"Mother, maybe we should just give up. What if the other members of the Xuan Guang Sect find out?"
"Cannot be detected."
The two disciples of the Xuan Guang Sect noticed something was wrong as they walked. Why did it feel like they were wandering around the same place? Hadn't they been here before?
"Who is it? Which scoundrel dares to play tricks on Xuan Guang Sect's territory?" The two swallowed hard and forced themselves to remain calm as they rebuked.
"Have you forgotten what you did?" Song Xia's sinister voice rang out, and the two began to make random moves.
Shi Liuchuan watched from the sidelines, speechless. Was this the Xuan Guang Sect genius disciple he once thought was insurmountable? He was so flustered and disorganized in the face of trouble, showing none of the composure and judgment expected of a disciple from a major sect.
The two disciples exchanged a glance. What had they done? They had done far too many things, but those they had bullied had neither the ability nor the courage to come looking for trouble.
"Who exactly are you? You cowardly rat who only dares to hide and cower. If you have the guts, come out and fight me."
"Alright!" Song Xia chuckled, but her voice sounded like she was demanding a death sentence. "Then so be it."
Their feet were suddenly bound in mid-air, and they were then hung upside down. Terrified, they struggled frantically, forgetting to use their longswords to attack.
Song Xia suddenly appeared in front of them and said sarcastically, "The disciples of Xuan Guang Sect are nothing special."
Their faces turned pale and red. Finally, as if remembering something, they used their swords to cut off the things binding their feet, and then attacked Song Xia.
"You wretch, prepare to die! Today I'll show you that the Xuan Guang Sect is not so easy to offend."
"Who's the bastard and who's going to die is still up in the air!" Song Xia's moves were unpredictable and her movements were strange, leaving the two of them completely bewildered. She could have easily defeated them in a few moves, but Song Xia insisted on toying with them like she was playing with a puppy.
Gradually, the two realized Song Xia's purpose and became increasingly angry.
"Tsk, now that you've discovered us, this isn't fun anymore," Song Xia said regretfully. "Should we destroy your dantian or your sea of consciousness?"
Seeing the dramatic change in their expressions, she feigned distress: "If your dantian is destroyed, you'll only lose your cultivation level and won't be able to cultivate anymore, but you'll still be conscious. If your sea of consciousness is destroyed, although your body will still have spiritual power, your mind will be dulled. It's a bit of a dilemma. Why don't you choose for yourselves?"
Shi Liuchuan never expected that his mother had the talent to be a villain. Her tone and manner were like a knife to his heart!
At this moment, the two men from Xuan Guang Sect were indeed frightened. Seeing that no one came to their rescue, they knew they probably couldn't escape. So they knelt down and said, "Senior, we were blind to your greatness before. We don't know where we offended you. Please have mercy and forgive us this time."
"Senior, these are our storage bags, please accept them as our tribute."
"Senior, please just ignore us and let us go."
"From now on, when we see our seniors, we will definitely go out of our way to avoid them."
Seeing their humble appearance, Shi Liuchuan looked down on them even more. Where had their arrogant demeanor gone? It turned out that they could abandon all dignity when faced with a threat to their lives.
"Sorry, but I can't let you off the hook!" Song Xia looked at them mockingly. "If I let you go this time, will you report back to the sect? I don't want to be hunted down by the Xuan Guang Sect in the future. No, I should say that now is not the time to confront the Xuan Guang Sect, so I'll take my anger out on you first."
Song Xia directly used Yin Qi to corrode their dantian, and said lightly amidst their painful wails, "It's better to keep you conscious, so you can better reflect on your past mistakes. Remember, everyone has dignity. Please go back and tell the others in Xuan Guang Sect that everything you do has a price, and I will come back to collect it later."
When Song Xia left, she also took the two people's storage bags with her. When she probed them with her divine sense, she found quite a few good things.
"These were obtained by plundering countless rogue cultivators and ordinary people; they even include worldly gold and silver."
"That was so satisfying!" Shi Shuangzhi floated out of the Yin Soul Wood and said, "But now that they've seen your face, will the Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect notice anything?"
"I'm not afraid. First of all, in their eyes, I'm already dead. Secondly, two useless people whose cultivation has been crippled and who can no longer cultivate are of no value to the Xuan Guang Sect. I doubt anyone of slightly higher status would even see them. Finally, even if they recognize me, so what? Can they find me?"
“Mother is right. We are no longer the cultivators they used to bully. If those elders don’t leave the mountain, unless someone like Fairy Su Mu or Master Changqing comes to arrest us personally, who can do anything to us?” Shi Liuchuan’s eyes were firm, much more domineering than when he was bullied in the Divine Origin Sect. “Are we afraid they won’t come? We’ll kill one if they come, and two if they come. We’re in the dark, and they’re in the light. Either way, they’ll suffer.”
Seeing her son like this, Song Xia felt even more confident in her decision. She wanted to help her son and daughter vent their anger so that their inner repression wouldn't be so painful and they could better break free from the past.
However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, after crippling the two men, the three of them left the city as quickly as possible.
"Who dares to be so audacious?" The next day, when the two were discovered, the city's steward was furious. "Neither of you were able to fight back?"
"Manager Quan, you must avenge us! That person came specifically for our Xuan Guang Sect!"
"Is it aimed at the Xuan Guang Sect or just at the two of you? Haven't you figured out what you've done in the past?"
Having lost their cultivation, the two suffered further internal injuries under the steward's intimidation, and both coughed up blood: "Steward Quan, we really didn't lie. Before that person left, he said that he would continue to cause trouble for the Xuan Guang Sect."
“I’ve never seen anyone dare to oppose our Xuan Guang Sect before. Draw her face.”
After the two finished drawing, they wanted to ask Steward Quan for some elixirs to heal their injuries, but instead they were thrown out.
"A piece of trash who has disgraced the sect, yet dares to covet elixirs. He is no longer allowed to call himself a disciple of the Xuan Guang Sect."
When they were thrown to the end of the street, the two never expected this outcome. They thought the sect would never abandon them. Even if they weren't given any elixirs, were they not even allowed to return to their cave dwelling? They had built that cave dwelling themselves, and it contained a lot of cultivation resources! Was that all they would ever have?
The two were so angry that they fainted.
Just when they thought this was the worst possible outcome, those who had been bullied by them came looking for them after learning of their current situation. This is what is known as cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable. Although the laws of heaven no longer exist, some things still follow their own set of rules.
