Chapter - 200 Coming And Going of a Messenger Brings a Laugh (7) (2/2)

A female disciple picked up the two shot down pigeons. She took a roll of paper out from the small tube tied on the white pigeon's leg and presented it to Jing Xuan. Jing Xuan unrolled the paper and read.

”Shifu,” she said, ”The enemy has found out our plan to besiege the Brightness Peak. This letter is an emergency call for help to the Heavenly Eagle Cult.” She looked at the other roll of paper and said, ”Exactly the same. Too bad the other pigeon escape from the net.”

”Why do you feel bad?” Miejue Shitai coldly said, ”Let the devils gather together. We'll wipe them out in one swoop. Won't it be a happy occasion? It will save us running around to the east and to the west looking for them.”

”Yes,” Jing Xuan said.

Hearing the words 'emergency call for help to the Heavenly Eagle Cult Heavenly Eagle Cult', Zhang Wuji was startled. ”Isn't the Heavenly Eagle Cult Leader my 'wai gong' [maternal grandfather]?” he mused, ”I wonder if he, the Senior, would come. Humph, this old nun is so arrogant; you may not necessarily be my Grandfather's match.”

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to help Zhu'er escape, but with this turn of events, he wanted to continue watching the drama unfold, thereupon he did not want to leave just yet.

Jing Xuan sternly asked the four white-robed men, ”Who else did you invite? How did you find out about the Six Major Sects' plan to besiege the Devil Cult?”

The four white-robed men laughed bitterly with their eyes to the sky, then suddenly they fell down to the ground, motionless. Two male disciples stooped down to take a look; they saw the contorted smile on the four men's faces, it was obvious that they stopped breathing.

”Shijie [older martial sister],” they called out in fear, ”They all dead!”

Jing Xuan indignantly said, ”The witches took poison to kill themselves. The poison is very lethal, the reaction was this quick.

Jing Xu said, ”Search them.”

”Yes!” four male disciples complied. They were about to search the corpses' pockets when Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said, ”Shixiong [martial brothers], be careful. There might be poisonous things hidden inside their pockets.”
