Chapter 1577: A Warrior

This shout made many people present tremble all over and break out in cold sweat on their backs.

In the hall, low voices of discussion suddenly rang out.

"Master Fan... is he crazy? Hasn't he always been valued by Elder Xie? Why would he question the Elders' Council?"

"Yes, I heard that Elder Xie sent him on a mission not long ago. There are also rumors that he will be promoted to the Elders Council at this conference..."

"This... is simply unbelievable! How dare so many people question the Council of Elders?"

Some people found it incredible and were extremely shocked, and expressed their opinions one after another.

But some people remained silent, as if these things had nothing to do with them at all.

Pi Yangyang quietly observed everyone's reactions and memorized their expressions at that moment.

"Okay, okay! Since so many people are questioning this, I will explain why I want to accept Pei Qian into the sect!"

Xie Chang was so angry that he gasped for a few times before speaking loudly.

The whole place quickly fell silent, with hundreds of eyes staring at Xie Changsheng, whose face was ashen.

However, Pei Jinming, who was standing in the middle, remained natural and said nothing.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder!"

It seems that Protector Xiao has made up his mind and is determined to get to the bottom of everything today.

"Three years ago, the old Ninth Master passed away, and there was quite a commotion in the Jiuxuan Sect! Some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to split the Jiuxuan Sect and leave the sect! Some people wanted to take over the power alone, disregard the sect's rules, and ascend to the position of the new Ninth Master!

"During this chaotic time, the sect's property suffered great losses. Some of the sect's industries took the opportunity to leave and were transferred overseas! In just one year, the sect's operations fell into crisis.

"At this time, it was the Pei family, the most wealthy family in the northwest, who generously donated a huge sum of money to help the sect overcome the difficulties. Now, the young master of the Pei family has returned from his studies and is willing to join our Jiuxuan Sect. How can we be the ungrateful ones?"

Xie Changsheng spoke eloquently and seemed a little angry.

Many people in the audience kept nodding as they listened, obviously agreeing with what he said.

"Thank you, Elder. It's right to repay a favor. But there are other ways to repay a favor. Why do you have to accept Master Pei into the sect? After all, Jiuxuan Sect is a martial arts sect. Only warriors can enter. Can this rule be violated?"

Protector Xiao was obviously not convinced and retorted loudly.

Elder Xie was about to argue when Pei Jinming finally raised his hand to stop him.

He coughed lightly and said in a clear voice, "Originally, I should have avoided this matter, but since it has come to this, I will say a few words. What Xiao Protector said is not without reason, and your doubts are understandable. The sect should not be careless in recruiting disciples, and there should be no nepotism."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone knew that Pei Qian was his great-nephew. The fact that he was suddenly accepted into the sect must be due to his relationship.

So, everyone wanted to hear his explanation.

"Just now, Guardian Xiao said that only warriors can enter the Jiuxuan Sect. This rule was set by Old Ninth Master, so I naturally cannot violate it."

After a brief pause, Pei Jinming continued speaking slowly.

Xiao Zhilong was slightly startled, and said hesitantly: "The elder is saying that Master Pei is a warrior?"

"Since it is Guardian Xiao who has raised the question, how about you come out and verify it yourself?"

Pei Jinming said with a smile.

Everyone present looked at Pei Qian in surprise, because no matter how they looked at him, they could not tell that he was a warrior.

Not only is he young, but he is also fair and tender, and at first glance he looks like a pampered young man from a wealthy family.

Even if they have practiced, I'm afraid it's just some fancy tricks. How can they be called warriors?

Although Xiao Zhilong was somewhat suspicious, he really wanted to verify it himself, and said without hesitation: "Okay, then I will personally verify Master Pei's martial arts!"

As he spoke, he strode to the center of the hall.

Pei Qian slowly stood up, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he walked to stand in front of Xiao Zhilong, and said coldly: "Please teach me, Xiao Protector!"

Before the two men made any move, some people in the hall started talking again.

"Protector Xiao is too serious! The chief elder was just being polite, but he actually went out to test it!"

"This Master Pei doesn't look like a warrior at first glance. If Guardian Xiao hurts him, how will he explain to the Pei family?"

"I didn't expect that Xiao the Protector would be so stubborn! If he offends the Council of Elders, don't you know what the consequences will be?"

Someone shook his head and sighed, thinking of Xiao Zhilong's tragic end.

Pi Yangyang was somewhat surprised to see Pei Qian dare to accept the challenge.

He took a closer look, his heart sinking slightly, and quickly whispered to Tie Niu beside him: "Tie Niu, keep an eye on the fight later. If Protector Xiao is in danger, save him."

Tie Niu was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Is Guardian Xiao in danger?"

"Well, just be careful." Pi Yangyang confirmed his guess.

This Pei Qian is not as weak as he looks, he is indeed a warrior.

However, what he practiced should be a sinister way, so he was able to prevent his energy from leaking out, which ordinary people could not tell.

Protector Xiao is at most at the Martial King stage, or maybe even at the Hua Jin stage, so he may not be Pei Qian's opponent.

That's why he asked Tie Niu to pay attention to saving people.

Although Tie Niu had doubts, he always carried out Pi Yangyang's words without compromise.

So he quietly went around to the middle, ready to strike at any time.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Pei Qian and Protector Xiao, and no one paid attention to Tie Niu.

When Guardian Xiao saw that Pei Qian really accepted the challenge, he clasped his fists and said, "Master Pei, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his arms in a circle, and a burst of energy suddenly burst out from his body, and his clothes bulged.

Pei Qian sneered and rubbed his right hand gently.

No one noticed that there was a faint gathering of black energy in his palm, which looked very strange.

Pi Yangyang saw the whole scene.

He smiled coldly, knowing that his guess was correct. Pei Qian was indeed practicing vicious Kung Fu.

Xiao Zhilong was determined to prove that his doubts were correct, but Pei Qian wanted to kill him!

With a loud shout, Xiao Zhilong quickly crossed his feet and suddenly punched Pei Qian!

Pei Qian stood still until the fist was less than one meter away from him, then he suddenly raised his right hand and met Xiao Zhilong's fist with his palm!

The fists and palms collided with each other in an instant, making a light "pop" sound.

The two men separated as soon as they touched each other. Pei Qian retreated with his feet close to the ground, but Xiao Zhilong did not move at all.

Someone let out a low cry, thinking that Pei Qian had been repelled by Xiao Zhilong.

But before everyone could react, Pei Qian suddenly stopped his feet, flew into the air, and slapped Xiao Zhilong in the heart with a palm as fast as lightning!

With the first punch, Xiao Zhilong felt like he was hitting cotton, and all his strength disappeared without a trace.

He was surprised to see Pei Qian attacking him as fast as lightning.

He was startled and quickly punched to block, but he was a step too late.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Pei Qian's palm hit Xiao Zhilong's heart!

With a muffled groan, Xiao Zhilong left the ground with both feet, flew backwards, and flew directly to the entrance of the hall!

Pei Qian sneered, paused again, and chased after Xiao Zhiquan like a shadow!

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene!

No one expected that the quiet and gentle Pei Qian could actually repel Xiao Zhilong with just one palm!

Just when everyone thought that Xiao Zhilong was about to die at the hands of Pei Qian, a figure suddenly flew over everyone's heads and stood in front of Pei Qian as fast as lightning.

"boom!"

There was another loud explosion, and everyone in the hall felt the air stirring!
