Chapter 294 - Shocking the World of Cultivators (2/2)

“This is the sacred ground of Taoists, and we are of a prestigious lineage. You think just anyone could step foot here without any care?”

“Do I look like I care about you Maoshan Sect people? You people are involved in treasonous actions, and I’ll have you people explain yourselves today.”

Duan Shan smirked and continued, “Move aside, or I’ll be doing this the hard way. We’d find out just how many heads you have if you dare to resist.”

There were already military forces intervening from afar, who were busy dispersing tourists on the mountain.

That receptionist disciple was furious upon seeing what happened.

It was not like he knew nothing.

What happened last night shocked the entire Huaxia, and probably even cultivators throughout the world.

He knew very well that there were several elders from the sect involved in it. That undead king that caused quite a commotion in the capital city was the undead king that was sealed by the Maoshan Sect, after all.

However, it was unthinkable to just let those government authorities in at the moment, or that would have spelled doom for the entire sect.

Duan Shan extended his hand before that disciple was able to react in time. That disciple then sensed terrifying power pulling him away right there and then.

That was a method for force activation—the Dragon Catching Skill.

“Tie him up and keep a close eye on him.”

Duan Shan flung that receptionist disciple behind him. There were immediately several fighters from the Heavenly Palace catching him and tying him up. The ropes used were crafted using special alloys, making it impossible for even formidable martial artists to shake free.

Duan Shan then brought several others from the Heavenly Palace and the military charging into the Maoshan Sect.

The sect master of the Maoshan Sect was looking furious in the great hall of their sect.

The Maoshan Sect had never been bullied to such extent for ages, after all.

“Sectmaster, you absolutely can’t allow these people to throw their weight around like that. We of the Maoshan Sect are of a lineage of the utmost prestige. We can’t just let them do whatever they please like that!” an elder shouted furiously.

“A mere military governor of the Heavenly Palace dares to mess with us of the Maoshan Sect. That punk has a death wish!” Yet another elder berated in anguish.

None of them thought much of Duan Shan at all, despite learning from surveillance that Duan Shan was definitely a Celestial Realm being, judging from how he went about things.

But then again, a mere Celestial Realm being was not worthy of their attention.

Even without the undead king, which had been their trump card, around, there were still quite a number of Celestial Realm beings in the ranks of Maoshan Sect. A Celestial Realm being had a death wish, barging in like that.

The restoration of spirit qi to the world was the best thing to happen to those sects and clans of old heritages.

Nothing else would have worked better in their favor.

A sect or clan without much history would probably be able to have one such Celestial Realm being emerge from their ranks, yet those sects and clans with a rich heritage and history would definitely have two or three such beings in their ranks.

Even with the two elders who died in the battlefield at the Special Task Force taken into account, there were still more than ten Celestial Realm cultivators present in the Maoshan Sect.

They were still a large enough force to intimidate the entire world of cultivators.

The sect master suppressed his anger, yet he crushed that armrest of his red sandalwood Taishi chair.

He then said coldly, “If they insist on carrying on with the arrest, then let them be. We sent a letter to the government the day before yesterday, telling them that those two had been excommunicated from the sect. Whatever they have done had nothing to do with the Maoshan Sect.”

Many recalled something like that. The sect had indeed sent a letter to the government, stripping the membership of those two before they joined the operation.

However, everyone knew that such ex-communication was but a fluke.

No one would have believed that what the two of them had done had nothing to do with the Moashan Sect.

But then again, all that was needed in many situations was but a way out of the deadlock.
