Eternal Sacred King

2171 Sword Discourse Arena

Yang Ruoxu was still wearing a white robe. His face was defined and his skin was slightly dark. He glared at Elder Teng with a deep gaze and a dignified expression.

Su Zimo was relieved when he saw Yang Ruoxu.

He had a good impression of this senior brother of the inner sect.

There was naturally a hint of familiarity in his heart because Yang Ruoxu was also from the lower worlds.

Furthermore, back in the Immortal Sect Selection, it was Yang Ruoxu’s integrity and persistence that allowed him to break free from Prince Yuan Zuo’s pursuit and join the academy.

Given Senior Brother Yang’s character, he would definitely not stand by idly if he knew the entire situation.

This time round, before Su Zimo and Elder Teng could speak, Princess Scarlet Rainbow stood out and recounted the matter in a few words.

The truth of the matter was not complicated.

“Elder Teng, as an outer sect Disciplinary Elder, your decision earlier was inappropriate,”

Yang Ruoxu said, “In Heaven and Earth Academy, if the law enforcement is unfair, how are we going to convince the masses and reassure the disciples of the academy?!”

Elder Teng smiled embarrassedly and wanted to argue.

However, when he met with Yang Ruoxu’s gaze, his aura weakened instantly as he lowered his head and averted the latter’s eyes.

Yang Ruoxu cultivated the Righteousness Sutra and his eyes were filled with righteousness. He was unyielding and even dared to confront Zither Immortal Meng Yao.

Elder Teng’s cultivation realm was already inferior to Yang Ruoxu. Coupled with the fact that he was feeling guilty, he did not dare to say anything after being glared at by Yang Ruoxu.

“This time round, on account that you might have done it in a moment of foolishness, I won’t hold it against you,”

Yang Ruoxu’s eyes were bright as he looked at Elder Teng deeply, as though he could see through all his secrets. “Otherwise, given your mistake this time round, it’s enough to strip you of your position as the Disciplinary Elder!”

“Y-Y-Yes!”

Elder Teng was sweating profusely and his aura from earlier on was gone. He lowered his head obediently. “Thank you for your forgiveness, Senior Brother Yang. I was indeed a little muddle-headed earlier on.”

“Yang Ruoxu, you sure are impressive!”

Right then, a mocking voice sounded from midair not far away.

Immediately after, a figure descended.

Many cultivators were shocked when they saw who it was and bowed one after another, shouting, “Greetings, Senior Brother Pang!”

The intruder wore blue robes and carried a long sword on his back. His black hair was tied simply behind his back and he had sword-like brows.

The most striking thing about this person was his hands.

His fingers were long and fair and he was born with a pair of hands that were meant to hold swords!

After Su Zimo joined Heaven and Earth Academy, he entered seclusion for a thousand years and did not have much interaction with the academy, so he naturally did not know this person.

Princess Scarlet Rainbow sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness, “This is an inner sect disciple, Pang Yu. He has a powerful background and is a sword cultivator. It’s said that his combat strength can be ranked in the top five of the inner sect! He might even be stronger than Senior Brother Yang Ruoxu!”

Su Zimo nodded.

After Pang Yu arrived, Elder Teng who was bowing earlier on was no longer obsequious. He puffed his chest and was invigorated!

From the looks of it, there was a high chance that Elder Teng’s backing was this inner sect disciple, Pang Yu.

However, Su Zimo could not understand why he would have a feud with Pang Yu since he did not know the latter at all.

Why was Pang Yu targeting him?

“Senior Brother Pang,”

When Yang Ruoxu saw Pang Yu, he cupped his fists expressionlessly.

In the cultivation world, most people referred to others as senior brothers or junior brothers by their cultivation realms.

If their cultivation realms were the same, it would be measured by how long they had been in the sect.

Both of them were Grade 9 Heaven Immortals, but Pang Yu had joined the sect for a longer time than Yang Ruoxu.

“Junior Brother Yang, you’re only an inner sect disciple. Do you think the position of the academy’s Disciplinary Elder is something you can change casually?”

Pang Yu glared at Yang Ruoxu and said coldly.

“Indeed, I can’t change it,”

Yang Ruoxu’s expression was unchanged. “However, if Elder Teng were to enforce the laws unfairly and I report it to the academy, he won’t be able to retain his position, right?”

“It’s not up to you whether or not he can retain it!”

Pang Yu sneered, “Junior Brother Yang, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking! You’re from the lower worlds and so is Su Zimo. That’s why you’re thinking of ways to protect him!”

“This is the academy and you’re not even the number one of the inner sect, Yang Ruoxu. It’s not your place to call the shots in the academy!”

“Senior Brother Pang, you’re making things sound too serious,”

Yang Ruoxu replied indifferently, “Since there’s such a huge controversy about this matter, why don’t we report it to the academy and ask the elders to make a decision?”

When he heard that, Elder Teng panicked.

He knew this the best.

Su Zimo was completely innocent in this matter.

If it was reported to the academy, he would be the one punished. At that time, as Yang Ruoxu had said, he might not even be able to retain his position as the Disciplinary Elder.

Pang Yu’s expression darkened.

He knew in his heart that he would only embarrass himself if this matter was reported to the academy.

Right then, Elder Teng rolled his eyes and suddenly said, “Senior brothers, please don’t spoil your relationship. The affairs of the outer sect are just small matters. It’s nothing much.”

“In my opinion, let’s forget about this matter,”

Elder Teng said with a smile.

Pausing for a moment, he changed the topic and looked at Su Zimo who was not far away. “However, I have a personal feud with Su Zimo!”

“That person boasted shamelessly earlier that I wouldn’t even get the chance to retaliate if he fought me. All the cultivators present heard that clearly!”

“I heard it!”

Immediately, some cultivators in the crowd cheered.

Elder Teng had a stern expression as he said in a deep voice, “It’s fine if you disrespect my position as the Disciplinary Elder if you think that I had enforced the laws unfairly. However, I won’t allow you to provoke and underestimate my many years of cultivation like this!”

Su Zimo raised his brow slightly and looked at Elder Teng. “So, what do you want, Elder Teng?”

“This is a personal feud between us and has nothing to do with the rules of the academy. I don’t need to use my status as the Disciplinary Elder to suppress you.”

Elder Teng said righteously, “However, you spoke rudely. Let’s compete on the Sword Discourse Arena!”

“Shameless!”

When she heard that, Princess Scarlet Rainbow cursed internally.

Many cultivators in the surroundings revealed looks of disdain.

Although Elder Teng phrased it nicely, his cultivation realm was that of a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal while Su Zimo was only a Grade 8 Earth Immortal. The two of them were a major cultivation realm apart.

Although it was clear that he was bullying the weak, he made it sound upright.

Yang Ruoxu frowned slightly. “Elder Teng, the difference in cultivation between the two of you is too great. There’s no need for this competition, right?”

“We can do without competing, sure,”

Elder Teng smiled. “If Su Zimo comes over obediently and bow to apologize to me, I can forgive him.”

“If he doesn’t apologize, he’ll have to take responsibility for everything he said!”

Elder Teng had sharp eyes and could long tell that given Su Zimo’s personality and style of doing things, there was no way he would apologize in public.

“You have to accept punishment for spouting nonsense!”

Elder Teng looked at Su Zimo and sneered, “This is the academy and life and death fights are not allowed on the Sword Discourse Arena. Don’t worry, I’ll spare your life. However, I’ll leave you an unforgettable lesson!”
