I held my ground and looked up in the sky again. Then, I looked back at Jun Wuchang. With both of them trying to kill me, there was the off chance that Jun Wuchang would try and use this opportunity to nick me while my master was not looking.
I took a few steps back, and the wings formed on my back.
My body hovered in the air, before I tried to shoot backwards, as far away from this place as possible.
"Where do you think you are going? There is such a good show going on here. Don't you think that you should stay and watch?" another familiar voice rang in my ears.
I felt an invisible wall block me, and I could not move. I dropped back to the ground and looked around with confusion.
"Don't worry. I am not here to kill you. I am just here to make sure that no one is stupid enough to kill you while the two bigshots up there are debating about how you will end up." the voice said. I could hear a hint of amusement from him.
"You are the person from the mysterious palace. Who are you? You know who my father is. My real one and my foster father. How do you know them?"
"Some things are better left unexplained. It is interesting to watch you young ones scramble to find all the answers then." the voice said.
I shook my head.
"Nothing else to do now."
Sighing, I just sat on the ground. I looked up at what was happening. If anything was going to happen to me, then this fight would be the one to decide it.
Clang!
Once more, the weapons collided. There seemed to be a wind that blew away all the disciples that were looking at the fight. But this wind did not reach me. Whoever was protecting me, he was also protecting me from the aftermath of the battle.
The second elder did not look like he was in great shape. He had blood coming from his mouth. Although he had blocked both blows, it was clear that master had advantage in both power, and weapon of choice.
"You should give up, elder. There is no way that you will win against me. I have long surpassed you in cultivation as well." Li Tian said.
"What? Impossible. There is no way that- How is this possible? You broke through the bottle neck? That means that you are as strong as the sect leader of the Tiandu Sect!" the second elder took a step back.
It was like he was treating the air as the ground!
He put his weapon away. "You are right. There is no way that I will be able to match you. But my goal here is to kill that vile bastard's spawn. Not go against my own sect." the second elder smiled.
The area around him darkened, and the second elder slipped into another portal. He disappeared.
Li Tian did not look around with surprise like I expected him to. He calmly looked in my direction and smiled. He leisruly approached me.
I looked around. There was no portal forming around me. So that meant that he was not near me. But he just threatened to kill me.
"Did you really think that I would be so stupid as to create a portal right next to you, boy?" I heard the old voice that I so desperate feared right next to me.
I was frightened. I darted to the right, trying to get away from this voice, but my body froze. This pressure, similar to the one that I faced during the top ten trial that the sect leader forced us through, was holding me in place.
"With this, the sect will rise up once again." the second elder chuckled.
"Not so fast, second elder. I am afraid that you will have to spend some time in isolation and contemplate what you did wrong." the person who promised to protect me till now finally appeared before me.
I could finally put a face to this voice. He was young, but not so young. He was like a man who was just past his prime. But the flawless white robes that he bore made him look like a god that descended to the earth.
"What is the Heavenly Music Pavilion doing in this matter? I thought that you did not care for the sect affairs any longer." the second elder also appeared. He was right next to me, but he did not take a step forward.
"Why don't we take this conversation else where? I do not want to fight here. There are kids here who will face quite a number of problems. Let us go to the pavilion." the white robes man said softly.
Immediately, I felt a force take me away. I could not even resist. I felt my surroundings change. I was in a courtyard of some sort. There was a lake in front of me, with lotuses filling the pool. In the middle of the pool, there was a floating sculpture of a woman with a zither in her hands.
"You are quite the audacious man, second elder. You actually wanted to kill the disciple of the sect leader right in front of him, and the rest of the sect." the white robed man chuckled.
"The disciple of the sect leader? When did this happen? The royal family will be furious!" the second elder shouted.
"Why do they need to know? Will you tell them? Should I be worried about where your loyalties lie?" Li Tian appeared next to the second elder.
"No! Of course not!" the second elder stuttered as he staggered back.
"Now then. There is still the part where I have to punish you for your offense." Li Tian smiled. He raised his hands, and a golden whirlpool emerged from his hands.
