Chapter 781: So That's How It Is

In mid-air.

Sun Zimei flipped his hand and reached out with a claw, attacking the little servant.

This little disciple had truly infuriated him...

In front of so many elders from other sects, and even elders from the upper sect, he had the audacity to be so blind.

But what he didn't expect was that while he was still in mid-air, another palm strike came at him.

It was Fan Chong who had made his move.

And his target was none other than Sun Zimei, who had just attacked.

"Ah!"

Sun Zimei was no match for Fan Chong. With a scream, he was sent flying through the air, crashing into a row of buildings.

"Elder Fan, why did you do that?"

Sun Zimei spat out blood as he got up from the ground, looking at Fan Chong and couldn't help but ask.

The sudden turn of events also aroused suspicion among the elders of the other sects.

Why did Fan Chong suddenly attack Sun Zimei?

Could it be that this little servant had some special identity?

"You don't know why?"

"You really don't know why?"

Fan Chong's pupils slightly contracted, his sharp gaze fixed on Sun Zimei.

Sun Zimei looked aggrieved.

Should he have known why?

"I... I really don't know!" Sun Zimei said with a bitter face.

"You really don't know?"

Fan Chong's gaze narrowed, and his brows furrowed.

Su Bai.

Of course, he knew.

Before he left, the ancestors from the Holy Mountain's underground palace and Elder Wang Yiyun had specifically mentioned him, aside from Yi Feng.

Yi Feng's personal little servant.

A Tenth Level True Immortal.

And judging from his master Yi Feng's strength, this little servant might even be beyond the Tenth Level True Immortal.

Fan Chong didn't care about whether he was a servant or not, but Su Bai's strength, comparable to their ancestor's, was enough to make them treat him with utmost respect.

Not to mention, this little servant might also be Yi Feng's spokesperson!

So under these circumstances.

He couldn't understand how Sun Zimei, the Grand Elder of the Hundred Refinements Sect, could be unaware of Su Bai's identity and even dare to attack him?

"Could it be that Senior Su Bai is usually very low-key, and only we know about his strength, while others think he's just a little servant?" someone next to Fan Chong couldn't help but speculate.

Fan Chong's eyes flickered.

Then he nodded.

That was indeed possible.

He no longer paid attention to Sun Zimei but instead turned his respectful gaze toward Su Bai.

He slightly bowed his head.

"Senior."

He called out respectfully.

"Oh."

Su Bai glanced at him, not paying any attention, nor caring about the mess at hand. He just continued walking away, holding a bag of peanuts.

The master was still waiting...

Su Bai's indifference didn't bother Fan Chong. On the contrary, he felt it was only natural. So he kept his head bowed, respectfully watching Su Bai leave.

However.

Fan Chong's address of "Senior" shocked the elders from the other fifty-plus sects.

Senior!

Someone who could make Elder Fan Chong from the upper sect address him as "Senior"—could this person be...?

Everyone's eyes widened.

They immediately lowered their heads, watching Su Bai leave in unison.

If their guess was correct, this little servant was likely the super expert mentioned in the messages from the elders of the Heavenly Tyrant Sect—the one who ignored the Holy Mountain's underground palace formation and captured the Heavenly Tyrant Sect's guardian beast!

This scene.

Left Sun Zimei and the other elders of the Hundred Refinements Sect utterly stunned, their jaws nearly hitting the ground.

They all stared wide-eyed, filled with disbelief.

They rubbed their eyes, afraid they might have seen wrong.

Including Fan Chong, so many elders were actually showing such respect to a little servant from their Hundred Refinements Sect?

What on earth was going on?

The only one who remained calm was probably Wang Yue, because he already knew that Su Bai possessed extraordinary strength.

He had previously speculated whether the arrival of the eighty sects, including the Heavenly Tyrant Sect, was because of Senior Su Bai.

Now it seemed... that was indeed the case!

After Su Bai left.

Fan Chong and the elders from the other fifty sects also departed, as their mission here was complete.

"This Su Bai..."

"What exactly is going on?"

Sun Zimei's heart was in complete turmoil!

So, upon returning to the Hundred Refinements Hall, he immediately summoned Jiang Zuo and Jiang You.

Because he had also noticed that all these changes had occurred after their return from the Heavenly Tyrant Sect.

So what had happened at the Heavenly Tyrant Sect was crucial.

"You're saying that when climbing the Heavenly Tyrant Sect's celestial ladder, you carried Yi Feng up, while Su Bai was able to keep up with you effortlessly?"

After some questioning, Sun Zimei asked about the situation of climbing the celestial ladder that day.

"Exactly!"

Jiang Zuo and Jiang You replied respectfully, "We still can't figure out how a mere servant disciple could do that."

"Aside from that, what else happened at the Heavenly Tyrant Sect?" Sun Zimei asked again.

"Everything else was normal, aside from climbing the celestial ladder. The only other thing was the Heavenly Tyrant Sect's attitude toward us."

Jiang Zuo and Jiang You recalled and then recounted how the Heavenly Tyrant Sect had suddenly made exceptions for them that day.

"What?"

"There was such a thing?"

Sun Zimei suddenly stood up.

His mind instantly cleared, and he had a rough idea of what was going on.

That Su Bai was a super expert!

Previously, he had been hiding in their Hundred Refinements Sect as a little servant, and no one had known.

But this time, by chance, he went to the Heavenly Tyrant Sect, and his strength was recognized.

And after the Heavenly Tyrant Sect learned of Su Bai's power, they gave Jiang Zuo and Jiang You, who had accompanied him, top-tier treatment. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why two protectors from a lower sect would receive such good treatment in an upper sect.

Then.

Other sects, upon hearing the news, immediately rushed to the Hundred Refinements Sect to offer gifts.

And when he attacked Su Bai, Fan Chong directly broke face and injured him.

Everything fit perfectly.

If you added some previous events, this matter became even more certain.

That was, some time ago, countless demonic beasts in their Hundred Refinements Sect had been hunted by a mysterious black hand.

They had been terrified of this mysterious black hand and had been searching for it all along.

Now it seemed that this mysterious black hand was Su Bai.

Because Sun Zimei also remembered that when he had taken his disciples into the mountains, he had personally seen Su Bai coming out of the mountains.

At the time, he had been puzzled as to how a servant disciple could enter the mountains and come out unscathed.

"Since Grand Elder has already guessed, I might as well speak frankly!"

Seeing this, Wang Yue, who had initially been hesitant to reveal Su Bai's strength, now decided to come clean and told Sun Zimei about how Su Bai had saved his elder brother.

"There was actually such a thing!"

Sun Zimei stood up with a serious expression.

He took a deep breath.

Because with Wang Yue's explanation, there was no room for doubt.

Su Bai.

Was a mysterious expert!

The Heavenly Tyrant Sect, as well as those dozens of sects, had all come because of him.

Who would have thought.

That within their Hundred Refinements Sect, such a powerful figure had been hiding all along.
