CHAPTER 281: MO JIAN JOINING THE DISCUSSION.

The Silent Pill Sect Master stared at the Dust Valley Sect Master for a moment before she replied.

"I’m just a humble alchemist, and I don’t understand the intricacies of fighting. I hope you can enlighten everyone." She spoke calmly.

Listening to her, everyone understood that she did not want to meddle in the discussion and a tactical retreat.

Many could not help but sneer at the Dust Valley Sect Master. What did he expect? That the Silent Pill Sect would support him?

Naive!

"Now, everyone can see that all your flowery words mean nothing." The Zhou clan master did not miss the chance to ridicule the Dust Valley Sect.

"Only an ignorant nameless sect master like you would compare a Peak Tier-3 Alchemist with a Peak Golden Core Expert."

Huh!

The Zhou clan master’s words were direct and brutal, not giving the Dust Valley Sect any face.

But the attack was far from over.

"With such weakness of mind, I can only pity the talented disciples under you. You’re not fit to be a sect master," the Silver Wei Sect Master added with disdain.

Listening to the barrage of insults coming from left and right, everyone inside the hall held their breath.

No one expected the pure, harmless banquet would turn into this. Still, many were happy. Those who had lost to the Dust Valley Sect couldn’t help but laugh at their misfortune.

After the banquet, they could foresee the rising fame of the Dust Valley Sect dragged through mud.

At the Qiu clan, Qiu Yan gnashed her teeth, clenching the hem of her robe. She wanted to speak, to tell them how ignorant they were, but she controlled the impulse.

Under the barrage of insults and disdain, the faint smile on the Dust Valley Sect Master never wavered. Even their elders and disciples were all looking at everyone as if they were fools.

Slowly, everyone realized things were not going as they had thought. Under such insults, many would have flared up, trying to defend themselves.

But, on the contrary, the Dust Valley Sect merely smiled.

The Yun clan master and Lotus Sword Sect Master exchanged glances. The Dust Valley Sect was different from their expectations.

Their mentality was something they had never seen before. Gradually, those insulting them kept quiet.

With the Dust Valley Sect smiling at them, they, in turn, looked like fools.

"Why the smile? Are you that affected that you have nothing to say?" the Liu clan master asked, his voice dripping with disgust.

"What a pathetic sect," he spat.

The Dust Valley Sect Master wanted to speak but felt his son’s hand and kept quiet.

"What we found interesting is that... with age comes wisdom. However, inside the hall we found none." Mo Jian began slowly.

His voice was not loud, but the impact of his words caused everyone to frown.

"We believe in intelligent conversation, and this was the reason my father discussed this with you. But it was disappointing..."

"Looking at various century-old people one foot in their grave, happy at other misfortunes, shows you how retarded they’ve become. They’ve wasted over a hundred years achieving nothing but killing."

Hiss!

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. They thought the Dust Valley Sect Master was arrogant, but compared to his son, his arrogance seemed tiny.

In a matter of a few seconds, he had ridiculed all the sect masters inside the grand hall without leaving anyone unscathed. Even the Yun clan and Lost Sword Sect were not spared.

What was most infuriating was his calmness and certainty in his voice. It was as if what he spoke could not be refuted.

All the ancient sect masters and clans wore ugly expressions. This had gone beyond what they could tolerate.

As if sensing their plan, Mo Jian continued, his tone calm and unhurried.

"Look around—do you see their ugly faces? This is to show you that our continent has no future. With a mere word, they are going to be killing once again."

"This shows you why we’re different. At the Dust Valley Sect, we cultivate both intelligence and power. Why would a sane, mature human be riled up by a few words after years of cultivation?"

Silence!

Those who were prepared to unleash their rage froze in place. If they acted against him, this would prove that they were retarded.

Suddenly, the atmosphere inside the hall grew complicated. Many were furious but did not know how to react.

The Qiu clan master was stunned for a moment before a bright smile crept onto his face. The Huang clan master was also smiling.

She totally agreed with Mo Jian. Why would a mere word provoke them into killing if they were sane?

Obviously, most were not sane.

Many sucked in a cold breath, trying to control their rage. Even the Yun clan and the Lotus Sword Sect Master were not pleased.

However, Mo Jian did not give a damn about them. Did they expect him to be quiet after pushing into the storm?

They must be crazy if they thought everyone would fear them. Besides, he was not even done.

"My father made a mistake, which I would like to apologize for." He began once again.

"Is he not done?" Everyone rolled their eyes.

The Dust Valley Sect Master and everyone from the sect looked at him in confusion.

Without caring about their gaze, he continued. "When my father was asking the opinion of the Silent Pill Sect Master, he thought she was intelligence inclined like him."

"Unfortunately, he was proven wrong. Being a sect master or renowned alchemist doesn’t make you wise. You can still be a retarded fool and still be a sect master."

Hiss!

Everyone looked at the Silent Pill Sect Master and saw the ugly expression on her face. She was respected throughout the continent.

This was the first time she had been ridiculed so blatantly.

However, ignoring the killing intent directed at him by the Silent Pill Sect elders and disciples, Mo Jian pressed on.

"The Silver Wei Sect Master understood the capital very well. What are the professional occupations if they are nothing but ants against his fist?"

"An ant raised to the position of power and strength would still show inherent behavior of an ant, just to please people who step on them."

"With all the power, all the knowledge, she was relegated to an ant. What a pathetic life."

Boom!

"HOW DARE YOU?"
