Chapter 923: Chapter 237: Beast Cave, Spring God’s Fury
“Yes, we won’t agree. Even if he’s Peng Venerable’s man, we can’t let our brothers die, absolutely not.”
“Killers must pay with their lives, debts must be repaid, it’s a fundamental principle. Even if Peng Venerable came himself, we would say the same thing: today, he must die!”
“Yes, he must die, he must die!”
A group of people shouted again, and hearing the cries of these disciples, Han Ling’er pulled Han Lian aside.
Han Lian said: “Ling’er sister, what are you doing?”
Han Ling’er said: “When I came out, my master told me, in times of crisis, I just need to hide to the side. Whatever happens, let Elder Quan decide alone.”
“Hmm? Why would the Master say that!”
Han Lian looked puzzled, and Han Ling’er said with a giggle: “My master said I’m not my brother, he is the future heir of the Holy Sect and needs to learn many things. But I don’t, as long as I don’t cause trouble, I’m helping the Holy Sect, hehe…”
Having heard this, Han Lian said: “You’re really lucky, oh oh~”
“Eh, Sister Lian’er, what are you eating?”
Han Ling’er watched as Han Lian stuffed a piece of something into her mouth, her small mouth slowly chewing like a hamster.
“Oh, do you want some?”
Han Lian magically pulled out a packet of pastries, looking very appetizing.
Han Ling’er took a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up immediately: “Mmm~ give me one more piece.”
“No, that’s the last piece…”
“Half for each, half for each…”
Chen Jie was in a life-and-death situation, Elder Quan was caught in a dilemma, Chu Tian and other cult members were gritting their teeth, and Han He was struggling hard.
Yet these two were hiding in a corner, madly snatching food and enjoying the spectacle, carefree to the extreme.
Elder Quan finally made up his mind and looked up at everyone for a moment.
Chu Tian and Zhong Guang looked at Elder Quan with anticipation, hoping he would stand by them, help them take revenge, and eliminate Chen Jiusi.
Han He also looked up at Elder Quan, hoping he would consider Peng Yingyu’s face and not make an impulsive choice that would bring endless regret.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze focused on Elder Quan, except for the two food lovers in the corner.
These two were too well protected, with a child’s mentality, especially Han Ling’er, often acting with childish innocence.
Just like with Chen Jiusi, she didn’t insist much.
Thus, all attention was now on Elder Quan.
Elder Quan then made his final judgment: he had to give due respect to Peng Yingyu, so he could not be the one to kill Chen Jiusi directly. Especially not like Chu Tian suggested, cut off his head and hang it outside; if he did that, how would Peng Yingyu think?
Moreover, Chen Jiusi still wore Peng Yingyu’s bracelet, so out of respect for the connections, taking direct action was unadvisable.
However, he also needed to consider his disciples’ feelings since Chen Jie indeed caused them great losses, especially by exposing Chu Tian’s undercover plan.
This would likely delay their uprising plan.
No choice, Chen Jiusi must also be punished; it was a dilemma, but Elder Quan came up with a good solution.
Elder Quan spoke: “Hmm, Chen Jiusi, your bracelet is authentic. Normally, you are a friend of Peng Venerable, and we should not act against you.”
“But so many of our Zoroastrian Sect disciples have died because of you. If we just let you go, my disciples would never agree.”
“So, I’ve thought of a compromise.”
A compromise?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Elder Quan, who then raised his head and said: “Yes, a compromise.”
“What kind of compromise?”
Chu Tian asked at this moment.
Elder Quan said: “Open the Beast Cave and throw him in. Whether he lives or dies depends on his fate.”
“In this way, I am not failing Peng Venerable, nor am I ignoring vengeance for the disciples. It satisfies both. As for your life or death, it’s up to you.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie frowned: “The Beast Cave, why does it not sound like a good place?”
While pondering this, Chu Tian and Zhong Guang also frowned; throwing him into the Beast Cave was feasible, but with the ferocious beasts inside, the mortality rate for someone in the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm was quite high.
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said: “Master, we agree to put him in the Beast Cave, but I request his acupoints are sealed, and his hands bound before throwing him in.”
“What!”
Han He jumped up and angrily said: “There are countless beasts in the Beast Cave. Even someone in the Wolf Smoke Realm might not survive, let alone a Qi Blood Holding Core martial artist, and you want to seal his acupoints and bind his hands. That’s tantamount to a death sentence!”
Chu Tian said: “Hehe, Han He, whose side are you on? This person harmed so many of our comrades; just throwing him into the Beast Cave, how can that be acceptable? His acupoints must be sealed, and his hands bound.”
“Whether he can survive depends on his fate!”
Hearing this, Han He wanted to say more, but Elder Quan interjected: “Agreed, seal his acupoints, bind his hands, and throw him into the Beast Cave. From now on, his life or death has nothing to do with our Zoroastrian Sect.”
Hearing this, Han He looked at Elder Quan in disbelief: “Elder Quan, if you do this, how will you explain it to Peng Venerable!”
