Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 185 - Elite Disciple

“That doesn’t seem like a good idea,” said Elder Yangwu, his brows creased even tighter.

Moreover, would they need Soul Searching if Chen Fan were really possessed by a demon?

Yingwu and Xiongwu used this as an excuse to make things difficult for Chen Fan. By suggesting the Soul Searching Technique, they were making it obvious that they were targeting him.

Yangwu wasn't naive; he understood Yingwu and Xiongwu's ulterior motives. They were trying to curry favor with Duan Jingtian.

“Elder Yangwu, our duty is to prevent petty scoundrels from infiltrating the inner sect. He went from martial trash to a Yuanfu realm expert in just six months. Even Duan Jingtian doesn't possess such heaven-defying talents, does he?

“His growth is just too abrupt. Some demon or spirit must have taken hold of him in the Qingyang Mountain Range. Soul Searching is a must to verify and prevent him from getting away with it!” Elder Xiongwu said righteously.

“Haha, how dutiful of you!” Chen Fan suddenly laughed. He looked at Yingwu and Xiongwu coldly, a sinister killing intent flickering in his eyes.

“The entire outer sect knows that I was indeed a martial trash. But by a stroke of luck, I survived a lightning strike. That opened my dantian and unblocked my meridians, propelling me to new heights. Why do you ignore that and insist on a demonic possession?”

“What a joke. You claim that the lightning opened your dantian and unblocked your meridians, and we should just believe you... why? Are we to accept any random excuse from those with ill intentions?"

Elder Yingwu smiled coldly and continued, “Our duty is to identify people like you. People with ill intentions or demons living inside them. We must prevent them from entering the inner sect and harming our Spring Autumn Sect disciples!”

“That’s right! Little bastard, if you dare to resist, it must mean that you indeed have a demon in you. I can kill you on the spot!” Elder Xiongwu also said coldly, looking as if he was sure to get the better of Chen Fan.

Simultaneously, a light emanated from Xiongwu and Yingwu's palms, exuding a peculiar aura. With cold smiles, they prepared to employ Soul Searching.

Chen Fan’s expression became ugly.

Setting aside the potential consequences of the Soul Searching Technique, he couldn't allow them to use the technique on him even if there were no side effects.

Having his soul searched would expose all his secrets, inviting a calamity that could cost him his life, given the opportunities he had obtained.

“Little bastard, you’d better not move or put up any resistance. Otherwise, I’ll immediately treat you like a demon and suppress and kill you. Cooperate, and maybe you'll come out unscathed,” Elder Xiongwu said, smiling sinisterly.

Elder Yangwu observed the scene, sighed, and chose not to intervene. They both belonged to the Sect Leader’s faction, and their actions seemed justified.

Interfering would risk offending Duan Jingtian, something he wished to avoid since he belonged to the neutral faction.

Chen Fan’s gaze was icy. His primeval force surged wildly, ready to strike back at any time.

I shouldn’t resist?

What a joke!

Suddenly, an icy voice rang in the hall.

“Yingwu, Xiongwu, how audacious of you trash to dare use Soul Searching on my disciple!”

Following the voice ringing in the hall, the space distorted briefly, and Wei Buyu appeared before them.

“Wei... Wei Buyu, why... why are you here!”

Yingwu and Xiongwu quaked in their boots. Their complexions instantly paled, stepping backward.

Wei Buyu said coldly, “If I hadn't come, my disciple would have suffered at your hands.”

“That’s not it. We were only fulfilling our duties!” Yingwu said timidly.

“Duties?” Wei Buyu advanced, a terrifying aura emanating from him and enveloping Yingwu and Xiongwu. With a resounding boom, both elders knelt under Wei Buyu's oppressive presence.

“Wei Buyu, you...” Yingwu and Xiongwu’s faces instantly turned red like a pig’s liver, staring angrily at Wei Buyu.

“What do you mean, you? Your duties? When the Sect Leader’s will descended, did he say a word about Chen Fan being possessed? Let alone the Sect Leader, will I not know if a demon possesses my disciple? Do you trash think you’re stronger than me?”

Pfft Pfft!

Yingwu and Xiongwu felt like a huge mountain had slammed into them, simultaneously spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

Chen Fan sighed in relief.

He didn’t expect Wei Buyu to appear at such a critical moment.

If Wei Buyu hadn’t come, he would have had to attack, which wouldn’t have ended well for him.

Yingwu and Xiongwu were at the fifth level. Currently, he couldn’t take on even one of them.

Looking indifferently at the two forced to kneel on the ground by Wei Buyu, a hint of pleasure rose in Chen Fan’s heart.

“I’ll let you off this one time. If I am to hear about you two trash trying to harm our Spring Autumn Sect’s genius in the dark again, I’ll take your worthless lives!”

Wei Buyu’s voice, filled with killing intent, reverberated in the hall. Yingwu and Xiongwu’s hearts trembled fiercely.

They didn’t doubt Wei Buyu’s words, as he had the strength to turn them into reality.

“Get lost!” Wei Buyu waved his arm.

Immediately, a strand of force struck Yingwu and Xiongwu. They screamed miserably and were thrown back, slamming onto a wall and spewing blood.

“You two idiots!” Chen Fan laughed coldly.

Since they knew about the promise between him and Duan Jingtian, they were also most likely aware of his relationship with Wei Buyu.

However, Yingwu and Xiongwu had tried to harm him just as he was about to enter the inner sect. That was simply courting death.

“Yangwu, record his name on the register,” Wei Buyu said to Yangwu.

Yangwu nodded and recorded Chen Fan’s name. Then, he took out the uniform and token for elite disciples and handed it to Chen Fan. “Congratulations. From now on, you’re an elite disciple of our Spring Autumn Inner Sect. Remember, our Spring Autumn Sect belongs to the righteous path. Every Spring Autumn Sect disciple must eliminate evil and give peace to the people.”

“Yes.” Chen Fan received the uniform and token and nodded.

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll bring you into the inner sect,” Wei Buyu said. He grabbed Chen Fan’s shoulder, and their figures flashed, instantly disappearing on the spot.

Seeing them leaving, Yingwu and Xiongwu came walking back, stumbling. Their gazes were filled with endless hatred.

Today, they had suffered a double loss!
