Chapter 54: Deserted Disciples (1/2)
Elder Du Hanli was placed in a dilemma when his threat failed to frighten Elder Pao Huang.
Indeed, his Purple Scorpion Sect was known for their usage of poisons and Toxic Smoke was one of their specialties where their years of research finally came to bear fruit.
The Toxic Smoke was shaped like an alchemy pill, smooth and round with a spherical shape where they can easily throw it or crush it down to get ahead of their enemies.
The Toxic Smoke was extremely poisonous as it invaded the cultivator's spiritual core where it'll start to contaminate the process of absorbing and utilizing their true qi in a limited time.
Of course, there was an antidote for such a deadly poison but the cost of creating one is expensive so Elder Pao Huang knew they would never be willing to waste so many resources on their sect.
The Feather Wind Sect was weak and held the lowest ranking that is prone to have weak disciples, unlike the Purple Scorpion Sect where much talented youth joined for resources and knowledge.
”Hmph, even if we do not have an infinite amount of Toxic Smoke supply, my disciples are still stronger than yours. If we truly resort to fighting then the only one who will lose is you, Elder Pao Huang.” Elder Du Hanli smirked as he signaled his disciples.
”Tch, our disciples may be weak but at least each and every one of them is peerless people. They will never cower in fear of the strong.”
Elder Pao Huang retorted as he remained to stay focused and guard against Elder Du Hanli.
However, the rest of the disciples seem to think otherwise. They were afraid of the Purple Scorpion Sect as some of the disciples started dropping their swords into the ground.
Elder Pao Huang widened his eyes in surprise when he saw some of the disciples unarmed themselves in a life-and-death situation.
”What are the three of you doing right now? Hurry up and pick up your weapons or do you want to die defenseless.” Elder Pao Huang roared at the three disciples who held a pale face.
They were trembling in fear and ignored Elder Pao Huang as they knelt on the ground.
With a synergy tone, the three disciples exclaimed, ”Elder Du Hanli is a magnanimous person. Please allow us to surrender to your sect and spare our lives.”
Elder Pao Huang trembles in anger as he raises his finger at the three disciples who have a spineless bone in their back. He couldn't believe the words they utter and their shameless display of surrendering to the enemies in front of the other disciples.
Not only did they give up fighting, but they also lowered his other disciples' morale in fighting against the Purple Scorpion Sect.
Meanwhile, in a hidden tree, Elder Jing was watching the three disciples in disappointment and expression filled with disgust at their behavior in a critical situation.
At this time, Yang Wei also caught up to Elder Jing in silence and appeared next to her before asking what happened.
