Chapter 1604 - 1499: Assassinating the Elder

If my memory serves me right, the woman in the purple robe, nicknamed Poisonous Spider, is an even more terrifying demon than Refining Dragon Child.

Refining Dragon Child is quite arrogant and has killed countless people, but he’s still a bit inferior compared to Poisonous Spider.

Even Refining Dragon Child is afraid of Poisonous Spider within the sect.

This shows just how frightening this woman is.

Poisonous Spider licked her lips, her eyes scanning the people of the Huashan Sect: "Tut tut tut, the young heroes understand well, but those two women are an eyesore. Once inside, kill them both. As for the other men, I want them all!"

She alone was actually planning to take down all eighteen male disciples of the Huashan Sect.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Huashan Sect were all extremely angry.

As the only two women in the sect, Ji Yue’Er said nothing, her face showing a murderous intent.

While Lei Xiuzhu bit her silver teeth: "Shameless woman, I heard you like to kill men after sleeping with them? Such indecent behavior can only be done by a disgusting woman like you!"

"Hee hee hee!" Poisonous Spider laughed shamelessly, her laughter echoing loudly: "What a spirited little sister, I’ve decided that later, I’ll personally cut out your tongue."

Lei Xiuzhu was slightly afraid, but she forced herself to coldly sneer: "Shameless woman, I hope you won’t be kneeling on the ground begging me for mercy then!"

"That’s enough! Stop your nonsense!"

At this moment, Cangkui, the Vice Sect Leader of the Wuji Sect, frowned: "Let’s activate the Heaven-Reaching Bowl now!"

Daoist Shan Xu looked at Lei Dingtian.

Lei Dingtian did not refuse and nodded.

"Activate."

Seeing this, Daoist Shan Xu coldly shouted, as Spiritual Qi gathered between his fingers.

The other three holders of the Heaven-Reaching Bowl did the same.

Immediately, the mouth of the Heaven-Reaching Bowl spurted out masses of light.

The masses of light floated towards the talented disciples.

"Get on." Liu Qinglong, having heard the elders’ instructions, knew these masses of light were the secret pathway into the Heaven-Reaching Bowl.

And by entering the Heaven-Reaching Bowl first, one could get a head start in exploring the terrain, searching for the Brocade Banner, and if things went smoothly, even ambushing disciples from rival sects, with benefits aplenty.

Understanding this, he was the first to lead the Wuji Sect’s disciples to leap towards the masses of light.

The people of the Huashan Sect and others didn’t know this, but upon seeing Liu Qinglong’s anxious expression, they vaguely understood the importance of the light.

"We shall move out too!"

Su Lingfeng was the first to act, vanishing into a mass of light.

The others, seeing this, rushed forward one after another.

Soon, both the Huashan Sect and the Wuji Sect’s talented disciples disappeared altogether, having all entered the world of the Heaven-Reaching Bowl!

...

The disciples were gone, and Daoist Shan Xu, Lei Dingtian, and the others withdrew their Spiritual Qi and returned to the ranks.

The grand formation of the Heaven-Reaching Bowl was activated by them, but whether the disciples could come out was not their concern.

As long as the five predetermined Brocade Banners could be found and they reached the designated spot, those disciples would naturally be able to come out.

"I noticed that it seems you are missing someone among you..."

At this moment, an elder from the Wuji Sect sneered: "What’s the matter? Could it be that your Huashan Sect even lacks enough successor disciples?"

These words were mocking and purely added insult to injury.

The higher-ups of the Huashan Sect all looked at Ji Xinhu with questioning eyes.

"Ji Xinhu, your disciple has embarrassed us so, aren’t you going to give an explanation?" Kong Denghui was the first to question.

"There’s nothing to say." Ji Xinhu said indifferently: "How to deal with it, you all can decide."

"Ha, what an unfeeling master indeed." After Kong Denghui sneered, he looked at Lei Dingtian and said: "Sect Leader Lei, I propose we capture Qin Hao and subject him to severe punishment!"

Lei Dingtian furrowed his brows slightly, feeling that this punishment was too severe.

Kong Denghui pressed on, saying: "Sect Leader, this person has affected the entire sect’s image, if not severely punished, how can we command respect in the future? Moreover, this person disobeyed orders, is disobedient, cowardly, and violates sect rules, why show leniency?"

"I also see no problem! However, the death penalty can be avoided, but severe punishment is unavoidable!"

Li Tongtian also stepped forward to suggest.

In the past, he might have instantly killed Qin Hao on the spot.

But after some interaction, he discovered Qin Hao was a potential seedling and couldn’t bear to kill him, so his suggestion was already a form of protection for Qin Hao.

Kong Denghui did not object. He wasn’t really concerned with the outcome.

He knew Ren Zhengfei was sent to assassinate Qin Hao, the latter certainly had no way out.

So he didn’t dwell on it too much.

Lei Dingtian fell into hesitation, but quickly made up his mind, feeling that Qin Hao’s offenses were grave, but not deserving of death.

He was about to issue an order, but then heard an elder by the city gate shout: "No good! Qin Hao has returned!"

What?

Instantly, all the higher-ups were taken aback, but soon suspicion arose in their hearts.

Qin Hao returned? But why is this a bad thing?

Judging by the elder’s demeanor, there seemed to be something else going on?

"What’s going on?"

Immediately, Lei Dingtian frowned and asked.

The elder pointed inside the sect, trembling: "Qin Hao... he... he actually says he wants to seek justice... and even turned over the main tent..."

Upon hearing this, the higher-ups were all moved.

Ji Xinhu frowned: "Could that boy be crazy?"

Li Tongtian’s face turned angrily: "That kid has such nerve!"

Only Kong Denghui’s face was extremely unpleasant, as if he was constipated.

Why did that little brat come back!

Could it be that Ren Zhengfei didn’t kill him? That’s impossible, isn’t it? Ren Zhengfei, after all, remained in the Qi Condensation Realm for so long, how could he fail to kill a mere Innate Realm junior!

Kong Denghui didn’t think further, but wore a coldly calculating expression, thinking of his escape route.

At this moment, Lei Dingtian waved his hand: "Let’s return to take a look first."

After saying that, he turned and said to Daoist Shan Xu: "We need to go back and deal with some matters first."

He then instructed several elders to stay behind, preparing to depart.

Suddenly.

An angry shout came from the sect: "You little brat, how dare you!"

Then, two voices, one after the other, rushed out.

The person in front seemed to be fleeing, astonishingly it was Kong Lingci.

And the person behind, full of killing intent, with Spiritual Qi surging, was actually Qin Hao!

"This..."

The higher-ups were stunned, only Kong Denghui’s expression turned grim as he shouted: "You little brat! Are you trying to rebel?!"

With that shout, Qin Hao’s body paused, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Utilizing this gap, Kong Lingci ran quickly to Lei Dingtian’s side, his face miserable as he said: "Sect Leader, this little brat wants to kill me for no reason after coming back! Please stand up for me and kill this guy!"

All the higher-ups frowned upon hearing this.

What’s going on with Qin Hao?

It’s one thing not to return for so long.

But to suddenly attack an elder upon returning!

Doesn’t he know that killing an elder is a major crime!

If nothing unexpected happens, he’s going to face the punishment of having his soul scattered!
