Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2626: Chapter 2627: You Say I’m Shabby?

However, Xiao Wu displayed a fearless expression.

But the surrounding disciples looked at him anxiously. After all, Second Brother’s strength and talent were considered the best in the sect, yet his character was far inferior to Xiao Wu’s.

This was the reason the Sect Leader favored Xiao Wu.

”What are you planning? Even if you’re talented and powerful, can you disregard the rules of the sect?” Xiao Wu squinted his eyes and said.

”The rules of the sect?” Second Brother immediately sneered, ”Is this your reliance? Ridiculous, the rules of the sect are merely made for the weak. With enough power, you can break these rules. Today, I will kill you and see how the sect punishes me!”

Having said this, his presence suddenly surged, and he lashed out with a palm.

This was the first time Ye Luo witnessed the attack of cultivators in this world. Amid the vast Spiritual Energy, there was actually a thread of Demonic Qi. It seemed that the cultivators here were influenced by the environment!

This would be a major hindrance to upgrading one’s realm in the future. If one truly wanted to cultivate to a very high rank, one must absorb pure Spiritual Energy.

”Stop!”

Just as Second Brother’s palm was about to strike down, three figures rapidly approached from the front.

These were three elders, and upon seeing them, the disciples around quickly knelt down.

”Welcome Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leaders!”

Indeed, it was the high-ranking officials of the Infinity Sect returning.

However, Second Brother’s action paused momentarily. As everyone thought he would stop, a fierce glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the power of his palm increased a few degrees, aiming straight at Xiao Wu.

Witnessing this, the three leaders were shocked, not expecting Second Brother to be so bold as to strike in front of them.

But Xiao Wu was evidently prepared for this; a shield had already appeared before him without anyone knowing when.

Boom!

The palm struck the shield.

It was clear that this shield was a defensive type of Magical Treasure, though such treasures were only effective among lower-phase cultivators and had little effect on high-rank cultivators.

Instantly, the shield shattered into pieces, and the remaining force hit Xiao Wu heavily.

It was clear how formidable Second Brother’s strength was; without this shield, Xiao Wu would have been killed immediately.

However, Xiao Wu was only critically injured for now and his life wasn’t in danger.

”How dare you attack Senior Brother in public? What crime should you be punished for!”

The Sect Leader approached Second Brother and roared angrily, clearly enraged.

”Punished for what crime? Why not ask our honorable Senior Brother what he should be punished for? You worked hard to eliminate those experts from Wu Du Mountain, but my Senior Brother actually let the remnants escape!” Second Brother coldly replied.

”What!”

Hearing this, the three elders were greatly surprised.

”Xiao Wu, is this true?” the Sect Leader asked sternly.

Even if the three were protective of Senior Brother, their faces turned grim at this moment.

After all, if the remnants truly escaped, even if just one, it would pose an extinction crisis for the Infinity Sect.

”Sect Leader, it’s true that none of the remnants from Wu Du Mountain were captured!” Xiao Wu replied, his face remaining calm, not showing any sign of nervousness.

Stomp stomp!

Upon hearing this, the three elders immediately stepped back a few paces, their faces turning pale.

”Xiao Wu, you are foolish! Don’t you realize this could lead our sect to its doom?” The Sect Leader stamped his foot and pounded his chest in distress.

Meanwhile, Second Brother sneered repeatedly from the side.

”Hmph, Brother, is this the disciple you favor? Now he’s brought disaster upon you. I think the Infinity Sect is at an end; let’s just save ourselves!” one of the Vice Sect Leaders remarked angrily.

”Sect Leader, do not be angry. I have my reasons for doing this!” Xiao Wu calmly stated.

”Reasons? Nonsense! I think you’re trying to kill us all!” Another Vice Sect Leader was already jumping with anger. If not for the Sect Leader’s presence, he might have already attacked Xiao Wu. Clearly, these two Vice Sect Leaders did not favor Xiao Wu.

However, the Sect Leader understood Xiao Wu better; his personality was stable, and he had a strong sense of the bigger picture, unlikely to commit such foolish acts.

”Then tell us, what is your reason!” The Sect Leader’s tone softened.

”Brother, I mean no disrespect, but after committing such a crime, you still believe his nonsense? If so, then we brothers can no longer assist you!” one of the Vice Sect Leaders snorted coldly.

”Indeed, Brother. It seems you’ve truly grown old. If this is the case, perhaps it is time for the second in command to succeed!” the other Vice Sect Leader stated flatly.

Clearly, both supported Second Brother.

”Sect Leader, the reason I violated your order is because I encountered a noble. This is an opportunity for our sect to rise; I specially invited this noble back!” Xiao Wu said with some excitement.

A noble? Those around were stunned.

In this world, those referred to as nobles were usually of aristocracy. Even someone of the Sect Leader’s status was far removed from being called a noble.

”Hmph, absurd! Where is this noble you speak of? I think you’re just looking for excuses!” A Vice Sect Leader snorted coldly.

Nobles were not commonly seen. Only idly wealthy descendants would come here for fun.

”I am not lying. This noble is right here!”

Xiao Wu immediately turned and saluted Ye Luo.

Suddenly, all eyes were drawn to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo’s attire could only be described as shabby. He was still wearing clothing from within the Space-Time Channel, which was starkly different from this world, rendering him an oddity.

What noble would wear like this?

Immediately, the two Vice Sect Leaders began to mock.

”Such a shabby kid, how dare you call him a noble? I think you’re just trying to deceive everyone!” A Vice Sect Leader immediately said.

”You call me shabby?” Ye Luo stepped forward upon hearing.

”Hmph, don’t you feel that yourself?” The Vice Sect Leader glanced at Ye Luo disdainfully.

Nobility cared about appearance, none would dress like this, and the disciples nearby laughed loudly.

”Wu Xia, I didn’t expect you to be so foolish, bringing a poor kid to impersonate nobility. Today, both of you will not escape death!” Another Vice Sect Leader struck at the two with a palm.
