The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1030 He Made an Exception (2 Updates)
The president nodded repeatedly, appearing apologetic.

To outsiders, it might seem that the chairman was willing to offend the people from the General Association just to give them face.

In reality, only he himself knew.

Just now, I saw the Venerable One kill Mr. Long without saying a word, and treat them like dead people.

The president immediately realized one thing: the Venerable One wanted to pin the blame for the loss of the bronze mirror entirely on them.

If Mr. Long and his group leave at this point, they will have no chance of turning the tide.

Almost instantly, without a second thought, the guild leader decided to seize Long Ling and the others as their only lifeline.

Of those present, probably only a few people couldn't understand what was happening.

Therefore, everyone tacitly watched everything unfold.

If the old man kills Long Ling and Xuan Chu on his first attempt, he will naturally achieve his goal.

But now, his attempt has failed, and his purpose has been seen through. It's clear that he can't make another move now.

The old man withdrew his previously murderous and sinister gaze and stopped looking at Long Ling.

His first move was driven by anger, and since he succeeded, no one could say anything about it.

Now that the initiative has been lost, there's no need to take action.

The chairman, a shrewd old fox, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene.

Although he was a minor association leader in a remote place, everyone has a few acquaintances, fellow disciples, or fellow disciples.

Some things can be done, but they can't be discussed openly.

Especially when someone sees through you and you've lost the initiative.

No matter how extraordinary a venerable person's status is, there are still people who can control him.

Losing the bronze mirror was already a serious crime. If his superiors found out and he did something extra to shirk responsibility, then his crime would be compounded.

The president pretended not to know that he had seen through everything.

He stepped forward again and said in a very apologetic tone, "Mr. Long, I know you must be very angry right now."

However, with such a significant event occurring, everyone is feeling somewhat anxious.

"I hope you can give me some face and check on these people from the General Association first. Once their injuries have stabilized, we can discuss apologizing to you."

The chairman adopted a very humble attitude, saying that as long as the two sides didn't start fighting, he would be grateful.

Long Ling snorted again, clearly her temper wasn't going to be easily quelled.

In the end, it was Xuan Chu who stood up again. After all, the persona he had created for himself was that of a good senior brother who would always protect his junior brothers.

"President, my junior brother doesn't have a very good temper either, but we still have to give you some face."

As a way of thanking you for your hospitality these past few days, let me take a look at the injuries of these members of the association.

Long Ling walked arrogantly to the chair next to her and sat down with her legs crossed.

This attitude clearly tells everyone that he can give them some face, but that face is limited.

No one can get rid of him simply by offering a few words of apology after offending him.

The other members of the local association, seeing that the previously tense atmosphere had finally eased somewhat, felt that the situation had improved.

I breathed a sigh of relief. They really had it so tough.

However, as long as there is a way to save face and someone can treat the injuries of the people from the General Association, that's enough.

Whether it was Long Ling or Xuan Chu who came to the rescue is not important.

Xuan Chu walked towards the bed, and as he brushed past the old man, he immediately released his aura. Within this aura was a trace of power from the Heavenly Dao's restrictions.

Xuan Chu has never used the power from the Heavenly Dao's restrictions to suppress anyone.

At this moment, he made an exception.

Xuan Chu's master once wondered if Yun Ran would be the first person Xuan Chu would make an exception for.

Xuan Kong even wondered if Xuan Chu would be manipulated by that shrewd girl Yun Ran if he made an exception for her.

But he probably never dreamed that Xuan Chu would make an exception, not for Yun Ran, but for a dragon spirit that he didn't get along with.

Although the old man did not kill Long Ling and Xuan Chu with a single blow, he did not take the two young men seriously.

Therefore, when Xuan Chu passed by him, he didn't even think about making any defensive moves.

Sure enough, when the oppressive aura emanating from Xuan Chu, imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao's restrictions, rushed directly towards the old man.

With a 'poof' sound, the old man not only spat out a mouthful of blood, but his entire face also turned somewhat red.

At the same time, a sentence drifted into the old man's ear.

"This is the price you pay for daring to make a move!"

The local association members, witnessing this scene, were once again so shocked that they lost all composure.

No, are all the masters these days so casual in their attacks?
An attack that can sever a person's head in a single blow if they disagree with someone.

The other one, too, could cause someone to vomit blood simply by walking past you without a word of protest.

Is this what it means for masters to clash?

This precise control ensures that the attacks they unleash will only target the person they intend to attack.

And the others, even those standing next to you, will not be attacked in any way.

The chairman's eyes flickered. He had seen Mr. Long in action before and knew that Mr. Long's methods were extraordinary.

Whether it was saving their lives, easily capturing the two-headed vengeful spirit snake, or fighting the black-robed man who stole the bronze mirror...

All of this is enough to show that Mr. Long's strength has reached an extremely terrifying level.

If a sect or a family has one or two outstanding disciples, that's already quite good.

Therefore, in their eyes, Xuan Chu, who had never made a move, was...

He's basically someone with a sharp mind who can keep his junior brothers in check. He's strong, but definitely not as strong as Mr. Long.

But what is happening now has shattered their conventional views.

Who says that a sect or a family can't have many prodigies?

Just a simple sidestep, and the Venerable One they feared was injured like this.

Even though they hadn't taken his pulse yet, they could tell that the Venerable One's injuries were quite severe.

Those few people in the General Association who are still alive and well.

We were desperate and thought we might as well try anything, hoping this person might be of some use.

So their attitude was just so-so.

Otherwise, all the people who went to see Xuan Chu and his group several times before were from the local association, and they never came to their door.

Now that we've seen Xuan Chu's strength...

Whether they were from the local association or the national association, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
