Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1376 - 514: Stealing Elixirs (Part 3)

The Eternal Life Sect Leader pretended to leave after speaking, but the Xian Nu called after him, saying, "I happen to have a fourth-grade elixir called the ’Land Walking Pill,’ you can take it."Hearing this, the Sect Leader felt almost weightless as he walked—a fourth-grade elixir, its value far surpassing that of three fifth-grade elixirs, exceeding his expectations before he came.

However, since it exceeded expectations, why not gamble bigger? Extort a bit more from the Xian Nu, try to get two or three fourth-grade elixirs, or maybe get a third-grade elixir to taste?

He believed the Xian Nu could come up with these elixirs.

The more he thought about it, the greedier he became, but in a flash, he recalled Zhou Xuan’s instructions before departure—do not pursue Qiong Kuo, extort only once, be moderate to prevent the Fire Sect from acting recklessly.

"Let’s leave it at that with the elixir."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader immediately turned around, cupped his hands towards the Xian Nu, and said, "Ah, it appears Madam Xian Nu is sensible, this attitude of admitting mistakes is commendable."

"Take your elixir and leave."

The Xian Nu didn’t waste words, with a wave of her hand, a black elixir resembling a "coiled snake shrinking into a ball" drifted to the Eternal Life Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader grasped the elixir, standing his ground, showing no intention of leaving.

The Xian Nu glared with wide almond-shaped eyes, saying, "You’ve got the elixir, Sect Leader, yet you won’t leave. Are you waiting for me to personally escort you out?"

The murderous intent was evident in her words.

Yet the Sect Leader responded with neither humility nor arrogance, "Your attitude of admitting mistakes is present, but Mr. Yin has not admitted his mistake. Otherwise, I still will reveal that matter, but I won’t mention your name, Xian Nu. We’ll use Mr. Yin as a scapegoat, how about it?"

"Eternal Life Sect Leader... you..." Yin Nv’er was not only angry but also somewhat afraid.

But the Xian Nu defended, saying, "Sect Leader, Yin Nv’er has served me for many years, with hardships if not achievements. I will acknowledge his mistake for him—I will give you another fifth-grade elixir to spare Yin Nv’er’s life."

In her eyes, Yin Nv’er was worth one or two fifth-grade elixirs, she was willing to spend elixirs to save a life.

At this moment, however, the Sect Leader did not want the elixir but waved his hand, saying, "I don’t want any extra elixirs..."

"Do you really have such character?" The Xian Nu was skeptical.

"I don’t want the elixir, but Yin Nv’er’s wrongdoing cannot go unpunished—Mr. Yin, you used the Devouring Pill Worm to destroy Master Zhou’s elixir, elixirs have spirit, do you know how much those elixirs suffered?"

The Sect Leader, not waiting for Yin Nv’er’s reply, continued, "You certainly don’t know, people like you can’t put yourself in others’ shoes... It so happens, I have a Bone-chewing Insect here, let you experience the taste of being gnawed by a worm."

After saying this, he took out a long worm from the Secret Realm, its mouthparts were no less than those of the Devouring Pill Worm.

He let the worm go, and it clung to Yin Nv’er’s abdomen, biting hard and pulling, tearing off a chunk of flesh.

Then, the worm frantically burrowed into Yin Nv’er’s body, gnawing wildly, the sound of chewing bones incessant.

Yin Nv’er writhed in pain, rolling on the ground, while blood and flesh scattered on the ground as he convulsed.

The Sect Leader coldly watched the Xian Nu, smiling, saying, "Don’t be angry, this worm won’t take his life, it’s just a lesson, let him remember well not to look for trouble with Master Zhou for no reason."

The Xian Nu saw her confidant being gnawed by the worm, naturally upset, but she could do nothing else.

A minor impatience spoils great plans, a fourth-grade elixir had already been given, and the old servant’s pain would have to be endured together.

But despite holding back, the Xian Nu’s ten fingers continuously scratched at the armrest in the Shining Stone Divine Hall, silently venting her anger.

Her ten long fingernails, four or five broke during the scratching.

When Yin Nv’er was left with countless holes and on the brink of death, the Sect Leader whistled, recalling the worm, coldly saying, "Since Mr. Yin has been punished, your trouble for Master Zhou will be temporarily put to an end."

"What do you mean by temporarily?"

The Xian Nu finally rose, her strength dark and deep, causing the armrest to shake.

"Master Zhou asked me to tell you all—he will hold onto this leverage for a lifetime."

After speaking, the Eternal Life Sect Leader decisively departed,

The Xian Nu swayed and slumped onto the divine throne, holding her head with one hand, regretfully saying, "I should have known, the Eternal Life Sect Leader has bravery but no wisdom, how could he have thought of extorting our Fire Sect—it was indeed Zhou Xuan’s idea!

Zhou Xuan, such a terrible person, if nothing else, those wicked stratagems, one after another."

She looked hatefully ahead, in the direction the Sect Leader left, always feeling in the hazy distance stood an undefeatable giant—that giant was Zhou Xuan.

...

After Zhou Xuan parted ways with the Eternal Life Sect Leader, he hailed a yellow cart and gazed at the scenery along the way back to East Market Street.

As the yellow cart was nearing Jingyi Shop, the road ahead was packed with layers upon layers of people, making the street impassable.

"Boss, we can’t go any further ahead."

"Stop here then."

Zhou Xuan got off the yellow cart, pulled out two bills, handed them to the driver, and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

He clearly heard Zhao Wuya’s voice.

Once he pushed through the crowd, he saw Zhao Wuya chasing his own big black donkey, eyes full of desire, still madly yelling at the innermost layer,

"My dear disciple, you’re really doing such a playful thing with your teacher?"

"You run, I chase; you run, I chase again. Don’t let me catch you."

"If I catch you, I’ll hehe hehe..."

Zhou Xuan knew at once that Zhao Wuya must have eaten the Joyful Longevity Pill—last night at the gathering, Zhao Wuya behaved like this when contaminated by the Joy Demon, believing he had recruited a large number of female disciples and indulged in worldly pleasures.

"Ya Zi must have stolen Old Yun and Li Shanzu’s Joyful Longevity Pill while they were gone, and that’s why he’s gone mad."

Though Zhao Wuya was mad this time, fortunately, the fifth senior brother was on vacation today, not going to work at the Bone Elder Association. Combined with Sister Cui helping out, they managed to hold Zhao Wuya down for the most part.

Ya Zi’s legs were not swift enough to catch his donkey.

"Ya Zi, Ya Zi, wake up, he’s not your disciple, he’s your donkey."

"Blind, Zhao Wuya, you’re too blind."

Sister Cui grabbed Zhao Wuya’s left hand, the fifth senior brother pulled on his right, but Zhao Wuya’s incense had already broken six sticks, and in his frenzy, these two couldn’t hold him down.

"Ya Zi, stop going mad."

Zhou Xuan rushed forward, donned the Tao Ancestor Mask, utilizing the "Saint’s Infinite," and when the momentum was enough, he leaped to Zhao Wuya’s side, fiercely grabbed his back, and lifted him up.

"Fifth Senior Brother, do you have a rope?"

"Yes."

Lv Mingkun took the thick rope for tying cattle from an enthusiastic bystander and threw it to Zhou Xuan.

In a few swift moves, Zhou Xuan tied Zhao Wuya into "Turtle Shell Binding," hauling him into the shop.

But even tied up, Zhao Wuya was still restless, and just as he hit the ground he wriggled forward like a worm, still trying to chase his black donkey.

"He’s really not behaving."

Zhou Xuan had no choice but to hang Zhao Wuya up.

Then, Zhou Xuan asked Sister Cui and the fifth senior brother, "Where are Fuzi and Hua Zi?"

"Oh, Lord Jian has been staying at my home to protect me, but today he heard from Old Yun and Old Li that there’s a villain with high feng shui skill in the street, so he went with them to investigate."

"Fuzi and Hua Zi saw that Ya Zi was in trouble, and went separately to find Old Yun and Lord Jian..."

The fifth senior brother and Sister Cui explained the situation one line at a time.

Zhou Xuan was furious, looking at the "idiot" Zhao Wuya, and said, "Ya Zi ah, Ya Zi, you must have itchy hands, stealing Old Li and Old Yun’s elixir."

"Hehe hehe, girl disciples, Master lets you take three moves..."

"Damn, it’s a disgrace."

Just as Zhou Xuan cursed, a drum sound echoed in the room,

After the drum sound faded, the Eternal Life Sect Leader appeared in front of Zhou Xuan: "Greetings, Master Zhou, today I went to Xianhuo Palace and had great harvests..."

Zhou Xuan didn’t have time to care how much the Eternal Life Sect Leader had gained, he just asked, "Little Chang Sheng, you’ve eaten elixirs before, tell me how to suppress the madness from elixirs my brother is experiencing?"
