly spirit. After that, you still need to pray to the heaven and earth. Grand Elder Yu, the true headmaster of Swords Gate is still Headmaster Feng, for you have yet to inherit the godly sword, the seal, the true quintessences of the [Great Boundless Sword Qi] and you did not pray to the heaven and earth!"

Grand Elder Yu's face changed slightly and he looked at Feng Wuji, his eyes landing onto the sword and seal in the hands of Feng Wuji.

Feng Wuji only gave him the robe of the headmaster, but not the sword and seal, and the prayers to the heavens and earth also had yet to be conducted as well. Without them, wearing a robe only granted Grand Elder Yu an unstable position, a position that could easily be rebuked by Feng Wuji if he desired!

Zhong Yue then bowed towards Feng Wuji as he said, "Headmaster Feng, you are the only one qualified to decide if I am guilty or not."

Feng Wuji's face changed slightly because he knew that Zhong Yue was trying to stir up chaos in his relationship with Grand Elder Yu. It was fine if he had to hand over the sword to Grand Elder Yu, but he would not hand over the seal, because he still needed to use the seal, which would determine if he could get his hands on the treasure hidden under Sword Gate Mountain.

Grand Elder Yu's expression darkened as he saw the hesitation in Feng Wuji's eyes, and quickly said, "Dear nephew Feng…"
