Chapter 63 Devil (1/2)
The remaining nearly one-thousand-strong Inner Disciples were plunged into despair and panic. Xiao Chen carefully guarded the people behind him. He was no match for the demon followers of the Devil's Practice atop of the dark clouds. Meanwhile, the coquettish man and woman were at least in the later stage of the Core Forming Realm. The mysterious cloaked man who had been silent all along was even more unfathomable.
First Elder slapped on a sheepish, bitter smile.”It's fate that the Fortune of our Three Pure Sect has run out, but can you tell me how did you all drug us with the Mystical Immortal Fragrance?”
The coquettish man smiled gently. ”You must direct that question at your dear disciple.”
A disciple of the Devils' sects appeared from behind him. The man slowly took down the hood of his cloak. It was Mo Yu. Right then, he had the mark of the devil's seal between his eyebrows as well as black lips. He had clearly fallen for the Devil's Practice.
”How could it be Senior Brother Mo?!”
Everyone was in disbelief. First Elder was even trembling. Not even in his wildest dreams would he have imagined his most trusted disciple would be a spy of the Devil's Practice.
”Yu'er... You! You...!” He spat out a mouthful of blood. Fourth Elder, who stood next to him, immediately supported him before shooting Mo Yu a glare. ”Mo Yu, the Three Pure Sect has treated you well. How could you do such a thing?!”
”Treat me well?” Mo Yu looked up and burst out laughing. He then gave Fourth Elder a sharp look. ”You people forced my hand! I'm the one who's supposed to enter the Violet Manor but I don't need you to send me there now. The Sacred Sect will send me to the Violet Manor, hahaha...”
Countless disciples below began pleading with him. ”Senior Brother Mo, please consider the fact that we were once disciples of the same sect and let us go! Did you forget that you personally brought us into the sect...?”
However, Mo Yu turned a deaf ear and scanned the people below coldly. Xiao Chen clenched his fingers so tightly that they creaked from the pressure. He hated himself for not killing Mo Yu on the Floating Platform. It was his fault for being soft-hearted then and harmed the three princes and Lil Ruo...
Moments later, Mo Yu looked coldly at Dao Feng and the other two. ”Three Perfected Immortals of the Skygale Sect, you can leave now. This doesn't involve you anymore.”
Dao Feng and his two companions hesitated. The coquettish man and woman were easy to deal with, but the cloaked man terrified them. They had no choice but to drop their goal today.
Perfected Immortal Dao Feng looked at Mo Yu before pointing to Xiao Chen. ”We won't participate in the affairs of your sect, but we must take this person away.”
Mo Yu sneered, ”Don't think that I don't know what the hell your Skygale Sect is up to. You can't take him. Choose one or two from the rest as a thank-you for today.”
Perfected Immortal Gong Ye was furious, ”Two? Are we a charity case?”
”Like it or not, it's up to you! If you don't want it, scram!” Mo Yu bellowed coldly. He couldn't even be bothered to give them a second look.
Perfected Immortal Dao Feng raised his hand and stopped Gong Ye from talking. ”Fine. We'll take two.” He then scanned the crowd.
The disciples were looking at Dao Feng and the other two, hoping that they would be chosen to be taken away. However, Dao Feng's gaze didn't fall on them but on Murong Xian'er and Luo Shangyan standing behind Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen instantly knew something bad was about to happen. He couldn't stop it even though he wanted to. Dao Feng crossed the distance and swiftly captured Murong Xian'er and Luo Shangyan.
”Ah! Brother Xiao Chen, save me!”
”Xian'er! Senior Sister Luo!” Xiao Chen made a move, about to chase after them. The coquettish man in the midair lifted his sleeve, producing a burst of strong wind that sent him straight back. ”Only two can leave. The rest must stay!”
Dao Feng looked at the Elders, ”From today onward, these two are the disciples of the Skygale Sect. They no longer have anything to do with the Three Pure Sect.” The three of them immediately stepped on their swords and directly flew up the sky.
”Xian'er!” Xiao Chen's eyes widened but there was nothing that he could do. Xiao Han tugged at him and said softly, ”Maybe it's the safest outcome for them to leave now.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Mo Yu who hovered in midair, his eyes full of anger. He wanted nothing more than to break Mo Yu into pieces. Mo Yu sneered at him and said, ”I told you a long ago that when an ant climbs to a place that it doesn't belong to, it must prepare to be trampled. You're now being trampled by me.”
”I'll kill you!” Xiao Chen rose into the sky and hit him with his palm. However, before he could approach, the coquettish man flicked his sleeve and sent him flying back.
”That's enough. It's been half an hour. Elder Yan, have you thought it over?” the coquettish man asked placidly while looking at First Elder.
First Elder smiled miserably. ”Hehe! Back then, the Immortal King tried to prevent you Devil practitioners from stealing the Spiritual Meridian. Did you think the Immortal King will leave a loophole?”
”Is that so? Well, excuse me. We'll have to take the souls of 2,000 of your disciples and see if we can break the formation.” The coquettish man casually moved his fingers to cast a spell, conjuring a large pouch out of thin air. In a flash, he summoned the souls of more than twenty people.
”Stop!” Bai Ying yelled. Out of the twenty people whose souls were stolen earlier, one of them was her disciple, Cheng Ying.
Xiao Wan'er hid behind Xiao Chen and clasped her mouth as she witnessed Cheng Ying's soul being taken away. She tried her best to not make a sound as she cried.
”Stop?” Mo Yu sneered. With a stretch of his hand, he crossed space to grab Bai Ying's neck. ”Bai Ying, oh, Bai Ying. You didn't think you'll fall to this state, did you? If you kneel down and beg me now, perhaps I can spare your life.”
Bai Ying shot him a sharp glare. ”Mo Yu, you bullied your teachers and destroyed your ancestors. The heavens will not look kindly upon you. When the Sect Leader returns one day, he'll punish you even if he has to chase you to the ends of the earth!”
Second Elder was panicking as well. ”Mo Yu! Let go of your Martial Uncle!”
