Chapter 537: Chapter 523: Command of the Main Hall Disciples

Outside the stone house of the Spirit King Pool, Xiao Ye heard this haughty voice and couldn’t help but be stunned as he looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a burly young man standing proudly above Heaven, carrying a heavy broadsword on his back, his thick hair fluttering in mid-air, and his black eyes flashing with brilliance.

Following behind this young man was another young man with a refined and elegant demeanor; however, his eyes, flickering with cold light, made him look like a venomous snake. He was none other than Fan Li, who had a heated confrontation with Xiao Ye during the assessment at Earth Hall.

Xiao Ye slightly squinted his eyes.

Tian Jiu bringing such a young man here to find him was clearly a sign of ill intent.

"It’s a disciple from Earth Hall, Wu Pojun!"

"It is said that his cultivation has reached the King Martial Fourth Level, and he has even condensed a King Body, making his strength extremely formidable. He has quite a reputation in Earth Hall, and yet here he is."

...

The disciples who had recently entered the Initial King Realm and were gathered outside the stone house began discussing amongst themselves upon seeing Wu Pojun.

"Disciple from Earth Hall, Wu Pojun!" Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled with brilliance upon hearing this, and then he silently watched the other party, secretly guessing his intentions.

"Elder Yang!"

Wu Pojun and Fan Li flew over together and landed on the ground, greeting Elder Yang with a cupped-fist salute.

Don’t be fooled by Elder Yang’s unimpressive appearance; he was once the leader of the Law Enforcement Elders in the Earth Hall, and he possessed terrifying strength along with extremely powerful combat techniques.

Any disciple who had spent some time in Earth Hall would want to curry favor with Elder Yang to gain his attention and receive his legacy. Wu Pojun was no exception.

"Old man here is no longer a Law Enforcement Elder of Earth Hall, there’s no need for such courtesy," Elder Yang said lightly upon seeing them salute, "Besides, I’ve already said that among all the disciples in Earth Hall, none are qualified to inherit my legacy, so you need not flatter me like this."

Upon hearing Elder Yang’s discourteous yet direct words, Wu Pojun couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but understanding the old man’s character, he didn’t mind at all.

In fact, many disciples from Earth Hall had been turned away by Elder Yang.

Wu Pojun then raised his head, his gaze settling on Xiao Ye, and he spoke: "Are you Xiao Ye? I’m here because I have been instructed by Lin Feng, a disciple of the Main Hall, to seek your assistance."

"Seeking my assistance?" Xiao Ye was a bit startled and looked at the other party with confusion.

What could he, a new disciple just joined the Earth Hall, possibly help with concerning a Devilish Disciple from the Main Hall?

When Xiao Ye noticed the cold smirk on Fan Li’s face, who was standing next to Wu Pojun, he suddenly understood.

No need to say more, that disciple named Lin Feng must be the one who ordered Fan Li to deliberately approach him, seeking to take the opportunity to snatch away Little White.

Although Wu Pojun said he was seeking help, it was certainly an opportunity to make things difficult for him.

"Wu Pojun!" At this moment, Elder Yang frowned and spoke displeasedly, "I know you have sided with Ye Feng, but Xiao Ye is a new disciple of Earth Hall, I’m afraid he can’t be of much help. You should leave now."

With his insight, he could tell at a glance that Wu Pojun claimed to be seeking Xiao Ye’s help, but actually, he wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Ye.

Wu Pojun looked at Elder Yang in surprise upon hearing this.

Elder Yang’s personality was such that he always treated the disciples of the Earth Hall straightforwardly, never mincing his words. Now, to see him actually speaking on behalf of Xiao Ye felt somewhat strange to him.

"Elder Yang!" Although Wu Pojun found it strange, he still spoke respectfully, "Please don’t make things difficult for a disciple. I am merely passing a message from Senior Brother Lin Feng of the Main Hall."

"Moreover, as your elderly self knows, the devilish disciples of the Main Hall in the Holy Palace have many privileges. If Junior Brother Xiao Ye dares to refuse now, even if your elder self can protect him now, his future in the Earth Hall will definitely be very difficult."

Wu Pojun’s respectful yet assertive words, however, angered Elder Yang.

"Haha!" Elder Yang let out a laughter in extreme anger. His hair, wild like straw, flew about as the terrifying suppression of the Emperor Martial Realm swept out, causing Wu Pojun’s face to slightly change, feeling as if he was carrying a great mountain on his back, making breathing difficult.

"It seems that Old Man Yang has been guarding the Spirit King Pool for too long and has almost been forgotten. Even you youngsters dare to question me! You go tell Lin Feng that I, Elder Xiao Ye, have endorsed him. If he has the courage, let him come."

"If he angers me, no matter what kind of devilish disciple he is from the Main Hall, I will still cripple his cultivation!"

Hearing Elder Yang’s resolute tone, Wu Pojun couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

No wonder Elder Yang, despite his profound cultivation, was demoted to guard the Spirit King Pool after clashing with the Holy Palace Master.

Especially the favorable treatment Elder Yang showed towards Xiao Ye filled him with jealousy.

To know that all the disciples of the Earth Hall very much wanted to inherit from Elder Yang, they naturally held great enmity towards any disciple who received special treatment from him.

"Elder Yang, you should know that the devilish disciples of the Main Hall represent the future of the entire Holy Palace. Do you dare to contend with them?" Wu Pojun’s tone became icy.

A person’s patience is limited, and so was Wu Pojun’s. Repeatedly rebuked by Elder Yang, Wu Pojun had become impatient and his tone to Elder Yang had also turned rude.

"You little brat!" Elder Yang roared angrily, like a furious lion, ready to teach him a lesson when Xiao Ye stopped him.

"Elder Yang, such a petty person is not worth your anger," Xiao Ye said with a sincere smile on his face, showing a trace of gratitude.

Elder Yang’s protective nature invoked endless gratitude in him.

He could see that Elder Yang’s current position was very awkward. If the conflict continued to worsen, Elder Yang might really be punished. He did not want to see him suffer that fate.

Xiao Ye, who was clear about gratitude and grievance, would surely seek revenge for a grudge and repay a debt of gratitude.

Then, Xiao Ye turned to Wu Pojun and said indifferently, "Tell me, what matter is so challenging that all the disciples of the Earth Hall are helpless, yet you come to seek help from a newbie like me."

"Boy, your mouth really is venomous!"

Hearing Xiao Ye’s words tinged with sarcasm, Elder Yang was first stunned, then burst into hearty laughter, finding it extremely delightful and viewing Xiao Ye with increasing fondness.

Wu Pojun almost choked on his internal injuries from that remark, yet he had no words to retort.

But what could he do, considering he had come specifically to cause trouble.
