Chapter 203: Flabbergasted

'What the hell do they want now?' Wei Jun was in a very bad mood and sitting in a helicopter, looking outside while also having a little wish to throw the people who came to fetch him from his workplace, out from the helicopter.But he had no choice but to keep his wishes in his heart because one of them was an elder and although she wasn't very old, she was strong enough for Wei Jun to know he stood no chance against her.

He wasn't informed why they were there to get him or what this was all about. He was just told to change on the way, in the helicopter because the helicopter won't be landing at the foot of the mountain.

After four hours of travel, they arrived on an island surrounded by clouds at the peak. Wei Jun was once again reminded of Jeju island but the only difference was that Jeju didn't have a giant mountain peak that went all the way above the clouds.

Wei Jun changed in the helicopter without shame and even the elder was a little impressed that Wei Jun wasn't self-conscious about anything about his body. Wei Jun's body was perfect from every angle and the elder couldn't help but admire the perfect body in front of her.

Of course, there was no lust in her eyes. She only noticed the fact that Wei Jun had a very good and muscular body for a cultivator of such a low level.

As they arrived closer to the island, the elder said in her mesmerizing voice, "When we appear in the court, only answer when you're asked something."

"What court?" Wei Jun asked.

The elder didn't speak but instead just stared at him. It was her way of telling him that he wasn't given permission to speak, let alone ask anything.

Wei Jun remained quiet and the rest of the journey was done in a few minutes as the helicopter landed in the middle of the core disciple courtyard. Wei Jun was surprised that the helicopter that looked simple could come up to this height but since he was unfamiliar with it, he decided to examine it later.

A helicopter that could come this high up was unique and Wei Jun wanted one.

Wei Jun was guided to the palace that was beyond the core disciple courtyard. He appeared in another courtyard and it didn't look like it was the last one. Wei Jun suspected there to be another courtyard behind this one.

After going through that courtyard as well, Wei Jun was proven right when he appeared in another one but he was sure this one was the last one because the palace after this courtyard was one unlike any of the palaces before.

This palace was the palace of the king.

[The sect master]

[Makes me wonder why you're brought up here]

Wei Jun didn't say anything to that but he was also intrigued why he was brought there. If it was any other place, he was sure he could have speculated but he had nothing to do with the sect master and the way he was being brought up was like a criminal.

He was sure he hadn't done anything to damage the sect yet.

[Yet?]

'Shut up.' Wei Jun said and then turned to the elder who was bringing him in front and asked, "Permission to speak."

"Granted." The elder permitted to which Wei Jun asked, "How should I address the sect master?" seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You will address him as so, the 'Esteemed Sect master'." The elder replied.

Wei Jun nodded and asked, "Permission again?"

"Speak." The elder said.

"Anything I need to keep in mind when I am in the presence of the sect master?" Wei Jun asked.

"When in his presence, you obey him and only him. No elder, no friend, no senior, or anyone else matters in his presence. You answer to him and only him. Even if an elder asks you something, you keep your mouth shut and wait for the sect master to speak." The elder gave a detailed reply.

Wei Jun nodded and didn't ask anything further.

The elder who was guiding him stopped in front of a luxurious door and said, "Be on your best behavior."

Wei Jun nodded and entered after the elder. The elder moved to the side and said, "Go and stand in the middle of the platform."

Wei Jun did so and when he made his way to the raised platform in the middle of the giant hall.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "So it was your doing, my wife."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "When you falsely accuse me of something, husband. I have to fight for my honor."

Wei Jun smirked but he didn't say anything about that. Instead, he asked, "Do you think you will get any justice here?"

"I'm optimistic." Liu Yu said.

"Well, I'm sure your optimism has nothing to do with Ju Bai Lu." Wei Jun said.

Wei Jun knew the weight behind his implications. And Wei Jun wasn't stupid enough to forget such a scenario where Liu Yu could prove her innocence. In that scenario, Wei Jun also prepared himself.

And that was nothing else than the scapegoat.

Well, technically, it wasn't a scapegoat. It was a fact that everyone knew. The only problem was that not everyone knew how to say the right words to rile everyone up.

Wei Jun, however, was an expert at starting fires. Whether metaphorical or real.

It wasn't long before the hall was filled with the elders in their respective stands. One of those elders was Elder Zhiang who didn't look so good. There was evident shame on his face.

Wei Jun knew what that look meant. Liu Yu was going behind his back and colluding with the opposite side and now that that fact was out, his place in his faction was a little shaken. It also meant that there was a chance for him to join the other side so Sun Ruan and others hadn't given him a hard time about it.

Or at least that was what Wei Jun speculated. The real situation could be something entirely else.

Wei Jun remained quiet because he would rather not say anything that could be used against him in a room full of people who had acute hearing, thanks to their Qi and their undivided attention to him as well.

"No comment, husband?" Liu Yu sarcastically asked.

Wei Jun turned to her and just smiled and mouthed the words, 'How's your office and car?'

The smile on Liu Yu's face instantly disappeared when she came to know of the fact that Wei Jun knew. She suppressed the rising fury in her heart and said, "So it was you?"

"I wonder." Wei Jun said.

Liu Yu also knew what saying anything unnecessary meant there so she also kept her mouth shut.

It wasn't long before the hall was full but just one chair was empty. In the hall, there were only elder seats and a standing area for the core disciples.

Wei Jun spotted a few familiar faces in there. Mainly Lin Ruan, Ju Bai Lu, and his maid who was very happy giving him special services for the short time she served him.

All the seats were taken except for the one in the middle one which was unspeakably for a king.

And soon after, the King showed up.

Dressed in the same white robes as the rest of the people in the hall, with only a golden sash around his neck being the difference, he sat down on the middle throne.

Tall, black-haired, and from the looks of it, somewhere in his early fifties. That was the simplest description of the man who was also the sect master of the Cloud Tempest sect.

Wei Jun suspected his age to be a lot higher but he still looked like he was someone still in his early fifties.

According to the data Wei Jun had on the sect master, the sect master was supposed to be a grandmaster realm Qi cultivator who was just beginning his journey into the middle ranks of the grandmaster realm.

[I, for one, can tell you that is not the case]

'What do you mean?' Wei Jun asked.

[This man has gone through body reformation]

'Body reformation?' Wei Jun asked.

[Body reformation is as it sounds]

[The reformation of the entire body]

[Any flaws in the body are removed upon the procedure]

[You become the perfect human possible]

[All perfections]

[No flaws]

Wei Jun found something strange in that explanation. The system was explaining that as if the process of body reformation couldn't be conducted in the grandmaster realm.

[It cannot be]

'Then when?' Wei Jun asked.

[At the Qi saint realm]

'Isn't that?' Wei Jun asked.

[Precisely]

'So he's…' Wei Jun was about to ask when the system interrupted.

[No, he isn't]

'Then?' Wei Jun asked.

[See for yourself]

[Qi Demon realm]

[Strength: 841]

[Agility: 1091]

[Stamina: 890]

[Qi: 3977]

Wei Jun's eyes widened to their limit when he saw the stats of the man who claimed to be the sect master.

And the worst part that couldn't even widen his eyes anymore was what the system said next.

[Those are his stats without Qi empowerment activated]
