<strong>Chapter 812: Chapter 814: Still Considered Righteous</strong>


    Yang Fang watched as Zhang Linping automatically ignored him, naturally feeling a bit angry in his heart. His arm was dislocated, not actually broken, and he could reset the dislocation by himself.


    So taking advantage of their duel, Yang Fang endured the pain and reset his arm.


    Chu Ge was at the Mid-stage Innate Grandmaster level, while Zhang Linping was only at the Perfect Innate level, not yet breaking through to the Innate Grandmaster, showing a gap between the two with each move.


    However, Chu Ge did not directly knock Zhang Linping down but dyed, buying time for Lin Dong on the other side.


    Zhang Linping quickly noticed this, realized that Chu Ge was dying, and angrily red at Chu Ge, saying: “Humph, Chu Ge, don’t project your vile thoughts onto me. That child and woman are of no use to me anymore, I naturally won’t do anything to them, as this concerns our Sunflower Sect’s reputation!”


    Chu Ge was somewhat surprised, though he expected them to care about the Sunflower Sect’s reputation, he didn’t expect Zhang Linping to openly admit it, regarding them as just another set of bandits like the ck Witch Sect.


    After all, he initially thought they had only sent four people and assumed one of them was left in the vi by Zhang Linping.


    Chu Ge turned around and saw Huo Tianqian surrounded by two people.


    Yang Fang, having reset his arm by himself, sought revenge on Huo Tianqian first.


    Being an Innate Martial Artist, he naturally immediately recognized Huo Tianqian was at a Late Stage and felt great resentment at being dislocated by someone at a lower stage.


    Huo Tianqian was struggling greatly in his fight, so Chu Ge decided not to continue entangling with Zhang Linping.


    He slowly rose into the air and said to Zhang Linping, “Since you’re so eager for a swift resolution, then I’ll grant it. Today, I’ll show you the might of an Innate Grandmaster.”


    Chu Ge’s words stunned Zhang Linpingpletely. What did he just say? Did Chu Ge just say he is an Innate Grandmaster?


    How is that possible?


    Thinking about the probing from Chu Ge earlier, Zhang Linping thought Chu Ge was at Late Innate or at the Perfect Innate stage. But he hadn’t realized Chu Ge had been hiding his strength all along!


    Zhang Linping felt humiliated, ring furiously at Chu Ge, “Chu Ge, today either you die, or I perish!”


    Chu Ge shook his head with mild exasperation and said leisurely, “You seem to have forgotten your true purpose foring here.”


    Startled, Zhang Linping looked at Chu Ge suspiciously, but quickly realized, yes, he came for the Jade te and Jade Buddha, why is he directly fighting with Chu Ge?


    No! He must stay rational! He can’t act impulsively!


    With thoughts racing, Zhang Linping’s anger slightly subsided.


    Yet Chu Ge was of Innate Grandmaster level, no matter how hard he tried, Zhang Linping couldn’t defeat him.


    “Chu Ge, I underestimated you this time. Next time, I won’t let you off!” Zhang Linping retreated three meters and shouted to the two on the other side, “We withdraw!”


    Yang Fang saw he was about to defeat Huo Tianqian and wouldn’t heed Zhang Linping’smand; he only continued tounch more ferocious attacks, forcing Huo Tianqian into retreat.


    Zhang Linping nced at Yang Fang, feeling somewhat angry, “Yang Fang, are you not listening to what I’m saying now?”


    Yang Fang couldn’t hear him, consumed with the desire for revenge, wanting nothing more than to defeat Huo Tianqian to regain some face.


    Chu Ge noticed that Yang Fang’s every move revealed his intent to kill Huo Tianqian.


    He raised his hand, releasing a surge of True Qi from his palm, which transformed into several sharp swords midflight, shooting straight toward Yang Fang.


    Faced with the sudden sharp swords, Yang Fang couldn’t dodge, and they seemed premeditated, directly severing his tendons.


    A pained cry escaped Yang Fang’s throat as he fell to the ground, unable to use martial arts ever again.


    Zhang Linping red at Yang Fang angrily, yet felt some pity in his heart. Yang Fang was a promising martial artist from the Sunflower Sect, yet Chu Ge incapacitated him by merely transforming True Qi into sharp swords, severing all his tendons—a surprising and shocking turn.


    At the same time, he felt a bit pressured; Chu Ge was at the Innate Grandmaster realm, and though they were both Innate, the gap between Grandmaster and Perfect was immense.


    Zhang Linping was someone who knew when to advance or retreat, unable to defeat Chu Ge now, he has to report Chu Ge’s situation to the Sect Hierarch truthfully.


    Zhang Linping instructed another person, “Carry him away.”


    Zhang Linping and his brethren left, feeling shamed; this shame is something they will eventually reim from Chu Ge.


    Only after they departed did Huo Tianqian breathe a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his brow, “Indeed, there is a difference between Late Stage and Innate; although I am at Middle-stage Innate realm, I’m still a Late-stage Martial Artist and struggled against two people.”


    Chu Ge nodded slightly, “They were Sunflower Sect experts, it’s understandable you struggled against them.”


    Huo Tianqian nodded, stretching his muscles. Despite the difficulty, it had been a long time since he had fought so thoroughly and freely.


    Chu Ge didn’t pay any more attention to Huo Tianqian and looked into the shadows, “Lin Zhao, you cane out now.”


    Lin Zhao had been watching the fight from the shadows, something he’d only seen on TV before, still finding it hard to believe seeing it in person.


    Lin Zhao walked over to Chu Ge, curious, and asked, “Mr. Chu, was what you just projected what martial artists call True Qi?”


    Having seen with his own eyes how mere energy transformed into sharp swords upon reaching Yang Fang,pletely catching him off guard.


    Chu Ge nodded, “Yes, that’s True Qi.”


    “Alright, let’s get going first, and check how Mr. Qian’s family is doing.”


    Chu Ge didn’t n to say much to Lin Zhao, knowing extensive talk with him would do little good.


    But Huo Tianqian was puzzled by something, looking at Chu Ge confused, “Mr. Chu, why didn’t you directly keep these people?”


    What he meant by “keep” was their lives, feeling since departing from Master Guangde, Chu Ge had developed a respect for life, sparing those not excessively grievous.


    Chu Ge chuckled lightly, “It’s nothing much really, these people aren’t as abominable as the ck Witch Sect, though their personalities are somewhat extreme, the Sunflower Sect is still considered righteous in the world of martial arts.”
