The junior brother was utterly confused will all this. And he had many reasons for that too.
Firstly, his senior brother had basically blown up the refinement hall. Then he had gotten them out of it without permission. And now they were here meeting a Dao Treading realm cultivator who could easily be a supreme elder in the sect.
All of it was greatly confusing for him, and he didn't know what to make of it.
For now, he just decided to watch his elder brother and continue to watch, hoping that his mind would calm down somehow.
"Senior Yulong, are all of them here?" The elder brother asked.
"Only a handful are left. They should be here soon… and if not, we have no choice but to leave." Yulong replied.
"I see… but aren't we a little early? I thought your information said it would take a week more." The elder brother asked.
"Yeah, we were surprised too senior." The others chimed in as well.
"You are not alone." Yulong spoke, much to their shock. "I was caught off guard too."
"WHAT!?" The people here exclaimed.
"How is that possible?" The elder brother asked.
"Well… I was originally supposed to initiate this. But…" Yulong took a pause and took out a large jade slip.
~shua~
The jade slip activated and a stream of runes came out of it. The runes all joined together and formed into a formation that transformed into a screen. A second later, several scenes appeared on this screen.
"Instead of me… an unexpected person has taken the chance." Yulong stated.
The disciples all looked at the screen and were shocked to hell.
"Who… what… are they?" The disciples could barely speak.
On the screen, they could see two beings. One man and one beast. The man had a golden sheen on his body and tens of spirit weapons flew around him.
The beast on the other hand was massive and was covered with flames. Its true figure couldn't be seen, but with every swipe of his claws, large fire balls shot out, burning and destroying everything in their path.
The disciples watched as the man in the screen, was intercepted by other elders.
"Isn't that the Supreme elder and the first and second high elders!?" The disciples identified.
But what they saw only flipped their understanding of the world. The man with the golden sheen on his body, who should have been suppressed and killed with ease, beat up the elders.
His golden fists were like hammers that pulverized their flesh and bone, leaving them crying out for mercy. But the cold look on the man's face only terrified them even more.
"EEEK!" A few disciples screamed as they saw an unbelievable scene.
"The Supreme elder is dead?" They saw as the man with the golden fists knocked the supreme elder's head clean off with a punch whose power was unfathomable.
And just as they saw this, an explosion was heard outside.
~KABOOM!~
~RUMBLE~
"AAAH!" The disciples were startled as they saw the corner of the residence being blown off.
In response to this, Yulong flipped his free hand and threw out three talismans that quickly formed a triangular barrier around them.
But with the part of the residence destroyed, the disciples could see the scene outside. And what they saw there almost made them faint.
"A head?"
"No… that's the supreme elder's head!"
Lying close to the residence was nothing but the supreme elder's head, which they had just seen getting punched off from his neck.
~ROAR!!!~
A thunderous roar shook the sect as a crushing spirit Qi pressure was released.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
Several of the weaker disciples were unable to bear it and directly fell to their knees.
"UGH!" The junior brother gritted his teeth, but still managed to hold on.
"Dao treading realm?" The elder brother gazed at the screen and saw that the roar had come from none other than the beast.
"Seems like my information was a bit wrong…" Yulong spoke before a smile appeared on his face. "It is even better than I imagined, AHAHAHA!" he suddenly burst out laughing.
The disciples were far too terrified upon hearing that it was a Dao treading realm beast wreaking havoc on the sect rather than be confused by Yulong's actions.
"Senior… we need to leave. We won't survive in the collateral damage!" The elder brother said hurriedly.
"No…" but much to his disbelieving, Yulong denied.
"What? WHY?!" The elder brother questioned in doubt.
The others who were also coming to terms were confused as well.
"Why can't we leave? We'll only die if we stay here." The others spoke.
"Ahahaha! You all don't understand. Now that he is here… this is the safest place. If you try to leave the sect you'll be killed before you even step in the outer court." Yulong said.
"How can that be? Wasn't our goal to leave in the first place?"
"YES! Senior, you promised us that you will help us escape the sect!" the female disciples pleaded.
"That was indeed the case before… but look," Yulong pointed to the screen.
The eyes of the disciples stared as the scene on it changed. Now they saw droves of disciples trying to run out. But just as they reached the border of the outer court, they were all ignited!
The small flames that were burning on the periphery and looked rather unassuaged suddenly blazed and grew into a wall, burning everyone that passed through it.
"A formation?" Someone wondered.
"No… that is pure skill." One of the Nascent soul disciples spoke in shock.
"Indeed… with that man and beast here, our goals are already fulfilled. Now we just have to stay put and wait for him to save us." Yulong stated.
"Save us!?" Everyone was confused after hearing it.
"Indeed." Yulong nodded his head.
"Who is he?" the elder brother couldn't help but questions.
"He is the one who destroyed the West ocean sect and the Ripple mist sect. He is the alliance leader of The Long cloud Alliance; LIN MU!"
