"well, what happened was that a disciplinary hall disciple randomly attacked another disciple in front of at least 50 disciples, for no apparent reason."
The disciples narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wang Feng, "the way I see it. I see you people ganging up on a single disciple who has a cultivation many stages lower than yours!"
As if on cue, Wei Zhuang sprang into action. "Senior Brother Cao, you have to save me! These three collided with each other and want to kill me! They even slandered the Great Elder!"
Su Mu who heard this shouted, "Slander! Do you have any proof of your statement!" Wei Zhuang smirked, while Yang Kai and Wang Feng sighed internally.
Wei Zhuang looked at a disciple, who was infact his own lackey, to answer Su Mu's question. "Senior Brother Cao, Senior Brother Wei is telling the truth! I heard it with my own ears!"
Hearing this, Su Mu and his Lackies started shouting and accusing him for falsifying the statements. While Wei Zhuang and his Lackies started firing back.
Hearing the commotion, Cao Zheng Wen narrowed eyes sparkled as he revealed a sinister smirk, "oh is that so... You two! State your names!", Cao Zheng Wen didn't say anything to Su Mu as he was still the Grandson of the Second Elder and he didn't have the guts to antagonize the Second Elder.
Wang Feng and Yang Kai looked at each other before the two grinned.
"Yang Kai."
"Wang Feng."
The effect was immediate as nearly everyone quietened down after hearing their names. Cao Zheng Wen's expressions turned strange as he looked at them, "You're Wang Feng... And Yang Kai?"
Cao Zheng Wen looked between the two, 'what a duo. One became the fastest person to become a Lower Base Disciple and the other was the slowest.'
He dismissed these thoughts as he said, "you two will come with me to the Disciplinary Hall for punishment!"
Wang Feng looked at him in disdain and crossed his arms. He motioned to Su Mu and his Lackies to remain quiet for now. He then looked back at Cao Zheng Wen and Wei Zhuang, who had limped to him.
"Oh~ on what bases?", Wang Feng said as Yang Kai continued, "You don't have any concrete evidence against us about slandering the Great Elder, besides that guy Wei Zhuang also slandered the Second Elder but you aren't saying anything to him~"
Not giving Cao Zheng Wen nor Wei Zhuang any time to retort. Wang Feng gasped, "*gasp* don't tell me that you think Second Elder is insignificant in terms to Great Elder!?"
Cao Zheng Wen's face turned pale and Wei Zhuang's face turned ugly after hearing their words. Cao Zheng Wen looked around and saw how the disciples around the area started muttering among themselves with wide eyes, looking at Cao Zheng Wen.
Su Mu took this chance and shouted, "Is that how you think Cao Zheng Wen! Wait till I report your disrespect of the Elders to the council!"
Cao Zheng Wen's face worsened as he surged his aura, displaying his aura of 3rd Stage Qi Transformation, "Silence!!", he looked at Su Mu, "Young Master Su shouldn't be blindsided by these two traitors! They're obviously trying to turn you against the Disciplinary Hall!"
He instantly rushed forward to grab the two with all his strength, fully confident in his higher cultivation. Su Mu was surprised but couldn't react. While Wang Feng and Yang Kai looked at the approaching Cao Zheng Wen with neutral eyes.
Wang Feng stepped forward and grabbed Cao Zheng Wen's arm before hurling him back towards Wei Zhuang, "tsk, tsk, tsk, You can't explain yourself to not expose your true thoughts and you want to silence us now?", Wang Feng spoke while shaking his head. His words starting another wave of discussion among the spectators.
Cao Zheng Wen, who was suddenly hurled back with force, skidded to a stop after a few meters and looked at Wang Feng with an ugly expressions, 'How!? How can this guy even react to my movement when I was moving at my highest speed!?'
He understood now that things today might get too messy, making him glance at Wei Zhuang and Su Mu with grinded teeth, 'f*ck these two b*stards for dragging me into this mess!', but he couldn't say that out loud.
Not when he lived by on Great Elder's Disciple and Wei Zhuang's support.
He sighed and thought about it calmly for a second before his eyes shined. He looked at the two with a chilling grin, "*humph* although I don't have the evidence of your slander of the Great Elder ... You two still attacked Junior Brother Wei with a Weapon which is forbidden in a duel!"
Wang Feng discreetly signaled to Yang Kai and Su Mu before he spoke with a confused expression, "what? Weapon? Ganging up?", Su Mu and Yang Kai mirroring his look.
He laughed, "haha, looks like Senior Brother Cao has rich imagination! First of all there are so many disciples here, if we had ganged up on Junior Brother Wei Zhuang, they would have reported us by now, not to mention that the Dark Hall disciple had recorded the end of the battle long ago."
Cao Zheng Wen and Wei Zhuang's eyes widened. Both thinking, 'f*ck! I forgot about the Dark Hall Disciple!'
Everyone knows that once a duel begins in the sect, a Dark Hall Disciple will immediately appear and start recording the results.
Moreover, the Dark Hall is the only Hall in the sect that isn't under any Elder, but under someone else, someone appointed by the Sect Master, who even the Elders don't know about. Though, this information wasn't common knowledge.
Seeing their expressions, Wang Feng's expressions turned devilish as he looked at Cao Zheng with disdain, "and what is this weapon you are talking about?"
Wei Zhuang shook with anger as he shouted, "what weapon, you ask!? I'm talking about the Hammer that Su Mu ... Was.. holding....", Wei Zhuang stopped midway as he looked at Su Mu's hand, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Why? Because Su Mu wasn't holding any hammer. Wei Zhuang quickly turned his head to look at everyone present here, trying to find the Hammer that had thrashed him and his armor.
Su Mu suddenly said in a disdainful voice, "are you looking for this?" Wei Zhuang's eyes shined as he swiftly turned around to look at Su Mu, but his expressions turned sour as he turned.
"Are you a fool!? I'm looking for the hammer, not some piece of metal!", he shouted as he saw Su Mu hold up a piece of metal that was in a shape of rectangle, having a width of 4 inches and length of more than 10 inches.
Yang Kai snorted as he spoke, "You are looking for the thing he hit you with, right? Su Mu had struck you with this metal! Or have you gone mad from just a few strikes!?"
Wei Zhuang's eyes turned red with Rage as he growled, "Shut up you b*stard! Everyone here knows that he struck me with a hammer, not this peace of junk!", he shouted as he pointed at the crowd, but the crowd quickly turned away, not wanting to get involved in this dispute, which might implicate them.
Cao Zheng Wen's face also turned strange as he looked at this scene, his face burning with anger as he glanced at Wei Zhuang. He grinded his teeth and shouted, "who is it!? Who has the Hammer!?!"
He looked frantically at the disciples around, but couldn't find any traces of a hammer. Just then, a snort sounded as Wang Feng spoke, "So, now you're going to use your imagination to frame us!?"
He bursted out with his massive aura along with Yang Kai who did the same. Although to others, their cultivations were displayed as Peak Initial Element and 7th Stage Initial Element respectively, the strength of their auras was anything but that.
Cao Zheng Wen's face twisted with anger as he now didn't have any concreted evidence against them. Behind him, Wei Zhuang looked at him with crazed eyes and whispered with grinding teeth, "I. Want. Them. Punished."
Cao Zheng Wen nearly went crazy upon hearing this. 'This idiot! I so want to kill him!!', He was shaking from rage at Wei Zhuang but looked at Wang Feng and Yang Kai before he said, "Until the Weapon is found, you two will be held in custody! Arrest them!", following his words, many Disciplinary Hall disciples sprang into action.
They leaped towards Wang Feng and Yang Kai, using various means to prepare an attack. Yang Kai muttered as he looked at this, "seriously, if it was going to come down to this, what was even the point of all that bickering."
Wang Feng chuckled as he cracked his knuckles, "hey, atleast we could humiliate those two and have fun. That's 2 pluses in my book~"
Yang Kai laughed as he smirked and stomped his feet on the ground, propelling him forward to meet the various Disciplinary Hall Disciples, "hahaha, I guess that's true!"
Yang Kai punched out, making a tiger roar erupt from his fist that connected with a disciples face, propelling the disciple back with great force before he swung his right leg to counter another disciples.
Wang Feng on the other hand was attacked by Cao Zheng Wen and two other disciples at the same time, because of Cao Zheng Wen's cautiousness towards him now.
Wang Feng smirked and without any use of Qi, stood in his place. Cao Zheng Wen saw this, became delighted and frustrated at how Wang Feng seems to be dismissing them.
He shouted as he struck out with a palm strike from the center, while the two other disciples, both at 1st Stage Qi Transformation Realm, kicked out from the sides.
Wang Feng grinned and leaned forward a bit, taking a firm stance. He gathered his strength into his fist and punched out with his right hand, intercepting Cao Zheng Wen's palm attack, which was powered by his Qi.
On the other hand, he raised his left hand and grabbed the leg of one of the disciples before yanking him into the other disciple on the other side.
Cao Zheng grunted as he slid back a dozen steps after having his attack intercepted, while feeling a stinging pain in his slightly numb hand.
He looked at the two disciples who had attacked Wang Feng with him and saw how they laid on the ground while groaning before standing up slowly.
At the side, he saw that Yang Kai had also beaten the three disciples that were upon him. Cao Zheng Wen's face could not have turned uglier as he looked at Wang Feng and Yang Kai, "Good, good, good, you two dare to fight against the Disciplinary Hall!"
Wang Feng looked at him neutrally, his gaze now cold, deviod of any emotions as he spoke to Cao Zheng, "Silence...", Cao Zheng Wen shuddered when he heard the cold and heavy voice of Wang Feng, which sent a chill down his spine.
Wang Feng looked at him with the same eyes as he spoke, "You're just a dog of Wei Zhuang... and believe me, I don't blink when I kill dogs like you.", he said as his murderous aura erupted, making Cao Zheng Wen's legs shake involuntarily.
Wei Zhuang who stood behind was completely shaking and shivering when he felt the bloody arua around Wang Feng, making the inexperienced him see Wang Feng as death incarnate, even though the aura was too little.
Wang Feng suddenly sighed as he looked at Yang Kai, "the funs over, Yang Kai.", Yang Kai's face turned serious as he came and stood next to him, "who is it."
Wang Feng looked towards a certain place, feeling a powerful aura coming towards this place, "a pest that won't live long.", before he looked at Cao Zheng Wen and said, "what are you waiting for? Aren't you here to arrest us?"
Cao Zheng Wen and everyone around were dumbfolded and looked at him in shock again. Some even cleaned their ears and looked at him as if he would repeat himself. Wang Feng snorted and said, "well?..."
Cao Zheng Wen shook his head and told the disciples to arrest them with a strange face, 'why did they surrender?', he thought to himself but could only shake his head.
Wang Feng looked at Su Mu and noticed his angry and worried look. He also noticed how one of his lackey was missing as well. 'probably went to call Su Yan...', he thought to himself as he said to Su Mu, "why the heck are you still here? Don't you have to talk to your Grandfather?"
Su Mu hesitated for a second before he said, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Yang, please hold on for sometime, I'll get you out."
Yang Kai waved his hand and said, "meh, meh, just go. We can take care of ourselves."
Cao Zheng Wen and the disciples then started to lead them towards the Disciplinary Hall. Along the way they met the Core Disciple that was the incharge of the Disciplinary Hall.
The disciple was a Core Desciples, and thus a Separation and Reunion Realm Cultivator, more precisely a 9th Stage Separation and Reunion Realm Cultivator.
The disciple looked at Yang Kai and then at Wang Feng with eyes that screamed of his superiority complex as his eyes were full of disdain, "Give our guests some warm welcome.", the disciple said before he turned and walked away.
Wang Feng and Yang Kai looked at the disciple's back, "I don't like that guy..." ,Yang Kai said as he looked at Wang Feng, "was it him?"
Wang Feng nodded his head as he looked at the guy's back with a detached and cold look, "yeah. A Core Disciple and Legacy Disciple of the Great Elder, Xie Hong Chen."
