Chapter 310 - Complete Destruction of Green Robes Sect (2/2)

For some reason, he couldn’t get to like this person. Although both were orphans, somehow he got above him all the time, from back in the village, till now. While he was the one who always greeted the villagers with “uncle”s and “aunt”s, they preferred the boy who didn’t really talk. Apparently he was the lucky one to join the immortal sect, he somehow joined the larger Honesty Sect, as if he was born to be in his way.

“Rest assured, I won’t use fire,” he said somewhat anxiously, as if he wanted to prove something. “We are both at the third level of Qi…”

“No!” Yi Qing rejected it immediately.

“Why?” he was stunned, before he snorted and challenged him, “are you unable to beat me, and are you afraid of being defeated by me?”

“Hmm, I can’t beat you!” He hadn’t learned sword dharma yet.

“…” Jing Qi was speechless, hadn’t imagined that he would actually admit it. Immediately he felt like he punched onto cotton, both stuffy and awkward.

Yi Qing gave it a thought and added, “And am not free, too!” He still had to cook for Master later. He had finally come up with twenty dishes.

After that, without waiting for a response, he turned and walked into Disciples’ Hall, and got the chubby boy to follow him as well.

Jing Qi was the only one left. His face was dark, and the hand beside his body clenched.

Inside the audience hall.

Lou Hong the sect master sighed, looked at Lonemoon beside him and said, “I didn’t imagine that the demons are so rampant now that they actually dared to gather and attack an immortal sect. Green Robes Sect was careless momentarily, and therefore suffered from their attack.”

“Didn’t they use the Protective Mountain Array?” Lonemoon frowned. “By right, every sect has its Protective Mountain Array, designed to both block attack from enemies and provide time for rescue. Green Robes Sect was not far from Honesty Sect. Even if the rescue did not come on time, it shouldn’t have led to a total destruction?”

“Regarding this, I’m also not sure why their Protective Mountain Array was not activated.” Lou Hong shook his head, “When I got the news, it was already too late. However, when I arrived, I found the demonic aura of a Demon Monarch of the tenth level. I’m afraid even if the array was activated, it wouldn’t stop those demons.”

“Tenth level?” The Demon Monarch had come himself? He suddenly remembered a certain rabbit. Since when had the demons become so courageous too? “What are so many demons doing attacking a small lower-tier sect?”

“I can’t understand this too!” Lou Hong’s face was also full of confusion. They didn’t interact much with Green Robes Sect in ordinary days, but he knew that it was an even poorer sect. Beside the sect master, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator, there were few of even Golden Core disciples. “When Junior Brother and I received the news and rushed over, almost the whole sect had been massacred.”

“Shen Ying, what do you think happened?” Lonemoon looked at Shen Ying.

“Ah?” Shen Ying looked up.

“The demons attacked Green Robes Sect,” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. We are in a meeting, at any rate, can you please focus, or even just pretend to? “Green Robes Sect is located less than a hundred miles away from here. Towards the south…” He remembered her lack of a sense of direction and changed his way of talking, “It was the immortal sect near the village that Yi Qing stayed at previously.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying looked as if she only just started to understand.

“Demons never act collectively.” Lonemoon frowned. “That village first, and then Green Robes Sect, saw so many demons appearing together, and all around the same area. There must have been some other reason.”

Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, and only after a long while did she say, “Must be that alarm…”

As I expected… Lonemoon’s heart felt tight.
