Chapter 2317 - 2317 2307 So Weak It's Hopeless

2317: Chapter 2307: So Weak It’s Hopeless 2317: Chapter 2307: So Weak It’s Hopeless With just a wave of his hand, the Third Elder, who was originally floating in the air, fell towards the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Her entire body crashed heavily onto the ground, her originally neat clothes now disheveled, and even her hairpin, which had given her an air of elegance, had fallen to the ground.

“Such strength qualifies to be an Elder of your sect?”

Long Yan looked at Yin Yue with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The so-called Third Elder’s strength was too weak, merely at the Mid-stage of the Divine Emperor first stage.

Not to mention Long Yan, even Yu Hai, whom they had met before at the City God Temple, would not consider her an opponent.

Feeling Long Yan’s gaze, Yin Yue’s face flushed, not with shyness but with a shade of shame.

The Third Elder was a relative of the Second Elder and was only made an Elder due to the latter’s influence.

Such a person with feeble strength becoming the Third Elder was a joke among the Cultivation World of the Mingyue Sect.

Of course, the Third Elder’s prowess within the Mingyue Sect wasn’t particularly strong, and even many disciples surpassed her.

However, since she carried the title of Elder, everyone hesitated to offend her, knowing that a typical sect Elder would never be assigned to guard the Mountain Gate.

“Kid, I want you dead.”

The surrounding chill almost congealed into frost, as the Third Elder, in a sorry state, got back to her feet.

Layers of frost spread around her, but this did not affect Long Yan at all.

Instead, it made the Mingyue Sect disciples around shiver.

A black light barrier fell over all the Mingyue Sect disciples, instantly dispelling the bone-chilling cold.

Grateful glances were cast towards Long Yan, standing there with his hands behind his back.

No one dared to say another word.

“Old thing, if you hadn’t troubled me first today, I wouldn’t have targeted you.

But with your minute strength, you might as well forget it.”

Long Yan’s hand rose high, then pressed down.

The True Qi that was swirling around the Third Elder was pushed back into her body by an unnamed power, taking everyone present by surprise.

Upon reaching the Realm of the Divine Emperor, one would naturally develop a unique aura.

Of course, Long Yan had not employed True Qi before, and many Mingyue Sect disciples had mistaken him for just a pugilistic swordsman.

“You, kid!”

The Third Elder pointed at Long Yan and couldn’t utter a word for half a day.

Once one steps into the Realm of the Divine Emperor, it’s akin to becoming a Land Immortal, capable of doing many things previously impossible.

The benefits of this, of course, were for Long Yan to slowly discover.

Frustrated beyond words, unable to fight or argue back, the Third Elder was extremely vexed.

She had hoped to extort something from Yin Yue and the newer disciples returning today but had instead provoked such a dreadful figure.

Overcome by a sudden fit of rage, the Third Elder spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

With a gesture from Long Yan, the Third Elder’s body shot towards the Main Hall at the mountain top like a meteor – of course, under Long Yan’s influence, not flying on her own.

“Let’s go.”

Long Yan patted the astonished Yin Yue and said.

The road ahead was now cleared, and with a complicated look at Long Yan, Yin Yue didn’t quite know what to say.

She began to ponder secretly how to explain today’s incident to the Sect Leader if the Third Elder were to bring it up, especially since she was the direct disciple of the Sect Leader.

As the Sect Leader of the Mingyue Sect, Yin Yue did not wish to make her master uncomfortable, considering that the position of Elder represented the hierarchy within a sect, even though Mingyue Sect’s were rather nominal.

As the two walked the mountainous path with their differing thoughts, the Mingyue Sect’s mountain soared into the clouds.

Halfway up, clouds already drifted by their side, making the palace above seem even more like a celestial abode.

“Senior Sister!”

At that moment, three women in white landed in front of the group.

Long Yan narrowed his eyes slightly – these three’s strength was unexpectedly stronger than the previously encountered Third Elder.

Noticing their cold demeanour, their intentions were likely not friendly.

As if they hadn’t seen Long Yan, the three female disciples only paid their respects to Yin Yue and then drew their swords from their waists, pointing them at Long Yan.

“What are you doing?”

Yin Yue frowned slightly, recognizing all three of them as disciples from the Enforcement Hall.

Nevertheless, she expected why they directed their swords at Long Yan, and in the hierarchy of disciples, Yin Yue’s status was considerably higher than theirs.

“Sorry, Senior Sister, this time it’s an order from the Sect Leader, claiming that a strange man has trespassed upon the Mountain Gate, and we have been commanded to arrest him.”

The three women in white all showed a bitter smile; this was an order from the Sect Leader, which was likely indomitable by anyone within the Mingyue Sect.

Yin Yue bit her lower lip tightly and declared.

“I will go and speak to Master.”

But then a hand was placed on Yin Yue’s shoulder.

She turned her head to see Long Yan with a faint smile on his face, causing her cheeks to flush right away.

“Take it easy, it’s nothing.

I am supposed to meet your Sect Leader anyway.”

Long Yan raised his hands and didn’t resist at all.

The three women in white didn’t want to slight Yin Yue’s dignity, so upon seeing that Long Yan had no intention of fleeing, they sheathed their swords.

Ahead was the Main Hall where the Sect Leader resided.

From a distance, everyone could hear the Third Elder persistently advocating for severe punishment, obviously framing Long Yan as a trespasser at the Mountain Gate.

Walking into the Main Hall, the numerous disciples of the Mingyue Sect knelt on one knee, leaving only Long Yan standing proudly alone in the center of the entire hall, his eyes swiftly scanning the whole space.

The Mingyue Sect’s Main Hall appeared majestic from outside, but inside it was unexpectedly simple.

In front, there were four chairs, and the woman in the middle of them was about forty years old.

Yet due to good maintenance, she looked no more than thirty.

Beside her, to the left and right, were two old women, one of whom was resting with closed eyes, holding a dragon head cane.

If one observed closely, one could see formation symbols twinkling beneath the dragon head cane.

As for the other one, her eyes were darting cold light at Long Yan, apparently related to the Third Elder, the familiar one.

Standing in front of the Sect Leader, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder, the momentum differed vastly from that of the Third Elder, and it took only an instant for Long Yan to thoroughly grasp the power distribution within the Mingyue Sect.

“Kid, why do you not kneel?”

The Second Elder snorted coldly, and an intangible pressure enveloped Long Yan, almost forcing him to kneel with the terrifying force that should not be possible for someone of the first stage of Divine Emperor.

A flash of light passed over the background Martial God Array, yet Long Yan maintained his haughty stance, not bending his legs in the slightest.

“I am not a disciple of Mingyue Sect; why should I kneel?”

The golden pupils made the Second Elder above feel uneasy, clearly only at the realm of Divine Emperor first stage, and yet able to withstand her True Qi.

“Oh?

So that means you’re not here to apply as a disciple of Mingyue Sect?”

The Sect Leader in the center spoke up, gesturing with her hand to dispel the pressure that had been shrouding Long Yan.
