Chapter 2284: Die with Unclosed Eyes

“Second Young Master…”

Zhu Mingying never dreamed that his cousin would attack him. He was instantly scared out of his wits and it was too late to dodge.

He was only at the Soul Transformation Stage, while Wang Ben was a Core Disciple of Wuliang Temple, his cultivation had already reached the Body Integration Stage. There was a huge gap between the two.

Blood splattered as Zhu Mingying’s head flew high into the air. Even in death, his eyes were wide open, unable to comprehend how he had died so confusedly.

Although he had killed his pig-headed cousin, the killing intent in Wang Ben’s heart had not yet dissipated.

“Ye Bufan, I swear I won’t be a man if I don’t kill you!”

Wang Meng’s heart tightened, fearing that this Second Young Master would lead them to seek revenge.

He had just witnessed Ye Bufan’s power; only a few people from his side had acted, yet they had completely annihilated the Wang family. If they went, it would be no different from seeking death.

“Second Young Master, just now, the Family Head said before his death that there were Void Tempering Realm experts among those people. You must act cautiously.”

“I know!”

Although Wang Ben was angry, he was not a fool.

His father was at the Combined Body Realm Peak, and the opponent was able to kill him with a single move, so they must be a Void Tempering Realm expert. With his current cultivation, he was not their match.

“Even if they have a Void Tempering Realm expert, so what? I’ll return to my Sect now to ask for help. I refuse to believe that in this Tianqiong State, anyone can contend with my Wuliang Temple.”

Wang Ben’s greatest confidence came from the Sect behind him. As one of the two Nine Star Sects in Tianqiong State, Wuliang Temple had Great Ascension Stage experts and would not put a Void Tempering Realm expert in their eyes.

Moreover, in his opinion, even if the opponent had reached the Void Tempering Stage, it was only the Early Stage, and they couldn’t be too strong.

After speaking, he left the aftermath here for Wang Meng to handle, then soared into the air and flew back in the direction he came from.

Tens of thousands of miles outside Jinma City, there was a towering mountain, surrounded by peaks and filled with Spiritual Qi.

This was Wuji Mountain, renowned throughout the Southern Yue Empire. Its fame stemmed from being the stronghold of Wuji Sect.

The entire Tianqiong State had two Nine Star Sects, but they were too far away.

In the Southern Yue Empire, as the only Eight Star Sect, Wuji Sect was an absolutely supreme existence.

At the foot of the mountain, a magnificent Sect stood, and currently, hundreds of people gathered in front of its gate.

The reason for such a lively scene was that today was the day for recruiting Disciples.

Originally, Wuji Sect recruited new Disciples every five years, and by calculation, there were still two years left.

However, this time the Seal opened, and the losses incurred in the Secular World were heavy. Not only did Ninth Elder Xie Lingyun perish, but also dozens of Core Disciples died.

It was precisely because of this that the Sect advanced the time for recruiting Disciples.

Due to the temporary change in schedule, the recruitment situation this time was not ideal. The number of young people who came to apply was more than half less than in previous years.

Moreover, most of these people were just there to make up the numbers, and their Aptitude was relatively low. Yesterday, after a full day of recruitment, not a single qualified person was found.

To quickly alleviate this awkward situation and recruit suitable candidates, Gao Sheng, the Hall Master of the Custodian Hall, personally came to preside over today’s recruitment.

He stood in the air, hands behind his back, looking down proudly at the young people before him.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Gao Sheng, the Hall Master of Wuji Sect’s Custodian Hall. Today, I will be responsible for selecting some of you to enter my Wuji Sect.

In our Kunlun Continent, the strong are always respected, and entering my Wuji Sect will be the beginning of you becoming strong…”

Gao Sheng was eloquent, speaking fluently. The young people present were all stirred by his words, wishing they could immediately join Wuji Sect.

Seeing that the time was right, he waved his hand towards the back, and immediately, some people carried over several boxes, followed by more than a dozen beautiful female servants.

“Open the lids!”

Gao Sheng gave the command, and immediately, people opened the lids of the boxes one by one, followed by gasps of surprise from the crowd.

It turned out that these boxes contained good things: one box was full of High-Grade Spirit Stones, another was full of gold and jewels, and the other box contained Fifth Grade Medicinal Pills.

Seeing these, the eyes of the young people present turned green, filled with envy.

Money, beautiful women, Cultivation resources—these things could satisfy anyone’s desires.

A smug smile appeared on Gao Sheng’s lips. The reason he displayed these things was precisely to achieve this effect.

Although the number of people present today was not too large, it might not be possible to select outstanding Disciples.

However, with his display, the advertising effect would immediately be created. He believed that within a few days, large numbers of young people would come to Wuji Sect, and then he would naturally be able to select the talents he desired.

“Did you see that? As long as you can become a Disciple of Wuji Sect, these things are within reach and can fulfill your lifelong pursuits.”

“Oh my god, so many High-Grade Spirit Stones, I’ve never seen so many in my life…”

“And that woman, she’s really too beautiful, ten times prettier than Er Ya from our village…”

“Gold and jewels, if I had so much money, I wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of my life…”

“You don’t understand anything, the most important are those Medicinal Pills, those are Fifth Grade, you can’t even buy them with money outside…”

Everyone was whispering, and just then, an abrupt voice sounded.

“Wuji Sect is really too rich, being so high-profile, aren’t they afraid of being robbed?!”

The voice was not very loud, but everyone around heard it clearly. They all turned their heads to look.

The speaker was a chubby boy of fourteen or fifteen. He had merely spoken what he felt, but he didn’t expect to attract so much attention, which made him nervously flustered.

Gao Sheng, being a Body Integration Stage expert, naturally heard the words clearly, and then his gaze sharpened as he looked over.

“You, step out and repeat what you just said.”

Seeing that things were going awry, the people around, fearing implication, immediately retreated to the side, directly exposing him.

The chubby boy nervously said, “Hall… Hall… Hall Master Gao, I was just joking.”

Gao Sheng said, “Say what you just said loudly to everyone, otherwise I will kill you now.”

“This…”

The chubby boy was truly frightened. Lost and helpless, he could only follow the other party’s command and said again, “Wuji Sect is really too rich, being so high-profile, aren’t they afraid of being robbed?!”

His voice was a bit louder this time, and the scene was utterly silent. Everyone heard him clearly.

After speaking, he looked nervous, fearing he would be slapped to death.

Gao Sheng, however, burst into laughter: “Did everyone hear that? Someone actually said they want to rob Wuji Sect’s things!

I tell you, the Cultivation World is all about the strong preying on the weak, there is no Dao to speak of.

As long as you have the strength, if you see good things, you can snatch them and make them your own!

To be honest with you, these treasures and resources were all taken by us, but so what?

For so many years, only Wuji Sect has robbed others, no one has dared to covet our things!

Today, I’ll put it out there: whoever dares to rob Wuji Sect’s things, I will immediately kneel down and call him Grandson!”

He originally intended to amplify his influence, so he seized the opportunity to elevate the Sect’s prestige to the heavens.

According to his thoughts, this was Wuji Sect’s main base, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to come here and cause trouble.

But just then, a mocking voice came from mid-air: “The treasures are mine, but I don’t want you, Grandson!”

Immediately after, a huge pressure permeated the entire area, and a large hand of True Qi grabbed down from mid-air, sweeping away all the treasures Gao Sheng had prepared, leaving nothing behind.
