At this moment, the parents of Wang Xuanlong from the Martial Sect were feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles, furious and anxious.
“Leader, that Yan Zhengfeng has crossed the line! He has imprisoned my son in the Demon Suppressing Cave, ignoring us completely!” Wang Xuanlong’s father, Wang Tianmu, said indignantly.
“Yet, Yan Zhengfeng had the audacity to ask us to pick Xuanlong in person.
He’s clearly trying to insult us. We seek justice from the Leader,” Liu Jin, Wang Xuanlong’s mother, uttered, her face showing signs of grief and anger.
Sitting on an iron black chair, Xing Tianxiao wore an expressionless face, looking down at Wang Tianmu and his wife, feeling utterly annoyed.
He had known about what had transpired. He, too, was aggravated by Wang Xuanlong’s misbehaviour at the Pill Sect. Xing Tianxiao would have dealt with the boldness of a Pill Sect’s disciple at his Martial Sect by beheading him himself.
Yan Zhengfeng had done them quite a favour by only detaining their son and letting the two of them fetch him. Yet, they brought this insignificant trouble upon him.
As much as Xing Tianxiao hated to be bothered by such matters, he could not dismiss Wang Tianmu and his wife who held a certain stage in the Martial Sect.
Clearing his throat, Xing Tianxiao said, “I’m fully aware of the situation. Indeed, your son’s actions at the Pill Sect have been quite excessive. It’s the fault of the Martial Sect initially. You both should go and bring Wang Xuanlong back. Let’s call it an end to the matter.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianmu and his wife were upset. Their son had merely been playful at the Pill Sect, and there was no need for them to take it too seriously. Moreover, being imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Cave was an outright disgrace to them.
“Leader, how can we let this matter go so easily? My son suffers so much in the Demon Suppressing Cave, Yan Zhengfeng must provide an explanation!” Liu Jin said with an angry face.
Wang Tianmu kept silent, but from his look, it was clear that he was not willing to let it go.
Angered, Xing Tianxiao stood up suddenly and shouted, “Your son has been behaving recklessly and constantly harassing a female disciple in the Pill Sect and bragging that no one in the Pill Sect could do anything about him. Even if Yan Zhengfeng had killed him on the spot, he would be justified. If you want to settle scores, go to the Pill Sect and find Yan Zhengfeng. Don’t bother me, as I cannot afford to lose this honour.”
After finishing his tirade, Xing Tianxiao turned and left Wang Tianmu and his wife stunned.
Both Wang Tianmu and his wife had hoped that Xing Tianxiao would stand up for them. After all, it was Yan Zhengfeng who had detained their son, and their status was somewhat lower than Yan Zhengfeng’s. In terms of seniority, Yan Zhengfeng was of their grandparents’ generation.
Only with Xing Tianxiao stepping in this situation would weigh heavier.
However, to their surprise, Xing Tianxiao showed a dismissive attitude. Now, even the Sect Leader wasn’t on their side.
With clenched teeth and a face full of anger, Liu Jin said, “Husband, since the
Sect Leader is not intervening, we need to confront Yan Zhengfeng ourselves.”
Wang Tianmu nodded helplessly. Although he felt somewhat guilty facing Yan Zhengfeng, he still needed to confront him since his own son was being confined. He had to muster the courage despite his reluctance.
An hour later, Wang Tianmu and his wife arrived at the Pill Sect and saw Yan Zhengfeng.
Despite their blustering at the Martial Sect, when they were in front of Yan Zhengfeng, their attitudes were humble and respectful.
They had no choice. Yan Zhengfeng’s standing in the Pill Sect was second only to Gu Daofeng. Although they were elders in the Martial Sect, they were neither high-ranking nor powerful, well below Yan Zhengfeng in status.
Moreover, Yan Zhengfeng was one of the oldest veterans in the Purple Mist Sect. Even Xing Tianxiao would respectfully greet him as a junior, let alone Wang Tianmu and his wife.
If Xing Tianxiao were present, they might have been somewhat tough. However, it was just the two of them and they couldn’t manage to show off any bold front.
Yan Zhengfeng, however, was unsparing. He scolded them heavily and despite their anger, Wang Tianmu and his wife had to endure his reproach.
When they visited the Demon Suppressing Cave and saw their son, they could not contain their anger and burst out on the spot.
They couldn’t help it, as Wang Xuanlong looked miserable. Even his mother, Liu Jin, took a long time to recognize her own son.
Unable to contain their fury, the couple took Wang Xuanlong and his two friends from the Demon Suppressing Cave and went to demand an explanation from Yan Zhengfeng.
However, Yan Zhengfeng simply ignored them and drove Wang Tianmu, his wife, and others out.
Having no other options, Wang Tianmu and his wife had to bring the trio back to the Martial Sect.
The next day, many voices from the Martial Sect demanded justice for their son and asked the Pill Sect to hand over Fang Lin, the one responsible for the assault.
The matter escalated suddenly, causing a stir at both the Martial Sect and the Pill Sect.
Although both Sects belonged to the Purple Mist Sect, they have always been relatively independent, with occasional conflicts. However, incidents involving elders were rare.
About Fang Lin beating Wang Xuanlong, more and more people were becoming aware.
At the Martial Sect, disciples unfamiliar with the actual situation were infuriated on hearing that their fellow member was beaten by someone from the Pill Sect. They unanimously demanded confronting Fang Lin at the Pill Sect.
On the other hand, the Pill Sect was showering Fang Lin with praise and applause.
Although the Pill Sect primarily focused on pill refining, they didn’t like being bullied by the people from the Martial Sect. By beating Wang Xuanlong, Fang
Lin greatly boosted the morale of the Pill Sect, so naturally, the disciples of the Pill Sect would cheer for him.
Of course, there were also some who shook their heads in disapproval. The beating was a minor issue; the major problem was the trouble Fang Lin faced from the Martial Sect.
Everyone knew the people from the Martial Sect, with their abundant energy and penchant for fighting.
Because of this incident, probably half of the Martial Sect disciples would want to teach Fang Lin a lesson and restore the face of the Martial Sect.
As the situation got out of hand, Yan Zhengfeng came forward, reprimanding the Martial Sect.
One day, Yan Zhengfeng personally arrived at the Martial Sect, standing in front of the grand hall, cursing Wang Xuanlong and his parents heavily.
It was incredible to witness an elderly man, half into his grave, showcasing such energy in condemning others. The disciples of the Martial Sect looked dumbstruck, standing confusedly.
As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, many Martial Sect elders attempted to intervene, but to no avail. finally, Xing Tianxiao stepped in. After much persuasion, he respectfully escorted Yan Zhengfeng back to the Pill Sect.
Yan Zhengfeng clarified each detail of the incident in his harsh words, revealing Wang Xuanlong’s disgraceful conduct at the Pill Sect, and how he got beaten by Fang Lin.
Upon knowing the truth about Wang Xuanlong, the disciples of the Martial
Sect looked down upon him, significantly reducing the voices against Fang Lin.
Wang Tianmu and his wife also quietened down, showing no activity. However, some were certain that this matter wouldn’t end so easily;
