“Chu Tianfan, how dare you...”
“You're getting out of line!”
The elders all let out a low growl of anger at Ye Fan, furious that Ye Fan made them do something so humiliating. We've never even knelt before Ms. Junie, and now we have to do it to him?
To them, there was nothing more shameful than getting on their knees for an outsider.
“I'm getting out of line? What about you? How dare you lay a finger on Junie!” retorted Ye Fan without a second thought.
“That's nonsense! Ms. Junie is only getting punished because she violated our rules. We have every reason to give our Master her due.”
“Not only did you step out of line when you interrupted us, but now you wish to twist the truth as well?”
“If word of your actions ever gets out, the world will know how arrogant and unreasonable you are! I think they'd agree with us that we're the ones getting
bullied.”
Even though the elders were forced into a position of humility, they remained defiant.
“What a joke! Do you think this is me bullying you? Why would I do that when I can kill you all without breaking a sweat? The only reason you're still alive is that I'm determined to unmask you hypocrites!
“You gather in large numbers to deliberately put Junie in a difficult position so that you can punish and humiliate her in front of all your sect members. You said that you were only doing this because she violated your rules, but I know you only wanted to undermine her just so you could take full control of Elysian Hall. You're all just a bunch of scheming old snakes who claimed to be upholding your rules. Do you think you can fool me with your false sense of justice? You people have no shame!” explained Ye Fan while staring coldly at the elders.
He gave the elders no quarter and outright exposed them, shining a light on the truth.
Since the previous head of Elysian Hall had appointed Junie, her position was basically indisputable.
However, none of the elders liked the idea of a weak woman leading the sect, so they had been plotting on manipulating her as their puppet.
Junie's mistake was minor and only warranted punishment in private, but the elders deliberately made a big deal out of it by gathering everyone in the sect to observe the thrashing.
Their only intention was to undermine Junie and make themselves look good by pretending to be strict but fair.
If the elders managed to pull off the punishment in front of all the sect members, it would not be long before they got what they wanted.
Nobody had any idea that the elders were such a devious lot, except for Ye Fan. Having dealt with all kinds of people for the past decade, the man had learned to tell if others had ulterior motives.
After being exposed like that, the hypocritical elders immediately fell dead silent.
Feeling the weight of their guilt, the elders kept their heads and dared not to utter another word.
“Did you really think that Junie was all alone, and she had nobody to protect her? Then let me remind you that she still has the entire Dragon God Hall and me backing her. You will all pay for trying to take advantage of somebody who belongs with me!” Ye Fan's roar was so fierce that it immediately turned everyone's face pale as a sheet.
Petrified, the elders widened their eyes at Ye Fan in shock, for none of them thought that the man would be reckless enough to kill them. How can he be so unsparing! After all, we're like brothers to Junie.
“Junie, please! You have to save us!”
At that moment, Ye Fan had already summoned his infinite energy and condensed it into several Qi blades.
The aura emanating from the man was so intense and fearsome that none even dared to take him on.
Hence, the elders had no choice but to put their hope on the woman hiding behind Ye Fan.
