Chapter 787: Intimidation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Clearly, no one expected Lu Zijia to be able to resist the pressure of a level-six Ancient Martial Artist.
Lu Zijia acted as an obedient junior, pretending as though she didn’t notice the strange looks on everyone’s faces.
“Sit down, all of you.”
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table was the first to speak. At the same time, he shot a look in the direction of the old man who was pressuring Lu Zijia, clearly hinting for him not to go too far.
The old man was already a bit embarrassed after failing to intimidate Lu Zijia. When the middle-aged man looked at him, his old face immediately turned pale.
However, as if he was worried about something, the old man straightened up and didn’t make a fuss on the spot.
Luo Baode wasn’t reserved either. He sat down leisurely as he was told, and Lu Zijia followed suit.
Taoist Qingxuan, who originally wanted to see the terrified expressions of the two people, couldn’t help but feel suffocated.
He didn’t mind Luo Baode’s leisurely attitude, but that little girl was also so calm. He was furious!
“Fellow Taoist Luo, I’m sure you already know what this meeting is about. Do you have anything to say?” the middle-aged man seated at the head of the table said to Luo Baode rather amiably.
Before Luo Baode spoke, Taoist Qingxuan snorted first. “Hmph! The evidence is already conclusive. What else is there to say? Mr. He, are you trying to side with your people?”
Taoist Qingxuan’s outburst made the middle-aged man, Mr. He’s, expression darken.
A man, who looked more than fifty years of age, but still had black hair and a black beard, said with a serious expression, “Fourth Elder, be careful with your words. I believe that Mr. He isn’t biased. If what you say is true, Mr. He will definitely give you the justice you seek.”
After a pause, he glanced at Luo Baode and Lu Zijia indifferently and said, “But if it’s just a misunderstanding, I hope Fourth Elder can also give Fellow Taoist Luo and this little fellow Taoist justice.”
This old man was the current leader of the Maoshan Sect, Tang Zheng, a level-seven Ancient Martial Artist.
When Mr. He first heard what Tang Zheng said at the beginning, he frowned unconsciously. But after hearing what he said at the end, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though he didn’t know the truth behind this matter, he believed in Luo Baode’s character, and was certain that he would not dabble in the dark arts.
However, the person who identified Luo Baode as an evil cultivator was an elder of the Maoshan Sect. Even the leader of the Maoshan Sect, Tang Zheng, came personally, so he couldn’t let this pass so easily. He could only let the two sides deal with each other face to face.
Of course, it would be best if they could resolve it peacefully.
Tang Zheng’s fair words made Mr. He heave a sigh of relief, but Taoist Qingxuan’s face darkened.
However, Taoist Qingxuan did not personally dispute the matter. Instead, he shot his eldest disciple a look.
After receiving his master’s instructions, Yuan Luo was a bit nervous, but he still braced himself and stood up. “Sect Master, Luo Baode and Lu Zijia used a sinister trick to ambush my master, causing him to be seriously injured and his cultivation level to drop.”
“I saw it with my own eyes at that time. Sect Master, please seek justice for us and get rid of the evil in the Martial Arts World, so that more people won’t be harmed by them in the future!”
