Chapter 480 Settling Accounts
“Now it’s time for us to properly settle our accounts . ”
Shui Wuhen’s words caused quite a few people’s hearts to jump . Those people were the lackeys of the first monastery .
Sha Qitian, their strongest support, had been killed . They immediately had a bad feeling .
“You can all go to the law enforcement hall on your own and report your crimes . I’d advise you not try and hide anything, as that will just send you to your deaths,” said Shui Wuhen .
Those people immediately turned ashen . This time they really might be doomed . The monastery head was planning on using them to display her power and to completely transform the supermonastery’s atmosphere .
Most importantly, of the people present, there wasn’t a single one that was completely free of sin . Over these years, they had committed quite a few crimes while following the first monastery .
However, there was one thing that let them stay calm: they could just push the blame to Sha Qitian . It was Sha Qitian who had forced them to do everything, and they had been helpless .
In any case, Sha Qitian was already dead, and the dead could not testify . By doing this, at the very least, they should be able to keep their lives . At the same time, they understood Shui Wuhen’s intentions .
She didn’t necessarily want their lives . Instead, she wanted them to pile all the guilt on Sha Qitian . That could count as a favor to them . Otherwise, if this was investigated carefully, then once all their vile crimes were uncovered, they wouldn’t be able to escape the death penalty .
Thinking of that relieved many of them . They bowed towards Shui Wuhen and then began travelling towards the supermonastery to report to the law enforcement hall .
“Hey, you old guys from the first monastery, wait a second!”
Guo Ran suddenly interrupted when he saw the three Xiantian experts of the first monastery were about to leave . “You old codgers, hand back my spatial ring!”
Guo Ran and the others’ spatial rings had been taken away by the first monastery when they had been captured . Just thinking of that enraged him . That spatial ring contained the treasures he had obtained in the secret realm, and most importantly, the thing he needed for his livelihood was in there as well .
“Uh… they were already all taken to the storehouse by sect leader Sha,” explained one of the Elders . “How about I go get them now?”
“No need,” said Shui Wuhen .
“But monastery head…!” Guo Ran became panicked upon hearing this . His forging table was his life .
Before he could say anymore, Long Chen pulled on him . He wanted to hear what Shui Wuhen was going to say . At the very least, she had always been slightly biased towards them . She probably wouldn’t try to keep their treasures selfishly .
“Gather all your first monastery’s disciples . First, tell them not to touch anything within the monastery, and that people who do will be killed without exception .
“Then leave and go to the 108th monastery . As I see it, you’ve all stayed here for too long and have gotten too used to it . Changing your environment will definitely benefit your mental and physical health . At the very least, it should get rid of some of your hot temper .
“As for the 108th monastery’s disciples, well, it seems quite a few of you have already come . Since you’ve come, there’s no need to leave . This place will be your new territory,” said Shui Wuhen .
Every person was astonished . The first monastery and the 108th monastery were being switched? She was treating this too lightly, wasn’t she?
“Monastery head, this is a bit inappropriate . The rankings are always decided on the strength of the disciples . This is too unfair,” said Zhao Yongchang .
He had long since set his sights on the first monastery’s position . Now that Sha Qitian had died, only the second monastery had the qualifications to take the place of the first monastery .
“Oh, is that so? Then it’s very simple . Pick out any disciple from any monastery and have them challenge Long Chen . If they win, the first monastery’s position will be yours,” said Shui Wuhen .
Zhao Yongchang turned green . Find a disciple to challenge Long Chen? That was definitely a joke . Even two Xiantian sect leaders had been killed by Long Chen . Who would dare still challenge him?
Zhao Yongchang had an urge to slap himself . However, he was quite the sly fellow, and he smiled and cupped his fists at Ling Yun-zi . “Then congratulations brother Ling . You’ve become the youngest sect leader of the first monastery . ”
“Brother Zhao, you’re too courteous . Unfortunately, our sect leader is injured right now and can’t reply, so let this junior brother take his place . Brother Zhao, you really are an amazing person and a great ally! You’re actually the first to come congratulate us!” Guo Ran walked up and cupped his fists to Zhao Yongchang .
Zhao Yongchang went from green to black . He, a grand sect leader, was being called a brother by a disciple . That was absolutely humiliating .
Furthermore, when Guo Ran had called him an ‘ally’, he had raised his voice extra loud, filling it with disdain and contempt, pointing towards how he had fled as soon as it had become dangerous, but had come to suck up as soon as it was beneficial .
Looking at Zhao Yongchang who was holding back a stomach full of anger, Shui Wuhen couldn’t help finding it funny . At the same time, she truly found that Long Chen’s group was very interesting . They were definitely all marvels unafraid of anything .
Ignoring everything else, just the fact they had dared take out their weapons against that mysterious woman was enough to impress her immensely . Even she had been completely suppressed by her aura . It really must be nice to be young .
“You can all disperse now . The first monastery still has other guests they have to receive, so don’t create more trouble here,” said Shui Wuhen .
