Martial Master

However, these words naturally aroused even more dissatisfaction from others.

"Damn, what does that mean? Are they calling us unreasonable trash?" Their faces turned red and white alternately. These people were after all high-ranking members of Wanbao Pavilion; when had they ever been insulted like this?

It was simply a loss of face.

"Martial God Kuangdao, clarify your words for me," many people roared, furious to the point where their anger could almost burst their lungs.

"What's there to say? Let's go," Martial God Kuangdao didn't want to waste words at all. He turned around, ready to leave with Wang Qiming and the others.

"Martial God Kuangdao, you are too much," Zhu Zishen's face changed drastically. If Martial God Kuangdao took Wang Qiming and the others away like this, how could he complete the task given by Piao Miao Palace? He quickly moved to block Martial God Kuangdao, determined to stop him.

"Hmph!" Martial God Kuangdao snorted coldly. He raised his right hand, forming a blade with his palm, and slashed out with a simple but powerful strike. Even though it was just a palm blade, to Zhu Zishen, it felt like a mountain of blades crushing down. With his late-stage Martial God level power, he found himself unable to resist at all.

With a bang, Zhu Zishen was sent flying, spitting out blood as he crashed to the ground in disgrace.

"Heh, this is the Deputy Pavilion Master of Wanbao Pavilion? With such strength, he dares to claim the position of Deputy Pavilion Master? What a joke!" Martial God Kuangdao sneered, causing Zhu Zishen's face to alternate between green and white, his expression becoming incredibly complex.

"Martial God Kuangdao, you are going too far," the crowd's faces turned ashen with anger.

"I'm going too far? You falsely accuse my disciples. Isn't that too much?" Martial God Kuangdao snorted coldly.

"Falsely accuse? Ridiculous, the evidence is conclusive, how is it false?" someone shouted angrily.

Zhuge Qingyun also frowned and said, "Martial God Kuangdao, you say your disciples were falsely accused. Do you have evidence?"

"My word is the evidence."

"..."

The crowd was speechless.

"Zhuge Qingyun, you and I are old acquaintances. I won't make things difficult for you. Today, I declare in front of everyone that my disciples would never steal from the Treasure Pavilion," Martial God Kuangdao said coldly. "It's just a piece of Tianlong Jade. If I truly needed it, would Wanbao Pavilion refuse if we four made a request? Given the talent of my disciples, do they not deserve a piece of Tianlong Jade?"

Zhuge Qingyun couldn't help but frown, showing suspicion. It was indeed true. Although Tianlong Jade was precious, it was meant for gifted individuals. With the status of Martial God Kuangdao and his four companions, along with Wang Qiming's talent, if they had really asked Wanbao Pavilion for it, Wanbao Pavilion might not have refused. Why would they need to steal it?

"This matter is peculiar, but I don't care to investigate. Zhuge Qingyun, you are free to verify it. Today, I lay my words here. If it turns out that my disciples truly committed theft, I will accept punishment and personally bring my disciples to face the consequences. But if you insist on convicting my disciples just because of a piece of Tianlong Jade found in the Celestial Compass, don't blame us four for disregarding past relationships."

With that, Martial God Kuangdao, along with Xuanbing Martial God and the other two, turned and left with Wang Qiming and the others, departing from this place.

"Zhuge Supreme Elder," Zhu Zishen's face changed, urgently looking at Zhuge Qingyun. If Martial God Kuangdao and the others left, his mission would be incomplete.

"Let them go," Zhuge Qingyun said coldly.

"But..." Zhu Zishen wanted to say more but was interrupted by Zhuge Qingyun, who said coldly, "What do you want to do? Martial God Kuangdao has spoken like this. If you want to stop them, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Zhu Zishen was at a loss. To stop Martial God Kuangdao was courting death, wasn't it?
