Chapter 172
The plan to eliminate the Jalen Sect begins at dawn. Elder Ye has been spoiling Betty rotten, even more so once she found out her new disciple has the favor of a Divine Spirit Fox of the Lightning Aspect. She even managed to guilt Elder Song into making blueberry chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. A truly formidable feat.
Like the Golden Fields Sect, today’s target also has only a few Immortals as Elders and is fighting to establish a reputation, or was before they turned to banditry.
It’s agreed that Elder Song will be staying here with Elder Ye and Betty, in case the Shadowed Blade faces recriminations. If we have no immortals nearby it will be hard to pin anything on us, and even if they do, fighting above your weight class is admired by most Sects, not scorned like bullying the weak.
"You won’t be gone long, right?" Betty asks hopefully as we’re getting ready to leave. She looks like our mascot in her new Sect robes, but soon she will be a proper disciple, though not a full disciple for quite a while.
"We’ll be back tomorrow. Just spend the day meeting your new teacher and time will fly by." Karl assures her.
"Alright, good luck everybody!" She cheers us on, making the assembled disciples chuckle at her innocence.
"No zombies this time. As much fun as they are, it’s pretty obviously you when there’s zombies." Karl whispers to me as we’re leaving, making me laugh during my goodbye wave.
Fine, no zombies, but no massive nuke either. Maybe little ones." I pout.
"She’s got a point an object lesson should be messy." One of the disciples headed to do bandit control agrees.
