Chapter 676: The Grand Elders decision (2) (1/2)
The Grand Elder snorted for the second time, and as he looked at Sun Wen who was standing a few meters away from him, his eyes suddenly narrowed as a cold glint flashed inside them, before he said in a domineering tone
''The Yang family will be unhappy? Then let them be unhappy! So what if they are unhappy with my arrangements? If they have a problem, then let that little bastard, Yang Tian come here so I can give him a good beating instead. Does my Holy sect have to please a family like the Yang family?''
It wasn't just Sun Wen who shivered when he heard the Grand Elder's tone that was turning furious with every passing moment, but even Liu Mei's master, Xuan Jiao, as well as the bald Cao Ling both felt a cold feeling cover their hearts.
They knew that although the Grand Elder rarely showed this side of his, he was extremely arrogant in reality.
Although the Yang family was the strongest family among all the families and clans within the Holy sect's territory, and their family patriarch, Yang Tian was an early rank 9 Dao Emperor realm expert who could pressure most of the inner court Elders to give face to his family, he was indeed inferior when he was compared to someone like the Grand Elder who was just a step away from breaking through to the Sovereign realm.
At the same time, Sun Wen and the rest knew, that the sect master was rarely in the sect as he usually traveled around since his mind was fully focused on his own training, the Grand Elder was actually the one who kept those powerful families and clans around the Holy sect's territory in check.
Thus, they understood.
Why would the Grand Elder care for the Yang family? Indeed, even if they were displeased, so what?
The Grand Elder's strength truly stood at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm. Even when he was compared to other powerful Dao Emperors, he was among the strongest ones. The only ones who were stronger than him were monsters like Xuan Jiao's deceased master who had also comprehended the Dao of Death.
As for early rank 9 Dao Emperors like the family patriarch of the Yang family, the Grand Elder had no reason to care about his displeasure, let alone give him any face.
The Grand Elder had turned even angrier as he stared at Cao Ling and continued speaking
''Could it be that my Holy sect has to ask for permission from the Yang family before making a decision about anything?''
Realizing that things would get out of control if the Grand Elder got truly angry, Sun Wen hurriedly bowed his head and apologized as he said
''Grand Elder, junior brother Cao didn't mean that. It's simply that the Yang family has too many geniuses within our sect. At the same time, his words were not without merit either. Although most of the outer court disciples may agree to follow Yang Hui when they enter the City of Immortals, it's unlikely that they will agree to follow Shun Long who is just at the late stages of the Nascent Soul.
Besides... aren't the rules of the City of Immortals such, that nobody below the Dao King realm will be permitted to enter inside? Although Shun Long is extremely talented, the Daos that he has comprehended are both supreme Daos. I don't think that it's possible for him to reach even the peak of the Nascent Soul stage by then, let alone the Dao King realm.''
Cao Ling hurriedly nodded his head without speaking any further, as he cast a grateful glance at Sun Wen who had spoken on his behalf.
