After the remaining new outer disciples left to report to their duties, Yang Cheng looked at Jin Ming and asked: “Senior Brother Jin, the background of this Ling Xiao is not simple. Can we afford to offend him?”
“What’s there to fear? He is just a disciple of White Cloud Old Man, whereas we are backed by Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy. Do we need to fear him?”
At this moment, Li Anle had already recovered from those terrifying hallucinations. Now, he hated Ling Xiao to the death and would never agree to let him off.
“Anle is right. This Ling Xiao is too arrogant. We must extinguish his flame!”
Jin Ming nodded.
“If Senior Brother Jin thinks this way, then I have a good plan.”
Yang Cheng suddenly smiled.
“What?”
“Doesn’t he live in the same stone house as that Wu Xiang? As long as we make Wu Xiang mix this thing in his water, he can only let other people slaughter him. At that time, Anle, you can take revenge as long as you don’t kill or seriously cripple him.”
Yang Cheng said with a cold smile.
“Isn’t this a bit too sinister?”
Jin Ming frowned and said: “To deal with a new outer disciple, is it worthwhile for us to do this?”
“Senior Brother Jin, a gentleman doesn’t bother about trifles. You have also seen that kid’s arrogance. But as Half Great Masters and top ten outer disciples, if we directly provoke him, people will think that we are bullying the weak. However, if we make Wu Xiang do the deed, no one will know.”
Yang Cheng explained.
“Fine, you will be responsible for this matter. This time, I will be entering seclusion to see if I can break through to the Transcendent Realm.”
Jin Ming thought for a bit before answering.
“Senior Brother Jin is truly working hard. I guess you will enter the inner sect soon. At that time, don’t forget your junior brothers.”
Li Anle said with a smile.
“That’s natural.”
Jin Ming left.
That afternoon, Moonlight Sect’s Iron Mine
“I truly can’t agree with you all. Junior Brother Ling has never treated me badly. I can’t do that kind of thing!”
Wu Xiang was called to a remote place by Yang Cheng and Li Anle.
In any case, Li Anle was in charge of the iron mines. He could call anyone as he pleased. No one would dare ask any questions.
Bang!
Li Anle kicked Wu Xiang and cursed: “Trash, listen properly! If you don’t want to get beaten again and again in the future and continue doing such hard work, do as we said.”
Yang Cheng squatted beside Wu Xiang and said: “What are you afraid of? It’s not poison. It’ll just make him temporarily lose his strength. Moreover, we won’t kill him. You just need to mix this medicine in his water. After that, I will make sure that no one dares to bully you anymore.”
“No, no, absolutely not!”
Wu Xiang gritted his teeth and persisted.
Although he was dull and weak, he was a person with principle.
“Think! You are fool enough to reject a face-saving offer!”
Yang Chen’s attacks directly greeted Wu Xiang’s body.
Wu Xiang didn’t resist, simply protecting his vitals as he curled up.
In any case, he was already used to such matters. It would pass if he endured for a bit.
But things developed beyond his expectations. This time, Yang Cheng and Li Anle seemed to have gone crazy. Their attacks weren’t light.
Wu Xiang’s face became deathly pale, and finally, his hands gradually loosened, and his body stopped moving.
“Stop!”
Yang Cheng suddenly placed his hand near Wu Xiang’s nose.
“Not breathing!”
“No way!”
Li Anle was greatly frightened.
Yang Cheng injected his true essence to check on Wu Xiang’s situation.
“Truly dead!”
“What should we do, Senior Brother Yang? Although he is just an outer disciple, it is not easy to explain if he died.” Li Anle was extremely worried.
“Don’t be afraid. No one will care about the death of an outer disciple.”
Yang Cheng shook his head and said: “In the eyes of common people, entering the Moonlight Sect is a grand occasion, simply like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Although that is not wrong, outer disciples are nothing. Most of the time, they just do odd jobs unless they enter the inner sect!”
“It seems Senior Brother Hei Suo also said so. It’s truly not a big deal if one or two outer disciples die. As long as we have someone in the higher-ups, they’ll never pursue it.”
Li Anle realized upon thinking of what Hei Su had said.
“Yes, only after you become an inner disciple like Senior Brother Hei Suo, will you truly be a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Not only will the sect protect you, but you can also get more resources. What about outer disciples like us? We only receive ten low-grade spirit stones and ten spirit pills each month.”
Yang Cheng nodded.
In fact, it was already a lot compared to the outer world.
There was no need to mention the value of low-grade spirit stones.
The key point was these ten spirit pills. Allegedly, these spirit pills had a better effect than the best of the secular world.
Heavens Bone Changing Pills, which were regarded as treasures by White Cloud Great Master, didn’t even rank among the Moonlight Sect’s spirit pills.
In the dark night, Wu Xiang was thrown deep into the mountains by Yang Cheng and Li Anle.
……
“How come I’m feeling so restless?”
Ling Xiao was cultivating, but he couldn’t calm down.
As usual, Wu Xiang hadn’t returned, but he couldn’t help considering his bed.
I have to look for a chance to bring Senior Brother Wu from the mines. He is a good man.
He thought for a while before walking out of the stone house.
Originally, he had only planned to view the scenery, but after entering Enter Soul State, he coincidentally saw a scene that made him furious.
Yang Cheng and Li Anle threw Wu Xiang’s corpse to the ground and actually kicked it a few times.
“Senior Brother Yang, let’s forget about mixing this medicine, why don’t we just get rid of Ling Xiao like this Wu Xiang?”
Li Anle said with a smile.
“We can’t do that for the time being. We have to figure out his relationship with Hall Master Old Yang first. That old man is a protective person. If by chance the matter of killing Ling Xiao makes him come out of his cave, it will be a big deal.”
Yang Cheng shook his head.
“That kid is truly lucky. He actually got the attention of Hall Master Old Yang. I’m so envious.”
“Okay, forget about it. Let’s go back. Be careful, and don’t let other people see you.”
Yang Cheng said to Li Anle, and they quickly left towards the iron mine.
Wu Xiang’s corpse had been thrown five or six miles away from the iron mine. Moreover, there were many beasts, including demonic and fierce beasts, in this forest. They believed that Wu Xiang’s corpse would soon disappear.
“Bastards!”
Ling Xiao cursed angrily and sped to where Wu Xiang’s corpse had been thrown away. No matter what, they had been brothers; moreover, Wu Xiang had treated him well. He couldn’t just watch this person’s body being thrown in the wilderness for a beast to take it away.
Ling Xiao used Cloud dragon Divine Walk with all his strength. His speed was so fast that he simply couldn’t be seen. If those other disciples saw his current speed, their jaws would have fallen in surprise.
“Senior Brother Wu!”
Fortunately, he was fast enough. By the time he arrived, no beast had yet approached Wu Xiang’s corpse.
“The body is still warm.”
Ling Xiao touched Wu Xiang’s form before injecting his soul power into Wu Xiang’s body.
Even if a person had died, as long as his or her soul was not dead, there would still be a chance. He did this to see if there was a chance to preserve Wu Xiang’s soul.
