1505: A Show of Strength (2)

A Show of Strength (2)

Su Bie asked, "Your Majesty, didn't you speak to the Saint?"

Chen Fu frowned as he looked at Liu Zheng, his seventh disciple who was also the emperor of Great Han, and said, "Speak."

"This is a matter regarding the secular world and has nothing to do with the cultivation world. I hope master will forgive me," Liu Zheng said.

"Back then, I let you ascend the throne to pacify the people to serve the people and the country, not to scheme and covet power," Chen Fu said.

"I remember master's words and dare not forget them," Liu Zheng said.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou silently observed Liu Zheng's behavior, attitude, and speech. Under such circumstances, Liu Zheng was still very calm; he was not affected by the sparring incident at all. His instincts told him that there was something wrong with Liu Zheng.

As expected.

Liu Zheng said, "I feel that Fifth Senior Brother is a rare Venerable Master. Talents are important to Great Han. If he loses his Birth Charts, it'll be a great loss to Great Han. I hope master will show mercy."

"You finally pleaded for him," Chen Fu said.

"So master has already expected this," Liu Zheng said.

"Although you're the emperor of Great Han, you're also Zhang Xiaoruo's junior brother. There's no emperor in Autumn Dew Mountain. Do you understand?" Chen Fu asked.

"I understand."

"Liu Zheng," Chen Fu said tonelessly, "You and Zhang Xiaoruo will be punished together. Each of you will have three Birth Charts destroyed. Hua Yin, since you're my eldest disciple, you'll execute the punishment on my behalf."

"???"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Zhang Xiaoruo and Liu Zheng were stunned. They exchanged a look.

Chen Fu's disciples could not figure out what Chen Fu was trying to do.

Hua Yin bowed and asked, "Why, master?"

In other words, there had to be a reason for these punishments.

Chen Fu asked, "Do all of you really think I don't know what's going on?"

The inside and the outside of the training hall were silent.

"Do you really think you managed to keep me in the dark?"

Suddenly…

"How dare you!"

Liang Yufeng and Yun Tongxiao suddenly turned around and attacked Zhang Xiaoruo and Liu Zheng.

"Take them down!"

With two Venerable Masters making a move, the space seemed to have frozen.

At the critical moment, Wei Cheng and Su Bie flashed, blocking Yun Tongxiao and Liang Yufeng.

Liang Yufeng was the second disciple of the Autumn Dew Mountain while Yun Tongxiao was the fourth disciple of the Autumn Dew Mountain. Why did they suddenly attack their fellow disciples?

"Scram! This isn't any of your business!" Yun Tongxiao said in a deep voice.

Su Bie replied, "No one can attack His Majesty."

"There's no emperor here, only my Seventh Junior Brother. Move aside!"

"If something happens to the emperor, the world will be in chaos," Su Bie said.

"If it's going to be chaotic, then so be it! Moreover, with the Autumn Dew Mountain around, there won't be chaos. The Autumn Dew Mountain will bring about reorganization to the world and bring peace!" Yun Tongxiao said.

The two parties confronted each other.

With just these few sentences, Lu Zhou understood what was happening. This was typical internal strife. In short, the senior brothers wanted to seize the world from their junior brothers; however, since their master was alive, they could not make a move.

Lu Zhou nodded. "I see."

Everyone froze when Lu Zhou's deep voice rang in the air.

Chen Fu shook his head and said, "Su Bie, Wei Cheng, I don't care if you're the pillars of Great Han, you don't have the right to interfere with the Autumn Dew Mountain's affairs." Then, his tone darkened as he said, "Scram."

Wei Cheng and Su Bie: "..."

Although the duo was Venerable Masters, they were unable to put up a front when faced with Chen Fu.

Liu Zheng said, aggrieved, "Master, Eldest Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, you have to stand up for me! I'm only trying to protect myself."

Chen Fu scoffed as he pointed at Zhang Xiaoruo and said, "You even disregarded ethics and morals and married your daughter to this wicked disciple!"

"..."

Silence descended again.

Hua Yin and Zhou Guang looked at Liu Zheng and Zhang Xiaoruo with incredulous expressions on their faces.

Meanwhile, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were confused.

Mingshi Yin scratched his head as he said, "Wait. So, this means the emperor, the seventh disciple, married his daughter to his Fifth Senior Brother, right?"

This relationship was really messy.

Mingshi Yin gestured at Liu Zheng as he continued to say, "Then, your Fifth Senior Brother must call you father-in-law, right? What do you call your Fifth Senior Brother then?"

Liu Zheng frowned. This was the topic he did not want to talk about the most.

Zhang Xiaoruo rose to his feet and said, "Since master is already aware of this, there's no need to hide it anymore. Relationships are not important. The most important thing is that I like Jun Ru, and she likes me."

Jun Ru was, obviously, Liu Zheng's daughter.

Chen Fu called out, "Hua Yin."

"Yes, master."

"Enforce the sect rules for me," Chen Fu said in a deep voice.

"This…" Hua Yin hesitated. If he did this, once their master left, the blood feud between them would be irreconcilable.

Chen Fu flashed. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wei Cheng and Su Bie and pushed both his hands out.

Without any suspense, both Wei Cheng and Su Bie flew out.

Chen Fu flashed again as energy surged around him. He easily grabbed Zhang Xiaoruo and Liu Zheng by the scruffs of their necks.

No one dared to speak.2

Everyone stared at Chen Fu with their mouths agape.

Chen Fu said indifferently, "Do you think I'm not your match just because I'm injured?"

"..."

Thud!

All the disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain fell to their knees in unison. In their minds, they thought to themselves, 'How's he injured? He's clearly still very energetic! Was he acting weak?'

Chen Fu sighed. "I'm old now, and I can no longer restrain all of you. I can't even depend on Hua Yin whom I trusted most. I really am a failure as a master."
