Sword Spirit Ss Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Elder Fan Takes Action

A slightly older disciple walked forward with a face filled with suspicion as he looked over Elder Fan.

Another disciple behind him whispered: “Senior brother Liu, let’s pull back. We can’t afford to offend elders.”

Unexpectedly, this senior brother Liu waved his hand and smiled poisonously: “This father’s stayed in the inner sect for four years, which elder haven’t I seen. Daring to pretend to be an elder in front of this father’s face, do you really take me for a fool? These three sneaks actually even dare to pretend to be an elder, there’s definitely something fishy. I’m guessing that this sword faction woman is most likely that involved female disciple!”

Reality proved that Lu Xuan’s worries weren’t without reason. The blade and fist factions united patrols, other than Lu Xuan, also included searching for Lin Xin Yi. From their perspectives, since Lu Xuan had saved Lin Xin Yi, then as long as they could find Lin Xin Yi, they would be able to find Lu Xuan.

But while most disciples recognized Lu Xuan, not many recognized Lin Xin Yi, thus all sword faction female disciples were within their scope for inspecting.

These disciples all knew this senior brother Liu’s qualifications. Although he wasn’t that strong, he had been rolling around in the inner sect for many years. Hearing him say that, the disciples behind him all became spirited again. Thinking about how they had almost been intimidated, they even became angry and began to each angrily yell.

“Daring to pretend to be an elder and trying to escape investigation, isn’t that not putting our blade faction in your eyes too much!”

“Hurry up and hand her over, and you, obediently take a walk with us!”

“It’s best to know where you stand, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”
(TN: Is that really being offered a toast though? Have you ever wondered if some people just don’t know their idioms? Maybe I’m the one who doesn’t know their Chinese idioms.)

As they said this, these disciples each pulled out their weapons, pressing in on Elder Fan’s trio. Noticing there was something going on to the side, the blade and fist faction’s disciples in the vicinity hurried over.

Among the inner sect’s nine great faction divisions, the blade faction and the fist faction were both ranked among the top three and were originally very strong. This time, the two faction’s joined hands and even exhausted their strength. Their influence was extremely large. These disciples were also foxes pretending to be tigers, very arrogant.
(TN: It’s cooler in Chinese because the characters for fox and tiger here are p.r.o.nounced very similarly.)

Looking at the surrounding dozen of disciples. Elder Fan was so mad he smiled. He had lived for so long. Since he had reached four star spirit runemaster and become an Enchantment Hall elder, when had he been disrespected like this.

“I hadn’t thought that this old man stayed in the Enchantment Hall for so long that even a few mere faction disciples would dare to look down on me!”

As Elder Fan this, that senior brother Liu’s mind suddenly had a thought. His face suddenly held a trace of terror. He had forgotten the Enchantment Hall!

It wasn’t only the inner sect that had elders in the Wind Sword Sect. Enchantment Hall, Refining Hall, and Spirit Dan Hall similarly also had elders, only these three places weren’t conjoined with the inner sect. The elders of the three great halls would rarely come to the inner sect’s jurisdiction, thus he had omitted them.

Because this time’s matter had occurred in the inner sect, he only knew that this old man wasn’t an elder of the inner sect’s nine great faction divisions and hadn’t taken Elder Fan to be a problem. He hadn’t thought that an Enchantment Hall elder would intervene in this matter!

He hurriedly wanted to explain, but it was already too late. With Elder Fan’s ident.i.ty, being yelled at by inner sect disciples, who cares if you meant it or not, that was absolutely unacceptable. The result was disaster comes from careless talk.

Elder Fann only waved his hand in a large arc and a rune was drawn out.

Some disciples without vision saw that the old man still dared to resist. They didn’t have any hesitation and directly raised the weapons in their hands and charged forward. That senior brother Liu was too late to stop them.

“Not knowing life and death!” Elder Fan’s voice snapped. The rune in his hand had already quickly formed. If Lu Xuan saw it, he would see something familiar because what Elder Fan had used was impressively the Thunder Fire Rune that he had studied for a long time.

(TN: That’s one of those funny phrases that p.i.s.ses you off when the antagonist says it, but if a good guy says it, you’re like “Yeah, that’s right, they don’t know the difference between life and death! Show ‘em who’s boss!”)

It wasn’t that Elder Fan didn’t know higher level runes but was because if he used a higher level rune, perhaps the dozens of disciples in front of him would all die. Elder Fan only wanted to teach this group of disciples a lesson, not try to kill them.

But even if it was only a one star spirit rune Thunder Fire Rune, in Elder Fan’s hands, the strength absolutely wasn’t comparable to Lu Xuan’s.

There was the sound of thunder as fire light flashed by. A powerful wave was sent out!

The surrounding dozen or so disciples faces turned to horror. How could they block this kind of powerful attack. Under the powerful attack, each one of them were all sent flying.

This was because Elder Fan was still holding back. The attack only had some charging attack force and didn’t have any explosive killing force, otherwise, just this Thunder Fire Rune would be enough to take away more than half of their lives.

But Elder Fan obviously didn’t plan on just sparing this group of disciples. His hand stretched out and waved again. Another rune flashed by. The surrounding yuan force was mobilized by him and wound around the group of disciples, tying them up tightly.

Impressively, this was a three star spirit rune, G.o.d Binding Rune!

G.o.d Binding Rune, as it names suggested, could even bind up G.o.ds but of course that was a bit exaggerated, but its results for binding were indeed pretty good. With Elder Fan’s strength, it was more than enough to bind up this group of disciples.

As the G.o.d Binding Rune came, this group of disciples powers were all sealed. A stream of yuan force was wrapped around their bodies causing them to be unable to move in the slightest.

There was the sound of bangs as each of the disciples fell to the ground in various ways and crashed with bruises all over their faces, lying on the ground unmoving.

When Elder Fan took action, most likely these disciples, even if they were stupider, would also know that they had kicked an iron sheet this time. The old man in front of them was most likely truly an elder and not pretending. They inwardly complained to themselves and cursed their senior brother Liu half to death.

“Elder, please calm your anger. Disciple did not intend to offend, really didn’t, really didn’t&h.e.l.lip;” Senior brother Liu tried to find an excuse for a while but couldn’t.

Elder Fan was too lazy to waste words with him. He coldly snorted and openly exclaimed: “All of you get up.”

As he said this, Elder Fan released the strength of the binding on the disciples. Waiting until they had gotten up, the binding tightened again. Other than their feet, their entire body couldn’t move at all.

Scanning over their bodies, Elder Fan loosened one fist faction and one blade faction disciple and said: “Go tell your elders and have them come over to the sword faction.”

The two disciples that had been released were like they had been granted amnesty and quickly left, rus.h.i.+ng straight for the fist faction and blade faction.

Finished speaking, Elder Fan no longer paid attention to the remainders of the group of disciples. He brought Lin Xin Yi and Chen Xiao Han to continue walking towards the sword faction, however, the bindings on those disciples weren’t untied.

Some of the more clever ones obediently followed Elder Fan, walking after him, as for the others that didn’t move, they were fiercely dragged across the ground before realizing how they ought to act.

Seeing Elder Fan’s large display of martial prowess, Chen Xiao Han was naturally delighted, and Lin Xin Yi also revealed a happy expression. Seeing Elder Fan like this made it seem like there would be a good way to help Lu Xuan’s aftermath. With the Enchantment Hall standing on the sword faction’s side, most likely even if the blade and fist faction’s united, the sword faction still wouldn’t need to fear.

Lin Xin Yi guessed correctly. Elder Fan had these exact intentions. If he hadn’t promised, then whatever, but since he had already promised Chen Xiao Han about Lu Xuan’s plea, then naturally he had to see things through.

Seeing the blade and fist factions intentions were evidently not only to act against Lu Xuan and was also directed at Lin Xin Yi. If he wanted to protect Lu Xuan, the two faction perhaps may not be willing to let it go, but if it was only protecting Lin Xin Yi, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Following after Elder Fan, that senior brother Liu’s face was depressed. The previous arrogance was long gone. The fall had left his face ashen, causing him to be even more embarra.s.sed.
(TN: Didn’t know how to translate 摔得铁青的右脸)

He had originally intended to capture Lin Xin Yi and then go to the blade faction’s Elder Yu and others to take credit. He hadn’t thought that there would be such a reliable backer by Lin Xin Yi’s side. This time was trying to steal the chicken only to end up losing the rice. Most likely there would be a disciplining at the time.
(TN: He suffered a loss)

However, what senior brother Liu hadn’t imagined was that on the following road, they had b.u.mped into the quite a few of the outspoken two factions disciples, all who had the same idea as him, each coming over to provoke.

Originally he wanted to warn them, but after thinking about it, if there were more people like him to blame, at the time he wouldn’t stick out as much. Suddenly he was gloating as he watched the chaos.

Once Elder Fan had arrived at the sword faction’s field, he had 40-50 blade and fist faction disciples behind him, all of them having been bound by yuan force, their actions restricted.

Seeing such a formidable large wave of people walking here, a few of the sword faction disciples were greatly shocked, hurriedly getting into their defensive states, eyes filled with vigilance.

As people of the sword faction, they naturally already knew about the chaos that Lu Xuan had caused. While they were proud of Lu Xuan, at the same time, they were also anxious, not knowing how this situation would end.

Seeing the sword faction disciples, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Lin Xin Yi hurriedly walked to the front to greet them.
(TN: It’s too late for this girl to not cause unnecessary understandings. You could have prevented it by not following strangers. Smh. People in the cultivation world don’t even get taught stranger danger.)

Once they saw Lin Xin Yi, this group of disciples revealed happy expressions. One of the most critical people in this matter finally appeared!

“Senior sister Lin came back!

“Junior sister Lin came back!”

“Senior sister Lin, where’s senior brother Lu?”

The crowd of disciples each made their greetings and simultaneously asked.

Lin Xin Yi didn’t have the time to tell them the details and only said: “Quickly contact Elder Cheng. Say Enchantment Hall’s Elder Fan has come to visit. We’re going to the Sword Pavilion first and waiting there.”

These disciples were stunned for a bit, subconsciously glancing at Elder Fan for a second, and then recovered. They quickly left to go contact Elder Cheng and the others. Since Lin Xin Yi had spoken thus, it seemed like the arriving people were friends and not enemies.

Seeing the crowd of disciples going to report, Lin Xin Yi then turned and said: “Elder Fan, let’s first go to the Sword Pavilion. I imagine Elder Cheng and the others will also go.”

Elder Fan scanned over the sword faction’s scenery and nodded his head. He lightly sighed: “It’s been a long time since I came to the sword faction. A pity, among the large Wind Sword Sect, the primary sword faction has actually dropped to this step, which allowed the blade faction to start acting up.”

Obviously, Elder Fan also experienced the sword faction’s era of brilliance. The sword faction at that time had plenty of geniuses, experts like the clouds, able to cover the sky with one palm in the Wind Sword Sect. When did it become a tiny blade faction’s turn to become arrogant.
