Chapter 67: The Game of Theif and mouse -2
Sect Master, Saintess, Beta Fang, and two supreme elders were gathered here.
With narrowed eyes, glancing at Saintess, Ling'r, The supreme elder also known as onion elder continued, "I had a bad dream, it seems crows want to gang up upon the mighty eagle,"
[ Onion: a body shape of short height and round belly ]
With those words, the Onion Elder took out, the gifted, bottle of pills from Bai Lung during yesterday's night, and presented it in front of the sect master.
Firstly, the onion elder took out a healing pill and showed it to the Sect Master.
"Are these... Lord Ranked Pills?" The Sect Master questioned, amazement evident in his voice... The quality and rarity of these pills are highly superior.
The Onion Elder nodded, "Indeed. The Holy Envoy bestowed these upon me. They are not only of Lord Rank but...they are also of Saint grade Quality with pill intent,"
He boasted raising his chest high with his nose already touching the sky above, just a thought of holding a Lord rank pill with saint-grade quality is enough to let his upcoming seven generations die in peace.
Hearing this, the sect master's eyes widened with realization.
The timing of such a gift, amidst the turmoil, wasn't a mere coincidence.
He also recalls what his daughter mentioned a few days ago, "The Holy Envoy is unpredictable yet he notices everything like a hawk,"
Knowing these,
Sect Master connected the dots inside his tiny brain, he has lived for countless years and explored the words...so, it's not hard to fathom that, the Holy envoy seems to have predicted the attack.
' Wait... What is the meaning of this? Is Holy Envoy telling me that, the Onion elder is the only Grand Elder I can trust?... Hmm, most likely,' The sect master said in his mind and these few days many elders seemed to be rebelling against the sect.
...
As the onion Elder showed all the pills, Sect Master's heart began to beat faster and faster.
"Healing pill, body enhancing pill, bone forging pill, qi condensing pill... Is Holy Envoy perhaps hinting that something bad is going to happen real soon, so heal up and make yourself stronger?"
'It seems, the Holy Envoy has calculated everything, tsk! What a sly junior,' the Sect master thought.
Till now, the Sect master knew that the sect was going to get an attack soon, but it seems the attack might happen sooner than expected.
...
Oh Lord Heavens!
Talk about the devil and it lingers around...
Another Supreme Elder, known by the nickname Bamboo Elder, suddenly jolted from his seat,
"It's Guan Yu's honor bell..." The Bamboo elder spoke lightly.

( Outside the Chamber )
"Honourable Sect Master! Terrible news! Countless powerful forces are gathered outside the Sect, including those from; The Grand Sunflower Sect, The Black Hound Sect, The Yun Clan, and periodic members of the West Mountain Bandit group, It seems they're planning a siege on us!" One of the elders reported with a worried tone.
All the while, the Sect Master and Great Elder were still having a light discussion, inside.
"Ah, It Seems, the Holy Envoy had already predicted the outcome..." The sect master said.
"Oh, forgive me sect master but... It was my misstep that, I handed the pill right when the trouble lies ahead," the onion elder apologized feeling a little guilty that he should have handed the pills yesterday, that way, the pills could have been better absorbed.
'Whatever... I don't have time now,' The Sect master thought while he hurriedly swallowed the Healing pill, without waiting.
Not just that, but one by one he consumed other Pills too such as; Body Enhancing pill, Qi Condensing Pill, Physique Enhancing Pill... Not caring about the side effects, because the thing that has to happen to his body has already happened.
His main weapon is already useless due to over overconsumption of pills, as such, worrying about side effects is useless.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
As soon as the Sect Master consumed those pills, he could feel his body rapidly healing, all his wounds and injuries vanished in an instant with a dim glow surrounding his body.
At the same time, the Sect master could feel his Qi getting unstable, His blood was boiling and he could feel his Cultivation rapidly increasing.
The effect of the pill was very great, however, such pills can only be taken once over a century, otherwise, a serious backlash would occur causing 'Pill poisoning' which would slowly dry the spiritual roots of someone.
A dry spiritual root is way worse than a dry ricky.
...
"Great Elder Luang, You should also take these pills, they have extraordinary qualities," Sect Master said while returning the bottle of pills back to Onion Elder.
"No! No! I dare not, I already become old, it's best suited for Young Talents who have limitless potential such as Saintess, Beta Fang or Xiao Tian... " Onion denied it, after all, he knew such precious pills were wasted on him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's only right if you consume it, after all, these are the rewards bestowed upon you" The Sect master hurriedly opened his mouth.
" B-But " Onion Elder was in a dilemma, it was true that the Holy Envoy handed him the pills, but these pills could be better utilized by others.

Meanwhile,
Bai Lung who was sitting crossed-legged in his room, suddenly opened his menacing sinister eyes, with a sinister smirk tugged on his lips.
He had originally planned to stay neutral, but now he was on the side of the sect master, not to mention, that he even handed some pills as 'Goodwill'
That way, the sect master will stay under the control of Bai Lung, though on whole, the Heaven Fall sect isn't that powerful after all, there exist powerful Diamond rank sects
But if a gold-rank sect can be controlled under your fingertip, why not control it?
Life is a long sinister path, one needs to learn how to kill a bull with only a smile.
If not, his life won't last long.
