Chapter - 270 Visitors Drunk On Magical Lotus In the Green Willow Manor (2) (1/2)

Jing Kong's face showed suspicions. ”Have our Master and comrades fallen into the Ming Cult's hand?” she asked, ”As men of honor, shouldn't you tell us the truth?”

Zhou Dian laughed. ”Let me be frank to you: the Emei Sect came and without considering their own strength, attacked the Brightness Peak, so everybody from Mie Jue Shitai down to her last disciple were captured and detained in the underwater prison. Let them ponder over their own faults for eight years, ten years, then we'll talk about whether we should release them or not,” he said.

Peng Yingyu quickly said, ”Please don't mind Zhou Xiong's [Brother Zhou] joke; Mie Jue Shitai's divine energy is matchless, each of your fellow disciples' martial art is superior, how can they fall into Ming Cult's hand? Let us not talk any further; please return to Emei, I am sure you'll see each other then.”

Jing Kong half believed half doubted; she could not make up her mind. Wei Yixiao said, ”This Zhou Xiong loves to joke around. But do you think our Cult Leader would swindle juniors like you?”

The middle-aged woman said, ”The Devil Cult is always crafty, deceitful and sly; how can we believe anything you said?”

Tang Yang, the Flag Leader of the Flooding Water Flag waved his left hand; immediately the Five Element Flags spread out to surround the Emei disciples. The Gigantic Wood on the east, the Raging Fire on the south, the Sharp Metal on the west, the Flooding Water on the north, the Thick Earth moving outside the encirclement, ready to respond.

In a loud voice Yin Tianzheng said, ”Lao Fu [Old Man] is the White Browed Eagle King. I alone am enough to capture all of you juniors. The Ming Cult is showing mercy to you today; as younger generation you should think before you speak.” He spoke with a thunderous voice, shaking the Emei disciples' ear drums so that their ears were ringing and their minds were troubled; making them difficult to concentrate. Looking at his white eyebrows and white beard and witnessing his divine power their hearts shivered in fear; everybody was dumbstruck in amazement.

Zhang Wuji cupped his fists and said, ”Please convey my respect to your honorable master; tell her the Ming Cult's Zhang Wuji wishes her well.” Thereupon he led his people continue their journey to the east.

Tang Yang waited until Wei Yixiao, Yin Tianzheng and the other walked pass one by one before he waved his hand once again to recall the Five Element Flags. The Emei disciples watched this procession in awe; their hearts were filled with fear, their eyes followed Zhang Wuji and his entourage for a while, jaws dropped and speechless.

Peng Yingyu said, ”Jiaozhu, I believe there is something fishy here. Mie Jue Shitai and the others have left to the east; I couldn't think of any reason why they miss their disciples. Every sect every organization has their own special symbol for communicating with each other; how can they miss each other's track?”

They continued their journey while discussing this strange occurrence. They thought it was unfathomable to think this many Emei disciples to suddenly vanish in the desert. Zhang Wuji was concerned over Zhou Zhiruo's safety and well-being; but he was uncomfortable to share his thoughts with other people.
