Following Ebenez's command, his disciples swarmed forward to seize Jared.
Upon seeing that, Zebediah quickly led Ghaylen's disciples to shield Jared behind them.
“What right do the lot of you have to seize him? Even if he's to be punished, it should be on the orders of Mr. Holt. Mr. Erdell has no right to do so!” Zebediah declared loudly.
He was right in that all rewards and punishments in the sect had to be ordered by the sect leader. Ebenez was not in charge of that, merely given the responsibility to distribute resources and evaluate the sect members.
He had no right to punish other elders' disciples in Emerald Cauldron Sect, and that was why Zebediah made that statement.
Unbeknownst to Zebediah, his remark hit Ebenez where it hurt. Ebenez was the second elder, yet he had no right to reward or punish Emerald Cauldron Sect's disciples. If Hosen were away, his power was even beneath that of Sigurd, the principal disciple.
“How dare you speak to me in such a manner when you're nothing more than an insignificant disciple! You're simply asking for it!”
Zebediah's words seemed to trigger something within Ebenez, causing him to frown. With a swift motion of his hand, he lightly waved at the man, sending him flying in the blink of an eye.
Zebediah hit the ground hard. His expression contorted into a mask of pain, making it evident that he was severely injured.
“Seize Jared immediately!” Ebenez instructed in a booming voice after sending Zebediah flying with a single slap.
At that moment, Jared's eyes were narrowed a fraction and stained with murderous intent. When Ebenez's disciples rushed forward, a terrifying aura burst forth from his body.
Like a tornado, it swiftly swept over Ebenez's disciples. The dozen of them were immediately sent flying. They all landed heavily amidst the ruins, and it was uncertain if they were still alive or dead.
When Ebenez saw that Jared even dared to make a move against his disciples right in front of him, he saw red.
