Chapter 391 - Sect Leader Compromising

Duan Jingtian spat out those shocking words, shaking the universe.

Anyone who tried to stop him from killing Chen Fan would be regarded as his enemy and would meet their end!

His audacious statement showed blatant disregard for Wei Buyu.

“One should raise their children to be like Duan Jingtian!”

Many people felt their blood boiling. Instead of finding Duan Jingtian arrogant, they found his words reasonable, feeling admiration well up within them.

“Hmph, Duan Jingtian, so what if I killed your executives? I’ll kill even Yuan Kun right in front of you. Let's see how you'll save him now!” Suddenly, Chen Fan’s icy words resounded through heaven and earth.

He unleashed a force from the hand gripping Yuan Kun's neck, which rushed into the latter’s body. The force scrambled Yuan Kun's organs, reducing them to a pulp.

“You...” Yuan Kun never expected Chen Fan to dare kill him in front of Duan Jingtian.

Duan Jingtian's anger reached its peak. His fury was so intense that it altered the colors of the sky and clouds.

“Little bastard, you’re courting death!”

As if the god of destruction was enraged, a terrifying aura descended into the world, wanting to destroy the mortal world.

Boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom...

The terrifying aura came from Duan Jingtian; it enveloped the sun and the moon, even shaking the space intensely.

Everyone felt as if they had sunk into a boundless hell.

Under Duan Jingtian’s rage, they were insignificant like ants, destined to be swept away in the catastrophe and meet their end.

Consumed by rage, Duan Jingtian attacked, and it seemed like the heavens were pressing down, the sun, moon, and stars would shatter, and even the gods and devils would perish.

“Die!”

Crackle!

Chen Fan sensed that an intense spatial ripple was trying to destroy his meridians, rupture his orifices, and reduce his dantian to ashes.

Duan Jingtian's overwhelming might rendered Chen Fan powerless to resist.

“I’ll risk it all!”

Chen Fan was just about to channel the Heaven Seizing Art and revolve the Heaven Seizing Furnace to suppress the force when the small golden person hiding in the depths of his brow suddenly twitched.

Endless strength surged from his glabella instantly. In just a flash, it shattered all of Duan Jingtian's energy attacking Chen Fan's meridians, redirecting it into his dantian, boosting his strength exponentially. His aura skyrocketed, reaching the Illusory Core realm.

“Insolence!” Wei Buyu shouted angrily, his formidable aura crashing like waves.

He destroyed Duan Jingtian’s attack with a palm strike. After all, Wei Buyu couldn’t watch as Duan Jingtian tried to kill Chen Fan.

“It seems that you intend on going against me, Wei Buyu. Fine, I’ll execute you in front of everyone today. I’ll see who still dares to stand against me in the Spring Autumn Sect!”

The Purgatory Divine Halberd appeared in Duan Jingtian’s hand. With a sweeping motion, he tore through space and time, targeting Wei Buyu.

Duan Jingtian had attacked him—a grand elder.

Wei Buyu reacted swiftly. His cultivation erupted, and he countered with an attack.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

A series of sharp sounds echoed instantly.

One of Wei Buyu's treasures was obliterated on the spot. With the halberd's light piercing through his protective energy, fresh blood sprayed, leaving a grievous wound on his chest. It was a harrowing sight.

In just one move, Wei Buyu was defeated!

Duan Jingtian's power was terrifyingly overwhelming!

“In this world, who could be a match for me aside from Divine Nascent realm powerhouses?”

His halberd was shimmering with a sharp light. Traces of blood could be seen on it; they belonged to Wei Buyu. Duan Jingtian said, “Wei Buyu, even if you were joined by all the grand elders from the High Elder’s faction, you wouldn’t stand a chance against me. How dare you act arrogant and stand in my way with your minuscule strength? You clearly don’t know your place!”

“You...!” Wei Buyu uttered in anger, pressing down on his wound to suppress the bleeding.

“Cut the nonsense and get lost. If you don’t, I’ll kill you right away!”

Duan Jingtian’s ferocity was unrivaled. His qi rose to the clouds, his tyranny knew no bounds.

Chen Fan was also stunned. He didn’t expect his master to lose in a single move. He was simply powerless to retaliate.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out of nowhere.

“Enough!”

The unrivaled and ferocious Duan Jingtian suddenly looked as if someone had slapped him. His protective primeval force blew up, and his aura went into disarray as he spewed fresh blood. He was sent flying five miles back, his fresh blood spilling along the way.

“What just happened?”

This sudden turn of events immediately shocked the crowd.

Duan Jingtian had defeated Wei Buyu in one move, but someone had sent someone that strong flying like a dead dog with a single word. He even seemed heavily injured now.

Another voice rang out.

“Senior Brother!”

An invisible hand caught Duan Jingtian while he was still flying back, unable to find his balance. The primeval qi of heaven and earth came surging.

All kinds of powerful energies rushed inside Duan Jingtian. In no time, Duan Jingtian's aura stabilized, despite his severe injuries.

“It’s the Spring Autumn Sect Leader!”

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Fan immediately recognized its owner. It was none other than the Spring Autumn Sect Leader’s voice; he had once heard it before at the Dragon Mountain Peak.

Then, the identity of the first voice became self-evident—it was the Spring Autumn Sect’s High Elder.

In the entire Spring Autumn Sect, only two people could suppress Duan Jingtian. One of them was the Spring Autumn Sect Leader, and the other was the High Elder.

“Feng Baiyu, I’ve already spared Duan Jingtian’s blatant disregard of the laws once. He has ignored the sect rules on multiple occasions, thinking he could trample on them. This is the second time. What do you have to say?”

Both the High Elder and the Spring Autumn Sect Leader did not show themselves. However, their voices resounded clearly in space. Everyone heard them.

“Senior Brother, Jingtian was acting out of anger.” The Spring Autumn Sect Leader’s voice rang out.

“Acting out of anger?” The High Elder’s indifferent voice rang out as he said, “Feng Baiyu, you’ve already shielded him once. I can forget about the time when he broke the rules at the outer sect’s Dragon Mountain Blessed Land training, but this is the four great sects’ martial arts competition. He not only broke the rules but also threatened to harm others and their families every time he spoke, showing blatant disrespect toward the four great sects. You’re saying this is acting out of anger? I might overlook this, but what about the reputation of the other three great sects? How would they view us if news of this spreads?"

The expressions of the elders of the other three great sects were very ugly.

While they took some satisfaction in seeing internal strife within the Spring Autumn Sect, Duan Jingtian's actions had undeniably disrespected the other three sects.

The space fell silent briefly. Finally, the Spring Autumn Sect Leader’s voice rang out once more.

“How about this? Duan Jingtian will go to the Black Wind Cliff and face the wall in reflection of his actions for a year as punishment with immediate effect. He will not be allowed to take half a step outside of Black Wind Cliff during this period.”

As his voice rang out, many people’s expressions changed, realizing that the Spring Autumn Sect Leader had made a compromise.
