"I lack a servant," Su Ming said faintly while standing in midair. He cast a glance at Bei Qiong, who he had seized with his right hand. At that moment, Bei Qiong's face was stark pale. When Su Ming looked at him, despair and pleading appeared on his face.
"Sect Elder Wang, it is his serendipity that you value this person. There was a misunderstanding just now, and I hope that you will not mind it." The white-robed scholar stood up and spoke respectfully to Su Ming. He did not doubt Su Ming's identity. This was Seven Moons Sect, and no one would be bold enough to pretend to be a sect elder.
Besides, in the white-robed scholar's eyes, Su Ming was a member of Seven Moons Sect. If he pretended to be a sect elder in this place, he would be exposed in an instant. Besides, the plate had already spread out ripples, but no sect elder had come to him. This was a telling sign.
"Sect Elder Wang, please forgive me. I was reckless in this matter. My disciple was fortunate enough to become your servant, and it is his serendipity," Old Chen quickly said. Old Chen quickly said. He forced a smile on his face, but there was terror in his eyes. He was completely terrified by Su Ming, but it was not because of his level of cultivation. Instead, it was because of Su Ming's status in the sect. He no longer had any intention of provoking him. In fact, the regret he felt at that moment made his heart tremble.
Su Ming shook his head. When the hearts of the people in the area let out a thump against their chests, his gaze landed on Old Chen. The ghost of a smile remained on his face.
"Becoming my servant is a serendipity?"
"Yes … This is naturally a great serendipity, and it is something that everyone desires. Bei Qiong, follow me well from now on. You must become a role model for your senior and junior brothers!" Old Chen quickly said.
"Then … come with me. I will not choose Bei Qiong as my servant, but you." Su Ming's words were calm, but when they landed in Old Chen's ears, they were like a bolt from the blue. He was momentarily stunned, and his expression changed drastically again. He instinctively moved back.
"This … This … This is …" He was practically unable to speak coherently.
"Sect Elder Wang, I am the head attendant of the outer sect. This … This is …" A large amount of cold sweat instantly broke out on Old Chen's forehead.
"Sect Master Xu, I don't know much about the sect rules. You can handle this." Su Ming's smile remained on his face. Since Old Chen had used the sect's rules to speak, then Su Ming would also choose to use the sect's rules.
In truth, it was not Su Ming's personality to target the old man. Based on his personality, he would have just killed him, but when he Possessed him, he sensed Wang Tao's hatred towards the old man. It was a hatred that could not be resolved even if he killed him. He needed to continuously torture him.
Since he had already Possessed Wang Tao, Su Ming did not mind fulfilling some of the dead man's wishes.
"This matter … Reporting to Elder Wang, according to the sect's rules, the Elder can decide the fate of the outer and inner sect disciples at will, including the deacons. If there is any rebellion, they can be killed immediately!
However, if there are other elders who want to stop this, then the Council of Elders will have to make a decision, "the white-robed scholar quickly said. As he spoke, he cast a cold glance at the old man named Chen.
Su Ming nodded and closed his eyes. After about a dozen something breaths passed, he opened his eyes and smiled faintly at Old Chen.
"Looks like there aren't any other sect elders who want to stop this. As for you … do you want to become my servant, or … do you want to be wiped off?" Su Ming's voice was flat, but to Old Chen, it sounded like a funeral bell had tolled. As he trembled, he looked around him, then gritted his teeth.
"I am willing to become the Elder's servant!" When he said those words, the bitterness in his heart could not be described with words, but what else could he do? He could see Su Ming's killing intent. If he refused, he would immediately be killed.
If he fought back, he would die even more wretched deaths!
This was the will of a Seven Moons Sect's sect elder, the supreme existence that stood above all others!
"Then come with me." Su Ming nodded at the white-robed scholar. His expression remained the same. He cast a glance at Old Chen, then turned around and grabbed the pale Bei Qiong before turning into a long arc and leaving into the distance.
There was a conflicted look on Old Chen's face. In his anxiety and fear, he had to fly up and follow behind Su Ming. He comforted himself continuously. His level of cultivation was clearly higher than Su Ming's, and there were many people in the area. If they were in a place with fewer people and Su Ming did anything, he would at least have the ability to protect himself.
This thought allowed him to find a hint of confidence in his nervousness.
When Su Ming left, the crowd was still shocked by what had happened. After a long while, the crowd slowly dispersed, but Wang Tao's name immediately spread through the outer sect like a violent gust of wind.
The other sect elders of Seven Moons Sect clearly knew about Su Ming's identity a long time ago, but none of them wanted to spread it, which was why it became a secret.
When Su Ming revealed his identity and exercised his rights as a sect elder, the other sect elders did not want to interfere and stop him because of such a small matter. After all … since ancient times, the number of great sect elders would be the same as the number of sect elders. This had never changed since ancient times.
All those who became sect elders were the chief direct disciples of the thirteen great sect elders. They were also the sect leaders who were in charge of the cultivators in their respective lines. For example, Lan Lan was the sect leader of the line led by the man in the sky-blue Daoist robe.
But eight years ago, Su Ming had appeared, causing the number of sect elders in Seven Moons Sect to increase to fourteen when there were still thirteen great sect elders.
This matter should have caused an intense dispute in Seven Moons Sect, but strangely … each sect elder received a message from their sleeping Master, and it was something that all the great sect elders agreed to!
Even the red-robed Dao Han, who had been in charge of Seven Moons Sect for the past few aeons, did not raise any objections, which made it seem as if they had tacitly agreed to it.
Because of it, the first time Su Ming revealed his status as a sect elder was a small matter that was not worth mentioning. Besides, the people also understood what had happened between Su Ming and the branch of the attendant who guided him in the past. Naturally, no one tried to interfere. They did not want to offend … both Su Ming and Lan Lan, two sect elders at the same time!
…..
With Bei Qiong in hand, Su Ming turned into a long arc that charged to the mountain. Old Chen followed behind him. Before long, the three of them arrived at the first layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. It was right in front of the cliff where Su Ming stayed in the wooden house in the fifth layer.
In that place, Su Ming lifted his foot and stepped on the ground. His body instantly spread out and turned into a shadow that covered Bei Qiong and Old Chen. Then, he charged into the air and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. He was still in front of the cliff. When Bei Qiong and Old Chen appeared, they immediately saw another Su Ming meditating with his eyes closed.
At the same time, they saw Su Ming, who had brought them here. He had turned into a shadow and walked behind Su Ming. When his figure overlapped with Su Ming's, the meditating Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.
At the instant he opened his eyes, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pointed at Old Chen. The old man immediately let out a shrill scream of pain, and his entire body was instantly enveloped by flames. As they swept through the area, they turned into a gigantic red furnace that enveloped Old Chen within it.
His screams of pain continued, but the shock in his heart caused Old Chen to feel a terror that surpassed the pain he felt in his physical body. During the instant Su Ming attacked, he had not been able to fight back. It was as if compared to Su Ming, the difference between him and Old Chen was like that between a child and an adult. This caused his shock and the pain at that moment to form a double suppression on his mind and body.
Old Chen was not the only one who was terrified. The pale-faced Bei Qiong was also terrified. This scene caused his pupils to shrink, and he instinctively wanted to take a few steps back, but there was a canyon behind him. There was no place for him to retreat. As his body trembled, he quickly put on an obsequious expression.
"Sect Elder Wang, your level of cultivation is exceedingly high. I …"
"Before you came, I already heard enough of these words," Su Ming said faintly, and his gaze landed on Bei Qiong.
"Urk …" Bei Qiong became even more nervous.
"Speak," Su Ming said calmly.
"I … I really don't know what to say. Sect Elder Wang, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to sell you those fake medicinal cores. I was wrong, I was truly wrong …" Bei Qiong wailed and knelt down to worship Su Ming again. Extreme regret appeared on his face.
"Tell me, who am I?" Su Ming's expression remained the same. He lifted his right hand and pointed at Bei Qiong. Immediately, a gust of black wind appeared and swept around Bei Qiong. As it spun rapidly, the wind was like a sharp blade, causing Bei Qiong to let out a shrill scream of pain. Countless fine wounds appeared on his body, and when the black wind blew past them, they immediately rotted away. The shadow of death instantly enveloped Bei Qiong's heart.
"I'll give you ten breaths to think. There is no grudge between us, and I don't want to Soulseek you and harm your life, but if you insist on not speaking …" Not a hint of joy or anger could be seen on Su Ming's face. He did not finish speaking, but the ghastly chill in his words was clearly felt by Bei Qiong.
"One," Su Ming stated flatly.
"Two …." Within the black wind, a conflicted expression appeared on Bei Qiong's face. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as more and more wounds appeared on his body. Blood sprayed out in all directions, causing the black wind to turn violet.
"Three …"
"I really don't know anything. Elder Wang, please spare my life. Y-y-you … you're Elder Wang. I only know that you're Elder Wang …"
"Six …" Su Ming's expression did not change. He looked at Black Wind quietly, and his voice was like a funeral bell that rang in Bei Qiong's heart.
"Seven …"
"I didn't lie to you. Elder Wang, listen to me, I … I …" Bei Qiong's screams grew louder and louder. Most of the black wind had turned purple, and as it spun, Bei Qiong's legs started to show some of his bones!
"Nine …" Su Ming's expression remained the same. When he spoke, he lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the black wind. Immediately, Bei Qiong, who was screaming in pain in the wind, tilted his body so that the top of his skull was facing Su Ming.
"Ten!" When he spoke, the black wind let out a bang, and Bei Qiong charged towards Su Ming. Just as Su Ming was about to grab the top of his skull and perform a Soulsearch on him …
"Su Ming! Su Ming! You're Su Ming!" Bei Qiong seemed to have used all his strength to scream shrilly.
