Chapter 198 Favoritism
Shen Feng's voice reached every person present.
Bewildered gazes converged upon Qiu Zhongsheng's face.
Fortunately, Qiu Zhongsheng had concealed his reaction well, his body had resumed its natural state.
Why did this masked man know everything? However, now wasn't the time to consider that. If this matter were to be exposed, then from this day forth, Qiu Zhongsheng would no longer have a place in the Martial Arts World.
Xiang Taiqing's observational skills were very keen, and he had just noticed that the Great Elder's body had stiffened for a moment. A bad premonition vaguely arose in his heart. Could it be that everything the masked man said was true?
Sitting below, Shi Haoyan's eyes narrowed slightly, his face displaying a contemplative expression.
"There's something off about this Great Elder from the Taiyi Sect," Shi Menglan murmured in a low voice, audible only to Shi Haoyan.
Shi Haoyan glanced at his daughter and whispered back, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yet, in his heart, he shared the same notion as Shi Menglan. There was definitely something fishy about Qiu Zhongsheng, the Great Elder! If what the masked man had said was true, then this masked man was no ordinary person! But he still felt the masked man was being too reckless.
Uncle Zhong and Ji Yunhan were stunned for a few seconds, they had no doubts about what Senior Shen had said.
Qiu Zhongsheng calmed down and retorted, "Nonsense, I am the Great Elder of the Taiyi Sect. Who do you think you are to demand that I disrobe in public? Are you trying to humiliate our Taiyi Sect?"
With these words,
All the other members of the Taiyi Sect were united against the outside, demanding their Great Elder to disrobe was like slapping the Taiyi Sect in the face! The Taiyi Sect was a reputable and orthodox influence in the Martial Arts World, and if word of this spread, wouldn't it become a laughingstock?
Xiang Taiqing's emotions stabilized, judging from Qiu Zhongsheng's reaction earlier, it was very likely that this matter was indeed related to him.
He sighed in his heart, Qiu Zhongsheng was not only the Great Elder of the Taiyi Sect but also an Innate Grandmaster within the sect.
If the Taiyi Sect were to lose an Innate Grandmaster, it would undoubtedly be a devastating loss.
However, there was still a sense of justice in Xiang Taiqing's heart, but considering the interests of the Taiyi Sect, he naturally had to stand on the side of the Great Elder. He stared at Shen Feng and said, "Today is the Taiyi Sect's annual grand event. By making the Great Elder disrobe in public, how can the Taiyi Sect maintain its standing in the Martial Arts World afterward?"
"Let's do this. Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, you shall stay at the Taiyi Sect for a while, I will surely look into this matter."
Xiang Taiqing planned to send the Shi Family away and then deal with this issue. He did not intend to kill Ji Yunhan and the others.
However, if the matter turned out to be true, it absolutely could not be leaked. He would have to take the lives of Ji Yunhan and the others into his own hands.
Uncle Zhong and Ji Yunhan, standing beside Shen Feng, believed in his strength, but their hearts still raced as they watched Xiang Bin and the others approach menacingly.
It was then,
Shen Feng's figure moved as well, without emitting a trace of energy. With his capabilities, no one in today's Martial Arts World could sense his level of cultivation.
Xiang Bin and the others only saw a blur before their eyes.
A sense of horror suddenly gripped Xiang Bin's heart; his eyes completely failed to capture Shen Feng's figure.
A crisp "smack!" echoed through the air.
Xiang Bin felt a burning pain on his face as a slap sent him flying. His right cheek was battered to a pulp, teeth spilled continuously from his mouth as his body flew several meters back.
The other ten members of the Enforcement Hall couldn't react in time.
Shen Feng's arm swung out.
Sharp surges of energy instantly swept toward the ten members of the Enforcement Hall.
The surges of energy all struck their chests.
"Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!—"
Being hit in the chest, mouthfuls of blood sprayed from their mouths, and then they all fell to the ground, motionless.
This scene unfolded within just a few seconds.
After all, Xiang Bin was of the Acquired State ninth layer, and those from the Enforcement Hall were all between the fifth and eighth layers of the Acquired State.
In just a few seconds, all these men had been defeated by the masked man before them?
Xiang Taiqing, who had been standing calmly on the platform, now had his eyes twitching uncontrollably, and his facial expression completely froze, especially seeing Xiang Bin's battered face, rage seemed ready to burst from his eyes.
What level was the masked man's cultivation? When he made his move, he hadn't emitted any energy at all, making it impossible for them to gauge his real cultivation level.
Even Qiu Zhongsheng, a Mid-Stage Innate, might not have done much better.
This masked man must also be an Innate Grandmaster!
