Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why can’t we go down? If we don’t drink now, we’ll die. We have to go down no matter what…” The group complained.
They were not exaggerating. These people were completely drained and barely hanging on to dear life.
“Enough with the nonsense and follow me!” It was a miracle that even though Ding Ding’ao had lost his right arm, he was still able to make it here.
On the brink of death, his willpower to survive and hatred towards Chen Xiaobei propelled him to rush down the stairs like a starved dog, ignoring Chen Xiaobei’s advice.
When Zhou Xiaokun saw this, he followed. Beneath this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s grat.i.tude towards Chen Xiaobei, lay a deep burning desire to snuff out Chen Xiaobei. It was only expected that he refused to listen to Chen Xiaobei’s warning.
The remaining 22 Kunlun Faction and Xingxiu Faction disciples made no move to follow.
“What are you doing? Come with me! Don’t you want to drink?” Ding Ding’ao asked.
Zhou Xiaokun added, “Second s.h.i.+di! Third s.h.i.+di! Bring Fifth s.h.i.+mei over here! She’ll die if she doesn’t drink soon!”
The two a.s.sholes wanted their people to follow them, but no one seemed to heed their orders. They pretended not to have heard the two young masters calling out to them and kept their eyes locked on Chen Xiaobei.
Clearly, the rest of the group were scared.
Second s.h.i.+di Fang Lingce said, “Elder s.h.i.+xiong, we better listen to Mr. Chen! His advice has never been wrong!”
The Xingxiu disciples were on the same page. “Yeah! The first time you didn’t listen to Mr. Chen, he lost an arm. Then the second time you didn’t listen to him, we lost four men. We cannot let history repeat itself. We must trust Mr. Chen this time!”
“What the h.e.l.l do you think you guys are doing?!” Ding Ding’ao was mad. “I am the young master of Xingxiu Faction! You refuse to listen to me, and you listen to this outsider! You are disobeying your own leader! Do you guys want to get kicked out of the faction?!”
Despite such a serious threat, the Xingxiu stood grounded.
Getting cast out of the faction was nothing compared to losing their lives. They had learnt from their previous mistakes and now saw Chen Xiaobei as their beacon of light. They would rather be beaten to death than turn a deaf ear to Chen Xiaobei.
“Everybody, think about it!” Zhou Xiaokun spoke up. “Why is it that they can go down but we can’t? I’m willing to bet that it’s because there’s not enough water, and they don’t want to share it with us. That’s why they’re trying to stop us from going down!”
This seemed like a very logical explanation. It painted Chen Xiaobei as a selfish liar, who for the sake of monopolizing the water, was deceiving them.
Even then, not a single person from Kunlun made a move to follow.
As one of the disciples had said earlier, they could not let history repeat itself! At that moment, everyone of them was afraid. They would not dare distrust Chen Xiaobei ever again.
“Y… You…”
Ding Ding’ao and Zhou Xiaokun clenched their fists at their disciples’ insubordination.
They were the young masters of major factions! Elites with 130,000 combat power!
But even with the both of them combined, their word did not carry as much weight as Chen Xiaobei’s did. How frustrating!
“Since the rest of you choose to die, then suit yourself! Master Ao! Let’s go down!”
Zhou Xiaokun was overwhelmed with anger. Together with Ding Ding’ao, he walked down the steps.
“Ahhh! Arrrgh!”
They had only just taken their first steps down when they were sent flying back up, screaming b.l.o.o.d.y murderers.
Boom! Boom!
The two of them were flung so violently that the two giant statues were knocked down and the whole hall trembled.
The group of disciples gasped.
It was true! Bad things would happen if they refused to listen to Chen Xiaobei!
Although Ding Ding’ao and Zhou Xiaokun’s bodies were weakened by thirst and exhaustion, they were still the two strongest people present. The way they were thrown so vigorously proved how strong the enemy was!
The group of disciples were all fragile and spent. The attack had them all shaking like leaves in a hailstorm.
“Blaargh… What… What the h.e.l.l? Argghh… F*ck it hurts…”
Zhou Xiaokun spat a pool of fresh blood, and as he looked down at his chest, there was a b.l.o.o.d.y ghost eye with the size of a palm!
Just like the flames of a fire, the ghost eye ate through Zhou Xiaokun’s clothes and singed his flesh so much so that he was screaming for his life!
“Blaaargh… Ssss… Co… Cold…”
Blood gushed out from Ding Ding’ao’s lips; his breath was foggy, and he was shaking.
On his chest, there was a blue ghost eye which had secured chilly air onto his chest. His lungs and heart felt like they had been frozen, and his breathing was laboured.
“Mr. Chen, what is happening?”
The group watched in trepidation. This strange and terrifying scene before them was the very reason why Chen Xiaobei did not allow them to go down.
Before Chen Xiaobei could answer, two waves of energy surged through the room and two terrifying spirits materialized!
That’s right! They materialized!
Even those without Yin Yang Eyes could see them!
“Are…The…These… Evil spirits? They are the ones who hit Master Ao and Master Zhou… How scary…”
Everyone present were Jianghu people and knew a little of shamans and evil spirits.
“Master Zhou? Are you Zhou Xiaokun?” The red-eyed evil spirit asked.
“Master Ao? Are you Ding Ding’ao?” The blue-eyed evil spirit asked.
Ding Ding’ao and Zhou Xiaokun looked at each other, then back at the evil spirits. “Ye… Yes… We are. How do you know about us?”
Ding Ding’ao tried to outsmart himself and asked, “Do these two evil spirits belong to some powerful elites? I’m Ding Ding’ao from Xingxiu Faction! My faction is considered as one of the top-tiered ancient faction! Please spare me!”
Zhou Xiaokun thought it was a good idea so he did the same. “I am Kunlun Faction’s Zhou Xiaokun! Our faction is very strong, we are considered as one of the top five ancient factions too! Please spare me as well! I’ll make sure to repay the shamans behind these two evil spirits in the future!”
The two idiots had thought that the two evil spirits belonged to some powerful shaman.
If the shaman was also from Jianghu, then he would know Xingxiu and Kunlun, and would definitely have had spared them.
After all, with two powerful ancient factions supporting them, no one in Jianghu would dare to tread on their toes.
The two of them really were quite shrewd. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaobei had already dug a huge grave for them!
“It’s good that you admit it! And because you hurt our little salamander, we will torture you to death!”
Both evil spirit roared simultaneously.
Immediately, a strong intention to murder rose within them!
“Little salamander? What salamander?”
Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao did not even have the chance to explain themselves when the evil spirits charged towards them.
Helpless and vulnerable, the both of them screamed, “Mr. Chen! Save us!”
