chapter 16 villain face

"Important matter?"
Noah's expression hardened, disappointment evident in his eyes.
The Punishment Hall and the Pharmacy Hall could be said to be the two most important institutions of the Sword God Sect.
One is in charge of the sect's punishments, and the other is in charge of the sect's resources.
But the fact that the elders of these two institutions colluded with each other for personal gain.
It was truly disappointing.
Even though the Punishment Hall had more than just Axel as an elder, and the Pharmacy Hall had more than just Brian.
But Noah could imagine what the entire Pharmacy Hall and Criminal Hall were like from the actions of these two.
Otherwise, how could such blatant incidents of disciples being deprived of resources happen without anyone taking action?
"The Pharmacy Hall is in charge of the medicinal materials and pills of the Sword God Sect. As a senior of the Pharmacy Hall, your duty is to distribute appropriate pills to the disciples and manage the sect's resources properly. This should be your priority, not trying to please others and meddling in matters that do not belong to the Pharmacy Hall!" Noah's expression had already turned cold, his tone calm yet reprimanding.
Upon hearing this, Brian immediately became displeased. "How dare you! You, an outer disciple, dare to lecture me? Do you still have any respect for seniority? Do you not understand the difference in status? Tell me, what is your name!"
"He is Noah, the one who injured Oliver," said Seth, who was standing beside Ling Tian, in a leisurely manner.
"Noah?"
Brian was taken aback.
Of course, he knew who Noah was.
Wasn't he the one who caused a disturbance at the Sword Child Enfeoffment Ceremony?
As his awkward gaze shifted towards Axel, he noticed Axel's icy expression, which showed no intention of dealing with Noah.
From this, he seemed to realize something and his expression became extremely awkward.
It turned out that Axel had known long ago that it was Noah who had injured Oliver, yet he still didn't intend to deal with Noah.
Brian didn't know why, but he was certain that Axel had his reasons.
If that was the case, where could he intervene?
Brian fell silent, and Noah didn't bother to say more.
After straightening up, he solemnly said to Brian, "I am Noah! I am here on behalf of my master, Henry, to collect the medicinal materials prepared by the previous sect Master!"
"The medicinal materials prepared by the Sect Master?" Suddenly, Brian remembered something.
Half a month ago, the sect master, Benjamin, had visited the Pharmacy Hall.
The sect Master instructed the Pharmacy Hall elders to prepare some medicinal materials, saying that someone would come to collect them in half a month.
Brian was present at the time.
But he never expected that Noah would be the one to come for the materials today.
"If Mr. Brian is unaware of this matter due to insufficient authority in the Pharmacy Hall, then I kindly request the elder in charge of the Pharmacy Hall to come out. Or perhaps you would like me to invite the Sect Master to confirm this?" Noah's cold voice rang out again, leaving Brian stunned.
"There's no need to trouble the Sect Master. Please wait here for a moment while I verify this." Brian, now looking embarrassed and no longer as domineering as before, immediately softened his tone.
With that, he turned around and hurried back into the Pharmacy Hall.
It seems that he could only resolve this embarrassment by leaving.
"How could the Pharmacy Hall have such an elder?"
"This Brian must be feeling quite frustrated for not currying favor with Axel."
"I heard that Brian became the Pharmacy Hall elder by currying favor."
After Brian went back into the Pharmacy Hall, there were whispers outside about him.
Soon after, Brian emerged from the Pharmacy Hall and walked towards Noah.
He was now holding a storage ring.
"Inside here are the medicinal materials prepared by the Pharmacy Hall as instructed by the Sect Master. Take them!"
Brian raised his head, deliberately putting on the airs of an elder.
However, all the onlookers saw on his face was the demeanor of a sycophant.
Noah, of course, didn't regard such a person highly.
After receiving the storage ring from him, he turned to Emma. "Emma, let's go!"
With that, he led Emma out.
They seemed to pass by Axel and Oliver intentionally.
Without sparing them a glance, Noah and Emma left straight away.
Brian walked up to Axel, lowered his voice, and said, "This Noah is too arrogant, isn't he? If he becomes the Sword Child of the Sword God Sect, it won't be a good thing."
"Do you think he has a chance to become the Sword Child?" Axel glanced coldly at Brian.
"Hmph!" With a snort, he turned and left.
"I guess I was thinking too much. This kid's dantian is shattered. How could he be a match for Liam?" Watching Axel and the others leave, Brian looked in the direction Noah had gone and muttered to himself.
On the mountain path of the Sword God Sect, Noah and Emma walked one after the other.
"Noah, do you have confidence in defeating Liam in half a month?" Emma hesitated for a long time before finally couldn't help but ask Noah.
Although Noah had just demonstrated remarkable strength, Liam was not like Seth.
He was much stronger.
Now that he had fully integrated the Sword Bone, he had forged the Sword King body.
His cultivation had also reached the Second Stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm.
Emma was worried that Noah would die at Liam's hands.
"This battle is inevitable. Whether I have confidence or not, I must fight!" Noah replied calmly.
"You can choose not to fight, give the Sword Child position to Liam, and then we can leave the Sword God Sect together and return to North Wind Town." Emma looked naive.
Noah smiled bitterly and looked back at Emma. "Do you think they will let me go if I leave the Sword God Sect?"
Emma was speechless, her face full of worry.
"If I don't fight for the Sword Child position, even if I leave the Sword God Sect, I will still die without a doubt. Even James won't need to personally do it. His lackeys will make sure we die miserably. To survive, I must kill Liam and take the Sword Child position!" Noah said firmly, his gaze becoming sharper and sharper.
North Wind Town, where the Leigh family lived, was just a small town in the York Prefecture of the Greenfield in the Flame Cloud Nation.
The Sword God Sect, however, dominated the Greenfield as the largest sect.
Even if they escaped back to North Wind Town, they would still not be able to escape the persecution of Liam and others.
Therefore, evasion was futile.
"I am worried that..." Emma looked worried, hesitant to speak.
"Life and death are fated! Wealth and honor are in the heavens! Emma, don't you have a little confidence in me?" Noah glanced at her and smiled lightly.
"Of course, I have confidence in you! You was the number one genius in our North Wind Town. You was the most attractive guy in the hearts of thousands of girls in North Wind Town. How could I not have confidence in you?"
Seeing Noah so optimistic, Emma's brow also relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
"North Wind Town..."
Thinking of North Wind Town, Noah's thoughts drifted away.
In his previous life, after his dantian was shattered, he stayed in the Mount Weley for eight years.
He only left after Henry passed away.
After that, he returned to North Wind Town for the first time.
By then, he learned that the Leigh family in North Wind Town had been annihilated long ago.
But after inquiring, he learned that the Leigh family had been annihilated in just these few months.
However, due to the long past, the exact time of the annihilation could no longer be determined.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've been back to North Wind Town, hasn't it?" Noah came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said.
Since he was reborn in this life, he would certainly not let the tragic annihilation of the Leigh family happen again.
