BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138 Trouble Brewing
"Tell me clearly. What happened." the third elder said.
"Yes, elder. The bandits arrived, and senior sister and You Feng came out to face them. You Feng said something about the leader being only in the pseudo Xiantian realm. He collapsed almost immediately, and it seemed that he was poisoned by You Feng.
But after that, there was a problem. The fight was not over yet. For some reason, You Feng was looking for some one named Gray or something. It was weird. And he seemed to think that that person was senior sister. She nodded, and immediately after that, You Feng attacked her.
The fight went on, and then the bandit leader surprised everyone by surprise attacking them and detonating himself." I said.
"Impossible. How could the bandit move after being poisoned by the branch leader? There is something wrong with this story." the pill elder said with shock.
"I am just recounting the happenings of the fight. I have no idea what poison was used. But I was not the only person here. Everyone here, including the bandits, will tell you that the two fought. In fact, I think that at the end, I also heard You Feng say something. I was on the ground, and could not get up. But I am sure that he survived the self destruction, and so did senior sister. What happened after that, I do not know." I said.
This was not what happened. I had to change a lot of things. But I had to make sure that the pill tower would be the one taking the hit. I was already a little guilty that I was forced to kill a core disciple of my own sect.
Now, I hoped that I could make it up to the sect by giving them the pill tower on a silver platter. They would be able to get something back from this.
"I see. Is he telling the truth, third elder?" Cai Yuan, the person from the Cai family, asked. His voice was getting a little fuzzy.
"He seems to be telling the truth. I am not sure if this is the complete truth, but he did not falter when he spoke about them fighting. And he is a mere Core Formation child. He would not be able to affect the battle even a little." the third elder said.
"Then what happened is clear then. I will inform the family, and let all hell rain upon that branch. I always wondered why the Yurin City needed a Pill Tower when there was a Pill Tower in the Cairin City. A twin tower was unnecessary. And unlike this tower, Master Mu is heavily respected. I think that we should talk with him, and crush this to the ground to create a memorial for the family head\'s beloved daughter." Cai Yuan said.
The woman paused for a moment. She then looked at the third elder.
"I am not strong enough. I am a mere honorary guard. We are reinforcements from the Cairin Pill tower. I am afraid that what you say, you have to say to master Mu." the woman shook his head.
"What irony. To think that Master Mu would have such an unreasonable woman beneath her. I would think that he would send someone trustworthy here. Surely, he knew that the disciples of the sky heavens sect were imprisoned here." the third elder said.
"Master Mu is in secluded cultivation. We are here on the orders of the Pill Elder." she glanced at the Pill elder who was on the ground.
"Of course, it has to come back to you. I knew that it was going to bite me in the back to let someone like you in charge of the twin towers when the two branch leaders went to seclusion. Now then, I don\'t care anymore. Cai Yian, you take care of this. I do not any part of your revenge. I just want to know where half of my disciples disappeared. If anything happened to them, then I will do your work for you." he said, looking around.
"The first batch might have gone to the wrong floor, elder." I smiled at him, trying to get in his good books.
He saw right through me.
"Stop talking now. You have said what you needed to say. Go back and recuperate. I will look into that matter myself. Ki\'er, take care of this. I want you to hold the ground and get everyone to the sect. It is not right to stay here anymore. As guests, we have overstayed out welcome, clearly." the third elder smiled.
"Third elder! Do not forget, the alliance between our two powers go much further than just missions. We coexist with each other!" the pill elder shouted.
"Do not think that we cannot survive without you. Only the new disciples come here. Remember that. You are not worth sending any important disciples. The only reason a Core Disciple came here was because we wanted to annihilate the bandits. Clearly, that was a mistake on our part." he scoffed.
"I will take care of this, master. Please look for the disciples. We cannot spend too much time here. We cannot leave the sect for this much time. It is not safe for the sect." a sweet voice came from next to the third elder.
A woman, younger than Cai Yun\'er, appeared. She looked like a fairy descending from the heavens. She looked at all of us.
"Senior sister Ji Ki\'er!" one of the rare female disciples cried out with glee.
Ji Ki\'er smiled at the person who called her out.
"I hope that you are recovering. I will make sure that all of you are taken to the sect. Until then, I hope that these pills are sufficient for you to recover."
With that, a few hundred pills appeared in front of her.
