"What? You're not lying to me, are you?
If you don't want to send a message, I'll call him myself, "said Elder Zhu angrily.
"Fourth Brother, I heard your conversation just now. Although I haven't had any contact with that young man, I feel that he wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble with you given his style of doing things, right?" Soon, a slightly aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Eh." Elder Zhu was stunned at first, then his face was filled with embarrassment. It really was the Sect Leader!
"Sect Leader, this is actually what happened. Our people from the Five Venoms Alliance were bullied at the Jiangwu Exchange Meet. Coincidentally, I was in the capital city, so I helped them find this kid. In the beginning, I tried to persuade him with kind words and had a forgiving heart, trying to recruit him into our Five Venoms Sect. Not only did this kid reject me, but he was also very arrogant. That's why we had some conflicts …" Elder Zhu braced himself and said. From the tone of the Sect Leader, it seemed like he was siding with an outsider.
"Sigh. Maybe he's used to the secular life and is afraid that he won't be able to adapt after entering a martial arts sect. Why are you forcing him? Are you saying that we, the Five Venoms Sect, must destroy a talent that we can't get with our own hands?
I've never taught you that. "The Sect Leader of the Five Venoms Sect seemed to be blaming him.
Elder Zhu suddenly felt a headache. "Oh right, Sect Leader, I almost forgot to tell you that the Five Venoms Sect's treasure, the Golden Snake Sword, is in his hands. Moreover, it has regained the power of the divine weapon of the past. I just want to bring the divine weapon back to the Five Venoms Sect. That's why I'm being a little rash."
"Regarding this, I've discussed it with Elder Tang for a long time. A few years ago, when the Golden Snake Sword was lost, it was only a damaged middle-grade refined weapon. Even if we gather the most experienced refiners today, it would take at least ten years to polish it into a high-grade refined weapon, let alone a divine weapon. That's even more impossible. You should know this problem as well. That's why the Golden Snake Sword of our Five Venoms Sect is only a fake. The one in the young man's hands should be the only one in existence. We can't twist the truth and make it look like we're too petty," said the Sect Leader unhurriedly.
"Caw."
Everyone could not help but be taken aback. They looked at each other. As members of the Five Poisons Alliance, they rarely came into contact with the Sect Leader. After all, their level was a little low. However, they also knew what kind of person the Sect Leader was. Normally, he was full of vigor and energy, and he was a big shot with ambition. How could he become so cowardly?
To put it bluntly, even if they inverted the truth and said that the Golden Snake Sword belonged to the Five Venoms Sect, no one in the martial arts world would refute them. They did not know how to grasp such a good opportunity, but instead, they blindly sided with outsiders.
Could it be that he was afraid of this kid's strength?
However, when they thought about it carefully, the leader of the Five Venoms Sect was an otherworldly expert who was at the level of an Earth True Deity. His methods were extraordinary and unfathomable.
Even if this brat possessed the Divine Weapon, the Golden Snake Sword, the lethality he displayed was only comparable to that of a half-step True Immortal. The difference between him and the leader of the Five Poisons Sect was not small.
However, if the smart people thought about it carefully, they would have an idea. Although the Divine Weapon, the Golden Snake Sword, was a unique item, if they got close to this kid, he would directly give the Golden Snake Sword to other martial arts sects. Then, the Five Venoms Sect would be in an awkward position.
After all, if they had this Divine Weapon, the strength of the Sect Leader would definitely increase to another level. Including the influence of the Five Venoms Sect, there was a hope that it would become like the sun in the sky.
In fact, Elder Tang and the others had been discussing this matter with the leader of the Five Venoms Sect. It seemed that the Five Venoms Sect had the ability to deal with it now, but there might be other forces behind this kid. If they did not kill him with a stick, they might have a chance to wait for revenge. When this kid had completely grown up, the Five Venoms Sect would not have a good ending.
Although some people suggested that while the leader was still weak, the experts of the Five Venoms Sect should come out and get the Golden Snake Sword. It would definitely usher in an unprecedented era of the Five Venoms Sect.
However, after careful consideration, the Hierarch still made this prudent decision. Rather than having one more enemy, it was better to have one more friend. This was because, looking back at his past deeds, this brat would never take the initiative to provoke anyone. On the contrary, those who opposed him would not have a good ending in the end.
From a certain perspective, this kid was an unparalleled genius that came out of the Nan Yun Sect. Nan Yun was the foundation of the Five Venoms Sect. Right now, this kid was deeply loved and respected by the people of the Nan Yun Sect. If he did something like this, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would have to bear endless curses.
If he succeeded, it would be fine. However, if he failed, the Five Venoms Sect might even be removed from the martial arts sects. After all, those people with ulterior motives were always looking for a chance to grab the Five Venoms Sect's weak points. It was precisely because of this that the leader had been very strict in the past two years.
He could not bear such a big risk, so he chose to rope me in. Although he could not directly recruit me like Elder Zhu, he could indirectly build a good relationship with me.
"Leader, when did your temperament change? Didn't you always remind us in the past that we have to do whatever it takes for our own benefits at the crucial moment?"
Elder Zhu looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears. This excessive helplessness had caused him to speak incoherently. He had even lost his original calmness and wisdom.
Hearing this, the leader immediately got angry. He had talked for a long time just to create a good image for himself. Regardless of whether Elder Zhu had turned on the loudspeaker or not, they were all martial artists here. As long as they wanted to eavesdrop, they would definitely be able to hear every single word.
However, Elder Zhu's words made him sound like a despicable and shameless person.
"Alright, you don't have to come back. From today onwards, you are no longer the Fourth Elder of the Five Venoms Sect. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with the Five Venoms Sect!" The leader said while suppressing his anger.
"Ah …" Elder Zhu was so scared that he shivered. A layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Although the others were gloating, they did not dare to make a sound. Most of them were restless. If the leader of the Five Venoms Sect were to punish them, it was not something they could bear.
"Leader, listen to me …" Elder Zhu said impatiently.
"Beep beep."
This awkward hanging up sound interrupted his explanation. Elder Zhu called a few times but no one picked up. In the end, he was blacklisted.
He knelt down in front of me with a plop and begged me non-stop.
"Zhuang Feng, can you put in a good word for me?
The leader respects you so much. As long as you put in a good word for me, I will still have a chance to return to the Five Venoms Sect. "
"Sigh, Elder Zhu, why do you have to do this?
You wanted to kill me just now and now you want my help. Sorry, I am not that generous, "I waved my hand and said.
