Super War God in the City
Chapter 736 - 736: Demand an Explanation!

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing was immediately alarmed.

"No wonder the Saintess has been out for so long, she went to seek reinforcements, didn't she?" Yu Jing's expression grew solemn as he muttered to himself in his heart.

As for the youth Zhai Hu mentioned before, who defended against weapons with his bare hands, although Yu Jing was surprised, he did not pay too much attention to it.

It was understandable that the youth was strong, but the idea of catching weapons with his bare hands was absurd. It must be that he was carrying some invisible secret treasure, just not visible to the naked eye.

Or perhaps he had used some secret technique, merely to intimidate the onlookers.

"Messenger, you must become my advocate, that little bastard must die!" Chu Ling, returning from his reverie, spoke through clenched teeth, his eyes raging with fury.

His cultivation was destroyed, which felt even worse than being killed; he could only become a common follower of the Witchcraft Sect from now on.

Thinking about how he had struggled step by step, undergoing severe cultivation to reach this point, only to be beaten back to square one with a single punch was incredibly frustrating.

At that moment, the fury and hatred in his heart were so intense that even the waters of Three Rivers and Five Lakes could not pour it out.

"Take him down for treatment. I will report this matter to the higher-ups!" Yu Jing glanced at Chu Ling and immediately instructed Zhai Hu, before quickly leaving the scene.

Although Chu Ling himself was not very powerful, he had a protector as a brother-in-law, so he probably wouldn't let the matter rest; Yu Jing needed to promptly report the situation.

...

Main Peak, Wushen Peak.

A narrow path snaked midway up the mountain, with Ling Fan and Feng Xiaobai following Lan Zihan up the steps.

"I will shoulder the troubles caused by Xiaobai. You won't be implicated!" Ling Fan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Lan Zihan frowned, displeased, "What are you talking about? As the Saintess of the Witchcraft Sect, can't I protect you both?"

Ling Fan gave a bitter smile and spoke lightly, "Don't be angry, but logically speaking, as the Saintess of the Witchcraft Sect, you should be second only to none, revered by thousands.

However, observing the situation earlier, it doesn't seem that way, does it? There seems to be unrest within your sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Zihan bit her lip, surprised that Ling Fan had noticed the nuances. Indeed, it was something anyone but a fool could discern!

However, Ling Fan having pointed it out in her presence was somewhat uncomfortable for her.

Yet, the internal affairs of the Witchcraft Sect were indeed complex and couldn't be clearly explained in just a moment; many deep secrets couldn't just be revealed to Ling Fan.

After all, they hadn't known each other for long. How could she possibly reveal all the true situations within the Witchcraft Sect?

Ling Fan pondered in his heart, realizing that some things had to be dealt with as the situations arose, as asking too many questions suddenly could be inappropriate.

"There are indeed some minor issues within our sect, which might have made us seem laughable to you. However, you don't need to worry.

I will speak to my father and arrange for the two of you to be Guest Elders. Then, no one will dare to bother you!" Lan Zihan declared with a pursed mouth.

Ling Fan nodded, "Should you need anything, I can lend a hand!"

"Thank you!" Lan Zihan was a bit taken aback by the offer.

If the main lineage of the peak could gain the assistance of Ling Fan and his companions, their strength could indeed be greatly enhanced, which was another reason why she had actively invited them to the Witchcraft Sect.

The main lineage was weakening, and Lan Zihan was desperately seeking capable allies!

The arrival of the trio at the main peak instantly caused quite a stir and much speculation.

"Look, the Saintess is back!" a disciple immediately exclaimed.

Lan Zihan was widely regarded as the top beauty of the Witchcraft Sect, a goddess in the hearts of many disciples, always attracting male disciples to watch her from afar every time she appeared.

"Who is that man with the Saintess? And who is that child?" someone nearby asked, eyes wide with confusion.

"Seeing how close the Saintess seems with them, this..." many onlooking disciples were shocked.

The Saintess was known in the sect as an 'Ice Mountain beauty' because she was usually indifferent to men.

Even the talented young Junior Peak Master of Di Jiang Peak could hardly catch the eye of Lan Zihan.

Yet now, did the Saintess actually smile at that man?

The surrounding disciples looked at each other in disbelief, feeling as if the sun had risen from the west today.

"What are you all standing around discussing, what does this look like, recklessly talking about the Saintess, all of you, to Penitent Cliff for confinement!" A cold rebuke suddenly came.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples instantly stiffened, shrinking their necks. Without needing to look, they knew from the voice that it was the iron-faced Yama from Wushen Peak, the Disciplinary Protector.

Each peak had a Disciplinary Protector, responsible for the discipline and punishment of the disciples of that peak.

In the entire Witchcraft Sect, Duan Wuqing from Wushen Peak was the chief Disciplinary Protector, overseeing the Disciplinary Protectors of the other Twelve Peaks and was known for his impartiality.

The disciples who had gathered in small groups to whisper suddenly scattered like birds and beasts; if caught by this iron-faced Yama, they would likely have nightmares for days.

Watching the crowd disperse in a hurry, the man snorted coldly.

He then looked towards the approaching Saintess and her two companions, his heart slightly startled, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

"Protector Wuqing, where is my father?" When Lan Zihan saw the newcomer, she immediately greeted him.

The people from Wushen Peak were all close retainers of the Sect Hierarch; Lan Zihan had a good relationship with these protectors.

Upon hearing this, the man's expression became slightly serious, "The Sect Hierarch has been in seclusion for several days; unless it's something urgent, it's best not to disturb him!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Zihan suddenly felt anxious, her face turning pale; had it not been for the crowded place, she would have already asked further.

"Miss, you've been out for quite a while; the Sect Hierarch has mentioned you several times. If you hadn't returned, I would have been preparing to send someone to look for you!" Duan Wuqing changed the subject.

"I apologize for the worry, I'm fine. Do you know when my father will come out of seclusion?" Lan Zihan spoke.

"It's hard to say!" Duan Wuqing shook his head.

"Right, please relay that these two are the newly appointed Guest Official Protectors of Wushen Peak!" Lan Zihan immediately instructed Duan Wuqing.

Upon hearing this, Duan Wuqing was momentarily stunned and said incredulously, "Miss, it's been many years since our Witchcraft Sect last appointed any Guest Elder!

Moreover, the appointment of a Guest Official Protector needs the approval of the Sect Hierarch, this...."

Lan Zihan shook her head, "Don't worry, my father will agree. I will speak to the Sect Hierarch about it later!"

Duan Wuqing stepped aside, his face showing some difficulty, but he said nothing further, his curiosity about the two individuals the Saintess had brought back growing.

The young man in front of him was one thing, but what about that white-haired young boy, was he also a Guest Official Protector?

"Ling Fan, let me show you around first. Once my father comes out of seclusion, I'll introduce you to him!" Lan Zihan explained.

Ling Fan had no objections and nodded immediately.

...

Witch Mountain, Liangqiang Peak.

Yu Jing hurried back, and after much deliberation, he found Chu Ling's brother-in-law, Tian Zheng, and relayed everything that had happened in the Martial Arts Arena without omitting a detail.

"Slap!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Zheng was shocked for a moment before slamming his hand on the table, standing up abruptly.

"What did you say? The Saintess brought back reinforcements, and Chu Ling was crippled?" Tian Zheng exclaimed in shock.

Yu Jing nodded, "It should be true, so many people saw it!"

Tian Zheng immediately took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions, and said in a serious tone, "The Saintess can't act recklessly, allowing outsiders to freely harm our Witchcraft Sect members.

I need to consult the Junior Peak Master about this; we must go to Wushen Peak and demand an explanation!"
