Chapter 129: Challenging the Yun Sect (1/2)
Chapter 129: Challenging the Yun Sect
The Yun Sect had two headquarters, one to the south and one to the north.The northern institute was an internal research institute and the southern institute was an institute for guest officials.
The Yun Family was a family with a strong academic background, but a family would still be limited no matter how strong they were.The Yun Family was very generous and gave excellent treatment to the scholars they invited.
The southern institute was constructed just for this reason!
The southern institute’s main door was four zhang high and eight zhang wide.It was carved from pure white jade that had no imperfections and was incredibly beautiful.It was completely engraved with various obscure texts and runes, being called the “White Gate” by the people of Central State City!
All the scholars of Central State City aimed to pass the White Gate and all took pride in the White Gate.This gate was considered the goal of countless youths.
However at this moment.
Hong!
Just like an explosion!
The pure white jade gate was smashed apart!They only saw a man with a black cloth on his head being thrown in.Everyone inside the gate was scared silly.
There was actually someone that destroyed the famous White Gate!
The person on the ground was like a giant bug as he quickly crawled forward a few meters.He took off the cloth to reveal a black and blue pig face and loudly shouted, “Save me!There’s a brute trying to hurt me!”
“Isn’t this consecrate Jiang?”
“What is happening?”
Peng!
At this moment, a large foot slammed onto Jiang Qi’s body.The ice like blue blade came forward and he was frozen by the feeling of the cold blade.
Breaking the main gate of the southern institute!
Heavily wounding a southern institute consecrate!
Even a fool would be able to understand what was happening, but the Yun Sect juniors did not even have the time to fly into a rage.
The young man’s dagger like eyes swept across the crowd and then he gave a fearless smile, “I’m here for an explanation!You little ones should not waste my time, bring someone in charge over!”
Jiang Qi did not have a low status in the Yun Sect.
He was still a consecrate!
Not only did someone dare to beat him, the assaulter also dared to come to the Yun Sect.This was not only looking down on the Yun Sect, he was also challenging the Yun Family!Where did someone like this come from?
The young man was wearing a gray robe and he had a bamboo hat on his head.With an ordinary scabbard and a ragged clothing, he looked just like a weary traveller.He was very young and seemed a little disorderly.His hair was messy, his appearance was mediocre, and there was not a single distinguishing feature about him
Jiang Qi’s face filled with anger, wishing he could break out of this hold.He had finally realized just how strong this young man was and did not dare to move at this moment.
The Yun Sect, the holy ground of Central State scholars!
How could something like this happen now?
The dignified Yun Sect consecrate was now being held hostage by this young man.It was fine that he was beaten like a pig, but now he was wildly demanding for an explanation like he was the victim here.
Was there even logic here?
This was a clear challenge and clear provocation, this was simply slapping their face!
The Yun Sect juniors looked at Chu Tian in indignation.
Out of the Central State Four Great Families, only the Yun Family did not go into politics, business, or the military.They did not build up their influence, but there was nobody that dared to question the Yun Family’s status!
Why?
It was simple!
The Yun Family was a true scholar family!
The famous Alchemists and Symbol Masters in Central State, half of them came from the Yun Family.Out of all the popular talismans and pills on the market, at least half came from the Yun Family.Central State’s Symbol Master Guild, Alchemy Master Guild, and even Central State Academy were all filled with people from the Yun Sect.
If the Chu Family was the family that was the most martial arts based.
Then the Yun Family would be the most scholarly family in Central State.
The Yun Family juniors were all filled with a sense of honour and Central State scholars all considered it an honour to enter the Yun Sect.
Now that Chu Tian was holding a Yun Sect scholar hostage, how could these proud juniors accept this?
“Nobody has dared to provoke the Yun Sect in all these years.”A sound came from the large hall, “You are truly brave!”
A middle aged person came out followed by two old men.The middle aged man was wearing the clothes of a Yun Family Elder.Although he wasn’t a high level elder of the Yun Family, his eyes were filled with killing intent, giving him an angry appearance.
Out of the two old men, one was tall and one was short.They were both dressed like scholars and were both visibly angry.
Once Jiang Qi saw these two old men, he immediately cried out, “Fifth Brother Disciple, Sixth Brother Disciple, save me!”
The middle aged man was called Yun Guangyan and was the executive elder of the Yun Family southern institute.He was in charge of handling the everyday needs of the Yun Sect.The tall old man by his side was named Gao Haoran and the short old man was named Li Tai.
Gao Haoran and Li Tai were not simple people!
They were both disciples of the grand scholar Gu Qingqiu.Because they had been out studying, they came to Central State and ended up in the Yun Sect, becoming key members of the southern institute!
Who was Gu Qingqiu?
He was the royal tutor of the Southern Summer Country, specially teaching the royal family juniors.The Southern Summer Country’s king had personally bestowed the title of “Grand Scholar” to him and he was the role model of all the Southern Summer Country scholars.
Gao Haoran and Li Tai had studied under Gu Qianqiu, how revered was this status?
What was worse was the fact that Jiang Qi who was being held hostage was also the junior disciple of the two of them.That meant that he was also a disciple of Gu Qianqiu.
Jiang Qi acting arrogantly and Jing Hao not daring to offend him!
Wasn’t it just for this reason
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”Chu Tian looked at the crowd and slowly began to laugh, “You have to understand something!I am not offending the Yun Family like this, rather I’m just removing a tumor from your Yun Family.If this kind of insect was allowed to remain in the Yun Sect, your Yun Sect would be in danger!”
Yun Sect in danger?!
Yun Guangyan was filled with anger, “What kind of thing are you, daring to boast like this?Are you not afraid of provoking the Yun Family’s anger being this wild?!”
“This one is Lu Ren who is nothing more than a simple wandering rogue cultivator.I have come a long way to come and compare notes with your school.This is because I have heard of Central State’s great Yun Family with its strong origins and strong background, as well as the terrifying Purple Lightning Young Master.”
“I’ve heard of the Yun Family which is a several hundred year old clan as well as the hundred year old patriarch Yun Tianhe who has not only lived to the present, but also has a reputation as a very knowledgeable, courteous, righteous, and generous person.Also I’ve heard that the Yun Sect is the place for scholars to gather with its acclaimed power and nationwide reputation.”
Yun Guangyan flew into a rage, “If you want to come and learn, why did you harm our people!”
“You have to ask him about that.”Chu Tian used the sword’s blade to pat Jiang Qi’s face, “Where did this idiot come from?He’s so weak, yet he dares to be so arrogant.Placing no one in his eyes and wanting to take my tongue with a single word.This kind of black hearted and stupid person can actually be considered a scholar?I couldn’t control my anger and gave him a beating, but what surprised me was the fact that he belonged to your Yun Sect.”
“What made me disappointed was that even a degenerate like him could find a place to stand in the Yun Sect.It seems like the Yun Sect gets its fame from deceiving the world.The Yun Sect’s scholars are just a disorderly crowd gathering together, not worth mentioning and not worth stopping for!”
Jiang Qi was so angry he almost fainted.
“You’re seeking death!”Yun Guangyan was so angry he began to tremble, “Jiang Qi is a disciple of the grand scholar Gu Qianqiu, what do you count for?You’re just a simple commoner, a nameless peon and you actually dare to hold Sir Jiang hostage and cause trouble for our Yun Sect?Your mouth continues to spew trash and you keep tarnishing our Central State scholar’s holy ground, we will not let you continue doing this!”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”
“Such a good grand scholar’s disciple, such a good commoner peon.I already guessed the Yun Sect was not all that it was cracked up to be, but I never would have thought that the Yun Sect would be filled with blind people like you!”
“If the leaders are not virtuous, the people cannot be expected to be the same.You are a revered elder and yet you do not try to set a good example, demonstrating good morals and justice.You only know how to bully the weak and curry favours with the strong.For a degenerate like you to appear, what kind of place is the Yun Family?What kind of place is the Yun Sect?”
“You unjustly claim to be the premier academic body of Central State!”
Chu Tian wore a severe expression as he looked at Yun Guanyan.Not only was he not afraid, he spoke in a sarcastic tone.
“The Yun Family juniors standing around, when you see an elder of your family acting like this, how do you feel?Why is the Ye Family so notorious?It is because they act very ruthlessly and then everything slowly developed around their actions.If this continues, in my opinion, the Yun Sect will be following the same steps soon!”
“You don’t do things benefiting the family and instead shelter dirty insects like this.You appear to be a Yun Family elder, but you are just a traitor to the Yun Family!”
The Yun Family juniors stared blankly at one another.
