After sighing, Elder Fang did not say anything else. Under Lin Xinyi's lead, she headed straight for the Sword Pavilion.
At that moment, the disciples of the Sword Faction had also discovered the identity of the group of people behind Elder Fang. They were all disciples of the Saber Faction and the Fist Faction. However, all of them had bruises on their faces and their hands were tightly bound as if they were tied up by an invisible rope.
How could they not know what was going on when they saw this scene? It was obvious that Elder Fang had used some sort of method to capture the group of disciples. At that moment, everyone naturally took pleasure in her misfortune.
When Elder Fang and the others arrived at the Sword Pavilion, Elder Cheng and the other two were already there. The three elders were shocked when they received the disciple's report. They did not know why the people from the Demon Enchanting Hall would suddenly visit. However, the Demon Enchanting Hall was on equal footing with the inner sect. As the Deputy Hall Master of the Demon Enchanting Hall, Elder Fang's status was even higher than Elder Cheng's. Even though they were shocked, they did not dare to be negligent.
"Elder Fang, it's been a long time since we last met. You're still as elegant as ever. It's really an honor for you to visit my Sword Faction today." Elder Cheng laughed and made small talk.
"Haha, Elder Cheng's aura is also unfathomable now. I guess your strength has improved again. It's a little abrupt for me to visit you so suddenly." Elder Fang also cupped his fists in a polite manner.
Elder Cheng was immediately relieved when he saw Elder Fang's attitude. Obviously, the people who came were friends and not enemies. The Sword Faction was currently being targeted by the Saber Faction and the Fist Faction. If the Demon Enchanting Hall was added into the mix, he would really be in a terrible situation.
Elder Cheng immediately went straight to the point and asked, "May I know why Elder Fang has suddenly come to visit this time? And what's the matter with the disciples of the Saber Faction and the Fist Faction? "
Elder Fang did not beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm here on Lu Xuan's request to help send Martial Niece Lin back safely. As for this group of disciples, they dared to offend me. I had no choice but to capture them as punishment."
When Elder Cheng heard that, a hint of joy flashed across his face. He had naturally noticed Lin Xinyi, who was standing behind Elder Fang. However, due to Elder Fang being present, it was inappropriate for him to ask her about it right away. He did not expect Elder Fang to send Lin Xinyi back this time, and he was entrusted by Lu Xuan to do so!
This time, Lu Xuan had truly shocked him. Lu Xuan had only been in the sect for less than half a year, yet he was already connected to the Enchanting Hall. Furthermore, he was able to get someone like Elder Fang to lend a hand. It was truly incredible. However, what Elder Fang said next made Elder Cheng even more shocked.
"I've heard about the disturbance that Lu Xuan has caused. It's a pity that the Hall Master is not here for the time being. Otherwise, how could a mere Saber Faction be so arrogant?"
The meaning of Elder Fang's words was very obvious. If the Hall Master was not here, it would not be him but the Hall Master of the Demon Enchanting Hall, Chen Mo. His status was equivalent to the Deputy Hall Master. A mere Saber Faction would not dare to be arrogant in front of him.
"I see. However, I wonder what makes Lu Xuan worthy of the Hall Master's help?" Elder Cheng asked doubtfully. Although Lu Xuan had quite a reputation in the Inner Sect, it was not enough to catch the Hall Master's attention.
Elder Fang smiled when he heard that. He stroked his beard and said, "Lu Xuan is the Hall Master's registered disciple and is also considered a core disciple of the Demon Enchanting Hall. There is no reason for the Hall Master not to help him. Speaking of which, Lu Xuan's talent in Talisman Dao is quite extraordinary. Previously, the Hall Master wanted him to leave the Inner Sect and enter the Demon Enchanting Hall, but he refused and insisted on staying in the Sword Faction to repay Elder Xu's kindness. This child's temperament is rare!"
In front of Elder Cheng and the others, Elder Fang was not stingy with his praise.
As soon as he said that, Elder Cheng and the others turned to look at Elder Xu who was behind them. Elder Xu's face blushed, but he was also quite gratified. As expected, Lu Xuan was a man of his word. Compared to the identity of an Inner Sect disciple of the Sword Faction, the favor of the Demon Enchanting Hall was undoubtedly more attractive.
Xia Ye, Xing Feng, and Lin Tian who were beside Elder Cheng were even more shocked. They did not expect that not only was Lu Xuan's strength shocking, but he also cultivated Talisman Dao. Especially Xia Ye and Xing Feng, although they knew that Lu Xuan had stayed in the Demon Enchanting Hall for a long time, they did not know that he had such an identity.
As for Lin Tian, he admired Lu Xuan from the bottom of his heart. He did not expect that Lu Xuan did not only cultivate wholeheartedly in those three months, but also went to the Demon Enchanting Hall. If he used all his time to cultivate Sword Dao, wouldn't his strength be even more powerful?
"I did not expect Lu Xuan to have such a fortuitous encounter. It is his fortune to be valued by the Hall Master." Elder Cheng nodded his head, feeling extremely happy in his heart. With this relationship, the Demon Enchanting Hall would definitely stand on the Sword Faction's side. With the Demon Enchanting Hall as an ally, he would not be afraid even if the Blade Faction and Fist Faction joined forces.
Then, he continued to ask, "If that's the case, then Lu Xuan should be in the Demon Enchanting Hall now, right?"
This time, Elder Fang was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he looked at Chen Xiaohan and Lin Xinyi, who were the last to come into contact with Lu Xuan.
Lin Xinyi was about to speak, but she hesitated for a moment. She looked at the disciples of the Blade Faction and Fist Faction who were tied up behind her.
Elder Fang immediately understood. With a flick of his finger, he set up a formation. It was a soundproof formation. Since he was an expert in formations, he naturally knew about them. Moreover, this soundproof formation was not considered a profound formation.
Seeing that Elder Fang had isolated the sound, Lin Xinyi then said, "Lu Xuan is worried that the Blade Faction and Fist Faction will not let this matter go. If he stays, he will implicate the elders of the Sword Faction. Therefore, he has already left the Wind Sword School and said that he wants to take this opportunity to explore the outside world."
Elder Cheng's brows couldn't help but knit together when he heard this, and he said, "What nonsense! The world outside is extremely complicated, and he's unable to guarantee his safety with his current strength. Moreover, if my Sword Sect can't even protect its own disciple, then what's the point of our existence?"
Before this, perhaps Elder Cheng did not dare to boast that he could protect Lu Xuan. However, now that the Enchantment Hall had joined the alliance, his confidence had undoubtedly increased greatly. No matter what, he could protect Lu Xuan. At that time, when Elder Jin and Hall Master Chen Mo returned, who would dare to touch Lu Xuan?
However, Elder Fang laughed and said, "Elder Cheng, you are wrong. How can an eagle that is protected by its parents fight in the sky? This time, Lu Xuan has gone out to explore the outside world, and he must have gained a lot. When he returns, he will definitely surprise us."
Elder Cheng nodded slightly. He agreed with what Elder Fang said. He was only worried about Lu Xuan's safety. After thinking for a while, he asked Lin Xinyi again, "Did Lu Xuan say when he will return?"
"Lu Xuan said that since he promised Elder Xu that he would help the Sword Faction seize the first, then the day of the Sect Competition will be the day he returns!"
Xia Ye and the others were instantly overjoyed when they heard this. Presently, Lu Xuan's strength was sufficient to kill Xu Wenyang, so how formidable would his strength be when he returns during the Sect Competition? They simply didn't dare imagine it.
Elder Cheng even roared with laughter and said, "As expected of a proud disciple of my Sword Faction, Lu Xuan! Then I'll be waiting for his return!"
After they confirmed Lu Xuan's whereabouts, they felt at ease. Even though they didn't know how Lu Xuan would be during his tempering outside the Sect Competition, he was safe for now at least.
After Elder Fang removed the soundproof formation, Elder Cheng looked at the disciples of the Blade and Fist Sects who were in a sorry state and asked, "Elder Fang, how are you going to deal with these disciples?"
Elder Fang glanced at the disciples and snorted coldly, "I've already sent someone to inform the elders of the Blade and Fist Sects, and we'll wait for them to come to the Sword Faction to get them back. Since they dared to force the core disciples of my Enchanting Hall to leave, if I don't warn them, they'll really think that my Enchanting Hall is made of mud. Moreover, since I've promised Lu Xuan to protect Martial Nephew Lin, I naturally won't allow them to mess around."
The current situation of the Enchanting Hall wasn't considered good, but that was for the core disciples of the Wind Sword School. For the nine branch sects of the inner sect, it wasn't something that they could easily offend.
Since Elder Fang had the intention to step forward, Elder Cheng was naturally rather happy. He immediately invited Elder Fang to sit down, and then an attendant served tea. They chatted while waiting for the disciples of the Blade and Fist Sects to arrive.
The crowd didn't have to wait for long. Not long after, a commotion was heard, and a few figures barged in at the same time. The disciples of the Sword Faction couldn't stop them at all.
As the few people barged in, a scolding voice was heard at the same time, "Who's so daring to capture the disciples of my Blade Sect!"
At this moment, the few people who barged in had already stood still. There was a total of six of them, and they were the elders of the Blade Sect and Fist Sect. The person who had spoken earlier was the Great Elder of the Blade Sect, Elder Yu.
They came with ill intentions!
Elder Cheng and Elder Fang stood up at the same time. Elder Fang even glanced coldly at Elder Yu and the others who barged in, and said directly, "I was the one who captured them. What do you want?"
Elder Yu instantly frowned when he heard this. The people who captured him actually dared to be so arrogant. However, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw that the person who spoke was Elder Fang.
Earlier, when he received a report from a disciple that someone had captured members of the Blade Sect and asked him to go to the Sword Sect to get them back, he was naturally furious, and he immediately charged over with the other two elders of the Blade Sect. He was just worrying about not having a chance to make a move against the Sword Sect, and this was undoubtedly an extremely good opportunity. However, he never expected that it wasn't a member of the Sword Sect who did it, but a member of the Demon Enchanting Hall instead. Moreover, it was Elder Fang whose status was only inferior to the Hall Master.
For a time, he could only swallow the furious shout that was about to come out of his mouth, and he bowed to Elder Fang as he said, "I never expected that Elder Fang would actually pay a visit. May I know what mistakes these disciples of mine have committed?"
"What mistakes have they committed? Hmph! I never expected that the disciples of your Blade Sect would actually be so overbearing after I haven't come out for a long time. After I announced my identity, they actually dared to use weapons against me. How should they be punished for offending an elder!? "
According to the rules of the Wind Sword School, offending an elder would result in a light punishment of expulsion from the sect, and a heavy punishment would result in the crippling of one's strength!
The captured disciples were instantly shocked when Elder Fang put such a heavy punishment on them, and the expressions of the elders of the Blade Sect and Fist Sect who had just arrived changed as well.
