Chapter 368 - 368 Internal Strife?
368 Internal Strife?
The hall became even noisier as discussions and disputes broke out. It was quite lively.
“Silence!”
An angry shout came from the depths of the hall. Like a special bell, it instantly quaked the noisy discussion in the hall, causing the hall to quieten down. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
From the depths of the hall, six people hurried over.
The young man at the front was wearing a long golden robe with Dragons and Phoenixes painted on it. He had a slender figure and a serious expression on his fair face. A sword hung from his waist.
“Who allows you to talk so freely and speak without thinking?” the person didn’t sit on the throne in the main hall. Instead, she walked around the stage to the front of the crowd and berated them.
The scolding voice was loud and clear, but it was a little strange as if this loud voice was deliberately pressed out, echoing in the wide Hall.
Everyone in the hall fell into silence and didn’t dare to continue speaking.
“Right Protector, we know that we shouldn’t have disturbed the Floating Jade Hall. However, the situation is very dangerous now that the demon cultivators at the bottom of the sea are pressing down on us. The King has not appeared for a long time, which makes us very anxious!” a human race rogue cultivator said.
“You’re just a bunch of clowns. Look at how scared you are. You’ve really lost the face of the Floating Jade Island!” the right protector said in disdain.
“Protector, you’re wrong. The demonic cultivators at the bottom of the ocean are not the same as before. I don’t know why they’ve become so powerful. They’ve already conquered the two big islands Yanhuang and Sacred Soul Islands, and now they’ve changed their target to our Floating Jade Island. I’m afraid…”
The leopard clan’s Beast King, Lin Mu, walked out from the crowd and stood side by side with the human clan’s Dao Foundation cultivators.
“Afraid of what? Yanhuang Island and Sacred Soul Island are just puny humans. They were not powerful, to begin with. It’s just that our King was merciful and didn’t bother with them. Otherwise, what qualifications do they have to stand alongside our Floating Jade Island?” the right protector interrupted Lin Mu’s words. She disdained the Sacred Soul Island, Yan Huang Island, and the human race in one breath and shouted.
The right protector’s words infuriated all the itinerant human cultivators in the hall.
“Right Protector, I know that you humans have some grudges, but you can’t underestimate the Sacred soul Island and the Yanhuang Island because of this. The two Island Masters are both at the peak of the Dao Foundation realm!” the human cultivator who had spoken earlier cupped his hands and said with his head held high.
The human cultivators raised their heads and puffed out their chests as they looked straight at the right protector. Their words were neither haughty nor humble, and they were sonorous and powerful. They immediately won the cheers of the human cultivators behind them, and applause followed.
“Wang Meng, did you eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall? How dare you speak to me like this? are you courting death? It’s not a problem for me to kill you!” the right protector’s face turned ugly. She reached her right hand to her waist and pulled out her sword. She pointed it at the human representative and shouted coldly.
“Right Protector is really powerful. Now that we are facing a great enemy, you don’t want to protect Floating Jade Island. Instead, you are showing off your strength here, delaying us and even intending to commit murder. I really admire you. I wonder if you really dare to disobey the King’s order and stain Floating Jade Hall with blood?” Wang Meng, however, was not afraid at all. He still held his head high and puffed out his chest as he shouted.
“Do you really think that this protector doesn’t dare to kill you? Die!” the anger inside the right protector’s brows grew. The sword light swayed and the cold light was dazzling.
The sword in the right protector’s hand was like an arrow leaving the bow. It carried a strong cold intent and instantly stabbed Wang Meng’s chest as if it was going to penetrate his body.
Floating Jade Hall suddenly fell silent.
Everyone held their breath and looked over in shock.
They were surprised the right protector had drawn his sword without saying a word. They were worried Wang Meng would be too confident and be seriously injured. However, they were also puzzled as to whether the right protector’s sharp sword would hit Wang Meng.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the sharp tip of the right protector’s sword stopped three inches away from Wang Meng’s chest.
The coldness of the sword had almost cut through Wang Meng’s clothes.
Wang Meng let go of the sword hilt behind him and looked to the side with a frown.
If the right protector’s sword dared to advance half an inch further, Wang Meng would attack without hesitation.
Even though they were both in the mortal realm, Wang Meng might not be a match for the right protector.
But if they really fought with their lives, it was hard to say who would die and who would be injured.
“What’s wrong? You want to stop me?” the right protector’s anger turned into dissatisfaction. She turned her head and looked behind her.
“Now that we’re facing a great enemy, it’s not the time to show off. If the king finds out, the consequences will be very serious.” A clear but equally loud voice came from the depths of the hall behind the right protector.
The figure walked out of the darkness.
It was a middle-aged man, his angular face a little pale.
He was wearing a purple robe with Dragons and Phoenixes drawn on it, and he was carrying a treasure sword that gave off a cold light.
His figure was thin, tall, and straight like a pine tree, and there was a smile on his pale face. He walked over with his own pressure.
“Right protector, you must not! Now that the enemy was in front of them, there was no need for internal strife. The Wang Clan Leader was doing this for the safety of Floating Jade Island. I hope that Lord Protector will be magnanimous!” at this moment, the leopard King Lin Mu, who was standing beside Wang Meng, finally recovered from his shock. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands.
“I hope that Lord Protector will be magnanimous and let Wang Clan Leader off!”
“Lord Protector is magnanimous!”
Before Lin Mu’s voice had died away, everyone in the hall had also recovered from their shock and advised him in unison.
“What if I don’t?” the right protector turned a deaf ear to everyone’s shouts and didn’t put down the sword in her hand. She only stared at the person coming out of the darkness and said,
“Since I’ve shown myself, I naturally won’t let you mess around!” the purple-robed man stopped three feet away from the right protector and said indifferently.
“You’ve met the King?” The right protector asked in surprise.
“When the King came back just now, he guessed you would do something out of line, so he asked me to come as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.” The purple-robed man nodded.
“The King still remembers me?” the right protector’s eyes were a little confused, and the sword pointing at Wang Meng fell unconsciously.
“Even if the King’s cultivation reached a bottleneck and he chose to seclude himself for decades, how could he forget you in his heart?” the purple-robed man smiled again and walked toward the right protector.
“Even though you’re not the King’s biological daughter, you’re still his only daughter. Go back to the side hall and rest. Leave this to me!” the purple-robed middle-aged man’s voice became softer and softer. As he approached the right protector, he slowly reached out his right hand and gently grabbed the falling sword, trying to take it from the right protector’s hand.
“You’re talking nonsense! You’ve never even seen the King!” the right protector’s right hand, which was held by the purple-robed man, instantly broke free. Then, with a flash of sword light, he suddenly slashed at the purple-robed man.
The sword intent was sharp, like a falling meteor, and instantly attacked.
The purple-robed middle-aged man was caught off guard and subconsciously retreated. However, he was still a step too slow. The sharp sword intent instantly cut through his front lapel and cut his chest.
Pfft!
The bright red blood was particularly eye-catching, and it appeared in the bright hall, causing everyone to be stunned!
Everyone knew the right protector’s temper.
However, they did not expect the right protector would dare to attack in the Floating Jade Hall, where killing was forbidden.
The right protector actually dared to attack the left protector.
