บท 166: Who's Below Dare to Sue Me
After a few days of fermenting, the incident at Yutai Mountain became widely known.
It was inevitable and impossible to conceal. After all, eight out of the nine peaks of Yutai Mountain had crumbled. Even if one claimed it was an earthquake, no one would believe it.
Moreover, there were so many eyewitnesses.
Among the seven major sects near the Azure Sky Sword Sea, the numerous cultivators were all talking about the same thing during this period: who was the person who had chopped off the head of the young acting headmaster of Yutai Mountain?
He had used some sort of ghostly means, withstood the bronze spear that guarded the Yutai Mountain sect, and taken the young acting headmaster's head right in front of the grand elder.
This was equivalent to blatantly humiliating Yutai Mountain, and not even bothering to cover up the mess.
It was truly strange that none of the cultivators had ever heard of such a person before, nor could they recall anyone similar.
Could it be that some ancient monster had been in seclusion in the Star River for ten thousand years and had only just emerged?
This was the only explanation the cultivators could come up with.
Next, it was up to Yutai Mountain to decide what to do. If they couldn't capture this ancient monster, their prestige in the star region would surely take a huge hit, and they would fall behind the other six of the seven major sects.
Of course, there were always exceptions.
For example, if that mysterious ancient monster went on to trample on the other six sects, then the seven major sects would be on an equal footing again.
In addition, a not-so-small piece of news spread in the star region. It was said that Lu Hua of the Everlasting Life Sect had died during a journey in the Star River due to dark intrusions, a twisted inner demon, and his body and dao had dissipated.
When this news came out, it also made the cultivators sigh. No matter what your background or strength was, death could still come knocking.
The matter of Yutai Mountain had been reported to the Azure Sky Sword Sea, from the junior elders to the senior elders, and then discussed among them. The ones who played a decisive role were the six Law Elders.
At this moment, the six of them were sitting in the main hall, deliberating on a solution.
Chen Xia was seated in the position of the fourth Law Elder that belonged to him, listening as an ordinary elder read out the details of the Yutai Mountain incident. Beside him stood the victim, a middle-aged man in luxurious robes, who claimed to be the headmaster of Yutai Mountain.
After the ordinary elder finished reading, it was the turn of the headmaster of Yutai Mountain to speak.
"That scoundrel barged into Yutai Mountain without any regard for reason, and his strength was extremely overbearing. Even when the grand elder activated the sect-guarding great formation, it didn't have much effect. He still managed to kill my son and destroy the sect!"
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain gritted his teeth as he recounted the events, filled with indignation.
The six Law Elders clearly didn't get caught up in the emotions of the headmaster of Yutai Mountain. They each continued with their own affairs.
This incident was a big deal for Yutai Mountain, but for the Azure Sky Sword Sea, it was really just a trifle.
Would you get anxious if your dog was beaten?
Probably not.
Among the six Law Elders, only Chen Xia was listening attentively. He propped his hands up on the table, looking earnest, with a slight smile on his lips. Facing this situation, he really wanted to blurt out, "Who dares to sue me in court?!"
It was a pity that he couldn't say it. Chen Xia felt a bit regretful, straightened his posture, and continued listening to the complaints of the headmaster of Yutai Mountain.
"That old monster didn't pay any heed to Yutai Mountain at all. After causing chaos, he fled arrogantly. If it was just an insult to our Yutai Mountain, it would be okay. The key point is that Yutai Mountain exists under the wing of the Azure Sky Sword Sea. His actions were no different from treating the Azure Sky Sword Sea as nothing!"
The words sounded very familiar. Chen Xia seemed to have heard them somewhere before, or perhaps they were just too commonly used.
The Law Elders didn't react much either. Their expressions remained calm. They were all old and wily characters and couldn't be stirred up by a few words.
"Then in your opinion, what should the Azure Sky Sword Sea do?"
The first Law Elder, also the most senior in terms of qualifications, asked in a flat tone, but his words brought great pressure to the headmaster of Yutai Mountain.
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain clasped his fists and hurriedly bowed, saying, "In my humble opinion, we should mobilize some manpower. With Yutai Mountain assisting the Azure Sky Sword Sea, we should search for the trace of this old monster and capture him to display the might of the Azure Sky Sword Sea!"
"Mm." The first Law Elder nodded. "Your opinion is indeed humble."
Sweat broke out on the forehead of the headmaster of Yutai Mountain. His heart tightened, and he didn't dare to retort. He could only stand there dumbly.
"Speaking of searching, who exactly is going to do it? In such a vast star region, even with supernatural powers and spells, it would be difficult to find the old monster you mentioned."
The second Law Elder spoke slowly, then suddenly raised his tone and added,
"Could it be that you want the few Heavenly Mending Realm Supreme Elders to take action?"
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain trembled and quickly shook his head, "I wouldn't dare, I really wouldn't dare. I just think that this old monster is so arrogant that I came to report to the Azure Sky Sword Sea."
"Humph!" The fifth Law Elder, a tall old man, snorted coldly and said,
"Such a large Yutai Mountain can't even subdue a cultivator at the Sea Moving Realm and still has to come and report to the Azure Sky Sword Sea. I think your Yutai Mountain can be downgraded a bit and become a subsidiary sect of the Everlasting Life Sect. Otherwise, it's really a disgrace to the Azure Sky Sword Sea!"
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain trembled all over, pursed his lips tightly, and his heart pounded. He hadn't expected such a result.
If Yutai Mountain really became a subsidiary sect of the Everlasting Life Sect, he would become a sinner of Yutai Mountain and be engraved on the pillar of shame.
"That's not what I mean." A flat voice rang out, and then continued,
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. It's understandable to have one or two powerful cultivators at the Sea Moving Realm once in a while. Besides, Yutai Mountain is also thinking about the face of the Azure Sky Sword Sea. Let's not be too harsh."
The trembling body of the headmaster of Yutai Mountain straightened, and his expression was full of excitement. He quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.
It was a young man in green robes with a delicate and handsome face, sitting on an equal footing with the other Law Elders.
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain didn't know who Chen Xia was, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Yutai Mountain will remember it!"
"No need. Among cultivators, we should help each other. For example, the previous fourth Law Elder was in poor health and couldn't perform his duties for a long time. I took over to help him finish the job."
Chen Xia replied with a light smile, also revealing his identity.
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain became even more excited, "Thank you for your understanding. Yutai Mountain has nothing to repay you with. We are willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"
Having a Law Elder who spoke up for Yutai Mountain already made the headmaster of Yutai Mountain overjoyed.
The other five Law Elders didn't care much. They were just too lazy to get involved. They didn't have time for this when they had their own cultivation to focus on. Who the hell would go and catch the old monster?
Now that Chen Xia had spoken, they would surely agree to Yutai Mountain's request. After that, it would be Chen Xia's business and none of theirs.
The several Law Elders didn't bother with Chen Xia, the most outstanding and domineering seedling of the Great Emperor. They each tilted their heads and continued with their own affairs, allowing Chen Xia and the headmaster of Yutai Mountain to chat.
Chen Xia smiled and continued, "Don't worry. I will definitely find that person and bring him to Yutai Mountain."
The headmaster of Yutai Mountain kept thanking him.
Chen Xia didn't say that he would bring the person to Yutai Mountain to apologize.
Was there a possibility that later, when he brought his external incarnation to Yutai Mountain, he would be even more outrageous?
