Ive Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?
Alright, alright. Big Foot Luo waved his hand impatiently, How could I not know my own disciples? Those kids never had such intentions in the first place. He glared disapprovingly at Cultivator Wuchen. Dont think I dont know. Although my two disciples are good, they cant achieve the level of praise you give them. Let me tell you, dont take advantage of my disciples, or else there will be consequences.
Cultivator Wuchen smiled casually, Rest assured, I know youre protective. Actually, I do want to slightly take advantage Seeing Big Foot Luos hostile gaze, he quickly added, But I do indeed have high hopes for your two disciples.
I knew you had ulterior motives, muttered Big Foot Luo under his breath.
Cultivator Wuchen wore a troubled expression, Im telling you, Little Radish, you shouldve been more cautious! With your temperament, if it werent for your strength and my secret support, you wouldnt know how many times youd have been fooled!
Though feeling guilty, Big Foot Luo maintained a strong front, Whats there to fear? You already said Im strong enough! Besides, dont I still have you to watch over me?
Cultivator Wuchens face darkened, Then what if I cant watch over you in the future?
Big Foot Luo was surprised, Whats wrong? Is something wrong with your health?
Cultivator Wuchen felt warmth in his heart. His junior brother still cared for him.
Im fine, but you know, the conflict between humans and devils hasnt reached its peak in this war yet. Once the transformation jade pendants hit the battlefield, if the devils dont want to be annihilated, theyll surely launch their final attack.
He glanced at Big Foot Luo, Nobody is certain to survive under that kind of attack, including you and me. The reason I want your two disciples to enter the management is hoping theyll take care of the Tian Luo Peaks lineage in the future.
Upon hearing that, Big Foot Luo understood his senior brothers concerns.
Liuguang Sect was under Cultivator Wuchens control, but it was not his personal possession. Over the years, Big Foot Luo relied on his own strength, causing some trouble to others. Although his doings were mostly with valid reasons, some people would somehow accumulate grudges against him.
Those grudges were not enough to destroy a sect family, but causing some minor issues for causing trouble for Tian Luo Peaks disciples or withholding some resources was entirely possible.
Cultivator Wuchen hoped to use the Xu brothers as a symbol for Tian Luo Peak. As long as they were around, nobody would dare to mistreat the Tian Luo Peak disciples.
However, after some thought, Big Foot Luo refused Cultivator Wuchens good intentions. He believed neither Xu Ziyan nor Xu Zirong was suitable for the management of Liuguang Sect.
Xu Ziyan never intended to be involved, and as for Xu Zirong Well, apart from other aspects, the issue would rise when there was conflict between the sects interests and his elder brothers. Even with closed eyes, one could tell that this kid would definitely sacrifice the sects interests, which was a huge taboo for becoming part of the sects management!
No matter how unreliable Big Foot Luo was, he knew that to become a high-ranking member or even the sect leader, one had to be selfless and prioritize the sects interests above all.
Even if the sect leader occasionally had personal greed, having people like Xu Zirong, who had a tendency to sacrifice the sects interests for an individual, would definitely lead Liuguang Sect to the abyss
Cultivator Wuchen did not understand his disciples, but Big Foot Luo could fully comprehend the nature of his two young fellows.
For the sake of the sects future, hed better keep his disciples hidden.
Is that so? What a pity, Cultivator Wuchen expressed great regrets. Although Big Foot Luo did not explicitly state it, his implications were clear. His two disciples were better off as lucky mascots for the sect Yes, just like Big Foot Luo himself did. As for power and authority, it might be better not to give them Unless Cultivator Wuchen intended to sell Liuguang Sect!
Since Big Foot Luo opposed it, Cultivator Wuchen had no intention of forcing it. However, while thinking about something, his expression suddenly stiffened. As he and Big Foot Luo locked eyes, his gaze involuntarily shifted away
Hey! Why wont you look at me, Senior Brother? As a swords cultivator, Big Foot Luos senses were naturally sharp. He almost immediately detected Cultivator Wuchens discomfort and squinted at him.
Huh? What what are you talking about? Cultivator Wuchen laughed awkwardly, avoiding eye contact with Big Foot Luo.
Dont play dumb! Big Foot Luo became furious, slamming the table in front of his senior brother, leaving a deep palm imprint on the precious sandalwood.
Cultivator Wuchens mouth twitched. He felt the pain but dared not show it.
Its really nothing much Cultivator Wuchen silently lit a candle on his own table, hesitantly speaking.
Nothing much? Whats that supposed to mean? The more Big Foot Luo looked, the more he felt something was wrong. The last time his senior brother showed this guilty expression seemed to be when they played a trick on Qingyi, only to be caught.
Its really nothing Cultivator Wuchen helplessly rubbed his nose. Its just the teleportation array in Guzhan City was destroyed.
Guzhan City? Big Foot Luo was puzzled for a moment, then furrowed his brows deeply. Wasnt that the city closest to the frontlines? They had engaged in numerous battles around that city with the devils, but overall, the city was under the control of the cultivators alliance.
The teleportation array being damaged, how was it related to Ziyan and Zirong? At most, theyd have to travel on foot from another city to the battlefield.
Big Foot Luo suddenly changed his expression with a change of thought. The other city was not far from the frontlines but was under the control of the devils. If Ziyan and Zirong traveled through there on foot, there was a significant chance of being attacked by devils.
Against ordinary devils, with their strength, there was no danger. However, seeing Cultivator Wuchens guilty appearance, it was evident he had leaked the information.
Imagining the conversation between his senior brother and the duo earlier, Big Foot Luo immediately darkened his face, pointing at his senior brother, while barely uttering a word, You you leaked their information to the devils?
Cultivator Wuchen awkwardly rubbed his hands, Actually its not that I told the devils directly, but I had someone accidentally leak the information to those suspicious individuals.
Thats still the same!!! Big Foot Luo flipped the table! Those suspicious individuals naturally referred to several cultivators suspected of colluding with the devils.
There were always people among humans willing to betray their own for personal gain. Without the devils control, their intentions could not be discerned with spells.
Of course, forcefully probing their minds could yield evidence, but it might incite resistance. Cultivator Wuchen had suspected those individuals for some time and used the opportunity to test them. If those individuals truly colluded with the devils, it would be an opportunity to catch them in the act!
Cultivator Wuchen, with a dangerous glint in his eyes, planned on initiating the final battle against the devils since Ziyan had obtained the jade pendants. However, before the decisive battle, those troublemakers needed to be cleared out.
Crash!
As Cultivator Wuchen was envisioning how to rebuild the Xuanyu Realm after the human-devil battle, there was a loud crash. The sandalwood table he had put considerable effort into finding was now shattered into pieces by an infuriated Big Foot Luo.
You actually made Ziyan and Zirong into bait! Big Foot Luo had enough! As a master with a maxed-out protective skill for his disciples, he absolutely could not tolerate someone endangering their lives, even if that person was his senior brother!
Calm down! Seeing Big Foot Luo about to erupt, Cultivator Wuchen quickly advised, Rest assured! I just wanted them to gain some experience, then return with some achievements. Theyre both still young and strong. I wanted them to enter the higher ranks, so they need some accomplishments!
But you dont need to put their lives at risk! Big Foot Luo yelled angrily.
Am I that unreliable!? Cultivator Wuchen rolled his eyes. Firstly, I made those people believe the message I leaked was about carrying logistical supplies. Even if the devils planned to ambush, they wouldnt mobilize high-level devils beyond the nascent soul stage. Secondly, you always treat your disciples like treasures. How could I easily let them take risks? Dont worry, Qingyi is accompanying them. If theres a real threat to their lives, Qingyi will take action.
Hearing that, Big Foot Luo relaxed slightly. Qingyi was a spiritual artifact with intelligence. Even Big Foot Luo was not sure if he could defeat it, let alone other devils!
However, if they encountered cultivators in the later stages of nascent soul or even the deity ascension stage, Xu Zirong would not be able to escape with or without Qingyis presence. However, the devils would not likely send nascent souls or higher cultivators for mere logistical supplies right?
Once confident about his disciples safety, Big Foot Luo softened his attitude towards Cultivator Wuchen.
Looking at the freshly shattered table, Cultivator Wuchen felt a bit depressed for a moment. But soon, he was drawn back into the conversation by Big Foot Luo.
Do you think the people in that central city they mentioned are trustworthy? Big Foot Luo, now relaxed, immediately adopted an unreliable manner, leaning against the wall with his legs crossed, making the chair underneath emit creaking sounds.
After contemplating for a while, Cultivator Wuchen replied, Cant say for sure if theyre trustworthy or not, but it wont harm us.
Big Foot Luo raised an eyebrow, Arent you afraid they might come out and compete with us for resources?
Cultivator Wuchen smiled confidently, Junior Brother, theyre a group sealed within a world infested with devilish energy without coming out for thousands of years, what do you think they could achieve?
That makes sense. Big Foot Luo pondered for a moment, then relaxed. So, are you planning to assist them?
Cultivator Wuchen blinked meaningfully. Didnt Ziyan mention it? Those peoples storerooms have quite a lot of good stuff. Besides, the people needed for that large formation are readily available. Why not take advantage of the situation?
