Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 84

"Sir!" Thomas, Devin, and Alan exclaimed in unison. Their rage gradually subsided as they recognized the presence of a powerful and honorable person.

All three froze upon seeing the sect leader, as his vital energy penetrated the surroundings. None of them had expected the sect leader would come out of his solitude. The last time they saw him was ten years ago, and they thought they could never see him again. Nonetheless, it was still an honor for them to meet him again.

"I watch three of you grow up, from disciples to sect elders. But what is going on here? No matter what happened, you didn't have to battle it out like that," the aged man talked to them with his weak voice. The sect leader of the Ilmen Sect slowly walked to them with an intimidating demeanor. The three men were feared. Finally, the dispute among the three was over because of his sentiment.

When Thomas and Devin Zhao saw the sect leader, they felt desolate and sorrow for him. Ten years ago, the sect leader was a heroic figure, but now he looked like an aged farmer. Time would bring everything away, and nobody could change that, even he was a sect leader. Was he still as powerful as before? Or did he get weaker?

"We are so sorry that our battle interrupted your cultivation, Sir! We didn't mean to do so. We just compared notes about martial arts. I'm sorry our discussion bothered you. Please forgive us, Sir," Thomas said reverently and frantically. Then he quickly walked forth and reached out his hands to hold the sect leader's arm to help him stand. Thomas respected him sincerely, and he felt regret upon letting him witness the commotion among them. Their sect leader had witnessed their immaturity over the discussion.

Little did they know, the sect leader was fully aware of everything, so he snorted and said, "You don't have to lie to me, Thomas. I knew well what was going on." Then, the sect leader waved at Thomas to refuse his help, and continued, "Alan, I understand the pain you have suffered. Of course, it is hard for a father to accept the fact his son has died like that. But rules are rules. You can't break our sect rules because of your family issue. I will ask for justice for you and your son. Stop the fight right now! If the others knew what happens today, the story would only turn into a joke and a scandal among people. Are you sure you three can take it? We will be mocked by everyone. What they would talk about is not a regular battle, but an intensive fight started by a renegade of our sect. Alan, do you want this to happen to our sect? Make sure that you are ready for consequences."

The underlying meaning of the sect leader's gentle speech was discretely impactful. The part of renegade petrified Alan, as he was terrified that the sect leader could have meant something else.

'Does the old man figure out my real plan? But how? He was isolated for years. There's no way for him to discover it, ' Alan wondered anxiously. Fear of being unveiled consumed him, making him clench his fist.

To lessen the sect leader's suspicions, Alan changed his facial expression in a flash, and wept, "But Sir! You don't understand. My poor son! He died so early! How can I take this? Why did this happen to my son?

He was killed innocently. How can I forgive the murderer?"

Alan yelled like a crazy dog as if he was the most distressed person in the world. Then he activated his vital energy under the mad mask, targeting the sect leader secretly. Alan was determined to do what he had planned.

The second the sect leader appeared, Alan's uncle sent him a piece of message through his mind power that it was a good time for Alan to try out the sect leader's cultivation base. It was an opportunity for him to pretend to be insane because of massive sorrow out of his son's death. It was a deceitful strategy for them.

Surprisingly, the sect leader, Michael noticed Alan's energy targeting him at once. 'So, that is what you want? Fine! I will satisfy you, ' he thought mischievously.
