A Slap in His Face? I'll Give It a Try

According to the disciples, the deaths of several outer disciples were caused by the intrusion of insect swarms into the Dragon-Seeking Sect itself.

Many more people were injured.

Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong.

Each mountain peak in the Dragon-Seeking Sect has a medicine pavilion.

After the Longevity Hall became affiliated with them, they accumulated a large stockpile of elixirs.

But several outer disciples died.

But this directly ignited Chen Ning's anger.

The entire Peach Blossom Spring Mountain Range is protected by a sect-protecting formation.

It is not usually turned on.

Before Chen Ning set off, he specifically instructed the Fourth Elder to guard the Dragon -Dragon-Seeking Sect.

For a superpower like the Dragon-Seeking Sect, the swarm of insects is not particularly difficult to defend against.

Once the sect's protective formation is activated...

There will absolutely be no mistakes.

Yet, some disciples are still losing their lives because of this.

This debt.

It will definitely be blamed on the Fourth Elder.

The turmoil in Spirit Province has just been quelled.

Many elders and disciples who went out to save the people of Spirit Province have not yet returned.

Cang Yue had a whole host of miscellaneous things to deal with.

These matters were originally meant for Chen Ning to handle, but with his virtuous disciple Cang Yue by his side, they were able to manage them.

This saves a lot of trouble.

"Eighth Elder."

Chen Ning called out.

Lin Xiaotian immediately replied respectfully, "Your subordinate is here!"

"Go and bring the Fourth Elder Di Qiu, here!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Xiaotian accepted the order and then headed straight for a certain mountain peak.

Soon.

They left and then returned.

Fourth Elder Di Qiu, unaware of what had transpired, stepped forward to offer his congratulations. "Your subordinate congratulates the Sect Leader on eradicating the insect infestation and restoring a clear sky to Spirit Province. Truly a cause for celebration, a cause for great joy!"

"Di Qiu, I ask you, Dragon-Seeking Sect has a protective formation, why have disciples still lost their lives?"

Hearing Chen Ning's icy voice.

Di Qiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

However, he still answered, "Sect Leader, please forgive me. I forgot to activate the grand formation, which caused a slight delay."

"Delaying the appointed time? Can't even the Fourth Elder handle such a small matter?"

Seeing the sect leader's seriousness, Di Qiu knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he told the truth, "It was indeed my fault for being too drunk. I didn't expect the insect invasion to come so quickly."

Chen Ning's eyes were cold. "Do you know that six disciples have died because of you, and hundreds more have been injured because of you?"

"Sect Leader, only six outer disciples have died. My Dragon-Seeking Sect has a thousand-year-old foundation and is a super power. Do we have to worry about not having disciples?"

The Fourth Elder said nonchalantly.

"Only six disciples?"

Chen Ning slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Which of them wasn't born of a father and mother? On the contrary, it's you, Di Qiu. I allowed you to stay and guard the mountain gate because of your age, but you show no regard for the lives of your disciples. What use is an elder like you?"

As soon as he finished speaking...

A murderous intent surfaced.

Lin Xiaotian stood guard nearby, his intuition telling him that the Fourth Elder was in trouble!

As expected!

It was the eighth brother who was the most pragmatic and didn't continue to oppose the sect leader.

See!

To oppose the sect leader is to face certain death!

Upon hearing this, Di Qiu's pupils contracted, and he said, "Could it be that the sect leader intends to punish me because of a few outer sect disciples?"

"They didn't have to die... The young men of the Dragon-Seeking Sect are willing to die for the chaos in Spirit Province, but they shouldn't lose their lives without a clear explanation because of you, Di Qiu!"

Chen Ning's gaze was icy cold.

We have been working tirelessly for Spirit Province.

Even Cang Yue and several veteran undercover agents contributed to protecting the people of Spirit Province.

Only these four elders, Di Qiu.

They actually dared to cause trouble at this time.

Then kill him.

To appease the spirits of the deceased disciples.

"Sect Leader, you cannot harm me! I was promoted by the Supreme Elder and am one of his men. To harm me is to slap him in the face."

Di Qiu showed no fear even at this point.

Instead, they brought out the Supreme Elder.

He doesn't intend to resort to this life-saving measure unless absolutely necessary.

But at this moment, he could clearly feel the sect leader's killing intent.

"The Supreme Elder is of the same generation as the former sect leader. If you were to slap his face, even if you were the sect leader, you wouldn't be able to bear it," the Fourth Elder said calmly.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Chen Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Then I really want to try. If I slap him in the face, how could I not bear it?"

Upon seeing the sect leader, his mind was made up.

Di Qiu's veins were bulging, and countless images flashed through his mind.

Many of the top combatants of the Dragon-Seeking Sect were still on their way back.

Elder Cang Yue was troubled by many things again.

The sect is currently in chaos.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to escape.

He glanced at Lin Xiaotian.

Now, only the sect leader and Lin Xiaotian are here.

Lin Xiaotian's cultivation level was weaker than his.

The sect leader on the other side, however, was still very young and inexperienced.

How can I stop him?

Escape first.

Once the Supreme Elder emerges from seclusion, he will be able to make decisions for him.

"Sect Leader, according to custom, a meeting of the Elders should be convened before my crime can be determined."

Di Qiu was already prepared to escape.

But that's what they said.

There's no need to hold a meeting.

Chen Ning chuckled softly.

"Di Qiu, a native of Martial Province, comes from the Profound Yang Sect in Martial Province. He went undercover sixty years ago to the Dragon-Seeking Sect. Am I right?"

Chen Ning finished speaking.

Di Qiu shuddered.

How could he know so much?

"Sect Leader... I don't understand what you're saying. I've served the Dragon-Seeking Sect for so many years, how could you wrong me? The Sect Leader must have been misled by outsiders. In any case, I'll take my leave now, and convene an elders' meeting another day to ask the elders to clear my name."

Di Qiu finished speaking.

The footwork shifts.

It darted off into the distance.

Eighth Elder Lin Xiaotian was shocked by the sect leader's words.

However, he reacted immediately.

They intervened to stop it.

"Don't be so insolent before the sect leader!"

Lin Xiaotian shouted.

The powerful True Essence Power transformed into a chain to intercept the Fourth Elder who was trying to escape.

But faced with this scene...

Di Qiu merely sneered, "Lin Xiaotian, you're not worthy to stop me!"

At the same time.

A vast amount of Essence Power bursts forth.

The Fourth Elder was none other than a Five-Star Martial Venerable.

In terms of strength.

Far above Lin Xiaotian.

Click!

The chain of Essence Power that had been blocking the way suddenly snapped.

The remaining force even made Lin Xiaotian's breathing unstable.

The Fourth Elder's feet shifted again.

But at this moment...

A terrifying aura locked onto him.

He was horrified.

Those present.

How could anyone have a higher cultivation level than him?

Immediately.

His eyes showed shock.

He looked at Chen Ning.

"Five-Star Martial Venerable?!"

His heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

"Di Qiu, now that I have been completely honest with you, I have no intention of letting you go."

Chen Ning spoke indifferently.

Not long ago, he was promoted to Two-Star Martial Venerable through the system.

He then took the Realm-Breaking Pill.

He was promoted three ranks in quick succession.

Now.

His cultivation level was the same as that of the Fourth Elder.

But their strength is worlds apart.

People of the same level.

Chen Ning control his life and death.

Lin Xiaotian was truly shocked. Not long ago, when he met the sect leader, he was only a novice Martial Venerable. Now, he had reached a level that Lin Xiaotian had to look up to...
