Chapter 323: Chapter 235: Silver-tongued, the Irritable Silver Moon Sect Master_2

Suddenly, a brawny man carrying a long axe slammed the table and stood up angrily, exclaiming,

“Senior Zhao is mistaken. Our Flowing Cloud Sect has always been known for its hospitality. There is absolutely no such intention. It’s just that you all arrived suddenly, and we were unprepared. There is a limited supply of food and drink on the mountain, preventing us from hosting you properly. That’s why we have had to ask you to stay temporarily in this small town. We hope our fellow Daoists will forgive us.”

A man in white clothes, tall and handsome, then bowed deeply and explained with a smile on his face.

A hand doesn’t strike a smiling face.

Seeing how humble his attitude was, the brawny man who had stood up could not continue his outburst and could only sit down with a cold snort.

Others found it inappropriate to push the issue further.

...
However, hearing him mention that the Flowing Cloud Sect was known for its hospitality, everyone’s face showed a peculiar expression.

The tyrannical and overbearing reputation of the Flowing Cloud Sect was well-known in Yunzhou.

Wang Pan could shamelessly speak of hospitality; truly, he was a famous smiling tiger.

“Wang Pan, when exactly can we ascend to Liuyun Mountain? We have traveled thousands of miles. Surely, we cannot be left hanging by your Flowing Cloud Sect indefinitely?”

At that moment, a fair-faced middle-aged man dressed like a scholar spoke up.

“Mr. Dai, rest assured. As soon as the sect’s disciples have cleaned the guest rooms and prepared the food and beverages, we will immediately open the mountain gate and welcome all of you to wash away the dust of your journey and show our hospitality,” Wang Pan said with a smile.

Seeing his consistent smile, everyone felt like they were hitting cotton, unsure of what to do.

“Humph, no need!” At that moment, a chilling voice came from outside the inn, “We Major Sects didn’t come here for your Flowing Cloud Sect’s food and drinks.

Wang Pan, go back and tell your Sect Master Mo Zhen that if he doesn’t open the mountain gate soon, we will force our way up.

Then let’s see if your Flowing Cloud Sect can hold against so many Sects from Yunzhou fighting you simultaneously!”

As this voice faded, a strong aura swept in, and more than ten Martial Artists entered the inn.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with wide sleeves, his hair tied up high, a stern face, and a long beard.

Wang Pan’s face changed upon seeing this extraordinary middle-aged man.

However, before he could say anything, another somewhat hoarse voice spoke.

“Sect Master Shan is right. The actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect in recent years have indeed become more and more excessive. Do they really think they’re the leader of the Righteous in Yunzhou?”

Accompanied by the hoarse voice, another dozen figures walked in.

Moreover, the moment these figures entered, they caught everyone’s attention in the inn.

Leading them was a middle-aged woman in grey, of average appearance.

But behind her were more than a dozen young women, each beautiful and distinguished, quite a sight.

“Deputy Palace Master Liu, you’ve also arrived?” The high-haired middle-aged man bowed slightly.

“Sect Master Shan, Deputy Palace Master Liu!”

The other Martial Artists in the inn also stood and bowed in respect.

Seeing this scene, Wang Pan’s pupils shrank.

For the Palace Master of the Silver Moon Sect and the Deputy Palace Master of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms to come together was indeed not good news for their Flowing Cloud Sect.

Other Sects could be ignored by their Flowing Cloud Sect.

But as one of the three great Sects of Yunzhou alongside the Silver Moon Sect and Palace of a Hundred Blossoms, they definitely couldn’t be taken lightly.

Because, while the strength of these two major Sects was slightly inferior to that of their Flowing Cloud Sect.

If they joined forces, plus other small Sects present, even their Flowing Cloud Sect would struggle to resist.

“Greetings, Sect Master Shan, Deputy Palace Master Liu.”

Wang Pan gathered his Heart and Spirit, forced a smile, and bowed deeply.

“Smiling Tiger, there’s no need for pretense here. I ask you, where is Mo Zhen? So many of us have come from Yunzhou, and he, as the head of a Sect, is hiding up in the mountain, not even showing his face, sending only you, his Direct Disciple, down to handle things. Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?”

Facing Wang Pan’s smiling face, the Silver Moon Sect Master remained unmoved, only responding coldly.

“Sect Master Shan, just a few days ago, my master sensed something in his Martial Arts and had an epiphany, thus he sequestered himself and has yet to emerge. Wang Pan, as his disciple, did not dare to rashly disturb him, for fear of interrupting Master’s epiphany and committing an unforgivable mistake. Please, Sect Master Shan, see the truth.”

Wang Pan forced a smile.

“Oh, is there really such a coincidence in the world?” the Silver Moon Sect Master said, his face revealing a hint of mockery. “Isn’t it rumored that Flowing Cloud Sect’s young Vice Sect Master, Mo Zhen’s beloved son, was slaughtered by someone a while ago?

To be able to have epiphanies in Martial Arts when his own son was killed, your Sect Master is indeed ruthlessly cold!”

Wang Pan’s face changed. “Sect Master Shan, please be cautious with your words. Our young Vice Sect Master was unfortunately murdered, and our master is deeply grieved. I have repeatedly seen his profound sorrow. Please do not smear his name, Sect Master Shan.”

“Hmph, so his beloved son dies, and he is profoundly sad. Then what about my disciple? What should I feel?

Your Flowing Cloud Sect uses Mo Xuan’s death to extort resources from other sects, how should we settle this account?” the Silver Moon Sect Master coldly stated.

“Sect Master Shan, we too are deeply saddened by the death of your esteemed disciple.

At that time, he had a conflict with our Elder Qiu. He struck fiercely without declaring his Sect, leading Elder Qiu to believe he was a practitioner of the Demon Path. In his anger, he struck too harshly, injuring his life.

It was truly a misunderstanding, not Elder Qiu’s intention to kill your esteemed disciple, please understand, Sect Master.

As for the accusations of our sect’s disciples extorting resources from the Major Sects, that was a huge misunderstanding.

The original order from our master was to investigate the true cause of the young Vice Sect Master’s death.

Unexpectedly, a few disciples, blinded by greed, misused the Sect’s orders to extort.

Now, the sect has captured those responsible, and we will leave their fate to the Sect Masters to decide after settling this matter.”

“Good! Good! Good!”

Watching Wang Pan speak smoothly, not only did he whitewash the sins committed by the Flowing Cloud Sect, but he pushed the blame towards some insignificant people, even counter-claiming that his own disciples were part of the Demon Path.

The Silver Moon Sect Master laughed angrily.

“You truly are Mo Zhen’s most outstanding disciple, with your sly tongue and facade of amiableness. Even I can’t help but admire you.

However, Wang Pan, I think you’ve misunderstood something today. I didn’t come here to waste words with you.

If Mo Zhen does not come out personally to explain, then I shall start by targeting his most outstanding disciple!

Let him also experience the pain of losing a beloved disciple!”

With that, the Silver Moon Sect Master flicked his sleeve, his shoulders shifted slightly, and his palm, like a dragon’s claw exploring, shot out from his sleeve towards Wang Pan.

Wang Pan did not anticipate that someone of Sect Master’s stature would resort to such an unseemly method, almost like a sneak attack, launching at him suddenly.

Startled, he moved his feet and swayed his body, creating several afterimages in an attempt to dodge this grab.

Regrettably, his Cultivation was inferior to that of the Silver Moon Sect Master, who had long stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.

Under the Grandmaster Level refined claw technique of the Silver Moon Sect Master, his afterimages could not deceive his opponent.

In just a moment, his true form was exposed and grabbed by the shoulder.

“Over here!”

The Silver Moon Sect Master’s palm, having grabbed Wang Pan’s shoulder, squeezed forcefully, instantly snapping his collarbone and pulling him over.

Looking at the pain on Wang Pan’s face, the Silver Moon Sect Master’s hand moved to his neck.

He whispered softly, “If I were to twist your neck right now, do you think your master would come out of seclusion?”

“Sect Master Shan! Please wait!”

The sudden action of the Silver Moon Sect Master took everyone by surprise.

Even the Deputy Palace Master of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms was shocked and hurriedly called out.
