Chapter 442
The Weak Immortal Sword Sect
“Are you satisfied now?”
Suicide Witch asked indifferently.
Long Xian Li did not speak, only sighing after a long while. She felt extremely helpless for the entire thing.
As for Hu Qian Mei who had escaped Suicide Valley, she rushed towards Emperor Palace.
Although she knew that Lin Xi Shan and the rest would not reach out to save Long Xian Li and Bai Yan Shan… She had no other choice and could only carry the mindset of trying.
Although the Emperor Palace was not a peak sect in the Ultimate Martial World, it was still considered a large sect, huge enough to scare people. The Emperor Palace’s Palace Master Wang Tian Yang, was a name even more awe inspiring, he was someone who all the sects and schools have to give face to, even all the superior sects had to be polite to him.
Dressed in her pink clothes, Hu Qian Mei soared through the clouds by activating her profound Spirit Qi, she looked at the gates of the Emperor Palace which was at the end of the clouds, then looked at her own waist and sighed.
“I followed the Immortal Sword Sect to enter the Ultimate Martial World, but they all have proof of qualifications while I have none… So I will be considered a person without any backing and place to return to. Considering my low cultivation, I am afraid I won’t be able to even meet Wang Tian Yang.”
Her eyes gleamed as though she had thought of something. She travelled the remaining distance and when she reached about a kilometre away from the large gold and majestic gates, she sat her butt down and supporter her chin with her hands as she waited.
Her big and black eyes coupled with her white woolen fox tail made her look extremely adorable.
The sun came up, set and came up again.
Two disciples of the Emperor Palace that stood guard by the door looked at Hu Qian Mei with suspicion, the both of them had high cultivations, far more than what Hu Qian Mei could compete with. Seeing that Hu Qian Mei was weaker than them, and because they could not leave their posts, they did not go forward to question.
After a period of time, more disciples walked in and out of the Emperor Palace and it became slightly crowded.
After yet another long period of time, finally, two disciples that dressed differently from the Emperor Palace disciples walked out.
They were Immortal Sword Sect Disciples!
The two of them were dressed in white swordsman robes with swords in hand, they had earnest expressions and would greet whoever they met, maintaining their reservedness.
“Although training in Emperor Palace is largely beneficial for Sky Martial Continent’s people, we must always maintain the appearance of being the lower men, it is truly restrictive. I would rather be free and be a free cultivator, it is much more enjoyable.”
Hu Qian Mei muttered, she stood up and headed over to the two Immortal Sword Sect Disciples.
The two disciples greeted the two Emperor Palace disciples and then headed out, seeing their two tensed expressions, it looked as though they were afraid of offending people.
However, it was normal for them to behave like that, even if their Sect Leader held a name in the Emperor Palace, as disciples, if they were rude and accidentally provoked anybody, the unlucky ones would still be them.
“Hey, you two, stop!”
Just as the two disciples had headed out, a voice shouted out from beside them.
The two of them were startled, they turned to look, only to see a young lady with fox ears and a large white tail waving behind her as she walked over.
“That’s…” The two of them looked at her.
“I remember her, I remember her, isn’t she Third Clan Elder’s senior sister? Yes, that’s our Third Clan Elder’s senior sister!”
“Then doesn’t’ that make her our clan elder?”
“Stupid, who said that the clan elder’s senior sister has to be our clan elder as well?”
“Then she…”
“Let’s go over and see what she wants first.”
The two of them whispered to each other and headed over to Hu Qian Mei.
The two disciples maintained their respectful actions and cupped their fists: “Greetings, Master.”
“Seems like you guys know who I am.” Hu Qian Mei nodded her head, she then extended her hand and reached for the order badge on her waist and handed it over to the two disciples. She asked: “Do you recognize this?”
The disciple looked at the Order Badge and was shocked, he asked in startle: “This? Isn’t this our Sect’s Order Badge? It’s a Clan Elder Order Badge!!”
“That’s right.” Hu Qian Mei nodded her head: “It is your Clan Elder Long Xian Li’s order badge!”
“What?”
Hearing that, the two disciples instantly became serious, they asked in unison: “Master, where is Clan Elder Long now? We were just sent out by the Sect Leader to look for Clan Elder Long! The Third Clan Elder has been missing for the past few days, she left without notifying the Sect Leader, so the Sect Leader is worried that something might have happened to her, he specially told us to look for her, Master, have you seen Clan Elder Long? Is she well? Where is she now?”
Hearing that, Hu Qian Mei shook her head: “No, she is not anywhere well now! Your Third Clan Elder is in the hands of the Suicide Valley’s Suicide Witch!”
“What?”
The faces of the two disciples changed.
Suicide Witch? After what happened outside Emperor Palace, they were naturally not unfamiliar with the name, and understood what kind of powerful existence she was.
“We have no time to bullshit, quickly bring me to see your Sect Leader!”
Hu Qian Mei urged.
The two of them looked at each other, they nodded their heads, and one of them cupped their fists: “Master, You are not someone from the Emperor Palace, it is unlikely that we can bring you in, please wait here for a moment, I will immediately return and inform the Sect Leader and get the Sect Leader to summon you.”
“Yes, if the Sect Leader summons you, the Emperor Palace’s people will not dare to stop you.”
Hu Qian Mei nodded her head: “Fine, go! Quickly!”
“Please wait for us!”
With that said, one of them turned and ran quickly.
Long Xian Li held an important position in the Immortal Sword Sect, so after hearing that Long Xian Li had landed in Suicide Witch’s hands, Lin Xi Shan did not dare delay, he immediately gave the disciple his Order Badge, and requested for Hu Qian Mei to meet him.
Although Lin Xi Shan could not be considered strong, but with the relationship his father had with Wang Tian Yang, Lin Xi Shan held a considerable position in the Emperor Palace. With his order badge, the Emperor Palace’s disciples guarding the gates did not dare stop then and immediately allowed Hu Qian Mei entry.
After entering the gates, she passed through corridors that were decorated with gold clouds and the two Immortal Sword Sect disciples brought Hu Qian Mei to a hall.
At that moment, Lin Xi Shan and a few Clan Elders were seated inside the hall.
Tang Tian, Chen Nan, Xiao Zheng Ming, Mo Wen Shan etc were all present.
Xiao Zheng Ming had a haggard look, he had no strong aura present, and what remained was worry.
Although he was the Eleventh Clan Elder, which was the last Clan Elder, he was still the youngest Clan Elder of the Immortal Sword Sect. Many people knew that he was in love with Bai Yan Shan, and could only painstakingly keep quiet about it, so when he saw Bai Yan Shan being taken away by the Suicide Witch, how could he not be worried?
“Eh, all of you are here?”
Hu Qian Mei entered the side chamber and saw everyone, but did not bother bowing or greeting them, but instead folded her hands across her voluptuous breasts as she spoke out.
“How dare you, Hu Qian Mei, to not kneel and greet upon seeing our Sect Leader!” Tang Tian snorted.
Hu Qian Mei used to be a disciple of Immortal Sword Sect, thus everyone recognized her.
“Eh? Kneel? Why must I kneel? You are all my Master’s murderers, and still want me to kneel to all of you? Aren’t you wishing for too much?” Hu Qian Mei sneered in disdain, although there were many of them, she was not afraid.
When she spoke those words, everyone’s faces changed, as though they had recalled a bad past.
“Your master’s death is not related to us, everything is just your nonsensical guess!” Tang Tian coughed and said gloomily.
“Hehe.”
Hu Qian Mei did not reply, as though she did not wish to quarrel with them… But then, a stern voice came out, it was Lin Xi Shan: “Alright, we are not here to talk about that today, can everyone just speak less!”
He turned and looked at Hu Qian Mei in a serious manner: “Hu Qian Mei, let me ask you, was it true that you said that Clan Elder Long was taken by the Suicide Witch?”
“Although I do not like her, but Master ultimately saw her as his own daughter and adored her. For Master, I naturally will not go against it.” Hu Qian Mei spoke words that she did not mean, and then recounted everything that had happened at Suicide Valley.
Long Xian Li had headed to Suicide Valley to negotiate with the Suicide Witch alone and about how the old witch planned to make both Long Xian Li and Bai Yan Shan stay etc.
When he realized that Long Xian Li had headed to Suicide Valley for Bai Yan Shan, Xiao Zheng Ming’s fists were clenched extremely tightly.
While Hu Qian Mei spoke, she would quietly observe the expressions of the Clan Elders and Sect Leader, only to realize that aside from Xiao Zheng Ming, the majority of them were expressionless.
Hu Qian Mei frowned.
“I do not know the purpose of making Long Xian Li stay, but with Suicide Witch’s infamy, I am afraid that the longer Long Xian Li stays in Suicide Valley, the more harm it would bring her, if all of you still care for Long Xian Li and still treat her as your Immortal Sword Sect’s Third Clan Elder, then I hope that you will quickly cooperate with the Emperor Palace to head to Suicide Valley in order to save Long Xian Li and Bai Yan Shan. Time is of the essence, if all of you continue to hesitate, I am afraid that the two of them will die!”
When she finished her words, there was no reply.
Some of them had lowered their heads to think, some had their eyes closed, causing the entire hall to remain silent.
Seeing that, Xiao Zheng Ming could no longer hold back and was about to stand to speak, but was quickly held back by Chen Nan.
“Clan Elder Chen!” Xiao Zheng Ming spoke anxiously.
However, Chen Nan gently shook his head and held onto Xiao Zheng Ming tightly, not allowing him to act recklessly.
Seeing that, Xiao Zheng Ming hesitated for a long while, after that he punched his own thighs ferociously, then looked to the side with extreme pain in his eyes.
Hu Qian Mei saw everything, a sneer appearing on her face, her eyes revealing a smiling expression.
“So? Various Esteemed Elders of Immortal Sword Sect? Why are none of you speaking? For such a matter, what is there to hesitate for?”
“The matter is not as simple as you think.” Lin Xi Shan shook his head and said indifferently: “In truth, such a thing had happened before. Suicide Witch is no ordinary character and the Suicide Valley is also a place filled with traps, it’s like a gigantic and sturdy turtle shell! It is hard to breach and our Immortal Sword Sect is too weak, just by relying on ourselves, we cannot save Clan Elder Long or disciple Bai Yan Shan.”
“You can seek help from the Emperor Palace.”
Lin Xi Shan sighed: “Uncle Wang has already made his intentions clear, he will not do anything to Suicide Valley.”
“That means, you are all going to ignore Long Xian Li and Bai Yan Shan’s life?” Hu Qian Mei smiled.
“It is not that we are ignoring them, but we are incapable of doing anything.” Tang Tian said: “We are ultimately still Sky Martial Continent’s people and are not able to fight against Suicide Witch, or are you hoping for us to die for nothing?”
“What a joke, is it a must to fight when saving them? There’s so many of you, yet you’re unable to come up with a plan? If you can’t fight, can’t you use your brains? What’re your heads for? Hehe, clearly, all of you fear the Suicide Witch and dare not do anything! What a sanctimonious group of people!” Hu Qian Mei sneered with disdain.
“You!!!”
“Maybe finding all of you was a mistake of mine.” Hu Qian Mei snorted and turned, directly walking to the side of the hall without turning back.
“I’ve wasted my time. Since all of you have given up on Long Xian Li and Bai Yan Shan, then fine, I will think of something to save them myself! Although I have mediocre strength, but I, Hu Qian Mei, will not always be this weak! A group of helpless people, Immortal Sword Sect, just wait and see.”
With that, she left the hall.
As though she was not willing to waste even a minute of her time.
“Rude!”
Tang Tian roared in anger, he was about to reach out to capture Hu Qian Mei, but was stopped by Lin Xi Shan.
“Forget it Clan Elder Tang.”
Lin Xi Shan looked outside the gates and took a deep breath, then said: “Maybe she’s right.”
