The scene immediately quieted down. Everyone threw their gazes onto Daoist Black. What Daoist Black decided next would determine Jiang Chen's fate.
Looking at Fan Zhongtang's expression, there was no way he would let Jiang Chen go. Furthermore, Jiang Chen had killed an inner circle Sect Elder and a disciple, he had indeed violated the Black Sect's taboo. In the history of the Black Sect, no disciple had ever dared to be so presumptuous. As the Black Sect's Chief, it was reasonable for Daoist Black to punish Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen had killed Lord Blood Moon, he had done a great deed for the Black Sect. No matter how big of a sin he had committed, it would still be enough to offset his punishment. Besides, Jiang Chen was a peerless genius, he had the potential to look down on the entire world, and he had the ability to defy all rules. To put it bluntly, he was the Black Sect's future hope. From this point of view, even if Daoist Black didn't punish Jiang Chen, it would still be reasonable.
In other words, whether Daoist Black wanted to punish Jiang Chen or not, it would still be reasonable. It all depended on his decision.
Daoist Black gazed at the furious Fan Zhongtang with an indifferent expression, then he turned around and looked at Jiang Chen.
Hmph!
Jiang Chen let out a cold snort. With one hand placed behind his back, he stared at Daoist Black with a pair of bottomless eyes. His expression was extremely unfriendly. In his mind, Guo Shan and Daoist Black had to bear some responsibility for their injuries. Daoist Black had met him before, and he had promised to provide him with everything he needed. But now, as the Sect Chief, he couldn't even protect Jiang Chen's women and brothers. This made Jiang Chen really angry.
Daoist Black's heart trembled. He narrowed his eyes, trying to see through Jiang Chen, but he was disappointed. In his eyes, this young man in front of him was emitting a mighty aura, it was the aura of a superior being. The pride that came from deep within his bones could not be faked at all.
Moreover, Jiang Chen's cultivation was clearly far below his, but it gave him the feeling of looking up to a great mountain. That kind of natural aura made Jiang Chen feel like a god descending to the mortal world, looking down on the world.
For Daoist Black, this was an unbelievable feeling, but it was happening right in his heart.
"Sect Master, please give the order to eliminate this person."
Fan Zhongtang continued speaking.
Only now did Daoist Black move his gaze away from Jiang Chen. He took a deep breath, then with a clear voice, he said, "I know what happened. Fan Kun is the one at fault, he was lawless, he bullied his fellow disciples, he deserved to die. Jiang Chen's revenge is a matter of course. However, Jiang Chen killed an inner circle disciple and a Sect Elder, this is an unforgivable crime. But, considering that he killed Lord Blood Moon and all the Blood Devils in Yellowstone, this is a great merit, we will not pursue this matter any further."
Daoist Black's words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. Such a decision clearly showed that he was siding with Jiang Chen. Killing a Divine Core Sect Elder was a huge mistake, and he could easily overlook it. This showed how much Daoist Black cared about Jiang Chen, he was willing to offend a highly respected Sect Elder like Fan Zhongtang.
"Did you see that? This is what true ability looks like, this is the capital of a genius!"
"That's right, Sect Chief is obviously siding with Jiang Chen. Think about it, if Jiang Chen wasn't a peerless genius and didn't have such monstrous talent, Sect Chief would definitely kill him without hesitation."
"It's not a big deal for Sect Chief to make such a decision. A genius like Jiang Chen, he would be an idiot if he didn't cherish him. Besides, Fan Kun deserved to die. Both grandfather and grandson didn't put anyone in their eyes because they were powerful in the Black Sect, but they never expected to bump into a tough guy like Jiang Chen."
… …
Many people were whispering among themselves, but most of them felt that it was reasonable for Daoist Black to make such a decision. This was his capital, Jiang Chen's capital. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and everything depended on one's strength. The strength Jiang Chen had shown was something that even Daoist Black had to pay attention to.
The appearance of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Qi Province was like a dazzling star. If no other stars came to stop him, with the talents of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in just a few years, the entire Qi Province's structure would be completely changed. The appearance of Jiang Chen was the only hope of stopping the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Daoist Black had realized this, and that's why he valued Jiang Chen so much.
"Sect Chief!"
Fan Zhongtang's expression changed dramatically. He didn't expect Daoist Black to make such a decision. If Daoist Black protected Jiang Chen, he wouldn't even have the chance to get his revenge.
"Say no more. Sect Elder Fan, during your time as the acting Sect Chief, you've allowed something like this to happen to the sect, causing the sect to suffer a great loss. I'll punish you to face the wall for one month, and after one month, you'll return to your position as a Sect Elder."
Daoist Black said. He was unleashing a dignified aura from his body. This was the aura of a Sect Chief, no one would dare disobey the Sect Chief's order.
"Sect Chief!"
Fan Zhongtang's eyes widened, he felt like throwing up blood. What was going on? His grandson was killed, and the murderer didn't get punished at all, but he, the one who lost his grandson, was punished to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes?
"Sect Elder Fan, how dare you question my order?"
Daoist Black's expression turned cold. As the Sect Chief, he had to have a dignified aura. Except for himself, no one was allowed to offend him, not even the highly respected Sect Elders.
"You don't dare?"
Fan Zhongtang cupped his fist and bowed down. No matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare disobey Daoist Black. Daoist Black's strength was far greater than his, and if they were to fight now, he wouldn't be able to gain any benefits.
"Go now, face the wall at the Cliff of Reflection."
Daoist Black waved his sleeves, signaling Fan Zhongtang to leave.
Fan Zhongtang fiercely glared at Jiang Chen. The meaning behind his glare was clear; he would never let what happened today go so easily.
Jiang Chen hated this kind of glare, and it made Jiang Chen make up his mind. Once he had the ability to kill Fan Zhongtang, he would be the first one to do so.
Fan Zhongtang turned around and left towards the direction of the Cliff of Reflection. His eyes were filled with viciousness. What happened today was like a sharp thorn piercing into his heart, and he couldn't let it go. His entire being was filled with hatred.
"Jiang Chen, I'll definitely tear you into a million pieces! Daoist Black, just you wait, one day, I'll kill you as well! When the Northern and Southern Dynasties unify the Qi Province, that will be the day you die, and the Black Sect will be mine!"
Fan Zhongtang's mind was filled with viciousness. What happened today had made him hate Daoist Black even more. It was obvious that Daoist Black was biased towards Jiang Chen, and he didn't care about the pain of losing his grandson at all.
"Jiang Chen, come with me."
After saying this, Daoist Black disappeared in an instant.
With a sway of his body, Jiang Chen flew towards Palace Black. What happened to Yan Chen Yu and Han Yan had really disappointed him. However, Daoist Black was after all the Sect Chief of a sect, and he rarely cared about the fights between disciples. Besides, Daoist Black's performance today had satisfied Jiang Chen.
Originally, Jiang Chen planned to bring Yan Chen Yu and Han Yan out of the Black Sect and return to Redsun Town. However, after considering their injuries, he decided to stay in the Black Sect. The conditions here were not something Yellowstone could compare with. Besides, Daoist Black really valued Jiang Chen a lot, and he had completely regarded Jiang Chen as the Black Sect's hope.
Most importantly, Jiang Chen had too many enemies. Fan Zhongtang was one of them, he believed that once he left the Black Sect's territory, Fan Zhongtang would do everything in his power to hunt him down. Also, the Tianjian Gate and the Burning Sky Pavilion were his enemies as well, especially the Tianjian Gate. He had just killed Liang Xiao, and the news of this would soon spread to the Tianjian Gate. Once he left the Black Sect, he would immediately become the enemy of the entire world. Of course, he wasn't afraid of that, but he needed to find a good place for Yan Chen Yu and Han Yan to rest.
Therefore, Jiang Chen had decided to stay in the Black Sect. With Daoist Black's help, Jiang Chen now had a solid foundation in the Black Sect, so he couldn't just abandon it.
Inside Palace Black.
"Jiang Chen, are you blaming me?"
Daoist Black asked.
"I'm not blaming you, I'm just disappointed. I went to kill those Blood Devils, but my woman and brother were killed."
Jiang Chen said with a cold voice. Facing Daoist Black, he didn't show any politeness. In the entire Black Sect, perhaps only Jiang Chen had the courage to talk to Daoist Black like this.
"This is indeed my fault, but I don't want to explain too much. You've killed those Blood Devils and Lord Blood Moon, you've completed an impossible mission. You've exceeded my expectations, and I'm very pleased with that. The speed of your growth has caught me by surprise as well. I have to admit, you are indeed a peerless genius. In the entire Qi Province, only you have the ability to fight against the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the future. This is also the reason why I didn't punish you today."
Daoist Black's words were very straightforward. The reason why he didn't punish Jiang Chen was because Jiang Chen had a strong foundation. As a Sect Chief, Daoist Black's cultivation level and vision were much better than ordinary people. Naturally, he could see the potential and ambition of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The reason why he was loyal to Jiang Chen now was because he wanted to find a genius who could fight against the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the future. In other words, Daoist Black was thinking about the future of the Black Sect.
"I'll deal with the Northern and Southern Dynasties. However, Yan Chen Yu and Han Yan are severely injured, and they need some time to recover. I'll leave them on Guo Shan's mountain peak. As for Fan Zhong Tang, I don't want to see something like this happen again."
Jiang Chen said.
"Don't worry, something like this will never happen again. Just focus on your cultivation and focus on dealing with the Northern and Southern Dynasties. As for Yan Chen Yu and Han Yan's injuries, just leave them to Guo Shan. Guo Shan is one of the top alchemists in the Qi Province, and he's in charge of most of the herbs in the Black Sect. If you need anything, just look for him."
