Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 59: Aftermath



Chapter 59: Aftermath

When Yang Wei returned to Elder Jing, he wasn’t surprised to see many more corpses piling up in one corner.

They were all from the Purple Scorpion Sect and Elder Pao Huang held a disbelief expression on his face as he stared at Elder Jing who was casually standing still.

“Hmm, you’re back already.” Elder Jing said softly when she saw Yang Wei approaching closer to her.

Yang Wei nodded his head and replied, “Mhmm, just an exhausted old man, nothing too difficult to kill.”

Lian Xinyue gasped in shock when she heard Yang Wei’s remark on killing a Nascent Soul cultivator to be nothing difficult.

‘Yang Wei is clearly in the Qi Condensation realm so how is it possible for him to kill a cultivator that’s higher than him by three realms?’ Lian Xinyue questioned inwardly as her mouth was wide open.

Lian Xinyue didn’t know about Xiao Wei, the battle spirit that Yang Wei has hidden specifically to avoid others from learning his secret so she was confused about how he killed Elder Du Hanli.

However, Elder Jing knew about this so she wasn’t surprised about the result.

“You still took more time than I expected for you to finish off Elder Du Hanli, so for your punishment…” Elder Jing said before sending him a mental transmission to finish her last words.

“You shall cook dinner for me tonight.”

Yang Wei gladly smiled and said, “It’ll be my pleasure to do that for you.” Afterward, he started helping the other disciples to clean up the battlefield.

While Yang Wei helped the others out, Lian Xinyue could no longer resist her curiosity as she approached Elder Jing.

“E-Elder Jing did you really believe Yang Wei was capable enough to kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator,” Lian Xinyue asked, hoping to receive some information to clear her doubts.

However, Elder Jing’s expression darkened when Lian Xinyue dared to doubt the abilities of Yang Wei.

“You should practice hard yourself to see if you can achieve the feat that Yang Wei did instead of doubting him.” Elder Jing said and vanished from her position, leaving the dazed Lian Xinyue.

‘W-Why did Elder Jing get mad at me? I was simply asking for clarification.’ Lian Xinyue asked inwardly as she couldn’t understand the sudden change in behavior from Elder Jing.

Elder Jing was quiet most of the time unless it was a disciple accepting her mission and failed to meet her standard would she get mad and thrashed them harshly.

This was the first time that Elder Jing got angry at someone for something else other than messing up her alchemy experience.

Lian Xinyue sneaked a glance at Yang Wei who was looting the corpse and asked inwardly, ‘Just what is his relationship with Elder Jing?’

Sometime later, when all the disciples managed to clean the battlefield and loot everything thoroughly, Elder Pao Huang turned toward Elder Jing to ask about their next plan.

“Elder Jing, the Pagoda would soon appear so what do you suggest we do as we wait for its appearance.” Elder Pao Huang asked respectfully, especially when he witnessed the prowess of Elder Jing.

Although he was a sect elder like Elder Jing, their status and power were as vast as heaven and Earth. Therefore, even if he was older in age, Elder Jing was more authoritative because, in the cultivation world, power is what gains people status.

Elder Jing ponders for a while before saying, “We should find a safe place to camp since the disciples are exhausted from fighting. Although I did most of the work, their psychology has been affected when they almost met their death.”

Elder Pao Huang nodded before glancing at three people with a solemn and disgusted expression. “Then what about these three traitors that left us in a crucial time.”

The three traitors were none other than Zou Ling, Lei Chen, and Xian Min who is currently unconscious since he burned his blood essence.

Zou Ling and Lei Chen cried in tears as they bang their heads into the ground as they pleaded for mercy.

“Elder Pao Huang, Elder Jing, forgive us, we were forced into deserting. We didn’t have a choice and if we could go back in time, we would never ever desert the sect again.”

Their eyes were dripping tears with their nose running down with snot. It was a disturbing scene of people crying aloud.

“Hmph, leaving the sect when it is in danger and even dared to raise your weapon against your former disciple is truly admirable for a scoundrel.” Elder Jing scoffed as she turned her back toward them.

She was disgusted to even look at them in the eyes as she needed to watch Yang Wei from afar to clear her mood. Of course, Yang Wei was too occupied in his thought process about what to cook for dinner to notice that Elder Jing was glancing at him.

“No, please forgive us Elder Jing. it will never happen again, we swear upon heaven.” Zou Ling and Lei Chen continued to cry and begged for forgiveness.

If they couldn’t obtain the sect’s forgiveness then they would be killed right here and even if they managed to get back outside, no sect would be willing to accept deserted disciples.

Elder Jing no longer bothered with them as she signaled Yang Wei to come with her. Yang Wei didn’t say anything further as he followed behind Elder Jing, leaving Elder Pao Huang, Lian Xinyue, and the rest of the disciples to decide what to do with them.

“Have you decided on what to cook for me? Remember, it better be tasty or I’m going to wring your head off.” Elder Jing said teasingly as she could finally breathe some fresh air.

She was suffocated there when she had to deal with the Purple Scorpion Sect and her own sect disciple’s conduct.

Yang Wei wasn’t a fool to not know that Elder Jing preferred to be alone, away from those third-rate acting for forgiveness. If they can betray their sect once then it means they can betray it twice, thrice, and even more.

“I plan to cook you a beggar chicken and it’s famous in my hometown.” Yang Wei said happily, causing Elder Jing to raise her eyebrow in surprise for a cuisine she never heard of.
