Chapter 758: Melee
The two fervently battling disciples from the Yunnv Sect were both High Rank Earth Level Martial Artists. To resolve their mutual attacks and subdue them in a single move, only a Heaven Level Martial Artist could achieve that. Thus, the female disciple who spoke later referred to Fang Bai as "Senior."After hearing how the two Yunnv Sect disciples addressed Luo Min, Fang Bai knew which one was the enemy and which the ally.
"I have no relation to your Elder Luo, but Jiang Yuzhi is indeed a friend of mine... May I ask how to address this young lady?"
Fang Bai slightly raised his arm, releasing the sealed acupoints of the Yunnv Sect disciple who had spoken later, smiling as he asked.
"So Senior is Sister Jiang’s friend! That’s wonderful! Oh, my name is Liu Ying! What is your esteemed name, Senior?"
Liu Ying, upon learning that Fang Bai was a friend rather than a foe, was visibly excited.
"My name is Fang Bai. Miss Liu, what happened to your ’Yunnv Sect’? Why are the disciples fighting amongst themselves?"
Fang Bai, newly arrived at the ’Yunnv Sect,’ intended first to understand the situation before deciding whether to intervene.
Liu Ying glanced around, seeing that many Yunnv Sect disciples were still fighting. Anxious to assist them, she quickly said, "Sect Master Yu went to the mundane world a while ago and hasn’t returned for over half a year. Elder Chi and Elder Zhang speculated that the Sect Leader might have fallen there. Elder Chi wanted to proclaim herself the Sect Leader, while Elder Zhang wished to release Elder Luo from the dungeon to temporarily assume the position of Sect Leader..."
Pausing with a sigh that revealed a sorrowful expression, she continued, "In recent years, Sect Master Yu has been leading the Yunnv Sect down a wicked path, causing dissatisfaction among many disciples. As a result, a good number of disciples support the kind-hearted Elder Luo to become the next Sect Leader. Elder Chi also has her own supporters. When the two sides disagreed, they started fighting... Many of my fellow sisters have already died..."
By the end of her explanation, Liu Ying was overcome with sadness, her voice turning into a low sob.
Relieved to hear that Luo Min was alive, Fang Bai said, "Where is the dungeon where Elder Luo is imprisoned? Take me to rescue her!"
"But here..."
Liu Ying gestured toward the battling factions, her voice filled with sorrow, "Our side is at a disadvantage in terms of strength and numbers..."echnique.
Fang Bai, leading Liu Ying, moved swiftly between the halls and houses scattered throughout the canyon. In a short span of a mere ten minutes or so, nearly a hundred Yunnv Sect disciples loyal to the Sect Leader and Elder Chi were subdued by him, collapsing to the ground, rendered powerless.
Even Elder Chi, who aspired to proclaim herself Sect Leader, could not escape the fate of being subdued by Fang Bai.
Other Yunnv Sect disciples, some dozens in number, quickly gathered around Elder Zhang, watching Fang Bai uncertainly.
"Senior, this is Elder Zhang. Elder Zhang and these Yunnv Sect disciples by her side support Elder Luo, just like me! Elder Zhang, Senior Fang here is Jiang Yuzhi’s friend from the secular world. He’s come to help us!"
Seeing Fang Bai’s invincible prowess and how quickly he handled Elder Chi and the others, Liu Ying was overjoyed. She led Fang Bai to Elder Zhang and the others and introduced them to each other.
"Thank you for your assistance, Senior! Now there’s hope for Elder Luo!"
Elder Zhang, seeing her equal, Elder Chi, subdued by Fang Bai in a single move, knew she was in the presence of a Heaven Level Expert and addressed him respectfully as "Senior".
Fang Bai wanted to quickly rescue Luo Min to see her condition and didn’t waste words, saying, "Elder Zhang, let’s go check on Elder Luo together!"
Elder Zhang and Luo Min were sworn sisters with a deep bond. After Luo Min was imprisoned, Elder Zhang had repeatedly pleaded for her to no avail, being consistently refused by Sect Leader Yu Meiying. Seizing the opportunity of the Sect Leader’s "disappearance," Elder Zhang wanted to rescue Luo Min, asking her to take control of the Yunnv Sect’s affairs. This had led to a fierce conflict with the faction led by Elder Chi, and if Fang Bai had not intervened in time, their situation would’ve been dire.
"Good, let’s go to the dungeon now and see how Elder Luo is doing!"
Elder Zhang left a group of her supportive disciples to guard Elder Chi and the others, while she, accompanied by Fang Bai and some trusted disciples, rushed toward the dungeon.
The Yunnv Sect’s dungeon, situated next to the Sect Leader’s palace, was originally meant to detain those disciples who had committed serious offenses. However, since Yu Meiying became the Sect Leader, any disciple who disagreed with her was imprisoned therein, leading a life devoid of light.
Under normal circumstances, unless pardoned by the Sect Leader, a Yunnv Sect disciple confined to the dungeon would never see the light of day again.
