1494 Shooting oneself in the foot
The group of people who were being watched were in such a state: The seven stars sect and bright moon sect had already lost a few of their experts to Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen, and Gongxi kuangdao. The other heaven origin stage experts had also fallen to elder Qing and the other clear wind sect elders. Now, even the sect master was lying on the ground half-dead, no longer able to muster any fighting spirit. All of them stood in their original positions uneasily, not knowing where to go. They wanted to escape, but when they saw Feng Sicheng’s miserable state, they couldn’t move their feet.
Feng Yuanqing took two steps forward and swept his gaze across the faces of these people. His imposing aura made everyone’s heart turn cold.
“Sect leader Feng, we were actually forced by that bastard du Yiwen to do this. We had no choice but to do this. I hope that the old sect leader will let us off on account of the marriage between our two sects.” One of the old men forced a smile that was uglier than a crying face as he begged Feng Yuanqing for mercy.
“Hmph, if it wasn’t for the marriage, the experts of the clear wind sect would have all died, and we wouldn’t be in such danger today. And you still have the face to talk about marriage!” It was fine if they did not mention the marriage alliance, but once they mentioned it, Feng Yuanqing was furious.
The man’s face turned red after hearing Feng Yuanqing’s words. He was so embarrassed that he could not speak.
“Forget it. I’ll let you live on account of our hundreds of years of friendship. From now on, don’t let me find out that you’re in the territory of the clear wind sect. Otherwise, you won’t have the luck you have today.” Feng Yuanqing said indifferently.
“Thank you for sparing our lives, sect leader Feng. We’ll leave now, we’ll leave now.” The old man heaved a long sigh of relief. After he finished speaking, he looked at Ling chule with a bitter expression.”Sect master Ling, do you think the poison outside can be used?”
“Qiu gaohe, go outside and remove the poison.” Ling Chuxi’s eyes turned cold as she said this to Qiu gaohe. If the poison was not removed, Feng Yuanqing’s words would have been in vain. She did not have any objections to Feng Yuanqing’s decision. This was the clear wind sect’s matter. It was none of her business.
Moreover, Ling Chuxi more or less knew what Feng Yuanqing was thinking. Although the seven Star sect and the bright moon sect had been completely defeated in today’s battle, if they were really forced into a corner, even a rabbit would bite. The clear wind sect had been declining over the years, and its strength had been greatly reduced due to internal strife. It would not benefit the clear wind sect if they were to fight to the death.
The seven stars sect and bright moon sect had lost a lot of their experts in this battle. As long as the clear wind sect could catch their breath, they would be able to capture them all at once. In fact, even if the clear wind sect did not make a move, with their current strength and no one to protect them, they would not be able to survive in the sect’s Saint realm. In the past, the clear wind sect had protected them, but now, these two sects repaid kindness with enmity. Moreover, their strength had been greatly reduced, so there were many people who wanted to beat up the fallen dogs and take advantage of the situation. He just needed to find an excuse to punish the ungrateful and vile people, and he could deal with them.
All these were not Ling Chuxi’s concern. What she was most curious about now was where Qiu gaohe had learned such impressive poison techniques.
“Yes, Lord sect master.” Qiu gaohe’s words interrupted Ling Chuxi’s train of thought.
At this moment, Qiu gaohe’s face was bruised and swollen, and he was so regretful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. Anyone who used poison knew that it was easy to poison but hard to detoxify. Just now, he had almost exhausted himself to the point of exhaustion while setting up the poison formation outside. Now that he had detoxified the poison, he would probably lose half of his old life that had been beaten up by ye Qianhe. Sigh, he really shot himself in the foot.
