Chapter 787: Hounded


Proofreader: Papatonks


Shriek~


With a sharp cry, the falcon swooped in on Lu Xie. He got so scared he wanted to run right away, but that was impossible with his wounded body. To fight back was an even worse decision with his meager power.


So he resorted to begging, “Wait, Grand Elder, I know Gui Hu is your disciple and never planned on harming him…”


“You take me for a three year old?”


Grand Elder mocked, “Gui Hu has a good body and for you to become the best in the sect, you’ll have to go through him. I know perfectly well how Venerable s.h.i.+ and the inner sect operates. And besides, you might not harm Gui Hu because of me, but what of Xie Wuyue? Humph, I know his nasty temper the most. He will leave nothing to chance, spare no one. With Gui Hu being part of Labor Office, he won’t be left alive. It’s safer if I just take him away.”


Grand Elder’s eyes flashed, he made a sign and the falcon’s talons took on a sharp glint.


It pa.s.sed through Lu Xie’s body and came out holding a green spider in its claws.


“Grand Elder, don’t! Please, let me go…” Lu Xie cried out in panic.


He finished his pleading with a mournful cry, the spider torn apart in the falcon’s claws. 


Lu Xie’s eyes became empty and he plopped on the ground.


Grand Elder sneered, “Didn’t I tell you? Don’t take me for a three year old. Was I supposed to let you live so you can come back for revenge? Humph…”


Grand Elder hastened over to Gui Hu and showed a vial. He took out recovery pills and shared them with the disciples.


“This is the antidote, take it and you’ll be fine.” Grand Elder spoke calmly. None hesitated and ate it.


In fifteen minutes, they all could move again.


Qi Changlong asked, “Grand Elder, what’s going on? Lu Xie said High Venerable wanted us here for special training but then poisoned us as we heard people dying behind us. Did they really ask outsiders to bring enemies here? What about High Venerable?”


“All he said was true.”


Grand Elder sighed, “Venerable s.h.i.+ planned ahead, and even brought Heaven Trailing Sect’s expert. I fear not even High Venerable can hold on.”


Qi Changlong frowned and clenched his fists in hatred, “I never thought that Venerable s.h.i.+ would sell the sect for power. And that Xie Wuyue, he was the previous Sect Leader! He’s so vile to join as well.”


“This is called l.u.s.t for power. If Xie Wuyue hadn’t joined, Venerable s.h.i.+ would’ve never do this…” Grand Elder sighed.


Bai Lian muttered, “Grand Elder, aren’t you with them? Since you did this for Gui Hu, why then didn’t you notify High Venerable beforehand?”


“Bai Lian, are you saying master sold out his sect?” Gui Hu glared at her, “Master just saved our lives!” 


Bai Lian only stared at Grand Elder, wanting an explanation.


Grand Elder looked hurt, nodding, “Yes, I am an inner sect elder, with Venerable s.h.i.+. But we have different goals. Venerable s.h.i.+ wants power in the sect and I want more resources to train my disciple. In any inner conflicts I stood by his side, but this time he sold out the sect and I could no longer do this.  


“However, Venerable s.h.i.+ was very cautious. When dealing with the two sects to attack us, he not once mentioned anything to any of us in the inner sect. All was done by him and Lu Xie. When we found out, it was already too late. I figured that when Xie Wuyue regained his seat, he will cull all those that stood with Zhuo Fan. Gui Hu might not escape, so I turned on them. You can believe what you want, but all I’ve done is for my disciple.”


“Master!” Gui Hu was touched to tears.


The others nodded, believing him for now. That was because they did not find any other reason why he’d save them.


He only did it to save Gui Hu and that meant saving them as well, his friends. The more people, the more they could correlate and the more the chances of Gui Hu to live.


This meant saving him and saving them.


“Come with me, I’ll sneak you out of the sect. We’re on the same team now. To survive Xie Wuyue’s pursuit, we must work together.”


Grand Elder coughed and his face grew hard.


Qi Changlong flicked his sleeve, his eyes filed with fire, “No, my grandfather and the others…”


“Your own life is at stake and you have time to worry about others?”


Grand Elder cut him off with a yell, “Heaven Trailing Sect and Mystical Heaven Sect have the place surrounded. But your grandfathers aren’t weak either. Maybe they can get out. But if you go back now, they will have to look after you and you’ll drag them down. I think that saving yourselves is the best way for you to help them.”


Qi Changlong’s mouth shook and his shoulders slumped powerlessly. Bai Lian understood his feelings and lowered her head.


The rest bit their lip, feeling hatred at being powerless.


Grand Elder said, “If you got that settled let’s go. Let’s go even if you’re unconvinced. Staying here won’t help anyone.”


Grand Elder took the lead, putting the roaring fire behind him.


Grand Elder was right, all they could do with their meager strength was to bury their hatred deep within. They would cull these traitorous sp.a.w.ns in the future.


Meanwhile, ten miles off Demon Scheming Sect, in a dark corner of a forest, the three fiends panted after their run. Seeing no one was behind them, they stopped to catch their breath.


“Curses, just how in the h.e.l.l did the sect fall so fast?” Fiend Yang looked at the others in disbelief.


They shook their heads.


Fiend Yang frowned, looking behind him in pain, “After living there for centuries, to see it gone like that… s.h.i.+t, who did this? The nine sects of western lands? I’m going straight to Double Dragon Manor. This revenge I must have!”


“Fiend Yang, something’s wrong about this.” Fiend Yin said, “Unless there’s an involvement outside of western lands, there’s no way they would not listen to Double Dragon Manor’s rules…”


Fiend Yang shouted, “You mean this was done by someone from other lands?”


“Bulls.h.i.+t!” A shout came followed by a palm attack on his back.


Startled, Fiend Yang struck back, “Enemy attack!”


Bam!


The two palm met and Fiend Yang’s fat body stood in his pot while the attacker was flung back and spat blood.


[Isn’t he weak?]


Startled, Fiend Yang blinked his eyes wide and laughed, “Sending someone so weak after us? They must want us to take revenge and kill them I see.”


“If I wasn’t hurt, a fatty like you wouldn’t have survived my palm!”


The man’s white hair was in disarray, covering his face yet easily recognized through his voice.


The fiends was startled. They cried, “Venerable Bai, why did you ambush me? Did you bring enemies over? Now you want to kill me?”


“Stop playing the victim when you already know who did this!” Venerable Bai roared and gnashed his teeth at them.


The trio was perplexed.


Venerable Bai mocked, “A bunch of fakers all of you. You and him have been pals for so long yet you don’t know his plan? If I had known, I’d killed him when we had the chance and push Steward Zhuo up…”


Venerable Bai was filled with regret.


“Who the h.e.l.l are you talking about?”


“He’s talking about me, Demon Scheming Sect’s true Sect Leader!” A cold voice came as Xie Wuyue led a dozen Ethereal Stage experts over…
