Chapter 531 - Chasing Another Disciple Out (2/2)

“Are you done?” Lonemoon’s silence was frightening. The corner of his lips twitched upward. “These are your true thoughts? You thought that I chased Zhi Lin out because I was purely biased toward Shen Ying?”

“Yes!” Jian Xing nodded profusely. “If Master was not biased toward her, given her skills-”

“Exactly how much do you know about her skills? Have you seen it for yourself?” Lonemoon interrupted him.

Jian Xing paused, not understanding what Lonemoon just said. Lonemoon smiled even more widely and coolly.

“Let me tell you – the combined power of Chef, Fatty, myself and everyone in this room cannot even match up to the power in just one of Shen Ying’s hands!” He scanned everybody in the arena and emphasized each word as he said, “Not only that, If she wanted everyone in this mortal continent to die, all she would have to do is think about it to make it happen. Do you really think that I am doing this out of my own selfish intentions?”

Everyone present stiffened. Even Jian Xing looked unconvinced.

“I didn’t want to wake her up because none of you would be able to withstand the consequences of that happening! She has been letting you off easy, not because her cultivation level is low.It’s because your powers are so low that she can’t be bothered!”

“…”

“Do you really think that she’s the sect master only in name?!”

“No, that can’t be…” Jian Xing glanced at Shen Ying in disbelief

“What do the spirit fruits, spirit herbs and other things have to do with you anyway? Don’t give yourself all of these excuses! You think that it’s more important for Zhi Lin to stay alive because Mushroom is nothing but a small demon? You think that Shen Ying is merely mortal, so her resources should be distributed to the rest of you? Hmph! At the end of the day, your logic is nothing but an excuse for you to do whatever you want to do and bully the kind-hearted!”

Jian Xing’s face drained of all color for the umpteenth time. He seemed to be realizing slowly that he had made a grave mistake. Something in him seemed to crack.

“Jian Xing…” Lonemoon turned to face him with a serious expression. “You’re right, everybody does have selfish intentions. You chose to give up Mushroom and save Zhi Lin – I can’t say for sure that that iss wrong. You’re also right to say that there’s no such thing as right and wrong in this world, but… there is definitely good and evil!” He raised his hand and conjured a seal. “My Invincible Sect can do without disciples who harbor evil thoughts in their hearts!”

“No… Master!” An unexplainable fear filled Jian Xing. He immediately tried to crawl toward Lonemoon.

This did not stop Lonemoon. He shot the spell toward Jian Xing, directly hitting his dantian. The spirit Qi around Jian Xing’s body began to deteriorate rapidly. Even the Nascent Soul in his consciousness dissipated. His youthful face aged before their eyes so that he now looked like a middle-aged man.

Jian Xing watched with fear as wrinkles covered his two hands. “Master…”” He raised his head to beg further.

Lonemoon used two fingers to tap the middle of his forehead. “The experience of learning the ways of the Dao on this mountain caused the changes in Zhi Lin. Get rid of this memory.”

Jian Xing’s eyes widened, but it was too late for him to resist. A thick wave of darkness overcame him as he fainted.
