It was a fact that Xu Yi had beaten Jun Wuxie in public. If the sect rules were applied, Xu Yi was bound to lose.
True Man Scarlet Fire knew, of course, that Xu Yi would never accept defeat, so he had hurriedly told him to leave. It would be best to drag the matter out. Who could have guessed that this lord would indeed leave—but take Jun Wuxie with him?
The Grievance Drum had made quite a racket. By now, a crowd of elders was hurrying over. How could Xu Yi possibly get away so easily while taking someone with him?
Sure enough, before long, numerous elders and dozens of Inner Sect Disciples came rushing from every direction. The strange thing was, Xu Yi was nowhere to be seen.
True Man Scarlet Fire marveled inwardly. What kind of escape art could let someone slip out of such a tight encirclement?
While he was still wondering, everyone had gathered in front of the hall. They all asked who had struck the Grievance Drum.
The sect was usually quiet. Even a bit of chaos was rare entertainment, let alone an earthshaking event like the Grievance Drum being struck.
True Man Scarlet Fire was immediately in a bind. He wanted to suppress the matter, but he needed an excuse. He couldn't very well say that the drum had sounded on its own.
Nor could he say that the person had vanished after striking the drum.
That would be even more absurd than claiming the drum had sounded by itself.
Just as True Man Scarlet Fire was scratching his head, a figure came flying from far away, weaving somewhat unsteadily through the air. Who else could it be but Jun Wuxie?
Jun Wuxie landed and cupped his fists toward True Man Scarlet Fire.
