In the hall of the Left Pulse, the atmosphere was oppressive and silent.
The premature election of a Sect Leader was an enormous blow to the Left Pulse.
Qiao Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Father, don't worry. If no one challenges you on the day of the election..."
"Hmph, there are many who want to challenge me, whether from the Right Pulse or the Main Vein. The elders coveting my position as the Left Pulse Sect Leader. I can't even count them all on both hands. They all know my cultivation has been declining..."
Qiao Zheng shook his head, "Wenxuan, you don't need to comfort me. At this time, what we need to do is prepare early. An early election, according to the Elder Council's wishes, is imperative. Our Left Pulse can only await slaughter."
"I, Qiao Zheng, don't really mind, but I'm worried about you all..."
Qiao Zheng looked at Qin Tian, "Especially you, Qin Tian. You've offended too many people, I fear... the new Sect Leader might target you."
"Hmph, Master, rest easy. If you're not the Sect Leader, I'll automatically withdraw from the Qilin Mountain Sect," Qin Tian said.
"Automatically withdraw? That's easier said than done. Do you know the rules of the Qilin Mountain Sect? To automatically withdraw, you must cripple your martial arts to leave..."
Qiao Zheng's words left Qin Tian dumbfounded.
"Ha ha, they won't even let one leave. Impressive," he sneered.
The crowd was discussing the early election of the Dean when Ma Changqing suddenly arrived with two Right Pulse disciples, full of momentum.
Seeing Qiao Zheng and Qin Tian, his gaze fell on Qin Tian, and he said sternly, "Brother Qiao, Qin Tian, Sect Leader Ning of the Main Vein has summoned you. Come with me to the Main Vein! Now, let's go!"
Qiao Zheng looked bewildered, and Qiao Wenxuan went over, quietly telling Qiao Zheng about Qin Tian's incident a few days ago, where he caused a commotion and injured more than ten Right Pulse disciples and an elder.
After listening, Qiao Zheng was not tense but rather showed a hint of pride. He looked at Qin Tian with satisfaction and said, "Let's go!"
Without a word along the way, the five of them arrived at the Main Vein's council hall. Qin Tian followed Qiao Zheng into the hall, raising his eyes to see Ning Qingyun and Xie Yunzhen, the two Sect Leaders, seated at the top. Then, three elders from both the Main Vein and the Right Pulse sat at the sides, and upon Qin Tian's entrance, their gazes were as if they wanted to eat Qin Tian whole.
Qiao Zheng took his seat at the Sect Leader's position at the top, while Qin Tian stood awkwardly in the hall.
"Qin Tian, do you know why you've been summoned here today?!"
Suddenly, Ning Qingyun shouted at Qin Tian in a dignified tone.
But Qin Tian had been prepared for this. He looked at Ning Qingyun and said, "I don't know."
Ma Changqing said, "Hmph, you don't know? Playing dumb? A few days ago, where did that energy come from when you caused a ruckus in the Right Pulse? Now the Sect Leader is back, and you've chickened out?"
"Elder Ma, didn't you brush your teeth this morning? Why do you speak so foully?" Qin Tian turned to look at Ma Changqing, who immediately felt embarrassed and sneered, "Whether you admit it or not, almost all the Right Pulse disciples saw it at the Right Pulse Training Room, and Elder Sun can testify, even if your Left Pulse disciples would be willing to speak honestly. Hehe, they can also testify, and you still want to deny it?"
"Deny? Deny what?" Qin Tian feigned ignorance, "If you're talking about me going to the Right Pulse to find my friend that day, I have never denied that I went to the Right Pulse. So what?"
"Bastard! You went to the Right Pulse and injured more than ten people, including Yu Wenfeng, Jiang Qiyun, and even Elder Sun Yunkai, and you still have the audacity to boast here!?"
Xie Yunzhen was furious, shouting at Qin Tian. This time, all those involved were from the Right Pulse, so naturally, he was both pained and angry.
But Qin Tian looked at Xie Yunzhen with a grin, "Sect Leader Xie, what do you mean? You're saying that I alone managed to injure them all?"
Qin Tian retorted.
"Isn't that so?" Xie Yunzhen exclaimed angrily.
"Really? You hold me in such high regard? Then, Sect Leader Xie, let me ask you, could you injure them all yourself?" Qin Tian continued to question.
This question truly stumped Xie Yunzhen.
Xie Yunzhen's cultivation was at the Late Stage of the Primordial Pill. If he were to fight Sun Yunkai and the others, those dozen or so people together, including Yu Wenfeng, he himself estimated it would take quite some time to defeat them.
Qin Tian, whom he had clearly seen at the Three Veins Compete Martial Arts a month ago, only had the cultivation of the Primordial Pill Early Stage. Now, it's only been a month. Even if he consumed an Immortal Pill, at best, his cultivation would be Mid Stage of the Primordial Pill.
Mid Stage of the Primordial Pill, able to defeat so many? It's likely that even just Yu Wenfeng and Sun Yunkai alone, Qin Tian couldn't beat them.
But Yu Wenfeng, Sun Yunkai, and even Ma Changqing all said it was indeed Qin Tian who knocked them all down and caused a commotion at the Right Pulse Training Room!
Could it be that Qin Tian was hiding his strength at the Three Veins Compete Martial Arts? It didn't seem like it at the time!
Xie Yunzhen frowned and said, "Bastard! You have no right to question me! Just honestly tell me, were the people in the Right Pulse injured by you?"
"No." Qin Tian flatly denied it.
"How dare you lie!"
Ma Changqing was the first to be enraged, shouting, "Every Right Pulse disciple saw it clearly, Qin Tian, and you still dare to lie?"
"Hehe, Elder Ma, you just mentioned that my Left Pulse disciples were also present. Could it be that what the Right Pulse disciples saw was the truth, whereas what the Left Pulse disciples saw wasn't? The real truth is, Right Pulse Jiang Qiyun took one of my Left Pulse slaves, Zhou Yang. I went to retrieve him. I talked amiably with Brother Jiang Qiyun, and nothing happened. It was just a misunderstanding, that's all."
"Hahaha, Qin Tian, you brat, you lie so effortlessly! Talked amiably? Then tell me, why is Jiang Qiyun still recovering from serious injuries now?"
"Oh? Brother Jiang is injured? That's truly unfortunate. Who injured him? In our Qilin Mountain Sect, not many can injure him, right? I reckon aside from the Five Qilin Prodigies, it could only be the Ultimate Double Masters, am I wrong?"
"You, you... you son of a b**ch, playing dumb with me? I'll make you show your true self!"
Ma Changqing was infuriated by Qin Tian's nonsense and couldn't argue back, so he directly wanted to take action.
"Stop!"
Qiao Zheng shouted, "Brother Ma, it's not your place to teach the disciples of my Left Pulse! Stand down!"
Since Qin Tian had brought glory to the Left Pulse at the Three Veins Compete Martial Arts, Qiao Zheng's voice became much more confident among the Three Veins. His stern shout left Ma Changqing utterly embarrassed, dumbfounded for a while. After glancing at Xie Yunzhen, he angrily retreated and said, "This matter cannot be just glossed over by Qin Tian. Please, Sect Leader, make a clear judgment. Qin Tian must not be allowed to escape punishment! Severe punishment is necessary!"
Qiao Zheng said, "Before the investigation is clear, Elder Ma, please mind your words. Do not target or slander the reputation of my Left Pulse disciples!"
