Chapter 306 Elders' Conflict



The air in there was tense, thick, with a palpable sense of anger and hostility. Elder Winston and Elder Ethan were engaged in a heated argument, their voices raised as they exchanged sharp words. 

Elder Winston seemed to be trying to calm the situation. His tone strained as he spoke to Elder Ethan. "So, what do you want us to do now?" he asked, his voice laced with frustration and annoyance.

Elder Ethan, however, was not so easily pacified. Glaring at Elder Winston, he spoke menacingly. "It's easy," he said. "Just tell him to hand over all his treasures to us." It was clear that Elder Ethan had no intention of backing down, and his words only served to further inflame the situation.

Elder Winston's eyes widened in disbelief at Elder Ethan's brazen suggestion. "How dare you say it like that?" he said, his voice rising in anger. 

But then, to Orion's surprise, other elders began to gather around them, nodding in agreement with Elder Ethan's demands. "He's right, Elder Winston," Elder Matt from the Terra Nova sect chimed in. "Your disciple has taken too much, and he's also been beating up our disciples. It's time to put a stop to this."

Orion felt a wave of anger wash over him as he listened to Elder Matt's accusations. "Your disciples are messing with me," he said, his voice rising in frustration. "I am only teaching them a lesson for you. They deserve it."

The tension in there was palpable as Elder Winston smiled at Orion's response. "Your disciples are also too weak to lose to my disciples, and also haven't we agreed earlier that the strong can take whatever they want?" he said, trying to reason with the others.

But Elder Matt was not having any of it. "That may be true, but what Orion did was excessive," he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You need to rein him in before things get out of hand."

Orion felt his anger rising at the accusation. "I did what I had to do," he said, his voice firm and resolute. "Your disciples were asking for it. They need to learn to respect their betters."

Suddenly, Elder Ethan's rage boiled over, and he could no longer be reasoned with. "Not only did you take all the treasures and beat our disciples, but you have to die," he said, his voice filled with fury as he threatened to kill Orion.

Elder Ethan's words hung heavy in the air. Without a moment's hesitation, Elder Ethan channelled his Qi and covered his hand in a fire, preparing to strike Orion down.

But before he could make a move, Elder Winston stepped in, blocking Elder Ethan's attack. "How dare you try to kill the disciple from our sect?" he scolded Elder Ethan, his own Qi surging to life as he prepared to defend Orion.

Elder Ethan's eyes narrowed as he saw his attack being blocked by Elder Winston. "Let me tell you, Elder Winston, your disciple, Orion will die today," he said, his voice laced with anger. "He is too dangerous to be left alone."

Elder Winston only laughed in response, his eyes filled with amusement. "To think that an Elder from the Blazing Sun sect is afraid of a young disciple," he said, shaking his head in disbelief. "You're the one who's dangerous, Ethan. You're letting your anger control you."

Ethan's face turned red with fury at Elder Winston's words, his hands balling into fists. "You don't know what he's capable of," he spat out, his voice rising in anger. "He can easily defeat the disciples from my sect, so he is dangerous."

Elder Winston remained calm, his expression steady. "That means he's a diamond for our sect," he replied, his voice even. "I cannot let you kill him. He has too much potential."

Ethan's anger only grew at Elder Winston's words. "You're a fool, Winston," he snarled, his voice low and menacing. "You're letting sentiment cloud your judgment. Orion is a threat, and he needs to be dealt with."

Elder Winston shook his head. "You're the one who's letting your emotions get the best of you," he said his tone firm. "Orion has done nothing wrong. He's simply proving himself to be a valuable asset to our sect."

Elder Ethan sneered at Elder Winston. "Valuable asset? More like a ticking time bomb," he retorted. "Mark my words, if we don't deal with him now, he will cause trouble for us in the future."

Elder Winston remained steadfast. "I have faith in Orion's abilities and his loyalty to our sect," he replied calmly. "He has proven himself time and time again. Your fear of him is unwarranted."

But before the two Elders could continue their argument, Elder Ethan suddenly shouted, "Elder Matt, do it now!" The air crackled with energy as a third Elder, Matt, appeared from the shadows.

Elder Winston's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing, Ethan?" he demanded.

Elder Ethan smirked. "Just taking matters into my own hands," he replied, his voice dripping with malice. "Matt, take out Orion. Now."

Elder Winston bristled at the command. "I won't let you harm our disciple," he declared, his stance defensive.

But before he could even move to protect Orion, Elder Matt had already rushed towards the young disciple, his sword glinting in the dim light. Orion reacted quickly, drawing his own sword to defend himself.

Elder Ethan watched the scene unfold with satisfaction, his eyes glittering with malice. "Finally, we can get rid of this troublesome disciple," he muttered to himself.

ραпdαn૦νel Elder Winston gritted his teeth, his fists clenching in anger. He knew he had to act fast to stop Elder Matt from harming Orion. With lightning-fast reflexes, he darted forward to intercept Elder Matt's attack.

Elder Ethan gloated at the downfall of Orion, who had previously dominated the Ruin Space. Elder Matt attacked Orion with his sword, but Elder Winston quickly intervened, intercepting the attack. Elder Ethan watched the scene unfold with malice, pleased that they were finally getting rid of the troublesome disciple.
