Chapter 32 – Strange development
The Dao Yi Sect seems unaware of the great demon's remains. If that's the case, then they must be here for...
His gaze unconsciously shifted to Ye Changqing and Jin Min behind Hongzun.
Even the Blue Bird found it a bit absurd. Such a grand formation, could it really be for an Inner Sect Disciple? But right now, there seemed to be no other explanation.
Could this Inner Sect Disciple be the offspring of some big shot in the Dao Yi Sect?
His eyes lingered on Jin Min, but until now, Blue Bird hadn't paid any attention to Ye Changqing.
However, as Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang landed beside Ye Changqing, fussing over him, Blue Bird's expression gradually became more colorful.
"Junior Brother Changqing, are you alright?"
"Are you hurt?"
"Good thing Xiao Bai was with you, otherwise it would have been dangerous."
"Next time you go on a mission, you must tell me. Senior Sister will accompany you personally."
Hearing the concerned voices of the two women, Blue Bird finally realized that these disciples were all here for this guy?
His mind was a bit twisted, looking at Hongzun, Blue Bird gritted his teeth and said.
"You... you all came for this guy?"
Just because of a Menial Disciple, the Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak personally came, along with thousands of disciples. This is just absurd.
In response, Hongzun calmly said.
"In the Dao Yi Sect, we don't distinguish between high and low. Once you're in the Dao Yi Sect, you're family. What's wrong with a Menial Disciple? We will save them just the same."
His words were righteous, but upon hearing them, Blue Bird's mouth twitched involuntarily. Who the hell would believe that?
Haven't enough Menial Disciples from your Dao Yi Sect died outside over the years? Not to mention Menial Disciples, even Outer and Inner Sect Disciples, have never seen your Dao Yi Sect react like this.
Finally, he understood, but the answer was hard for Blue Bird to accept.
The cause of everything was actually because of a Menial Disciple, and because of this Menial Disciple, so many people were drawn here, completely foiling their plans.
If he had known, he wouldn't have bothered hiding and would have acted directly.
Even if a Direct Disciple had taken action, it probably wouldn't have caused such a big reaction from the Dao Yi Sect.
With a cold gaze, he looked at Ye Changqing, who was talking with Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang. Suddenly feeling a chill, Ye Changqing also looked at Blue Bird.
From its expression, it seemed to want to remember him well and tear him apart in the future.
He was helpless inside. Don't look at me like that. I don't know what's going on either. I just used a Rescue Token, who knew it would cause such a commotion.
Unable to express his grievances, Blue Bird's next words left Ye Changqing utterly speechless.
"Despicable human, disguising as a Menial Disciple, fine, very well, Black Tiger Abyss will remember this."
In Blue Bird's eyes, Ye Changqing was definitely not a Menial Disciple, but deliberately disguised as one to make them lower their guard.
Such a cunning human, and they hadn't noticed a thing from start to finish. Damn it.
Facing Blue Bird's seemingly all-seeing gaze, Ye Changqing's mouth twitched. Damn it, you're really overacting. I really am a Menial Disciple, no disguise here.
But before Ye Changqing could speak, Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang, upon hearing Blue Bird's words, immediately shouted angrily.
"How dare you, at death's door, still threaten Junior Brother Changqing, courting death."
This beast had clearly targeted Ye Changqing, so they decided to kill it. After all, they couldn't let Junior Brother Changqing be in any danger.
Without waiting for Blue Bird to respond, Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang attacked directly.
Seeing this, Xu Jie also shouted.
"Protect Junior Brother Changqing, attack!"
"Attack!"
"Protect Junior Brother Changqing."
In an instant, thousands of Divine Sword Peak disciples attacked, charging at Blue Bird and the Black Ape.
Faced with such a large-scale assault, Blue Bird and the Black Ape were dumbfounded, especially hearing the disciples' chants.
Protect Junior Brother Changqing? With so many people, is protection even necessary? With this formation, who could even touch a hair on Ye Changqing's head?
They wanted to speak, but there was no chance. Under the disciples' attacks, even though Blue Bird and the Black Ape were at the Purple Demon realm, they were quickly slain.
To the end, Blue Bird's eyes remained open, still glaring at Ye Changqing, muttering.
"Despicable human..."
Seeing those eyes filled with unwillingness, regret, and resentment, Ye Changqing could only shake his head and smile wryly.
"I really am just a Menial Disciple, not lying to you, believe me."
Unfortunately, Blue Bird could no longer hear.
Meanwhile, the last two Purple Demons in the cave, upon seeing Hongzun appear, fled without hesitation, not lingering for a moment.
With the crisis resolved, many disciples surrounded Ye Changqing, showing concern, leaving him overwhelmed and repeatedly thanking them.
"Master, that beast mentioned a great demon's remains in Leshan Town. I think that's what they were after."
Xu Jie stood beside Hongzun and said. Hearing this, Hongzun nodded, seemingly unconcerned.
"A great demon's remains aren't much, but if left in Leshan Town, it will eventually cause trouble. You should personally go and bring those remains back to Divine Sword Peak."
He still didn't know why the great demon's remains appeared in Leshan Town, but Hongzun clearly didn't care.
Not to mention a great demon's remains, even a living great demon wouldn't be much to Hongzun, so he didn't pay it much mind and left it to Xu Jie to handle.
Hearing this, Xu Jie nodded and headed towards Leshan Town.
Meanwhile, in front of Ye Changqing, the disciples discussed the matter of Black Tiger Abyss, some expressing concern.
"I think that beast clearly holds a grudge against Junior Brother Changqing. Do you think Black Tiger Abyss will target him?"
"Possible, these beasts are all extremely cruel and vengeful."
"If so, we must be cautious. Junior Brother Changqing, you should be careful in the future."
"You can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. If Black Tiger Abyss holds a grudge, why don't we strike first and wipe them out, once and for all?"
"Senior Brother Wang has a point."
"Yes, yes, you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. If Black Tiger Abyss wants to target Junior Brother Changqing, we should strike first and eliminate them."
Listening to the discussions of his fellow disciples, Ye Changqing, the main character, was already at a loss.
Weren't we just having a normal conversation? Why are you suddenly talking about wiping out Black Tiger Abyss?
It seemed like he had just taken on a one-star scouting mission, but now not only had he slain three Purple Demons, but it also looked like they were planning to wipe out the entire Black Tiger Abyss. The way things were unfolding, Ye Changqing was increasingly at a loss.
