These words also caused the young men who were having a meal to pause and subconsciously looked up at each other. Although there was no movement on their faces, the slight movement of their eyes and eyebrows showed that they understood and felt proud of each other.
The food in my mouth also tasted much better.
They listened silently.
only.
The storyteller continued, "It's a pity that Sheng Wu is an outlier in the immortal cultivation sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around who were already expecting something suddenly became even more curious.
Yu Chenming and the others suddenly frowned their raised brows, and Luo Qi almost lost his composure and tightened the chopsticks in his hand, but he had matured a bit and was not so impulsive.
But everyone's expressions were not much better. They just continued to listen, wanting to see how these mortals wanted to discredit their Master.
The storyteller continued, "Originally, all immortal sects were supposed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, shouldering the heavy responsibility of exorcising demons and monsters. But the most gifted, Saint Wu, began touring various sects six months ago. If she saw something she liked, she'd give it to them if they were tactful, but if she refused, she'd go on a killing spree! She'd literally flood the Changhe River with blood, slaughtering anyone who disobeyed her! As a result, the entire immortal sect was so angry about her that they couldn't speak out and could only close their doors to visitors."
"Even the treasure of my Qinglong Kingdom, the Soul-Calling Banner, disappeared overnight. Coincidentally, during that period, someone saw the Immortal Saint Wu appear in the capital of Qinglong Kingdom. Therefore, the deep meaning behind this is unspeakable..." Although the storyteller left the question in suspense, he also hinted at the meaning.
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone in the tavern was shocked!
"This Saint Wuxianzun is so domineering! How dare he kill innocent people!"
"Hiss, no wonder my Qinglong soldiers were searching the capital for something for a while."
"This Immortal Saint Wu is acting so cruelly. The Xianyun Sect is the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation, always upholding justice and exorcising demons. Didn't the Xianyun Sect say anything?"
Yu Chenming and others listened silently, frowning subconsciously.
Hua Lingjiu, a demon, smacked the peanuts in his mouth: "......"
Not only did the master not get rid of him, he even accepted him as his disciple.
Huai Jin, an evil cultivator, drank his tea without changing his expression.
The group tacitly agreed not to say anything in the lobby on the first floor. They just quickly finished their meal and went to Yu Chenming's guest room first.
Yu Chenming closed the door and then set up a soundproof barrier.
"Big Brother, the slander against our Master by both the mortal world and the immortal cultivation world is so severe, it's simply absurd!"
Luo Ba lost his temper for a moment and shouted harshly.
After all, the eleven people had just come out of the back mountain of Xianyun Sect after six months. They were either busy with the competition or practicing, and did not talk to other disciples of the immortal sect. The people from other immortal sects were concerned about Sheng Wu and did not dare to discuss Sheng Wu's violent deeds in the past six months.
Therefore, everyone just thought that Sheng Wu had gained many magical instruments through training and improved her cultivation, but they did not dare to think deeply about how she obtained those things.
However, only Luo Ba spoke, while the other disciples all pursed their lips and frowned in silence, their eyes filled with thoughts and confusion.
Seeing this, Luo Ba, no matter how slow he was, realized that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at everyone.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?!"
He couldn't bear to see his master being scolded like that by others, and he became a little emotional.
"Calm down first."
It was Yu Chenming who came over and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Think carefully, which of the magical instruments our Master gave us isn't from another country or sect?"
Luo Ba opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his mind suddenly cleared up. Yes, the things that the master gave him were all famous magical instruments from other families.
Even Luo Qi's house was robbed.
"That's also..."
Luo Ba was just about to say that it was not right to throw dirty water on the master like that.
Suddenly, things that he had subconsciously ignored became clear.
No, the soul-calling banners of the Qinglong Kingdom are national treasures. How could they be given to the master so easily? Moreover, when the new disciples were competing, the elders seemed to be eyeing half of the magic weapon under the pretext of helping the master to settle the crisis.
Therefore, Master pretended to give it to them.
So, it’s okay if Master just snatches it away, but it’s really true.
Bloodbathed other families!
Luo Ba's pupils trembled, and he subconsciously turned to look at the others, "You...you all guessed the truth?!"
Yu Chenming's face remained calm. "Luo Ba, from the day we became Master's disciples, we should have understood that Master cultivates the Way of Mercy. Her exceptional talent, which allows her to behave in this way, proves that she has long lost much of her earthly compassion. Over the past six months, do you think Master is closer to a heartless immortal, or a mortal with inexhaustible emotions and desires?"
Every word of this is precious.
Luo Ba was somewhat shocked. Indeed, his master had said long ago that she practiced the way of ruthlessness and would never show mercy in anything she did.
No matter whether she threw them into the back mountain to fend for themselves without hesitation half a year ago, or she blew up the Xianyun Sect's treasure house yesterday, in fact, they were all tacitly approving of their master's temper.
Subconsciously want to ignore morality and justice and make excuses for her.
But now the words of those mortals had torn open their partiality towards Sheng Wu, making him feel somewhat contradictory for a moment.
After being taught by Sheng Wu about some things in the past six months, the others were much more open-minded than Luo Ba. Since they had become the master's disciples, they just wanted to be worthy of those who treated them well.
As for the rest, there was no need to worry about them. The Way of Ruthlessness was about breaking free from all emotional constraints.
Finally, Yu Chenming patted Luo Ba on the shoulder and said, "Okay, think about it carefully first. Don't let Master's teachings go to waste."
Hearing this, Luo Ba, who had lowered his head, his eyes moved slightly, he opened his mouth, and finally nodded.
He left the room without saying a word, obviously needing to digest these values that were different from the education he had received since childhood in the mortal world.
After all, they are only thirteen-year-old boys. How can they calmly abandon these emotions?
......
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
At night, the disciples went down to the hall to eat, but Sheng Wu still stayed in the room and did not come out.
The last person to come down was Luo Ba. The confusion between his brows had faded a lot, and it was obvious that he had let it go a lot.
Even if they heard the storyteller's words about the master again as they did during the day, they were able to calm down and listen calmly.
Everyone ate in silence, and soon the storyteller changed the subject.
"Hey, recently, a strange thing happened in a village fifty miles northwest of Cangling City."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people eating in the lobby looked sideways.
"Lao Zhang, what a strange thing! Could it be that another sow ran away from someone else's house?"
This immediately caused a burst of laughter.
The storyteller, Lao Zhang, said, "Hey, what are you talking about? This is really a strange thing. If things go wrong, someone might die!"
The laughter died down as everyone's interest was genuinely piqued.
......
