Celestial Overlord - Chapter 56 Mother
Two scarlet eyes stared at him making him tremble all over. “I said you are in my way, understand!” the loud voice not only made the guard tremble, even the students in the crowd felt a chill.
Everyone felt as if they were swallowed by some huge pressure. Gasping, trembling in the presence of Tian Lee. “Move aside” Tian Lee cold voice startled the guards. They both fell on the ground trembling.
Before they could regain their sense, Tian Lee walked inside the main hall carrying Meng Lee. The students, who crowded outside to see the show flew away in fear. A sense of deadly crises arose in their heart making them run for their life.
The entrance which were crowded looked empty, only the two guards were on the ground in unconscious state.
“B-Big Brother! Why is your eyes so red” Meng Lee asked while staring at the Two scarlet eyes. “Are you scared Meng’er” Tian Lee asked while smiling. Meng Lee shook her head “Hmmmhummm, its so beautiful B-Big Brother” she said while staring at them.
Hearing this Tian Lee smiled, as his eyes turned back to normal. He started walking towards the main hall were sounds of quarrel was heard.

“From today onwards you are no more an Elder of the sect!” an old aged man siting in the main hall said. He looked old with white hair wearing a red colour robe. He was none other than the Supreme Elder Xing. Along with him five more Elders and few guards were present.
Hearing this Aunt Wu stood there silently, the odds were against her. Even the Sect head and the Elders who were on her side, were on a hunting mission because of the high level beast roaming in the boarder.
Today was the last day for her. To think all her hard work went in vain. She was not able to go against them, as they took action against her legally. If she were to stay as an Elder, Tian Lee needs to go through the test.
He was a normal mortal after all. She did not want to bother him anymore. “Well, its over after all, I still have my clan to take care” she thought. But still a drop of tear fell. She has been always working hard. After her parents death, she single handedly raised her clan from extinction.
When she thought everything was going alright, it all came to an end. Just when she turned around to leave, she heard the Supreme Elder voice. “I will give you another chance, just handover your family Heirloom to me” hearing this she was startled.
The family heirloom, an unknown object which looked like a sword. Her father was lucky enough to find it in some cave, when he went to explore the Xiantin continent. The sword gave an holy aura. It was kept as a rare treasure or to be precise more like an holy object by her family. But how does this Supreme Elder knows.
Truth struck as she started thinking of the past event. Her Father and Mother died mysteriously after that. They were said to be killed by some Monarch level beast in Taing forest. The only family that are well known for beast taming was Xing family.
Doubts cleared as the answer appeared in her mind. “It can’t be” she thought as she trembled. She turned as she glared at the Supreme Elder. “You! Bastard!” she flew in rage as she went straight for kill.
But only to be blocked by an Elder. The Elder punched her in the stomach as she flew away getting knocked on the wall. She stumbled on the ground, while coughing a mouth full of blood. Tears flowed down. She was helpless to even take revenge on the one who killed her parents.
“Hmph! Who do you think you are now!, just a lowly Clan Leader”. ” How dare you raise your hands against the Supreme Elder of the Lotus sect” an old man with a cunning look said as he glared at the fallen Ning Wu.
He was the Disciplinary Elder of the Lotus sect. He wanted to boot lick the Supreme Elder for getting a higher position. Just when he was searching for a chance, Ning Wu just gave him one. He used her as a tool to prove his loyalty to the Supreme Elder.
The Lotus sect was in a turmoil, one faction with the sect head and another with Supreme Elder. He decided to join the Supreme Elder. As he knows he had more chances in taking over than the old hag sect master.
“Guards! Arrest her, she dares to attack the Supreme Elder in front of us all” he shouted showing how good his boot licking skill was to the Supreme Elder.
Just when the guards were getting ready to drag Ning Wu. They all heard foot steps sound closing by them. As they all looked towards the sound. A young man carrying a child came into their view. He was wearing a common blue robe. While the child on seeing Ning Wu came running towards her.
Seeing the blood from her mother’s mouth Meng Lee cried, as she hugged her mother. Ning Wu was shocked. Why did this two come inside. When she thought everything will end only with her. To think even these two were dragged in her mess. She worried about the safety of her daughter and Tian Lee.
“Oh! Look, who we have here, the famous young master of Lee clan” an Elder who was sitting there commented on seeing Tian Lee. He knew Tian as he often visits the Imperial city. The famous Lee clan young master of imperial city.
But Tian Lee did not show any reaction. As anger boiled inside him. He cursed himself for not coming soon. To think he let someone get hurt in his presence. To think a women who was a motherly figure for him got hurt, when he was there.
For the first time, Tian Lee wanted to butcher these old bastards himself. “Aunt Wu! Who was it?” Tian Lee voice resounded in the main hall. Hearing his voice even Ning Wu was startled. Even she can say how angry he was. She felt a sense of joy hearing Tian Lee. After all she always thought of him like her own son.
“Its alright Tian’er let’s go” she said while supporting herself with Meng Lee to stand. “Where do you think you are going?” one of the Elder shouted seeing her. “Even the Lee clan young master can not help you, a puny mortal young master dares to be brazen in our Lotus sect” he said in a mocking voice.
But the next moment, he flew towards Tian Lee as his head got struck within Tian Lee extended arm. A cold voice resounded in the whole hall filling it with a deathly aura. “I am not talking to you!” Tian Lee voice made them all tremble.
The Elder struggled but the grip force of Tian Lee increased as it crushed the head of the Elder. The Elder body tumbled on the ground. As blood gushed out of the headless corpse. Fresh blood was dripping from Tian Lee hands.
The Elders and guards eyes went wide open. Because the Elder was a Spiritual realm expert at the Tenth stage. Just when they were thinking what the hell was happening there.
The cold voice resounded again “Tell me! Who dared to hurt my mother!”. The whole Lotus sect trembled like it was hit by an earthquake.
