Chapter 576 The Conversation Between the Two Elders
Chapter 576 The Conversation Between the Two Elders
It's important to understand that the Blood Fiend Sect, to which they belong, is called the Demonic Sect by the world not because it was suppressed by the so-called righteous people of the victorious side after losing in the power struggle.
In fact, the Blood Fiend Sect has always been known for its cruelty and ruthlessness. Its doctrine is to burn, kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil deeds, vowing to turn the entire Qingjiang County upside down.
In the eyes of the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators, ordinary people are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, who can be bullied and tortured at will.
Within the Blood Fiend Sect, the cruel and ruthless law of the jungle prevails: survival of the fittest.
The strong survive, the weak are eliminated.
Only those with great strength and ruthless methods can gain a foothold in the sect and achieve a higher status.
Moreover, these Blood Fiend Sect disciples did not appear as glamorous as they seemed on the surface.
Half of what they worked so hard to obtain had to be handed over to the sect for confiscation, leaving them with only a mere 50%.
In contrast, the disciples of those so-called righteous sects don't need to hand over anything to the sect; all their gains are theirs.
This unfairness also made the disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect even more jealous of the disciples of the righteous sects.
Now look what's happened! This mission was a complete failure. Not only did they fail to gain any more benefits, but the two elders also had to deduct another 20% of their earnings!
Now, their hearts were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction!
However, although the cultivators were indignant, they dared not utter a single complaint, nor even show any resentment.
After all, they are demonic cultivators, and the law of the jungle is the true way of survival!
If you anger the two elders at the head of the table, you might face a fatal disaster.
Just then, Ying Zhibai saw a group of cultivators kneeling on the ground below, their faces showing a satisfied expression.
He cleared his throat and then slowly said, "Since you all have no objection to this decision, why are you still kneeling here like idiots? Do you want to keep kneeling like this forever?"
"Alright, I have summoned you all here today because I have something to tell you."
Firstly, the task of Erdeng is currently progressing rather poorly, so we have come here specifically to issue a warning.
Secondly, it is to inform you that Venerable Xuanwu will be visiting this place soon. At that time, you must be careful in your words and actions, and absolutely must not displease Venerable Xuanwu. Remember this!
Bai Yu spoke earnestly, his pace neither too fast nor too slow, as if everything was under his control.
Upon hearing Ying Zhibai's words, all the cultivators present pondered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm, saying in unison, "We will follow the elder's teachings."
Seeing that everyone understood, Ying Zhibai nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then continued to give instructions:
"In that case, you may return to your original location and await orders until Venerable Xuanwu arrives."
For the next few days, we only need to lie low and wait; there's no need to make any further moves.
After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
After receiving Ying Zhibai's permission, the group of cultivators turned and left as if they had been granted a pardon.
At the same time, they felt a sense of relief, finally able to put their minds at ease, no longer needing to face the two unfathomably powerful elders.
Although they are demonic cultivators who never value the lives of others and treat human life as worthless as grass, this only applies to other people.
However, when it comes to one's own safety, that's a different story.
After all, who would willingly give up their precious life? They value their lives highly and would never do anything foolish enough to throw their lives away.
After the other cultivators left, only Wei Tao and Ying Zhibai remained at the scene.
"Brother Wei, try not to make any more moves lately. This Golden Core cultivator's cave has attracted quite a few powerful cultivators, and even I suffered a loss!" Ying Zhibai seemed to be reminding Wei Tao.
Wei Tao stared in astonishment at Ying Zhibai, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and stammered, "Brother Ying... could it be that you were really injured a few nights ago?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He knew Ying Zhibai's strength; with Ying Zhibai's strength at the Pseudo-Core Realm, he wouldn't be afraid of facing even a large number of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
However, Ying Zhibai remained unusually calm and composed in the face of Wei Tao's surprised reaction, without even a change in expression.
He simply replied indifferently, "Hmph, it's all my fault for underestimating them before. I never expected that Qingyun Sect disciples would actually infiltrate this operation."
From his words, it seemed that Ying Zhibai didn't care about the failure he had experienced a few days ago at all, and didn't take it to heart at all.
"What? There are actually disciples of the Qingyun Sect among these people?"
Upon hearing this news, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel a surge of worry.
He originally thought these people were just cultivators from third-rate forces, but he never expected that they would involve a powerful disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
"If no other changes occur, these disciples of the Qingyun Sect should be the fellow disciples that Wu Ming brought to help you, the ones you mentioned before."
Moreover, judging from their demeanor, they were most likely invited by Wu Ming to seek revenge on you.
The disciple at the late Foundation Establishment stage poses little threat to you, but you need to be especially careful with the disciple at the peak Foundation Establishment stage. If you unfortunately encounter him, the consequences could be dire!
Ying Zhibai frowned and warned in a serious tone.
Upon hearing Ying Zhibai's words, Wei Tao felt a cold sweat pour down his forehead, while secretly rejoicing.
"So that's how it is! No wonder even Brother Lian Ying was no match for him; it turns out that disciples from the Qingyun Sect got involved."
"I was able to complete my mission safely that night, all thanks to Brother Ying's help. I thank you in advance!"
As he spoke, Wei Tao bowed deeply to Ying Zhibai.
However, Ying Zhibai did not take this to heart. He simply smiled slightly and confidently comforted Ying Zhibai:
"It's alright, there's no need to worry too much."
Even if disciples of the Qingyun Sect do appear, it will absolutely not change the final outcome of this operation.
"You must know, Venerable Xuanwu is about to arrive! Facing Venerable Xuanwu, who is at the Golden Core Realm, those so-called Qingyun Sect disciples are as fragile and vulnerable as chickens and dogs."
As he spoke, Ying Zhibai's lips curled into a smug smile, seemingly full of confidence in the battle that was about to unfold.
