Chapter 64: Making a Fortune While Lying Down

  ……

  The withered skeleton's zombie face raised an eyebrow slightly, but still endured. After all, no matter what, if the ghost was not wronged, why would it be idle and bored, running to the door to make trouble.

  "Yes, elder ancestor." Lei Dong continued to pretend to be gentle and kind, trembling with fear as he flew the Charm Sword over to the three Golden Dan elders. As if unable to withstand the oppressive might of the several elders, his body trembled uncontrollably, struggling not to fall off the flying sword.

  The Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Ghosts saw this and was both amused and annoyed in his heart. How did he end up accepting such a personal disciple? Although he knew that the disciple was pretending to be stupid, seeing him with a really silly appearance was really not pleasing to the eye. The old ancestor could only cooperate with anger and scold: "You rascal, how were you taught before? As a member of my evil sect, you can be evil, arrogant, and crazy. If you continue to be timid and humble, it's better to go back and calculate your soul lamp. Otherwise, you'll lose all the face of this seat."

  Lei Dong didn't become more upright because of these words, but instead shrank his head and trembled all over, speaking in a terrified tone: "Elder, please calm down, I'll say it, I'll say it."

  Lowering his head, he didn't dare to look at the three Golden Dan ancestors. With a trembling and intermittent voice, he told the story that was black and white, one by one, although some words were not clear, speaking with trepidation. However, it was still possible for people to hear clearly and truly.

  As soon as the words fell, Wan Gui Lao Zu followed the plan and didn't wait for them to react. He immediately started scolding again: "Ku Gu, did you hear that? Hurry up and hand over Ba Li Yun, let me flay and refine his soul to vent my hatred."

  Ku Bone heard that his heart was also darkly scolding, it seems that this matter is very likely to be true, and the trouble is caused by Bai Li Yun. However, he had just barely accepted a disciple with good qualifications, and was thinking of passing on his legacy. How could he possibly hand over the person? He had no choice but to twitch his zombie face twice, and start making excuses: "Wan Gui, relying on your despicable appearance, you're only a sixth-level Qi Refining stage disciple. You think I would hand over my personally accepted disciple for you to deal with? Isn't that too ridiculous?"

  The sound of thunder, secretly scolding in his heart. Although your ancestor's appearance is not outstanding, it can be considered above the normal standard line. Where does the image look sloppy? On the other hand, you are a withered old demon, neither human nor ghost, and yet you have the face to say such things. Of course, Lei Dong could only secretly scold him. The Golden Elixir Ancestor is not someone he can afford to offend directly.

  As soon as the dry bones started to stir up trouble, Wan Gui Lao Zu was delighted. He secretly smiled to himself, thinking that Lei Dong's plan wasn't bad after all. But on the surface, he pretended to be furious and summoned a top-notch ghost general: "Dry Bones, are you slapping my face?" Then, he suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Fine, fine. You don't have to hand over the person, I'll go in myself to capture them. I want to see if your Dry Bones Peak is really a lair of dragons and tigers." With that, he raised his Wan Gui banner again, ready to take action.

  As expected, Tu Zhang Lao's face changed and he hastily advised: "Wan Gui old brother, don't be impulsive, let's talk things over."

  "Tu Zhanglao, it's not that I don't give you face. Wan Gui Laozu's face was twisted with a fierce gaze, and he glared at Ku Gu with a burst of killing intent: "The whole thing, who is right and who is wrong, I believe Tu Zhanglao has already figured it out in his heart. This Ku Gu also knows the truth, but still refuses to give me an explanation. Could it be that you really think I'm a softie, and you can bully me as you please?"

  "Put aside your anger, first put aside your anger." Butcher Long Lao was also very depressed. Since becoming the elder, he had been acting as a mediator for various caves and mansions all day long, and his temper had changed. With a smile, he advised Wan Gui, then turned to scold Ku Gu Laoren with an angry face: "Ku Gu brother, you are older than me by dozens of years. I shouldn't be the one to scold you, but you have been too indulgent towards your disciples. How could they run to Wan Gui's territory and fight over a demon beast, hurting people? And yet, you refuse to apologize to Wan Gui, isn't this bullying?"

  "Old Slaughter, it's not that I don't want to hand over the responsibility." The withered bone's stiff face also twitched a few times, and he said with a guilty conscience: "It's just that Baili Yun has returned from his Blood Escape and is still in a coma. How can we make a rash judgment about Baili Yun's fault after only hearing one side of the story? I think it's better to wait until Baili wakes up and then ask him thoroughly."

  "Listen, Butcher Long, listen." Wan Gui Lao Zu was again filled with grief and indignation, and he retorted: "He's obviously trying to muddy the waters, asking that little scoundrel? I can guarantee that with that little scoundrel's shamelessness and ferocity, he will definitely retort against Ding Yuanyan. My suggestion is to directly search his soul and extract the truth."

  "Let out your fart, searched soul, is my disciple still useful? Might as well search the soul of this despicable disciple, anyway, a disciple with such quality is useless to keep."

  I felt an urge to throw out a thunderbolt and blast that old scoundrel, what's the point of keeping it anyway?

  "Ha! You're pushing people too far, old bones. Are your direct disciples just ordinary disciples? My own direct disciples aren't even human?" The Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Ghosts was enraged to the point of laughter, his aura surging greatly once again as he prepared to make a move.

  The old butcher was also dizzy from their quarrel, but he still tended to favor Wan Gui. After all, that skeleton could clearly be seen as a troublemaker. However, thinking about it, the skeleton couldn't help it either. They couldn't really deal with Bai Li Yun, the only disciple of the Yin Lü Sect in ten years, because of this matter. Moreover, Wan Gui's Dīng Wǎn Yán seemed to have an advantage over Bai Li Yun. Regardless of who was right or wrong, these two disciples were not allowed to get into trouble, and they might become pillars of the sect in the future. After some thought, Butcher Zhang himself also felt that he could only meddle in this matter.

  However, what Old Slaughter never expected was that not only did the dry bones want to stir up trouble, but he himself wanted to stir up trouble. In reality, however, the most active in secretly stirring up trouble was actually Wan Gui...

  "Master Tu, as a senior member of the sect, you've watched me grow up. Are you going to take charge for me? Think about it, since I established the Wan Gui Cave over 70 years ago, every time I took in disciples, they were all leftovers that others didn't want. Now that I finally got Ding Yuanyan, I didn't expect her to be ambushed and almost killed. This is a grievance I, Master Wan Gui, cannot swallow."

  This remark made Tu Changsheng somewhat apologetic to Wan Gui, if the other party was not Bai Lianyun, but a slightly inferior disciple. Tu Changsheng would have died long ago and let Wan Gui fry or skin him alive, as long as he could vent his anger.

  But Bailing Yun was not going to let it go, that old bones wouldn't agree even if he died. Besides, getting rid of him would mean the sect would lose a new talent in the future. After some thought, Tuliang Lao had no choice but to say apologetically: "Wan Gui Lao Di, is Wan Yan okay? She's not seriously hurt, it's actually a good thing, she can learn from her mistakes. In the future, she'll be more cautious. As cultivators, we go against heaven and earth, there will always be ups and downs on our path, how can we always have smooth sailing? Moreover, you can't be too protective of that child, although she's a good seedling, being knocked around will make her stronger." Seeing Wan Gui Lao Zu's face didn't look very good, Tuliang Lao could only try to comfort him: "Of course, it's not like we're going to let Wan Yan suffer in vain. This way, since neither of them has anything serious, just some injuries... I'll take charge of this matter. Ku Gu, as the elder, you didn't discipline your disciple properly, so you have to take responsibility for this. Let Wan Gui choose two top-grade artifacts from your storage room, and 100,000 spirit stones, that's Bailing Yun's apology to Wan Yan."

  "What? Two top-grade artifacts?" The undead skeleton's face also twisted, and he roared: "No way, this is absolutely impossible. I'll give you 3 million spirit stones."

  "Dead bones, are you not sincere?" Butcher Long was also furious, secretly scolding him. If he weren't the current leader, he would have kicked Dead Bones by now. What kind of person is this, and yet they still try to make excuses for him?

  Jian De Tu's face turned gloomy, and Ku Gu also felt a pang of unease, but he still haggled: "Two items are too many, I'll give you one top-grade artifact, 200,000 spirit stones."

  "Wan Gui, what do you think?" Tu Zhang Lao changed his expression again and smiled at Wan Gui: "In my opinion, venting is meaningless. It's better to gain some practical benefits."

  "Two pieces, not one less." Wan Gui's heart was thrilled, thinking that his family's Lei Dong was indeed a lucky star. A top-grade treasure! He had lived until now and seemed to have collected only two or three pieces. Gentle words were also effective, and he could make a fortune even while lying down.
