Chapter 231 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (45)

Shen Congbin’s face was equally filled with disdain. “Shen Zhuo, don’t think that your current appearance can change the fact that you’re a vile person. How dare you claim any worth? The Divine Movement Sect is quite mediocre to accept such filth.”

Gao Yikang, standing tall, added, “Be sensible and hand over the food. And take note, we are inner disciples of the Clear Void Sect. Our Elder is in the late stage of Tribulation Crossing and is just one step away from becoming an immortal.”

One of Gao Yikang’s disciples whispered, “Senior Brother Gao, they are disciples of several Elders from the Divine Movement Sect. The Law Enforcement Elder there has been quite sinister in recent years.”

Gao Yikang smacked the disciple with a harsh reprimand. “How dare you uplift others at the expense of our prestige?”

Zhong Jin wasted no time. He threw away the leg of meat he was holding and cast a spell. “One cannot expect pearls from a dog’s mouth. Clean up your act! Is my Junior Brother someone you can freely insult?”

Fang Xingyun chimed in, “Our Junior Brother Shen is far superior to some of these pretentious people. How dare you criticize him?”

Another wave of spiritual and demonic energy surged toward them.

Sheng Tingfeng added, “Is it really appropriate for you to insult the disciple of our esteemed Master? Truly, it’s a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being skewed. Fortunately, Senior Brother Shen grew up in the Divine Movement Sect.”

Su Wen also contributed with a blast of spiritual energy. “The disciples of the Clear Void Sect are as common as chives in the field—each generation worse than the last. With even people like you being accepted, it’s clear the sect is on a decline.”

Kong Qing struck their knees with a blast of spiritual energy. “Ugly people always cause trouble.”

Sheng Mingchu echoed, “Pah! If your brains are addled, at least stand on your head to shake out the water.”

Shen Zhuo looked at these six people in surprise. His eyes grew misty, his heart was moved by their support.

For the first time, so many people spoke up and acted on his behalf.

Shen Nianyun, Shen Congbin, and Gao Yikang’s faces twisted with rage. However, all seven of them were in the Nascent Soul stage, while Zhong Jin and Shen Zhuo were only one step away from the Soul Transformation stage. They couldn’t match their strength and could only endure the beating.

Zhong Jin drew his sword, his brows furrowing fiercely. “Will you leave or not?”

The other five drew their swords in unison. “Leave!”

Shen Nianyun and her group retreated a few steps. One of the disciples advised, “Senior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Shen, and Senior Brother Gao, let’s go. Who doesn’t know that Divine Movement Sect people are the most protective of their own? Why provoke them?”

Their own stupidity had resulted in this beating!

Shen Congbin did not forget to make threats. “Very well, you’ll pay for this. My father, the Ancestor, and the Clear Void Sect will not spare you!”

Zhong Jin’s expression grew colder. “Come and fight!”

The other five echoed, “Come and fight!”

It seemed as though they had the backing of a powerful force.

Disciples of the Divine Movement Sect were known for their unity. When one was bullied, they would retaliate.

Shen Nianyun, Shen Congbin, and Gao Yikang never expected such a straightforward response. Unable to win, they had no choice but to leave in a disgraced retreat.

Once the others had left, the six of them sheathed their swords. Zhong Jin patted his little Junior Brother on the back. “Junior Brother, why are you dazed? When they insult you, you should fight back. If you don’t, you’ll always be bullied. Remember, Master told us to avoid trouble when outside but not to fear it. If something happens, she will back us up, and the sect will support us too.”

Fang Xingyun added, “Yes, Junior Brother Shen, if you encounter such people again, give them a little lesson if you can. If not, retreat first and find a chance for revenge later.”

Shen Zhuo looked at the faces around him, his hardened heart softened slightly.

He murmured, “I understand.”

“Big brother, I’m not willing to accept this,” Shen Nianyun said, wildly hacking at the air with her sword.

Gao Yikang grumbled, “Do you think I’m content with this? Is that lowly scum even worthy of practicing immortal cultivation?”
