Chapter 2845: Exile to the Absolute Heaven Barrier!

Soon, a piece of news spread like wildfire.

Left Dust Grandmaster's new disciple, Fifth-Rank Heavenly Alchemist Ye Yuan, said he would exile several hundred sect disciples to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.

As soon as the news broke, it immediately drew sneers and mockery.

"Who does he think he is? How can he say such overreaching words?"

"Heh, he's got a remarkable master now, so it's understandable."

"Wow, if he really exiles them, what's next? Should we go to Xuanyang Peak and suck up to this grand-teacher?"

"Left Dust Ancestor is so wise—how did he take on a greenhorn as a disciple?"

…

In less than half a day, the rumor had swept through the entire Extreme Medicine Sect.

Though the Extreme Medicine Sect was vast, news traveled fast.

In the Extreme Medicine Sect, going to the Absolute Heaven Barrier was a taboo.

After all, no one wanted their disciples to go to the front lines and die.

Of course, nearly half of the sect's disciples were at the Absolute Heaven Barrier resisting the Blood Clan.

But most of those sent to the Absolute Heaven Barrier were from the war faction, while those who stayed at the sect were mostly from the conservative faction.

Left Dust, for instance, was a typical war faction member.

Seventy percent of his disciples were at the Absolute Heaven Barrier.

Thus, though Xuanyang Peak was large, it had few people.

The conservative faction's stance was not to avoid battle, but to cultivate many strong warriors within the sect and accumulate strength.

In recent years, the Extreme Medicine Sect had strengthened martial arts training and indeed produced a large number of Emperor-level experts.

As a result, the conservative faction's position became even more solid.

So, Ye Yuan's plan to exile these people actually touched the conservative faction's interests, and they naturally wouldn't let him succeed.

Many Emperor-level experts also heard the news and dismissed it with contempt.

A wet-behind-the-ears kid thought he could dominate the sect just by joining?

Ridiculous!

Left Dust, how could he take such a fool as a disciple?

The news was buzzing, and Wu Jiang and Zhou Qun looked smug.

"Zhou Shishu's skill is truly remarkable! In just half a day, our grand-teacher has become the laughingstock of the entire sect!" Qian Nan flattered.

Zhou Qun said smugly, "A small matter! But the news spread so fast—it's not just my doing. Someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes!"

Wu Jiang nodded and said, "That old thing Left Dust keeps clamoring for sect disciples to go to the front lines and die—so stubborn! This kid seems to have inherited that trait! But thanks to him, that old geezer Left Dust is about to lose face big time!"

With that, Wu Jiang was quite pleased.

His tone showed no respect for Left Dust, his grand-teacher.

In fact, they deeply disliked Left Dust, even loathed him.

Behind his back, they often badmouthed the war faction.

Moreover, Zhou Qun clearly didn't have the power to spread the news so fast.

Emperor-level experts were behind it, fanning the flames.

Obviously, some were happy to see Left Dust suffer.

"Serves him right! That old Left Dust keeps shouting for us to go to the Absolute Heaven Barrier. Countless people in the sect hate him and wish he'd die there! This time, we'll just watch the show!" Zhou Qun said disdainfully.

Wu Jiang laughed, "That kid is ridiculous. Does he really think high seniority can cover the sky with one hand? In the Extreme Medicine Sect, there are plenty stronger than Left Dust! By the way, Zhou Qun, who do you think pushed us from behind this time?"

Zhou Qun smiled, "Asking me? Don't you know? Who else could it be but that one?"

Wu Jiang laughed heartily, "That old ghost Left Dust has tried several times to drag Qinshan Emperor down, and Qinshan Emperor has long hated him. Besides him, there's no one else! After this, Ye Yuan's days in the sect won't be easy. Maybe Qinshan Emperor will find a reason to send that kid straight to the Absolute Heaven Barrier."

Bang!

As they were laughing, the door was kicked open, and a young man with a shoulder patch walked straight in.

Wu Jiang was about to flare up, but when he saw the visitor, he gasped.

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Ling... Ling Senior Brother graces us with your presence. What orders do you have?" Wu Jiang said with a grim face.

The visitor, named Ling Jiang, was a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Law Enforcement Hall disciples held great authority, and Ling Jiang was in charge of disciples below the True Emperor Heaven in the nearby training grounds.

Ling Jiang's arrival at this time probably meant trouble.

Could it be that Ye Yuan, knowing his boast had backfired, had moved the Law Enforcement Hall to deal with him?

Even now, he didn't believe Ye Yuan could exile them all to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.

Such a large-scale action would surely face unanimous opposition from the conservative faction.

Previously, some war faction members had tried this, only to be rebuffed.

Ling Jiang said coldly, "Wu Jiang, take your people to Xinyou Peak and set off immediately for the Absolute Heaven Barrier!"

The three present changed color dramatically, their eyes full of shock.

How was this possible?

That kid actually did it?

Didn't those Emperor-level experts intervene?

Were the conservatives just going to watch the war faction gloat?

"I... I want to see Shishu Yunhai!" Wu Jiang gritted his teeth.

Zheng Yunhai, an Emperor-level expert, was Wu Jiang's backer.

Surely he would protect him at a time like this!

But Ling Jiang remained cold, "No need. Don't harbor false hopes. This order came directly from the Sect Master himself. No one can save you!"

"What! The... the Sect Master?" Wu Jiang doubted his ears, his eyes full of shock.

How could the supreme Sect Master bother with such a trivial matter?

Impossible!

But Wu Jiang knew Ling Jiang wouldn't joke about this.

No one dared to joke like that!

Though the Sect Master wasn't the highest authority, the Dominance Realm and the Aurora Pavilion rarely interfered.

Under normal circumstances, the Sect Master was the supreme arbiter of the Extreme Medicine Sect!

No one dared to challenge his authority!

Ling Jiang said coldly, "Wu Jiang, move quickly. You have only half an hour. If you delay, you won't need to go at all!"

With that, Ling Jiang turned and left.

He didn't need to watch Wu Jiang; no one dared to defy the Law Enforcement Hall's orders.

Otherwise, the consequences would be far worse than going to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.

Wu Jiang's heart was ashen. They weren't giving him any chance!

But why was this happening?

"He... he actually did it? But why the Sect Master?" Wu Jiang said in despair.

He had spread the news far and wide, hoping to slap Ye Yuan and Left Dust in the face.

Slapping an Emperor-level expert's face was still a thrilling thought.

But now, with the matter blown up, he was the one being slapped?

Beside him, Zhou Qun's face was equally grim.

A chill ran down his spine; he seemed to have provoked someone formidable.

He hadn't been named, meaning he had escaped this time.

But if someone investigated, they could trace the rumor back to him.

Right now, he just wanted to become invisible.
