Chapter 2296 - 2299: Challenging the Elder! The First in a Century!

"Hehe, when did I ever curse at you?"

Seeing Li Jinyuan suddenly become aggressive, Qin Tian smiled faintly.

Li Jinyuan frowned: "Still denying it? So many people heard it, you called me an old thing!"

"Did I?"

Qin Tian naturally knew the sect rules; he had cursed Li Jinyuan earlier because he couldn't hold back. These three old things clearly wanted to blame their disciples' deaths on him.

Though the deaths of Lu Tianlin and the other two did have some relation to Qin Tian, they deserved it!

If they didn't die, Qin Tian would have to die!

By then, who would Wang Tianqing turn to for justice?

"Elder Li, when did I call you a thing? You're not a thing, you're a person." Qin Tian said.

"You scoundrel!"

Mo Ziyang angrily shouted: "At this point, you still dare to curse indirectly! You're incorrigible!"

Mo Ziyang glanced at Wang Tianqing and angrily said: "Even if the chief elder is here today, right in front of him, I must announce, Qin Tian, you've violated the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's rules, now you have two choices: First, kneel and ask Elder Li Jinyuan for forgiveness. If he forgives you, this matter will not be pursued further!"

"Second, be expelled from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect directly. From now on, Xuanyuan Immortal Sect won't have a scoundrel who dishonors his masters and ancestors!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianqing's face changed.

Qin Tian violated the sect rules, he heard it. He argued: "Earlier Elder Li insulted Qin Tian, and Qin Tian impulsively retorted. Elder Ni and Guo Yunxiu can testify, it was Elder Li who provoked first."

Guo Yunxiu's master Elder Ni and Guo Yunxiu both nodded.

Qin Tian had saved Guo Yunxiu, causing the originally neutral Elder Ni to now lean towards Wang Tianqing, not to mention Wang Tianqing's words were factual from the start.

"Humph, Elder Wang, it's understandable to protect your disciple, but have you forgotten the sect rules? The rules state that no matter the situation, a disciple of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect must not insult sect elders, otherwise, they'll face serious consequences!"

Mo Ziyang stared at Wang Tianqing with a cold smile: "Now, as the elder in charge, nothing you say matters!"

Mo Ziyang's words left Wang Tianqing stunned!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, these old guys intentionally provoked Qin Tian, and then grasped this leverage against Qin Tian!

Now, Wang Tianqing felt a bit helpless.

"Qin Tian, do you kneel for forgiveness, or willingly get expelled from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect?"

Mo Ziyang stared at Qin Tian, saying: "If you kneel, and Elder Li doesn't forgive you, you'll still get expelled from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect!"

So ruthless!

Even Guo Yunxiu felt the punishment was too severe upon hearing Mo Ziyang's words.

Guo Yunxiu and Elder Ni both pleaded with Mo Ziyang, but it only angered Mo Ziyang further, resolving him to deal with Qin Tian, first expel him from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, leaving him without sect support, then find someone to fatally deal with Qin Tian!

Facing the varied gazes from everyone, Qin Tian stared at Mo Ziyang and coldly smiled: "I choose neither the first nor the second option, I choose the third option."

Swish!

Everyone was taken aback.

The third option?

There's a third option?

Wang Tianqing's brows furrowed slightly, he whispered: "The third option, could it be... is Qin Tian going to... hiss..."

Realizing something, Wang Tianqing's gaze instantly shifted to Qin Tian.

Sure enough, Qin Tian said calmly: "According to Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's rules, if a disciple feels an elder is unjust, they can publicly question the elder, challenging the unjust elder without being bound by sect rules!"

Wow!

Silence!

Inside the main hall, everyone fell silent!

After all this time, Qin Tian actually has a third option, to challenge an elder! To challenge Li Jinyuan!

According to Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's rules, Qin Tian feels Li Jinyuan is unjust, at this time, he can question and challenge Li Jinyuan. During this challenge, his words and actions aren't bound by Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's rules.

Of course, if he fails the questioning or challenge, Qin Tian will face having his martial arts abolished and being thrown out of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect!

Since Xuanyuan Immortal Sect established this elder-challenging rule, over hundreds of years, only three disciples dissatisfied with elder oppression stood up to challenge the elders.

But among the three, none succeeded; all were severely injured by the elder, their Dan Tian Qi Sea abolished, thrown out of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, like waste!

That's the cost!

Also, during the challenge, holding back is unnecessary, meaning the two can fight without a ring until one concedes!

If neither concedes, even killing the opponent isn't against the rules!

This rule has made all disciples too scared to take the risk, none dared to surpass it.

So over time, both disciples and elders have almost forgotten this rule.

Now, Qin Tian brought it up, and after recalling it, everyone instinctively stared wide-eyed.

"Junior Brother Qin Tian, you're crazy!"

Guo Yunxiu urged Qin Tian, "Quickly retract your words, admit your mistake to Elder Li!"

"Qin Tian, think it over." Wang Tianqing also said, "If you take this path, there are too many variables, as your teacher, I fear I can't help you..."

"Qin Tian, it's unnecessary..." Even Guo Yunxiu's master Elder Ni advised.

But Qin Tian remained silent, staring at Li Jinyuan!

That Elder Gao and Mo Ziyang also glanced at Li Jinyuan at this moment.

Mo Ziyang laughed: "Old Li, hehe, a disciple challenges you, in memory, you're the fourth elder of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect challenged by a disciple. The previous three elders showed no mercy, today, you must establish rules for those unruly and disobedient disciples of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect."

A disciple challenging an elder—elders can refuse the challenge.

But that's disgraceful, no one would refuse.

Thus, Li Jinyuan stared at Qin Tian, sneered: "Very well, Qin Tian, truly well!"

"You don't walk the path to heaven, but barge into the gate of hell. Since you've chosen the third road, today I'll grant you, let's see the outcome of having aspirations higher than the heavens but fate thinner than paper!"

Li Jinyuan publicly agreed: "Fine, I'll accept your challenge!"

Both Guo Yunxiu and Wang Tianqing's faces slightly changed, looking a bit stiff.

Mo Ziyang, however, laughed triumphantly and hurriedly announced:

"Good, since it's like this, Elder Li's rule-establishing battle shall be held at the Outer Disciples Martial Arts Square. I'll immediately order to notify all Inner Sect and Outer Disciples within the sect, everyone must watch! It's been over a hundred years, for a disciple to be unaware of the heights and depths challenging an elder, everyone must witness, especially all disciples, let them know the consequences of defying this sect rule!"
