Chapter 728: 595 Slapping the Face, Yaoyao’s Birthday [1 more update]_2
If Shadow is here, who is that in Continent O?!
The Second Elder was equally shocked, “You…”
“It seems that the Xie Family no longer wishes to be part of the Judicial Hall,” Shadow said lightly, glancing at the Left Protector who had just entered. He chuckled, “Left Protector, aren’t you over a hundred years old? Don’t you care about your descendants?”
“Can you still preserve your honor in your old age if you continue ?”
The Left Protector’s complexion darkened.
Indeed, Shadow’s age was a mystery in the Judicial Hall.
But truly, he was very young.
The Left Protector, venerated and respected, found it very embarrassing to be reprimanded in public by someone of a younger generation.
However, according to the rules set by the Judicial Hall, Shadow was right in every claim.
Within the Judicial Hall, Shadow’s status was equal to that of the Elders Council, and he possessed a veto vote.
Shadow’s cultivation wasn’t as high as his, but his power was greater.
The Left Protector’s face was unable to save, his fists clenched until his bones crackled.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped the face of Patriarch Xie.
Patriarch Xie, who hadn’t even reached the level of Ancient Martial Grandmaster, was sent flying with a slap.
He rolled on the ground several times and crashed into a pillar with a “bang.”
His face paled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Third Elder stood beside the Second Elder, knowing they were in the wrong, and remained silent.
“All of you, get out!” the Left Protector said with a face ashen. “Unless you have evidence, keep your baseless accusations to yourselves!”
The people from the Xie Family left dejectedly.
The Left Protector took a deep breath, turned around, and said through clenched teeth, “Are you satisfied now?”
“Left Protector, your words are quite interesting,” Shadow said with a low chuckle, nonchalantly. “Someone challenges the rules set by the Judicial Hall, and when it comes to assigning punishment, why would I be satisfied?”
The Left Protector, infuriated to the point of mental collapse, had a twisted face.
He snorted coldly and strode away.
As the situation calmed down, Wen Fengmian gave a slight nod to the presiding seats before leaving the Judicial Hall as well.
After the crowd dispersed, silence ensued once more.
Only then did Shadow raise his hand and remove the mask.
Her gaze was somber as she looked at the blood on the ground, filled with worry.
Her cultivation might be ranked first in the Ancient medical field.
But in the Ancient Martial World, it was merely above average.
If the old ancestors from the Ancient Martial Families were to act, she couldn’t protect her mentor and Fu Yunshen at all.
Now, the time spent refining Ancient Martial Arts had become a crippling weakness.
Although Ying Zijin didn’t mention it, Foo Xi could somewhat guess that her mentor must have encountered some danger, necessitating a fresh start in training.
Medical skills wouldn’t be affected, and as long as one could condense a bit of Inner Strength, one could learn Ancient Medicine.
But for Ancient Martial Arts, the impact was far too great.
After sitting quietly for a while longer, Foo Xi straightened her clothes and left the Judicial Hall.
In the Ancient medical field.
Foo Chen, as always, was lying in a rocking chair, sleeping.
Ever since Ying Zijin taught him how to cultivate Inner Strength even while sleeping, he had lost all desire to stay awake.
Then, he was kicked into the lake by Foo Xi, who had returned to check on his studies, while he was dreaming.
Foo Chen was nearly out of breath and, shivering cold, quickly climbed out of the lake.
He felt somewhat wronged, “Ancestor, I was cultivating.”
“I don’t care whether you were cultivating or not,” Foo Xi said indifferently. “All I saw was you sleeping.”
He could only sit down and pick up some herbs nearby.
He started chatting with Foo Xi in fits and starts, “Hey, Ancestor, the Grandmaster mentioned she had other disciples. Have you met them?”
“Other disciples?” Foo Xi was startled and frowned, “I haven’t heard the Master mention them.”
Nevertheless, Foo Xi indeed felt enlightened, as if showered with divine wisdom.
Over two hundred years ago, her mentor’s Ancient Martial Cultivation was exceedingly high.
Forget about the Lin, Xie, and Yue families, with a wave of her hand, Ying Zijin could have outright obliterated the entire Ancient Martial World.
If her mentor had disciples in the Ancient Martial World as well, who could they be?
Foo Xi furrowed her brows and hurried to the Scripture Pavilion.
She intended to see which well-known figures in the Ancient Martial World could match up to her mentor’s disciples.
Ying Zijin received a call from Wen Fengmian, “Yaoyao, as you expected, the Xie Family came to the Judicial Hall.”
Hearing this, she glanced at Fu Yunshen beside her, “Hmm, how did things go?”
“It’s all good,” Wen Fengmian said. “The Xie Family has left, and it’s unlikely the Lin and Yue families will come.”
Ying Zijin gave a slight nod.
The Xie Family was the most impulsive, and once they learned of Devil’s existence, they would be the first to rush to the Judicial Hall.
With the Xie Family’s example before them, the Lin Family would not act rashly.
