Chapter 328 - 325: It Doesn't Make Sense

"I'll tell you!" Gao Fei glared and said, "Many years ago, I discovered this wild ginseng, but at the time it wasn't mature enough, so I didn't pick it."

"Impossible!"

"I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either!"

"Present some evidence!"

The crowd spoke loudly.

"What I say is evidence!" Gao Fei huffed, "Hurry up and hand over the wild ginseng. Don't make me angry, or I'll make you regret it."

"That's outright robbery! Bandit behavior!"

"You're bullying us just because your cultivation is higher!"

"We'll definitely report this matter to our Sect Elders, and they will seek justice for us."

The disciples were filled with indignation, invoking the names of their Sect Elders to intimidate Gao Fei.

"I'll say it again, hand over the wild ginseng," Gao Fei said in a cold voice. "Give me the wild ginseng, and I'll let you go unharmed."

"Forget it! We would rather die than hand over the thousand-year-old wild ginseng."

"Right, definitely not handing it over!"

"If you can, then kill us."

"Our Sect Elders will avenge us."

...

Seeing how resolute the disciples from the two Sects were, Gao Fei frowned. It was already quite embarrassing to come out to rob, but to actually strike people... that was somewhat indefensible. Gao Fei had intentionally sounded vicious earlier, merely to frighten the disciples of the two Sects into obediently handing over the wild ginseng, after which everyone could go their separate ways. But now...

things had spiraled beyond Gao Fei's control.

What to do?

Actually rob by force?

He couldn't reconcile it with his conscience!

Just give up?

He couldn't bear to!

For a moment, Gao Fei didn't know what to do. When it came down to it, he wasn't cruel enough to commit truly ruthless deeds.

"Whistle!"

Just then, a long whistle came from afar.

"It's Elder Guo!" A disciple from the Floating Cloud Sect shouted with joy: "Elder Guo is here! We're saved!"

"Whistle!"

Another long whistle sounded from a distance.

"It's Elder Song!" A disciple from the Iron Sword Sect exclaimed.

"Reinforcements?" Gao Fei lifted his head and peered into the distance, only to see two figures flying towards them. One moment, the figures were a hundred yards away, the next they were right in front of everyone.

They were two old men; the one standing on the left had a dark face with no beard, was tall, and dressed in a blue robe, while the one on the right was short, his head twice the size of a normal person's with small slanted eyes, a hooked nose, a wide mouth, short arms, and short legs, garbed in red, appearing like a dwarf gourd.

"Elder Guo! You've arrived just in time!"

"Elder Song, your timing couldn't be better!"

The disciples of Floating Cloud Sect and Iron Sword Sect came forward to pay their respects.

The dark-faced, beardless Elder Guo asked with a grim expression, "What has happened?"

"It's like this…" A disciple recounted the events in detail.

"A thousand-year-old wild ginseng?" Elder Guo's eyes lit up, "Where is it? Quick, bring it out for me to see."

Elder Song, standing to the side, also opened his eyes wide; a thousand-year-old wild ginseng was a scarce treasure indeed.

A disciple from the Floating Cloud Sect took out a wild ginseng from their Storage Bag, which had a head, arms, and legs, resembling a little person.

"It's already begun to take human form, good, very good," Elder Guo exclaimed, taking the wild ginseng and caressing it fondly.

"Hand it over for me to see," Elder Song reached out to snatch it.

"Swoosh!"

Elder Guo hid the wild ginseng behind him and glared, "What are you doing! You still want to rob us by force?"

"This wild ginseng should belong to the Iron Sword Sect," said Elder Song in a deep voice.

"Nonsense! This wild ginseng was first spotted by a disciple of the Floating Cloud Sect; it rightfully belongs to us."

"Utter rubbish, it was clearly discovered first by a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect."

"Sheer nonsense."

"Hand over the wild ginseng!"

"Over my dead body."

As the argument went on, the two elders became increasingly agitated.

The disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect and the Iron Sword Sect quickly came forward to mediate, pleading with both sides until at last, they calmed the two elders down.

"Let's deal with this thorn in our side first," Elder Guo said, indicating Gao Fei, "and then we can settle our accounts."

"Agreed," Elder Song accepted the proposal.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to steal from the Floating Cloud Sect. I think you're weary of living," Elder Guo shouted at Gao Fei.

Elder Song also looked at Gao Fei unfavorably, "Commit suicide, and I'll leave you an intact corpse. If you force me to do it, your end will be miserable."

"You want to kill me?" A cold smirk formed on the corner of Gao Fei's mouth, "Just the two of you?"

"I alone am more than enough to slaughter you!" Elder Guo stepped forward, extending his right hand towards Gao Fei's head with a swiping grab. His fingers pierced through the air, emitting a "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." sound. With his cultivation at the Second Layer of the Golden Core Stage, Elder Guo was one minor level above Gao Fei. He believed he could easily defeat, if not kill, Gao Fei.

But when Gao Fei made his move, Elder Guo realized he was fatally mistaken.

Gao Fei silently recited an incantation, unleashing the First Transformation of the Heavenly Demon, instantly doubling his strength, "Get lost!" He gripped his fist and swung fiercely.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

After a muffled thud, Elder Guo was seen flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth mid-air.

"..." Elder Song was stunned.

"..." The disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect were stunned.

"..." The disciples of the Iron Sword Sect were also stunned.

Are we seeing things?

Is this a dream?

How is this possible?

Elder Guo is of the Second Layer of the Golden Core Stage, a level above Gao Fei. Logically, Elder Guo should have won. But the outcome... was Elder Guo's defeat, beaten by Gao Fei with a single move.

Inconceivable!

Unbelievable!

Absurd!

Everyone looked at Gao Fei as if he were a monster, their faces showing shock.

With just one move, Gao Fei had daunted everyone present.

The most shocked was Elder Guo; lying on the ground, he stared at Gao Fei, disbelief filling his eyes, "Impossible, impossible!!! How could I lose? My cultivation is clearly higher than his, how could I lose? This makes no sense at all!"

It must be an illusion!

Yes! It has to be an illusion!

Elder Guo shakily raised his hand, and gave himself a fierce slap across the face.

"Smack!"

A bright red handprint appeared on Elder Guo's face.

There's pain! This isn't an illusion! It really happened!

"Impossible!" Overcome with rage, Elder Guo spat out a mouthful of blood and then passed out.

"Elder Guo!"

That was when the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect snapped out of their daze, swarming around Elder Guo, shouting and calling out to him. Some pried open his mouth and stuffed several elixirs inside... After much ado, Elder Guo finally came to.
