Chapter 302 Grand Elder Jimen
Chapter 302 – Grand Elder Jimen
It was not that Hestia did not care about Elder Shao and the others who had fled. Merely, the hunchbacked old man who led the Red Sun Sect gave him a powerful pressure.
“The old man is not simple! Elder Hu, abort the plan! The disciples are in danger!” Hestia suddenly got up and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Hu Xiandao could not even give him an answer before he disappeared.
“Hah? Waitaminute! He said the disciples were in danger! I have to tell them!” Hu Xiandao hurriedly ran towards the disciples who were still unaware of what was going on.
Bang out!
Hm?
Grand Elder Jimen assessed the beautiful woman in front of him. From his appearance, he looked to be in his early twenties, but his cultivation level was already on par with the elders of the Red Sun Sect. She then looked at the badge of the Heavenly Sword Tower in Hestia's dress and her eyes shone understandingly. ‘Young women like that! And he seems to have a high status in the Heavenly Sword Tower!’ He cried out in his heart.
The elders and disciples of the Red Sun Sect were also astonished by the sudden appearance of Hestia, but they soon realized the emblem on her clothes.
“He is from the Heavenly Sword Tower! So they were the ones who actually killed the young master!”
“Hey is beautiful, how about you come with us. We promise we won't hurt you.” The elders of the Red Sun Sect had cold smiles on their faces as they stared at the lithe figure of Hestia. Some hot-blooded youths even glanced at him with immoral gazes.
Looking at the scene not far away, the new disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower were shocked when they saw Hestia blocking the path of the Red Sun Sect. Shouldn't they ambush their group? Then what did Elder Hestia do? It was their thoughts when they saw this scene.
“Isn't that Elder Hestia? Why is he there? What about our plan?” The disciples were confused by the sudden development and even the elders were shocked as well.
“All of you, collect it to me right now! Elder Hestia ordered everyone to cancel the assassination plot! Fast!” Hu Xiandao's voice suddenly floated into their ears.
“Eh? Why did we cancel the plan? The Crimson Sun Sect group is not even aware of our presence. We could have executed that plan easily.”
“True. What did Elder Hestia think?”
Hu Xiandao laughed bitterly when he saw the sad expressions of the disciples. Even he was surprised by Hestia's sudden order, but he was the leader of the group and was not good to defy her orders.
Meanwhile, Hestia was now looking at the hunchbacked old man with a serious look. He even pulled out his sword and prepared to attack.
He could feel boundless power coming from the old man, and this became clearer after he approached him. With his cultivation at the late stage of a 9th rank Saint, he had no problem with defeating even those experts at the peak stage of a 9th rank Saint. However, the old man in front of him gave him a dangerous vibe which meant that his strength surpassed that of 9th rank Saints!
“Think that the Red Sun Sect has an old ancestor like you. I'm really surprised by this revelation.” Hestia said in a calm voice, but inwardly she was worried about her discovery. It was a good thing that he had sensed danger before or the new disciples might be in danger if he did not tell them to retreat!
Grand Elder Jimen who was bowing coughed and steadied himself with his staff. His appearance turned pale for a moment, but he soon recovered.
“Grand Elder! Are you okay?”
“Grand Elder, what happened?” The elders and disciples of the Crimson Sun Sect glanced at the hunchbacked old man worriedly. They knew that their grandparents suffered from the disease and their health had declined since then. His almighty figure had been reduced to his current condition after suffering the effects of the disease. The Red Sun Sect used many of their high-level spiritual herbs to help him recover his peak condition, but other than alleviating his pain a little, the spiritual plan failed to heal him. Since then, he had rarely come out of the sect and secluded himself to prevent his health from deteriorating further. He had only come out recently after hearing of his grandson's death …
Grand Elder Jimen shook his head slowly. “I'm fine.” Said the old man. He then looked at Hestia with a calm look and casually said. “You are very young, but you have already reached the final stage of a 9th rank Saint. It seems like the Heavenly Sword Tower is truly heaven for peak martial arts experts.”
“What?! He is a Saint of the late stage 9th rank?! How is it possible?!”
“Cannot be! He looks no more than twenty.”.
Everyone wanted to refute the old man's words, but they knew that the old man was not someone who lied. In that case, the woman in front of them was indeed a late stage 9th rank Saint!
Hestia became more convinced by her conjecture after hearing the old man's words. He held his sword tightly as he stared at the old man, afraid he would suddenly launch an attack. “Don't say you are ... Newborn God Realm expert?” He was a little surprised when he asked the old man.
Grand Elder Jimen's turbid eyes flashed for a while and he chuckled. “Hahah! Are you trying to buy time for those young people? You don't have to worry about that, little girl. I'm not here to kill the younger generation. I just want to know why my grandson was killed. Despite his horrible character, Jimen Kang is still my grandson. The Heavenly Sword Tower should give enough reason to kill him.” Although the voice of the old man was calm, Hestia felt a sudden surge of pressure coming from him. If not for his cultivation, he would have already kneeled down.
