Dendam antar sekte

Zhou Xin, dengan tubuh penuh luka, tiba di gerbang Sekte Dao Xiang. Para murid segera membawanya ke aula utama.

"Tetua... aku diserang oleh seseorang dari Sekte Tian Bao," ujar Zhou Xin dengan suara lemah.

Tetua sekte, Mo Qing, Yan Shu, dan He Liang, mendengar laporan itu dengan raut wajah serius.

"Ini penghinaan besar terhadap sekte kita," kata Mo Qing sambil mengepalkan tangannya. "Kita harus meminta penjelasan!"

Ketiganya memutuskan untuk membawa sejumlah murid pilihan ke Sekte Tian Bao.

Sementara itu, di Sekte Tian Bao, Che Su termenung di kamarnya. Ia masih memikirkan momen di mana ia hampir mati dalam pertarungan, tetapi kehadiran bayangan misterius tiba-tiba muncul dan menyelamatkannya.

Pintu kamarnya terbuka, dan sahabatnya, Xiao Zhui, masuk dengan langkah cepat.

"Apa kau baik-baik saja, Che Su?" tanya Xiao Zhui.

Che Su mengangguk. "Aku baik-baik saja. Tapi aku tidak bisa berhenti memikirkan tentang apa yang terjadi. Bayangan itu... siapa dia sebenarnya?"

Xiao Zhui hanya bisa menggelengkan kepala. "Entahlah, tapi yang jelas kau beruntung dia muncul."

Percakapan mereka terhenti oleh suara ledakan keras dari luar. Mereka segera berlari keluar untuk melihat apa yang terjadi.

---

Di halaman utama sekte, para murid telah berkumpul. Pasukan Sekte Dao Xiang berdiri dengan penuh amarah, dipimpin oleh Mo Qing dan dua tetua lainnya.

"Kami datang untuk meminta penjelasan!" seru Mo Qing.

Tetua utama Sekte Tian Bao, Lin Qifeng, melangkah maju dengan tenang. "Apa maksud kalian datang ke sini dengan membawa pasukan?"

Yan Shu menjawab, "Murid kalian telah menyerang murid kami. Kami menuntut agar dia diserahkan untuk mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya."

"Tidak ada bukti yang menunjukkan bahwa murid kami bersalah," jawab Lin Qifeng. "Kami tidak akan menyerahkan siapa pun tanpa alasan yang jelas."

Mo Qing melangkah maju dengan nada dingin. "Kalau begitu, kami akan mengambilnya sendiri."

Para murid Sekte Tian Bao segera bergerak untuk melindungi Che Su. Melihat situasi semakin tegang, Xiao Zhui berbisik kepada Che Su, "Kita harus pergi sekarang."

Xiao Zhui membawa Che Su melalui jalur rahasia, tetapi mereka dihadang oleh Mo Qing dan dua tetua lainnya.

"Kalian tidak akan pergi ke mana pun," kata Yan Shu dengan nada dingin.

Namun, sebelum mereka sempat bertindak, sebuah suara bergema di udara.

"Berhenti melukai putraku..!!!"

Sosok bayangan gelap muncul, melayang di udara dengan aura yang luar biasa kuat. Kehadirannya membuat semua orang terpaku di tempat.

"Siapa kau?" tanya Mo Qing, mencoba menyembunyikan rasa takutnya.

Bayangan itu menjawab dengan suara tenang namun tegas, "Kalian tidak perlu tahu siapa aku. Tapi aku memperingatkan kalian: jika kalian tidak pergi sekarang, aku tidak akan ragu untuk menghancurkan kalian."

Mo Qing merasakan tekanan luar biasa dari kehadiran bayangan itu. Ia menyadari bahwa kekuatan ini berada di luar jangkauannya.

"Baik, kami akan pergi," katanya akhirnya.

Pasukan Sekte Dao Xiang segera mundur, meninggalkan Sekte Tian Bao dalam keheningan.

---

Setelah semuanya tenang, Lin Qifeng dan para murid Sekte Tian Bao berdiri dengan kebingungan.

"Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi? Apa yang membuat mereka

mundur begitu saja?" tanya salah satu murid.

Che Su, yang masih terkejut, hanya bisa berpikir, Siapa sebenarnya sosok itu? Mengapa dia terus melindungiku?

Meskipun situasi telah mereda, semua orang tahu bahwa masalah ini belum benar-benar selesai.

Chapter 3: Revenge between sects

Zhou Xin, covered in wounds, arrived at the gate of the Dao Xiang Sect. The disciples immediately carried him to the main hall.

"Elder... I was attacked by someone from the Tian Bao Sect," Zhou Xin said in a weak voice.

The sect elders, Mo Qing, Yan Shu, and He Liang, heard the report with solemn expressions.

"This is a great insult to our sect," Mo Qing said as he clenched his fists. "We must demand an explanation!"

The three of them decided to bring a few selected disciples to the Tian Bao Sect.

---

Meanwhile, in the Tian Bao Sect, Che Su was lost in thought in his room. He was still thinking about the moment when he almost died in battle, but a mysterious shadow suddenly appeared and saved him.

The door to his room opened, and his best friend, Xiao Zhui, walked in with quick steps.

"Are you okay, Che Su?" Xiao Zhui asked.

Che Su nodded. "I'm fine. But I can't stop thinking about what happened. That shadow... who is he really?"

Xiao Zhui could only shake his head. "I don't know, but you're lucky he showed up."

Their conversation was interrupted by a loud bang from outside. They immediately ran outside to see what was happening.

---

In the main courtyard of the sect, the disciples had gathered. The Dao Xiang Sect troops stood in anger, led by Mo Qing and two other elders.

"We've come to demand an explanation!" Mo Qing shouted.

The main elder of the Tian Bao Sect, Lin Qifeng, stepped forward calmly. "What do you mean by bringing troops here?"

Yan Shu replied, "Your disciple has attacked our disciple. We demand that he be handed over to be held accountable for his actions."

"There is no evidence to show that our disciple is guilty," Lin Qifeng replied. "We will not hand over anyone without a good reason."

Mo Qing stepped forward coldly. "Then, we will take them ourselves."

The Tian Bao Sect disciples immediately moved to protect Che Su. Seeing the situation getting tense, Xiao Zhui whispered to Che Su, "We should leave now."

Xiao Zhui brought Che Su through a secret path, but they were blocked by Mo Qing and two other elders.

"You are not going anywhere," Yan Shu said coldly.

However, before they could act, a voice echoed in the air.

"Stop hurting my son..!!!"

A dark shadow appeared, hovering in the air with an incredibly powerful aura. Its presence caused everyone to freeze in place.

"Who are you?" Mo Qing asked, trying to hide his fear.

The shadow replied in a calm but firm voice, "You do not need to know who I am. But I warn you: if you do not leave now, I will not hesitate to destroy you."

Mo Qing felt an overwhelming pressure from the shadow's presence. He realized that this power was beyond his reach.

"Alright, we will leave," he finally said.

The Dao Xiang Sect troops immediately retreated, leaving the Tian Bao Sect in silence.

---

After everything had calmed down, Lin Qifeng and the Tian Bao Sect disciples stood in confusion.

"What exactly happened? What made them retreat so easily?" asked one of the students.

Che Su, who was still shocked, could only think, Who exactly is that person? Why does he keep protecting me?

Although the situation had calmed down, everyone knew that this matter was not really over.
