Chapter 563 - 423: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys
Wang Haiwong’s speculation was very accurate. That very night, someone couldn’t resist the loneliness and sneaked into the Star Sea.
These people thought their actions were very secretive, but little did they know that everything they did was seen by others.
"Do they... think of our Star Sea as some insignificant sect with no background?" Lin Junrong said, suppressing his anger.
Wang Haiwong laughed and shook his head, "Man dies for wealth as birds die for food. These people just have a lucky mentality."
"Did you find out their origins?" Lin Junrong asked.
"Just a few reckless loose cultivators. If they were disciples of some mainstream sect, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in our Star Sea."
"In that case..." Lin Junrong said calmly, "Kill them, hang their heads outside the gate to prevent any more reckless people from coming to die."
"Elder Lin, there’s no need to be so kind to these reckless guys. In the past hundred years, our Star Sea hasn’t shown the same thunderous methods as before, making those cultivators forget our fearsome reputation back then," Wang Haiwong said coldly, "For these reckless people, we should kill as many as come, until they are terrified."
Lin Junrong sighed, "Elder Wang, I understand what you mean. However, it’s a very special time now."
"The Sect Leader previously reminded me that the Nether Spirit Race is watching us like a hawk and is determined to fight us with all their might. At such a time, our Star Sea should not indulge in excessive killing."
Wang Haiwong realized, he was puzzled just now why this Law Enforcement Hall elder, famous for his decisive killings, seemed hesitant this time.
"In that case, those guys are lucky."
The ones who secretly sneaked into the Star Sea were indeed two loose cultivators, and their cultivation was quite remarkable, both being Golden Core stage experts.
As time passed, the two cultivation techniques obtained by the Star Sea were being spread with increasing embellishment. Some even claimed that cultivating these two techniques would allow one to easily break through to the Divinity Transformation stage.
Such rumors were clearly false, but there were always those unwilling to give up, wanting to investigate the truth.
"Big brother, are you sure we’re on the right path?" a cultivator dressed in pitch-black night clothes, almost invisible in the dark, anxiously asked.
"Rest assured, I spent a large sum specifically to buy this map from someone related to the Star Sea’s disciples."
"The spot we’re sneaking into is the only weak point in the Star Sea’s Mountain Protection Array. This spot is a top secret, not even many in the Star Sea know it."
"Big brother, you’re amazing, even managing to get such a secret thing," the cultivator called big brother proudly said.
"With just a bit of brainwork, you too can achieve this."
"But big brother, what if we get caught by Star Sea people? I heard..."
Before he could finish, the cultivator referred to as big brother disdainfully interrupted, "You have everything good about you except your fearlessness."
"Since we’ve embarked on the path of cultivation, we shouldn’t expect a peaceful journey. A cultivator without experiencing some trials can’t be considered a competent cultivator."
"Don’t think that these major sects are all that incredible."
"The larger the sect, like the Star Sea, the more complacent they become, always thinking that no one in the world dares to mess with them."
"It’s precisely their arrogance that allows us to find an opportunity."
"Don’t worry, we’ll sneak in, take what we want, and leave swiftly."
"Maybe we’ll be thousands of miles away by the time those fools realize the secret manual has been stolen."
As they spoke, suddenly a magnificent golden gate appeared before them.
It might truly have been the carelessness of a Star Sea disciple, for this gate was not properly closed.
Through the gap, rows of bookshelves could be faintly seen.
The two were simultaneously elated.
"What did I say? These major sects aren’t that scary, hurry and get the secret manual."
But as he rushed towards the so-called secret manual, he didn’t notice his junior wasn’t keeping up.
His eyes glowed green, muttering to himself, "Big brother, I trusted you so much, and you want to hog the secret manual for yourself. I’ll fight you!"
And the person called big brother, just as his hand reached the magnificent golden gate.
With a puff, a blade pierced through his chest.
He turned back with difficulty, seeing his companion holding the hilt, the blade stabbed into his back.
"How dare you," he casually sent out a wind blade, slicing the attacker into two pieces.
After several breaths of time, two male disciples of the Star Sea approached.
"Any cat or dog dares to act recklessly in our Star Sea these days," one said.
The other replied irritably, "Even in death, they can’t find peace, leaving a bloody mess for us to clean up. Why is it always us doing these tasks?"
"No choice, since all the senior and junior sisters are female, who else but us to do these dirty and tiring tasks?"
"Senior brother, I’ve suddenly discovered a truth."
"What truth?" Seeing his seriousness, the other couldn’t help but become nervous.
Could it be that these two guys aren’t dead yet?
"Senior brother, do you think they let us join the sect just to make us do all the laborious work?"
