CHAPTER 84 TRY OUT (PART ONE)
"Sir!" Thomas, Devin, and Alan exclaimed in unison. Their rage gradually subsided as they recognized
the presence of a powerful and honorable person.
All three froze upon seeing the sect leader, as his vital energy penetrated the surroundings. None of
them had expected the sect leader would come out of his solitude. The last time they saw him was ten
years ago, and they thought they could never see him again. Nonetheless, it was still an honor for them
to meet him again.
"I watch three of you grow up, from disciples to sect elders. But what is going on here? No matter what
happened, you didn't have to battle it out like that," the aged man talked to them with his weak voice.
The sect leader of the Ilmen Sect slowly walked to them with an intimidating demeanor. The three men
were feared. Finally, the dispute among the three was over because of his sentiment.
When Thomas and Devin Zhao saw the sect leader, they felt desolate and sorrow for him. Ten years
ago, the sect leader was a heroic figure, but now he looked like an aged farmer. Time would bring
everything away, and nobody could change that, even he was a sect leader. Was he still as powerful as
before? Or did he get weaker?
"We are so sorry that our battle interrupted your cultivation, Sir! We didn't mean to do so. We just
compared notes about martial arts. I'm sorry our discussion bothered you. Please forgive us, Sir,"
Thomas said reverently and frantically. Then he quickly walked forth and reached out his hands to hold
the sect leader's arm to help him stand. Thomas respected him sincerely, and he felt regret upon letting
him witness the commotion among them. Their sect leader had witnessed their immaturity over the
discussion.
Little did they know, the sect leader was fully aware of everything, so he snorted and said, "You don't
have to lie to me, Thomas. I knew well what was going on." Then, the sect leader waved at Thomas to
refuse his help, and continued, "Alan, I understand the pain you have suffered. Of course, it is hard for
a father to accept the fact his son has died like that. But rules are rules. You can't break our sect rules
because of your family issue. I will ask for justice for you and your son. Stop the fight right now! If the
others knew what happens today, the story would only turn into a joke and a scandal among people.
Are you sure you three can take it? We will be mocked by everyone. What they would talk about is not
a regular battle, but an intensive fight started by a renegade of our sect. Alan, do you want this to
happen to our sect? Make sure that you are ready for consequences."
The underlying meaning of the sect leader's gentle speech was discretely impactful. The part of
renegade petrified Alan, as he was terrified that the sect leader could have meant something else. This belongs to - ©.
'Does the old man figure out my real plan? But how? He was isolated for years. There's no way for him
to discover it, ' Alan wondered anxiously. Fear of being unveiled consumed him, making him clench his
fist.
To lessen the sect leader's suspicions, Alan changed his facial expression in a flash, and wept, "But
Sir! You don't understand. My poor son! He died so early! How can I take this? Why did this happen to
my son?
He was killed innocently. How can I forgive the murderer?"
Alan yelled like a crazy dog as if he was the most distressed person in the world. Then he activated his
vital energy under the mad mask, targeting the sect leader secretly. Alan was determined to do what he
had planned.
The second the sect leader appeared, Alan's uncle sent him a piece of message through his mind
power that it was a good time for Alan to try out the sect leader's cultivation base. It was an opportunity
for him to pretend to be insane because of massive sorrow out of his son's death. It was a deceitful
strategy for them.
Surprisingly, the sect leader, Michael noticed Alan's energy targeting him at once. 'So, that is what you
want? Fine! I will satisfy you, ' he thought mischievously.
Cleverly, Michael pretended that he knew nothing about Alan's sudden attack. He stepped back to keep
balance with a surprised look. He then comforted Alan, "Alan! Calm down! We won't resolve anything if
you let yourself succumb in wrath."
But Thomas and Devin knew well what trick Alan was playing. They activated their vital energy at the
same time, and yelled at Alan, "Alan, that's enough already! Don't play any tricks! How dare you attack
our leader? Have you gone mad?"
Then they rushed forth and launched attacks at Alan. They were eager to stop Alan and protect
Michael with all their might.
A smile flashed on Michael's face, and nobody noticed that as they were busy fighting. Michael knew
that it was time now to execute his plan.
"You three! Stop fighting! All of you!"
Michael cried out to make them stop. But his yelling didn't stop the fight. The fight became more
intense instead. The three were too immense with the fight that they couldn't hear their sect leader.
"God! None of you take my words seriously! That's enough! Stop all at once!"
Meanwhile, the timing that Michael was waiting for had come. Immediately, Michael disappeared, but a
hurricane appeared. The sky darkened, and the cloud roiled. Ominous energy enveloped the place.
The three, who were vigorously fighting, froze again as they saw what was happening.
The next second, hundreds of giant palms fell from the sky all of a sudden. Under the pressure of the
palms, the three cultivators of the Mysterious Realm were even hard to breathe.
'Raining Palms, Roiling Clouds. That's an Omnipotent Talent Skill!' An elder in black robe watched
them from a mountain afar. He was shaking in shock at what he was currently witnessing. He squinted
his eyes in deep thoughts.
"He has reached the Wonder Realm! He has practiced martial arts for one hundred and eighty years,
and now he even upgraded to the Wonder Realm. I guess that his cultivation is stronger than mine. We
are getting in trouble. I need to ask my friend for help," the elder in black robe murmured anxiously. In
an instant, he disappeared out of fear. Their plan backfired as they didn't expect that Michael had
reached Wonder Realm already. It was not included in their plan.
The fight stopped at once, and all the three paled under the pressure of raining palms. They were
overwhelmed by Michael's skill.
"You know how to stop now? Have you seen me as unworthy that you can't listen to my command? Are
you three powerful to defeat me? Then come and do so." Michael yelled at them with anger as he
appeared again. Then he rose one hand and waved his wrist. In a flash, everything went back to peace
as before.
