Chapter 925 - Release Him!

Chapter 925 - Release Him!

"P-Patriarch Gu, you have a message!" The person who acquired Sect Master Li's message went to find him.

"What is it?" Patriarch Gu was immediately annoyed.

After his immense defeat and embarrassment caused by Yuan, Patriarch Gu has become easily irritable, so much so that even the slightest annoyance would cause his brows to frown and his blood to boil.

"T-The Sect Master of the Heavenly Academy has sent us a message," said the person with the talisman.

"Sect Master Li? What does he want from us? If this is about what happened recently, just ignore it." Patriarch Gu said.

"No… This is different. Although I don't understand the message, the Sect Master sounded a little nervous." The person handed the talisman to Patriarch Gu.

Patriarch Gu sucked his teeth in an annoyed manner and activated the talisman.

Sect Master Li's voice resounded in his head the next moment, "This is Sect Master Li of the Heavenly Academy. Something has happened within the Spirit Healing Academy that you should probably be aware of, considering what happened to your family recently. Elder Gu, who is the head of the Disciplinary Squad, has taken Yuan captive and is currently questioning him. You should know first hand what happens if you offend Yuan, hence this message."

"Fuck! This damn little brother of mine! Why is he messing with the one person he shouldn't mess with?! And so soon after what happened between the Gu Family and him!" Patriarch Gu tossed the talisman at the wall in an angry manner.

"I'm going to visit the Spirit Healing Academy! Hopefully, I won't be too late to save his pitiful life!"

Not daring to waste anymore time, Patriarch Gu flew towards the Spirit Healing Academy on his flying treasure.

Meanwhile, Sect Master Xiahou returned to the sect.

"S-Sect Master? What happened to the meeting?" Elder Yong was surprised to see the Sect Master return so quickly.

"Where's my disciple?!" She asked him, her appearance all messed up from the rush.

"She went to the Disciplinary Squad's headquarters after I sent you the message," he said.

"Anyways, what's this all about?"

"I don't have time to explain! Thank you for sending me the message!"

Sect Master Xiahou didn't explain any further and rushed to find Wang Xiuying.

"Looks like the Spirit Healing Academy is still intact… thankfully…" Bai Enjue said after the rest of the Sect Masters arrived at the sect.

At the Disciplinary Squad's headquarters, Wang Xiuying was arguing with the disciples working there.

"Where did you take my friend?! The Sect Master is aware of the situation, and it will only be a matter of time before she returns! If you let my friend go, I will not press charges against you!" Wang Xiuying said.

"P-Please calm down, Senior apprentice-sister Wang… We have no idea what you're talking about… What friend?" The disciples at the headquarters were completely clueless.

"Nonsense! Your leader, Elder Gu, took my friend in for questioning! I saw it with my own eyes, as did many other disciples! You won't be able to cover for them!"

"Why would we lie to you, Senior apprentice-sister Wang? It's true that Elder Gu had left with some disciples sometime ago, but they haven't returned since then, and nobody seems to know where he's gone." The disciple at the counter said, feeling an urge to cry.

"Are you serious? Then where did they take my friend?!" Wang Xiuying exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, but I wish we knew." They all shook their heads.

"Then do you know where they could've taken my friend?" Wang Xiuying did not give up and continued to pressure them.

Sometime later, Sect Master Xiahou arrived at the Disciplinary Squad's headquarters.

"Sect Master!"

All of the disciples there greeted her the moment they noticed her presence.

"M-Master! You're back!" Wang Xiuying rushed to her Master with a relieved expression on her face.

'Now that Master is here, they will have no choice but to release Yuan!'

"Master! They called my friend a spy and took him in for questioning when he did nothing wrong!" Wang Xiuying made sure to put on the most desperate and unhappy expression she could possibly make while asking for her Master's help.

"This friend of yours… Is he a young man named Yuan?" Sect Master Xiahou asked her, silently hoping to herself that Wang Xiuying had another friend besides Yuan.

"Y-You know my friend, Yuan? How do you know each— I mean, yes! My friend, Yuan, was taken by Elder Gu and the Disciplinary Squad!" Wang Xiuying nodded her head viciously.

The frown on Sect Master Xiahou's face deepened, and she immediately approached the disciples working at the front desk.

"Release him right this moment!" She said to them in an angry and demanding voice.

However, nobody there moved.

"Did you not hear me?! I will not repeat myself!" She roared, causing them to tremble in fear.

"S-Sect Master! It's not that we don't want to release him… We don't even know where he is! Elder Gu hasn't returned since he left, and there's nobody in our cells right now! You can even check for yourself!" The disciples there explained the situation to her.

"What? How is this possible?" Sect Master Xiahou frowned.

'Damn it! What the fuck are you doing, Elder Gu?! Are you trying to destroy our sect?!' She cried inwardly.

"If he's not here, then hurry up and contact him!" Sect Master Xiahou shouted after snapping out of her daze.

"W-We've tried that as well, Sect Master! Elder Gu isn't answering his communication jade slip, either!"

"FUCK!" Sect Master Xiaohou slammed her fist into the desk before her, shattering it into countless pieces, shocking everyone there, including Wang Xiuying.

"M-Master? Let's all calm down a little…" Wang Xiuying said, feeling completely baffled by her Master's outburst.

After all, Yuan was her number one idol, friend, and patient, yet she wasn't anywhere as outraged and emotional as her Master.

"CALM DOWN?! Do you have any idea who they're messing with?! That crazy monster dared to kill Sect Master Sun in front of the other Sect Masters for trying to hurt his friends! He will destroy our sect at this rate!" Sect Master Xiahou exclaimed.

"W-What…?"

Everyone there was left speechless by the Sect Master's outrageous claim.
