Chapter 5064 — The Rendezvous Point
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
So this was a thing Fei Yangnian merely toyed with in his mind; there was basically no feasibility to it at all. The only thing he could do now was hurry the two corpses back to the rendezvous point and report truthfully what had happened.
The dead this time, Sun Baimei and Senior Brother Yin, were no ordinary disciples—one at the late Foundation Establishment stage, the other at its peak. These were elite disciples who were highly valued. To them, the secular world was supposed to be nothing more than a relaxed and pleasant training outing, not even a proper trial. And now two elite disciples had died at once—how could such a thing be tolerated?
Fei Yangnian did not even need to guess. Once the higher-ups learned the full story, they would fly into a towering rage. This time the secular world would have to learn for itself just what the wrath of an ancient sect looked like!
"Heh heh, that Origin Spirit was so arrogant and vile. Next time we'll see how he dies!" Fei Yangnian gave a cold laugh, then rose and, with much grunting and heaving, dragged the two corpses onward.
With his own strength, he would never dare seek trouble with Wei Zhao again. Revenge was even more a fool's delusion. But that did not matter. His own strength might be lacking, but the ancient sects were full of experts. Once the matter was reported upward, could they not deal with a mere Origin Spirit?
When that time came, he would not even need to charge in and fight—he need only watch from a distance.
A day later, Fei Yangnian at last returned to the rendezvous point on legs gone weak. It was the same towering mountain gate from which they had all set out together. Basically, the senior brothers or sect elders leading each sect were stationed here; after all, cultivators in the secular world were few and their strength poor, so even if these leaders went out there would be no training value in it for them. They were here only to coordinate and supervise.
The moment the corpses of Sun Baimei and Senior Brother Yin were flung to the ground, the whole mountain gate was in an uproar. Within mere moments, the contingents of every sect stationed here had all gathered. They had no choice but to come—this was an unprecedented event!
"Aren't these Yin Zhiping and Sun Baimei of the Bi Xie Sect? How are they both dead?" The people of the other sects discussed it animatedly.
"Those two weren't weak—I recall they were at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. How could something happen to them in a place like the secular world? It wasn't one of our ancient sects that did it, was it?" someone wondered.
"The Bi Xie Sect has always been eccentric and devious in its ways—they even often go after the spiritual creatures kept by sects like ours for no reason at all. It's only natural they'd have made enemies. Besides, in the secular world not even a single Foundation Establishment expert could exist—who could possibly have dealt with the two of them?" someone beside him said with a certain schadenfreude.
"That's true enough. But where are the Bi Xie Sect's people? Surely they didn't send only these two—wouldn't that mean they died for nothing?" The crowd exchanged glances. If the Bi Xie Sect had a high-ranking figure present, today's matter would certainly be investigated to the very bottom; but with no sufficiently weighty elder on hand, it would most likely be allowed to fizzle out.
Everyone present was a leading figure of their respective sect, and their first consideration was inevitably the interests of that sect. If it were discovered that these two had died at the hands of their own disciples, would that not be inviting trouble for themselves?
