Chapter 1398: Chapter 1397 Disrespecting

Sect Master Lea Weiss closed her eyes and spoke, "I would like to say that the whole cause for this disaster to our sect is the Reins themselves. If they weren't intent on making Shirley theirs, her protector wouldn't have had a reason to make a move, much less make a crazy move like killing himself."

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's white brows furrowed, "I know you have enmity with Valerian as he had secretly poisoned your Burning Phoenix, trying to take advantage of you back then in the succession rights to become a Sect Master. But, even if that brat Valerian deserved to die along with that hateful Magnus Rein, they are still a part of our sect."

He turned to look at her, his wizened eyes looking sharp.

"As the Sect Master, not only did you watch what was happening without making a move while our sect's overall prowess was dwindling, but you're now hindering me from investigating about the culprit? Considering that Chu Feng is dead, the only way to know who he truly is through that child Shirley. She owes the sect an answer."

Sect Master Lea Weiss's heart trembled as she knew that the Ancestor discovered her intent like it was nothing.

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss was from obviously her family, but more than thirty generations separated them. They were distantly related that they couldn't even be considered family from a mortal's point of view. Nevertheless, as she was born in a cultivator family, respect was ingrained deep in her soul for this character from her childhood that she couldn't help but keep her mouth shut at this moment, finding it difficult to rebuke or say a few words back.

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss took away his gaze from her and flew towards Shirley's Crimson Palace while Sect Master Lea Weiss quickly came back to herself as she followed. It didn't even take two seconds for them to arrive in front of the entrance, but the defensive formation that still glowed with intensity barred their way.

"Tell her that it is safe and that she can deactivate the formation..."

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss spoke with an indifferent expression before Sect Master Lea Weiss sighed. She didn't think Davis would truly kill Ancestor Magnus Rein, inevitably making this a big matter that was out of her authority. But fortunately, it looks like the last alive Ancestor remained in seclusion.

Otherwise, she would truly be helpless in the extreme sense, but it made sense to her that the remaining Ancestor didn't show up, considering that the threat has already been taken care of while another Ancestor was already on the scene.

As a sect, it was never a good move to reveal all the trump cards to the public, and as a Sect Master who faced many dangers as well as having to make harrowing decisions while battling the wicked path, she gritted her teeth and moved her lips.

However, no sound came out.

Both of them looked at the defensive formation retract before three people walked out.

At this moment, Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss turned around and stepped forward, space twisting while it distorted to the horizon. They all abruptly appeared somewhere else, in the Ancestral Palace of the Burning Phoenix Ridge. However, to the onlookers like Grand Elder Claus Strom, their expressions became astounded as they witnessed Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss use Spatial Distortion and Spatial Compression to instantly travel to another place.

The theory was the same as using a Spatial Gate, but to do it requires immense comprehension of Space Laws which they have yet to perceive other than its Elementary Intent.

One should know that Space and Time weren't supporting laws, that one would eventually be able to learn as their cultivations became higher. No, it didn't work like that. It was just as essential as any other law, something that is required to be comprehended every step of the way while also requiring affinity towards it, again, just like any other law.

Some people could only hope to comprehend the Elementary Intent of Space Laws, and some other people had the ability to comprehend more than Elementary Intent. Only time could tell how far a cultivator could reach even with a mediocre affinity, and Grand Elder Claus Strom recalled that Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's affinity towards Space Laws was mediocre at best.

He couldn't help but think that living for so long sure had its perks as he smiled in a relaxed manner, assured of his future from the nightmare he had just awoken from. One wrong move and he would've been a goner too!

However, things weren't as relaxed as he thought in the Ancestral Palace of the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

"You followed me here..."

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss looked at Sect Master Lea Weiss, his eyes creasing in annoyance. When he used his Spatial Laws, he didn't carry Sect Master Lea Weiss with him, but she tagged along of her own volition. It was such a huge disrespect cast towards him.

"I am interested in Shirley's answers..."

Sect Master Lea Weiss simply replied, not bothering to look back at her Ancestor.

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss gave a long skeptical look that caused Sect Master Lea Weiss's heart to palpitate. Nevertheless, he took his gaze back and looked at the three people in front of them, especially the one at the center who had just said something audacious before he confronted Sect Master Lea Weiss.

"What are you saying, child? You want to kill all the Reins?"

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss confusedly looked at the teary-eyed Shirley, blinking in incredulity as he saw immense hatred swelling in her ruby-like eyes.

"Those bastards! All my master was trying to do was protect me from the schemes the Reins hatched. Master had to give up his life in order for me to live! This isn't fair!"

Shirley shed tears, which didn't even appear like crocodile tears at all. She lowered her head, her body trembling to her need for revenge as her eyes flashed in hate. Indeed, the moment of his death was still burning her eyes like a curse. Her entire being had gone stiff at that moment, making her feel like going on a killing spree.

"That Chu Feng is your Master? Then tell me what your background is, and I assure you that I will investigate whoever tried to scheme against you, trying to obtain you. All the ten families shall not be spared, including my own. You have my word."

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss spoke with confidence while rubbing his white-haired goatee.

Shirley raised her head, looking at the Ancestor that struck fear into her heart just by standing in front of his presence.

"That's irrelevant..."

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's brows furrowed, "Child, don't you dare talk back to your Ancestor."

Shirley barred her teeth, her mind churning with stories.

"I'm saying that my background is irrelevant because I'm an orphan! Doesn't Ancestor get it? My master is the one who picked me up from a river and made me the person I am today! If it weren't for you people who fail to protect your own disciples, my master didn't have the need to die for my sake!"

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss became stunned by her voice that seemed unafraid of him.

"...!"

He suddenly raised his hands, seemingly going to slap Shirley for her impudence, when Sect Master Lea Weiss suddenly stood in front of her, blocking his view.

"I knew it." Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss took his hand back, placing it behind his back with a snort, "Hmph! No wonder this child was this brazen. It's all your fault for not teaching her how to respect, Sect Master Lea. Move aside."

Sect Master Lea Weiss trembled before she lightly moved aside, only leaving a bit of space while she stood in between. Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss looked at her with wide, threatening eyes before took another step back, not wanting to aggravate the situation because it would certainly be stressful to stop an infuriated Ancestor.

Shirley came into his view as he looked at her with his overbearing gaze.

"Orphan? Your Master? Do you seriously expect me to believe that? Swear to the heavens for me then..."

Shirley bit her lips, looking solemn before she took a deep breath, "I swear-"

"I need you to sign a Blood Soul Contract along with your oath." Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss added while Shirley looked taken aback before his expression continually changed.

"Bastard! You're just after my Master's Cultivation Manual and his secret techniques!!!"

She screamed as she clenched her fists that Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's eyes became wide while Sect Master Lea Weiss practically trembled, both pale as they couldn't believe what she dared to utter.

"Good...!" Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's gaze was cold as he cast a look at the trembling Shirley, "It seems like I need to make you suffer in the Burning Hell Valley for being this impudent, and naturally, you will be able to tell that talent means nothing in front of real power after your tempering session. You're just a growing chick, and yet you dare to disrespect me, a peak High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse!!!?"

He lifted his hand, looking as if he was going to slap Shirley again.

Sect Master Lea Weiss's fingers shook, wanting to stop it, but spatial laws instantly stopped her from moving, locking her in place instead. She looked at her Ancestor near Shirley, her expression becoming difficult as she truly didn't know how to save Shirley from this as it was her own undoing.

However, her mind suddenly recalled 'his' heartfelt voice.

[

"I only need you to promise me one thing..."

"What...?" Sect Master Lea Weiss's expression became skeptical, feeling that he was going to ask her for something outrageous.

"Protect Shirley at all costs..."

]

*Whizzz!~*

A stream of Burning Phoenix flames rushed to the horizons in this cultivation hall, dividing the line between the two parties, making them look dumbfounded by the sudden interference.

Shirley felt the scorching hot flames were intense, but Esvele and Freya rushed to pull her back, standing in front of her to guard her against the heat waves even though they felt the melting heat themselves. The ninth stage flames at such a close range for them was almost too much to bear, but it seemed like all its prowess was turned to the opposite side.

"Lea! You dare defy me and protect this impudent child, even going as far as to offend me!?"

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's voice boomed out as he turned his head to the side to look at Lea Weiss.

"Of course, that was what I was doing all this time, you retard...!"

Sect Master Lea Weiss's brazen voice echoed out, completely infuriating Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss as his body trembled, his white hair hovering above as if he was truly angered!

However, Sect Master Lea Weiss's lips twitched. She accidentally repeated what she said to Davis, her expression twitching in awkwardness before a determined glint appeared in her eyes. Her figure burst into crimson flames as it shattered the invisible spatial lock on her before she appeared in front of Shirley and the other two, her crimson eyes staring at Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss in a threatening manner.

"I promised Chu Feng that I would protect Shirley no matter what. He even sacrificed his life to take revenge in my stead, so I am left with no choice but to defy you, Ancestor."

Her domineering voice boomed out again, causing Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's expression to twist in rage!
