Chapter 32

The Dao Yi Sect seems not to know about that great demon's remains, and if so, that means they are here for..................

His gaze unconsciously fell on Ye Zhangqing and Jin Min behind Hong Zun.

Even the Azure Bird felt it a bit absurd; such a massive deployment, could it be just for one Inner Door Disciple? But for now, besides this explanation, there seems to be no other reason.

Could this Inner Door Disciple be the offspring of some big shot in the Dao Yi Sect?

His gaze lingered on Jin Min; until now, the Azure Bird had never paid attention to Ye Zhangqing.

But soon, as Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang landed to Ye Zhangqing's left and right, they began to ask after his well-being, and the Azure Bird's expression gradually turned wonderful.

"Junior Brother Zhangqing, are you alright?"

"Are you injured?"

"Fortunately Xiao Bai was with me, otherwise it would really have been dangerous."

"From now on, Junior Brother Zhangqing, you must tell me when you go out on a mission; Senior Sister will personally accompany you."

Hearing the two women's concerned voices, the Azure Bird only then belatedly realized: could these disciples all have come for this kid?

His mind was already somewhat unable to turn; looking at Hong Zun, the Azure Bird gritted his teeth and said.

"You........ you all came for this kid?"

Just because of a Menial Disciple, it provoked the Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak to come in person, plus thousands of disciples—this is damn absurd.

As for this, Hong Zun spoke extremely candidly.

"In our Dao Yi Sect, disciples are not distinguished by status; once you join our Dao Yi Sect, you are family. What's wrong with a Menial Disciple? Our Dao Yi Sect will rescue them just the same."

The words were spoken with righteous vigor, but upon hearing them, the Azure Bird's mouth twitched involuntarily—who the hell would believe that?

How many Menial Disciples of your Dao Yi Sect have died outside over the years? Not to mention Menial Disciples, even Outer Door Disciples, let alone Inner Door Disciples, have never seen your Dao Yi Sect react like this.

At least it's figured out now, but the answer left the Azure Bird finding it hard to accept for a moment.

It turns out the whole cause was because of a Menial Disciple—because of this Menial Disciple, it attracted so many people, completely thwarting their plans.

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have bothered hiding anything; I would have just attacked directly.

Even if an Inner Disciple made a move, it probably wouldn't provoke such a huge reaction from the Dao Yi Sect.

His icy gaze fell on Ye Zhangqing, who was talking with Lu Youyou and the other woman; suddenly sensing a chill from Ye Zhangqing, he also turned his gaze toward the Azure Bird.

Looking at its appearance, it seemed to want to firmly remember him, intending to tear him apart alive in the future.

He also felt helpless inwardly, saying, "Don't look at me like that—I don't know what's going on either; I just used a distress signal, who knew it would cause such a commotion."

Having unspeakable bitterness, and the next second the Azure Bird's words made Ye Zhangqing feel utterly helpless.

"Despicable human, actually disguising yourself as a Menial Disciple—good, very good. I, Black Tiger Abyss, have remembered this matter."

In the Azure Bird's view, Ye Zhangqing is certainly not a Menial Disciple; he must be deliberately disguising himself as such, just to make them let their guard down.

A human with such deep scheming, and yet they never noticed anything from start to finish—truly deserving of death.

Facing the Azure Bird's look as if seeing through everything, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched: "You really are full of drama; I am truly a Menial Disciple, pretending, damn it."

But before Ye Zhangqing could speak, Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang, upon hearing the Azure Bird's words, immediately shouted angrily.

"Bold, with death at your doorstep, you still dare to threaten Junior Brother Zhangqing—you're asking for death."

That demon beast is clearly targeting Ye Zhangqing; since that's the case, we should kill it—after all, we cannot let Junior Brother Zhangqing face any danger.

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for the Azure Bird to reply, Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang directly attacked.

Xu Jie, seeing this, likewise raised his arms and shouted.

"Protect Junior Brother Zhangqing, kill!"

"Kill."

"Protect Junior Brother Zhangqing."

In an instant, thousands of Divine Sword Peak disciples sprang into action, attacking the Azure Bird and the Black Ape.

Faced with the encirclement of so many people, the Azure Bird and the Black Ape were instantly dumbfounded, especially upon hearing the disciples' slogan.

"Protect Junior Brother Zhangqing? With so many of you, is there still a need to protect him? At this point, who could even touch a single hair of Ye Zhangqing?"

Wanting to speak, but there was no chance; under the disciples' onslaught, even though the Azure Bird and the Black Ape were of Purple Demon realm cultivation, they were quickly slain outright.

Even in death, the Azure Bird's eyes never closed, still glaring hatefully at Ye Zhangqing, muttering.

"Despicable human............."

Seeing that unwilling, regretful, resentful gaze, Ye Zhangqing could only shake his head and give a wry smile.

"I really am just a Menial Disciple; I didn't deceive you, believe me."

Too bad, the Azure Bird couldn't hear it.

And the last two Purple Demons still in the cave, upon seeing Hong Zun appear, had not the slightest hesitation; they fled immediately, without a trace of hesitation.

With the crisis resolved, many disciples gathered around Ye Zhangqing, exchanging pleasantries; this left Ye Zhangqing feeling overwhelmed by the favor, and he could only repeatedly express his thanks.

"Master, that monster just said there is a great demon's remains in Leshan Town; I think they are probably here for that."

Xu Jie stood beside Hong Zun and said; upon hearing this, Hong Zun nodded, but didn't really care.

"A great demon's remains isn't much of a big deal, but leaving it in Leshan Town will eventually cause trouble; you go there yourself and bring that remains back to Divine Sword Peak."

Although we don't know why that great demon's remains appeared in Leshan Town, Hong Zun obviously doesn't care about this.

Not to mention a great demon's remains; even if it were a living great demon, to Hong Zun it's nothing, so he didn't care at all, leaving Xu Jie to handle it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie nodded and immediately headed for Leshan Town.

At the same time, before Ye Zhangqing, the disciples mentioned the Black Tiger Abyss, and someone worried.

"I think that monster just now clearly bears a grudge against Junior Brother Zhangqing; do you think the Black Tiger Abyss will act against him?"

"It's possible; these demon beasts are each incredibly ruthless and extremely vengeful."

"If that's the case, we must be on guard; Junior Brother Zhangqing, you should be more careful from now on."

"There's the saying, 'A thief can work for a thousand days, but you can't guard against him for a thousand days'; constant defense leads to loss. In my view, since the Black Tiger Abyss bears a grudge against Junior Brother Zhangqing, we might as well now march on the Black Tiger Abyss and wipe it out once and for all—wouldn't that be a permanent solution?"

「Senior Brother Wang's words are reasonable. 」

「Yes yes yes, there's no logic in guarding against thieves for a thousand days; Black Tiger Abyss wants to attack Junior Brother Changqing, so we should strike first and kill it directly. 」

Hearing the discussion of many senior brothers, as the protagonist, the party involved Ye Zhangqing, at this point already had a head full of Black Line.

Just now you were still saying it fine; why, as soon as you turn around, do you want to exterminate Black Tiger Abyss?

I thought I just accepted a one-star scouting mission, but now not only have I slain three purple demons, it seems I also have to exterminate the whole Black Tiger Abyss; the development of events leaves Ye Zhangqing increasingly bewildered.
