Chapter 320: Who Else Wants to Die?
Zhao Letian has not forgotten that the first time he saw Pan Qingqing, she had directed Lin Yun to kill him.
At that time, Lin Yun was a genius of the Inner Sect of Galaxy Sect, possessing the powerful cultivation of the True Martial Fourth Realm, while Zhao Letian was only at the True Martial First Realm. Had it not been for the power of an Array, Zhao Letian would have long been dead at Lin Yun's hands.
Afterward, she had her father Pan Teng come to kill Zhao Letian; if not for his master Sword Obsession, Zhao Letian would have also long been dead at Pan Teng's hands.
Now, Pan Qingqing had her godfather come to kill Zhao Letian; if not for the fact that Zhao Letian's cultivation had improved greatly since then, he would have died all the same.
In other words, Pan Qingqing has repeatedly attempted to kill Zhao Letian. How could Zhao Letian not take revenge for this enmity?
"Audacious scoundrel, to harm an Elder of the sect and slaughter fellow disciples, you deserve a thousand deaths."
"Sect Master, this troublemaker must not be spared, kill him."
Those Elders stared deadly at Zhao Letian, reprimanding him with a mix of shock and anger.
In front of them, Zhao Letian was killing people in succession, showing complete disregard for them—utterly arrogant and unforgivable.
At the same time, the core disciples present were also shocked as they watched Zhao Letian.
The act of openly slaying a sect Elder was something they didn't even dare to think about, let alone have the strength to do.
Besides, the death of Pan Qingqing was even more heartbreaking for them; after all, Pan Qingqing was a recognized beauty in the sect, and now she had been mercilessly killed by Zhao Letian, which was nothing short of a destructive tragedy.
"Is there anyone else here who wishes to die? Step forward."
Zhao Letian held his longsword and scanned the Elders with cold eyes, speaking boldly and without fear.
There was no deep-seated hatred between Zhao Letian and the other Elders, and he had no intention of contending with them over past events, but if anyone was intent on seeking death, he would not mind granting their wish.
Swept by Zhao Letian's gaze, those Elders immediately silenced like cicadas in winter, and no one dared to speak carelessly anymore.
Although some Elders of the Sect Martial Second Realm were not afraid of Zhao Letian, they did not know what his trump card was or why he dared to be so arrogant; therefore, no one dared to take a stand rashly.
"All right, let's end today's events here; Zhao Letian's actions, though inappropriate, are understandable and need not be pursued further."
At this moment, Sect Master Chu Yunshan suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
In his eyes, Pan Qingqing and her godfather deserved their deaths, and Zhao Letian had done nothing wrong.
As for the matter of barging into the core disciple's area and scanning everyone with Divine Thought Power, for a talent like Zhao Letian, that was a minor issue unworthy of mention, and not something Chu Yunshan would fuss over.
Regarding Sect Master Chu Yunshan's decision, the Elders, although reluctant, did not dare to retort; after all, Sect Master Chu Yunshan was the supreme existence within Galaxy Sect, and his words were commands that could not be challenged.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Zhao Letian bowed to Chu Yunshan.
After all, he was still a disciple of Galaxy Sect, and he should show due respect to Sect Master Chu Yunshan.
"Zhao Letian, I've heard that you and Li'er have displayed majestic power on the frontier battlefield, overwhelming the peers of Gray Wolf Kingdom and establishing tremendous military exploits for our Great Jin, bringing pride to the sect. You've done very well. The honor roll of the sect will surely mark this glorious deed of yours."
Chu Yunshan spoke loudly, revealing a look of approval in his deep eyes as he looked at Zhao Letian.
The feats of Zhao Letian and Li'er on the battlefield had long been relayed back to Galaxy Sect, invigorating everyone from top to bottom, all filled with pride for the pair.
However, the news of Zhao Letian's battle achievements caused some Elders to feel restless. After all, the purpose of sending Zhao Letian to the battlefield was for him to die under the blades of the Gray Wolf Kingdom's men.
But as it turned out, not only did Zhao Letian not die, but he also made remarkable achievements, much to their disappointment.
Fortunately, news soon arrived that after the great border battle, Zhao Letian had disappeared, much to the relief of those Elders.
However, they could have never anticipated that today, Zhao Letian would suddenly appear within the Sect.
Seeing that Zhao Letian was not dead, those Elders were extremely frustrated, and their attitude towards Zhao Letian naturally turned unfriendly.
Hearing the Sect Master's words, Core Disciples present cast envious glances towards Zhao Letian.
Bringing glory to the nation, honoring the Sect, making a name for oneself—these were accomplishments they all dreamed of. Zhao Letian, this junior younger than themselves, had achieved all that. How could they not be envious?
"Sect Master is too kind."
Zhao Letian said with a faint smile, appearing indifferent.
"Zhao Letian, I heard that you disappeared after the great border battle. What exactly did you experience during this time? Furthermore, is there any urgent matter that brings you hastily back to the Sect?"
Sect Master Chu Yunshan asked with curiosity.
He had also heard about Zhao Letian's encounter of being surrounded during the border war and was eager to know how Zhao Letian managed to survive such a seemingly certain death situation and what opportunities he encountered afterward to possess his current formidable strength.
"It's better not to speak of past events. I have returned only to ask the Sect Master, has my master Sword Obsession returned?"
Zhao Letian asked with a shake of his head and a smile, neither servile nor overbearing.
Now, Zhao Letian held power enough to contend with the entire Galaxy Sect in his hands. Thus, while he respected Sect Master Chu Yunshan, he felt no need to answer any questions if he chose not to.
"Sword Obsession? No."
Zhao Letian's reluctance to detail his past experiences had been expected by Chu Yunshan, so he was not surprised by Zhao Letian's response. However, when Sword Obsession was mentioned, Chu Yunshan's gaze flickered inadvertently.
"Really not?"
Zhao Letian's brows furrowed as he spoke coldly, his tone cooling.
His perception was very sharp; although Chu Yunshan's reaction was subtle, Zhao Letian had caught it.
Regarding his master Sword Obsession, Zhao Letian would not allow Chu Yunshan to conceal anything. Otherwise, he would take no offense to being discourteous.
"How dare you! Zhao Letian, don't forget your place. You are merely a disciple of Galaxy Sect, yet you dare to question the Sect Master. You are truly courting death."
An Elder at the Sect Martial Second Realm immediately scolded coldly.
He knew that Sect Master Chu Yunshan would not tolerate questioning, which was a major taboo within Galaxy Sect. Zhao Letian seemed to have hit the nail on the head, and it was unlikely that the Sect Master would let this slide easily.
"Silence."
"Sect Master, I don't want to hear any more lies. Tell me the whereabouts of my master, or today will be a day of mourning for Galaxy Sect."
Zhao Letian cast a cold glance at the Sect Martial Second Realm Elder and then turned his gaze toward Sect Master Chu Yunshan, speaking indifferently. At the same time, Spirit Light flickered in his hand as he directly took out twenty-eight Snow Wolves of Sect Martial Realm strength from the Spiritual Beast Bag, as well as many demon beasts obtained from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
