Chapter 151

Chapter 151 - That Was also Your Masterpiece

Yin Xu initially intended to assist Martial Union to earn their gratitude, but the current situation revealed that the ones at a disadvantage were the two dispirited individuals from the Evil Sect.

“What should we do?” he asked Teng Yu.

“Have you considered saving the ones on the left and right and letting them take us to the Evil Sect's main altar? Wouldn't that be more convenient?”

Yin Xu blinked. “People from the Evil Sect... can they even understand the concept of ‘gratitude'?” He never expected to become friends by saving their lives.

“Even if they don't have such thoughts, you can create them. People's minds can change.”

Yin Xu scratched his chin in thought. He felt there was still a chance to trick Zuo Shaotang. Although the other one was cold and ruthless, capable of betrayal at any time, such a person was also the least likely to be threatened.

In any case, it was better than aligning with Martial Union.

“Sigh, seeing that they are from the same sect, I will reluctantly save them.” Yin Xu took out the crossbow he had picked up in the courtyard and smeared another poison on the arrow. He aimed at the weakest disciple and shot.

The battle was intense, and no one noticed the secret attack. By the time the disciple heard the whistling sound and turned around, it was too late. The arrow pierced his neck, not even giving him time for a final scream.

“Who...?” This unexpected turn startled everyone present, including Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng.

They didn't have many people lying in ambush in the passage. Most of them were stationed on top of the passageway, so the situation was dire.

When a helper suddenly appeared, they mistakenly thought he was an ally using the crossbows from their Sky Piercing Sect.

“Ah... look... he's...” A cry of surprise drew everyone's attention. They looked towards the source of the sound and immediately gasped.

The unfortunate fellow hit by the arrow began to emit a faint green smoke. This scene was truly horrifying when it happened to those dead bodies.

Someone approached to investigate, but before his fingers could touch the body, he collapsed, not even twitching.

“What's going on? Is this smoke poisonous?” The crowd hastily retreated, with some even running towards the exit.

Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng exchanged glances, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes. When did such a potent poison appear in their teachings without their knowledge?

Both of them retreated simultaneously. Each movement caused their wounds to ache. They thought they were doomed this time, but it seemed there might be a chance.

The green smoke spread slowly. Anyone who inhaled it fell over instantly. It was far more effective than knockout drugs.

“Hold your breath! Quick, hold your breath!” Qing Xiaoyan bellowed, trying to disperse the smoke with his palm.

“Humph! Aren't you afraid the entire orthodox martial arts world will take revenge on you?”

“Hehe, you all... I think it would be better for you to behave!” Yin Xu wasn't intimidated by such a minor threat. With his identity as the Young Master of the Huo Family, who would dare to touch him?

The Huo Family Army was not to be trifled with.

Both sides paused their fighting. As Yin Xu spoke, he retrieved the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and the wailing ghosts within finally quieted down.

The four of them stood at the exit, staring at each other. Eventually, Zuo Shaotang conceded, “I never thought it would be you two who saved us. We owe you a great favor!”

“Hey, who said we did it out of kindness?” Yin Xu interrupted him with a snort. “Do you think we have nothing better to do?”

Zuo Shaotang was taken aback by his straightforwardness. He hadn't expected them to save him for no reason, but did they have to be so blunt?

“Then how do you want us to repay this debt of saving us?”

“Humph!” Xiao Feng laughed coldly from the side. “You probably want to take my life, right?”

“If I wanted your life, why would I save you? How does your brain work?” Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him, his gaze filled with disdain.

Teng Yu intervened, stopping the three from talking further. “Let's leave this place first. Do we really need to wait for people to catch up?”

Yin Xu shrugged, indicating he didn't mind.

They were currently standing in a room that was undoubtedly part of the Evil Sect.

The place wasn't far from the courtyard they had been in before. From here, they could see flames soaring into the sky. The surrounding people started informing others about the fire, but few actually attempted to extinguish it.

The yard wasn't connected to other houses, and the neighborhood was ordinary. Probably no one was willing to risk their lives to put out the fire.

On the way back, Yin Xu gloated, “Looks like there's a grudge between your Evil Sect and fire. You've burned your Sky Piercing Pavilion, and now another manor.”

Xiao Feng retorted lightly, “That was also your handiwork.”

“With grudges settled, this young master was still kind enough to save your life despite them. Burning a Sky Piercing Pavilion is nothing. One day, I'll even burn the one in the capital.”

Zuo Shaotang pulled back Xiao Feng, who wanted to retort further, and said gratefully, “Indeed, with our relationship, Seventh Young Master Huo is magnanimous and won't argue with me!”

Depicting himself as a villain made Yin Xu's expression soften. He despised people who pretended to be gentlemen while being villains.

“I won't argue, but you still owe me for saving your life.” Yin Xu looked at them with malicious intent. He noticed they were severely injured yet standing tall, showing they had endured much hardship since childhood.

Their unwavering determination made Yin Xu respect the Evil Sect a bit more.
