Chapter 8 Grudges
The black-hoofed beast is a very sleepy monster, and it is particularly grumpy when it wakes up.
It happens that it is a light sleeper and will wake up at the slightest noise. So every time this happens, it will get angry and even attack indiscriminately.
If it's just normal walking, it won't alarm it, but what if something special happens while passing by?
So for safety reasons, people in the world of immortal cultivation avoid this thing.
"I seem to smell the scent of the black-hoofed beast." Old man Liu lied with his eyes open, "Let's get out of the way."
The others pretended to be surprised and then nodded.
"There are black-hoofed beasts? It's better to avoid them."
"Yes, but don't disturb its sweet dream."
[However, if we really have a grudge against the people from the Liuxian Sect, we can lead them to that road, and then... hehehe.] Mo Jiuwei suddenly thought of something and smiled evilly.
Everyone in the Xianlai Sect exchanged glances, with a gleam of light in their eyes.
"Wait, I have an idea..." Old Man Liu said.
After a while, Du Wangquan, who had eaten, came over with his disciples.
They originally wanted to choose the right side, which was the road without the black-hoofed beast, but when they reached the fork in the road, they saw the people from the Xianlai Sect sitting at the intersection and eating dry food.
The intersection, which was already narrow to begin with, was filled with them, making it impossible to pass through.
"unlucky."
Du Wangquan frowned and stopped, "Let's take another route."
Seeing that the group of people walked onto the road where the black-hoofed beast was, everyone in the Xianlai Sect held back their laughter and forced themselves not to make any sound.
"Those poor monks are really able to hold on. They have persisted for such a long time and have not disbanded the Xianlai Sect. They are really determined!" Du Wangquan's disciple Zhou Ye said with a sneer.
"Who says it's not true? Their leader Xu was... ahem, crippled by us, and the shop in the market was also ruined. Now they can't even afford to eat, but they still stay together instead of going their separate ways." Another disciple also shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, the Xianlai Sect is already at the end of its strength and can't make any more progress, otherwise it would really be a formidable enemy for us."
"Humph, these people are just stubborn and seek their own death!"
Du Wangquan raised his eyebrows and sneered:
"The Xianlai Sect has been seriously divided over the years and has long lost its former glory. At that time, Master Zhong Yu kindly suggested that we abandon the useless disciples and take the elite disciples to join the Liuxian Sect, but Liu Feng refused to agree and insisted on opposing it. Master Zhong Yu repeatedly persuaded us to no avail, so he took us to join the Liuxian Sect, leaving only a dozen or so misfits struggling to support the Xianlai Sect. But what's the point of doing this? Now we can't hold on any longer and are in a precarious situation!"
"Uncle Du is right. Since they are stubborn and unrepentant, we can't blame anyone else for what happened today!"
"We just need to wait. Sooner or later they will be unable to hold on and abandon the mountain gate."
"By the way, have you heard about the situation of that baby?" Du Wangquan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"It is said that Liu Feng picked it up on the road. It's an abandoned baby." A disciple heard the rumor and explained.
Du Wangquan sneered, "They are always like this, often showing inappropriate 'kindness' but never thinking about whether they have the ability to do so."
Just like the previous separation, the Liuxian Sect clearly extended an olive branch to recruit elite disciples from the Xianlai Sect, but a few people including Liu Feng disagreed and insisted on staying in the Xianlai Sect.
But he doesn't even look at how dire the Xianlai Sect has become!
It is precisely because of their resistance that the recruitment seems not so perfect. There are rumors outside that Zhong Yu and others are selling out their family for personal gain, which are extremely unpleasant.
If not for this, Zhong Yu would not have crippled Xu Yihan's leg to vent his anger, and also sent people to shut down the Xianlai Sect's shop that had been open for hundreds of years.
Not only that, in the past few years, no matter what the people from the Xianlai Sect wanted to do, they would secretly sabotage it.
Even those disciples of the Xianlai Sect who ventured out to train and kill monsters, search for spiritual herbs, and earn some crystals for the sect were killed by their people.
Maybe because people keep dying, the people from Xianlai Sect don't dare to go out and take risks easily. When they are really short of money, they just sell things here and there, but how long can the things they have last?
It is only a matter of time before you run out of food and clothing.
"Master, don't worry. The Xianlai Sect has already reached the end of its rope. Otherwise, why would they risk their lives to come to Qingfeng Ridge to take the risk?" Du Wangquan's disciple said with a smile.
Du Wangquan nodded, "My disciple is right."
His eyes darkened as he thought about finding the spiritual object first. After the matter of the spiritual object was dealt with, he would turn around and deal with these people from the Xianlai Sect. He would make sure that they would never return!
As for that little baby...it was just bad luck that she was picked up by someone from the Xianlai Sect!
They were walking in front, while Old Man Liu and Chen Lan were following quietly at a distance.
Chen Lan held Mo Jiuwei in her arms and looked at her from time to time while following her.
"Jiuwei, be good and don't make any noise to disturb them." Chen Lan whispered close to Mo Jiuwei's ear.
[Don't worry, I won't make any noise! ] Mo Jiuwei blinked.
Old Liu frowned.
"Strange, why can't I find where the ink-hoofed beast is hiding?"
In fact, if Mo Jiuwei hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have been able to tell that there was a black-hoofed beast here.
[Just over there in the east, that big stone wall that's half-hidden by leaves, do you see it?] Mo Jiuwei waved her arms, trying very hard to remind him, [There are two black-hoofed beasts sleeping in that cave.]
Both ends!
Old man Liu's eyes lit up, "Found it, it's there."
Chen Lan pursed her lips and tried not to smile. After a moment, she said, "Master, you really have a keen eye!"
Even though Old Man Liu was thick-skinned, there was a patch of red on his cheek. However, he had a dark complexion, so the red spot was not noticeable, at least Mo Jiuwei didn't notice it.
Du Wangquan and his companions were unaware of anything and were hurrying on their way, but suddenly they heard a noise coming from somewhere behind them.
"What's going on?"
He suddenly turned around and looked in confusion at a piece of rock exploding and falling in the distance.
"I don't know, why did this rock collapse so suddenly?"
"Could there be a fight?"
"Could that be where the spiritual creatures are?"
The disciples of Liuxian Sect were confused at first, and then became excited.
Du Wangquan was also delighted and said, "Let's go and take a look."
In fact, it doesn’t look like a spiritual object, because real spiritual objects have extremely strong spiritual energy when they are born, and it is easy to distinguish, but there is no such aura at this time.
However, any abnormality might be related to spiritual objects, so let’s wait and see.
As the group approached the cave, they felt the ground shaking. At the same time, the cave shook again, and a lot of stones and sand fell again.
