Chapter 313: Accusation
Shangyin, Hunan Province.
Nanjing District.
Shangyin was the city located at the southernmost tip of Dongting Lake.
Thus, the supreme masters of the Hyeongsan Sect had agreed to gather at the puppet sect Namjeongbang, located in Sang-eum, to travel to Akyang in the northeast of Dongjeong Lake.
Among them, the Immortal Zimang, seated in the reception hall of the Namjeongbang drinking tea, suddenly spoke with a displeased expression.
“The fact that discipline among our disciples stationed outside has grown lax isn’t exactly new, but this is reaching a serious level. Once this matter is settled, we’ll definitely need to properly enforce discipline.”
Jiamang Zhenren, serving as the deputy head of the Discipline Hall responsible for the precepts of disciples even at the main headquarters of the Xingshan Sect, was renowned for his stubbornness and his emphasis on the hierarchical order among the four senior disciples.
Then, Gong Chudong, a peerless master of the Hyeongsan Sect working alongside him in the Discipline Hall, spoke as if to soothe him.
“They’ve all come from afar, Senior Brother. Surely they didn’t deliberately arrive late.”
At those words, Master Zimang’s brow furrowed sharply as he replied.
“Do you think this elder brother is making such a fuss just because I was late?! Of course I might be late if the journey is long! But then, shouldn’t you have sent a messenger beforehand?! You should have said, ‘I’m sorry I was late because of such-and-such!’ Isn’t that the proper way between brothers?!”
