Chapter 83 - Supreme Sword Dao Sect’s Stance.
A full day hasn't gone by and the news about Ling Chen's appearance in the Martial God Sect's Domain, more precisely the Grey Wolf Village, spread like wildfire.
The moment the news got out, the Martial God Sect's Domain that has been peaceful for some time was suddenly boiling with excitement as the swarm of warriors that were stationed in the Heavenly Demon Sect's Domain flooded to their Domain like a tsunami.
As the most wanted man throughout the whole Heaven Desolate Region, Ling Chen's poster was plastered on the wall of every major city and town throughout the whole region like a wanted criminal.
Unfortunately, he didn't use any disguise when he appeared in the Grey Wolf Village and killed the second leader of the Black Eagle Bandits group as well as the three hundred men that were with him.
After the death of the second leader as well as his men, with a little investigation and questioning, the leader of the black eagle bandits was able to find out the culprit behind it all.
Though he didn't have the power to get revenge, that didn't stop him from spreading the news about Ling Chen's appearance in the Grey Wolf Village as well as getting the rewards for the information.
At this moment, the Grey Wolf Village was a small little village that no one wanted to visit, a small village that was unknown even most of the residents of the Martial God Sect's Domain had now become the center of the Martial God Sect's Domain.
In just one day, the Grey Wolf Village has become the most famous place throughout the Martial God Sect's Domain. It was like a hot tourist spot as every single warrior that was after Ling Chen's devouring power flooded there like a tidal wave.
...
One Day later.
Supreme Sword Dao Sect, Supreme Sword Dao Chamber.
The Supreme Sword Dao Chamber was an important location in the Supreme Sword Dao Sect. All the major decisions were discussed and made there, and only the elders had the qualifications to enter.
At this moment, almost all the elders of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect were present in the Supreme Sword Dao chamber. Powerful auras exuded from all of their bodies.
The atmosphere within the chamber was heavy to the extreme as a huge debate was going on because of Ling Chen.
The Ancestor of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect who was cultivating in seclusion for decades to breakthrough the Martial Saint realm was forced to come out of seclusion to take part in the meeting because the decision from that meeting could determine the rise and fall of their Supreme Sword Dao Sect.
The meeting was quickly convened by the Sect master of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect after he has gotten the news of Ling Chen's appearance in the Grey Wolf Village.
If it was before, they wouldn't be bothered with Ling Chen, but after knowing that he had killed Bloodbath as well as his weird demonic abilities, the Sect Master had to view him as a potential disaster for their Sect. Especially after they have tried to kill him before he could grow stronger as well as kidnapping two of his people.
"My personal opinion is that we should release the two people and apologize to the Fiendgod Venerable." One of the elders that didn't like the way Elder Zhuo did things stated his opinion.
However, his opinion was quickly met with the opposition of the other elders. They would never accept such a thing. Bowed down to a little junior, this was like a great humiliation to them.
They were one of the fifteen great influences that lorded over the Heaven Desolate Region. They were a sect with countless powerful warriors and had existed for hundreds of years, what kind of storms have they not weathered before?
Not to mention they also covert Ling Chen's devouring ability as well as his strong healing ability. Though they didn't mention it out loud, it was the main reason they didn't want to hand over Fang Lan and Hu'er to Ling Chen or make peace with him despite knowing how powerful he had become. They wanted him to come to the Supreme Sword Dao Sect.
Because of this, the elder's suggestion was met with great hostility. Elder Zhuo, who was watching on the sideline even scolded him: "Is your head fried or something? You just became an elder not too long ago, and yet you are already making some foolish and cowardice decision. Our Supreme Sword Dao Sect bowing its head to a junior that hasn't even grow pubic hair yet? Don't even think about it!"
" I agree with elder Ye, releasing the two people and apologize to the Fiendgod Venerable is the best course of action. We were the ones that tried to kill him multiple times while he didn't even offend us. Now that he has become powerful, we have to accept the fact that we lost and try to coexist with him."
" We just need to lay low in this incoming turbulent time. As long as we stay alive, there is still a chance to come out on top in the future." Added another elder who seemed to shared the same view as the first elder known as elder Ye.
" tch tch... It seemed that the new generation of elders doesn't have any backbone. If it continued like that, it won't be long before our Supreme Sword Dao Sect declined" Added another elder who seemed to be in the same camp as elder Zhuo.
" The two newly appointed elders are young and inexperienced. it's ok for them to have such opinions." The Sect Master of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect said as he shook his head. He clearly didn't like their opinions. Just like elder Zhuo and the others, he was also vying for Ling Chen's devouring abilities. However, with how powerful Ling Chen has become, he needed the Ancestor's protection and approval just in case things went south.
"Our Supreme Sword Dao Sect has stood for hundreds of years. We will never bow down to a little brat." He added.
"Bloodbath and the Bloodbath assassination guild has also stood strong for hundreds of years, but look what happened to them now. They only existed in name." Elder Ye spoke in a serious tone." I know that most of you want nothing but to get Fiendgod Venerable's devouring abilities and don't really care about the consequences. I suggest you guys calm down and think about everything through. When Elder Zhuo had faced him, he was nothing but an early stage Martial Venerable, and on the same day he had managed to get strong enough to kill Bloodbath, a peak Martial Venerable."
"With this powerful ability of his as well as his rate of growth, it won't be long before he breaks through the Martial Saint realm and even the legendary Martial God. As such, bowing our head to a future Martial God isn't such a shameful thing."
The discussion kept on going for a good half an hour. The majority of the elders were against the idea of making peace with Ling Chen. However, even though they were arguing back and forth, they knew that only the Ancestor had the power to make such a major decision, not even the Sect Master himself.
" Enough!"
Right at this moment, when the debate had reached its climax, a powerful and thunderous voice suddenly rang out from within the chamber. A voice that was strong enough to instill fear into the hearts of everyone present.
" I don't care how scary and powerful that so-called Fiendgod Venerable is, however, if he dares to barge into my Supreme Sword Dao Sect, I'll make sure this place turns into his burial ground."
The moment the ancestor of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect made his decision, no one dared to question him. They didn't dare to say anything else after he had spoken. They could only accept this decision because the ancestor was the oldest and the most powerful warrior in the sect. He was a Half-Saint realm Powerhouse, only one step away from the terrifying Martial Saint Realm.
...
Supreme Sword Dao Sect, Inner Sect Courtyard.
At this moment, while the elders of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect were trying to come up with a plan of how to deal with Ling Chen, In front one of the inner sects' disciple cave stood a young man.
He looked no older than twenty and was very handsome. The young man was carefully looking around his surroundings.
After making sure, everything was ok. The young man suddenly turned around and went back to his cave before he murmured to himself ." It's time to save Fang Lan and Hu'er and also let the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, as well as the whole world, know the consequences of offending me."
