"SCRAM!" Elder Liang's booming command echoed across the vicinity, leaving everyone present utterly astonished.
It was indeed known that Elder Liang held the esteemed position of the grand elder in the sect, but his abrupt dismissal of Elder Zhen seemed excessively harsh. After all, Elder Zhen, though subordinate to him, was still a respected elder of the sect.
Elder Zhen too was taken aback. He had never anticipated that Elder Liang would address him with such blatant disrespect, especially in such a public setting.
Seeing Elder Zhen standing still, seemingly flabbergasted, Elder Liang grew visibly irritated. "What part of 'scram' didn't you grasp? Do you require assistance to make yourself scarce?" His voice seethed with barely concealed rage.
His killing intent, which had been briefly subdued, surged once again, dropping the temperature in the vicinity of the dueling ring.
