Chapter 59 – Questioning
Lu Yunjie s.h.i.+vered. He forced a smile and said, “w.a.n.g…brother w.a.n.g do you need something? If you need some spiritual energy gathering pills, I still have a lot left and can give some to you.”
“Third brother, there’s something I want from you: your helper, w.a.n.g Hao.” w.a.n.g Lin stared at Lu Yunjie. Before, he was not confident enough to go against Lu Yunjie, so he didn’t help w.a.n.g Hao. But, after this battle, he had a much better understanding of his own power.
Lu Yunjie’s expression become unsettled. He bitterly laughed in his heart. He clenched his teeth and said, “w.a.n.g Lin, that w.a.n.g Hao is my helper and is very important to my pill creation, so I can’t agree!”
Huang Long stood at the side, very puzzled, and shouted, “Lu Yunjie, it’s only a helper. How important can he be?”
Lu Yunjie’s face was very bitter. He decided to bite the bullet and said, “Sect head, disciple can’t obey. w.a.n.g Hao has already….”
w.a.n.g Lin’s expression quickly changed. He moved like lightning toward the Heng Yue Peak.
Huang Long and the other elders were all confused and followed behind. Dao Xu grabbed Lu Yunjie as he followed w.a.n.g Lin.
Soon, w.a.n.g Lin arrived above the pill house in the main courtyard. He scanned the the area with his divine sense and quickly found w.a.n.g Hao’s weak life force in the back room. The moment he entered the room, his anger reached its limit.
In the large room was a giant pill furnace with w.a.n.g Hao sitting cross legged inside. His life force was growing weaker and weaker.
w.a.n.g Lin didn’t even blink. He moved his hand and sent out his attraction technique to grab w.a.n.g Hao. As the hand formed by the technique came closer to the pill furnace, a rainbow colored light came out from the furnace and collided with the hand.
w.a.n.g Lin coldly snorted. Immediately, the power of the attraction technique reached its peak and broke the rainbow colored light. w.a.n.g Lin gently grabbed w.a.n.g Hao and placed him on the ground.
His placed his right hand on w.a.n.g Hao’s forehead and remained silent.
At that moment, Huang Long and the other elders arrived as well. The red face elder looked at the pill furnace, then at w.a.n.g Hao. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted, “Fire Furnace Trail!”
Dao Xu carefully looked at Lu Yunjie, who was in his hand. He threw him on the ground and said, “Lu Yunjie, you sure have guts! Although this Fire Furnace Trial isn’t banned, you can only use it on people outside the sect, and never on anyone inside! Did you forget?!”
Lu Yunjie’s face was completely pale. He kneeled on the ground and whispered, “Disciple came, joined the sect, and became your disciple at age 15. It has been 25 years and disciple is still stuck at the 6th layer. Disciple is unwilling to give up. Once this Fire Furnace Trial is complete, the pill can not only extend my life, but will also give me a chance to break through, so I had to try, no matter what. This w.a.n.g Hao is my personal helper. According to the sect rules, I can do whatever I wish, and he is not part of the sect, so I have done nothing wrong!”
w.a.n.g Lin opened his eyes. Before, w.a.n.g Hao’s life was in critical condition, but after he sent spiritual energy into w.a.n.g Hao’s body, he was able to save w.a.n.g Hao’s life. After he heard Lu Yunjie’s words, he let out a few snorts.
Huang Long frowned. On one side was the genius w.a.n.g Lin, and on the other side was a faithful disciple of 25 years, Lu Yunjie. He found this decision very hard to make. After pondering for a while, he made a decision and said to Dao Xu, “Junior brother Dao Xu, you are in charge of disciplinary actions. How do you want to deal with Lu Yunjie?”
The moment Dao Xu heard this, he immediately understood sect head’s decision and said, “ Lu Yunjie will go into seclusion for 20 years.”
Huang Long nodded and turned to w.a.n.g Lin. He kindly said, “w.a.n.g Lin, from now on, this w.a.n.g Hao will become an inner disciple. Consider it making it up to him. From now on, you can’t go look for Lu Yunjie for trouble anymore. After all, you are all in the same sect.”
w.a.n.g Lin glanced at Lu Yunjie and said, “Disciple obeys!”
Huang Long waved his sleeves and said, “Ok, since the thing is resolved, Dao Xu, you deal with the matter here, including w.a.n.g Hao’s retreatment. w.a.n.g Lin, you follow me.” With that, he walked out of the room and then floated into the air.
Dao Xu looked at w.a.n.g Lin and smiled, “Disciple nephew w.a.n.g Lin, don’t worry and leave w.a.n.g Hao to me. As long as he is still alive, I’ll find a way for him to recover.”
w.a.n.g Lin slightly nodded. After taking a look at w.a.n.g Hao, whose face had recovered a little, he left the pill house and followed Huang Long.
w.a.n.g Lin had been thinking this whole time. He understood fully well why sect head Huang Long wanted to talk to him alone. Before long, Huang Long brought w.a.n.g Lin into the main hall. Then, he suddenly shouted, “w.a.n.g Lin, you sure have guts!”
w.a.n.g Lin’s expression remained calm and said, “Sect head, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Huang Long grunted and said, “During that exchange, what technique did you really use?”
w.a.n.g Lin chuckled and said, “Attraction technique. If sect head doesn’t believe me, you can have a closer look.” With that, he activated the attraction technique and grabbed all the tables and chairs in the main hall. After making them circle the room a few times, he put them back to where they were.
Huang Long carefully examined the technique, then began to ponder. After a long time, he suddenly asked, “Before, you were obviously at the 3rd layer and, even now, you still look like you are at the 3rd layer. How do you have so much power? What level are you at exactly? w.a.n.g Lin, tell me the truth!”
w.a.n.g Lin’s face revealed a bitter expression and said, “Disciple doesn’t really understand. I just kept on cultivating and it became like this. As for what level I have reached, disciple doesn’t know.”
Huang Long stared at w.a.n.g Lin and said, in a deep voice, “w.a.n.g Lin, you’re still not going to tell me?”
w.a.n.g Lin wrily smiled and said, “Disciple really doesn’t know.”
Huang Long secretly sighed. He didn’t want to pressure w.a.n.g Lin too much because, no matter what, w.a.n.g Lin was still a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect, and he had also just done the sect a great service. He will also very likely become a star among the inner disciples. Thinking about it, his expression became friendly and said, “What was in that bottle you gave to the Xuan Dao Sect?”
w.a.n.g Lin chuckled. He waved his right hand and took out two small bottles. He handed them to Huang Long and said, “Sect head is talking about this? Sect head should know these better than me. It’s just the river water from the back mountain.”
