Elder Tian Xu dragged the three peak leaders over and threw them onto the ground pathetically.
"I'm the peak leader of the Great Emperor Peak, one of the candidates for the Patriarch election. How can you treat us like this?" Zhan Hongdi stood up proudly. Even though he looked pathetic, his aura was still strong. "You said that we killed your disciple, but do you have any proof?"
Wan Zhongtian was the weakest among the ten peak leaders. He was also a genius, but under Elder Tian Xu's terrifying aura, he dared not say a word. He stood in the middle of the three peak leaders and lowered his head.
Jun Wutian tried to resist, but under Elder Tian Xu's pressure, he could only give up and let Elder Tian Xu grab him, sparing him any physical pain. But at this moment, Jun Wutian glared at Elder Tian Xu with fiery eyes. "According to the sect's rules, the three of us are candidates for the sect leader election. Other than the sect leader, no one can control us. Even Elder Tian Xu, you have no right to punish us, let alone attack us.
The surrounding disciples trembled in fear. This was the first time they had seen something like this ever since they entered the sect. A top elder of the sect was suppressing the three peak leaders at all costs.
The Ten Peaks of the Sect were all popular candidates for the Sect Leader Election. Their strength was formidable, and they were the role models for the disciples. In order to maintain the prestige of the Ten Peak Leaders in the hearts of the disciples, all the Elders of the Sect turned a blind eye to the actions of the Ten Peak Leaders. As long as they didn't cross the line, they would not question them.
But now, Elder Tian Xu had captured the three peak leaders like they were ants, regardless of the occasion. This shocked everyone. If the ten peak leaders were in the sect, Elder Tian Xu would have captured all of them without any hesitation.
If that happened, it would be really bad.
Huo Rong tried to persuade Tian Xu. "Tian Xu, that's enough. I'm afraid the Patriarch needs to make a decision. Now that all the disciples are here, we can't let them lose face."
"My disciple is dead. What face do they still have?" Tian Xu shouted. Killing intent could be seen in his eyes. It was obvious that he wanted to kill the three of them. As one of the top elders in the sect, no one dared to imagine that he would want to kill the Patriarch's disciple who was being selected.
"Since you don't want to admit it, that's fine. Let me see what kind of disgusting thoughts are hidden in your Spirit."
In an instant, the world suddenly shook, and the three of them felt as if their bodies had been imprisoned. The Stellar Energy in their bodies instantly froze, and they couldn't move at all.
Zhan Hongdi's eyes were wide open as he roared.
"How dare you!"
He did not expect Elder Tian Xu to want to search their souls. This was a huge humiliation to them. If they were not careful, their souls would be damaged and they would turn into idiots.
"The Grand Emperor has reappeared, his true body descending from the heavens."
Zhan Hongdi had goosebumps all over his body. He roared angrily and the earth energy in his body boiled. A monstrous aura burst out from every pore on his body. A huge figure that was not very solid appeared behind him. This figure was overflowing with battle intent like a god of war. It was wearing golden armor and holding a heaven-defying divine weapon. Its powerful aura shrouded heaven and earth.
"This is half a step into the Heavenly Dipper Realm, condensing the Heavenly Dipper True Body." Elder Huo Rong was shocked, but at the same time, he was relieved. Finally, a disciple was about to break through to the Heaven Star Border. This was a blessing for the sect.
At the same time, Jun Wutian would not sit still and wait for his death. He stopped hiding his strength and unleashed it all.
"Lawless, Heaven and Earth."
Elder Huo Rong was shocked once again. He did not expect Jun Wutian to have reached this level as well. His aura was even stronger than Zhan Hongdi's.
Nothing must happen to these disciples. Nothing must happen to them.
"Tian Xu, stop." Without any hesitation, Elder Huo Rong grabbed the air, trying to block Tian Xu's attack. However, his expression changed immediately. Tian Xu's attack was nullified in an instant, and he could feel an endless amount of energy gushing towards him. Tian Xu had made a move against him.
Bang!
Bang!
Two earth-shattering explosions could be heard. Zhan Hongdi and Jun Wutian's Heaven Star Body were destroyed in an instant. They turned into the purest earth energy and returned to their bodies.
Their eyes were wide open, and their hearts were pounding.
In their eyes, a finger was like the hand of God, sealing the time and space around them. They could only move when the finger landed on them.
Suddenly, a voice could be heard coming from the deepest part of the sect. It was as if time and space had been destroyed.
"Tian Xu, that's enough."
The voice was filled with power, and no one dared to disobey it. At the same time, the three peak leaders felt their bodies relax. The pressure on them had disappeared completely.
They took a few steps back and looked at Tian Xu warily. They did not expect Tian Xu to really attack them.
Elder Huo Rong heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the deepest part of the sect. He knew that the Patriarch had made a move.
If the Patriarch did not make a move, something big would happen. These disciples were the future of the sect, and they could not die in the hands of their own people.
Tian Xu was too impulsive. As the top elder of the sect, how could he disregard his identity in front of the disciples? Wouldn't he disappoint the disciples?
"That's not enough. They killed my disciple. How can I let this matter rest?" Elder Tian Xu said, showing no signs of backing down.
Wan Zhongtian immediately knelt on the ground. "Patriarch, please understand. Disciple Wan Zhongtian really did not kill Junior Brother Lin."
Wan Zhongtian was on the verge of tears. He had no idea what had happened. Ever since he met Lin Fan, nothing good had ever happened to him. The last time he knelt in the inner sect, he was humiliated. He had wanted to focus on his cultivation, but now, he was dragged out of the mountain by Elder Tian Xu and embarrassed in front of his junior brothers. Why was he the one to take the blame for everything that had happened?
"Tian Xu, I'm aware of this matter. Someone sent four first-class inner disciples to kill your disciple, but they were all killed by the Divine Religion's Ming You. Our sect has already lost five disciples."
"Senior Brother, are you trying to protect them?" Anger could be seen in Tian Xu's eyes. He knew what his Senior Brother was thinking, but he did not care. Anyone who dared to kill his disciple had to die.
"Tian Xu, how can you speak to the Patriarch like this?" Huo Rong frowned.
Jun Wutian and Zhan Hongdi heaved a sigh of relief, but they still kowtowed to Tian Xu. "Patriarch, as the ten peak leaders of the sect, we love our Junior Brother very much. We would never do such a thing to harm our Junior Brother. Patriarch, please understand."
"We know the pain of Elder Tian Xu losing his disciple. Disciple is willing to accept the fact that our peak was destroyed."
Tian Xu looked at the two with killing intent. But he knew that the Patriarch would not be able to kill them today. But he would not let this matter rest.
"Good, good. Senior Brother will protect you today, but remember this. As long as you take a step out of the sect, I will make sure you die with my disciple."
"The rest of my life is in the hands of the three of you."
Overbearing, fierce, and fearless.
Jun Wutian and Zhan Hongdi shuddered at Tian Xu's words. They did not expect Elder Tian Xu to disregard his status as an elder and say such words in front of so many disciples.
The Patriarch sighed. He was Tian Xu's senior and junior brother, and he shouldn't have said such words as an elder of the sect. However, he knew Tian Xu's temper well. Even after a few decades, Tian Xu's temper hadn't changed. It was just that Tian Xu had decided to explode today, and no one could stop him from doing so.
The surrounding disciples trembled in fear. Elder Tian Xu's words had scared them so much that their faces turned pale. They looked at the three of them, feeling sad for them.
They could forget about leaving the sect in the future. With Elder Tian Xu watching over them, they would definitely die if they left the sect.
Furthermore, they did not doubt that Elder Tian Xu was joking. If they left the sect, they would really die.
"Hmph!" Tian Xu snorted and left, but he kept his perception on the three of them.
Jun Wutian and the rest felt the aura, and their faces turned pale. They did not expect things to turn out this way.
They believed that Elder Tian Xu wasn't joking. He was really going to kill them.
But among the three of them, two of them felt that they were innocent. They even hated the guy who sent his disciples to kill Lin Fan.
