Chapter 924: Elder Lim
Kana released her pressure causing the old man"s face to turn red with rage as he struggled to get up. "Sect master! Are you just going to allow her to do as she pleases!?"
The sect master looked at his old friend, then at Kana. Kana only smiled as she sent the sect master a voice transmission that caused the sect master"s eyes to grow wide before looking at Elder Lim. "Elder Xuegang, you will still be a high elder, and Elder Lim will also be promoted to high elder as well."
"What, why!? She is so young and has such low cultivation! Why should she become a high elder!?" The old man known as Elder Xuegang did not understand why the sect master was promoting such a young and low cultivation based elder.
"Why?" Kana smiled as she stepped forward and placed her hand on Elder Lim"s shoulder, releasing the technique she was using to suppress her cultivation. A strong wind flooded out from Elder Lim"s position, causing everyone to gasp in surprise. "Because she is indeed stronger than you and even the sect master. She is closer to becoming an ascended than you will ever be."
"This…." Even Elder Xuegang couldn"t hide his surprise. He never thought in a million years that a young woman like Elder Lim would have such cultivation. She was a pure genius! "Why did you hide your cultivation!? This is just absurd!"
"The same reason I hid mine." Yu Ling suddenly said as she stood up and stepped forward. With each step she took, her appearance changed until it revealed a young woman the same age as Elder Lim. "Because you elders here are so prideful that you would not hesitate to try to tear us down."
"You!? You!? Who are you!?" Elder Xuegang was in utter shock! He did not wish to believe it even if he just saw it with his own eyes!
"Are you senile old man? This is my master, Elder Ling, the same one you keep thinking you are so much better than. And even she is more powerful than you." Kana looked at all the old men in the group of elders. "With so many prideful perverts here, they would not be able to stand such young girls being better than them. They would probably use tricks to try to get rid of them. Because they would only be a roadblock on their path to becoming a high elder."
"Nonsense!" One of the elders yelled out. "Why would we do such a thing?"
"Why wouldn"t you? Look at you." Kana pointed at the old man and then moved her finger towards the girls behind him. "Each one of your disciples is beautiful, but their cultivation is bad. This means you are doing more than just helping them with their cultivation."
The girls all blushed and lowered their heads. Kana was not stupid. She could see that they were taught more than just the way of the sword or how to progress in their cultivation. "There are so many better and hard working disciples you could have chosen, but you picked all females with low cultivation that wouldn"t resist the temptation of getting extra resources. I will not fault you for this because it is their choice, but it just goes to prove that you think nothing of people with higher cultivation. Elder Lim and Master are both beautiful girls, and such girls would be untouchable for most of you, which would hurt your pride even more if they were more powerful than you. In order to not draw attention and cause issues, they hid their cultivation. Are you going to say I am wrong on my a.s.sumption?"
"Yes! We would never….." A heavy pressure weighed down on to the elder who just spoke. He stared at Kana with eyes filled with anger. "You think using your pressure on me will make me change my answer!? Since I will not submit, you will use force!?"
"Hmmm? Make you submit? Make you say otherwise? I just don"t like you." Kana replied with a smile. She would never like anyone that uses their status to lure in girls.
"You!" The old man was shaking. Not from fear but anger. He has never been so humiliated. Now he knew why Elder Xuegang hated this woman!
"Anyway…." Kana released her pressure and looked at the others. "Let me give a single warning. In this sect, the only ones I will listen to are the sect master and my master. The sect master out of respect for his role in leading this sect. And my master well because she is my master. If any of you elders tries to get any ideas about anyone I choose to protect, then I can guarantee that you will find out what it means to become a living door ornament."
Kana was giving a blatant threat. She also did not care how anyone took it. Nor did she care if they hated her. She only cared about one thing. Those she decides to protect will be protected. It was that simple.
"Alright! Since these things are settled, let us finish with this ceremony." With this, the master and disciple ceremony commenced. It only consisted of the disciple bowing three times to their master and serving them tea. The actual ceremony was nothing too special.
Kana returned to Yu Ling"s mountain with Elder Lim in tow. "Elder Lim, there is a spot not far from here that can be turned into an immortal cave. I do apologize for not having a residence already made."
"No, Elder Ling does not need to worry. It is me who is intruding on you. However, I do wonder if this is necessary. I do have my own mountain…." Elder Lim did not see the need to stay on Yu Ling"s mountain when she had her own.
"We are doing it for your protection. Those old men are more prideful and scheming than you think. We can not be too careful that they won"t try something. Since you do not have any disciples, it makes it easier for you to just come here."
