Chapter 407: Chapter 407 World-Shocking Genius_1

The onlookers, upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words, actually found themselves agreeing.

Because Ling Xiao was absolutely correct: nowhere in the Sect rules was it required for disciples to not hide their strength.

Nor was there any rule demanding that disciples must join the Inner Sect after advancing to the Transcendent Realm.

For the Elder Supreme, no less an Enforcement Elder, to be so ignorant of the Sect rules and to use such pretexts to scheme against an Outer Disciple.

This was more than inappropriate—it was, as Ling Xiao said, the epitome of shamelessness!

And utterly stupid, to boot!

However, while most people in their hearts agreed with Ling Xiao, they didn’t dare to be as recklessly outspoken as he was.

They were well aware of the consequences of offending the Head of the Enforcement Hall.

Of course, where there were those who dared not offend Elder Jin, there were also those who dared to speak out for justice.

Guanghan Celestial Venerate had gotten over her shock at Ling Xiao’s cultivation level and let out a cold laugh, saying, "Hehe, using fabricated excuses to ambush an Outer Sect Disciple, the illustrious Head of the Enforcement Hall sure is domineering and awe-inspiring! No wonder people say that nowadays in the Moon Hua Sect, the Enforcement Hall has long since overshadowed the Sect Leader!"

Her words were laden with heavy sarcasm.

Elder Jin’s old face trembled several times: he had simply wanted Ling Xiao to understand what happens to those who offend his lineage.

Additionally, he intended to assist Hei Suo in swiftly and cleanly disposing of the boy.

But he had never imagined that Ling Xiao would be so audacious, uttering sentences that caused him to lose all face in front of the others present.

He was a hypocrite.

And, naturally, he cared a great deal about saving face, at this moment even wishing he could just burrow into a mouse hole.

"Ba-boom!"

A dull thud exploded.

Elder Jin, in his fury, had caused the thick slate-paved ground to collapse.

His eyes, fixated on Ling Xiao, bore a desire to slay him right there and then.

Guanghan Celestial Venerate stood up.

Golden Light Heavenly Lord also stood up.

Even Elder Tu hesitated for a moment before rising.

"What do you few think you’re doing? Are you saying that I, as the Head of the Enforcement Hall, can’t even kill an Outer Disciple who has insulted an Elder Supreme?"

Elder Jin was aware of the intention behind these three people standing up but, relying on his status as Head of the Enforcement Hall, refused to back down, "I have always been clear with rewards and punishments. This child has repeatedly insulted me and violated Sect rules, a crime so heinous it’s unpardonable! In enforcing the Sect rules, are you intending to stop me?"

His voice carried a chill and a domineering tone.

Having been in the seat of the Head of the Enforcement Hall for a long time, he was used to being quick and decisive in killing, so he naturally had a belligerent air and didn’t take the other members of the Sect seriously at all.

"Hahahaha, Elder Jin, if he were just an ordinary Outer Disciple, killing him would also just be killing him; you could do it even just to vent your anger. However, as you have also seen, his cultivation has reached the Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak! To have achieved such a terrifying level in merely two months, this talent is indeed a great fortune for our Moon Hua Sect! This man, I’m afraid you cannot kill."

Golden Light Heavenly Lord had initially planned to not take sides, but Ling Xiao’s displayed talent had excited him so much that he decided to protect Ling Xiao.

"Elder Jin, if you dare kill Ling Xiao today, this Venerable One will obliterate all your disciples and grand-disciples! The Moon Hua Sect is not yours alone; you don’t get to do whatever you want!"

Guanghan Celestial Venerate’s voice was filled with a biting aura, "I may not be your match, but I will ensure not one of your disciples or grand-disciples, including that severely injured Demonflame Celestial, survives!"

"Guanghan! How utterly shameless of you!"

Elder Jin’s face went pale instantly as he retorted coldly, "You, a dignified Guanghan Celestial Venerate, a Heavenly Person Realm Expert, intend to take action against an injured person and the younger generation?"

"Who is truly the shameless one here!"

Guanghan Celestial Venerate said coldly, "As the Elder Supreme, you shamelessly attacked an Outer Disciple, yet you find it disgraceful for this venerable one to kill your disciples and grand-disciples? Elder Jin, has your brain really rusted?"

Indeed, Elder Jin is even more shameless and despicable!

Hearing the words of Elder Jin and Guanghan Celestial Venerate, many Inner Sect Disciples felt embarrassed. You are the Head of the Enforcement Hall, domineering and imposing, wanting to kill whoever you please, yet you won’t allow others to kill your juniors – isn’t that too shameless?

Saying such things.

Elder Tu was full of embarrassment. He was very close to Elder Jin, and it was Elder Jin who had proposed the last time that the four other elders in the Enforcement Hall should assist in rescuing Demonflame Celestial.

Last time, it was somewhat excusable as it was to save the genius Demonflame Celestial.

But this time, it was really a little too shameless.

"Head, can we put aside the matter with Ling Xiao for now? After we return to the Sect, we can discuss it at the high level and then decide. Shouldn’t we first settle the current issue?"

In the end, Elder Tu also spoke up.

If Elder Jin’s reckless behavior continued, it seemed likely that their Moon Hua Sect would have an internal conflict right here, and then the other sects would just be waiting to laugh at them.

The Moon Hua Sect was not strong enough to begin with, and now they lacked unity, which was indeed lamentable.

"Hmph, I give you this face! But it’s not because I am afraid of them!"

Elder Jin, seeing that three elders were dissatisfied with his actions, naturally couldn’t continue to be aggressive and conveniently stepped down using the opportunity Elder Tu provided.

After all, killing Ling Xiao was not a matter of urgency; he had plenty of opportunities to do it!

After returning to the Sect, wouldn’t the young man still be at his mercy?

No, the boy was already injured, and even with a Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak cultivation level, he was certainly no match for Hei Suo.

He’s likely to die today, not needing to wait until they return to the Sect.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat relieved in his heart, knowing that Hei Suo could help him dispel this anger without him having to lift a finger.

"Ling Xiao, are you still able to fight?"

Golden Light Heavenly Lord asked, now taking great interest in Ling Xiao.

A little too much interest, in fact.

It was clear to everyone that he wanted to take Ling Xiao as his disciple; otherwise, why would he suddenly be so kind to Ling Xiao?

"I can!"

Ling Xiao nodded in response.

No matter the motive behind Golden Light Heavenly Lord’s actions, they were helping him for the moment, so naturally he wanted to give this Inner Sect Elder some face.

"Well then, since that’s the case, you may begin your fight. If anyone else thinks of launching a sneak attack, I will protect you!"

Golden Light Heavenly Lord smiled faintly and sat back down.

"Hmph!"

On the other hand, Elder Jin snorted coldly. He was well aware that Golden Light Heavenly Lord was referring to him. But, was there a need to sneak attack? He simply couldn’t believe that Ling Xiao could possibly be a match for Hei Suo.

Ling Xiao’s gaze returned to Hei Suo.

During his confrontation with Elder Jin just now, Hei Suo hadn’t participated, though he certainly would have liked to see Ling Xiao crushed by Elder Jin.

Nevertheless, in his heart, he truly wanted to kill the young man himself.

However, Ling Xiao’s sudden display of Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak cultivation had forced him to take him seriously.

Of course, taking him seriously didn’t mean he was afraid, after all, there was still a considerable gap between the Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak and the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Early Phase.
