Chapter 52: Sold For A Good Price

Village Chief raised his eyebrows and said, ”If we end up in a life and death struggle, I’m afraid the Heavenly Devil Cult would have to suffer a great loss right? So why must we put pressure and be hard on each other? If the strength of your cult was to be cut greatly because of us disabled elderly, I bet the Imperial Preceptor would be glad to see it happen and take the chance to bring the Heavenly Devil Cult into his hands. What do you think?”

The young patriarch nodded, ”Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor is indeed looking for a chance to subdue our cult and make us pay allegiance to the Imperial Family. However, with the holy bible of our sacred cult missing and our sacred cult master being killed, we are no different from an exterminated cult. If brother remains obstinate, I’m afraid the little village which brother is protecting would have to clash with our sacred cult. Unfold the flags!”

The Elder of Discipline beside him bowed and replied, ”Yes, Patriarch. Unfold the flags!”

All three hundred and sixty hall masters took out huge flagpoles and unfolded their flags with a swish, letting the flags fluttered with the wind.

Qin Mu took a look and saw the three hundred and sixty flags becoming wider and wider. Every flag had an area of seven ares.

”Put away the flags,” the youth said.

Elder of Discipline shouted, ”Put away the flags!”

The huge flags were put away and as the surfaces of the flags vanished, Qin Mu saw tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners behind the flags. Each and every one of them had an imposing appearance and stood upright like spears. Without making a sound, they gave off a sense of incomparable austere!

Village Chief sighed, ”The Teleportation Flag of Heavenly Devil Cult surely lives up to its name. Just by unfolding and putting away the huge flags, tens of thousand divine arts practitioners had directly entered Great Ruins. It’s no wonder why Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor wants to subdue the Heavenly Devil Cult for himself. If he was to obtain the divine arts of Heavenly Devil Cult, Eternal Peace Empire’s army would sweep the whole world and conquer all the countries!”

Young patriarch sighed, ”Without a cult master, our sacred cult is merely like a sheet of loose sand today. For the past forty years, our Heavenly Devil Cult has been in a more and more precarious situation. I reckon that the Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor would be unable to bear it anymore and lay his hands on our cult. You and I are the same. We’re both getting old and have not much days left. Now I could only hope that we can choose an outstanding new cult master.”

Village Chief’s gaze flickered and said, ”And so the cult mistress who had killed the old cult master on their wedding night is your best candidate?”

Young patriarch nodded his head with a bitter smile, ”Brother, you should also know how hard it is to choose an outstanding cult master with wise. There may be a lot of followers in our Heavenly Devil Cult but not many are capable of taking over the role of cult master. Furthermore, for one to be able to match up to Cult Mistress is even impossible. Having no alternatives left, we could only search for Cult Mistress and welcome her back to the cult to take over the role as cult master.”

Village Chief looked at Granny Si with his head aching, ”I have heard that this cult mistress had killed your cult master, Li Tianxing, so why do you want her to assume the role of cult master instead of seeking revenge for the old cult master? Isn’t a huge disgrace to your cult when your cult master was killed?”

The eyes of young patriarch brightened as he smiled, ”Brother, don’t forget that we are a devil cult and can’t be surmised with logic. Since the new cult master had killed the old cult master, it just means that the new cult master is more capable therefore we naturally have to support her!”

Village Chief, as well as Qin Mu and Apothecary who were by the side, had queer expressions. There’s actually such a rule in Heavenly Devil Cult?

”Is there such a rule, granny? Apothecary asked.

Granny Si nodded her head in a daze.

Apothecary can’t help asking, ”Since there’s this rule, why didn’t you stay in Heavenly Devil Cult to be the new cult master after killing the old cult master?”

Granny Si replied with acerbity, ”After I had killed him, I had no face to remain in Heavenly Devil Cult. If I remained there, the devil in my heart would get worse.”

Apothecary still didn’t understand. From his understanding, it was already difficult to understand why Heavenly Devil Cult had spent forty years to look for the enemy that had killed the cult master to be the new cult master. It was even much more difficult to understand why Granny Si still had to hide and avoid them.

Village Chief gave a slight smile and told the young patriarch, ”If granny doesn’t want to go with you, you can’t take her away.”

Young patriarch frowned, ”I will be bringing back both Cult Mistress and the Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.”

Both men stared at each other.

Village Chief raised his teacup to see the visitor out, ”If the visitors don’t leave, I guess I’ll have to exterminate them. There are too many people in Heavenly Devil Cult so I wouldn’t be making coffins for them. The people from our generation are getting lesser and lesser. I really can’t bear to do this.”

Young patriarch raised his teacup and drank it all before placing it back down, rising from his chair, ”Same goes for me. However there are lesser people in your village, I can arrange for the coffins.”

”Hold it!”

Granny Si suddenly spoke and smiled, ”Village Chief, Apothecary, return to the village first. I’ll have a talk with Patriarch! If things go sour, we’ll then have a life and death struggle. If things go well, isn’t it great that everyone is happy?”

Village Chief gave Granny Si a glance and she smiled back, ”Don’t worry, at most I’ll just be abducted by them.”

Village Chief nodded his head, ”Apothecary, Mu’er, we shall go back first.”

Granny Si waited for them to return to the village before sitting down in front of the young patriarch and commanded, ”You may withdraw, Discipline.”

”Yes, Mistress.”

Elder of Discipline bowed and slowly withdrew.
