The two of them didn't go to Xie Zhixiu directly. Instead, they went to find Instructor Yang and the others. After they formed a group, they went to Xie Zhixiu's tent together.
Xie Zhixiu didn't come to participate in the battle, but to supervise it. The Nine Star Sword School's Sect Master also wouldn't participate in the battle. After all, they were Sect Masters. Unless the sect's survival was threatened, they wouldn't fight to the death. This was also one of the reasons why Zhang Sanyu didn't like Xie Zhixiu. Since Xie Zhixiu didn't want to participate in the battle, what was he doing here?
The group soon arrived in front of Xie Zhixiu's tent. A Deacon who was guarding the door immediately came to greet them. He wanted to ask Zhang Sanyu and the others to wait while he went to inform Xie Zhixiu.
However, Zhang Sanyu didn't even look at him. He walked forward and casually pushed open the tent's curtain and walked in. Yang Yi, Lu Xuan, and the others followed closely behind. Only Zhang Sanyu dared to do this. Even Instructor Yang was under Xie Zhixiu's control.
Xie Zhixiu was reading an ancient book when he suddenly saw a group of people barging in without even greeting him. A trace of anger flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it. He put down the ancient book in his hand and said with a smile, "You're all here. Sit, don't be shy."
Putting aside Xie Zhixiu's style of conduct, his attitude was indeed impeccable. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone present knew what kind of person Xie Zhixiu was, they might really think that the Sect Master was very competent. At the very least, he was courteous to the wise. However, it was also because of this that everyone was deceived by Xie Zhixiu's appearance and let him take the position of Sect Master.
Zhang Sanyu didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down firmly and said, "Lord Sect Master isn't in the sect to oversee the overall situation. May I know why you're here?"
"Hehe, the Elders and countless disciples are fighting on the front line. How can I stay out of it? Naturally, I need to fight alongside everyone." Xie Zhixiu said with a smile.
"Oh? Does Sect Master mean that you want to participate in the battle with us? This is also good. Lord Sect Master is very powerful. As long as Sect Master can defeat the Nine Star Sword School's Sect Master, we will win this battle. I, Zhang Sanyu, would like to thank Sect Master on behalf of everyone here. "Zhang Sanyu smiled and cupped his hands towards Xie Zhixiu.
Hearing Zhang Sanyu's words, Xie Zhixiu cursed in his heart. Since when did he say he was going to participate in the battle? The Patriarch of the Nine Star Sword Sect was an existence that was half a step into the Origin Realm. If they were to fight, it was hard to say who would be the winner. As the Patriarch of the Wind Sword School, how could he be willing to risk his life?
He forced a smile and said, "Captain Zhang, you've misunderstood. I've made an agreement with Nine Star Sword Sect's Sect Master Qiu that neither side is allowed to take action to prevent him from disregarding his status and attacking everyone. The main reason I came here this time is to coordinate the overall situation and see how the battle is going."
Xie Zhixiu didn't want Zhang Sanyu to continue talking about this matter. He immediately looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Lu Xuan, I'm relieved to see that you're fine. If something happened to you, it would be a great loss to my Wind Sword School."
Lu Xuan cupped his hands towards Xie Zhixiu and said, "Thank you for Sect Master's concern. However, I didn't die in the hands of the Nine Star Sword Sect, but almost died in the hands of my own people. I hope Sect Master can uphold justice."
If it was before, Lu Xuan would still give some face to Xie Zhixiu. However, the deacon that Xie Zhixiu sent actually wanted to barge into his tent and disturb him while he was condensing the Earth Divine Rune. It almost caused him to fail and might even be seriously injured. If it wasn't for Zhang Sanyu's timely arrival, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, Lu Xuan had to take revenge.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They didn't know how Lu Xuan could be so bold as to go against Xie Zhixiu.
Zhang Sanyu was slightly stunned. Then, he revealed a trace of a smile. He knew that Lu Xuan was talking about what happened before they entered the tent. In his heart, he admired Lu Xuan even more. This kid is really to my liking! Young people should be like this. If there's a grudge, one must take revenge! If one swallowed the insult, others would really think that one was easy to bully. Of course, one must have the ability to take revenge, but now, Lu Xuan was fully qualified to do so!
As a direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, just this identity alone made him unparalleled. Although Zhang Sanyu dared to be arrogant in front of Xie Zhixiu because he was sure that Xie Zhixiu couldn't do anything to him, if he were to face an Elder of the Profound Ice Pavilion, Zhang Sanyu wouldn't dare to provoke him. Not to mention, Lu Xuan's backer was Zhao Ying, one of the three Great Elders of the Profound Ice Pavilion.
In terms of strength, Lu Xuan also had the ability to be arrogant. Based on his achievement of killing He Yi, he could have a place among the many Elders. Moreover, his status wasn't low.
Xie Zhixiu's face slightly sank. Previously, the deacon had already reported to him what happened. He thought that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that Lu Xuan would openly challenge him in front of so many people!
It was fine if Zhang Sanyu didn't give him face, but Xie Zhixiu could bear it. After all, Zhang Sanyu was a Law Enforcement Elder and had a lot of autonomy. He also had a large number of Spirit Refinement Realm warriors under him. But now, who was this Lu Xuan? He was just a disciple. Although he had the status of a direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, he wasn't a true direct disciple. How dare he embarrass him?
The tent suddenly became very quiet. Zhang Sanyu looked at Xie Zhixiu with a smile, wanting to see how he would deal with it. Instructor Yang also had a smile on his face. He knew that Zhao Ying liked Lu Xuan very much. If Xie Zhixiu really dared to challenge Lu Xuan, he would have to use Zhao Ying to suppress him. The rest of the Spirit Refinement Realm warriors kept glancing at Lu Xuan and Xie Zhixiu's faces. A trace of a smile flashed in their eyes. They all came to see Xie Zhixiu make a fool of himself. One could imagine how unpopular Xie Zhixiu was.
Xie Zhixiu's index finger tapped on the table. After a while, he laughed and said, "Died in the hands of our own people? I don't know where this came from? It should be a misunderstanding, right? "
"Misunderstanding?" The corner of Lu Xuan's mouth curled up, revealing a sneer as he said, "As everyone knows, in order to practice a Secret Technique, I have been staying in my tent for two days. When I was at a critical juncture in my practice, a Deacon suddenly came to disturb me. He even threatened to break in and interrupt my practice. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding? Oh, that's right, he also used Lord Sovereign's name, but I don't think Lord Sovereign would do such a thing, I suspect … he is a spy sent by the Nine Star Sword Sect, and wants to take the opportunity to make a move on me! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone went into an uproar. The cultivators who didn't know what was going on now understood. Everyone was indignant. No matter what the Deacon wanted to do, as cultivators, they all knew that it was taboo to disturb a cultivator. This was also the reason why almost all cultivators had a quiet room in their residences. But the Deacon clearly knew that Lu Xuan was cultivating, yet he still wanted to break in. This was simply a deliberate murder!
"Sir Sovereign, I suggest that we immediately arrest that Deacon and strictly interrogate him to find out why he wanted to murder Lu Xuan."
"Yes, Lu Xuan has a promising future and amazing strength. Two days ago, he slaughtered nearly a hundred disciples of the Nine Star Sword Sect by himself. The Nine Star Sword Sect has long regarded him as a thorn in their side. Maybe he really was bought by the Nine Star Sword Sect."
…
All the cultivators spoke out one after another, calling for the Deacon to be severely punished. Xie Zhixiu's face was gloomy. He naturally knew that he should hand over the Deacon at this time, but if he did so, what prestige would he have as Sect Master? If he couldn't even protect his own trusted aide, who would dare to work for him in the future?
"Why don't we capture him first and detain him later? I believe that our sect's Deacon would never be bribed by the Nine Star Sword School. Moreover, it was indeed me who sent him to invite Lu Xuan. However, he was the one who barged into the tent, and it was absolutely not my order. " Xie Zhixiu considered for a moment and chose a compromise plan, which was to show his protective side so that his trusted aide wouldn't be bitterly disappointed, and at the same time, impose a certain punishment to appease the public's anger.
Zhang Sanyu slowly stood up and said, "I can testify for this matter. That Deacon indeed wanted to break into the tent. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that Lu Xuan would have been seriously injured and would no longer be able to fight. Whether he did it on purpose or not, I think we should give Lu Xuan an explanation, at least … we should strip him of his Deacon status and expel him from the Wind Sword School!"
Having said that, Zhang Sanyu didn't care about Xie Zhixiu's reaction and directly shouted the names of the two martial artists, "You two, go and capture that Deacon, strip him of his Deacon status, take back his identity nameplate, and expel him from the Sect!"
"Yes!" The two law enforcement team members cupped their fists at the same time and left.
"Stop!" Xie Zhixiu was finally annoyed. Zhang Sanyu's actions were too disrespectful to him. He coldly looked at Zhang Sanyu and said, "Captain Zhang, shouldn't you at least ask for my opinion as the Sect Master?"
Zhang Sanyu fearlessly looked at Xie Zhixiu and said, "Sect Master is very busy every day, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. This is the responsibility of our law enforcement team. Sir Sect Master wouldn't want to interfere with our duties, right?"
When he mentioned the law enforcement team, Zhang Sanyu deliberately emphasized his tone. The law enforcement team had existed since the founding of the Wind Sword School. They only listened to the law enforcement captain and were not under the jurisdiction of the Sect Master. If Xie Zhixiu dared to interfere in this matter, then they had even more reason to overthrow Xie Zhixiu as the Sect Master!
"You!" Xie Zhixiu glared angrily at Zhang Swordyu, and he forcefully restrained his rage after a short while. He sneered and said, "Very well, since it's within the scope of the law enforcement team's responsibility, then we'll do as Captain Zhang says!"
Zhang Sanyu curled his lips and said, "Did you hear what the Sect Master said? Hurry up and capture that Deacon. "
The two law enforcement captains didn't stay any longer and left directly. Xie Zhixiu had suffered a crushing defeat in the first confrontation.
However, Xie Zhixiu wasn't a good-tempered person. After seeing Zhang Sanyu's method of forcing him to abdicate, he no longer maintained his previous amiable appearance. With a cold expression, he sat back down and shouted, "Yang Yi, do you know your crime?!"
After hearing this, everyone understood that Xie Zhixiu was finally going to fight back.
