My Master Knows It All

349: Chapter 155 The Spirit a Cultivator Should Have_2 349: Chapter 155 The Spirit a Cultivator Should Have_2 Jue Ying looked down with disdain at the fallen Zhao Capture Head as if he were looking at a weak ant and sneered, “You talk too much.

“I am an Immortal Cultivator, and you are but an insignificant mortal.

In my eyes, you are no different from an insect.

What right do you have to reproach this Elder?

And why should I sacrifice myself for a bunch of insects?”

Everything happened too quickly.

Jue Ying, who had to face the Wind Fire Tribulation, acted so suddenly that Cao Zhen didn’t have the slightest chance to intervene.

Gazing upon the motionless body of Zhao Capture Head, who had ceased to breathe, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face as he coldly said to Jue Ying, “You’ve gone too far.”

Indeed, he had begun his cultivation now, but in his past life, he had been a mere mortal, and moreover, it hadn’t been long in this life compared to the much longer span of his previous one—he identified more with being a mortal.

Now, Jue Ying deemed mortals no different from ants.

In Jue Ying’s heart, he saw himself as an Immortal, a being superior to others.

Lan Pili was suddenly alarmed upon hearing Cao Zhen’s shout and quickly pulled him aside, giving a salute to Jue Ying, “Dao Companion speaks rightly.

We are all disciples of the top ten Immortal Sects.

Before we descended the mountain, our Sect Leader told us that the ten Immortal Sects should always assist each other in times of trouble.

Though we are not from the same sect, we have always been united.

“We both, as well as you, Dao Companion, are disciples of the top ten Immortal Sects, so we should stand united as one.”

He first agreed with what Jue Ying had said, then continued with a change of tone, “Moreover, since you are also from one of the top ten Immortal Sects, you should be well aware of our methods.

Do you truly believe that after you trap us and let others make their move, our deaths would go unnoticed by the Hundred Peaks Sect?

“Furthermore, I am the Peak Master of Lightning Peak, and he is the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak.

If the two of us, Peak Masters from the Hundred Peaks Sect, die here, wouldn’t the Sect send people to investigate after the fact?

When the time comes, you, Dao Companion, will be the prime suspect.

Do you think your explanation will suffice?”

Jue Ying eyed Lan Pili thoroughly, clearly, this Peak Master had agreed with his point of view.

The key lied with the other younger Peak Master.

“I trust you, but can you guarantee that he won’t speak of this?” he asked, pointing at Cao Zhen.

Without any hesitation, Lan Pili spoke up loudly and confidently, “Naturally, I can guarantee it.

I am the chief ambassador of the envoy this time, and I have the final say in everything.”

Cao Zhen watched as Lan Pili vigorously assured him, and he too began to calm down from his initial fury.

He had acted impulsively.

First and foremost, he was no match for Jue Ying.

Jue Ying was someone about to face the Wind Fire Tribulation.

Even with his Heretical Golden Core, stronger Divine Skills, and the Unparalleled Formation Plate, he could not withstand Jue Ying.

Of course, even though he couldn’t withstand Jue Ying, he had a chance to escape.

But if he ran, with Lan Pili’s cultivation base, there was no way he could get away, and Lan Pili would surely die.

Zhao Capture Head was already dead.

If he now caused another person to die for someone who was already dead and whose life couldn’t be restored—that would be too senseless.

The only option now was to feign compliance and find a way to help Lan Pili escape first.

Cao Zhen thought it through and finally, he slowly nodded, “Fine, since Peak Master Lan has spoken, I too can act as if I’ve seen nothing.”

Right now, he had to think of a way to ensure Lan Pili’s safety first, and then figure out how to deal with Jue Ying later.

Upon hearing this, Lan Pili felt a sense of relief.

Jue Ying’s expression softened slightly.

Suddenly, from the distant mountains, within a coffin, a voice rang out.

“Do you truly believe what he says?

You saw his attitude just now.

Do you believe that after you let him go, he won’t report everything that happened here to the imperial court?

You’ll end up dead either way.”

“If you trap them, as long as you keep them trapped, I can guarantee that after my cultivation retreat, I will kill both of them and no one will be able to trace it back to you.

All suspicions will point at us, whether it’s the Hundred Peaks Sect or the Grand Preceptor, none will associate it with you.”

“Moreover, as you’ve said, the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is approaching.

When that chaos unfolds, they will all be too preoccupied to investigate.”

Jue Ying became annoyed with the other’s pressing words.

He turned abruptly and shouted toward the mountains, “Shut up, this is a matter between the top ten Immortal Sects, it has nothing to do with you.

“All you have to do is fulfill what you previously promised me.”

“The promise I made to you?

Yes, I did indeed promise you.

But now, I have added one more condition—that is to trap these two for three days.

“If you can’t manage to keep them trapped for three days, then all conditions I previously agreed to are null and void!

I don’t intend to break my commitments, but it’s because you’re too quick to trust others.

If you let that man leave, he will certainly report all your past deeds to the imperial court, and you will unquestionably die.

I am doing this for your own good.”

Jue Ying fell silent for a moment, his gaze towards Cao Zhen filled with hostility once more.

He truly had his doubts about this young Peak Master.
