Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 714: Shamelessness to the Extreme
He hugged the two delicate figures in his arms.
Said, "I have to handle some matters first."
"I’ll take some time to spend with you both later."
Xu Youran quickly nodded, "Husband, please go."
"The Pavilion Master’s orders cannot be neglected."
Jiang Fan nodded slightly.
He placed the two women down and headed towards Boundary Mountain.
The onlookers quickly swarmed around Jiang Fan as he left.
Many elders from various sects took the initiative to converse with him.
Even a few Supreme Elders were among them.
Watching him being surrounded like the moon among stars, Xu Youran’s eyes were filled with pride:
"Siling."
"Unknowingly, our husband has become a major figure."
Chen Silin’s eyes sparkled with stars.
"Isn’t it so?"
"The Pavilion Master personally gave him an order, among the Nine-Sect, our husband is unique."
Recalling when she first arrived at the Green Cloud Sect.
When people around her learned she was Jiang Fan’s concubine, they all showed a look of pity.
As if she lowered herself, wronged herself.
But now?
Who would dare belittle her?
Didn’t they see that even the Nine-Sect leader Gong Caiyi was enamored with Jiang Fan, yet had no official status?
And she was a concubine acknowledged by both Jiang Fan and Xu Youran.
Those women wishing to get close to Jiang Fan were too envious to act.
Jiang Fan, surrounded by countless admirers.
Ascended Boundary Mountain once more.
Atop the mountain, there were even more people.
The Nine-Sect Masters, Supreme Elders, Elders, and elite disciples were all present.
It was bustling, numbering over a thousand people.
Almost the full force of the Nine Sects was there.
The scene was spectacular.
"Jiang Fan!"
Just upon arrival, a shout filled with anger rang out.
Everyone’s expressions shifted slightly.
They hurriedly made way.
Jiang Fan’s return should have been a cause for joy.
The only sect unhappy, even angry at his survival, was but one.
The Giant Sect!
Kong Yuanba, leading a group of elders from the Giant Sect, lined up blocking Jiang Fan’s path.
Several Supreme Elders of the Giant Sect faintly appeared behind them.
As they looked at Jiang Fan, their eyes bore varying degrees of anger.
Kong Yuanba’s face was gloomy, "You have the nerve to come back?"
Having killed Fang Taiji, the loss to the Giant Sect was unspeakably severe.
Jiang Fan naturally knew what angered the Giant Sect.
With his hands behind his back, he calmly said:
"I eradicated a scourge for the Human Clan, sought justice for the falsely deceased elders of various sects."
"Why shouldn’t I come back?"
"As for your Giant Sect, how do you have the face to speak up when you produced such a shameless, despicable human traitor?"
"It’s truly turning the heavens upside down!"
With these words.
Several Supreme Elders from the Outer Sect were provoked.
Each was furious.
"Fang Taiji killed my Heavenly Sound Sect elder, and you say it has nothing to do with the Giant Sect."
"Yet when Jiang Fan returns, you angrily seek revenge for Fang Taiji!"
"When blame is needed, you hide; when revenge is sought, you jump out, right?"
"Since Sect Master Kong stands up for Fang Taiji, then provide an explanation for Fang Taiji killing my Thousand Refinement Sect elder!"
...
It’s not that they are overwhelmingly protective of Jiang Fan.
But the Giant Sect’s lack of integrity angered them.
Seeing more and more onlookers. freewebnøvel.com
Far exceeding the number from the Giant Sect.
The previously aggressive Giant Sect’s demeanor diminished.
When facing a single sect, the Giant Sect could naturally be overbearing and tyrannical.
But in confronting the anger of the other eight sects, they dared not act rashly.
Kong Yuanba glared angrily around him, "This is a personal grievance between my Giant Sect and Jiang Fan."
"If Fang Taiji killed your elders, go look for Fang Taiji!"
"Why involve my Giant Sect in this quarrel?"
This shameless response drew rebuking shouts from the crowd.
Jiang Fan laughed in anger as well.
"What grievance, let’s hear it."
Kong Yuanba scolded, "Of course it’s that Fang..."
He glanced around, having to correct himself:
"It’s... you injured my disciple Xue Wanchong."
"Isn’t that a personal grievance?"
Ha ha!
Jiang Fan laughed.
Desiring revenge for Fang Taiji but unable to find an appropriate excuse.
Bringing up outdated, trivial matters.
He leisurely said, "Fine, I won’t discuss the reasons."
"Let’s consider it a grievance."
"When I was captured by the Demon Emperor Court, the Demon Race wanted to kill me."
"But they felt that for a group of mighty ones, it was not honorable to kill a human junior, so they let juniors take action."
"I had such a great enmity with them, yet they were embarrassed to bully the weak with their strength."
"Yet you of the Giant Sect are willing to collectively trouble me over grievances between juniors."
"Let me see, those old fellows at the back, are they not Supreme Elders?"
"You of the Giant Sect, both the old and the young, really don’t care about saving face?"
His words drew hearty laughter from the crowd.
Applause burst forth.
"Well said! And you call yourselves the Upper Three Sects of the Nine?"
"Even more shameless than those uncivilized demon beasts!"
"It’s a shame our sect is grouped with the likes of the Giant Sect among the Nine Sects!"
"Let’s rename it to the Eight Sects, let the Giant Sect stand alone, it’s devaluing to be with you."
...
The ridicule from the crowd left the members of the Giant Sect red-faced.
They never expected to be humiliated like this.
Kong Yuanba, in anger and embarrassment, clenched his fists, "You little brat!"
"How dare you insult my Giant Sect!"
"I will not spare you!"
Jiang Fan stepped back two steps, gripping the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain.
Fearlessly said, "What you’ve done, can I not speak of it?"
"Moreover, what makes you think you can do anything to me?"
After his journey among the demons, Jiang Fan’s strength had massively transformed.
Kong Yuanba’s physique was probably equivalent to the Jiedan Eighth Layer cultivation.
Considering the Sect Master’s possible methods surpassing the usual Jiedan Eighth Layer, his strength was, at most, no more than the Jiedan Ninth Layer.
Might not necessarily be able to deal with Jiang Fan.
Kong Yuanba smiled angrily.
A Nine-Sect Master was being looked down upon by a junior like Jiang Fan?
"Arrogant brat!"
"Today I will discipline you on behalf of your elders!"
He channeled terrifying physical strength, gathered in his fist, to punch Jiang Fan.
This punch was fully powered.
Jiang Fan might not die but would definitely be heavily injured.
Clang——
But at this moment.
A fierce Sword Qi slashed towards his side from a slant!
Kong Yuanba’s punch aimed at Jiang Fan was suddenly redirected to strike the Sword Qi.
With a puff, the Sword Qi shattered.
"Who!"
Kong Yuanba roared angrily, glaring fiercely.
Daring to attack him.
But upon seeing, his expression changed slightly.
It was Li Qingfeng, an elder from the Green Cloud Sect!
Clutching a sword, his face was icy as he gritted his teeth, "Kong Yuanba!!!"
"Bullying my Green Cloud Sect disciples, no one present at Boundary Mountain, thus bullying our sect disciples?"
"Do you think I won’t lay hands on your disciples, is that it?"
He coldly swept his eyes toward the elite disciples of the Giant Sect.
Frightening them into shrinking their necks, hiding behind their elders.
Kong Yuanba was hateful, yet he hesitated.
He wasn’t afraid of Li Qingfeng.
A mere Seventh Level of Core Formation couldn’t make any waves among the strong in the Giant Sect.
He worried that if Li Qingfeng went mad, it might trigger chaos.
The observing Outer Sect strong ones had always harbored resentment toward the Giant Sect?
Who could guarantee that they wouldn’t take advantage of the chaos to secretly attack the Giant Sect’s elders and disciples?
And once it began, it might evolve into the Eight Sects besieging the Giant Sect!
This consequence, could the Giant Sect afford it?
But not killing Jiang Fan, what about the grudge for Fang Taiji?
The Giant Sect must not suffer loss.
Such a grievous enmity must not be endured!
Just then.
From a tent in the distance came Ye Cangyuan’s cold voice.
