Chapter 1714: Junior Brother, you've gone astray

Under the successive angry shouts of these few Human Emperor Palace disciples, the ground-rolling worms slowly walked away.

In the midst of their cursing, these few Human Emperor Palace disciples had not noticed that, along the way, the filth on their bodies kept increasing.

Obviously, someone had previously placed other filthy objects along the road, guiding these ground-rolling worms forward.

Xu Jie, hiding not far away, watched as these Human Emperor Palace disciples were pushed farther and farther by the ground-rolling worms, and sneered.

"You damned things, even if I can't kill you, I'll disgust you to death."

Actually, following Xu San's nature, he wanted to directly kill these Human Emperor Palace disciples, and yet he dared to scheme against Junior Brother Changqing—this isn't hanging oneself for longevity, is he tired of living?

If it weren't for Zhao Zhengping stopping him and telling himself to prioritize the bigger picture, these few Human Emperor Palace disciples would not have ended up like this right now.

Meanwhile, the more than ten junior brothers standing nearby, hearing the angry shouts fade away, each felt relieved yet also grew a hint of complex emotion in their eyes.

To be honest, offending anyone is fine, but you must not offend the Third Senior Brother—this method really is somewhat....................

They hadn't noticed Xu Jie and the others hiding in the dark, and moreover, these few Human Emperor Palace disciples now had no leisure to attend to Xu San and the others.

He himself could barely protect himself, so he could only let the ground-rolling worms push him along, not knowing where they would take him, his heart panicking.

In this situation, who still has leisure to pay attention to other matters?

Moreover, the stench that assailed the nose also made several people's heads buzz, and their Ling Zhi seemed somewhat not fully clear.

Under the angry shouts all along the way, these few Human Emperor Palace disciples were pushed by the ground-rolling worms all the way to the foot of the mountain.

The largest latrine in the Dao Yi Shengdi, this latrine was mainly built for the Menial Disciples to use.

After all, once one becomes an official disciple, there's basically no use for it, and Menial Disciples seldom use it either.

Therefore, this latrine usually has almost no filth.

But today is different; I don't know who added more material to the pit of the latrine.

As they kept approaching, the stench grew ever stronger; for other creatures, this place was absolutely to be avoided at all costs.

But for the ground-rolling worms, this was practically the habitat they dreamed of.

Unintentionally seeing the deep pit drawing ever closer, for a moment the Human Emperor Palace disciples who had been cursing nonstop panicked completely.

What the hell is this place, why is there such a thing?

Watching themselves roll straight toward the big pit, the few Human Emperor Palace disciples instantly understood their situation.

They had already been humiliated all along the way; if they were to fall into this big pit, they'd be better off dead.

"Stop, stop."

"I told you to stop, you beast."

"You beast, how dare you act this way?"

They panicked completely; unfortunately, no matter what they said, the ground-rolling worms gave no response—making the worms respond to you is something every cultivator who has just set foot on the path of cultivation knows is impossible.

Thus, amidst the fear, pleading, and various emotions of the few Human Emperor Palace disciples, with the sound of plop plop, they were pushed one after another into the big pit.

For a moment, that scene was so spectacular that words could hardly describe it.

Even two disciples, caught off guard, ended up gulping several mouthfuls of feces water, and for a moment they felt like dying.

After doing all that, the ground-rolling worms didn't realize there was any problem; they gathered around the pit and all emitted their unique cries, as if celebrating having found a new home.

The ground-rolling worms' cries were already unpleasant to hear; now, heard by these few Human Emperor Palace disciples, they were even more grating.

Fortunately, just as the few people didn't know what to do, suddenly a voice speaking came from afar.

"Huh, Senior Brother, why would there be ground-rolling worms here?"

"I don't know; I remember there aren't any of these in the holy land."

"Never mind, this thing is disgusting; I'll take care of them."

Upon hearing someone approaching, the few Human Emperor Palace disciples were overjoyed, all stretching their necks to cry for help.

And above the pit, someone indeed made a move; with a flash of sword light, a ground-rolling worm was instantly slain on the spot.

At the same time, the speakers' voices became much clearer, indicating that the person speaking had already approached here.

"One down."

"Senior Brother, I seem to hear someone calling for help."

"I heard it too."

"In the pit?"

Speaking of which, only see two heads stretching out from above the pit—turns out they are two Menial Disciples of the Dao Yi Shengdi.

The two were just passing by and initially thought some fellow brother had been attacked.

They were originally wondering, who would be so weak as to be attacked by ground-rolling worms?

You're just a Menial Disciple; wanting to slay ground-rolling worms isn't difficult at all.

But upon stretching their heads out, what they saw were the few Human Emperor Palace disciples in the feces pit; seeing this, those disciples also shouted excitedly.

"Save me."

"Please, fellow cultivator, save me."

"I will certainly be grateful; please, fellow cultivator, lend a hand."

"We have been schemed against; fellow cultivator, save us."

Looking at the few Human Emperor Palace disciples in the pit, the two Menial Disciples stared for a moment, then their expressions kept changing.

First shock, then doubt, then gloating, and finally calm.

Just as the few Human Emperor Palace disciples repeatedly begged for mercy, one of them spoke.

"Junior Brother, you've gone astray—how can you indiscriminately create killing karma for no reason?"

"The ground-rolling worm has the beautiful reputation of a scavenger; it is greatly beneficial to the environment—how could you be so ruthless as to slay it?"

"What the Senior Brother said is right; I was rash, the ground-rolling worm died by my hand—when I return, Junior Brother will make offerings and perform rites for it."

"Beautiful, very good."

Originally, several Human Emperor Palace disciples who kept begging for help also saw hope in their eyes, but upon hearing these words, each one directly froze in place.

Immediately, the next second they burst into loud cursing.

"What the hell are you saying again?"

"You guys have a problem in your heads; quickly kill these earth-rolling worms and save us."

"Bullshit about being attached to appearances, killing one earth-rolling worm is just wasting fucking talk, quickly save us."

"And you still want to hold a memorial service for the earth-rolling worm, you're just worshipping bullshit, you worship."

Just listening to the angry curses of those few Human Emperor Palace disciples in the pit below, the two Menial Disciples acted as if they hadn't heard.

They said to themselves.

"It would be good if Junior Brother could think like that; the Peak Master has always taught us, disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi, we should take saving the world as our duty, compassion as our heart, when facing all beings we should hold compassion in our hearts, and must not recklessly create killing karma."

"That's what Senior Brother said."

"Let's go; today you were impulsive, from now on you cannot be like this."

"Junior Brother will respectfully follow Senior Brother's teachings."

While saying this, the two brothers walked away without looking back.
