Chapter 777 - 775: Sect Master’s Good-for-Nothing Daughter 49
[With tens of thousands of spiritual beasts, after so many years, even the weakest are at the Divine Split stage, and there are many at the Tribulation stage. Once the Spirit Beast Light is activated, enveloping the entire Sect, do you think those two siblings can be their match?] Yan Zui spoke confidently, [Let alone them, I’d lose a layer of skin facing such odds, and would probably have to burn a pile of experience points just to escape.]
As he spoke, he glanced at Ah Chen and found that she was smiling at him.
Fortunately, he was in the form of a cat now, so he didn’t think anyone could discern much from a cat’s face, feeling rather confident.
[You see, she’s not afraid at all, it’s clear she’s just watching the show, she must have a plan.]
[Now I even suspect that the misfortunes those two siblings faced back then may have something to do with her.] Yan Zui paused, suddenly stating that based on his many years of interaction with her, he didn’t think Pei Chen was the least bit foolish; on the contrary, being able to conceal her natural talent as a Spirit Beast Master until now, she was even more restrained than he was.
At that moment, the battle took a turn.
Jin Congmo repelled his opponent once again, showing not a hint of fatigue.
The faces of the people from the Silver Moon Sect soured as they looked at him with fear flickering in their eyes.
Just then, Jin Congmo reached into the crowd and grabbed several Sect disciples, then looked at Pei Feixue, "Sect Master, what do you say now? Shall we just watch these disciples and Pei Chen die, or have those who were involved in my father’s murder take their own lives here?"
"It seems you all don’t believe I’m capable of such actions, so let me kill two to show you."
With that, Jin Congmo grabbed two disciples, about to act, utterly ignoring their pleas for mercy.
He said, "Blame your master, she is too cruel."
As it turned out, the two Jin Congmo grabbed were Fu Yue and Liu Yao, who couldn’t believe Jin Congmo was such a person.
"Congmo, they are innocent!" Zhuo Hong suddenly spoke up, the recent events were too shocking, only now did she snap back to reality, seeing that Fu Yue and Liu Yao were about to meet their demise at Jin Congmo’s hands, she finally spoke.
Jin Congmo glanced coolly at Zhuo Hong, leaving her heart pounding in fear.
The man who once looked at her with affection now had nothing but coldness in his eyes, not a trace of gentleness. At that moment she understood, maybe Jin Congmo never liked her, and that realization, of course, was sad, but the current situation was obviously more dangerous.
"Ah Hong, make your choice, will you side with the Silver Moon Sect, or with me?"
Zhuo Hong’s face turned deathly pale; the choice was undoubtedly difficult.
If she chose Jin Congmo, she’d have to abandon any reputation and it would mean betraying the Sect.
If she didn’t choose him, she might die here today; he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her.
If she could, she would choose the Silver Moon Sect, even if she had grievances against her master, she understood someone like Jin Congmo was the true terror. Staying by his side, who knows when the knife would fall on her.
She wanted to live, to transcend the tribulation and become immortal.
The one she liked, she cared about somewhat, but not that much.
In the span of a few breaths, Zhuo Hong walked to Jin Congshuang’s side.
Jin Congmo let out a pleased smile, quite satisfied: "Ah Hong, as long as you stand with me, I will treat you well, haven’t we been fine all these years?"
Zhuo Hong faced the many gazes in silence.
She only wished to live.
With so many in the Sect unable to deal with him, if she dared to choose the Silver Moon Sect, she’d undoubtedly be the first to die.
She had just detected the killing intent in Jin Congmo’s eyes, too afraid to gamble.
"Sister-in-law." Jin Congshuang smiled at Zhuo Hong, "Since you’ve chosen our side, you can kill Pei Chen, didn’t you dislike her?"
Jin Congshuang’s move clearly left Zhuo Hong no chance of turning back.
Zhuo Hong trembled, incredulous.
Even if she disliked Pei Chen, was jealous of her being favored by their master, a wastrel blessed with unimaginable resources,
she never intended to harm a fellow disciple, merely aimed a few jabs in words or taunting remarks.
But now that she’d made her choice, if she didn’t follow Jin Congshuang’s orders, she’d still face death.
Holding her sword, she gazed at Ah Chen’s fair neck.
"Second Junior Sister, no!" Xie Jiuqing also just realized, being relatively close, he rushed over to stop her but was struck away by Jin Congshuang, gravely injured.
She showed some regret: "I do admire Brother Xie, but we are fundamentally incompatible, though if Brother Xie chooses to leave the Silver Moon Sect, we can still be friends."
"By the way, if any disciple wishes to leave the Silver Moon Sect today, my brother and I won’t kill you."
As soon as she finished, Fu Yue and Liu Yao were quick to shout, "I choose to leave the Silver Moon Sect, from now on I’ll no longer be its disciple, don’t kill me!"
"I sever ties with Pei Feixue and will no longer be her disciple." They hurriedly added.
Pei Feixue gave them a mere glance, without any anger in her eyes.
To be honest, when they chose to leave, Pei Feixue felt a relief in her heart.
They hadn’t committed a fundamental wrong that couldn’t be undone in their master-disciple bond. Now that they abandoned the Sect and her as their master at such a crucial moment, it signified their bond was finally severed.
If she weren’t a master, if she weren’t a Sect Master, she’d have spoiled her daughter even more, but she bore the responsibility of leading a Sect.
With new candidates to assume her role, stepping down, she just wanted to be a mother, a wife, and still Pei Feixue who pursued the path of immortality.
In an instant, Pei Feixue’s realm unexpectedly advanced, astonishing many.
Pei Feixue remained unfazed since she had already sensed breakthrough was near. Actually, her state of mind had been bottlenecked for many years, she thought it was due to her daughter, but it turned out not just that.
Jin Congmo was somewhat surprised, but indifferent.
Even if she surpassed the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, the siblings could leave at will today, let alone when it wasn’t the case.
"Brother Xie, they’ve all made their choices, how about you?" Jin Congshuang continued asking with a smile, if they could have another heavenly spirit root of the younger generation leave the Silver Moon Sect, it would truly be a laughingstock.
Xie Jiuqing remained cold: "I will not leave the Sect."
Through the Sect Master candidate trials, he discovered his own shortcomings, indeed it was quite a blow.
But he wouldn’t leave the Sect.
"Don’t you dislike Pei Chen? Aren’t you dissatisfied with Pei Feixue like the others? With Brother Xie’s talent, he doesn’t need the Silver Moon Sect at all." Jin Congshuang said again.
Xie Jiuqing responded: "I don’t like Junior Sister’s personality," after a pause, he continued, "I am simply like this, I’ve become aware of my own shortcomings."
"I have no dissatisfaction with Master, I’ve said, it’s just my nature."
"Perhaps I have many flaws in terms of the bigger picture, unfit to be a Sect Master candidate, but committing treachery against the Sect and Master is something I won’t do, rather die than yield!"
