Chapter 263 - Heavenly League's New Core Member (I)
Top Floor, The Heavenly League Main Building.
Sitting on a huge round table were the Core members of the Heavenly League.
Instead of an expected jovial mood, everyone\'s expression was severe - it was as if they were sitting with their biggest enemies.
To a certain point, this was actually true.
Among the Inner Disciples, There\'s a famous saying regarding the Leagues.
\'In the World League, you walk among the brothers. In Nine Supremes, you walk among the feelings of pride. In the Jade League, you walk among the sinister fairies, and in the Heavenly League, you walk among the predators.\'
The term predators were the disciple-dubbed reference to the Core Members of the Heavenly League.
They would take control of whatever they could; they would snatch, steal or just take it - and the disciples wouldn\'t even dare to say anything.
This was why the status of a Core Member of the Heavenly League had a very intimidating effect on anyone in the sect.
And today, all of these disciples, with pride as great as the heavens, and cultivation base among the peak of the sect, were sitting together at one table.
The atmosphere was intense, and everyone said that they didn\'t wish to come here.
But did they have any choice?
It was Yuan Shuchun who had called them.
The only disciple in the sect who could put a leash on them.
And if she said they had to be here, they HAD to be here.
*creak*
Just then, the door at the end of the table opened.
And a disciple stepped inside.
The facial muscles of everyone else in the room twitched a bit.
This was a disciple they didn\'t wish to meet.
And also the reason why their mood was pretty bad right now.
"Ah, still two seats remaining - glad I am not the last one to arrive - haha."
His voice was quite calm - not at all intimidated by the intense stares coming from the table.
He moved forward and took the seat right beside the main seat.
Now, only the main and the seat left to it were empty.
The disciple looked at the other members one by one and said, "Ah, looks like Senior Brother Shu Xian isn\'t here yet."
No one replied, but it didn\'t affect the disciple. He wasn\'t expecting any reply.
He just smiled and leaned back on his chair, relaxing.
"You don\'t deserve to sit there." It was at this time one of the other members couldn\'t hold himself back and called out.
His tone was filled with disdain and anger.
The smile on the disciple\'s face widened a bit, "SEnior Brother Chi, many might agree with your opinion, but I am pretty sure you\'re not the one to call the shots here."
"Well, what about me then?" Another voice rang through the hall. It came from the outside.
All of them turned towards the outdoors as another disciple entered the meeting hall.
Everyone except that disciple\'s expression relaxed a bit as they stood up and cupped their fists.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Shu Xian."
Shu Xian nodded his head and moved towards the table.
Taking the seat right in front of that disciple, he said, "Quite bold of you to not stand up? Do you think everyone here is having fun?"
The disciple gave a blank stare for a moment, and in the next instant, his expression turned into that of a shock.
"Senior Brother Shu! Wow! As always, I was awed by you!" The disciple exclaimed.
Shu Xian, however, wasn\'t affected by this, "Lower your charade. YOu might have received a place on this table, but that doesn\'t mean you can overstep your limits."
"Let me remind you what I once said - no one in this room is equal, even though the title we hold is basically the same. Only your strength has volume, and that makes you the lowest among our ranks."
The disciple smirked, "What makes you think that?"
Shu Xian narrowed his eyes, "Your arrogance will come and bite you soon."
"I can say the same for you." The disciple didn\'t hold back.
Shu Xian, didn\'t react in anger.
He smiled, "We will see that, but first, you need to take care of yourself - it won\'t be long before you\'re kicked out of this room, but don\'t worry, I will make sure that you will never get a chance to come back."
The disciple couldn\'t help but laugh, "Shu Xian, oh Shu Xian. You\'re good. Your threats are good. However, I would repeat the same thing I said back then. Be careful of what you say, and always keep an eye on your back - you never know when my kick comes straight on your face."
Shu Xian narrowed his eyes.
"Senior Brother, just give me an order. I will beat the shit out of this kid." A member beside that disciple said.
The disciple had his fists clenched, and his voice was filled with anger.
Shu Xian gave a slight nod.
ANd in the next instant, the member moved!
He first hurdle straight towards the disciple beside him, and it struck right in his chest!
*Paak*
*bang*
The disciple was thrown in the wall.
Landing straight with his back, the disciple slowly got up.
The member cracked his neck while saying, "You still want to have that attitude?"
The disciple didn\'t say anything.
He took a step forward.
And in the next instant, he disappeared!
Before the Core member of the Heavenly League could understand what was going on, he suddenly felt his hair get pulled as his whole body moved in a backward projectile in a back force.
And before he could even gauge the intense pain, he suddenly felt his body get slammed right into the table!
*Boom!*
*Crack!*
The body slam broke the table into two!
Everyone else stood in shock!
Shu Xian was first to react. Intense killing intent filled his eyes, "you dare!"
The disciple just smirked and threw the member he had just slammed towards Shu Xian.
And before Shu Xian could avoid the incoming unconscious body, the disciple sent a kick!
"Xiao Ming, STOP!" A shock-filled voice rang in the hall.
