Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 81's. Feeling Betrayed
The great hall of the Sky Mage Sect.
Chen Xiaotian was sitting on the throne on the pulpit with a gloomy expression. The subordinate he sent to investigate about his third disciple Lin Yu came back to report that Lin Yu was not killed by the Blood Licking Sect Elder, Cui Ming.
Both of his students were brave enough to lie to him.
He instructed the subordinates beside him, “Call Elder Gao Qing and Elder Wu Honggang to the great hall. If they dare to resist, kill them mercilessly!"
"Okay, Sect Leader!" The subordinate saluted and left the large hall.
These people were death warriors personally trained by Chen Xiaotian. By themselves, they might not be Gao Qing or Wu Honggang's opponents, however, with over thirty of them together, it would be impossible for Gao Qing or Wu Honggang to escape if in the siege.
Chen Xiaotian still remained seated on the throne, pondering over something with a face that looked sullen. Be it Gao Qing and Wu Honggang were his students, he knew their characters well. Unless there was someone instructing them behind him, they would not dare to deceive him.
Moreover, recently, he had sensed that something was wrong within the Sect and made his feelings uneasy.
Perhaps, capturing Gao Qing and Wu Honggang could help him dig up information and find out what reason they were lying to him.
However, a pitiful voice that suddenly interrupted Chen Xiaotian's mind as he was dissolving in his mind.
Chen Xiaotian raised his head and looked surprised. This voice sounded like a subordinate he had just ordered to bring and capture Gao Qing and Wu Honggang.
In the next instant, a heartbreaking shout sounded and echoed within the hall, the final scream becoming clearer as the distance of the incident got closer to the large hall.
Hearing their screams in succession, caught Chen Xiaotian's attention. His face turned slightly pale as fear was seen on his face..
The consecutive series of screams all came from the Sect troops he sent out just a moment ago, as well as the guards around the large hall. All of them were his most loyal subordinates and troops.
"Did someone launch an attack on the Sky Mage Sect?" Chen Xiaotian guessed and hesitated.
"The Blood Licking Sect ?! Or the Nine Demons Sect?"
In Death City, only these two powers had the ability to do so.
Just as Chen Xiaotian was about to exit the large hall to check what was happening outside, he saw one of the guards was kneeling and his body was covered in blood.
"Sect Leader, run fast!" When those words came out of his mouth, the guard then fell to the floor and no longer moved.
Chen Xiaotian's feelings were getting ugly. Before he took his next step, several bodies of guards were thrown into the large hall, in each of these guards' chests were red fingerprints that were striking in their chests.
"The Hands of the Killer!" Chen Xiaotian's eyes glared at the sight.
The Slaying Hand Palm was a high-level battle skill of the Sky Mage Sect, only those with the position of an Elder to the top were allowed to learn this skill.
At this point, a group of people rushed towards the great hall of the Sect. Chen Xiaotian turned to look and he saw Geng Ken was walking into that hall, dressed in a red robe, with a group of Sect Elders following from behind him, including his two disciples, Gao Qing and Wu Honggang. The person he had just ordered to be captured by his subordinates was seen among the Elders who entered the hall with Geng Ken.
Not only that, even the oldest and second disciple, Du Xin and Deng Guangliang were also seen entering the Sect hall, walking behind Geng Ken.
"Geng Ken, what have you done?!" Overcoming his shock and trying to be patient, Chen Xiaotian actually felt calmer and reprimanded Geng Ken.
Stopping six to seven meters in front of Chen Xiaotian, Geng Ken had a cold and condescending expression painted on his face.he said, "What do you think?"
As Chen Xiaotian's eyes swept over Gao Qing, Wu Honggang, Du Xin, Deng Guangliang, and most of his Sect Elders, he suddenly lowered his head back with an exaggerated laugh. Chen Xiaotian stared intently at the Ken Gang, “Little Midget, it seems like I, Chen Xiaotian underestimated you. But, it won't be easy if you want to take over the position to become the Sect Leader of the Sky Mage Sect!"
Chen Xiaotian was pondering who was directing Gao Qing and Wu Honggang from behind, but upon seeing Geng Ken, he had already found the mastermind of all these matters was none other than Gang Ken.
It was not just once or twice since Geng Ken had the ambition to take the position of Sect Leader of the Sky Mage Sect.
However, neither Geng Ken nor the other Sect Elders spoke a word. Instead, they all turned around and retreated to the side, opening a wide distance in the middle, with their heads lowered towards the entrance of the hall.
Before Chen Xiaotian's puzzled expression could be seen, a black-haired young man emitting a domineering aura walked into the hall with the edge of the robe fluttering.
"We greet Young Master"
Geng Ken and the Sky Mage Sect Elders were currently kneeling in salute to Zhang En.
Chen Xiaotian's eyes widened, filled with confusion and shock as he observed the black-haired young man.
Zhang En walked into the great hall of the Sky Mage Sect, his face remaining expressionless even as he saw Geng Ken and the Sky Mage Sect Elders kneeling in reverence, he said, "You all stand up."
“We thank Young Master!” Geng Ken and the others stood up after ending their sentences.
Zhang En walked leisurely until he was in front of Chen Xiaotian.
At that moment, Chen Xiaotian gasped back to his senses from his shock and now he realized that he was mistaken in his conclusion just now upon seeing Geng Ken. The person behind Gao Qing and Wu Honggang was not Geng Ken.
"You who?!" The question came out of Chen Xiaotian's mouth as he studied Zhang En carefully. His instincts told him that Zhang En was not a member of the Blood Licking Sect or the Nine Demons Sect.
Zhang En faced Chen Xiaotian, nonchalantly saying, "Who I am is insignificant," after a short pause, Zhang En resumed his words, "I think you'll better understand that there's no way out for you today. You only have two choices, surrender or death."
Zhang En wasted no time talking nonsense, laying down two options for Chen Xiaotian in a straightforward and precise manner.
Chen Xiaotian coincidentally glanced towards Geng Ken, Du Xin, and Deng Guangliang as they stood behind Zhang En. Suddenly, an extremely cold and desolate feeling of despair emerged from his heart. "Is this what it feels like to be betrayed and abandoned?"
