"Now, I am old and senile and no longer able to serve the leader in the sect. I humbly beg the leader to consider my years of service and grant me the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, and allow me to leave the sect and retire to the mountains."
As the last word fell, Qu Yang kowtowed and knelt on the ground.
The slight trembling in his body revealed the tension in Qu Yang's heart at that moment.
Looking at Qu Yang kneeling in front of Dongfang Bubai, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly, while Sang San Niang beside him also breathed slightly.
Everyone knows that the Sun Moon Cult only takes in resources and never gives them back.
Once a member of the Sun Moon Cult, always a member of the Sun Moon Cult.
Unless Dongfang Bubai takes the initiative to speak, no one in the entire sect dares to voluntarily mention leaving the Sun Moon Divine Sect.
After all, the last person who dared to say he wanted to leave the Sun Moon Cult is now buried with grass growing three feet high.
Therefore, looking at Qu Yang's actions at this moment, Sang San Niang felt that he was tantamount to actively seeking death.
Immediately, Sang San Niang's gaze towards Qu Yang held a hint of sorrow, as if she were looking at a dead man.
In contrast, Dongfang Bubai's gaze fell on Qu Yang kneeling before him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, his heart already harboring resentment.
However, as if suddenly remembering something, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
After a few breaths, Dongfang Bubai spoke: "Since you wish to retire to the mountains, considering the years you have risked your life for this leader, I will grant your wish!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Yang looked up in astonishment.
Even Sang San Niang, who was standing to the side, froze instantly.
Clearly, Dongfang Bubai had not expected that he would agree to Qu Yang's retirement at this moment.
Then, to the astonishment of the two, Dongfang Bubai flicked his sleeve, and a vermilion pill flew in an arc and hovered in front of Qu Yang.
"This is the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, eat it!"
If it were up to Dongfang Bubai's usual temperament, Qu Yang could leave the Sun Moon Cult, but only after his death.
But now that Qu Feiyan is by Chu Qinghe's side, it's somewhat inappropriate for Qu Yang, as Qu Feiyan's grandfather, to be under Dongfang Bubai's command.
This time, since Qu Yang himself proposed to retire to the mountains, it saved Dongfang Bubai the trouble of saying anything.
However, neither Qu Yang nor Sang San Niang knew what Dongfang Bubai was thinking.
Qu Yang carefully held the pill in his hand, looking at the vermilion pill between his fingers, but hesitated.
As is widely known, all elders and outstanding disciples of the Sun Moon Cult are bestowed with a Three Corpse Brain God Pill.
This poison signifies a rise in status within the Sun Moon Cult, marking entry into its core.
However, after taking the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, life and death were also entirely in Dongfang Bubai's control.
This is one of the main reasons why the entire Sun Moon Cult can be said to be dominated by Dongfang Bubai, and no one dares to oppose him.
The Three Corpse Brain God Pill is something that many members of the Sun Moon Cult have seen.
However, none of the elders and disciples of the Sun Moon Sect had ever seen the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill.
In recent years, many people have even doubted that there is no antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill.
Therefore, looking at the pill between his fingers, Qu Yang had no idea whether it was real or fake, or whether it was an antidote or a poison that would send him on his way.
Even Sang San Niang looked at the pills in Qu Yang's hand with doubt in her eyes.
As if knowing what Qu Yang was thinking, Dongfang Bubai's eyes turned cold.
But the next second, Dongfang Bubai took a deep breath to calm down his impatience.
After calming his anger, Dongfang Bubai said coldly, "Do you think that if I wanted to do something to you, you would be worth me going to so much trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Yang froze and quickly replied, "This subordinate dares not, thank you for your great kindness, Master."
As he spoke, Qu Yang felt more at ease.
As Dongfang Bubai said, with Dongfang Bubai's strength, if he really wanted to attack him, Qu Yang knew he would have no chance of fighting back.
Moreover, given Dongfang Bubai's habits, he always prefers to do things directly and straightforwardly, and he certainly disdains deceiving people in such a deliberate way.
With this thought in mind, Qu Yang excitedly put the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill into his mouth.
A moment later, as the toxins in his body were quickly eliminated, Qu Yang knelt down again and said, "Your subordinate thanks the sect leader for his great kindness."
In response to Qu Yang's words, Dongfang Bubai snorted and then slowly said, "Besides, Qu Feiyan is your granddaughter, isn't she?"
Upon hearing the person mentioned by Dongfang Bubai, Qu Yang's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, my granddaughter is indeed named Feiyan."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai slowly said, "This girl serves in my courtyard. You may leave, but I do not wish to hear of her leaving."
Upon hearing this, Qu Yang's expression changed drastically. He seemed to think that Dongfang Bubai had let him go but wanted to pull Qu Feiyan into the Sun Moon Cult.
He immediately said, "Master, Fei Yan's parents were killed by the enemies of the Sun Moon Sect many years ago. She has been living with me all these years. Please, Master, show mercy and spare this girl's life."
Taking in Qu Yang's reaction, Dongfang Bubai knew perfectly well that Qu Yang had misunderstood.
Immediately, Dongfang Bubai coldly said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't stoop to doing anything to a little girl."
After saying that, perhaps out of impatience, Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything more to Qu Yang. Instead, he left with the words, "I'll have that girl come out now. You can leave after you see her!" Then, without waiting for Qu Yang's reaction, he vanished in a flash before their eyes.
As Dongfang Bubai left, Qu Yang couldn't help but slump to the ground, all traces of the joy he felt after being detoxified vanished.
