Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 575 Undercurrent

Having obtained a sufficient amount of talisman paper, Wu Ming naturally dared not slack off in the slightest.

He rushed back to his residence without stopping and devoted himself to the busy work of making talismans.

However, at this very moment, when all the major powers were on high alert against the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators and dared not let their guard down, something unexpected happened.

Several unidentified cultivators secretly broke away from their respective camps, bypassed the eyes and ears of various forces, and cautiously headed towards a remote mountain valley a hundred miles away from Qingluan Mountain.

Before long, the cultivators arrived at their destination one after another and gathered together.

Among the group of people, two familiar faces of Wu Ming stood out.

It turned out that one of the two people standing at the forefront of the crowd of cultivators was the old man who had a deep-seated hatred for Wu Ming and wished he could tear him to pieces—Elder Wei Tao of the Blood Fiend Sect.

As for the other person, it was the pseudo-core realm expert who was besieged by Wu Ming and his group of cultivators a few nights ago.

This person was also an elder of the Blood Fiend Sect, named Ying Zhibai.

At this moment, directly opposite Wei Tao and Ying Zhibai, there were two neatly arranged teams.

One of the groups consisted of a dozen or so cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, standing in front of Ying Zhibai.

The other group, consisting of only five people, exuded an aura that was in no way inferior to the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators standing nearby.

Greetings, Elder Wei! Greetings, Elder Ying!

The group of cultivators shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the entire space.

However, Wei Tao and Ying Zhibai did not respond to the greetings from the crowd. They closed their eyes, as if they were deep in thought.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators felt a surge of awe and lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They were well aware of the high status and great strength of these two elders.

If you accidentally anger them, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Time ticked by, and the air around us seemed to grow increasingly heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

The cultivators gradually found the atmosphere unbearable, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down their foreheads and noses, soaking their clothes.

Nevertheless, these cultivators endured their physical discomfort and stood motionless, fearing that the slightest movement would attract the attention of the two elders.

After all, in the Blood Fiend Sect, strength is the key factor that determines everything.

The two men before them, Wei Tao and Ying Zhibai, are undoubtedly among the strongest, and their methods are probably beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just then, Ying Zhibai, who had been standing at the head of the table with his eyes closed in deep thought, suddenly opened his eyes!

In an instant, two incredibly sharp and dazzling beams of light shot out from his eyes!

This sudden turn of events caused all the cultivators present to tremble.

It felt as if countless sharp needles were piercing their backs at the same time, causing extreme discomfort. Some cultivators were even on the verge of collapse and knelt down.

"Do you know? Lille and the others have been doing things that have greatly disappointed me lately!"

Ying Zhibai's voice didn't sound deafening, but the majesty and oppressive feeling it contained were truly unbearable for the group of cultivators.

Before Ying Zhibai could finish speaking, the group of cultivators in front of him all knelt down with a thud and shouted in unison: Elder Ying, please calm down! Your subordinate knows his mistake!

However, Ying Zhibai did not respond to or pay any attention to the group's act of confessing their crimes.

He continued speaking slowly and deliberately: "Not only did you fail to stir up trouble within those forces, but you also backfired, causing them to discover our presence and begin to strengthen their defenses."

This undoubtedly adds many times the difficulty to the tasks we are about to undertake.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, large beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads as if they had been drenched in a torrential downpour.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with terror and despair.

Let the elders punish me as they see fit!

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices trembling like candles in the wind, fearing that a single wrong word would bring even harsher punishment.

However, just as these people were filled with fear and unease, Wei Tao, who had been standing to the side seemingly at ease, suddenly spoke up.

Alright, Brother Ying, why get so angry?

We'll just teach them a lesson; we have more important things to do!

His tone was calm and composed, as if he didn't take the group of trembling cultivators in front of him seriously at all.

The cultivators who were kneeling on the ground couldn't help but wonder: Why is Elder Wei, who is usually so cold and ruthless, so easy to talk to today? Has the sun risen in the west or something?

Despite their many doubts, their lives were at stake, and no one dared to be negligent in the slightest.

The cultivators all cast grateful glances at Wei Tao.

However, upon seeing this scene, Wei Tao's lips curled slightly upward, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

But beneath that faint smile lay an indescribable hint of mockery, though the cultivators, all kneeling and bowing, failed to notice.

Wei Tao slowly spoke: "Since that's the case, I hope you can remember what I said today."

The small punishment is this: when the mission is finally completed, everyone's harvest must be reduced by 20%, and you must not complain!

Anyone who dares to disobey my orders, hmph, will face the consequences!

Upon hearing Wei Tao's words, the kneeling cultivators were stunned for a moment, then their faces showed a look of sudden realization.

So that's how it is! No wonder Elder Wei, who is usually so cruel and ruthless, spoke to them; I never expected him to be waiting for them here!

However, faced with this situation, the kneeling monks dared not utter the slightest objection.

After all, compared to life, a little gain is nothing.

If they were to anger the two elders over such a trivial matter, they would be truly devastated.

Who knows when, I might inexplicably disappear from this world, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.

Ultimately, it became a reason for the sect's higher-ups to retaliate against righteous cultivators.

Thinking of this, the cultivators gritted their teeth, suppressing their reluctance and anger, and expressed their willingness to accept this arrangement, saying in unison:

"We have absolutely no objection and will accept the punishment from the two elders. Please rest assured, elders!"
