As Jian Feng and the disciples of Punishment Hall made their way through the Frozen Forest, so did the inner disciples of the Water Shroud Sect.
"Yue Li, who do you think launched the distress signal?" an inner disciple of the Water Shroud Sect asked.
" I don't know but if it's those of the Unorthodox Path put hands on our juniors, they'll regret the day they stepped into YanNan.."Yue Li responded.
Yue Li and the other inner disciples made their way towards the distress point as they gaped in shock towards the damage that occurred.
"What the hell happened here?" Yue Li said as her gaze swept the demolished area.
"Spread out and search!"
"Senior Sister Yue Li, there's something here !" A disciple shouted as she pointed to a mangled corpse strewn about within the snow. Blood dyed the areas around it red as it stood out like a flower in the snowy landscape.
As Yue Li kneeled to investigate, she recognized the garment. In shock, she rummaged through the clothing as she found the distinguishing feature of the Frost Temple disciples' Uniform.
A white pagoda insignia is worn on the outside of the collar.
In disbelief, she turned towards the disciples who came with her.
"This might be more serious than we thought. This is a Snow Temple disciple, " she said as her eyes widened at the thought of it.
Snow Temple was the direct Sub Sect of the Snow Palace Sect. If Snow Palace is the Empress, then Snow Temple would be a crowned queen over her fiefdom, and Water Shroud would only amount to a Baron.
As she stood up an explosion echoed in the distance. "Go!" Yue Li shouted as they utilized their movement techniques, urging themselves to be faster.
Upon approaching the origin of the sound, they noticed a scale-covered young man coated in flames. He was grasping the neck of their junior disciple Feng Mi as he dragged another by their hair.
"Release them!" Yue Li screamed as she drew her sword, her sword Qi raging as it exploded towards him!
Madlenkosi looked towards the newly arrived group as he punched outwards towards the sword Qi.
The Immortal like scenery of clouds, dark skies, moon, and mountain faded into being him as the space rippled outwards. As his punch connected with the blow, he was pushed back 9 steps as he did his best to dissipate the force.
"Take them back to the sect, I'll deal with him." Yue Li's eyes turned red as she looked at the damage her junior sisters went through.
As she raised her sword and walked towards the Dragon Scaled boy she said, " I don't know who you are or where you came from but you will not live past today!"
'Clap'
'Clap'
'Clap'
"How overbearing, domineering even," Jian Feng and his team of Punishment Hall disciples cloaked in black and gold arrived from between the trees at this time. He continued, " To tell a Titan's Gate disciple that he won't be able to live past today, I want to see if you can stop us from bringing him away."
His gaze was stern as he stared at Yue Li.
Yue Li's pupils dilated. Titan's Gate was above the Water Shroud Sect in both status and heritage, and their seniors definitely wouldn't want a war.
Currently, an unimaginable amount of punishment Hall's disciples was here, and fighting them would only make them take unnecessary losses, but even so, she couldn't show weakness.
"So he's a Titan's Gate disciple just because you said so?" She asked.
Jian Feng threw Jīn's Sect Token to her as he showed her proof. As unconvinced she was, she still had to believe it.
"We still need an explanation for all of this." She stated.
Madlenkosi had never heard so much rubbish!
"What!? EXPLANATION??! Your disciples tried to rob and kill me!? To attack the little with many!"
Jian Feng's face grimaced. "If what my junior said is right, you're the one who has to explain. "
As she turned and saw the awakened Feng Mi, she looked with an askance expression. Feng Mi avoided her gaze as she held her head low, how was she to know he was from Titan's Gate?
Yue Li placed her palm on her forehead as she looked towards the 4 injured outer sect disciples and the unconscious Snow Temple disciple.
"Sighs, we'll have to provide a reasonable explanation as to why the disciples of Water Shroud Sect are acting like common bandits." Then as she looked to the mangled corpse, "Sighs, and to Snow Temple. "
Jian Feng smirked and he rounded up the Punishment disciples as they prepared to head back to the sect.
As he looked at his junior brother, he couldn't help but smile.
"Junior Jīn, I'm sorry for the unjust treatment you received at the sect. The people who have wronged you have been punished and we were sent to look for you the same day."
He continued, " Though this may seem expected of us, we have also prepared compensation for you upon your return to the sect. My master Head Inner Elder Yu ZaiMing also wanted to make you his second disciple. He wanted to do so before all this but...well things didn't happen as planned."
Madlenkosi was stunned as he slowly nodded his head as he took in all the information.
Though it was nice to travel and see the sights of the new world, acquiring resources and good cultivation manuals as well as techniques were extremely difficult.
"OK, let's return to the sect..." He said as he agreed.
Jian Feng finally relaxed as he had completed his mission as they began to depart back towards the Titan's Gate.
The Budda's Gate Dao Meet between Diamond Buddha Sect and Titan's Gate would arrive within the next 3 months and the best outer sect disciples normally partook in it.
From what he could see, this little Junior Jīn had enough raw power to take this meet by storm...and he was looking forward to it...
