Chapter 588: True Intent

Acid Rain, Lu Xie! Bai Lian shouted.

A laughter came, Junior sister Bai Lian, lets all take it easy so we might meet again. The two juniors are only going out to get some fresh air. Whats the harm in that?

Whoosh~

A youth in green floated down, his smile twisted, and his power making even Bai Lian falter back five steps.

[He got even stronger!]

Bai Lian squinted.

Chi Feng was overjoyed, Senior brother Lu Xie, youre out of seclusion. What great timing!

Ha-ha-ha, Ive been out for a while now and Im only here now to help. Lu Xie snickered, You do your job and Ill handle mine. And thats to get you out of here.

Chi Feng bobbed his head, Ha-ha-ha, senior brother Lu Xie is Venerable s.h.i.+s prized pupil. Were on the same side!

Lu Xie nodded and turned to the frosty Bai Lian, Junior sister, with me in the 9th layer of Radiant Stage and you being in the 8th, theres no way you can win. I am not one to be lenient in my attacks but out of respect for Venerable Bai, I hope you wont fight me and will let them go.

While each one of them had a bigshot behind them, neither wanted to take things too far. As disciples, incurring the wrath of an elder or venerable, even when under Sect Leaders protection, they would still suffer the consequences.

The sects rule stating they couldnt kill disciples might protect them if they went after some n.o.body disciples.

While killing the precious kin of some elder would leave them with no place to hide.

All that was left to do against a madman bent on taking you down with him was to give in and die.

That being said, while all elites were savages and cruel, they knew when to stop.

Like now for instance, Lu Xie had Venerable s.h.i.+ behind him, but killing Venerable Bais granddaughter would render Venerable s.h.i.+s protection useless.

Bai Lian took a deep breath and shouted, Lu Xie, the three venerables have asked us to patrol the barrier and stop anyone who exits it. You know me well enough to know that Im not going to stop just because of a few words.

Ha-ha-ha, true.

Lu Xie chuckled, Id have let this one go if it were any other time, but oh well.

Lu Xies eyes hardened and he shot a green whirlwind at Bai Lian.

The pressure took her breath away, even more so when the acid within could even melt her bones.

The caustic scent spread its foul odor everywhere.

Bai Lian faltered three steps, coming to an impa.s.se.

She knew Lu Xie was going easy or hed be striking with something she couldnt cope with, without even giving her a chance to breathe.

Lu Xie wanted her to get lost. [If you cant even stop this, scram!]

Bai Lian felt even more morose, just this first strike showed the gap between their levels.

Lu Xie snickered at her difficultly, the mockery enraging Bai Lian.

Lu Xie, your arrival wont change a thing!

The shout announced the arrival of a yellow light shooting from the ground, meeting the green whirlwind and scattering it.

Earth Canopy!

Crack!

Lu Xie was pushed two steps back with a dark face.

Whoosh~

A youth in gray with sharp features, blue eyes, pointy nose and thick lips, as well as large ears, stood next to Bai Lian.

The mood of the other three sank.

Lu Xie gnashed his teeth, Qi Changlong! Youre out too?

Just in time too. Who else can stop your murderous tendencies, Lu Xie?

Qi Changlong snorted and barked at the pair, You two, I know what youve done and Fiend Yin warned me that youll be up to something. You wont get to touch Labor Office again!

Big words for someone whos alone. You cant stop all of us.

Lu Xie glared, Qi Changlong, its time for me to take that best elite t.i.tle from you, here and now!

Qi Changlong mocked, Lu Xie, youve been after it for a while now, a shame youll never have it.

Well know after we fight. Youre no match for me after my seclusion. I will take that best elite t.i.tle and after the Double Dragon Gathering, Ill become the Sect Leaders successor!

Go ahead and try! Qi Changlong snorted.

The two were at odds, ready to come to blows at any second.

Chi Feng and Yujuan tensed. This was a fight to settle the next Sect Leader. Lu Xie was always one step short of beating Qi Changlong but had always worked hard to overcome this small gap.

The two ended up as Lu Xies supporters, [Give him h.e.l.l, senior brother!]

Then they thought better of it.

[Wait, we gotta go humiliate laborers, not join this bustle!]

Uhm, senior brother Lu Xie, maybe you should first figure out how to get us out Chi Feng began.

A loud bang cutting him off was the answer for him as the barrier above them shook and broke, as the bright suns rays s.h.i.+ned on the five elites.

Eyes twitching, the fives hostilities ceased right away, Someone broke the barrier!

Whoos.h.!.+

A thin figure came over while they were still out of it, Uhm, pardon me, but could you point me in the direction of Chi Feng and Pang Yujuan?

After another round of eye twitching, they looked at the sloppy guy in shabby clothes, carrying a broom and smiling kindly.

W-who are you? Bai Lian sized him up, but all she got was a 1st layer Radiant Stages vibes and that made her relax.

The guy scratched his nose, Ha-ha-ha, oh where are my manners. I am the boss of Labor Office, Zhuo Fan. You can just call me the coolest, best laborer the Demon Scheming Sect has ever seen, Steward Zhuo. Were holding an apology banquet, you know? With seventh and second elders already present, how can we miss the stars of the show, Chi Feng and Yujuan? Ha-ha-ha, the feast will never achieve its height without them.

So youre that rotten waste Zhuo Fan! Did you not get your face slapped hard enough that you thought to turn the other cheek forward?

Yujuan mocked, The guiding venerables feared that well make a scene at the banquet and had us stuck here. Yet you punk, have just waltzed in. Ha-ha-ha, youve come right into my lap!

Youve really opened my eyes as well! Chi Feng pipped in.

Zhuo Fan smiled back, I take it that youre the two brats?

And what if we are? Are you going to bang your head and beg yours truly to go to that dump again and smack you some more? Pang Yujuan snickered.

Chi Feng laughed alongside her.

Zhuo Fan grinned, Oh, youve understood it all wrong. This apology banquet is for second and seventh elders in particular.

Aint that the same? Theyre our grandpas and were the main stars here. Yujuan stuck her chin out.

Zhuo Fan shook his head with a smile, Oh no no no, youve completely misunderstood me. Were apologizing to the elders alone. Because, you know, their precious grandchildren are about to die at my hand.

Zhuo Fans eyes took on a savage glint, his face hardened as he looked at his prey with a grin
