Junie had enough. “There, I said it. What are you going to do about it? Overthrow me as head of the sect if you can!”
Who do they think they are to drive a wedge between me and Ye Fan? It's ludicrous that they would expect me to give up a decade-long friendship with him over a few words!
Despite how indignant she was, Junie could not do much beyond angering the elders of the Elysian Faction with her words.
She knew the old men valued the sect's reputation even more than their own lives. Their faces turning purple with rage felt more satisfying to Junie than beating them.
As angry as they were, the elders of the Elysian Faction could not do anything to reverse the decision of their volatile and unpredictable leader.
As much as the elders wanted to, they could not overthrow Junie and would not dare to kill her. It had never been something the Elysian Faction elders have felt the need to resort to.
After all, Junie was the predecessor chosen by the old Elysian Master. At most, they did not have much faith and respect for Junie, but they never dared conspire to hurt Junie.
“Ms. Junie, you will suffer the consequences if you insist on going your own way. It won't be long before the Elysian Faction will be in trouble because of your actions. I hope for your sake that you would have a proper explanation for the spirits of the past Elysian Masters! Let's go!”
By that point, Junie had arrived at an impasse with the rest of the sect. Driven insolent by desperation, the elders shouted angrily at Junie before turning on their heels and stalking off.
Junie paid their disobedience no mind.
She had her own plan to carry out to rectify the sect by training new recruits.
Although the sect elders often opposed Junie when it came to matters regarding Ye Fan, they still fulfilled their duties in aiding their leader with due diligence.
After all, like Junie, they shared the common goal of restoring the sect's former glory.
However, the quiet barely lasted a few days before it was disrupted again when an uninvited guest arrived outside the gates of the Elysian Faction.
The large number of new recruits were amazed at the sight of the beautiful woman who looked out of place in their midst like she was an exiled angel from heaven. All at once, they flocked around her to chat.
“My, what a beautiful girl! I say, miss, are you also here to join our sect? I'm afraid to disappoint you with the news that the Elysian Faction does not accept female disciples. However, do not despair! Perhaps you can be the wife of one. What do you say, eh?”
To their unpleasant surprise, the beautiful woman before them was obviously not as meek as they initially assumed. “Get lost!” she snapped in response to the frivolous attempts at courting her.
Hum!
Accompanying her retort was a sound like muffled thunder which swept across the entire courtyard in a fierce gust of wind and sent the prospective disciples flying in every direction as they coughed up blood amidst groans of pain.
However, the woman spared one of them.
The lucky one fell to his knees in his extreme fright at such a bizarre phenomenon.
Just the sound of her voice is capable of such damage! Is this what Supremes are capable of? This must be none otherthan the head of the Chu Sect.
The one left almost wet his pants in fear at that very thought.
There were not many female Supremes. The two most famous ones were Tang Yun, the head of the Chu Sect, and the other, Moryana, who had been missing from China for many years.
It is most likely that this ruthless woman before me is Tang Yun, the head of the Chu Sect.
“Please,” the man begged, “spare me!”
The woman only replied, “Have the head of your sect come out to meet me. I have something to ask him.”
