BXBX NOVEL Chapter 244 A Powerful Slap
"I don’t really have anything else to say. If you want to challenge my decision, go ahead and speak with the Sect Master. However, don’t say I didn’t warn you." Elder Dai said in a casual manner before waving her hands.
"You may leave now. Ah, make sure you hand over your disciple identification token before you leave." Elder Dai said.
"I will speak with the Sect Master! Even though I am wrong for what I did, I don’t deserve such a punishment!" Elder Cheng slammed his disciple identification token on the desk before walking out.
"What about you, Disciple Wu Laohu? Do you also want to challenge my decision?" Elder Dai turned to look at him.
However, Wu Laohu shook his head and said, "I... I accept my punishment. No, please punish me."
After the horror he’d experienced today and the embarrassment he’d shown, Wu Laohu would rather stay holed up in confinement for the next couple of years, hoping that the disciples would forget him by the time he reemerges, especially Yuan, who he prays to never run into again for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, Elder Cheng left the Dispute Hall to look for the Sect Master.
"Hm? The Sect Master? He should be at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower right now with the other Sect Masters." A fellow sect elder told Elder Cheng after being asked about Long Yijun.

"I see. Thank you."
While Elder Cheng proceeded to make his way towards the tower, the disciples at the tower began whispering to each other after hearing about the fight between Wu Laohu and Yuan.
"What? Wu Laohu was defeated by a new disciple? As if I’d believe that!"
"It’s true! Look at the Power Ranking if you don’t believe me! A disciple by the name of Yuan had taken his spot and pushed everyone else down a place!"
"What?!"
Once a small commotion occurred in the place, the news eventually reached the ears of Long Yijun and the others.
’What? Disciple Yuan fought a match against Disciple Wu Laohu? How come I’m not aware of this until after the fight ended?’ Long Yijun immediately frowned.
Elder Xuan and the other high-ranking elders such as Elder Bai and Elder Xin turned to look at Long Yijun, as they were also clueless.
"Wu Laohu? Isn’t that the rumored Mad Tiger who climbed to 3rd place after spending only 2 years in the sect? A new disciple defeated someone like him? This is interesting."
The other sect masters there also had their interests piqued when they heard this news.
"Sect Master Long, do you know this Disciple Yuan who defeated the Mad Tiger?" One of them even decided to ask him.
"No... I have no idea." Long Yijun shook his head.
"If even the Sect Master doesn’t know of such a talented disciple, he must be fairly new to the sect! Hahaha! How lucky for the Dragon Essence Temple! Looks like you have picked up another rough gem!"
The guests there laughed out loud.
’You have no idea...’ Elder Xuan smiled inwardly at their statement.
Sometime later, Elder Cheng arrived at the place and approached the Long Yijun with a sweaty face.
"S-Sect Master... This disciple would like to have a word with you..." Elder Cheng bowed to Long Yijun in a respectful manner.
Long Yijun raised his eyebrows at Elder Cheng’s unexpected approach.
"Elder Cheng from the Dispute Hall, correct? What’s the matter? Why are you sweating so much?" Long Yijun asked him with raised eyebrows.
"T-This is..."
Elder Cheng’s legs trembled, feeling incredibly nervous at this moment, almost like there was someone suffocating him.
"This disciple seeks justice!" Elder Cheng managed to speak his mind by shouting out loud, even crying afterward.
This shocked the people there. What happened? Why does Elder Cheng look like a child running to his parents after being bullied?
Seeing this, Long Yijun turned to look at the other Sect Masters and said, "Please excuse me for a moment."
"Come with me." He then said to Elder Cheng before leaving the crowd to go somewhere more private.
"What happened?" Long Yijun asked him.
"T-This..."
Elder Cheng proceeded to explain how he’d wronged by forcing a match between two disciples and how Elder Dai wanted to punish him by throwing him out of the sect without mentioning Wu Laohu or Yuan’s name.
"What? Elder Dai said that?" Long Yijun couldn’t help but become surprised after listening to Elder Cheng.
Even if Elder Cheng had done exactly what he’d said, kicking him out of the sect for something like this was truly an overkill, especially if he’d worked at the sect for so many years.
However, just as Long Yijun was prepared to show Elder Cheng some pity by lowering his sentence, he suddenly recalled what the others were talking about not long ago, which immediately caused him to frown.
And in a low but cold voice, Long Yijun spoke, "Elder Cheng. Let me ask you something. What is the name of the disciple that you’d forced to fight in a match?"
"The name? I think his name was Yuan—"
Before Elder Cheng could even finish his sentence, Long Yijun roared with veins all over his forehead.
"YOU FUCKING FOOL!"
PAP!
A powerful slap suddenly flew across Elder Cheng’s face, sending him flying high into the air and towards the crowd at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower, greatly shocking them.
"What the heck?!" One of the Sect Masters there fell from his seat in a startled manner before staring at Elder Cheng’s unconscious body that had suddenly fallen from the sky and landed in front of him like a corpse!
