Why did the School of Blue Jade disciples not hesitate to curry favor with Yang Qing? Wasn't it just for the Orbs of Will? Song Fu's matter was instantly tossed to the back of his mind. He had to first ascertain whether this Cave Master's words were true.
Wang Zifa hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fists and asked, "Cave Master, are you trying to make fun of us? Do you know that with this, you will only be left with three Orbs of Will, if we …"
Before he could finish, he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, and even gulped deeply. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Miao Yi, or more accurately, at the item in Miao Yi's hand.
An Orb of Will the size of a normal pearl, sparkling and translucent, emitting a hazy white glow, was very eye-catching in the night sky. Pinched between Miao Yi's fingers, it was very captivating, causing everyone's eyes to shine.
None of them were blind, and their eyesight far surpassed that of mortals. This was actually an Orb of Will that had gathered the power of will from ten thousand people for a year!
"Orb of Will? Three, two, it's nothing. " With a flip of his finger, Miao Yi stored the Orb of Will into his storage ring. He looked down at the crowd below and said, "If all of you are willing to sincerely listen to my commands, I have my ways of obtaining even more. When the time comes, I'm afraid that what all of you will receive every year will not only be what I promised. Those who work for me, those who perform meritorious deeds, this Cave Master will not be stingy with rewards! "
Excited, every one of them was excited, their eyes were shining!
If one were to say that they were suspicious at first, then seeing the Cave Master casually pull out an Orb of Will the size of a pearl, their hearts immediately raced. This level of Orb of Will was not something a small city could produce. No matter how generous Yang Qing was, he would probably not reward this Cave Master all at once. The Cave Master might really have other sources of Orbs of Will.
Logically, for a small abode of Immortals like East Arrival Cave, no matter what grade of cultivation you had, if you didn't have a good relationship with the Cave Master, even if you were given one every year, you wouldn't be angry. Yan Xiu in Transient Light Cave was an example.
Now, according to what Miao Yi said, the supply of Orbs of Will was doubled or tripled. Then a White Lotus Third Grade cultivator cultivating for a hundred years would be equivalent to three hundred years of cultivation, and a White Lotus Second Grade cultivator cultivating for a hundred years would be equivalent to two hundred years of cultivation. What did this mean? It would greatly shorten the cultivation time, and could quickly increase one's cultivation and strength.
Some of them even harbored malicious thoughts. Why not risk their lives and snatch the Orb of Will from Miao Yi's hands?
But when he thought about it again, he realized that it was inappropriate. He might not be a match for Miao Yi if he fought alone, but if they fought together, who would the loot belong to?
Even if one person could obtain it, this Orb of Will would only be equivalent to ten grain-sized pearls. According to Miao Yi's promise, he would only need three years to obtain it.
One had to know that for cultivators, a mere three years wasn't a long time in the life of cultivation. After this robbery, what would happen three years later? Wouldn't that be cutting off his source of income?
After suppressing the thought that the gains did not make up for the losses, Wang Zifa braced himself, cupped his fists and respectfully asked, "Cave Master, do you mean what you say?"
Miao Yi lowered his eyes and asked, "You School of Blue Jade disciples are in cahoots with each other. If I go back on my word, do you think it will do me any good?"
Wang Zifa and Zhu Tianbiao looked at each other, then the two of them turned around and nodded at the disciples of the same sect who were looking at them expectantly.
Swoosh! Everyone sheathed the swords in their hands, and stood in two neat rows, shouting in unison, "Your subordinates are willing to obey the Cave Master's orders!"
Miao Yi straightened his body, the situation before him was like he was the master of the house. Only this kind of East Arrival Cave could be considered his territory!
But anyone could shout an empty promise, Miao Yi wasn't so easily dismissed, he said, "Words won't do, you have to take action."
After everyone looked at each other, Wang Zifa once again took the lead, cupped his fists and asked for instructions, "Cave Master, please instruct us!"
Miao Yi said indifferently, "Song Fu offended his superior, and ignored the orders of East Arrival Cave!"
Everyone understood his meaning, he wanted everyone to express their stance on this matter. As expected, benefits weren't so easy to obtain.
Wang Zifa sighed, "Actually, we also feel that Senior Brother Song's actions are inappropriate. We have privately advised him many times, but Senior Brother Song doesn't listen. We can't do anything about it, he is our Senior Brother after all. A country has its laws, a mountain has its rules. Cave Master will punish him according to the law, we have no objections! "
The others followed suit and cupped their fists, responding, "Cave Master will punish him according to the law, we have no objections!"
Yan Xiu and the other two's expressions twitched, they looked at each other in dismay, gnashing their teeth in hatred. When this group of bastards bullied the three of them before, they hadn't been this easy to talk to. Now they were all extremely obedient, pushing all the blame onto Song Fu.
The gazes the three of them used to look at Miao Yi faintly became a little respectful. From this Cave Master, they could see that he had the ability to control the winds and rain with a flip of his hand. With a flip of his hand, he could change the skies of the entire East Arrival Cave. No wonder Manor Head Yang Qing stood his ground against the majority's opinion and allowed him to oversee East Arrival Cave!
"Even though Song Fu is despicable and deserves to be killed, he is still a disciple of your School of Blue Jade. Currently, South Edict Manor and the School of Blue Jade are working together as one. It is not worth it to ruin the relationship between the two families for a single Song Fu. This matter will inevitably be reported, and an explanation must be given to the higher-ups."
At this point, Miao Yi paused, his gaze swept across the crowd, and slowly said, "I'm afraid my words alone will cause your School of Blue Jade to be suspicious. If you, as fellow disciples, are willing to testify, it will naturally dispel the School of Blue Jade's suspicions. I wonder if all of you are willing to write down your testimonies and report them to the Mountain Chieftain together with me? "
When Yan Xiu and the others heard this, they couldn't help but curl the corners of their mouths to stifle their laughter, thinking that the Cave Master was really ruthless.
The expressions of Wang Zifa and the others twitched, they finally understood what it meant to be a whore and yet still maintain a chastity. He killed the School of Blue Jade's men, yet he didn't want to take responsibility, and even wanted the School of Blue Jade's men to say that their disciples deserved to die. Weren't you not afraid of the School of Blue Jade, and looked down on the School of Blue Jade?
Seeing that these people didn't utter a word, Miao Yi sighed, "If you are not willing to write, I will not force you. However, there is one thing that you must think carefully about. Once the School of Blue Jade's men come down to investigate this matter, and find out that you are able to obtain two or three Orbs of Will every year, I'm afraid that no one will pursue my responsibility. After all, the reputation of the Orbs of Will is even greater than this Cave Master's reputation. If someone else were to become the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, they wouldn't be as generous as me. Who knows, there might even be some of your fellow disciples who will think of a way to transfer you away, and then swap them to serve me. When that time comes, I won't be able to stop them. What do you say?"
These words could be said to have poked at everyone's weak spot. What Miao Yi said wasn't a possibility, but a certainty. When that time comes, there would definitely be someone who would think of a way to swap them away. The School of Blue Jade disciples who were assigned to the lowest level to work originally didn't have much of a background, how could they stand against a fellow disciple with a background pulling some tricks?
Nan Sisi, who still had a bit of beauty, couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Song didn't listen to the Cave Master's orders, causing the mountain gate to be destroyed. It is indeed difficult for him to absolve himself from the blame."
"That's right …"
Immediately, a few people responded in a low voice. They didn't dare to make it too obvious, but in short, that was what they meant, and they believed that Senior Brother Wang would understand.
