Chapter 84
What Li Qin had been facing was only the simple defensive function of the tactical formation. The real power could only be switched on by Jiang Chen.
Since it could cause many casualties, Jiang Chen didn’t want to switch it on and hurt innocent bystanders.
But since Li Qin was going too far, he wouldn’t be so civil to her either.
He switched on the grand formation completely. Endless fog sprang up among the whole peak, making the landscape hazy.
Li Qin was drowned in the fog. She had experienced the power of the formation, but anger had readied her mind for battle, so she kept attacking.
“Demon Killer’s Holy Wind!”
Li Qin waved the streamer in her hand to call up a strong wind that was powerful enough to break everything. The wind was preparing to sweep everything into the air.
“Everyone, this guy is as cruel as it gets. He intended to kill a sibling disciple in front of everyone and harm an elder. Follow me to crack his formation and catch him!”
After confirming Li Qin was already safe, Elder An looked over to the other elders. Her eyes were full of anger.
Most of the elders nodded.
“A grand formation? Could it stop so many elders?” Those of the Redcloud Peak were very worried.
When the elders were about to attack, a ruthless scolding voice appeared.
“You’re swearing black is white! Your disciple intruded into others’ territory. And you don’t allow any counterblow? Let me tell you. In this case, you can’t blame anyone, even if your disciple was killed. As for you, you should have taken her away after entering the formation, but you wanted to crack the formation? What? Do you think you can do anything you want just because you are an elder?”
Mo Xu!
He was the oddest grand supreme elder, the one who always went his own way. He didn’t pay attention to anyone except the leader of the school.
He was on Jiang Chen’s side and had made mincemeat of Elder An in a frank manner. The elders who were about to help her immediately gave up the idea.
Ding Bai, the leader of the Hall of Penal Law, had come along with Mo Xu.
“It will be the job of the Hall of Penal Law to judge whose responsibility it is. You don’t get to call upon others to crack the formation for you,” Mo Xu said.
Elder An was extremely pale, unable to refute.
“Leader Ding, please make a conclusion,” an elder said.
Ding Bai braced himself to say, “Li Song died in a sky fight. Jiang Chen had nothing to do with his death. This is the rule. Li Qin intruded into another disciples’ peak to do harm, which is a violation of the rules. But since she lost her head due to the loss of her brother, this time she will only receive a warning. She should in no way recommit the error again.”
The leader of the Hall of Penal Law was trying to smooth things over. He didn’t want to offend either side.
“Leader Ding, I have something to say,” Jiang Chen suddenly said.
“Oh?”
Jiang Chen walked out of the formation and said, “Elder An and her disciple intruded into my Redcloud Peak. I had to turn on the formation because of them, and it cost me almost a million yuan stones. I want compensation for this!”
He said this with sufficient reason. The crowd was all struck dumb.
This Jiang Chen had killed Li Qin’s brother and nearly killed her with his tactical formation. And now he was asking for compensation for the cost of the formation…
It took people some time to think of the proper word to describe him—unpredictable.
“Eh…” Ding Bai looked over to Elder An, whose face was almost distorted. He wasn’t sure what he should do.
“Can an elder do anything at will without paying the price?” Jiang Chen said.
“All right! I’ll compensate you for your loss!” Elder An said reluctantly.
“Jiang Chen!” Li Qin suddenly shouted. “I will kill you for sure. No matter what kind of punishment I’ll receive, I will kill you for sure! You’d better stay at the Redcloud Peak for your whole life!”
Then she flew towards where her brother’s dead body was.
“Leader Ding, Li Qin has lost her head. No offence,” Elder An hurried to say. It was unwise for Li Qin to speak like this before so many elders.
No one really believed Li Qin had lost her head. She meant it, but for the moment she was only saying it and wasn’t really causing any harm, so no one could do anything about it.
“Go back, everyone! You guys are from the Peak of the Heavenly King? Why do I only see you when there’s trouble?” Ding Bai looked over to the guys of the Peak of the Heavenly King and said in a disgruntled manner.
They were pale. This time they had totally lost the battle.
No one knew how angry Ning Haotian would become when he came back and heard all these things.
