The elven branch didn't see a minute of peace that night. The fourth elder and the third young master are fighting like crazy.
While the third young master's cultivation is the late stage of Pre-transcendence it is still higher than the peers by two sub-stages as all of them are at a barely early stage.
And the fourth elder is at the Peak of pre-transcendence, but he is being treated like the Third young master's grandson as he kicked his ass.
Before the other elders could come and intervene, the third young master already left eight deep slashes on the fourth elder and made him immobile on the ground.
He then started chasing the fourth young master who is trying to escape this nightmare, by literally fleeing the scene.
But the third young master is not only persistent, he was already determined to kill the fourth young master that very day.
Right before he managed to catch up and swung his sword, the second elder came and tackled the third young master from the side.
The swing of the sword missed by a small mark and left a deep slash on the back of the fourth young master making him fall forward and bleed out.
"Get the fuck out of my way."
The third young master coldly looked at the second elder. The second elder was stunned for a second. This is the first time he is watching the third young master this angry. He is actually the most obedient and most docile of all the young masters, even though he is the strongest of them all. He might not be politically inclined, but he managed to solve many issues for the family that could just be solved with the strength and the cultivation world needs that.
He worked his ass off for the family and eventually he was taken for granted. No one placed too much importance on him ever since he withdrew from the race for the head of the family. But now he is in full fury.
He didn't care if the elders came for him or the family head will come looking for him. He decided to kill the fourth young master and he is going to do so no matter what happens.
He once again ran after the fourth young master that is crawling and trying to get up. But before he reached him, the second elder once again tackled him and this time he held him tightly without letting him move.
But the third young master managed to free one hand, even though it didn't have any sword in that hand, he took out a sword from the storage and threw it towards the fourth young master.
The sword flew through the air cutting the wind currents surrounding it and stabbed itself into the back of the fourth young master and went straight to the heart.
The second elder realized his mistake and turned around in horror as he tried to save the fourth young master, but it was already too late.
The fourth elder who is watching the whole scene from far away lying in his own pool of blood, couldn't take it anymore and die of shock.
The second elder who got angry over this looked at the third young master and said.
"I wanted to give you a chance and a way out because of your talent, but now you are nothing more than an abomination who doesn't know what is good for you and the branch.
I will execute you for your sins."
He instantly charged towards the third young master. But the latter didn't back down and held the sword tightly as he wiped the blood off of his mouth from the back of his hand.
His eyes looked like he is a beast looking at the prey with a lust for blood.
He looked like he would go crazy if he didn't kill anyone soon.
He lunged at the second elder who is at the Peak of Astral Plane Pre-transcendence, he is the best there is in the peak of the Pre-transcendence, at least that is what he thought so.
The third young master swung his sword and when the second elder blocked it, he used the force to turn around and a second sword appeared in his other.
He spun like a top and stabbed the short sword that appeared in his second hand into the torso of the second elder from the side.
A Second Elder winced in pain, the third young master threw a spinning kick on the handle of the short sword that was already stabbed cleanly into the body and made him feel excruciating pain.
"Come and get me, elder. Execute me in front of the whole branch for my sins. Come on. Don't let a small stab to your lungs stop you from doing that."
The third young master spoke and he swung his sword leaving a slash on the same spot. He just widened the flesh hole a bit and once again kicked the short sword, making it go deeper and deeper.
The second elder is not only losing a lot of blood, he is also drowning in his own blood.
At this moment, the first elder, the grand elders, and the branch head all came to the scene and everyone quietened down.
The third young master took a look at them and a grin occupied his face. A grin that made him a completely different person than what they knew he was supposed to be.
He spun seven twenty degrees and landed the kick one again on the short sword and the second elder collapsed on the spot.
The branch head and the grand elders along with the first elder all frowned.
The third young master picked the short sword out and wiped the blood off on his clothes as he walked towards the entourage.
"What? Do any of you want to execute me too? If so, come and get a piece of me."
The third young master completely lost it.
The first elder took outraised his spiritual energy as fire elemental energy increased the temperature around.
"Kid, you crossed way too many lines. You killed the members of the branch."
"Yes, I killed the members of the branch. So, what are you going to do about it?
Branch this, branch that. I am fucking sick of it all. I work my ass off for you worthless bastards and all I get in return is your scorn. I have had it enough. From today onwards, I have nothing to do with this branch.
You can live and die as you like and fuck each other for some political bullshit. I and my father are leaving today.
The next one that steps forward to stop me, will die the most brutal death of the night.
"You little piece of s…"
The first elder made his move and was in the middle of a spell while cursing the third young master, but a throwing knife appeared and stabbed itself into the arm, making him bleed.
He looked at the third elder who stepped forward.
"Didn't you hear what he said? Or are you retarded enough to not understand it?"
The branch head frowned and said.
"Third elder, are you rebelling?"
"So, what if I am?"
"You are breaking the rules and customs of the elves. Are you forgetting your vows?"
"You can think so, but one thing that I don't forget is that to be on a high-level position, in our branch, you don't have to be the strongest, which means, you are all worthless pieces of scum who are just protected by the rules from the likes of me. Now, that my son doesn't want anything to do with you scum, it is all fair game."
With that his aura raged and when his cultivation was revealed, everyone was stunned on the spot.
He is an Early stage of Astral Plane Transcendent cultivator.
No one knew of this too. Because there are only four known transcendent stage cultivators of the Astral Plane in the branch and they are the Branch head, the grand elders, and the first elder.
Now, the third elder also revealed his cultivation, the whole branch is shocked by the father and son duo.
They worked the most for the family, but they seemed to be the most detached people for the family too, at the same time.
Sam and Paras are looking at this whole scenario from a vantage point not so far away.
"It seems like we poked a bigger hornet's nest than we thought. The third elder and his son are some crazy people."
Saber Monarch muttered as he looked at the scene.
This kind of escalation is something that even Sam didn't predict.
He didn't expect that the third young master who is insecure enough to find himself a prostitute to even feel loved, has such a side to him.
"What do you think Paras, if that third elder is as talented as his son, he might even be able to deal with that branch head. Do you think you can take him?"
"Of course, there is no one in the same realm that managed to defeat me. And there will be no one that would defeat me."
"Well, that is good. Because as this escalates, after an hour or so, we might need to go down there and finish what was started. So, get ready to take your revenge."
