Chapter 764: A New Home Part 2
"Sect master… The clan that you took this mountain from wouldn"t be…." Elder Ning gazed at the people behind him and had a bad feeling.
"Mmm… The Qiao Clan had bought the mountain from us a while back. Since I didn"t want to spend any money, I kinda destroyed them." The sect master spoke in a nonchalant way. Qiao Song, on the other hand, face blanched white.
"You…. Sect master, you destroyed my family!?" Qiao Song felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot if not for Ming Xiafan taking this chance to use his sword to poke him in the b.u.t.t, he probably would have fallen to the floor. "Ouch! Ming Xiafan!"
"What!? I was helping support you. I mean, not like you can scream and yell anymore anyways. You should be happy that I was at least helping you save some face." MIng Xiafan walked over and patted Qiao Song on the shoulder. "Did you forget that once you step on the path of cultivation things like this would happen? How many powerful families" messed with the wrong expert to disappear overnight? This is just life."
"Hmmm? We have someone from the Qiao family here?" The sect master looked at Qiao Song"s pale face emotionlessly. "I give my condolences. But you see, Kana"s family is much more important than some Qiao Clan. If you wish to take revenge on me, well… With your abilities. It will probably take you until after I have ascended. B then, you will still be wetting your pants. Don"t worry, you can stay in the sect. I won"t do anything to you. Plus…. What good is a clan that can"t even defend themselves against one person?"
"Sect master, this is just a bit." Elder Ning felt kind of bad for Qiao Song to find out his entire family had been destroyed overnight like this.
"Pfft… Ahahahaha! I can"t take it anymore!" The sect master burst out laughing. "Your family"s mountain is on the other side of the sect."
"Huh!?" Qiao Song stood frozen in place, the tears that were building up in his eyes also froze. He stared at the sect master in disbelief. It took a minute for everything to register, and only then did he finally yell out: "What kind of sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d says things like that!?"
"Me!" The sect master gave a wide grin before walking over to Kana and patting her shoulder. "I see your death energy is under control, this is good. Come, come. I put a great deal of effort into this place."
Elder Ning was also a bit confused. He walked over and whispered into the sect master"s ear. "Who owned this mountain then?"
"Hmmmm? The Qiao clan. I just used an array to transport the destroyed clan to another mountain. I couldn"t have it dirting Kana and her family"s eyes now, could I? Plus, I investigated them thoroughly before I acted. They have dealings with devil cultivators. The old master of the Qiao clan was using the blood of young cultivators to raise his cultivation." The sect master answered with a low voice.
Elder Ning"s eyes grew wide, and looked back at Qiao Song. "Is he?"
"Don"t worry. I checked him just now. He has no devil qi. So he is fine. I do not think he knew about it. I am sure many in the clan did not know. But you know what they say. Destroy them from the roots up or else it will cause problems in the future. Give Qiao Song a one year closed door training in the cold realm. After he enters, we can then announce the actual destruction of the Qiao Clan." The sect master explained.
"But what if he turns against the sect?" Elder Ning couldn"t help but worry.
"There is nothing we can do if he does, but all the evidence points to the Blood Cauldron Sect. I even left quite a few of their bodies in the Qiao Clan." The sect master already knew about Qiao Song. But in order to not get him caught up in the mess his family made, it was best to keep him oblivious to it all for the time being.
"I will do as you say." Elder Ning did not like it, but he knew this was for the best.
As for the person in question, he was still trying to come to terms that everything being a "joke" by taking his anger out on Ming Xiafan. Qiao Song would never think that his family had relations.h.i.+ps with devil cultivators. He had always wished to destroy them. While he was also greedy for power, he was not the kind of person to go about it by means of devil cultivation. As for wanting to marry Kana and Yana and going about it the wrong way, that was not only to boost the power of his clan but also because he had no actual understanding of how to court a girl in the first place.
And Kana, who heard everything that was said, did not say a word. She wondered if the sect master realized she could hear all his words. Even if he was speaking in a whisper that only Elder Ning should have been able to hear. Not that she cared. She just wanted to see the home that was prepared for her.
"Here we are." The sect master brought the group to a bamboo forest with a path leading towards an open area. The sides of the path even had bamboo fencing lining it. The sounds of nature filled the air making the place seem very peaceful.
The group walked towards the opening as they enjoyed the view of the forest around them. "This place is amazing." Kana cried out as she ran forward. Unlike the other immortal caves that had barely any kind of work put into them, this once was truly amazing. There was a small rock pond out front. On the other side overlooking the side of the cliff, was a bamboo fence, and next to that was a stone stable and chairs. But what was most appealing was the way the immortal cave was carved out. There were stone awnings over the entrances that were covered in hanging moss. There were two side rooms and one main living quarters. The side rooms were a kitchen and bathing area. While the main living quarters had three floors in total. The very top floor even had a stone balcony looking out over the mountainside. It was truly a work of craftsmans.h.i.+p.
