Chapter 827 - 248: [Old Wang’s Gift] (2)
"So you want to fulfill your desires, deceive me with fake affections, then let me watch you be all lovey-dovey with another man?!"
"I, I... I just want to climb high! What did I do wrong!!"
"If you want to climb high, do it on your own! If you use dirty methods, then bear the consequences!" Wang Guishan sneered.
"I..."
"Come on, the sword is out, use it!" Wang Guishan laughed wildly: "Without my blood to support you, you’re just a useless person who needs a Spirit Communication Pill just to get started! Fight me?
With what? With the sword I forged for you? With the stolen immortal herbs sold off to exchange for spells and divine techniques?"
"You, don’t push me!" The girl screamed — Wang Guishan suddenly realized, for the first time, that the sound of this woman’s screaming was so piercingly unpleasant and ugly!
"Will you kill me or not? If not, I’m leaving!" Wang Guishan said coldly: "By the way, not only is your talent poor, you’re actually very stupid, stupid and malicious!
Drawing your sword against me here? In the core area of the sect?! Unless you can kill me with one strike!
Otherwise, once we start fighting, it will soon attract others. Then there will be a sect interrogation over an internal conflict... can you escape?"
Clang, the sword in the woman’s hand fell to the ground.
As if the sword were burning hot, she quickly dropped it, trying to walk towards Wang Guishan: "Senior Brother! Brother Guishan, it’s me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was desperate and went crazy just now, I, I won’t do anything to you..."
Wang Guishan sneered and stepped back, refusing to let this woman get close to him.
"I was wrong! It was my mistake! I, just now... I meant nothing with him, I..." The woman cried, but after her previous ferocious look, her features still appeared so ugly, forcing a pitiful tone to plead: "Brother Guishan, haven’t you always liked me? I, I won’t be your sister anymore, I won’t let you be my brother. I, I’ll be your Dao Companion!
Yes! Dao Companion!
Haven’t you always wanted me to be your Dao Companion?
I’ll be your Dao Companion, okay? From now on, I’ll be with you for life, I’ll serve you, respect you..."
Wang Guishan spat harshly on the ground.
"I find it filthy!"
He no longer paid attention to the woman, turned around, and ran towards the Alchemy Hall.
·
The woman ultimately did not dare to act — Wang Guishan was right, unless she could kill him in one strike and then flee immediately.
But it’s actually useless, disciples dying in the core areas of the sect, how could such matters not be thoroughly investigated?
There is no escape!
·
Wang Guishan rushed into Alchemy Hall, knelt before his master, and clearly explained the theft of the [Seven Revolving Heartless Fruit].
What followed became much simpler.
Evidence?
It’s very simple to get evidence within the sect.
The woman was summoned to Jing’an Hall, where an elder directly interrogated her, discerning with mana, and the woman’s cultivation was insufficient to resist the elder’s spells.
Furthermore, she couldn’t explain the origin of the jade coins she exchanged for spells...
She had just been taken into the Fourth Elder’s tutelage at Jing’an Hall, who immediately annulled the decision to accept her as a disciple.
The woman’s punishment was measured, having stolen sect property, expelled from Jing’an Hall, demoted to first level, and sentenced to confinement in the Heart Demon Cave for half a year.
Previously, when Wang Guishan was punished, he was demoted from third level to first level, now the punishment is lightened, restoring him to second level disciple — his crime is no longer stealing sect property, but reduced to mere negligence.
The biggest benefit is that his reputation is not so sullied.
Additionally, the decision to expel him from Alchemy Hall was overturned, allowing him to return to Alchemy Hall.
Only Wang Guiyuan himself expressed he couldn’t bear to stay in the Alchemy Hall, nor to remain under his master’s tutelage.
He asked his master to expel him, moving to the sect’s affairs hall, to become an ordinary disciple responsible for miscellaneous tasks.
·
Half a year later, when the woman was released from the Heart Demon Cave, she was nearly unrecognizable.
In the Heart Demon Cave, half a year of reflection was far from easy — Wang Guishan could emerge unscathed after half a year because his disposition was genuinely excellent.
But the woman’s talent was far inferior, and her disposition was unbearable.
The saying goes, during the day don’t do evil deeds, at night don’t fear ghosts knocking.
She had committed many evil deeds, and her obsession was deep, her Heart Demon root was already deep-seated long before, even without this incident, her cultivation wouldn’t go far.
Inside the Heart Demon Cave, Primordial Spirit Arrays control, various spells torment the cultivator’s mind and divine sense.
If one’s disposition is good, they can withstand it.
If one’s disposition is poor, when they come out, their Primordial Spirit cultivation will drop significantly, and severely, their realm may also fall!
Moreover, this woman carries countless evil deeds in her heart — don’t be fooled by her screams of "you don’t understand," she herself knows well how filthy she is.
Harboring so many evil deeds and obsessions, after half a year in the Heart Demon Cave, when she came out, she was emaciated, her Primordial Spirit nearly shattered.
Her cultivation had fallen from barely entering the Third Realm Ascension Realm straight down to the Early Stage of Guiyuan Realm.
If it couldn’t be promptly repaired and nurtured, it might continue to fall, down to First Realm Inner Room Realm.
The spell she obtained through stealing the immortal fruit was also personally abolished by the law enforcement elder.
When she emerged, she was as if back to her former state.
Just a breath away from death.
After coming out, her only option was the Outer Sect’s [Sin-Removing Hall].
In other sects, having stolen sect property, such actions would likely see her cultivation abolished and expelled from the sect.
