NOVEL NEXT Chapter 180: They’re Just A Bunch Of Useless Cultivators
"E-Elder Duan, it's an emergency! The Sect Master and Elder Jiang are at the western gate. The people from the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Qian family, the Heavenly Blue Dragon Sect, and the Heavenly Sword Sect are all there!" A disciple burst through the door, his words drawing everyone's attention.
"What?!" Elder Duan's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "How did they find out the Su family is here? And why are the Blue Dragon and Heavenly Sword sects involved?"
The disciple shook his head. "I don't know, but you need to go. The other elders are already there."
Elder Duan nodded, his expression serious. He turned to Qian Xiaoli and Feng Fan.
"You two, stay here. I'll handle this."
Before Elder Duan could leave, Qian Xiaoli grabbed his sleeve. "No! I'm coming too. If they're here, they already know the Su family is with us. Hiding won't help."
Elder Duan sighed. "Fine, follow me."
Elder Duan and Qian Xiaoli left through the door and flew quickly toward the western gate. Halfway there, Elder Duan turned and noticed someone else who shouldn't have been there.
"Feng Fan, why are you following us?"
Feng Fan replied with a righteous tone. "Master, why wouldn't I come? If they're here to cuckold me, I have to defend myself!"
Elder Duan rolled his eyes. "You'd better stay out of this. The last thing we need right now is more trouble."
Feng Fan shook his head. "Trouble's already at our doorstep. If they've come looking for it, we should give it back to them, or people will say the White Crow Sect isn't hospitable!"
Elder Duan didn't know how to argue with that. He sighed and said, "Fine, but keep your mouth shut!"
Soon, they arrived at the western gate. All the important elders of the White Crow Sect were already there, their expressions grim as they looked through the barrier.
Outside stood a large group of cultivators. At the front were Qian Niu, Mao Yuan, Deng Yi, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Cai An, the sect master of the Blue Dragon Sect.
Four of the most powerful forces had gathered to confront a mid-tier sect. If they decided to attack, the outcome was clear: the White Crow Sect would be wiped out.
"Qian Niu, Mao Yuan, Cai An, Deng Yi," Yin Jian said, his expression serious. "What do you think you're doing? Do you believe the Dao Seeking School won't punish you if you attack us?"
A creepy smile spread across Mao Yuan's face, and he laughed loudly at Yin Jian's words. "Hahaha, Yin Jian, I'm sure you're not a fool. The Dao Seeking School and the Bloodsucker Demon Sect are at war. They won't have time to worry about you."
Hearing Mao Yuan's words, some of the elders who hadn't known about the war grew visibly tense.
If Mao Yuan was telling the truth, the Dao Seeking School wouldn't interfere in conflicts within the Qian Empire anytime soon. The last war between the Dao Seeking School and the Bloodsucker Demon Sect had lasted fifty years
By the time that war ended, the White Crow Sect would have been wiped out long ago.
Of course, the sects responsible would still face consequences eventually. While they could use this information to pressure the White Crow Sect, launching an all-out war was a completely different matter.
A sect under the Dao Seeking School being wiped out by other sects was not something the school could tolerate. If they allowed it, people would start forgetting who was truly in charge.
Yin Jiang gritted his teeth. "What do you want?"
Though the question sounded simple, it was actually a sign that he was backing down—a clear indication that he was willing to negotiate.
Feng Fan, who had just arrived at the scene, shook his head. 'The worst thing you can do in a situation like this is show weakness…'
As he expected, the four people leading the opposition smiled at Yin Jiang's response. The first to speak was Qian Niu.
"We've already discussed this and won't ask for much. Hand over four people from your sect—my daughter, Feng Fan, Huang Xue, and Xue Qiang."
Yin Jiang's eyes widened. He could understand why they wanted Qian Xiaoli, and even Feng Fan made some sense. But Huang Xue and Xue Qiang too?
They were trying to wipe out their most promising young talents!
"Impossible!" Yin Jiang snapped. "You want to kill the next generation? The Dao Seeking School won't let this slide!"
Deng Yi stepped forward, his voice filled with menace. "Yin Jiang, you can either hand over the four or watch as we slaughter everyone in your sect, one by one. Let's see how long you can stay holed up inside!"
His glare darkened. "And if I don't kill that bastard Feng Fan for taking Hou Mengyao's life, I'm not leaving!"
Just as Yin Jian was about to respond, a voice came from behind him. A figure stepped forward, moving closer to the barrier.
"Sect Master," Feng Fan said, his tone laced with disdain. "What's the point of talking to them? They're just a bunch of useless cultivators."
His words immediately drew everyone's attention. Eyes widened in disbelief as the atmosphere grew tense.
Feng Fan pointed first at Qian Niu.
"To break through, this guy wants to sell his own daughter. Pathetic."
Next, his finger moved to Mao Yuan.
"And this one? He can't even be called human anymore. He sold his own body for power. And look at that stupid face—he's already wearing a green hat thanks to me, yet he still shows up here to see me. This man must have a cuckold fetish."
Then, he gestured toward Cai An.
"The Blue Dragon Sect's disciples are so worthless they had to send their daddy to deal with me."
Finally, he pointed at Deng Yi.
"And this guy? The worst of them all. His so-called holy son lost fair and square, yet he comes here whining. Let me tell you something—Hou Mengyao begged me not to kill him before he died. Too bad he was so weak I killed him by mistake."
