Chapter 810: Grand Master Tianchen!
“Regarding the recent half-spirit race matter, I believe Grand Master Shangqing is already informed,” said Zheng Ze.
Shangqing nodded slightly and said, “I know, and I also know your teacher came out of seclusion yesterday. The day before yesterday, we had an internal meeting among the Order members to discuss this half-spirit race matter.”
“It’s like this: my teacher plans to establish an elite team specifically to search for clues related to the half-spirit race within the North Capital area… but currently, we’re short-handed, so he wants to borrow some elite members from the Order organization,” Zheng Ze explained.
“Elite… those who can be called elite mages in our Order are at least four-star and above. But knowing Huaixu, he definitely wants to borrow mages who are five-star and above,” Shangqing said with a smile.
Seeing Shangqing’s response, Zheng Ze felt hopeful and asked, “Grand Master Shangqing, are you willing to…”
“Personally, I’m certainly willing, but… even if I send my own students, we still need to get approval from Grand Master Tianchen…” Shangqing said.
Zheng Ze’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Grand Master Shangqing, could you arrange for these mages to leave under some pretext?”
“You mean, like Mo Xiu did, using the reason of taking students out for training? That’s possible… but…” Shangqing frowned, seemingly considering something.
Fang Yu looked at Shangqing, his eyes flickering slightly.
“Let me think of a perfect solution first, and I’ll let you know the result later,” Shangqing said after pondering for a moment.
“Alright, then we’ll trouble Grand Master Shangqing,” Zheng Ze said respectfully.
“Don’t worry, given the relationship between Huaixu and me, I’ll definitely do my best to help,” Shangqing said.
“Then we’ll take our leave now,” Zheng Ze stood up and cupped his hands.
He had no good feelings toward Grand Master Tianchen, and now being in the Order organization made him feel like sitting on pins and needles, eager to leave as soon as possible.
“Won’t you stay a bit longer?” Shangqing asked.
“We have other matters to attend to, so…” Zheng Ze explained.
“Alright, then I’ll see you out,” Shangqing said, waving his right hand forward.
“Whoosh!”
The surrounding scene immediately changed.
Soon, the scene before them returned to the situation at the entrance.
But this scene had barely appeared for two seconds when it suddenly changed again.
This time, a great hall appeared before them, with a high seat at the front.
On both sides of the hall stood two rows of male and female mages wearing robes.
On the high seat was a male mage with jet-black long hair but a very aged face.
He wore a golden-yellow robe, and in his right hand, he held a staff that looked ordinary in appearance, but the gem embedded at the top emitted seven-colored light, somewhat dazzling.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes at this staff.
A single staff that could simultaneously emit the aura of multiple types of energy.
Holy power, spatial power, various elemental powers…
While Fang Yu was staring at the staff, the mages on both sides of the hall were also examining the two people who had suddenly been summoned.
“You are Huaixu’s disciple? How dare you sneak in without greeting me?” the mage on the high seat asked.
At this moment, Zheng Ze’s face looked extremely unpleasant.
“Is this person Grand Master Tianchen?” Fang Yu looked at the mage above, his eyes moving slightly.
At this point, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yu and Zheng Ze.
It was Grand Master Shangqing whom they had just met.
“Lord Tianchen, they came to see me just to discuss some trivial matters, there’s no…” Shangqing began explaining to Grand Master Tianchen.
“Step aside, I didn’t ask you,” Tianchen frowned slightly, waving his hand.
Shangqing opened his mouth, sighed silently, and could only step aside.
“I heard your entire conversation just now,” Grand Master Tianchen said with a mocking smile. “Huaixu wants to borrow people from my Order? Why didn’t he come himself? Sending two little disciples over—is he looking down on me, or looking down on our Order organization?”
“Since he looks down on us, why come begging to borrow people?”
“Does he think we’re running a charity here?”
Zheng Ze’s face turned ashen, gritting his teeth without speaking.
The other mages present all lowered their heads, not daring to show any expression.
In their view, Grand Master Tianchen had always been a rational, steady, and wise leader.
But whenever Huaixu was mentioned, Grand Master Tianchen became a different person.
His words, expressions, and the contempt and disgust in his eyes were undisguised.
“Go back and tell Huaixu that the Order won’t lend him a single person. Also, regarding the half-spirit race matter, our Order will handle it entirely. He should just go back to his manor and enjoy his retirement,” Grand Master Tianchen said mockingly. “Managing the Martial Arts Association for so many years, yet unable to find a few useful subordinates—truly ridiculous.”
Faced with Grand Master Tianchen’s continuous sarcasm, Zheng Ze’s expression grew increasingly difficult, anger rising in his heart.
He recalled that incident from the past, and the colleagues who were injured because of it, carrying regrets for life…
He couldn’t hold back anymore!
Even if the person before him was an eight-star Grand Master!
“Grand Master Tianchen, you may refuse to lend people, but please respect my teacher!” Zheng Ze raised his head and said angrily.
Hearing these words, the mages on both sides changed their expressions slightly.
They hadn’t expected Zheng Ze to dare to talk back!
This was Grand Master Tianchen!
“What’s your name? Zheng Ze?” Grand Master Tianchen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Zheng Ze.
“I am,” Zheng Ze stared back at Grand Master Tianchen, refusing to back down.
“You think what I said just now was wrong?” Grand Master Tianchen raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Yes!” Zheng Ze said firmly.
Grand Master Tianchen didn’t get angry but smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How about this: if you admit that incident from back then was your fault, I’ll agree to lend you a group of people.”
Hearing this, Zheng Ze’s breathing became heavy, veins bulging on his forehead.
This was blatant mockery and provocation!
“…That incident from back then, we were not wrong at all! It was your Order organization that was despicable…” Zheng Ze said angrily.
“Slap!”
As soon as the word “despicable” left his mouth, Zheng Ze’s face was slapped out of thin air, the sound extremely clear and crisp.
Zheng Ze staggered and fell to the ground.
“Slandering the Order in my hall—even your teacher wouldn’t dare do this,” Grand Master Tianchen looked down at the fallen Zheng Ze with contemptuous eyes and said coldly. “This is a truth-detecting spell. If what you say is a lie, the Law God’s will shall punish you on my behalf. If you don’t believe it, you can try again.”
At this moment, blood flowed from the corner of Zheng Ze’s mouth, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Grand Master Tianchen on the high seat and spoke again: “You and the Order… are despicable…”
“Slap!”
Another crisp sound rang out.
This time, the force was clearly stronger. Zheng Ze flew two or three meters to the side, more blood flowing from his mouth.
Anger made Zheng Ze’s entire body tremble, but facing the powerful Grand Master Tianchen, he had no ability to fight back.
Shangqing sighed, stepped forward, and said, “Lord Tianchen, they are just juniors after all, there’s no need to…”
“Tianchen, you old dog, you are a despicable, shameless, and vulgar person.”
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Everyone in the great hall changed their expressions.
The mages who had been lowering their heads on both sides all looked up to see the source of the voice.
It was Fang Yu, who had been silent all along.
Now, Fang Yu wore a faint smile as he looked at Grand Master Tianchen on the high seat.
The entire hall fell silent.
“Didn’t hear clearly? Let me say it again: Tianchen, you old dog, you are a despicable, shameless, and vulgar scoundrel,” Fang Yu said. “This time, you should be able to hear clearly, right?”
Around them, there was still dead silence.
Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Fang Yu with shock.
This young man… actually dared to speak to Grand Master Tianchen like this…
This was beyond a matter of courage…
The mages nervously turned their heads to look at Grand Master Tianchen on the high seat.
“Didn’t you say there was a truth-detecting spell? If I’m lying, that whatever god’s will would punish me. But now, it hasn’t punished me,” Fang Yu said with a mocking smile on his face. “Which means, I’m telling the truth. You are indeed a despicable, shameless, vulgar scoundrel…”
“Bang!”
Grand Master Tianchen’s left hand slammed down on the armrest of his seat, shattering it to pieces as he suddenly stood up.
He gripped his staff tightly in his right hand, the seven-colored gem at the top emitting intense light, pointing directly at Fang Yu!
