The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 81 – Show of force?

The disciple, trembling with fear, hurriedly replied:

"The time for the major meeting is not fixed, but the hall masters who handle affairs in the main hall have a summary meeting every evening at dusk!"

In the evening, the doors of the meeting hall were tightly shut.

Brandon pushed the door open and entered, seeing the three deputy hall masters and the honorary division masters all present.

"It seems our hall really likes meetings. Why wasn't I invited to such an important one?"

Brandon's words carried a hint of amusement, but his tone was icy.

Deputy Hall Master Jia, seemingly oblivious to Brandon's attitude, smiled and said:

"Deputy Hall Master Wang, you just arrived and haven't been assigned any tasks yet, so you naturally don't need to attend this meeting."

Brandon said indifferently:

"There's no need for explanations, Deputy Hall Master Jia. I'm not here for this pointless meeting. I just want to ask, where is my attendant, Xiao Sun?"

"If someone can bring him out unharmed, I'll leave immediately and let you continue your meeting."

As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on Hall Master Zheng.

If someone was targeting him, Hall Master Zheng would undoubtedly be the prime suspect.

However, Hall Master Zheng sat with his hands crossed, leaning back in his chair, completely ignoring Brandon's gaze.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Deputy Hall Master Wang, you couldn't even keep an eye on your own attendant and now you're blaming us? Don't you think that's quite incompetent?"

Brandon turned to see a middle-aged cultivator looking at him with a mocking expression.

Though he held an honorary position, his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, indicating a relatively high status.

Brandon said indifferently:

"I've basically concluded that someone captured my attendant. Given how eager you are to speak up, are you perhaps ready to confess?"

The middle-aged cultivator sneered:

"A small cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining could encounter any number of accidents. How can you be so sure it was me?"

"And your tone, you're just a newcomer. I advise you to behave, or you might be the next one to disappear."

With that, he burst into laughter.

Brandon didn't get angry. He walked calmly to the middle-aged cultivator, saying quietly:

"If it wasn't you, how do you know so much about Xiao Sun?"

"Hand him over before I lose my temper."

The middle-aged cultivator was taken aback, a flash of displeasure crossing his eyes:

"You're threatening me..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, the next moment—

Boom—

With a dull thud, the middle-aged cultivator's head was slammed onto the meeting table, causing the entire table to collapse!

Everyone was shocked!

They all stood up, glaring at Brandon!

"Wang Chujian! What are you doing? Stop this at once!"

"You! How can you just hit people like that? This is the behavior of a demonic cultivator!"

Brandon ignored all of this, coldly staring at the middle-aged cultivator, whose head was now bleeding profusely.

The latter struggled to get up from the collapsed table, his eyes filled with rage!

"You dared to ambush me! You, a mere fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, dared to ambush me!!!"

"You're courting death!"

With that, the middle-aged cultivator's spiritual power surged, and he threw a heavy punch at Brandon!

Seeing this, the onlookers no longer tried to stop them, instead watching from the sidelines.

This newcomer was too arrogant, daring to hit even the veterans! He needed to be taught a lesson about respect and hierarchy!

But to everyone's surprise, the newcomer, facing the enraged strike of a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator, didn't dodge. Instead, he threw a punch of his own!

This action seemed utterly insane. A fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator against a sixth-level one—their spiritual power levels weren't even in the same league. How could he possibly win?

But reality proved everyone's assumptions wrong.

As the two fists collided, a thunderous boom echoed through the meeting hall. The middle-aged cultivator's hand bones shattered, and he was sent flying, crashing into the hall wall with a wretched scream.

"Ahhh! My hand!!!"

Brandon, however, remained standing calmly, unmoving.

"This! How is this possible!"

Everyone present was shocked!

Wang Chujian had managed to challenge someone of a higher level and win so easily!

Such a situation usually only occurred when disciples of major sects faced rogue cultivators!

And even then, those disciples would need to use Daoist Arts to win easily.

But Wang Chujian? He didn't seem to have used any Daoist Arts at all. How did he do it?

Regardless of the reason, Wang Chujian's status in everyone's eyes had subtly changed.

From an ignorant newcomer, he had become a formidable figure capable of challenging and defeating a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator!

Everyone guessed correctly. Without using Daoist Arts, Brandon couldn't have achieved this.

He had used a Daoist Art, but not the Fire Control Technique or the Heavenly Sword Technique. It was the Daoist art "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair."

Although he hadn't combined it with other Daoist Arts, Brandon's method of gathering spiritual power into his punch could be considered a rudimentary Daoist Art.

Since it was a Daoist Art, it could be enhanced by "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair," making Brandon's punch more than twice as powerful as a normal one.

Even though the middle-aged cultivator's cultivation was a minor level higher, he had no choice but to suffer defeat.

Brandon naturally wouldn't explain this to everyone. Instead, he walked up to the wailing middle-aged cultivator and said coldly:

"If you want to intimidate me, fine, but there's no need to involve the innocent. If you don't release him now, don't blame me for making an example out of you!"

The middle-aged cultivator's eyes were filled with fear as he looked frantically at Hall Master Zheng.

Hall Master Zheng's expression changed, and finally, he coughed lightly and said:

"Deputy Hall Master Wang, you've gone too far. How can you accuse Shi Chun of kidnapping without any evidence?"

"If you don't believe it, how about this: you can search Deputy Hall Master Shi's residence thoroughly. If you find anything, do as you wish. If not, you should let it go."

Upon hearing this, Shi Chun nodded hastily, looking at Brandon with fear:

"Yes! Go ahead and search!"

Hearing this, Brandon's heart sank slightly.

This Shi Chun was so confident, unafraid of being searched. There was only one possibility.

Xiao Sun had already been completely drained by him.

"Haha."

Brandon laughed.

He pulled out an iron sword and threw it in front of Shi Chun, sneering:

"Deputy Hall Master Shi, I think there's no need for such trouble."

"Just cut open your stomach and let me see. As long as my attendant isn't inside, I'll let it go."

At these words, Shi Chun's face immediately turned deathly pale!
