Chapter 75: Absolute Kill

There was killing intent in his eyes.

This person was clearly ill-intentioned at first glance; he deliberately projected hostility to see how Yan Xiao would handle it.

If he were rejected in public, the Taishan disciples would surely think Yan Xiao was a man who went back on his word and would definitely not join Luoxia Mountain.

If Yan Xiao did not reject him, he could take the opportunity to infiltrate Luoxia Mountain and avenge the Taishan Dao.

"You are very welcome to join. You can rest assured that Luoxia Mountain is very fair and just, and we treat our disciples with great care."

Yan Xiao acted as if he did not see the hostility, appearing extremely kind and amiable.

"I am willing to join Luoxia Mountain."

"I am also willing to join Luoxia Mountain."

Many disciples felt their favorability toward Yan Xiao skyrocket; Sect Master Yan was truly too easygoing, with no airs at all.

"Go back and observe that kid with the hostility closely. Do not give him any Spirit Pills, do not give him any supplies, and assign all the dirtiest and most exhausting work to him."

In the air, Yan Xiao whispered to Luosang while waving goodbye to the Taishan disciples.

Luosang was stunned; the Sect Master was truly deep.

The tall woman revealed a hint of a smile; she actually felt this version of Yan Xiao was quite interesting.

"Young Master Yan, I will return to the City Lord's Mansion first."

Feng Wanqing cupped her hands toward Yan Xiao and took her leave.

"Miss Feng, please accept my condolences. Your parents would surely want you to be happy."

Yan Xiao shouted loudly.

The tall woman's figure paused, then she accelerated and left.

Ting Yu had been killed by her, and her great vengeance was satisfied, but she did not feel happy at all; instead, she felt very sad, with a hollow feeling in her heart.

Returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

She immediately hugged Chang Yongsheng and wept silently.

Just like when she was a child, she rushed into her uncle's arms; at this moment, she unburdened the heavy stone that had been pressing on her heart, and she needed to vent.

Chang Yongsheng took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Don't cry anymore. Tomorrow, we will go see them together."

Feng Wanqing nodded. Seeing the strange expressions of the guards, she let go of Chang Yongsheng and returned to her cold, aloof demeanor.

Luoxia Mountain.

Taxue's wounds had already been bandaged, and she was recuperating in the courtyard with the support of Luo Ying.

Yan Xiao coughed dryly and walked up to the two of them. "Zhuifeng is dead. It looks like he took some kind of Spirit Pill; his meridians were completely severed."

"You pierced my abdomen but deliberately avoided my dantian, which just happened to knock the Explosive Fetal Pill inside me away, so I will be fine. This is also one of the reasons why I am willing to join Luoxia Mountain."

Taxue said slowly.

"Such a coincidence?"

Yan Xiao was delighted. This was great news; if Taxue truly submitted, she would be a major asset.

"The Master of the Pavilion will not give up on Luoyue City, so you had better pray for your own luck."

Taxue looked at Yan Xiao, wanting to find an answer on his face.

"Rest assured, if that so-called Master of the Pavilion dares to come, he will have only one outcome: submit or die!"

Yan Xiao said arrogantly. After speaking, he left with a flourish, waving his sleeves and leaving behind a scent of charred barbecue.

"Submit or die—is that one outcome?"

Luo Ying muttered softly, looking puzzled.

Luoxia Mountain was very busy today; disciples from many peaks of the Seven Spirits came one after another to defect, and suddenly there were several hundred more disciples.

Zhang Ze, Wang Dazhu, and the others were busy to the point of exhaustion.

Zhang Ze was responsible for keeping records, while Wang Dazhu was responsible for acting cool and being cute.

He was now the Chief Senior Brother of Luoxia Mountain, and every new person who came to report had to bow and say, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

And every time, Wang Dazhu would say solemnly: "Good, reward!"

Then the two female disciples behind him would distribute sect uniforms and a Gathering Spirit Pill to the new disciples.

Every disciple who received a Spirit Pill was ecstatic, feeling that coming to Luoxia Mountain was the most correct choice of their lives.

Of course, there was one exception, and that was the Taishan disciple Yan Xiao had mentioned.

He stood to the side with a gloomy face, feeling indignant. Wang Dazhu had given him nothing, but instead ordered him to serve tea and pour water, and his duties were those of a menial servant sweeping floors and carrying manure.

"What? Don't want to do it? If you don't want to do it, you can get lost."

Wang Dazhu sensed killing intent watching him. He turned his head to look and saw it was this "kidney-face" guy. He couldn't help but be furious, pointing at his nose and cursing.

"Master ordered me to bully you, and you can't even handle this much?"

Wang Dazhu looked at him with utter disdain, wearing an expression of deep disappointment.

"I was originally the Chief Disciple of Taishan, Taishang Sanmiao. You insult me like this—is it because you are deliberately targeting me, a Taishan disciple?"

Taishang Sanmiao glared at Wang Dazhu and demanded.

Many of the original Taishan disciples couldn't help but look over, wanting to hear how the Luoxia Mountain Senior Brother would answer.

"Hey, don't misunderstand. I am not targeting Taishan disciples. Look, I gave clothes and Spirit Pills to the previous Taishan disciples; I am just targeting you specifically."

Wang Dazhu waved his hands, looking very innocent.

When the crowd heard this, they realized it was true; the senior brothers and sisters of Luoxia Mountain were very caring toward them.

They couldn't help but relax.

"Why target me?" Taishang Sanmiao asked in astonishment.

"I might as well tell you: Master felt you were a talent and wanted to cultivate you, but he needed to assess you. Unfortunately, you failed. From the moment you felt anger and accused me, you lost your qualifications."

"A person who has no respect for their superiors and cannot accept even the slightest bit of hardship is not welcome at Luoxia Mountain. Please leave."

"Also, I am very disappointed in you... extremely disappointed!"

Wang Dazhu said, feeling that he was failing to live up to expectations.

"So that's how it is. He really couldn't keep his cool; it was just sweeping the floor, yet he ruined his future over it. What a pity."

"Such a temperament is truly unsuitable for cultivation; his character is just too poor."

Seeing the disdainful gazes of all the disciples nearby, San Miao's face turned livid, and he was so ashamed and angry he wanted to die.

He wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

In the end, he drew his sword and fled on it.

As he left Luoxia Mountain, he cast a vicious glare back and thought to himself, "Luoxia Mountain, Yan Xiao, Wang Dazhu, one day, I will make sure you all die a horrible death."

"Ahem... everyone, continue. Don't let a single rat dropping ruin your mood. Those who haven't received their Spirit Pill, don't worry, there is one for everyone."

Wang Dazhu laughed heartily and shouted loudly.

"Senior Brother is the best! Senior Brother, I love you..."

Many disciples cheered, and Wang Dazhu received the unanimous support and respect of the new disciples.

"What a talent."

Yan Xiao stared at Wang Dazhu, dumbfounded, feeling that this first disciple of the sect was actually quite impressive.

Returning to his room, Yan Xiao began to look through today's spoils.

Four Storage Bags and four Seals of the Sect Master—a pretty good harvest.

He only needed two more Seals of the Sect Master to complete the mission of collecting the seals.

Become the number one sect in Luoyue City within three years? Sorry, Luoxia Mountain is already the most awesome sect in Luoyue City now.

Having obtained a reward of 10,000 Fear Value points, he currently had 62,000 Fear Value points; he was very wealthy.

That should be enough to deal with the retaliation from Yanyu Tower.

Entering the System Space, he wanted to organize the items inside, only to see Chenxi staring at him with a displeased expression.

The little one had been trapped here for a day and was very bored.

"The little one even knows how to be angry? Haha, I'll send you out, but you mustn't run around."

Yan Xiao stroked her head and took out the Golden Scale Shuttle; the little one immediately circled around him, very happy.

After organizing his things, he took out three items: a Jade Hairpin, a Treasure Map, and a secret manual he couldn't understand.

The Jade Hairpin wasn't very useful, so he tossed it back into the System Space; the Treasure Map was too far away to be of use for now, so he tossed it back into the space too.

All that remained in his hand was this ancient book he couldn't understand.
