Chapter 349: Chapter 9 List_2

Their Mana was bound, thereby unable to isolate their five senses. This intensified their anguish, far exceeding the limits of pain that a mortal could endure.

As the saying goes, ‘killing a man is as easy as nodding your head’, seeing this scene, even the long-faced Cultivator couldn’t bear it any longer, preparing to open his mouth in anger.

But then he suddenly heard the Cultivator with the surname Feng, nod slightly:

“Well done.”

The young disciple, upon hearing these words, was stunned for a moment, and then began to feel overjoyed inside.

However, he humbly responded with respect:

“All thanks to your mentorship, Elder.”

He then proceeded to share all the information they had garnered from their interrogations, expressing regret at the end:

“Unfortunately, we still don’t know who abducted the Class II Alchemists.”

“No matter.”

The Feng Cultivator seemed undisturbed, and on the contrary, showed an unusual hint of a smile on his face.

The long-faced Cultivator felt displeased upon seeing this, but he had to suppress it.

In front of Senior Brother Feng, he dared not to cause any mischief.

After receiving praise from the Feng Cultivator, the young disciple was ecstatic.

This Elder Feng held a very high position within the sect. Below the Golden Core, very few could rival him. Moreover, he had real power in his hands. Being favoured by him would not only bring many conveniences in his actions, but would also likely bring many benefits.

Perhaps even he might have the chance to taste the flavor of those female rogue cultivators of Foundation Establishment…

Just at that moment, the Feng Cultivator suddenly spoke coldly:

“Junior Brother Yin, Yu Xi is cruel and cunning, with impure thoughts. Looking at him, he doesn’t resemble a Cultivator. You shall strip him of his cultivation base and expel him from the sect.”

Yu Xi?

Isn’t that… my name?

The young disciple was taken aback, almost thinking he had misheard. Raising his head hastily, he saw the smile remain on Elder Feng’s face, but his eyes lacked any warmth for him.

As this realization hit him, he was filled with a chilling dread!

The surrounding disciples of Huifeng Valley all had stupefied looks on their faces.

You were just praising him, and now you want to cripple him?

The long-faced Cultivator also started upon hearing this, but immediately reacting, he hurriedly said:

“Brother, we should rethink! Yu Xi is simply immature. These minor errors are insignificant. We all had made such mistakes when we were young…”

“Humph! You’re muddled, Junior Brother! Times have now changed!”

“Before the valley master arrived, it was said that one of either Xuli Sect or Danlong School is most likely responsible for the abduction. With our Huifeng Valley being weaker in comparison, we should naturally ally with rogue cultivators.”

“I hear the valley master is already in contact with two Golden Core rogue cultivators, Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai. Inviting them to join our sect.”

The Feng Cultivator’s face turned icy, pointing at the still-dazed young disciple and laughed coldly:

“This kid, at this very moment, treated the rogue cultivators ruthlessly… is he trying to make these rogues hate our Huifeng Valley?”

“The harm he has done to our Valley is such that even if he died a thousand times, it wouldn’t be enough!”

“Merely being expelled from the sect and losing his cultivation base is me conceding due to his past as a fellow Sect member!”

Hearing what Feng Cultivator had said, the long-faced Cultivator didn’t know what to say at that moment. Although he had always looked out for the younger ones, he was still a little unreconciled:

“Even if Yu Xi is guilty, the punishment should follow once we return to the Sect. Isn’t it hasty to do such a thing now, Senior Brother? Moreover, this was also per your instructions…”

“Humph! Hasty? Now is precisely the right time!”

Feng Cultivator’s eyes sparkled with shrewdness. He interrupted, saying:

“Don’t forget, that old fellow in Zhenling Palace is on his last legs. This is a rare opportunity! Without the help of these rogue Cultivators, how do you think we can grab a piece of the pie from Xuli Sect?”

“In the recent years, the rogue Cultivators had been frightened by us. Those in the Hundred Arts category among them, would they dare to have any contact with us?”

“By disposing of this guy now, who would doubt the attitude Huifeng Valley holds towards rogue Cultivators? Naturally, everyone in Yan State would know!”

“At the end of it all, would Masters Xin, Jin, Shen, and the like, have any other options?”

Feng Cultivator counter-asked:

“Is this not a good opportunity, using a disciple who’s unworthy to begin with? How do you think the Valley leaders and Elders will decide, were they around?

“This…”

At the words of Feng Cultivator, the long-faced Cultivator was momentarily taken aback.

He had to admit begrudgingly that there was no flaw in what Feng Cultivator had said.

For the price of one disciple with a bad temperament, even if it somewhat tarnished the sect’s dignity, it may offer them a chance to win over the rogue cultivators. It was such a deal that even the Valley Masters would find exciting, let alone he.

With this thought, under the horrified gaze of the young disciple Yu Xi, the long-faced Cultivator finally gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Xi.

“Uncle! Uncle! No, Please don’t…No!!!”

It didn’t take long.

The disciples of Huifeng Valley, led by Feng Cultivator, soared off, piercing the air as they went.

Only a bunch of rogue Cultivators left, driven by rage and resentment, surrounding the mana-drained Yu Xi.

Yu Xi’s eyes were filled with overwhelming terror.

“No!”

His shrill screamed echoing, startling flock of birds in every direction.

…

Wang Ba was quietly driving his flying Magic Tool, quietly landing at a stream on a mountain.

While using his spiritual sense to inspect his body, just in case someone had tampered, leaving behind something that could be used for tracking.

Simultaneously, he couldn’t help but recall what he had obtained earlier, after implanting a thought in the mind of that middle-aged round-faced Cultivator using the Power of the Yin God.

“As I thought, Huifeng Valley is unable to restrain itself.”

Wang Ba’s face took on a serious expression.

“On one hand, they are trying to recruit those who excel in the Hundred Arts among rogue Cultivators, amassing strength. On the other hand, they are secretly sounding out the other two Sects…”

“I’m afraid Xuli Sect and Danlong School are doing the same.”
