42: C42 Crisis Resolved

C42 Crisis Resolved

As the Grand Elder's eyes glowed brighter and brighter, the Second Elder realized that he was up to something. He knew the Grand Elder's character. If he valued Lin Chuan's abilities, he would not care about the sect's rules.

So he reacted immediately. The Second Elder hastily whispered into the Grand Elder's ear, "Grand Elder, his actions are a taboo in the sect. He casually killed an inner sect disciple and completely disregarded the sect's rules! Also, the person he killed was Qin Xuan, who is the most talented disciple in our sect!"

"Since he was able to kill Qin Xuan, don't you think that it proves that he's more talented than Qin Xuan?"

When the Grand Elder heard him, he used just a single sentence to make the Second Elder choke on his own words. He was utterly speechless.

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, it is a survival of the fittest. Qin Xuan's strength was not remarkable enough, so his death isn't so much of a loss." The Grand Elder glanced at Yue Feng and maintained an indifferent expression as he spoke.

Oh hearing what he said, the Second Elder's expression became very ugly. He reckoned that the Grand Elder had already decided to protect Lin Chuan. If that was the case, then he wouldn't be able to kill Lin Chuan again.

Moreso, with the protection of the Grand Elder, no one in the sect would dare to offend Lin Chuan in the future. At that time, he would equally have to put up with Lin Chuan!

"No, Grand Elder, he does not deserve to live. His mind is corrupt. I have to kill him now and rid our sect of the heretic!"

Realizing that he would no longer have a chance in the future, the Second Elder continued. He was willing to accept punishment from the Grand Elder, if that was what it would take. Right now, all that mattered was that he got rid of Lin Chuan.

As soon as he said those words, the golden bell suddenly tightened. Lin Chuan, who was inside it, let out a painful cry. His entire body was being squeezed and he felt he would explode at any moment. He was about to be crushed into a meat paste.

"How dare you!"

Right at that moment, a highly imperious voice echoed. With that soft bellow from the grand elder, the golden bell began to crack right before everyone's eyes. It cracked into countless fragments and finally exploded!

Lin Chuan was safe. He took a deep breath and his face was already bright red. He was only a thread away from death just now. Had the grand elder not acted quickly, he probably would have been dead already.

On seeing the golden bell shatter, everyone there sucked in a breath of cold air. That was a high category Mystery Realm spirit treasure, but it was actually completely shattered by a single sentence from the Grand Elder. Wasn't this a bit too terrifying?

"Who knows what realm the Grand Elder's strength is at? I'm really terrified right now."

"I heard that Grand Elder's strength is even greater than the sect master's. He's definitely on a realm that we may never reach in our entire lives..."

The inner sect disciples discussed ardently among themselves. When the Second Elder heard their voices, his face became horrid.

"His talent is outstanding. He is the most talented person I have ever met in our sect. I don't have to remind you of what to do, do I?"

At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly turned around to look at the Second Elder. He spoke calmly to him. The meaning in his words were very obvious.

"I understand."

Yue Feng did not utter any more word. He knew quite well that his strength was trivial when compared with the Grand Elder's might. If he dared to disobey the orders of the Grand Elder, he may never have a say in the sect anymore.

Everyone heard everything the Grand Elder said. At that moment, they all wished to be in Lin Chuan's place. To be so highly valued by the Grand Elder was something that even Lin Chuan would give up several lifetimes of good fortune to have.

When Xia Ruoxue saw that her master appreciated Lin Chuan's talent, she was full of smiles. Now, it seemed that Lin Chuan's days of trouble in the sect were finally over.

"Grand Elder, thank you for your commendation. However, I still have one more favour to ask of you."

Lin Chuan and Xia Ruoxue exchanged glances. Then, he looked at the Grand Elder and put his fists together as a sign of respect as he spoke.

"If what you want to ask me is to give you access to the sect's cultivation resources or the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, then I'll grant you that."

The Grand Elder could not remember the last time he set eyes on someone as talented as Lin Chuan. At that moment, he would gladly grant him any request he made. So long as Lin Chuan stayed in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and grew his strength... 'Maybe he'll be another pillar of our sect in the future.' thought the Grand Elder.

These were the things that every inner sect disciples dreamed of. If they had access to cultivation resources, then they would rapidly improve their cultivation. Also, a chance to enter the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was an opportunity to increase one's strength. They couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan in a different light.

However, Lin Chuan shook his head. "I don't want any of that. My master, also the Fourth Elder of the sect, was imprisoned by the Second Elder because he stood up for me. Now, I wish to plead on behalf of my master and ask for your help. Kindly grant me this request."

When the Second Elder heard what Lin Chuan asked for, his face darkened. He didn't expect that Lin Chuan would dare to plead with the Grand Elder on behalf of the Fourth Elder.

But what shocked him even more was that the Grand Elder waved his hand, and outrightly agreed.1

No one would dare disobey the Grand Elder's orders. Even the Second Elder did not dare go against him. When he saw the Grand Elder nod his head, Lin Chuan smiled heartily.

He knew that the Second Elder must have been very uncomfortable at the moment, like a cat on hot bricks. Back then, he personally locked the Fourth Elder up, but now, all he could do was watch helplessly as the Grand Elder released the Fourth Elder, and there was nothing he could do about it.

When he saw Lin Chuan's proud smile, the Second Elder clenched his fists. He wished that he could kill Lin Chuan there and then. It was a hopeless feeling, like having an ant between your fingers and yet unable to squash it. He was extremely frustrating.

Howbeit, the Second Elder didn't dare to act rashly, because the Grand Elder was standing right there. However, his countenance gradually returned to normal. He would never forget what had happened. Even if the Grand Elder wanted to protect Lin Chuan, he still had countless ways to get rid of him. There was no need to rush. His time would come and he would make Lin Chuan pay dearly for it.

In the end, the Second Elder left with the anger in his heart. As the Grand Elder swept his gaze across the disciples, they too couldn't stay any longer and left one after another.

"Master, Lin Chuan is indeed a rare talent."

At this time, Xia Ruoxue walked to the side of the Grand Elder and spoke proudly to him.

"Before Lin Chuan appeared, I doubted you. But now, I have to say that our Ten Thousand Beast Sect has a future." The Grand Elder squeezed out a smile. He was quite satisfied with Lin Chuan. If not that Lin Chuan had a master already, he would have taken him as his disciple.

"Even though I have helped you resolve this crisis now, it doesn't mean that you won't face any more threats in the sect. As you know, I am old now and I barely involve myself with the sect matters. If you get into any more troubles in the future, you will have to deal with it yourself."

The Grand Elder looked deeply at Lin Chuan. Before Lin Chuan could nod, he vanished from there like a whirl wind and in an instant Xia Ruoxue and Lin Chuan were alone.

"Thank you very much. You must have spent the past few days trying to convince the Grand Elder to help, right?" Lin Chuan's eyes were filled with gratitude. He knew that it wasn't easy task for Xia Ruoxue to have gotten the Grand Elder to help him.
