Chapter 91 Reactions from all parties
"The situation is not optimistic; Li Wudao has most likely entered the Sword Ruins..."
Meeting their expectant gazes, Du Quan shook his head bitterly.
"what?!"
Murong Yan and Jiang Churan were shocked. After confirming the situation, their expressions turned grim.
"well........."
Murong Yan sighed deeply, giving up all hope.
Sword Ruins is a forbidden place where mortals who set foot there are almost certain to die. It is filled with too many strange rumors, and only the supreme emperor can enter and leave alive.
Beside her, Jiang Churan frowned, looking flustered, her palms sweating profusely.
She knew far more about the Sword Ruins than Murong Yan did.
That dark abyss harbors immense terror and is filled with perilous places. It ranks among the top in the seven forbidden zones of life on the continent, and is a dangerous place that even peerless powerhouses are extremely wary of.
Legend has it that several ancient emperors entered the Sword Ruins in their later years, but most of them never came out and disappeared without a trace, presumably dying inside.
When she had just attained the Emperor Realm, she also had the idea of taking a look at the Sword Ruins.
However, when she excitedly climbed a mountain ridge and looked into the depths of the Sword Ruins, she dared not go any further.
It was a deathly silent abyss. She saw a pair of eyes larger than copper bells, eerie and bloodthirsty, filled with chaos and a chilling aura.
They only exchanged one glance before she felt a sweet taste in her throat, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and a sharp pain shooting through her soul.
You should know that at that time she had already reached the Emperor Realm, although her realm was not yet stable.
It's truly terrifying that someone was injured without even knowing whether the other party was human or ghost, or what they looked like!
She dared not imagine what the consequences would be if she went deeper into it; the thought was terrifying.
Since then, she has developed an indescribable sense of awe towards the Sword Ruins and no longer sets foot there easily.
After returning, she consulted many ancient books, but without exception, there were no records about the depths of the Sword Ruins, not even a single word.
"It's my fault. I should have stopped him then, otherwise..."
Jiang Churan lowered her head, her eyes filled with sadness and regret.
Even Great Emperors dare not venture too deep into the Sword Ruins. For someone as lowly as Li Wudao, entering would be like a lamb entering a pack of wolves, with little chance of survival.
Now, she only hopes that the boy will linger on the outskirts, so that perhaps he will have a chance to come out alive.
“Jiang girl, don’t blame yourself. This is my fault. I failed to protect you.”
Du Quan, the master of Ziyun Peak, offered words of comfort in a low voice, his expression quite unnatural.
Ultimately, as a senior member of the sect, he failed to fulfill his duty to protect his disciple. Instead, he felt ashamed because his disciple had survived by chance.
"Alright, don't be so pessimistic..."
Murong Yan forced a smile, "That kid Wudao is destined for greatness. He even managed to evade the pursuit of a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation. Who knows, he might just be able to create a miracle."
That being said, he lacked confidence and even he himself found it hard to believe.
"To create a miracle..."
However, Jiang Churan was taken aback, muttering to herself as the image of Li Wudao involuntarily appeared in her mind.
For some reason, her restless mind calmed down considerably at this moment, and an unrealistic idea inexplicably arose in her mind.
Perhaps, Li Wudao really will be able to leave the Sword Ruins alive...
at the same time.
inner door.
Inside a lavishly decorated room.
Ruan Feisheng lay on the bed with a look of utter despair. His legs were abnormally swollen, and half of his body was wrapped in gauze, making him look like half a mummy. He was both pitiful and somewhat comical.
Two months have passed since he was taught a lesson by Li Wudao, and he is still unable to get out of bed, spending all his time in bed eating, drinking, and relieving himself.
"crunch-"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Several true disciples walked in together, went straight to the bed, and said mysteriously, "Junior Brother Ruan, we have good news, would you like to hear it?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested."
Ruan Fei lay on the bed, shaking his head, somewhat uninterested.
He's in such a sorry state that he's lost all interest in life, feels his future is bleak, and has no hope.
"This is definitely good news for Junior Brother Ruan..."
Seeing this, the group stopped keeping them in suspense and said directly, "You don't know yet, do you? That kid Li Wudao has gone missing. It seems he accidentally wandered into the Sword Ruins."
"Is this true?!"
"Absolutely true!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Fei's pupils dilated as if shaken, and he instantly perked up, sitting up abruptly.
"Haha, Heaven has taken pity on us! Who would have thought this damned brat would actually seek his own death!"
He laughed heartily, releasing all the negative emotions he had been holding back, and felt a joy he had never experienced before.
"hiss........"
The next moment, Ruan Fei's expression changed slightly, and he gasped.
He had aggravated his wound due to the vigorous posture, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, almost causing him to urinate.
After a long while, he finally calmed down, looked at the group, and said in surprise, "It is indeed good news. It's rare for you guys not to trick me."
Several of the true disciples burst into awkward laughter.
After a moment of silence, one of them hesitated before saying, "To be honest, we have a favor to ask of you. We hope that Junior Brother Ruan can lend each of us a thousand low-grade spirit stones for urgent use."
"I knew you guys wouldn't come here unless you had something important to say."
Ruan Fei glared at the group, "You haven't returned the spirit stones you borrowed from me last time."
The disciples smiled sheepishly, thinking they had failed, and turned to leave.
"Wait, it's not impossible to lend you spirit stones, but there's one condition."
Suddenly, Ruan Fei's eyes darted around, and he changed the subject, calling out to them.
“Junior Brother Ruan, please speak freely. Don’t just mention one condition, ten conditions are no problem.”
"That's right, as long as it's within our power."
Seeing their confident expressions,
A playful smirk appeared on Ruan Fei's lips. "What if I send you to teach a few outer disciples a lesson?"
"Ah... this..."
"Junior Brother Ruan, isn't this against the rules?"
Several disciples of the true master changed their expressions slightly, some of them not daring to respond.
Assaulting a fellow disciple is a serious offense, and could even land you in serious trouble.
"Don't rush to refuse. If you help me with this matter, I can promise each of you two thousand low-grade spirit stones, and you don't have to pay back any of the loans you've made before. How about it?"
Ruan Fei patiently and skillfully guided him.
"this........"
The expressions of the disciples shifted, some were tempted, and others were secretly torn.
"What, is this matter difficult to handle?"
Suddenly, Ruan Fei sneered, "Don't forget, if the dirty deeds you guys have done were exposed, you might not even be able to keep your status as true disciples!"
Upon hearing this, the young men's expressions changed instantly, and they all agreed in unison.
"Junior Brother Ruan's enemy is my enemy; he must be taught a severe lesson!"
"I'll go through fire and water for you, Junior Brother Ruan!"
The things they did included extortion, blackmail, and adultery.
If these evil deeds were made public, the sect would certainly not turn a blind eye and would definitely make an example of them.
Therefore, relatively speaking.
The crime of beating an outer disciple is less serious; at most, it would only result in some superficial injuries that would heal in a few days. It's impossible to really punish a true disciple severely.
"it is good!"
Ruan Fei laughed with satisfaction at the reactions of the others.
He immediately snorted, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help me up!"
Soon,
Several true disciples helped the limping Ruan Fei walk towards the outer sect.
"Li Wudao is dead. Let's see how you bunch of trash can stand against me now!"
Ruan Fei sneered inwardly, his expression somewhat ferocious.
In the past, in front of Lingbao Pavilion, he was slapped in public by Li Dabao, a lowly outer sect disciple, and became a laughing stock.
This was a huge stain on his reputation, and he could never get over it, desperately hoping that one day he could wash away the shame.
I thought revenge was a long way off.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better so quickly. Li Wudao had mistakenly entered a forbidden zone of life, which was practically the same as death, and he no longer had any worries.
Without Li Wudao's protection, Li Dabao and his few outer sect trash could be crushed by him with a wave of his hand.
"Let's torture them slowly, and make some interest today."
Ruan Fei felt a morbid sense of satisfaction, preparing to inflict the humiliation he had suffered at Li Wudao's hands on Li Dabao and the others.
