Chapter 154 Forced Separation
Purple Cloud Peak.
The setting sun.
Under the setting sun, the strong spiritual energy was scattered, making the whole mountain area full of rosy clouds rise to the sky, which looked beautiful and like a fairyland.
This is why the Purple Cloud Peak got its name.
In the past, this scene was a rare spectacle in the eyes of Wang Qingfeng, the elder of the Purple Cloud Peak. He liked to boil a pot of tea under such rosy clouds and sit in the courtyard to taste it carefully, which always made him happy.
But at this moment, he had no interest in the past.
In front of him stood two core disciples. These two core disciples were a pair of beautiful sisters. They were the Wen sisters who had traveled with Lu Yu and others in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm.
At this time, the Wen sisters had just made a request to him, which was the source of his distress.
"Have you made up your mind? Do you really want to leave the Purple Cloud Peak?" Wang Qingfeng frowned and asked.
"Please help me, Elder Wang!" The Wen sisters responded in unison.
Wang Qingfeng sighed: "You two are leaving this time, but because of this Xiaolitian Secret Realm, I deliberately didn't let my disciples go with you to collect the Netherworld Stone?"
"Do you know that this is actually my painstaking effort? You two often refine some strange things, which not only delays your own practice, but also often creates dangers! Last time, because of refining pills indiscriminately, you almost blew up the Treasure Pavilion..."
"The reason why I didn't let you go to collect the Netherworld Stone is entirely for your own safety. In fact, all the teachers and leaders of our Zixia Peak are very optimistic about you two sisters, and have no intention of isolating you. I hope you two will never misunderstand this..."
The Wen sisters curled their lips in disdain. They knew Wang Qingfeng's nature very well. Although he was an elder, he was extremely mean and greedy. The reason why he didn't let other disciples go with the two to collect the Netherworld Stone was that he wanted to use this matter to hit the two of them, so that they could use him and refine pills for him for free with the materials he provided.
But unexpectedly, the two sisters were very tough. They went to Qingyou Lake alone without a team. Before they arrived, they met Lu Yu and others by chance and successfully collected the Nether Stone.
This is why the two core disciples acted alone in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm and did not travel with others.
Although they were dissatisfied, the two sisters still had a gentle and kind smile on their faces.
Wen Rulan said: "Elder Wang has always taken care of us two sisters. We all know these kindnesses. We have not misunderstood Elder Wang for this, and we will not blame you. In fact, we are very grateful to you. If it were not for your decision, I am afraid we would not have met Senior Brother Lu Yu in Xiaolitian!"
Wang Qingfeng's face became more and more ugly: "So, this time you are determined to change your sect and join Yudie Peak?"
On the side, Wen Ruman took over the conversation: "Elder Wang himself said that we sisters always like to think about some strange things, which not only affects our own cultivation, but also interferes with the cultivation of others..."
"We two sisters are like this by nature. If we want to change, we can't change it. In this case, why don't you just let us go to Yudie Peak, and from now on, we don't ask about cultivation, but only concentrate on studying the way of alchemy?"
Having said so, how could Wang Qingfeng be willing to let us go?
Although these two sisters often disobey orders and act recklessly, their alchemy skills are indeed outstanding and can bring a lot of value to Zixia Peak every year. That is why Wang Qingfeng has always turned a blind eye to their strange experiments.
In his eyes, these two sisters are a pair of hens that lay golden eggs.
Other peaks’ disciples who leave are ordinary disciples, but core disciples like these two sisters leave, and two core disciples leave at once, which is unique in other peaks.
What’s even more infuriating is that these two core disciples leave to go to the weak Yudie Peak. If this gets out, I’m afraid people will laugh at them immediately.
Wang Qingfeng's face was as gloomy as water: "You have to think clearly! Yudie Peak is poor and even the first master has left for decades. What development prospects can such a mountain have?"
"Although the newly emerged Lu Yu is in the limelight and everyone calls him a genius, there will be so-called geniuses like him in our Dali Sword Sect every year. Do you think he can bring you a bright future? Don't be fooled by the pie in the sky drawn by others!"
The two sisters looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"There are indeed many geniuses in Dali Sword Sect every year, but there is no one like Senior Brother Lu Yu!"
"We have already made up our minds. We believe that following Senior Brother Lu Yu will definitely gain something!"
Wang Qingfeng couldn't help but get angry and snorted heavily.
"But what if I just don't agree?"
The two sisters stood up straight and turned away without hesitation.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to say. At worst, we can go to Wulao Peak to deduct some merits and go through the compulsory separation procedures!"
"That's right. Anyway, we've been busy studying the art of alchemy these years, so we have plenty of merits!"
"Over the years, we have done a lot for Zixia Peak. We have come to tell you today that we have done our best. Do you really think we owe you anything?"
Seeing that the two of them actually left as soon as they said they would, Wang Qingfeng could not help but be stunned.
Da Li Jian Zong does have a rule that you can force a disciple to leave the original mountain by deducting merits. As long as you find the next receiving mountain within the specified time, it is not considered as betrayal.
But generally this is only for ordinary disciples. For core disciples like the Wen sisters, if they are forced to leave, they will have to deduct a huge amount of merits. Perhaps they may not be able to earn so many merits even after working hard for several years.
Wang Qingfeng did not expect that the two of them were so determined to leave. They were willing to pay the price of having a huge amount of merits deducted to leave Zixia Peak.
What exactly did Zixia Peak do to you?
Thinking of this, Wang Qingfeng could not help but become even more angry and shouted at the backs of the two.
"Forced to leave? Do you think that you can completely leave Zixia Peak by deducting your merits and forcing you to leave?"
"If I refuse to nod, how dare a small Yudie Peak accept the core disciples who left Zixia Peak? Aren't they afraid that I will completely crush Yudie Peak?"
Hearing Wang Qingfeng's words, the Wen sisters suddenly stopped.
Wang Qingfeng thought that his threat had worked, but he saw Wen Ruyu turned around and looked at him with a funny face.
"Elder Wang is so powerful! But Senior Brother Lu Yu of Yudie Peak is not afraid of the monster in the secret realm, so would he care about these threats from Elder Wang?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, never looking back.
In the yard, only Wang Qingfeng was left standing there, his face full of anger.
He was annoyed to find that the Wen sisters were really right.
The two signboards of Yudie Peak, whether it was Yang Chudie or Lu Yu, were all tough.
One dared to confront the supreme monster head-on, and the other wanted to rush into the secret realm to confront the power of the laws of heaven and earth. Neither of these two people would be afraid of his threat.
This undoubtedly made Wang Qingfeng even more angry...
"Lu Yu, what kind of magic did you cast! My core disciple only met you once in the secret realm, and you poached him!"
"I haven't had time to settle accounts with you for cheating elixirs from our disciples of Zixia Peak before. I didn't expect you to do this again now?"
"Well, let's settle the old and new accounts together!"
After saying that, Wang Qingfeng also strode out of the courtyard, lightly raised his foot, and his figure suddenly turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky.
The direction he left was exactly where the Five Elders Peak was.
