Chapter 54: Deserted Disciples



Chapter 54: Deserted Disciples

Elder Du Hanli was placed in a dilemma when his threat failed to frighten Elder Pao Huang.

Indeed, his Purple Scorpion Sect was known for their usage of poisons and Toxic Smoke was one of their specialties where their years of research finally came to bear fruit.

The Toxic Smoke was shaped like an alchemy pill, smooth and round with a spherical shape where they can easily throw it or crush it down to get ahead of their enemies.

The Toxic Smoke was extremely poisonous as it invaded the cultivator’s spiritual core where it’ll start to contaminate the process of absorbing and utilizing their true qi in a limited time.

Of course, there was an antidote for such a deadly poison but the cost of creating one is expensive so Elder Pao Huang knew they would never be willing to waste so many resources on their sect.

The Feather Wind Sect was weak and held the lowest ranking that is prone to have weak disciples, unlike the Purple Scorpion Sect where much talented youth joined for resources and knowledge.

“Hmph, even if we do not have an infinite amount of Toxic Smoke supply, my disciples are still stronger than yours. If we truly resort to fighting then the only one who will lose is you, Elder Pao Huang.” Elder Du Hanli smirked as he signaled his disciples.

“Tch, our disciples may be weak but at least each and every one of them is peerless people. They will never cower in fear of the strong.”

Elder Pao Huang retorted as he remained to stay focused and guard against Elder Du Hanli.

However, the rest of the disciples seem to think otherwise. They were afraid of the Purple Scorpion Sect as some of the disciples started dropping their swords into the ground.

Elder Pao Huang widened his eyes in surprise when he saw some of the disciples unarmed themselves in a life-and-death situation.

“What are the three of you doing right now? Hurry up and pick up your weapons or do you want to die defenseless.” Elder Pao Huang roared at the three disciples who held a pale face.

They were trembling in fear and ignored Elder Pao Huang as they knelt on the ground.

With a synergy tone, the three disciples exclaimed, “Elder Du Hanli is a magnanimous person. Please allow us to surrender to your sect and spare our lives.”

Elder Pao Huang trembles in anger as he raises his finger at the three disciples who have a spineless bone in their back. He couldn’t believe the words they utter and their shameless display of surrendering to the enemies in front of the other disciples.

Not only did they give up fighting, but they also lowered his other disciples’ morale in fighting against the Purple Scorpion Sect.

Meanwhile, in a hidden tree, Elder Jing was watching the three disciples in disappointment and expression filled with disgust at their behavior in a critical situation.

At this time, Yang Wei also caught up to Elder Jing in silence and appeared next to her before asking what happened.

Although he was pretty far away, he heard many shouting coming from this location and was concerned about the situation.

“Nothing much, just three of our disciples became traitors and sought refuges toward our enemies.” Elder Jing said calmly, almost like she wasn’t surprised to see the disciples of her sect abandon them quickly to join another powerful one.

Yang Wei remained calm and nodded his head slowly. “There’s nothing surprising to see them surrendering to a stronger foe. They want to survive and it’s their choice to become a traitor.”

“Mhmm, the choice is theirs but from now on, they will no longer have anything to do with our Feather Wind Sect.” Elder Jing replied softly as she gazed at the scene where Elder Pao Huang used his cultivation technique to thrash the three disciples.

However, Elder Pao Huang could only miss his attack as Elder Du Hanli threw some sort of powder to block his movement. Elder Pao Huang dodges the powder as he knew the substance should contain some poison and he cannot afford to be careless.

The three disciples also took this opportunity to escape toward the Purple Scorpion Sect where they kneel and bang their head in the ground.

“Thank you for saving us, Elder Du Hanli.” They said respectfully toward Elder Du Hanli, causing him to laugh heartily.

“Good, the three of you are indeed smart people who understand the current circumstances. I, Elder Du Hanli promised to let you live but you will have to kill the rest of the people in the Feather Wind Sect to prove your loyalty.” Elder Du Hanli said as he smiled wickedly.

The three disciples tremble in fear but since they have already submitted themselves to the Purple Scorpion Sect, they could only grit their teeth and comply with his words.

“We will do as you say, Elder Du Hanli,” The three disciples stood up and held a menacing look at the Feather Wind Sect.

“Xian Min, Zou Ling, and Lei Chen, you three shameless people. How could you betray our sect and seek refuge from our enemies?” A female disciple pointed her sword at them and shouted in anger.

“Junior-apprentice sister Lian, we are simply trying to survive and not die in this mysterious realm.” Xian Min replied calmly, almost like he didn’t do anything wrong and made the correct decision.

“Hmph, a bunch of spineless cowards and don’t call me Junior-apprentice sister. You are no longer qualified to call me that when you decide to sell yourself to the enemies.” Lian Xinyue snorted.

Xian Min’s expression darkened and without speaking any more nonsense, he started leaping forward to strike at Lian Xinyue. He wanted to prove himself useful to Elder DuHanli by showing his ruthless action toward his previous disciples.

Lian Xinyue was in disbelief by his swift action in striking her without any second thought. “Hmph, as expected of shameless people like you. Striking without warning. No wonder why you prefer the Purple Scorpion Sect.”

Afterward, Lian Xinyue swung toward Xian Min strikes as well, causing the sword to clang together.

However, Xian Min was in two cultivation stages higher than Lian Xinyue so she could only be at a disadvantage and retreat backward.

“Hahaha, Elder Pao Huang, do you see your so-called disciples? She can’t even withstand a strike from your deserted disciple, Xian Min,” Elder Du Hanli taunted and the rest of his disciples also burst out in laughter.
