The Immortal Taoist Chapter 47

Chapter 47 - No one is allowed to act recklessly

At this critical moment, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin finally rushed back, and the moment he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of everyone present. The expressions of the ten elders all sank. They already had a bad premonition.

All the elders could tell that Zhuang Xin was highly appreciative of the outer sect disciples who presided over the compet.i.tion this time around. Now that Zhuang Xin had spoken and stopped them, it was clear that they were on Ling Dao's side.

"Zhuang Xin, you can't say it, can you say it?"

Just as Duan Zhenghui was worrying that there was nothing he could do, he suddenly heard Zhuang Xin's objections, causing him to heave a sigh of relief secretly. The ten elders teamed up to suppress Ling Dao, so he couldn't be too arbitrary. After all, these ten elders' seniority could be considered old.

"Of course there is a reason. However, this reason can only be told to the sect head alone. I ask for your permission!"

The less people knew about the super talents, the better. He had already instructed Ling Dao before to never tell this matter to anyone else. The two clan elders were even less willing to talk, if not Zhuang Xin would never be merciful.

"Vice Sect Leader, isn't this a bit too much?"

"What reason is there that we cannot know?"

In the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Sect Master Duan Zhenghui was a bit cowardly and indecisive, but it was Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin who was extremely a.s.sertive. If Duan Zhenghui was strong enough, even if the ten elders talked too much, they would not be able to affect him. After all, he was the sect master of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

"You two don't have the right to interrupt when this Vice Sect Master and this Sect Master are talking, do you? You group of elders, instead of disciplining your disciples properly and raising the power of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, you're actually joining forces here to suppress an outer disciple. Don't you think that's too embarra.s.sing? "

Zhuang Xin coldly said, but and the other elders tactfully shut their mouths. The status of an elder was naturally inferior to that of a Vice Sect Master, not to mention that Zhuang Xin's realm was even higher than theirs. No matter if it was strength or position, they could not compare to Zhuang Xin.

"Alright, come with me!"

Fortunately, Duan Zhenghui trusted Zhuang Xin very much. With Zhuang Xin's expression being so serious, something big must have happened, if not Zhuang Xin would not be like this. Duan Zhenghui stood up from his seat and walked into the inner hall with Zhuang Xin.

"You didn't say anything. What exactly did the Vice Sect Master want to say? Why does it feel like he's very confident? "

"It's okay, he's not the only vice sect master of my Sky-splitting Sword Sect. At worst, I can just go and ask the other vice sect masters to seek justice for us!"

The ten elders had extremely broad networks and connections. Duan Zhenghui had already wavered earlier, so they naturally could not let go of such a great opportunity. However, they had not moved yet. They would wait for Duan Zhenghui's reaction first.

"Zhuang Xin, what reason do you have to not tell those elders and instead tell this sect master in private? As you can see, the ten elders have made up their minds to deal with that outer court disciple. This sect master doesn't want to do this either, but in the end, there must be a choice.

Duan Zhenghui's words, however, made Zhuang Xin frown. Fortunately he had come in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Duan Zhenghui already had the thought of dealing with Ling Dao, if he did not stop him, Sky-splitting Sword Sect would definitely force him into a corner.

"I can only say that even if I have to kill those ten elders, I must protect Ling Dao. Sect Head, which of the ten elders do you think is more important than a disciple with superior talent? "

Zhuang Xin's words were just a metaphor, naturally, he wouldn't really kill the ten elders. He was only trying to show that the value of those ten elders could not be compared to Ling Dao. If a youth with superior talent were to mature, he would definitely be able to support the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect, and even lead it to glory!

"What?" You mean to say, that outer court disciple has superior natural talent? "

Even Duan Zhenghui was shocked. In all the years the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had been established, there had never been an exceptional genius with superior talent. He naturally knew how rare a genius with superior talent was, he never thought that a tenth ranked power like his Sky-splitting Sword Sect would actually appear.

"That's right, I tested Ling Dao personally. I have already sealed off the news, this matter must not be revealed to anyone else. Even if it's those ten elders, they would still have to hide it from us. If this is spread out, the other powers will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing! "

After obtaining Zhuang Xin's confirmation, Duan Zhenghui also made a decision. Since Ling Dao possessed superior apt.i.tude, then he naturally could not allow those ten elders to cause trouble. Just a high level talent like Xia Xinyao had garnered a lot of attention, so how could she possibly be an exceptional genius with a high level talent?

Very quickly, the two of them walked out, and Duan Zhenghui once again sat on his seat. The ten elders' eyes swept across Duan Zhenghui and his body, but could not find any clues.

"Grand master, are we able to move now?"

Xiao Yashuang was the first to speak. Everyone understood the meaning behind her actions. If it was before, Duan Zhenghui might have nodded his head, but after knowing that Ling Dao was an extremely talented person, he definitely would not have allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

"Elder Xiao, this sect master advises you to restrain your emotions. Since that kid has already obtained first place, then all the rewards should be his. No one is allowed to s.n.a.t.c.h them away. The rest of you, listen up. The Qi Condensation Pill and the Inferior Sword Style are all that brat's.

Duan Zhenghui said with absolute determination, there was no doubt that the first peerless genius in the history of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, naturally, would not make any mistakes. If it was not because she did not want to show off too much, Duan Zhenghui would definitely want to take Ling Dao as his disciple.

"Sect Master, my disciple Xin Yao has superior talent and is extremely rare. She should be given this kind of good item called Qi Condensation Pill. "What's more, Xin Yao is even a water spirit. Could it be that Sect Master doesn't care at all?"

If Xiao Yashuang had mentioned superior talent earlier, Duan Zhenghui would have hesitated, but unfortunately, he was completely incapable of doing so now. The difference between a superior talent and an exceptional one was like heaven and earth. Duan Zhenghui naturally knew how to choose between the two.

"How about this, I, Sect Leader, will bestow a Qi Condensation Pill to your disciple. After she becomes an inner disciple, I can give her a Inferior Sword Style to cultivate in. "Let's drop this matter and not bring it up again!"

Duan Zhenghui waved his sleeves, no longer caring about the expressions of the ten elders, and turned to leave the place. Zhuang Xin smiled and nodded, this was the result he wanted. The ten great elders would definitely deal with Ling Dao secretly, but did not mind.

"If they want to deal with you, it's equivalent to training you. I believe that you definitely will not be defeated by them. True experts always come out from blood and flames! "

Zhuang Xin did not linger either, the only ones left were the ten elders with ugly expressions. Since the grand master had already given the order, they naturally did not dare to disobey.
