Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 106 Travels (2)

Xie Jing and his men stood atop the walls of the Eastern Ying city; this was the tenth day of their battle with the demons.

"The Wen family still hasn't sent anyone."

The sect leader of Xianyun Peak stood beside him: "It's been a long time since I've been to Japan. I never expected this..."

Xie Jing wasn't so sentimental: "She already knows from the water that no matter what Japan was like before, Japan now is a heartbreaking place."

"It's better to know than to live in ignorance."

Xie Jing looked at Luo Zai Shui, who was helping Nie Xu Shuang settle the wounded not far away, and wondered what he was thinking.

"Senior brother, we need to find a way to bring Shi Ming and the others back."

The sect leader of Xianyun Peak naturally knew that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible: "What do you think?"

Xie Jing scoffed, "The Wen family won't release people easily. Since this plan was initiated by Luo Zaishui, they naturally have their own intentions. We just need to provide assistance from the sidelines."

"That won't do."

The sect leader of Xianyun Peak was naturally worried about them.

Xie Jing casually shook the folding fan in his hand: "That's why I said we need to get them out as soon as possible so that their plan can proceed smoothly in Shui."

The sect leader of Linghai Sect suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "That's right, we must rescue the children as soon as possible. They must have suffered a lot there. My poor, precious disciple, I don't know how much suffering she must have endured in the Wen family."

The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, holding his sword, also looked rather grim: "It's one thing for the Wen family not to send anyone, but they've been holding people captive all this time. And what about them? How dare they listen to such a hasty plan?"

Xie Jing naturally knew that the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect harbored resentment. Ye Xiao was his most prized disciple and the future sect leader designated by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. If something were to happen to him in the Wen family, it would be a huge blow to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the same would be true for other sects.

"You can't say that. It's good that the children have their own ideas while we're not around. We can't let them waste their lives here forever," the Sect Master of Xianyun Peak comforted them. "Besides, they are among the best of their generation, so nothing will happen to them."

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect sneered, "Easy for you to say. Why doesn't the person who came up with the idea go?"

Xie Jing explained, "Someone has to take charge of the overall situation."

The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect almost spat at Luo Zai Shui: "Is it that Ye Xiao is incapable of taking charge?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, the sect leader of Linghai Sect quickly tried to mediate: "Don't get excited, don't get excited. You should know that Xianyun Peak sent the most people this time. It wasn't just their eldest disciple who went to the Wen family. Everyone is anxious right now, but there's nothing we can do. Why don't we all think of a way to get them out first?"

Xie Jing, however, fanned the flames from the side: "Isn't it because we in charge are useless that the children are in danger? If you ask me, if you, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, dared to take the initiative to resist the Wen family, there would be no need for Ye Xiao to go to the Wen family!"

The implication is that the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is incompetent, which is why his beloved disciple was put in danger.

"you--"

Xie Jing felt he hadn't said enough, so he added fuel to the fire: "If it weren't for Ye Xiao's filial piety, your Wanjian Sect Master would still be suffering in the Wen family."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, Immortal Master Xie, could you please say less? Aren't we all the same?"

The Linghai Sect Master was caught in the middle and forced to put out the fire.

Xie Jing smiled and said, "Yes, we're all the same. If the elders are incompetent, they shouldn't try to pass the responsibility to the younger generation. They made their own decisions, so let them do what they want without worry. I will take care of them. So stop pointing fingers here. Instead of wasting your time, you should finish dealing with the demons here as soon as possible so you can go back and negotiate with the Wen family."

The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was furious and stormed off. Seeing that things were not going well, the sect leader of the Linghai Sect had no choice but to try to appease the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

“Master, you shouldn’t have argued with the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect just now.”

Luo Zai Shui suddenly appeared.

Xianyunfeng didn't say anything, but just sighed, leaving the master and disciple alone to talk.

Xie Jing didn't think he had said anything wrong: "He's almost a hundred years old, and he's so incompetent that he dragged his own apprentice down with him, yet he still blames you, a junior. He's really shameless."

He grew angrier as he spoke: "What, you made the decision all by yourself? Does Ye Xiao have no opinions of his own? Or do you, Luo Zai Shui, have extraordinary abilities that allow you to command everyone?"

"Alright, Master, don't be angry anymore," Luo Zaishui comforted. "This matter was due to our lack of consideration and we didn't discuss it with the other elders. It's normal for the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to be angry."

"Normal my foot! He's just being stubborn!" Xie Jing cursed out loud. "Doesn't he realize how long the few men you brought can hold out? By the time he escapes from the Wen family, his apprentice's grave will be overgrown with weeds!"

"Alright, Master, I have something to discuss with you."

Xie Jing fanned himself rapidly with his folding fan: "What is it?"

"I want to go to the Demon Realm."

Luo Zai Shui made a startling remark, and before she could finish speaking, Xie Jing's fan struck her on the head.

"You are not allowed to go."

Luo Zai Shui covered her forehead, which had been hit red: "Why?"

Xie Jing laughed in exasperation: "Why is there any 'why'? Don't you know what the Demon Realm is? You've been traveling for a few years and you've become too arrogant, thinking you can go anywhere? You're really courting death. What will happen to your senior brothers if you go to the Demon Realm?"

Luo Zai Shui was somewhat unwilling: "I'll go and take a look, to investigate the situation of the Demon Clan."

With three more taps of his folding fan, Xie Jing showed no mercy this time, directly slapping Luo Zai Shui's hand until it turned red: "So young, yet so arrogant. The Demon Realm isn't a place you can just go to as you please. Even demon cultivators don't dare to set foot there easily. Going there is just suicide."

"But if I'm not mistaken, the demons have already started to unrest. If we were to stir up trouble now..."

"Who told you all this?" Xie Jing guessed without hesitation. "That old geezer, Grandmaster, right? He didn't want you to go, did he? Who were you with back then, Ting Han? Just because Ting Han is a half-demon? No wonder he revealed his identity a few days ago; he was planning to go to the Demon Realm. What are you trying to do by telling me all this? Trying to go in his place?"

Luo Zai Shui was speechless; Xie Jing's guess was absolutely correct.

"I think this is an opportunity..."

Another fan struck her on the head.

"Neither you nor Tinghan are allowed to go. If my disciple is to be sacrificed, what use is my master? In short, neither of you are allowed to go. We have our own plans. You two stay put."

After saying that, Xie Jing left without looking back.

Luo Zai Shui sighed deeply, regretting that she couldn't be in two places at once. She looked at the gray sky, wondering how her senior brother was doing.
