Lightning Is the Only Way

For a second, the Sect remained in silence as the Sect Master appeared.

Then, everything broke out.

"He killed people!"

"He killed members of our Sect!"

"He killed our members in public!"

"Let me at him, Sect Master! I'm going to take revenge for- "

Bonk!

And the last person was also thrown into the fire.

Of course, it had been Gravis that had done that.

The Sect was thrown into silence again.

Gravis only smirked at the Sect Master while he had done that.

The Sect Master only frowned at Gravis.

The two of them exchanged gazes for a couple of seconds.

As the members of the Sect saw Gravis and the Sect Master exchange glances, they became confused.

Why wasn't their Sect Master killing him?

A level one Ancestral God had just killed over 30 of their own Ancestral Gods!

Why wasn't the Sect Master doing anything!?

Why was she just looking at him!?

After some seconds, the Sect Master turned away from Gravis and looked at her Sect.

"What am I supposed to do?" she asked the Sect with a serious tone.

The members were shocked when they heard that.

What was up with that question?

"Just kill him-"

Bonk!

And that guy was gone too.

Silence again.

The others looked with horror at the place where the previous person had just stood.

"S-Sect Master," a woman with luxurious attire said nervously. "Don't you have the power to… do something against him? You're the strongest member of our Sect! It's your responsibility to protect us!"

Gravis hadn't unleashed his terrifying bonk ability on that person since she hadn't directly threatened him.
