Tianshui Sect, Overturned Water Hall.
"Good!"
"Lin Bai crushed Long Xue to death under one foot. He finally vented the sect's anger!"
"I saw long ago that Lin Bai was extraordinary, but I never expected him to defeat Long Xue with Ninth-Rank Dao God cultivation."
"What a fine seedling, what a fine seedling."
The Overturned Water Hall erupted in cheers.
Many elders excitedly slapped the table and rose to their feet. There was no doubt that Lin Bai's crushing Long Xue to death had salvaged some of the sect's dignity.
The Sect Master's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance. When she saw the white-robed man standing proudly atop the dragon's head in the image, the corners of her lips curved into a smile.
But soon, that smile vanished in a flash.
The Sect Master thought again of the way Lin Bai had haggled with her. Whenever she remembered it, her teeth itched with hatred.
"Why is this man so annoying..."
"He makes people happy and angry at the same time."
The Sect Master snorted coldly inwardly. Lin Bai had restored the sect's dignity, and she was extremely pleased.
But recalling how she had suffered in her negotiations with Lin Bai stirred anger toward him in her heart.
Some rejoiced while others worried.
Inside the Overturned Water Hall, the Grand Elder sat in his chair with a gloomy expression.
Seeing Li Yuanzong defeated and hung from the cliff wall in humiliation, the Grand Elder's expression had remained extremely ugly.
Everyone in the Chu Kingdom knew that Li Yuanzong was the disciple personally trained by the Grand Elder, and that the Tianshui Sect had been nurturing him as its Saint Son.
Li Yuanzong's defeat had not merely damaged the Tianshui Sect's dignity. It had also caused the Grand Elder to lose all face.
