Chapter 317: Plucking Feathers off the Goose that Passes By

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lou Hong’s heart sank with a foreboding feeling. “May I know what is the matter?”

“My disciple had always been straightforward in character, while he is a bit too lively, he had a pure kindness. May I ask sect master, what mistake did he make, that you are putting him into that dark and secluded chamber, and going to put him to death!” His voice deepened, and the suppression on his body began to sweep towards Lou Hong.

Lou Hong’s face whitened, and the suppression was almost reaching.

Lonemoon suddenly stepped forward and pulled the man behind him, while at the same time used his own suppression which was also of Soul Formation level but more chilling to press it back. Wu Xiang was stunned. He stepped back once more and almost fell on the chair behind him. Instantly, his face was full of shock.

He at first thought that he was only pressed back by this person because he was caught unawares, but now he realized that this person’s ability was not second to him. He cultivation looked only like that of a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator, but why was the suppression so strong? Can this be the sword cultivator’s ability?

“Supremacy is speaking rather amusingly!” Lonemoon gave him a commercial-style smile. “That child called Jing Qi was a surviving disciple of Green Robes Sect. He was punished for his wrongs of injuring his peers and disrespecting his superior, that’s why he was punished with confinement. Besides, the confinement was less than a day in total, where does the talk of putting him to death come from?”

“You are suggesting that my disciple lied?”

“I don’t know whether he lied or not,” Lonemoon continued, “But if the sect master really wanted him dead, why bother saving him out of Green Robes Sect? We are not that free!”

“This...” His expression changed, but he continued to argue, “Even if he made mistakes, you wouldn’t need to punish him so harshly? Besides, he is my disciple, and it’s not for you to punish him?”

“This talking is funny indeed.” Lonemoon gave him a mocking smile without hesitation. “May I ask Supremacy, what is a soft punishment then? Only one day of confinement, and it’s harsh for a cultivator? Then let me ask, how does the respected sect of yours... Divine Heaven Sect, is it? How do they punish their disciples? Allow us to learn from you.”

He was speechless, because confinement wasn’t any harsh punishment indeed.

“Besides, we couldn’t know the future, and we had no way to know that he would become your disciple, right?” Lonemoon continued. “If Supremacy indeed care for your disciple so much, I would advise you to write on his forehead the words “Wu Xiang’s Disciple”, so that it is easier for others to recognize!”

“You!” Recognizing the irony in his words, Wu Xiang was angry, but couldn’t find words to rebuke. He had to forcefully suppress the anger inside him. He bit his teeth and snorted, “Okay, we will let go of this matter then. This Supremacy will not ask further about it. From now on, Jing Qi has nothing more to do with your Honesty Sect!”

With that said, he stared at him shortly, and turned to leave.

“Wait!” Lonemoon said suddenly, “Supremacy’s matter had been settled, but we haven’t yet discussed our matter?”

Wu Xiang’s footsteps stopped. He turned. “What else do you want?”

Lonemoon’s smile was soft as spring snow. “I think Supremacy’s words are right too. One’s disciple should be disciplined by one himself. I believe that Supremacy is a just man, right?”

He frowned and looked at him in confusion.

“Quite unfortunately, our sect had recently taken in a little animal... Oh, a mountain-protecting beast. And this mountain-protecting beast had lost a Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid that it had spent thousands of years caring for. It was mistakenly taken away by your precious disciple. Since the master is here, I’m sure you can answer for him. May you please return this item to us now.” With that said, he stretched out his hand directly.

Wu Xiang’s eyes suddenly widened, as he blurted out, “The Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid was yours?”

“So Supremacy has seen it!” Lonemoon smiled even deeper.

The man stiffened, and a flash of anger came across his face, but he bit his teeth, and said anyway, “A couple days ago, I suffered a small injury. My disciple had already used that Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid to treat my injuries.

“Oh...” Lonemoon’s face was full of understanding, and he dragged the word ironically.

The man’s face darkened even further. “I do not have this item on me right now. After I return to Divine Heaven Sect and retrieve a new one, I will return it to you!” He added, “I’ve always honored my words. I will definitely return it.”

“Of course we believe the words of Supremacy.” Lonemoon nodded. “This way, we will not ask further about this matter. Lets... ask about other matters first, shall we?”

“What... other matters do you have?” Wu Xiang looked like he would like to kill him, but due to him being in the wrong, he couldn’t lose his temper.

“Though the Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid belonged to our mountain-protecting beast, he was a Demon Monarch before this. Due to the spiritual herb being stolen, he had attacked Green Robes Sect in his anger and killed off more than one hundred cultivators, with only around a dozen kids left. Does Supremacy think... that I should ask about this on behalf of this?”

“Demons are cruel by nature. What’s that to do with me?” His face was full of anger.

Lonemoon continued, “The dozen children left just now was originally practicing well in Green Robes Sect, and probably hopeful to achieve great Dao. Yet just because of a spirit herb they suffered great tragedies, and this spirit herb just happens to be taken by you. To put it not so nicely, the lives of the whole Green Robes Sect paid for the life of Supremacy.” With the whole Green Robes Sect disappearing just like this, saying that demons are cruel in nature would be far from enough.

His face whitened. “What do you want to do?”

“I’m not doing anything.” Lonemoon spread his hands. “Just that these children are at Honesty Sect right now, and for them to practice and seek Dao in the future, they inevitably need some spirit stones, Dharma artifacts, etc.”

Wu Xiang said, gnashing his teeth, “I will give!” With that said, he directly untied the storage bag around his waist, took out a bag of spirit stones and handed them over.

Lonemoon weighted the bag in his hand, “there are more than a dozen children!”

His mouth twitched and produced more than a dozen more bags.

“Hmm. We still lack some Dharma artifacts.”

“...” He continued digging.

“Some elixirs should also be prepared.”

“...” He continued digging.

“They would also need some protective Dharma clothings. Children grow fast, after all.”

“...” He dug rapidly.

“Oh yeah, and arrays and talismans too!”

“There you go!” Wu Xiang directly handed over the whole storage bag. “This would be enough, yes?”

“Of course, of course.” Lonemoon took it, smiling.

“Hmph!” Only now did Wu Xiang turn to leave. Just as he reached the doorsteps, Lonemoon added,

“Oh yeah, if the children are in need of anything in the future, I will send the bill to Divine Heaven Sect!”

Wu Xiang’s foot tilted, and he almost fell over. Immediately, he flew away on his sword in a flash.

Only now did Lonemoon look at the storage bag in his hand. Hmph, what was he doing trying to be proud in front of him? If he didn’t make him suffer great losses, his surname was not Niu!

“Take it!” He handed the storage bag to Lou Hong casually. “Remember to send him a bill every month.” With that said, he clapped his hands, turned and flew back to Invincible Peak.

Lou Hong, “...”

Everyone: “...”

They all stood speechless

They didn’t get a Soul Formation Supremacy, but a God of Wealth!
