Chapter 73: East Arrival Cave Master (11)
Alas, the temptation of the Orb of Will was still stronger, otherwise for what purpose would
everyone come running over to yield and be controlled by others? All for the sake of the Orb of
Will!
Under the murmurs of the fellow disciples of the same sect, Wang Zifa gnashed his teeth, and
took this as a way to step down. He let out a sigh and exclaimed, “I answer to every Senior
Brother and Sister’s opinion. It’s not my plan to call the shots alone. ”
“Naturally!”
“Of course!”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, one after another. They also understood Senior
Brother’s difficulties as these weren’t the best circumstances for a person to take sole
responsibility. It required everyone to be involved in the decision, otherwise in the future, there
would always be that uncertainty of whether someone might get upset and spill the beans
about the entire incident. If everyone took responsibility, only then would they all feel at ease.
After the group agreed in unison, they cupped their hands together and exclaimed, “We’re
willing to obey Cave Master’s command!”
Having witnessed the drastic change with their own eyes, Yan Xiu and the rest cast Miao Yi
expressions filled with admiration. In a short while, he was able to drag along the School of
Blue Jade’s disciples to collude with him in his deceit. They didn’t have any other choice but to
respect him for it.
But thinking back on it, he discovered that their own situation wasn’t entirely fortunate either.
Song Fu had been personally killed by the three of them. If the incident were to be leaked, they
could toss away any hope of living a peaceful life. Of course, everyone had now boarded Cave
Master’s ship of deceit, and no one would dare dream of disembarking from it.
“Good!” Miao Yi flashed the silver spear in his hand, and put it away into his storage ring. He
dismounted from his steed, with hands clasped behind his back as he stood on the flight of
stairs. He put on a smiling face and said, “It’s still early so everyone might as well write it now.
Yan Xiu answered in receiving the order. He quickly ran into the grand hall, grabbed a stack of
jade archives out and one by one, delivered them into everyone’s hands.
Thus, a crowd of people stood at the bottom of the grand hall stairs, each and every single one
of them invoking their arts to write.
There were some people who, after moving their hands, felt uncomfortable about it and felt
unsure as to whether this was fitting towards their fellow dead Senior Brother...
After someone finished writing, he went up the flight of stairs and presented the item to Miao
Yi for inspection.
After Miao Yi looked it over, he gave a slight nod and exclaimed, “Very good!”
After looking over the jade archive who was handed in by another person, Miao Yi furrowed his
brows and said, “You write it in this manner, making it seem like Song Fu’s sin was not worthy
of death. Isn’t it a bit too sketchy?”
The person smiled apologetically and uttered, “I’ll rewrite it, I’ll rewrite it.”
After he looked at another that was presented to him, Miao Yi shook his head. “You wrote too
excessively. It’s good enough to be practical and realistic. After looking at this, even I was left
wishing for a chance to kill him once again for being guilty of such terrible crimes… Primarily,
it will cause your School of Blue Jade to be put on the spot, so make it slightly frivolous.”
Yan Xiu and the others were also not forgotten, each of them wrote one too.
Everyone was content with this matter, hence the crowd immediately cupped their hands and
said, “Cave Master is wise!”
“Don’t be happy too early.” Miao Yi swept a glance across everyone from the School of Blue Jade.
“Don’t think I don’t know what kind of crafty thoughts you all had in mind with Song Fu before.
Song Fu was detrimental in guarding the mountain gates, thus causing those mountain gates to
would be inconvenient to have a lug like him entering it. Thus, he could only lie on the ground
at the doorway, being completely lazy.
But the courtyard here was quiet, with old aged trees and potted plants, pavilions, flowerbeds
and ponds. The environment was filled with elegance, and it was much better than lying
outside.
Miao Yi entered his own private area with hands clasped behind his back, and couldn’t resist
clicking his tongue as he realized that the treatment of a Cave Master was indeed out of the
ordinary. Under his feet was a thick velvet rug and the surroundings were decorated with all
kinds of exquisite furnishings, the styles of luxury and elegance in harmony as one. He had
never seen such things before, so today had really opened up his eyes.
However, Yan Xiu’s mind was not present here, and instead was concerned with plotting a way
forward as mentioned by the Cave Master. He also wanted to know where the Cave Master’s Orb
of Will, that contained the power of will of ten thousand people in a year, had come from. He
tested the waters, “Cave Master’s plan of seeking another way to improve the gains, how would
this be done, exactly? ”
Miao Yi laughed, “The best solution is obviously to be like the Manor Head, taking possession of
the entire South Edict.”
Yan Xiu was incredibly shocked, and he quickly waved his hands around. “You mustn’t! Our
strength is not enough to annex the surrounding domains.”
