The inner elders stared at him, stunned.
One of them shouted angrily,
"Ridiculous! A child like you thinks he can take our sect?!"
Another elder whispered, nervous,
"Wait… the gate guards didn't report anything. Did he defeat them?"
Before anyone could react, Tian Lei stepped forward.
"Since elders and true leaders can fight for the sect," he said calmly, "then hurry up and call your Sect Master. I don't have time to waste."
The elders' faces twisted with rage.
"You arrogant brat!"
"Capture him!"
All five inner elders charged at once.
Tian Lei didn't even lift both hands.
He waved one palm—
BOOM!
A shockwave exploded across the courtyard.
All five elders were blown backward, smashing into stone walls, spitting blood.
One tried to stand but his legs shook uncontrollably.
Tian Lei walked past them as if they were trash on the road.
"Too weak," he said.
A loud scream echoed from ahead.
