The Ninth Peak was in chaos.

At first, there was an assassination attempt in the Outer Court disciple areas.

By the time disciplinary hall disciples came, the smoke had settled, and one of the disciples was found unconscious.

And just as they had wrapped up the search and were interrogating the disciple, another news came that there had been another assassination attempt. And this time, it was in the Inner Court.

However, this time they didn't find anyone unconscious or dead. In fact, no one was ever harmed.

But shockingly, Peak Master had himself arrived at the scene!

A small incident had soon blown up, and more higher-ups began to arrive at the scene.

Even though the disciplinary hall disciples gave their report and said that there weren't any disciples who got harmed, Peak Master of the Ninth Peak just shook his head and called them ignorant.

Frustrated, the disciples could only wait and follow the instructions.

The only instruction they received was to stand aside and not come in the way.

WIthout any dissatisfaction, they went and stood in a corner. 

This was exactly what they had wanted to do, so how could they argue when this was the instruction.

As they watched more and more elders arrive, they suddenly realized that whatever had happened here was much more serious than what they had first thought.

Unfortunately, whatever the elders were discussing, they couldn't hear a word of it.

Letting out a sigh, they could only stand quietly without saying anything.

…

"Why is it hard to believe my words?" Peak Master of the Ninth Peak, Cao Weisheng, snarled.

"Peak Master Cao, it's not that we don't believe you, but what you're saying is too far-fetched." One of the elders replied.

"Far-fetched? Are you kidding me? I saw exactly what had happened with my eyes!" Cao Weisheng was frustrated.

The elder shook his head, "But Peak Master Cao, please try to see the situation from our point of view. How could this be an attack from the Blazing Dragon Sect?"

Cao Weisheng opened his eyes wide, "You guys don't see it!? It's right in front of you!" 

He pointed at the two black spots on the ground.

"Look at the patterns," Peak Master Cao continued, "If this is not the aftereffect of the signature technique from Blazing Dragon Sect, then I don't know what it is."

"Exactly." A voice came from behind, "You don't know what it is."

"What do you mean, Sect Leader Su?" Peak Master Cao asked in confusion.

It was Sect Leader Su who had arrived at the scene.

The disciples standing in the corner straightened their backs. And it was now they understood that this whole incident was more than just serious.

Sect Leader Su, however, hadn't even looked at them.

He passed by them and went straight to the group of elders.

With a frown, he looked at Peak Master Cao and said, "I don't understand why you're trying to push every incident happening in our sect on the Blazing Dragon Sect."

"Even though those people are a bunch of hypocrites, I don't understand why you have to be such a delusional idiot."

"But Sect Leader S-!"

"Shut up!" Sect Leader Su waved his hand at Peak Master Cao and gestured at him to not say anything else.

He then stared and looked at the two spots on the floor and frowned after some time.

"This is familiar… but why is this here?" He muttered.

However, no one at the scene was a mortal, and everyone could hear his words very clearly.

Peak Master Cao asked, "Senior Brother, what is it?"

Sect Leader Su pursed his lips for a moment and didn't say anything.

He then turned towards the clueless disciples from the disciplinary hall and asked, "Where are the witnesses- oh wait, remove the Qi wall first."

There was a Qi wall between the elders and the disciples to keep whatever they were saying wouldn't be heard by anyone else unless the other party had high cultivation, like Sect Leader Su.

Peak Master Cao waved his hand, and an invisible wall suddenly disappeared.

Sect Leader Su slightly nodded his head and asked, "Who are the witnesses?"

The disciples came forward, and their leader replied in a stiff tone, "Gree-Greetings Sect Leader Su! This lowly disciple is Jin Fa. I came with my entourage as soon as we heard about the incident."

"We asked some questions from the disciples, and this was how we found out that there had been two low explosions, and the smoke suddenly filled the whole floor."

"So it was a smoke bomb?" Peak Master Cao shook his head, "Then the other one must have been the Qi Binding Bomb."

"I don't know the name of this bomb. However, it had temporarily blocked the Qi among all the nearby disciples."

"Hmm," Sect Leader Su scratched his chin, "My guess was correct, but the question is, how could Qi Binding Bombs come here?"

"What do you mean, Sect Leader Su?" One of the elders asked in confusion, "Don't we have these bombs in our sect too?"

Sect Leader Su shook his head, "No-no, Elder Hai, these bombs making an appearance is not a small deal. The ones I have brought to the sect were given to me by the Great Ye Clan from the Middle Heavens."

Everyone in the hall was surprised at this revelation. 

No one here was unfamiliar with the name of the Great Ye Clan.

This clan ruled the Middle Heavens, and the Crown Prince of this clan was rumored to be the Next Heavenly Emperor. 

Anything related to the Great Ye Clan would definitely have people turning their heads.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Sect Leader Su was unfazed. He added, "These bombs, even though they are pretty famous, are not something that can be found in a store.. They are unique to the Ye Clan, and no one outside of this clan's close members knows how to create such bombs."
