Chapter 171: Warning The Blade And Fist Factions

After some sighing, Elder Fan didn’t say more, and under Lin Xin Yi’s guidance, began walking towards the Sword Pavilion.

And now, these sword faction disciples also discovered the identity of the group of people behind Elder Fan. Impressively, they were all blade faction and fist faction disciples, however each was black and blue across their face, and their hands were firmly bound together, as if there was an invisible rope that tied them all together.

Seeing this scene, how could they not know what was going on. Obviously Elder Fan used some method to capture all these disciples. For a time, the crowd naturally enjoyed a bit of schadenfreude.

Once Elder Fan and the others arrived at the Sword Pavilion, Elder Cheng’s trio was already there. Previously when they had received the reports for those disciples, the three great elders were all shocked, not knowing why an Enchantment Hall’s person would suddenly visit, however, the Enchantment Hall was on equal standing as the inner sect. Elder Fan as the vice Enchantment Hall Hallmaster, in terms of identity, was even higher than Elder Cheng’s by a level. Even if they were shocked, they didn’t dare to neglect.

“Elder Fan, long time no see. Still elegant I see. To visit my sword faction today is truly honoring my humble house with your presence.” Elder Cheng laughed and greeted.

“Haha, Elder Cheng’s current qi aura is also deep and unfathomable. I imagine your strength has improved again. This old man’s visit was a bit sudden.” Elder Fan also cupped his fist, similarly showing courtesy.

Seeing Elder Fan’s posture, Elder Cheng’s heart calmed down. Obviously the person who came was a friend not foe. Right now the sword faction was being stared down by the blade faction and fist faction. If the Enchantment Hall was added on, then he would be really scorched and burned. 
(TN: In a terrible fix.)

Elder Cheng cut to the chase and asked: “What has Elder Fan suddenly visited today for? There’s also a crowd of blade and fist faction disciples. What’s going on?”
(TN: The original idiom for cut to the chase was “opened the door to view the mountain”. Pretty interesting one)

Elder Fan also didn’t dawdle and directly said: “This old man has come this time was to accept Lu Xuan’s entrustment and help send junior niece Lin safely back. As for this group of disciples, they dared to offend this old man, forcing my hand. This old man could only capture them to teach them some discipline.”

Hearing this, Elder Cheng’s face flashed with happiness. He had long since seen Lin Xin Yi standing behind Elder Fan, however, due to the presence of Elder Fan, he didn’t have a chance to ask. He hadn’t thought that Elder Fan had specifically come to escort Lin Xin Yi back and was even accepting Lu Xuan’s entrustment!

This time, Lu Xuan really made him hugely shocked. He hadn’t even been in the sect for even half a year and had already made relations with the Enchantment Hall, and also could even get an existence like Elder Fan to personally act. It truly was unexpected, however, what Elder Fan said next made Elder Cheng even more shocked. 

“The chaos the Lu Xuan has caused, this old man has heard of it. A pity that Hallmaster isn’t currently here, otherwise, when would it be a mere blade faction’s turn to be arrogant.”

The meaning of Elder Fan’s words were very clear. If the Hallmaster hadn’t been here, the one to appear wouldn’t have been him but would be the Enchantment Hall’s Hallmaster Chen Mo, whose identity was equivalent to a vice sect masters. How could a mere blade faction dare to act arrogant in front of him.

“So it was like that. However, I don’t know how Lu Xuan did it that he would be able to get the Hallmaster to act?” Elder Cheng asked hesitantly. Although Lu Xuan’s fame in the inner sect wasn’t small, it imaginably wasn’t enough to enter the Hallmaster’s eyes.

Hearing this, Elder Fan smiled and stroked his beard: “Lu Xuan is the Hallmaster’s honorary disciple and can be considered as the Enchantment Hall’s core disciple. How could Hallmaster not act for his matters. Speaking of which, Lu Xuan’s martial dao talent is extraordinary. At the time Hallmaster wanted him to leave the inner sect and enter my Enchantment Hall, but he was stubborn to death and wanted to stay in the sword faction to repay sword faction Elder Xu’s favor. This kid’s personality is pretty rare!”

When facing Elder Cheng and the others, Elder Fan wasn’t stingy with praise.

With these words spoken, Elder Cheng and the others turned their heads to look at Elder Xu. Elder Xu had a rare moment of his old face being red, feeling rather gratified deep down. Lu Xuan indeed was extremely committed. Compared to a mere sword faction inner sect disciple identity, Enchantment Hall’s favor was undoubtedly much more attractive.

By Elder Cheng’s side were Xia Ye, Xing Feng, and Lin Tian. Their faces were even more shocked. They hadn’t thought that Lu Xuan would only have shocking strength, he actually was cultivating the rune dao well, especially Xia Ye and Xing Feng. Although they knew that Lu Xuan stayed in the Enchantment Hall for not a short period of time, they had never known that he had that sort of identity.

As for Lin Tian, his heart’s admiration for Lu Xuan made himself want to prostrate himself in admiration. He hadn’t thought that in these three short months, Lu Xuan hadn’t been focused on cultivating and had instead gone to the Enchantment Hall. If he had been fully cultivating the sword dao, wouldn’t his strength be even greater?

“I hadn’t thought Lu Xuan actually also had this level of luck to be able to be favored by the Hallmaster. That’s his fortune.” Elder Cheng nodded. Inside he was very happy. With this layer of relations, the Enchantment Hall will definitely stand by the sword faction’s side. With the addition of the Enchantment Hall’s as an ally, even if the blade and fist factions joined hands, he had nothing to fear.

Afterwards, he continued by asking: “Since it’s like that, then I’m guessing that Lu Xuan ought to be in the Enchantment Hall right now?”

This time Elder Fan didn’t immediately respond and looked to Chen Xiao Han and Lin Xin Yi. The people last in contact with Lu Xuan were these two girls. 

Lin Xin Yi was just about to speak, but then she hesitated for a moment. She looked at the bound up large crowd of blade and fist faction disciples behind them. 

Elder Fan immediately understood and covered them in an array with a finger point. It was a soundproofing array. He had dabbled in the array rune category and this soundproofing array  couldn’t be considered as a high or deep array.

Seeing that Elder Fan had soundproofed their surroundings, Lin Xin Yi then spoke: “Lu Xuan was worried that the blade and fist factions wouldn’t let the matter be and that staying behind would implicate the sword factions elders, thus he has already left the Wind Sword Sect and using this as a chance to wander around.

Hearing this, Elder Cheng couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows: “Really mischievous. The outside world is so dangerous. With his current strength, there’s no way to guarantee his safety, also, if my sword faction can’t even bless its disciples, then what’s the point of existing.”  

Before Elder Cheng might not have dared to guarantee Lu Xuan, but now with the Enchantment Hall added as an ally, his confidence undoubtedly increased. Without further aid, he’d still be able to protect Lu Xuan. At that time once Elder Jin and Hallmaster Chen Mo came back, who would dare to touch Lu Xuan?

Elder Fan laughed: “Elder Cheng’s words aren’t quite correct. How can a flower grown in a greenhouse be bright and move men. This time Lu Xuan going out to wander will definitely have a good harvest. Wait until he comes back, he’ll definitely give us a huge shock.”

Elder Cheng slightly nodded his head. He was agreed with Elder Fan’s words. He was just worried for Lu Xuan’s safety. Pondering a bit, he then asked Lin Xin Yi: “Then did Lu Xuan say when he would come back?”

“Lu Xuan said that since he promised Elder Xu that he would help sword faction take first place, so the day of the great sect competition would be the day that he returns!”

Hearing this, Xia Ye and the others were immediately excited. Currently Lu Xuan’s strength was sufficient to kill Xu Wen Yang, then when he came back for the great sect competition, what step would his strength have reached? They simply didn’t dare to imagine.

Elder Cheng had a wide smile: “Good Lu Xuan, worthy of being my sword faction’s proud disciple. Then this old man will peacefully wait for his return!”

Confirming Lu Xuan’s whereabouts, they also calmed down. Although they didn’t know what experiences Lu Xuan would encounter, but at least he was safe for now.

Elder Fan dropped the soundproofing array. Elder Cheng looked at the crowd of unfortunate blade and fist faction disciples and asked: “Elder Fan, this group of disciples, how will you deal with them?”

Glancing at the crowd of disciples, Elder Fan coldly snorted: “This old man has already let some people tell the blade and fist faction elders and am waiting for them to take them away from the sword faction. They actually dared to force my Enchantment Hall’s core disciple away. If this old man doesn’t come out and warn them, they might think my Enchantment Hall easy to pinch. Moreover, since this old man promised Lu Xuan to protect junior niece Lin, naturally I can’t let them act recklessly anymore.”

Enchantment Hall’s current situation couldn’t be considered as that great, but that was compared to the Wind Sword Sect’s core level. To the inner sect nine great faction divisions, it still wasn’t something they could easily openly offend.

Since Elder Fan had intentions to show his face, Elder Cheng was naturally pleased. He asked Elder Fan to sit down and then had some deacons bring some tea over, chatting on one side while waiting for the blade and fist factions to arrive on the other.

Without having to wait too long, there was a burst of noise and a few figures simultaneously rushed over. The sword faction disciples couldn’t block them at all.

Accompanying these people as they came in was a reproachful voice: “Who’s so daring to actually grab my blade faction disciples!”

The people that invaded were already standing still, a total of six people. They were the blade faction and fist factions elders. The one who had just spoken was the blade faction’s great elder, Elder Yu.

The comers weren’t friendly!

Elder Cheng and Elder Fan simultaneously got up. Elder Fan coldly scanned the intruding Elder Yu and others and directly said: “It’s this old man who captured them. What are you going to do about it?”

Hearing this, Elder Yu’s eyebrows shot up. The person who grabbed his people dared to still be so arrogant. But once he saw the speaker was Elder Fan, he couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment.

Just now, the disciple that had reported was that there was someone who grabbed the blade faction’s people and wanted him to go to the sword faction to lead people. He had naturally erupted into a rage and immediately took the blade faction’s remaining two elders to charge over. He was just worrying about how to act against the sword faction and now was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, however, he hadn’t thought that the one to act wasn’t a sword faction’s person but was instead from the Enchantment Hall, and that this person’s identity was the second after the Hallmaster’s Elder Fan.

For now, the angry words in his mouth could only be swallowed back down. To Elder Fan, he greeted: “I hadn’t thought that Elder Fan could actually come to visit. I am currently unaware of what wrongs my disciples have committed?”

“What wrong they’ve committed? Hmph, I hadn’t thought this old man would come out for a walk and your blade faction disciples actually would be so overbearing. Even after this old man announced his identity, they still dared to use weapons against this old man. Offending an elder deserves punishment!”

According to the Wind Sword Sect’s sect rules, offending an elder ranged from sect expulsion to wasting one’s strength!

Elder Fan’s declaration caused those captured disciples to be greatly shocked and those blade and fist faction elders who had just arrived also had a change in facial expressions.
