Chapter 113 - 113: The Background of Dugu Nian
Dugu Nian was glaring at Fang Lin with a face full of resentment; she was unwilling to admit her defeat and wanted to compete with Fang Lin again.
Fang Lin twitched his mouth, not willing to engage with this girl.
To his surprise, Dugu Nian suddenly rushed towards him, trying to grab him from behind.
“Nian, behave yourself!” An elder from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect immediately scolded her, with a look of urgency on his face.
This was the Pill Sect, not the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect. If they did something out of line on someone else’s turf, they might find it hard to even leave the Pill Sect.
Just as Dugu Nian was about to reach Fang Lin, Fang Lin, without turning his head, launched a kick at her, hitting her directly in the stomach.
Like a burst bag, Dugu Nian was kicked away by Fang Lin and fell to the ground in a disheveled manner, clutching her stomach in pain. This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.
“OMG, Fang Lin really went for it.”
“Isn’t that a bit too aggressive? After all, she’s a girl.”
“Brother Fang certainly has character. Truly a role model for us all.”
The disciples of the Pill Sect looked at Fang Lin with strange expressions; it’s one thing to hit a person, it’s another thing to hit a woman, especially a young girl as pretty as a flower. How could he be so heavy-handed?
Over at the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, upon seeing Dugu Nian being kicked away by Fang Lin, they immediately went berserk, all roaring in anger, ready to teach Fang Lin a lesson.
Had it not been for a dozen elders from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect holding them back, those disciples would have tore Fang Lin apart.
After kicking Dugu Nian, Fang Lin also realized something was not right. He had an embarrassed look on his face and wanted to help Dugu Nian up.
“Stop!” The elder from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect roared in anger, his eyes glaring coldly at Fang Lin. In his hands, he could subtly feel his inner strength building up.
An elder from the Pill Sect who was by the side noticed this and narrowed his eyes, standing next to Fang Lin without changing his expression.
“Dare to hurt my sect’s talent, this matter, my Ten-thousand Medicine Sect must reason it out properly with your Pill Sect!” The elder from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, suppressing his urge to attack, said angrily before helping Dugu Nian, who was half-kneeling on the ground, to stand up.
Fang Lin’s kick was unrestrained; if it had struck an ordinary person, they might already be dead.
Fortunately, Dugu Nian was not weak herself. Although the pain from the kick made her unable to speak, her injury was not serious.
On the platform, Chief Gu and an old man with the surname Gong watched this dramatic scene unfold.
The old man with the surname Gong glared at Chief Gu, “Chief Gu, Dugu Nian is one of the most important disciples of our Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.
Chief Gu calmly sipped his tea, “What explanation? Wasn’t it your disciple from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect who started it? Fang Lin was just defending himself. If there’s any explanation needed, it would be from your Ten-thousand Medicine Sect to my Pill Sect.”
After a pause, Chief Gu put down his teacup, his gaze sharpening, “Daring to attack my Pill Sect disciples on our own turf, your disciples are truly daring. Or do you not regard my Pill Sect highly? If you don’t offer an explanation today, I wonder how many of your Ten-thousand Medicine Sect members can leave here?”
At these words, the elders under the platform from the Pill Sect all felt a jolt of realization, grasping Chief Gu’s intentions.
This was going to break off all relations with the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.
Despite their surprise, these elders were not slackers. Led by Yan Zhengfeng, seven or eight elders quickly made their way onto the platform, subtly surrounding the old man with the surname Gong.
The rest of the elders headed towards the dozen or so elders from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.
The situation on the field was changing rapidly. The two sides who had been politely conversing just moments ago were now at each other’s throats.
Whether it’s the disciples from the Pill Sect or the Ten-thousand Medicine
Sect, they were all slightly disoriented, but soon started to act accordingly.
The disciples of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect had grave expressions, huddled together at the orders of their elders, vigilantly watching the disciples from the Pill Sect not far away.
On the other hand, the disciples of the Pill Sect slowly started to surround the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect members.
In terms of numbers, the Pill Sect had a clear advantage.
Moreover, they were on the Pill Sect’s turf. If anything happened, they could get immediate support from the Martial Sect.
If the Martial Sect got involved, then I’m afraid not many of the members from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect here would be able to leave.
Fang Lin stood atop the Pill Array, scratching his head as he looked at the tense situation around him.
He hadn’t expected that just from kicking Dugu Nian once, it would escalate to this point.
Dugu Nian was somewhat better now, but she seemingly ignored the tense situation around her, her eyes still fixed on Fang Lin.
“I want to compete with you again!” Dugu Nian insisted.
Fang Lin felt a headache coming on. Was this girl crazy? Can’t she see the current situation?
Seeing Fang Lin’s silence, Dugu Nian became impatient. Stretching out her hand, a crimson flame burst open in her palm.
“I want to compete with you in flame control! You must compete with me!” Dugu Nian stubbornly declared.
Fang Lin became irritated, “Compete? What nonsense! Do you believe that I can extinguish you right now?”
Who would’ve thought Dugu Nian wouldn’t be scared, instead she coldly replied, “If you don’t compete with me, I’ll keep pestering you.”
Dugu Nian was indeed stubborn. She had never experienced failure before, always growing up under the envious and awe-stricken gazes of others.
Being defeated by Fang Lin today was difficult for her to accept. She only wanted to defeat Fang Lin in her heart.
As for the tense situation at the moment, Dugu Nian didn’t care. She originally wasn’t from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, but had just been staying there for a short period of time.
She didn’t care about what happened with the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.
“My Dugu Family is one of the top forces in the Great Xuan Country. If anything happens to me here. hone of you from the Purnle Mist Sect will be let off the
hook.” Dugu Nian suddenly spoke out.
Upon hearing these words, Chief Gu on the platform froze.
“Dugu Nian? No wonder, you’re from the Dugu Family.” Chief Gu responded with some trepidation.
The old man with the surname Gong, who was surrounded by several elders from the Pill Sect, remained calm and composed.
“So this is how you treat your guests, Brother Gu? Today, I am here. Let’s see who dares lay a hand on me. By the way, I should inform you that before coming here, I already made an agreement with the Li Family of the Daqian. By now, the people from the Li Family are probably near the gate of your sect.” The old man with the surname Gong scoffed.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed color.
The previously aggressive Pill Sect members were now hesitant to act rashly.
While the old man with the surname Gong and the members of the
Ten-thousand Medicine Sect displayed a calm and fearless demeanor.
The mere background of Dugu Nian was already enough to intimidate the Pill Sect. With the addition of the powerful Li Family, even the Pill Sect and Martial Sect combined would be vastly inferior..
