MTL NOVEL Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Today is Just a Warning!
Zhou Tong’s voice resounded through the grand hall, interrupting everyone’s discussion.
“This little beast really dares to come, how dare he?”
Huang Gang’s expression turned ashen; as the head of the Law Hall, everyone feared him, and no one had ever dared to openly insult him by name.
“All thanks to your good disciple.”
The deputy sect master looked at Mo Liushu, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Even he had not expected that a mere discarded pawn could stir up such waves.
Had he known, even burying him would not have warranted letting him go.
“Since he has come knocking, let’s go out and take a look.”
The deputy sect master stood tall, a cold hue in the corner of his eyes.
After a moment, a dozen elders hovered in the air, spotting Zhou Tong and the Chief Enforcer.
“Greetings, Lord Han Ye. What brings you here today?”
The deputy sect master cupped his hands and bowed, neither servile nor overbearing.
Zhou Tong stepped forward and said, his expression as indifferent as the other: “Kill.”
At this declaration, the faces of the dozen elders changed dramatically.
They had thought they could exchange pleasantries to ease the tension, but Zhou Tong cut straight to the point, turning their prepped remarks into scrap paper.
“You little beast, you have no place to speak here!”
A powerful aura descended, rushing towards Zhou Tong.
Huang Gang stepped out, looking down at Zhou Tong with an arrogant demeanor.
Upon seeing this man, Zhou Tong’s eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Back when he was still at the Jade Purity Sect, not favored by Mo Liushu, this old dog frequently sought trouble with him, often making him suffer without cause.
Over the years, most of the injuries Zhou Tong had sustained were at this man’s hands.
Now, both old grudges and new ones were about to be settled.
“Old dog, my Joyful Union Sect has no enmity with you, yet you sent people to obliterate my sect and massacre my people. Did you ever think it would come to this?”
“Hmph!”
Huang Gang sneered, his gaze drifting dismissively aside; in his eyes, Zhou Tong did not have the right to engage him in conversation.
“Predecessor, let’s get started.”
Zhou Tong smiled slightly, and since the other party did not care, he cared even less.
The Chief Enforcer wasted no time either and immediately unleashed an astonishing aura.
“You…”
Huang Gang’s face changed drastically; he wanted to speak, but it was too late. The Chief Enforcer’s aura crashed onto him like a falling star, striking him down.
“Poof… Ah, ah, ah…”
He screamed, spitting blood, his organs nearly shattered, directly suffering a fatal blow, as fragile as an infant.
This scene shocked everyone; they had thought that with so many people working together, even if they couldn’t defeat the Chief Enforcer, they could at least put up some resistance.
That idea was mercilessly crushed at this moment.
It should be noted that although Huang Gang had poor character, his strength was top-notch, indeed surpassing Mo Liushu, second only to the deputy sect master. Such a strong warrior couldn’t withstand the opponent’s aura; how could they fight?
How terrifying was this old man!
“Predecessor, please show mercy…”
Huang Gang was instantly filled with fear, begging for mercy, only to receive cold silence in return.
“Hehe… so this old dog knows fear after all. You looked down upon my question, yet do you not realize that before the Chief Enforcer, you are but an ant? Crushing you only requires a thought!”
“You little beast, I will tear you to pieces!”
Huang Gang roared, never imagining that his life was in Zhou Tong’s hands, leaving him humiliated and furious.
“Zhou Tong, are you done yet? Quickly let the Chief Enforcer cease! If anything happens to Hall Master Huang, can you bear the responsibility?”
Some elders reacted, not daring to intervene, but began to pressure Zhou Tong.
“I’m here to kill him today; if he doesn’t die, I won’t leave. How could you ask such a stupid question?”
Upon hearing this, several elders’ faces turned ashen.
Once they could easily manipulate Zhou Tong, but he was no longer the same as before.
This change made them extremely anxious and furious.
“Enough, brat!”
The deputy hall master finally spoke: “You are so young yet so violent. Just a bit of favor from the Chief Enforcer has you stirring up torrents of blood. Have you considered the consequences? Can the Chief Enforcer protect you for a lifetime?”
“I’m just seeking justice. Is it allowed for him to annihilate my sect, yet not permitted for me to kill him? What reason is that?”
“But the Joyful Union Sect is still safe and sound; you should know when to stop, quickly hold back!”
“Hahaha… what a huge joke! The only reason he hasn’t destroyed us is because he lacked the ability, and if I can kill him, I won’t show any mercy!”
Before his words were even finished, Huang Gang’s screams echoed from a distance.
Even with all his might, burning his life away was of no use; he was like a bug in the palm of the Chief Enforcer.
“Help me… save me!”
His voice trembled, filled with fear, realizing for the first time what it meant to regret.
All of this was because he had provoked Zhou Tong.
“Brat, I give you one last chance. Have the Chief Enforcer stop, and the Jade Purity Sect will no longer pursue your responsibility; otherwise…”
The deputy sect master’s voice was icy, beginning to threaten Zhou Tong.
Clang!
Zhou Tong drew his sword, pointing it at the deputy sect master’s throat.
“From now on, if I hear your voice again, I will grant you a death. Go ahead and test me.”
In an instant, the deputy hall master’s hair stood on end, filled with both anger and terror.
As some still wanted to intervene, Zhou Tong added, “Whoever dares to stop me from pursuing my vengeance, that person is my mortal enemy!”
With those words, everyone was silenced; even Mo Liushu’s face turned pale, not daring to speak further.
The Chief Enforcer smiled slightly at this scene, then tightened his grip.
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Huang Gang let out one final scream, his body exploding into a mist of blood.
The head of the Jade Purity Sect’s Law Hall died just like that.
“Brat, the thief leader has been removed; do you still want compensation?”
“I doubt this group of paupers has anything valuable.” Zhou Tong scoffed, but his gaze turned toward the entrance of the Jade Purity Sect.
“This entrance looks quite nice; it can be used as compensation for the Joyful Union Sect.”
“No way!”
Mo Liushu immediately refused, setting aside that the entrance itself was a precious object. To the sect, its facade was dignity; how could it be handed over willingly?
“I’m not discussing this with you; I’m just informing you!”
The Chief Enforcer acted decisively, raising his finger, swiftly uprooting the entrance.
“Today is just a warning. If you dare provoke me again in the future, it won’t be so lightly resolved as today!”
Before leaving, Zhou Tong left his final threat and then strode away.
The long wind blew, and the elders of the Jade Purity Sect remained frozen in mid-air, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
“How dare this brat do this! I will make you pay!”
The calm on the deputy sect master’s face had completely vanished, his features contorting violently.
Then, he spewed out a mouthful of blood!
