In fact, Old Man Ji Yin had obviously realized from the voice that the person who had just arrived, was the second Palace Master, Tan Zhongchi!
Tan Zhongchi was undoubtedly among one of the three most powerful authoritative figure in the massive Luo Empire. Inside the empire, the identity of the Second Palace Master was enough for him to do whatever he wanted.
Now, of course he need not show any courtesy when charging into the Ji Yin Mountain. Inwardly, Old Man Ji Yin was feeling doubtful as to why the Palace Master of the Star Gauze had come here personally. Indeed, he had made a lot of enemies. Yet, he did show sufficient respect to the Star Gauze Palace. What reason would he have to come here to kill my disciples?
At the moment, he gave a light whistle, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Could you be the Second Palace Master, Master Tan from the Star Gauze Palace? I am very sorry for not welcoming you myself."
On the surface, he spoke with a polite tone, yet his heart hung on a tightened string and he did not dare to make any careless movements.
With the strength of the Second Palace Master, if he truly wanted to slaughter the people of the Ji Yin Sect, his strength alone was enough. Thus, he must act with caution.
"Ji Yin, stop with the rubbish," Tan Zhongchi spoke with a tyrannical tone. In a flash, he had already jumped on top of the high position and glared at Ji Yin and his disciples with a bold and superior look.
If anyone else had looked at the Old Devil Ji Yin with such expression, he would most likely have already reported at the gates of hell in the next moment. However, Tan Zhongchi, the Second Palace Master was more than qualified to do so.
Although his gazes was not forceful, none of the six disciples dared to look him in the eye. Under his forceful gaze, each of them were either looking at their feet, or evaded him. Apparently, they could not resist against that formidable temperament from Tan Zhongchi.
Feeling nervous, Ji Yin immediately saluted as he moved forward: "Mr. Tan, you have come to the Ji Yin Mountain yourself, is there anything I could do for you?"
Before the Palace Master of the Star Gauze, regardless of how strong he may be, Ji Yin must lower his head.
It was the so-called saying of a tough punch would set the reason. If your strength was inferior, then you had no say.
"Seven Upper Sky disciples, still, six remains after Li Wuji died. All of you are here, excellent! Not one missing," Tan Zhongchi said lightly.
The scalp on the head of Ji Yin went numb as he looked at Tan Zhongchi in alarm: "Mr. Tan, you…"
Expressionless, Tan Zhongchi said: "Ji Yin, if I make a move now, do you think there is any chance for you seven to survive?"
Trembling inwardly, Old Man Ji Yin unconsciously took a step backward : "Master Tan, me and the Ji Yin sect had always respected the Star Gauze Palace. Each year, we were never late nor gave less in each year’s offerings. I just don’t understand how we had offended you that you had to come here yourself? Is there a misunderstanding?"
In fact, he already knew that this matter was related to the Qin family. Only, he had never expected that a martial arts student from a Middle Ranking Subordinate Country would genuinely cause a Palace Master to step out!
Could that son of the Qin be that famous?
Tan Zhongchi shook his head: "There were no misunderstanding. Ji Yin, let me ask you. A while ago, is it true that you have went to the Bai Yue Country to intimidate people, right?"
Indeed, he came here for this business. Although Ji Yin felt somewhat nervous, he couldn't refuse.
He said carefully: "Yes it happened. However, that son of the Qin killed my disciple. I only went there for revenge. And I listened to your Emissary’s mediation and I restrained myself during the trip and never had I went overboard."
"But you had killed people, that is correct?" Tan Zhongchi said with an unfriendly tone.
"Yes." Without a choice, Old Devil Ji Yin had to admit.
"Then you would not object if I kill some of your disciples, right?"
"I would not dare. The Star Gauze Palace is the ruler of the Great Luo Empire and controls life and death. No one could object over anyone they want to kill. I may be bold, but I would not dare to object." Ji Yin answered with humiliation.
"If I had killed you today, it would rather appear that the Star Gauze Palace had no sympathy." Tan Zhonchi said lightly, "Ji Yin, I know your personality. This time, when you returned from the Bai Yue, surely you were planning an escape path and ____. Yet, your little scheme could not be concealed before me."
Inwardly shocked, Ji Yin revealed a terrified look. This time, he did return to make plans for his great six disciples for them to get away. Then, he would be ready to use every means to destroy the Qin, before making the trip to the other country.
"Please, Mr. Tan, you must be joking. I had created the Ji Yin Sect myself and value my students greatly."
"I do wish these were your sincere words. After all, with your strength, you are one of the skilled people in the empire. This is also one of the reason where I am not going to kill you today."
Finally, Old Man Ji Yin felt less pressured for he had heard some important points. It seemed that the Second Palace Master did not intend to destroy his sect.
"I deeply appreciate your kindness, Mr. Tan."
Tan Zhongchi waved his hand impatiently: "No need for words of courtesy . Although I am not going to kill you today, it does not mean that I will not kill you in the future. I only came here to inform you that, if you value your power, your foundation you built from scratch, then, regardless of how many disciples the Qin from the Bai Yue had killed, you shall never seek revenge or cause trouble. Or else, you can use every means to do whatever you want, but I promise this, before your disciples have the chance to leave the empire, the Star Gauze will kill everyone of you. If one escapes, then it would be our fault for being incapable!"
It was indeed, a promising threat.
