Chapter 514 "A Tooth for a Tooth, Retaliation (p1)"
Zhu Ge Yi looked bleak as he stood in the cave.
“Elder, help, help….” The two disciples who were still breathing begged the senior for help.
They've been seriously injured. If they don't leave now then it's their life that would on the line. Furthermore, among the two remaining individuals, one of them was in fact the direct disciple of the sect leader from the Sky Armor Sect.
But on the contrary though for Zhu Ge Yi, if he were to send the two out for healing, it would also mean the end of his venture into the Star Cave. Darkening in his expression, the senior slowly moved up to the survivors, “I will.”
He came specifically for the Ninth Realm pill, now that the disciples are dead and the treasured mouse of the Lord missing, he's got no compelling reason to continue helping his sect. Any contribution gained from returning with the treasure would be absolved by his failure.
So, why not finish the deed and take the treasure and leave? If he has such a valuable reincarnation pill then he too could advance into levels beyond compare. Then with the support of his granddaughter's connection within the Three Life Valley, plus the advancement of Old Lord Hong of Da Xia, their family as a whole would become untouchable!

After making up his mind, Zhu Ge Yi moved quickly. Rummaging through the corpses, he gathered all of the valuables they carried and dived deeper into the tunnel for his awaited treasure.
“This Zhu Ge Yi really is a cruel and heartless. To think he would kill his own like this."
After the senior left, that's when Ling Yue and her companions came out of hiding to reveal their frowning faces. Of course, the displeasure wasn't directed at the death of the enemy, rather its of how close they came to meeting the same fate as the members of the Sky Armor Sect.
“Ling Yue, what are you doing? Why are you trying to save that person?" Lan Caier asks, bewildered by her sister's action upon noticing how one of them could still be saved with the proper treatment.
“Zhu Ge Yi did us a big favor along the way so of course we need to return the courtesy." Chuckling deviously, Ling Yue worked quick and got straight to rescuing this last individual.
Before long the disciple from the Sky Army Sect has regained his consciousness. "You, what are you trying to do to me?" All fearful and unnerved, the man eyes the group nervously.
“Big Brother, you don't have to be afraid, I'm the one who saved you. If I was going to harm you then why would I go through so much trouble, right? Oh yes, if my memories serve me right, you are the direct disciple of the Lord of the Sky Armor Sect." Smiling right up to her teeth, Ling Yue's scheming nature was acting up again.
She's already investigated the matter prior to entering and knows exactly what sort of background Zhu Ge Yi and his men has.
“Ye-Yes, I am. Thank you Miss for saving me." Rattled even further, the man stutters at being sized up for whatever misdeed the girl has in store for himself.
“Then tell me, why did Zhu Ge Yi only choose the fourth cave?” Practically blooming now, her smile looked like it was barring fangs despite it being so friendly looking.
At first the disciple was still hesitant to answer due to it being their sect's secret, but upon further deliberation and knowing how heavily injured he was, the man knew his chances at the treasure was over.
