The spirit king protector was simply too strong. Apart from the legendary origin realm forefather in the sect, there was no one who could best him.
If that kind of personage grew irate, no one would dare take him to task if he slapped a few disciples to death.
Besides, Ye Chonglou had said very clearly that Jiang Chen was someone under his protection, and someone he was treating as a novel.
Someone at Ye Chonglou’s level didn’t easily express his stance. When he did, each bit of spittle was like a nail, something to not be overlooked.
Zhou Yi had come with Iron Dazhi this time precisely because of the latter.
Iron Dazhi was the direct grandson of the esteemed elder Iron Long, the nephew of Iron Can, and a direct descendent of the Iron family. Add to that his superb potential, that made for a high standing in the Iron family.
He was here to fight against Jiang Chen because he had the Iron family propping him up.
Zhou Yi had wanted to make use of this opportunity to express how utterly loyal he was to the Iron family. This was why he’d come with Iron Dazhi.
However, he hadn’t thought that this time’s operation would be far less successful than he’d anticipated.
It could even be said that they were ankle deep in mud and unable to break free.
If this stalemate continued, they would be in grave trouble once Ye Chonglou returned.
Perhaps, Ye Chonglou would refrain from killing Iron Dazhi out of considerations of face for the Iron family, but what the hell was he, Zhou Yi? Ye Chonglou wouldn’t hesitate in making an example of him with one slap to death.
Besides, those law enforcement disciples were acting with the authority of the law enforcement hall without a warrant. Once this matter blew up, Ye Chonglou would have even more of an excuse to find fault.
If this made it to the sect head, then he would surely make use of this opportunity to suppress the Iron family.
After all, it was only the Xie and Iron family struggling for power in the sect now.
With no warrant and using the law enforcement disciples to use his position to satisfy a personal grudge, even Iron Dazhi would be in for a world of hurt once this crime was handed out.
Zhou Yi felt his scalp tingle with numbness the more he thought about it. He couldn’t continue on like this. They had to either overcome the Jiang manor immediately and slaughter everyone in it so there were no witnesses, or they had to leave as soon as possible before Ye Chonglou returned.
The consequences would be beyond imagining otherwise.
When his thoughts traveled down this path, Zhou Yi didn’t have the inclination to capture Gouyu and Tian Shao at all. The battle outside was raging like a rampaging fire, Iron Dazhi wouldn’t be looking to him for help.
However, none of the 16 disciples could be lost. The ensuing troubles would be great if they lost even a single one!
