chapter 13 - Sect leader

From voice that contain the utmost disdain, xiao shen saw an old man beside a wounded young boy. It was the same people who xiao shen was widely defeated.

All of them quickly reported what happened and the elder was in a rage that someone offended. It was mere coincidences that yun yun was about to leave. She was informed of what happened and of course, immediately went to their side.

She was surprised that the person would present himself even after knowing who they were and what place they belong.

"Are you certain that the person that wounded you!?"

"Yes there's no doubt about it! Please elder avenge our sect honor!"

"Wait, elder! There's might mistake! This person is my nalan benefactor we can't let you harm him!"

"Yanran can you tell me what this young man did for your clan?"

Yun Yun couldn't help by being curious of the young man whose very air was mystifying like someone above mortals.

She couldn't feel he was outright arrogant but rather exude confidence that fights gods and immortals.

Once his gaze met with hers, xiao then gave a small smiled towards Yun Yun made her heartbeat rapidly.

"This person had cured my grandfather, please elder it might be a misunderstanding."

"Elder jie is cured!?"

They were surprised the former general was recently cured by an anonymous person. The elder was terrified to hear it as another obstacle was present for their collaboration with the soul hall.

"Yanran what he said is true I was the one beat up this trash!"

Without hesitation the elder dash toward xiao shen with a powerful dou skill. He needed to eliminate someone who's capable of curing a branded poison. If left alive then they would become troublesome.

"Xiao shen!!"

Yanran scream seeing her benefactor was attack without mercy. She couldn't even evade and was lunch into the air.

While drifting in the air she bitterly regretted unable to save him but suddenly felt arms wrapping around her. Yanran open her eyes just to see xiao shen carrying her.

Yun yun couldn't even react fast enough to stop her elder but was surprised the person was unharmed carrying her disciple like a lover. She did not know why she felt lonely looking at them.

[A/N: I'm shit at romance]

"Is this how yun lan sect greet a guest? By attack them without proper explanation?"

The dusk cleared to reveal the elder severed arm. Yun yun was surprised in that instant, he was able to react quickly to counter.

"Blurgh! Bastard you dare wound an elder of the yun lan sect!"

"What do you expect? I'm not a fool to let you kill me."

"Elder how dare you act as if I'm not here!?"

Yun yun was mad that the elder did not even question her opinion in the matter and acted harshly. It was giving the yun lan sect a bad name as a ruthless place.

Xiao shen shook her head knowing how ignorant she was not even realizing that the yun lan sect had become a mere puppet if the hall of soul.

"But sect master this person dare harm our disciple! This is making the yun lan sect look like it can be easily bullied!"

"Old man stop twisting the truth when your clearly wanted to get rid of me."

"Brat! Tell me how you able to wound me!?"

"Why would I tell my secret when your also hiding secrets!?"

Xiao shen smugly smile showing that he knows more than necessary. The elder was shook then thought of killing him once he left the yun lan sect.

Seeing this xiao shen lick his lips knowing that another massacre would come.

"Young man forgive my elder harsh action but you acting far too arrogant."

"My pride is not arrogance but confidences. Sect leader of yun lan do you know why I attack this disciples?"

Xiao shen gestured to the quivering brats that soil their robes when he used his primordial dragon aura. They were lucky to have not died and only fainted.

"Can you enlighten me?"

"Of course, this spoiled brat were arrogantly acting in the jia ma empire like they are the one who speak for the yun lan sect. Don't this give the yun lan sect a bad name? Furthermore they tried to attack without mercy."

Yun yun let a killing intent towards the little brats who was about to wake up but pass out once more from he pressure. She didn't like it when her sect is used for selfish gains.

"Brat do you have proof of what you claim?"

The elder used some pills to heal his wounds but could not restore his missing arm While deathly glared towards xiao shen who was still carrying yanran. He let her be as long she didn't ask to let go.

"Proof? I have many they are the citizen in the market but I doubt they would tell the truth fearing for their lives."

This is the most pitiful thing in any world that as long one has power even justice could easily be twisted.

"But I do have this."

Xiao shen brought out a stone from his engagement rings that contains memory his memory of what happened.

"What is that!?"

"This is a memory stone that could store memory of a person this only apply to memory and not false one."

He toss over the stone still carrying yanran towards yun yun who absorb the events and saw the everything unfold. He created the stone in the moment making sure who absorb it to believe him.

"I saw everything and even how much I try this is the truth. Elder how can you spoil your disciple without teaching proper manners."

"What!? How can you easily believe him!? That stone might have poison your mind!?"

"Enough elder this matter is close, I want your disciple to be locked away in yun lan sect prison for two years."

"B-But sect leader!?"

Yun yun glared towards the elder who accepted defeat then gave last glances to xiao shen cursing him.

"Yanran how long are you going to hug me?"

From his words yanran woke then saw xiao shen suddenly became embarrassed as xiao shen place her down.

"A-Apology for doing something improper."

"I don't mind."

Yun yun was surprised to her disciple acting so flustered. She focus on xiao shen who radiate mysterious air.

"*Cough* I want to apologies in behalf of the yun lan sect."

"It was nothing more than a mere ant. I'm just glad that sect master isn't like the other arrogant people who cant accept flaws."

"…..I see, can I ask for your Name?"

"My name xiao shen."

"Xiao? The same clan as my disciple's fiancée?"

Yun yun eyes widen, surprised that a xiao clan member came to the jia ma empire. She knew it wasn't easy for people from the wu tan city to travel to jia ma empire.

But the most surprising is that her disciple seem far close even if he was the nalan clan benefactor.

"Yes, he was my brother but fear not I have no desire to convince you to let yanran in marrying him."

Once again the sect master was shocked that this person didn't even had the hidden intention of letting yanran marry his brother.

"And as for why was here, young lady yanran gave me a tour of the jia ma empire was ignorant of the places. Still I didn't expect to meet the sect leader so early."

"I see, I hope the first impression does not make the yun lan sect as heartless place."

"I shall keep that in mind. Anyway, I'm curious if sect leader can have little spar with me?"

Yun yun was surprised from the request then tried to sense what cultivation xiao shen was and to her surprised he was crippled with his meridian destroyed.

"H-How did you wound our elder so easily when you're clearly a cripple!?"

Yanran felt the same way when she found out that xiao shen was crippled and wanted to know how he did it. She wanted to know more about xiao shen.

"If you wish to know then sect leader have to defeat me."

The sect leader pride as dou emperor received damage from his words. She didn't wasn't to hurt a crippled but from the confident he exude made her want to fight him.

"Very well come with me."

She gesture for him to follow, the yun lan sect disciple did not find it weird that their sect leader accompanied by yanran but seeing a unknown man made their blood boiled.

They gossiping and cursing the man who was so close with their sect leader. All of them curious what's going on and followed them to a open area where most sparing take places.

"Young master xiao shen I hope you can entertain this one."

Yun yun took out her sword that released small amount of dou qi that slice the ground. She took a stances while her opponent still had a calm demeanor.

The yun lan sect disciple was surprised that their leader was fighting the man. All of them curious who the man was and had the audacity battle their sect leader.

"Let bring out my weapon as well."

Xiao shen spoke calmly then a golden portal appeared behind him shocking everyone present. From the golden portal came out unique design sword with a single curve blade and circular. The sword name was blade of tathagata.
