At that rebuke, Duobao, Chi Jingzi, and Taiyi all descended from the sky.
"Greetings, Senior Disciple Brother!"
"Senior Disciple Brother, they were too—"
Duobao came down ready to complain, but Xian Junyu immediately cut him off.
"Shut up! Did I ask you? As the Second Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect, you led your junior brothers and sisters into a mass brawl. Is this how a Second Senior Disciple Brother should behave? This is utterly ridiculous!"
"But Senior Disciple Brother, it was clearly them... Yes, Junior Brother knows his mistake..." Duobao still tried to explain.
However, when he saw the warning in his Senior Disciple Brother's eyes, he swallowed his explanation and admitted his mistake outright.
Only after Duobao stopped talking did Xian Junyu look somewhat satisfied.
Seeing that Chi Jingzi and Taiyi were both injured while Duobao was completely unscathed, he was angry, but also somewhat pleased.
Duobao had managed to suppress two of Mount Kunlun's Twelve Golden Immortals. His cultivation was indeed quite impressive. Duobao had already been stronger than the two of them, so if he had still ended up beaten, that would truly have been humiliating.
After glancing at the people from both sects, Xian Junyu continued:
"Minor verbal disputes are one thing, but today you actually gathered here and started fighting. Do you still have any regard for the Saints?"
"If you think your cultivation is sufficient, you can come challenge me anytime. Don't act so self-important here. Remember, this is the Saint's Dojo, not a place for you to fool around!"
His rebuke carried another meaning as well.
The unspoken meaning was that they were all Saint Disciples, so there was no need to pretend that one was nobler than another. If anyone thought they were so great, they could come spar with him anytime and see whether he would beat them senseless.
After being rebuked by Xian Junyu, everyone lowered their heads and fell silent.
If it had been someone else, they might have dared to argue back a little. But since it was Xian Junyu, they decided it was better not to.
Not only was his cultivation powerful, he was also highly favored by the three Saints. Opposing him would be no different from seeking death.
Just then, Nan Ji arrived and slowly walked forward.
"Nan Ji greets Senior Disciple Brother!"
He said nothing else and merely offered a simple greeting.
"You came at just the right time, Junior Brother Nan Ji. How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Xian Junyu asked indifferently.
Nan Ji could not possibly have been unaware of what happened here. He had clearly known about it but stayed out of sight, obviously hoping to avoid getting involved.
But now that things had reached this point, how could he continue hiding? Xian Junyu directly tossed the matter to Nan Ji to see how the First Disciple of the Chan Sect would handle it.
"This matter is entirely up to Senior Disciple Brother. Junior Brother will follow your decision!"
Nan Ji kicked the problem right back.
He had never wanted to get involved in this matter. No matter how it was resolved, he would be the one caught in the middle, so it was better to leave it to the First Disciple of Mount Kunlun. Let him deal with it however he wanted!
If he questioned Chan Sect disciples, the Chan Sect disciples would be dissatisfied. If he questioned Jie Sect disciples, the Jie Sect disciples would refuse to accept it. Whoever wanted to handle this mess could do so themselves.
"Since you'll follow my decision, how about we end the matter here?" Xian Junyu said, looking at Nan Ji.
Nan Ji merely wore an expression that said: You decide for yourself. Just don't ask me.
Seeing this, Xian Junyu cursed inwardly. What a sly fox.
But after thinking it over, he seemed to be the best person to handle the matter. After all, among the three sects on Mount Kunlun, he had some standing with all of them.
Just as he was preparing to settle the matter, the two beaten Inner Sect Disciples of the Jie Sect jumped forward.
"No! Senior Disciple Brother, you can't just let them off!"
"That's right, Senior Disciple Brother! Absolutely not! They looked down on our Jie Sect and insulted us. They even struck first. You can't let them off so easily!"
Hearing this, Chi Jingzi arrogantly turned his head aside.
He had indeed said, "The Jie Sect is full of feathered and furred beasts. They have no right to stay on Mount Kunlun." He had also been the one to strike first, so there was nothing to explain.
As for Taiyi, although he also looked down on these spirits and monsters, he had not said so openly. He had merely helped his Senior Brother deal with Duobao.
He looked completely unconcerned.
However, when Xian Junyu heard this, his entire face darkened. He knew that the Inner Sect Disciples had suffered a grievance, but this was not the right time to start a conflict.
Knowing something was one matter; saying it aloud was another. Hadn't this put him in an impossible position?
Those two were truly the worst kind of teammates!
At this point, Nan Ji also realized that he had no choice but to speak. Who knew whether Xian Junyu would attack for the sake of the Jie Sect disciples?
"Senior Disciple Brother, Junior Brother Chi Jingzi's words were insulting. I will report this matter to my master for him to handle!"
Reporting it to Second Martial Uncle Yuanshi clearly meant that Nan Ji was afraid Xian Junyu would deal with Chi Jingzi himself!
Would Second Martial Uncle deal with one of his Twelve Golden Immortals? That was impossible. It would already be fortunate if he did not applaud and praise Chi Jingzi. How could he punish him?
However, since Nan Ji had invoked a Saint, Xian Junyu could not say much more.
"As for the Chan Sect disciples, I have no authority to interfere. Let Martial Uncle Yuanshi handle them himself!"
As he spoke, Xian Junyu turned to the two Inner Sect Disciples and said:
"I have no authority to interfere with what the Chan Sect disciples do, nor do I have the right to manage them. But I can discipline Jie Sect disciples!"
"You two provoked a conflict between the two sects and made trouble on a Saint's immortal mountain. If I do not punish you, even Heaven itself will find it intolerable!"
With that, Xian Junyu flicked his hand. Two streams of Immortal Power shot out, instantly sending the two men flying.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The two crashed through huge rocks, vomited blood, and immediately fainted.
Seeing this, the pupils of the disciples from both sects contracted. He had struck without hesitation. This Senior Disciple Brother, Xian Junyu, was far too forceful.
Chi Jingzi became even more flustered. He could not withstand an attack from a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The state of those two was probably what awaited him as well.
At that moment, he was truly afraid that Senior Disciple Brother Xian Junyu would attack him.
However, Xian Junyu did not even glance at the Chan Sect disciples. Instead, he said to the Jie Sect disciples:
"This is only a minor punishment. If there is a next time, it will not be so simple!"
"I hope this is the first and last time something like this happens. Of course, we do not provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of it either. If anyone insults you again, come to me. I will personally tear his mouth apart!"
How could he not know that his junior brothers and sisters had suffered an injustice? While punishing his juniors, those words also served as a warning to the Chan Sect disciples.
Manage your own Chan Sect affairs and stop reaching your hands so far. Don't meddle in matters that don't concern you. If there was another incident, they should not blame him for bullying his juniors with his seniority.
He could let it go this time, but that might not be the case next time.
"Yes, Senior Disciple Brother!!!"
The Jie Sect disciples obediently saluted one after another. It was enough that their Senior Disciple Brother was willing to stand up for them, even if he had said it would be next time.
The Chan Sect disciples frowned when they heard this, secretly thinking that they should avoid provoking Xian Junyu in the future.
Otherwise, he might come straight to their door and start a fight.
"Now that you understand, why aren't you leaving? Don't go out for no reason and get in other people's way. All of you, go back and cultivate!"
After Xian Junyu finished speaking, the Inner Sect Disciples carried the two unconscious men away, leaving only Duobao and the Four Personal Disciples behind.
After being mocked so openly, the Chan Sect disciples stood awkwardly where they were, uncertain whether to leave or stay.
