"Guo Shan, don't think you can yell in front of me just because you're an alchemist! If you want to protect this evil man, don't tell me you're going to turn into an evil cultivator as well!"
Fan Zhongtang was furious as well. With his status, being scolded as shameless in front of so many people made him angry. Besides, he was determined to help his grandson get rid of Jiang Chen.
"Cut the crap! If anyone dares to touch Jiang Chen today, I'll be the first one to stop them!"
With a sway of his body, Guo Shan stood in front of Jiang Chen. It looked like if Fan Zhongtang decided to attack, Guo Shan would have to fight him.
Jiang Chen remained expressionless. Although today's situation had exceeded his expectations, it wasn't beyond his control. If Guo Shan and Fan Zhongtang couldn't win, Daoist Black would definitely step in.
"Enough!"
Indeed, just like what Jiang Chen had expected, right after Guo Shan's words left his mouth, a stern voice sounded out from within the Black Sect. After that, a golden beam shot out from Palace Black's direction.
The golden beam arrived at the outer circle training field and swept across all the wooden stakes. In an instant, all the wooden stakes were shattered, along with the ropes. All the people who were tied to the wooden stakes fell down from the sky. Not only did the golden beam shatter the wooden stakes, it even unsealed Jiang Chen's Qi Sea.
"Sect Chief!"
At the same time, Fan Zhong Tang bowed towards the direction of Palace Black. The cold shout and the golden beam just now were all done by Daoist Black. As the leader of the Black Sect, one of the four most powerful men in the Qi Province, no one dared show any disrespect to Daoist Black.
"Oh heavens, even the Sect Chief is here! It was just a small matter in the outer circle, but now, even the Sect Chief is here!"
"The situation is getting out of control! If the Sect Chief doesn't show up now, we won't be able to suppress it anymore!"
"Jiang Chen has really turned the Black Sect upside down today, he has created a huge storm!"
Everyone was shocked. In the eyes of everyone in the Black Sect, Daoist Black was a supreme existence, and he was respected by countless people.
After that, a middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe arrived from the sky. He stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. His black hair was fluttering in the wind, and a dignified expression could be seen on his face. He was Daoist Black, the Old Great Emperor of the Black Sect.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
All the disciples on the training ground bowed and greeted Daoist Black. From Fan Zhong Tang and Guo Shan to the ordinary novitiate disciples, all of them were showing their respect towards Daoist Black. If one were to ask who was the most mysterious person in the Black Sect, Daoist Black would definitely be the most mysterious. He rarely showed himself in all the matters that happened in the Black Sect, so perhaps only Jiang Chen had the ability to do so.
"Speak. I'll give you a chance to explain."
Daoist Black said with a cruel expression. He glanced at Fan Zhong Tang and Guo Shan, and more importantly, at Fan Kun and Jiang Chen.
"Alliance Chief, Jiang Chen bullied the outer circle disciples, and he even hung up an outer circle Sect Elder. This is an audacious act that has never happened before in the history of the Black Sect. He is insane and lawless, and everyone here has witnessed this. Besides, Jiang Chen killed his fellow disciples, and he used deadly poison to kill Jiang Wei. This is a cruel and brutal way of doing things, it is exactly what an evil man would do. If we don't get rid of this man, it will damage the dignity of the Black Sect, and it will make it harder for the people to calm down."
Fan Kun's words were righteous and logical. He had completely described Jiang Chen as an evil man.
Daoist Black remained expressionless as he stared at Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, how are you going to explain this?"
Daoist Black asked.
"I don't want to explain, I believe Sect Chief will make a fair decision."
Jiang Chen cupped his fist. There was no point in trying to explain anything like this. It all depended on Daoist Black's decision. If Daoist Black wanted to punish him, no matter how he tried to explain himself, it would be useless. If Daoist Black didn't want to pursue this matter, he could do the same.
Besides, Jiang Chen didn't need to explain himself, because the crowd's explanation was more convincing than his.
"The truth is right in front of us, what else is there to explain? Disciple requests Alliance Chief to punish Jiang Chen."
Fan Kun said with a sneer on his face.
"Sect Chief, senior disciple Jiang Chen is innocent!"
Right after Fan Kun finished speaking, an outer circle disciple immediately spoke out.
"That's right, Sect Chief. Two days ago, an outer circle disciple, Guo Lei, spread fake news about senior disciple Jiang Chen's death in the Myriad Demon Mountain. He was ordered by an inner circle disciple, Cai Dong, to bully us. He took 100 Human Elixir pills from each of us, and he even severely injured Wang Yun and Huang Zheng. Many people can testify that we are the victims!"
"Sect Chief, senior disciple Jiang Chen only came back to seek justice for us. If we are talking about who violated the rules, it was Guo Lei and the others who violated the rules first."
"Jiang Wei's death was his own fault. He and senior disciple Jiang Chen fought in a deathmatch, so he can't blame anyone for his death. As for the poison, it was Jiang Wei who took out the poison needles, it had nothing to do with senior disciple Jiang Chen."
… …..
Those outer circle disciples who followed Jiang Chen were all fighting to be the first to speak. At this moment, they had no choice but to stand out and express their opinions. If they didn't say anything, it would directly disappoint Jiang Chen. No matter what, Jiang Chen had stood up for them today. Between Jiang Chen and Fan Kun, they had to choose one. They could only help Jiang Chen and offend Fan Kun.
"Sect Chief, the words of these disciples can't be wrong. The root cause of this incident is not Jiang Chen's fault. In other words, Jiang Chen is also a victim."
Guo Shan cupped his fist and said to Daoist Black with a smile on his face. Just now, when Jiang Chen didn't want to explain himself, he was still thinking of a way to save Jiang Chen. But, he didn't expect so many disciples to stand out and speak for Jiang Chen. The effect was much better than having Jiang Chen explain himself. Looking at Jiang Chen's confident expression, Guo Shan couldn't help but praise him in his mind. Although Jiang Chen was young, he had a strong mentality, something that Guo Shan had never seen before. No matter what kind of situation he was facing, he could always remain calm. Besides, Jiang Chen was an extremely daring person, there was nothing he wouldn't do. If not, he wouldn't have caused all this trouble.
"Sect Chief, how can we judge the truth based on the words of a few outer circle disciples? Even if what they said is true, it is still a fact that Jiang Chen brutally beat up an outer circle Sect Elder, and he even hung up four outer circle Sect Elders. Sect Elders represent the reputation of the sect, what Jiang Chen did is a slap to the sect's face."
Fan Kun didn't want to give up.
"Fan Kun, do I need you to teach me what to do?"
Daoist Black glared at him.
"Disciple doesn't dare, please forgive me, Sect Chief."
Seeing Daoist Black getting angry, Fan Kun's expression instantly changed.
"Alright, I've learned everything that happened today. Let's just let this matter rest. Don't let it happen again."
After saying that, Daoist Black disappeared from where he stood, as if he had never appeared before. His speed was incredibly fast. With Daoist Black's strength, he was only one step away from the Combat Soul realm. His strength was not something that ordinary people could fathom.
Daoist Black's words startled many people.
Let this matter rest just like that? The Sect Chief had personally come here, and this was how he was going to handle this matter?
Fan Kun's expression darkened. He really didn't want to accept this result. He had no idea why Daoist Black would be so biased towards Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had caused such a huge commotion today, and even if he wasn't the cause, he should still be punished accordingly. But now, Daoist Black just said it was over, and this matter was over.
Fan Kun wasn't the only one who was confused. Everyone who had witnessed what happened today had their mouths wide open in shock.
"No way? That's it? Sect Chief's way of handling this matter is really unique. "
"That's right, I thought Sect Chief would make a big fuss about this, but I never thought he would just let this matter rest with just a few words."
"Isn't it obvious? Sect Chief is biased towards Jiang Chen. Based on Jiang Chen's performance today, even if he wasn't the cause, beating up an outer circle Sect Elder is more than enough for him to be punished. But now, nothing has happened to him, it's obvious that Sect Chief doesn't want to punish him. "
"Sect Chief has his reasons for doing this. Jiang Chen's growth is too fast, and his talent is extremely rare in the Qi Province. His talent is comparable to the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Burning Sky Pavilion, and it won't be a problem for him to surpass Fan Kun in the future. A genius like this, of course Sect Chief won't punish him easily, this is what true strength is."
… …
Many people were shocked by this result, but at the same time, they understood why. After all, Jiang Chen's performance was too outstanding, and a genius like this was not someone the Black Sect would easily offend.
Besides, this matter was handled by the Sect Chief himself, no one dared to have any objections. As for whether it was fair or not, in this world where strength was everything, fairness was a luxury. In the Black Sect, Daoist Black's words were the only word that was fair.
Those Sect Elders and disciples who were beaten and tied up by Jiang Chen wanted to cry, but no tears came out. They were hoping that the Sect Chief would come and give them some justice, but now it looked like they didn't even need to think about it anymore. Besides, the way the Sect Chief dealt with this matter was equivalent to telling everyone that he was biased towards Jiang Chen. After what happened today, many of them had warned themselves not to offend Jiang Chen in the future. If they offended this ruthless man, they would never have a good ending.
Fan Kun had an evil expression on his face. He stared at Jiang Chen like a poisonous snake and said, "Jiang Chen, I'll remember your life for now."
"Fan Kun, I don't care why you want to kill me, but I'm warning you, you better not offend me. If not, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent tone. He would never show mercy to his enemies.
Besides, the truth had proven that those who offended Jiang Chen would never have a good ending.
"Hmph!"
Fan Kun let out a cold snort, then he turned around and left. Fan Zhong Tang's body moved and disappeared as well.
Originally, Fan Kun wanted to kill Jiang Chen no matter what, but he didn't expect Daoist Black to personally intervene. If he continued to attack Jiang Chen, he would be violating Daoist Black's taboo, and the consequences were not something he could bear.
Just like that, a huge incident that had shaken the entire Black Sect had been easily ended by Daoist Black. Everything that happened today would definitely be recorded in the Black Sect's history. The name Jiang Chen had once again resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
From today onwards, not only those outer circle disciples, even outer circle Sect Elders and some inner circle disciples wouldn't dare offend Jiang Chen anymore.
