Chapter 113 A Fox Eyeing His Prey
The night in Frozen Wraith Sect was not as calm as the previous nights. Tonight the Sect Master berated Xiawen Dong for not even examining the tent before going inside. The plan was so simple! Yet it was ruined because of this man"s carelessness! As someone with Xiawen Dong"s cultivation, sensing a trap should be easy! How could he miss something like this?
In the end, the Sect Master punished him by making him stay in his abode for a year or until he recovers his strength! No women, no more playing! Xiawen Dong needed to breakthrough or he would personally end his life!
"Brother… I believe you were too harsh."
"Hmph! That son of yours would never learn unless I punish him like this! As the future of our clan and Sect, he needed to act like a smart man!" Sect Master Jiang"s face was dark. "Moreover, because of what he did, the devil clan were agitated and wanted to just kidnapped that Fang Girl so they could use her body as a tool in the array. Can we really take the anger of the Devil clan? Do you think, they won"t kill everyone in our clan if we refuse to follow their plan?"
"But brother… how are we going to take the Fang girl? Her master is more powerful than you. Unless… are you going to breakthrough soon?"
"In two years!" the Sect Master said. "I can seclude myself and breakthrough in two years! If that happens… I need you to act as the new Sect Master while I cultivate. Do you hear me?"
"Yes Elder brother. You can just trust me."
"Alright. You should leave now. I needed to make preparations for my seclusion." The sect master motioned his brother to leave. Seeing this Elder Xiawen immediately left the Sect Master"s immortal cave and started flying towards his cave. The night was still young so the elder decided to have a little bit of drink before retiring towards his concubine"s room.
After he went inside his cave, the elder immediately got an old alcohol that he bought from an auction and started taking small sips. Once the Frozen Wraith would have the array, the devil clan would help them become the most powerful clan in this continent. If that happens he would be able to do everything that he wanted to do. Be it killing or having all the women. He couldhave it all!
"The alcohol smells good." A cold voice suddenly echoed inside his cave. He immediately froze. He didn"t notice anyone enter his cave, nor felt any presence of a person coming towards him. This could only mean one thing. The person was extremely powerful. "Ah… the last time… I drank something like that was five hundred years ago."
"Who are you!?"
Soon, a shadow emerged from his cultivation room. A man wearing long black robes with white hair walked towards him. The Elder"s eyes almost jumped out of its sockets.
"You— Why are you here?" But most importantly, why didn"t he notice this man"s arrival. Earlier, when he probed Mo Li"s strength, he was sure that he was far stronger than this man. He immediately sent his spiritual sense only for it to bounce back towards him. The elder immediately let out a series of coughs, surprised at the sudden backlash.
This Mo Li is far more powerful than he originally thought! His face immediately sank as he stood from his seat. "Why are you here?"
"I promised to kill you. Didn"t I?" Mo Li sat on the chair opposite him. With a small wave of his hand, a cup appeared in front of him. He then poured himself some of the wine and smiled at the elder. "I always honor my promise."
"You— Do you know who I am? If you kill me— "he felt himself trembled just from staring at Mo Li"s gray eyes. "You— "He remembered that this man"s eyes were not gray before. What could this mean?
"Wrong question." Mo Li downed the wine, still smiling. "Shouldn"t you ask me… who am I?" His phoenix eyes, seemed to sparkle as he watched the color leave the Elder"s face.
The elder watched as Mo Li pour himself another cup of wine, almost lazily. Every action was elegant, precise with a tinge of danger. Just who was this man? "Killing me… would offend the whole Frozen Wraith Sect!" The elder tried to stop his own voice from shaking.
A snort escaped Mo Li"s lips. "That is only… if they know who killed you." He poured himself a third cup. "You know… just the thought of you asking my wife to marry your son… was enough reason for me to kill your whole clan."
"You— "
"But I won"t." Mo Li smirked. "A war is coming and your clan… will act like clowns for my entertainment."
The elder felt a cold chill run down his back. He opened his mouth but no words came out of his lips. For the first time in a thousand years, the Elder"s hands started shaking from fear. He immediately balled his fist. Just from the pressure that Mo Li was giving off, he could determine that this man was more powerful than their Sect Master. He was even more powerful than the Sect Master of the Eight Palms Sect!? How could an existence like this come into this world? He gulped, watching silently as Mo Li finished his wine.
"Well then… "Mo Li eyed him. "Since I am a gentleman… I will ask you for your last words." He snorted, tilting his head, like a fox eyeing his prey.
"I—"
"Kidding." Mo Li said before he waved his right hand. And just like that the life of an Elder ended. In a blink of an eye, the Elder"s body turned into a stone statue before crumbling into small pieces of stones. With another wave of Mo Li"s hand, the little stones turned into small dust, that easily scattered inside and outside the immortal cave.
Of course, Fang Yu was unaware about the things that transpired as she slept like a baby in Mo Li"s
bed.
