Lu Aotian looked around. “Where’s Xing’er?”
Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “You’re looking for jelly beans, right?”
Lu Aotian was embarrassed.
Xing’er had gone to the Flying Cloud Palace to get candy and had yet to come over.
The Saintess did have some in her hand. She sat on the roof with a bag of jelly beans and ate noisily.
Lu Aotian was craving it.
But there was no way he could snatch it over.
Lu Aotian said seriously, “Actually, I came here today to tell you a third piece of news. After Xiahou Yi became the City Lord, the sects on the island went to congratulate him… Those who didn’t go have been targeted. The Hundred Flowers Palace’s terrain is remote, but it shouldn’t be long before someone from the City Lord Manor comes. Prepare to deal with it.”
“Are you done?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Lu Aotian thought for a moment. “There’s one more.”
Everyone wanted to say, “How many do you have? Can you tell me all at once?”
Lu Aotian glanced at the Palace Lord and Ling Yun and said with a complicated expression, “The Walkabout Sect has been besieged.”
Wei Liulang asked, “Why is he besieging the Walkabout Sect?”
The Palace Lord said, “Because of the Hundred Flowers Palace. He’s cutting off its wings.”
Lu Aotian said, “That’s true.”
The Palace Lord looked at Lu Aotian. “Is the Fire Slaughter Sect alright?”
Lu Aotian’s eyes flashed. “We… are fine.”
Wei Liulang asked curiously, “How can you be fine? The Fire Slaughter Sect and the Hundred Flower Palace have more interactions!”
Everyone’s gaze landed on Lu Aotian’s face.
Lu Aotian cleared his throat. “I’ve joined Xiahou Yi.”
Xing’er, who had just brought the jelly beans into the house, said, “You’re out of jelly beans!”
Xing’er turned around and left angrily!
Lu Aotian was shocked and hurriedly chased after Xing’er. “Aiya! This… I was… Hey… Miss Xing’er… Wait! Listen to my explanation! Don’t be angry! My jelly beans!!!”
He had already run out, but he used a huge amount of willpower to turn back. “The Five Poison Sect led the siege. That’s all I have to say! Don’t say that I came today!”
Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “No wonder he wrapped himself up like that… Xiahou Yi’s movements are unbelievably fast.”
Wei Qing said, “He wants to catch everyone off guard and not give anyone a chance to react or turn around. It looks like he doesn’t care about the consequences and doesn’t have any order, but every step is actually carefully planned.”
Ghostfear thought for a moment. “Will it lure us away? Is he luring us save Ghost Concubine, and then he will take the opportunity to send people to attack the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Wei Qing said, “Now that the entire island is his pawn, even if we lure the tiger away, the Hundred Flowers Palace can only jump into this open scheme.”
Ling Yun, who had been silent, said, “No need.”
Everyone was stunned.
–
Outside the entrance of the Walkabout Sect, the Ghost Concubine was defeated by the Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master.
She fell heavily onto the stone lion at the door and collapsed to the ground in a sorry state, splashing out a large pool of scarlet blood.
“Sect Master!”
The disciples cried out.
The Ghost Concubine gritted her teeth. “Don’t come over!”
The disciples stopped in their tracks and clenched their fists tightly, looking at her with red eyes.
A handsome young man said angrily, “You pride yourselves on being a righteous sect, but more than ten sect masters joined forces to attack my master alone! What kind of heroes are you!”
Bang!
He was sent flying by the Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master.
“Junior Brother Ming!”
A few Walkabout Sect disciples immediately surrounded him.
The young man vomited blood. His body was stiff, and his hands and feet were trembling. He could not say another word.
A senior sister hugged him and cried bitterly. “Junior Brother Ming! Junior Brother Ming—”
The Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master said proudly, “This is what happens to you when your Walkabout Sect colludes with assassins.”
They had already said that he did not collude with the assassin, but the new City Lord was not Xiahou Qing and did not give the Walkabout Sect a chance to prove their innocence.
The Ghost Concubine lay on the ground and looked coldly at the sinister and vicious man. “Sect Master Doro, what do you want?”
The Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master casually came to her and looked down at her. “Kneel down and beg me. If you make me happy, perhaps I can consider sparing one or two disciples of your Walkabout Sect. Or perhaps, you can kowtow to me and I’ll let one go. Is that generous enough?”
“Sect Master! No!”
“No, Sect Master!”
“If we die, we die together! We’ll fight them to the death!”
The Ghost Concubine scolded angrily, “I said… retreat! I’m not dead yet. Can’t my words work?”
The disciples wiped their tears and gritted their teeth.
Ghost Concubine glanced at everyone and stood up while enduring the pain and weakness all over her body.
She was covered in injuries and had long lost her former glory, but her damaged body contained a rare pride in the world.
She said seriously, “I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. From today onwards, I’m no longer the Walkabout Sect Master.”
“Sect Master!”
The disciples’ expressions changed.
The Five Poison Sect Master also frowned.
Ghost Concubine said, “If I’m not the Sect Master, my crimes won’t implicate the Walkabout Sect, right?”
Everyone exchanged glances.
The Ghost Concubine continued, “Do you want to kill all the hundreds of disciples of the Walkabout Sect or leave them to serve the new City Lord? Everyone should have a choice, right? It’s fine if you kill them, but if you anger the new City Lord, I wonder if you can bear it.”
Everyone lowered their heads and chatted.
Obviously, the Ghost Concubine’s words had stunned them.
The Sect Master of the Seven Absolutes Sect asked loudly, “Are you really willing to be removed from your position as the Sect Master?”
Ghost Concubine said, “Yes.”
“Alright, if you abdicate your position as the Sect Master and return with us obediently, our Seven Absolutes Sect will not chase after the disciples of the Walkabout Sect today.”
“The same goes for our Arhat Hall.”
“The Sea Sands Gang agrees to you too!”
… .
Everyone expressed their stance, leaving only the Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master.
The Five Venoms Sect’s Sect Master took a step forward and grabbed her throat. “Are you really not afraid of death… Can you bear it alone? That’s a huge crime of murdering the City Lord. You’ll have your entire family exterminated!”
Ghost Concubine smiled coldly. “What a coincidence… I don’t have a home… let alone a family…”
She came alone and went away alone.
The Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master was so angry that his face twisted as he slapped her again.
After she was sent flying, the Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master was still angry. He used the most powerful poison needle of his sect and stabbed her body, letting her experience the pain of having her heart devoured!
“Master!”
“Sect Master!”
The Ghost Concubine got up bit by bit and said weakly but firmly, “Wei Ran, listen up!”
A young woman stepped out and choked. “Master.”
“Kneel!”
Ghost Concubine’s body swayed.
She couldn’t hold on much longer.
Wei Ran knelt down in tears.
The Ghost Concubine took off the token from her waist. “From today onwards, you are… the 27th… Sect Master of the Walkabout Sect…”
Wei Ran took the token with both hands and cried uncontrollably. “Disciple… accepts the order…”
Gui Ji’s body trembled and she spat out another mouthful of blood.
Wei Ran’s face turned pale. “Master—”
“I’m… not you… Master… I… have nothing to do with the Walkabout Sect…”
Ghost Concubine fell into a pool of blood.
