Legend of the Great Sage

about the joys of pushing down this woman who had once ordered him about, now completely at his whim.
He took a step forward and clasped his hands.
“Sect master Qiu, I’ve already undergone the heavenly tribulation successfully and reached Foundation Establishment.
According to the rules of the Sect of Clouds and Rain, I hope we can complete our marriage soon so that we can become cultivation partners and comprehend the wonders of yin and yang together!”

Qiu Haitang waved her hand in a rather tired manner.
“You can all go.”

With her lingering influence, the disciples of the Sect of Clouds and Rain would never disobey her.
They just looked at Wei Zhongyuan.

“You can all go wait outside.” Wei Zhongyuan waved his hand.
He was not afraid of Qiu Haitang suddenly turning hostile against him.
She might have reached Foundation Establishment many years ago, but she was still an early Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The cultivation methods of the Sect of Clouds and Rain focused on harmony between yin and yang, or mutual promotion and regulation.
If she were bold enough to turn him down, then she would immediately fall out with the sect.
By then, he would be able to succeed her as sect master, and he could then capture her as a traitor who broke the rules of the sect, allowing him to do whatever he wanted with her.

Everyone dispersed, only leaving the two of them on the rooftop.
Wei Zhongyuan frowned.
“Who else is there?”

“Disciple Qian Rongzhi greets vice sect master Wei!” Qian Rongzhi emerged from behind a flowering shrub on the side.

Wei Zhongyuan said, “Weren’t you expelled from the Sect of Clouds and Rain already?”

“I accepted her as a disciple of mine again.” Qiu Haitang’s expression was cold and haughty.

Wei Zhongyuan’s expression changed, and his eyes narrowed.
He stared at Qian Rongzhi to a point where she shivered, but now was not the time to fuss over something like this after all.
He took another step forward and asked Qiu Haitang, “So what do you think, sect master?”

Qiu Haitang hesitated and looked back at the night sky, gazing in the direction of the Academy of the Hundred Schools.
The person she was waiting for was currently cultivating arduously in seclusion.

Wei Zhongyuan strode forward and reached towards Qiu Haitang’s hand.
“Today, you’ll have to agree to it whether you want to or not.”

Qiu Haitang’s expression changed, while Wei Zhongyuan sneered.
Black and white spiritual qi collided viciously, but it caused no disturbance at all.
Instead, they nullified each other.

With how yang could overcome yin, Wei Zhongyuan gained a slight upper hand.
Just as he was about to grab Qiu Haitang’s wrist, Qian Rongzhi blocked him as a gesture of loyalty to protect her master.
She called out, “Vice sect master Wei, please don’t be like this.”

Wei Zhongyuan immediately sent a slap towards Qian Rongzhi’s face, but suddenly, all of his strength vanished.
It did not produce any sound at all.

The hell snake slithered onto Qian Rongzhi’s face and bit Wei Zhongyuan’s hand.
Wei Zhongyuan’s mouth widened as his eyes bulged.
This was agony from the depths of his soul.

At that instant, Li Qingshan’s figure appeared behind Wei Zhongyuan.
He pressed his hand on his back, and over a hundred strands of sword qi surged out.
Wielding the vajra sword, Xiao An swung down with it from above, while a pair of fingers extended from Qiu Haitang’s hand, stabbing towards Wei Zhongyuan’s eyes.

Under the pressing killing intent, Wei Zhongyuan forcefully suppressed the pain and mobilised his true qi.
He wanted to put up a desperate counterattack, but it was already too late.

Sword qi rampaged through his body, tearing apart his organs that had lost the protection of spiritual qi.
The vajra sword landed on the top of his head, and the sword qi and sword intent surged all the way to his feet.
Not only had the two slender fingers pierced his eyes, but they had even penetrated his brain, stirring it up viciously.

In the end, all he heard was Qian Rongzhi say, “Vice master Wei, what’re you touching my face for?” Afterwards, he lost all consciousness within the pain and a refusal to accept this.

Wei Zhongyuan’s body collapsed loudly.
A mighty Foundation Establishment cultivator had been reduced to a corpse in a single instant.

Li Qingshan immediately stowed the corpse away.
The corpse of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was equivalent to an extra large pill to Xiao An.
The benefits it could provide could not be compared to the corpses of regular people.
Wei Zhongyuan’s hundred treasures pouch obviously ended up in his hands too.

Qiu Haitang was still in a slight daze.
She struggled to believe that Wei Zhongyuan had just died like this, dying so easily.
That day, Qian Rongzhi had visited her and told her she could help her kill the Foundation Establishment Wei Zhongyuan silently.
She was still rather unconvinced.
Even if three Foundation Establishment cultivators worked together in an attempt to kill a single Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would not be that easy, let alone with a mere Qi Practitioner.

However, the reality was presented right before her.
Even if she had done nothing, the three of them probably still would have managed to kill Wei Zhongyuan.
Three Qi Practitioners had killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“Master, I’ve done it.” Qian Rongzhi bowed towards Qiu Haitang, but there was not the slightest loyalty in her eyes.
The matter of the White Lotus cult sure had ruined a lot of her plans.

Qian Rongzhi had been a double-crossing spy.
It was not like Qiu Haitang was an idiot.
She had discovered that Qian Rongzhi was not under her control at all.
All the loyalty she showed in the past was an act, so much for her for teaching her the various cultivation methods of the Sect of Clouds and Rain without the slightest suspicion, treating her like an obedient puppet.

But by then, Qian Rongzhi had already established a connection with Gu Yanying.
She had assisted Gu Yanying in completing the plan.
Even if Qiu Haitang was utterly furious, she could not lay a single finger on Qian Rongzhi, or she would be treated as a member of the White Lotus cult, which was enough to destroy her entire sect.
Trying to use mesmerisation to control a Hawkwolf Guard went even more without saying.

Afterwards, the two of them never met again until a few days ago.
Qian Rongzhi suddenly visited her and told her that she could eliminate a disaster for her…
