22 The Arrival of the Scorpion Gang

For the next week, Xue Ji focused on cultivating. The situation of the Luo Mountain Sword Sect was as calm and peaceful as it was before that woman's arrival. Only Chang Ying was still burning with anger without being able to do anything.

The girl was standing under the Feng Lian statue with a face full of grievances. Three incense sticks were burned and placed near the stream of a small waterfall that was near the giant statue of Ancestor Feng Lian.

At that moment, two sect disciples suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Miss Chang, something bad has happened!"

Chang Ying's brow furrowed deeply. Her expression was slightly sullen. "What made you guys so scared?"

"Miss Chang, some foreigners have come and made trouble at the foot of the mountain. They asked to meet with the sect master. We already informed that the sect master is in closed-door meditation. Unfortunately, they keep pushing!"

"Which group are you referring to? Do they use a special identity?" asked Chang Ying.

The two disciples looked at each other. One of them then replied, "They use hook-shaped weapons. Nobody wants to tell us where they come from."

"Are any of the students injured?"

The two youths nodded immediately. "If it's not dealt with soon, maybe they'll manage to break in."

Chang Ying's expression turned even more serious upon hearing that. "Quickly inform the elders!"

"All right!"

The two disciples immediately went to call the sect elders. It didn't take long for several elders to come together. They immediately approached Chang Ying, who was already waiting.

"Chang Ying, go to your room. We will settle this matter," said Elder Ji, who was present there. The other elders agreed with his words. After all, they all knew how Chang Ying's body was.

"No. I want to see who dares to cause trouble here!" said Chang Ying coldly.

"What can you do if we cause trouble here, Girl?"

Everyone was shocked to hear a strange voice that suddenly appeared. They immediately turned to the source of the sound and saw several figures appearing suddenly in the courtyard.

The number of newcomers was not much, only five people. Two of them were gripping the collars of the two Luo Mountain Sword Sect disciples, who looked deathly pale.

Suddenly the two men threw the two detained disciples to the ground in a violent manner. Guiltlessly they laughed. "Where is Sect Leader Chang Yang?"

Elder Ji, who saw such an arbitrary attitude, immediately exclaimed in displeasure. "How insolent! What makes the people of the Scorpion Gang so bold in front of us?!"

Chang Ying's brow furrowed at the name of the group. She had heard of the Scorpion Gang, which had a bad reputation. However, so far, she had never met them in person.

The Scorpion Gang is a mysterious organization group that controls the Scorpion Valley on Mount Du. The valley has always been known as a den of scorpions with deadly poison.

It is said that the Scorpion Gang extracts the poison of the scorpion and uses it to refine their hook weapons. If someone was hit by that weapon then that person's death was certain.

However, everyone should know that Mount Du is far from Mount Luo. How did the group get here? And for what reason were they looking for Sect Leader Chang?

One of the Scorpion Gang's members, who had just thrown out a sect disciple, suddenly laughed. "You ask about what made us so brave? Hmm, what is it that makes us have to be afraid of you?"

The question made Chang Ying point at the man angrily. "You!"

Elder Yan immediately pulled Chang Ying back before the girl exploded with anger. Those people from the Scorpion Gang had mysterious cultivation levels. They seemed to be deliberately hiding their strength. It made him feel like he had to be more careful.

Elder Yan, who was slightly wiser, first stepped forward to help the injured disciple. After confirming that the disciples' lives were not in danger, he turned to face the people from the Scorpion Gang.

"Fellow Daoists, have we offended you? If you guys have business with us, why should our disciple be injured?" asked Elder Yan.

The other elder nodded in agreement. They stared at the newcomers with displeasure. Those people from the Scorpion Gang dared to injure the sect disciples under their supervision. That meant they had no respect for the Luo Mountain Sword Sect at all.

The anger of the elders made the Scorpion Gang smile happily. They smirked and then said, "It's up to us whether we're going to hurt someone or not. Hmm. If you immediately meet us with your sect masters, I will consider leaving this ugly place immediately."

"Absolutely bastard! I'm not going to let you guys act arbitrarily here!" Elder Gu shouted. Powerful spiritual energy suddenly exploded from where the old man was. His cultivation level, which was at the 2nd level of the sky realm, was finally revealed.

Chang Ying and the few disciples present immediately felt a strong suppression. They took a few steps back to reduce that oppressive might.

Elder Gu's figure disappeared and then in an instant appeared before the members of the Scorpion Gang. His purple robes and gray hair seemed to flutter in the wind. The older man looked hideous with his cold expression.

However, who would have thought that it would turn out to be the man who was the leader of the Scorpion Gang's group only displaying a mocking smile upon seeing Elder Gu's strength.

"Only beginners at the 2nd level of the sky realm? I didn't expect that the elder in this sect was just trash!"

Elder Gu's anger immediately exploded after hearing that. Although he was not the strongest elder, he was already a talented elder. There are still other elders who even experience bottlenecks after entering the 1st level of the sky realm.

"Hold your arrogance until you can beat me!" shouted Elder Gu. His palms moved forward at lightning speed.

Boom!

There was a powerful explosion. Dust scattered along with the shaking ground. Everyone could see the figure of Elder Gu being pushed back several steps.

The feelings of the elders became uncertain. Forget the 2nd level of the sky realm. Even if one were at the 3rd level, one would not be able to beat that guy from the Scorpion Gang.

This was because that man was at the peak of the 4th level of the sky realm. How could Elder Gu possibly be able to defeat him?
