Chapter 911 - Confronting the Sect Masters Again

The disciples of the Universal Music Academy quickly surrounded Yuan after realizing his true identity.

Yuan sighed out loud, "I have already seen enough blood today, so I would prefer it if we can settle this peacefully. I'm only here for your Sect Master. Tell me where he is and I will leave you all alone."

However, the disciples merely laughed at him.

"Haaa…" Yuan sighed again.

"I guess we'll have to do this the hard way…"

He lifted his hand until it was around his neck before he slowly pressed his palm towards the ground.

An unfathomable pressure suddenly enveloped the area, causing all of the disciples there to fall from the sky and slamming into the ground.

[Heavenly Domain]

The disciples tried to get up afterward, but it felt like there was a real mountain on their back, forcing them to continue kissing the ground with their faces.

"This is your last chance to tell me where your Sect Master is. If I do not have an answer within the next three seconds, I will kill everyone here by turning your bodies into meat paste."

The disciples' faces immediately paled after hearing Yuan's words, and they did not doubt his words for a moment.

"One…"

"The Sect Master is currently at the Spirit Healing Academy!" More than one person there answered a second into Yuan's threat.

"Spirit Healing Academy? What's he doing there?"

"He's trying to heal his severed arm! The other Sect Masters are also there for some sort of meeting! That's all I know!"

"I see. Thank you for your cooperation." Yuan released the disciples from the Heavenly Domain and disappeared from their sight before they could even get back to their feet.

'Spirit Healing Academy… That's where Wang Xiuying is currently studying medicine. Let's give her a visit after I deal with Sun Hao.' Yuan thought to himself as she sped towards the Spirit Healing Academy.

Meanwhile, at the Spirit Healing Academy, all seven Sect Masters of the Seven Spirit Academies gathered in a meeting room.

"I can't believe it. You'd actually manage to reattach Sect Master Sun's severed arm, Sect Master Xiahou." Sect Master Li spoke in an admiring voice.

Sect Master Xiahou shook her head and said, "I was only able to do it because his arm was cleanly severed, and I was able to treat it just in time. If we'd waited even a few more hours, it would've been impossible to reattach it. With that being said, it will take many years of therapy before Sect Master Sun can use that arm properly."

"Even so, I am really thankful for your efforts, Sect Master Xiahou. I'll definitely repay this debt in the future." Sun Hao said to her with a wide smile on his face.

"Anyways, let's get on with today's topic." Sect Master Li said.

And he continued, "As you all have probably heard by now, the Gu Family have assembled over a thousand cultivators and stationed themselves around the Stairway to Heaven. I have already asked them for their reason for such actions. They told me that they were trying to capture a bandit who stole from their family without giving me any more information."

"What do you guys think?"

"Who would believe such bullshit? Nobody assembles a thousand experts for a mere bandit, much less the Gu Family, one of Seven Legacy Families." Bai Enjue sneered.

"I don't believe it either." The others expressed the same sentiment.

Sun Hao, however, remained silent about the issue.

"But if he's not there for a bandit, who— or what is he there for?"

"Do you think the Gu Family could've found a treasure?"

"They would've done something less conspicuous if they were going after a treasure."

The Sect Masters would spend many minutes discussing the issue.

Because they were dealing with one of the Seven Legacy Families, they had to be careful.

"What do you think, Sect Master Sun? You have been awfully quiet this entire time, which isn't common. If you know anything about the situation…"

"I'm not saying anything because I don't know anything," Sun Hao shook his head, and he continued, "Furthermore, whatever the Legacy Families are doing is none of our business."

"That's not true. Although the Seven Legacy Families may have more authority and status than us in general, we cannot just sit still while they could be preparing for war!" Sect Master Xiahou said.

"War? Who would dare go to war with the Gu Family? Some idiot had probably offended them to the extent where they must use such force. The thousand experts they had assembled are most likely just for show." Sun Hao snorted.

Sect Master Li narrowed his eyes at Sun Hao. He could tell that something was off about Sun Hao, but he couldn't pinpoint that something.

Suddenly, all of the Sect Masters there turned to look at the window.

"W-What's this overwhelming presence that's approaching our direction?!" Sect Master Xiahou exclaimed.

"Stay alert and prepare for battle, everyone!" Sect Master Li shouted.

A few seconds later, they could see a figure flying towards them.

"Huh? Wait a second… That's…" Bai Enjue's eyes widened with surprise when he could finally see the face of this individual.

"What's that bastard doing here?!" Sun Hao exclaimed in a shocked voice.

'Why is he here?! What happened to the Gu Family?! He should have encountered them by now!' He cried inwardly.

Yuan entered the meeting room a few moments later through one of the open windows.

"What do you want? I thought our business had already ended." Sect Master Li asked with a profound frown on his face.

"Yes, that was the case. However, one of you decided to push their luck and broke our agreement." Yuan said in a cold voice.

"I warned you. If any of you tries to harm me or my friends again, I would return and claim your lives."

"What?! Are you claiming that we'd tried to hurt your friends after what happened?! That's outrageous!" Sect Master Li exclaimed.

"That's right! Where is your proof?!" Sun Hao shouted.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at Sun Hao, who immediately swallowed nervously.

'Does he know that I had sold him to the Gu Family? No, that's impossible! Patriarch Gu wouldn't sell me out like that! Not to this bastard!' He cried inwardly.
