Chapter 961: You Cannot Stand Firmly If You Aren’t Ruthless

This slash was considered remarkable and earth-shattering!

A perfect act of cooperating with each other.

Everything happened like it had been orchestrated from the beginning.

When Luo Tian finished up with his attacks, Yao Hai grabbed the opportunity when Wei Kunlun couldn’t catch his breath. A blade slashed over with a shout, “Bastard, hand over your life!”

“Swish~!”

The wind from the blade ravaged the area.

A cold light briefly flashed.

Wei Kunlun almost pissed his pants in fear as cold sweat dampened his back. Seeing the oncoming blade slash, he felt like it would be very difficult for him to dodge it.

But he didn’t panic even though he was frightened half to death. His eyes turned fierce as he shouted, “A piece of trash like you wants to kill me?! You are looking down on me!”

A wooden shield suddenly materialized in front of Wei Kunlun’s body.

“Ommm~!”

The blade landed right on the wooden shield, and a powerful recoil force blasted out.

“Bang~!”

Yao Hai was bounced back over a few dozen meters before landing heavily on the ground. The blood in his chest churned as the rebounding power of the shield injured his organs. It was very painful. He looked at Wei Kunlun in shock and exclaimed, “It’s the Heavenly Plume Shield!”

“Old sect leader was really killed by you!”

Wei Kunlun didn’t deny it and sneered, “So what if I did it? That old man was taking over the latrine but wasn’t even shitting. The Heavenly Plume Sect was practically half-dead in his hands. I might as well take over before it’s too late. If I hadn’t killed him, the Heavenly Plume Sect may not have landed in my hands, hahaha…”

The Heavenly Plume Shield was a spirit treasure that the first Heavenly Plume Sect Leader found from an unknown place.

When one looked at it, the wooden shield looked very normal, like any other shield.

But it possessed the most unfathomable powers, especially when it came to its defensive attribute. A lot of weapons were incapable of breaking past it. It was because of this that the Heavenly Plume Shield became the symbol of the sect leader. Whoever had the Heavenly Plume Shield was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Plume Sect.

Wei Kunlun secretly killed the old sect leader. He falsely transmitted an order saying the old sect leader had passed the sect leader position to him. From then on, the Heavenly Plume Shield seemed to have disappeared into thin air. And thus, Wei Kunlun successfully became the new sect leader of the Heavenly Plume Sect.

Otherwise, the sect leader’s position wouldn’t have landed in his hands.

Now that the Heavenly Plume Shield had appeared, Yao Hao immediately understood that it was Wei Kunlun who had killed the old sect leader.

“You despicable treacherous bastard!”

“The old sect leader treated you so well and even gave you his daughter’s hand in marriage. Yet you treated him like that!” Yao Hai shouted through clenched teeth. The hatred inside him intensified even more, wishing he could eat Wei Kunlun alive!

Wei Kunlun sneered, “Junior Brother Yao, it’s everyone for themselves in this world. You and I are both people who came to the Ancient World from a lower realm. We are all very clear it is useless no matter how hard we try when we have an average talent. We will never make it big. We can only deploy some tricks if we want to stand above others. How can I be the new sect leader if the old sect leader doesn’t die? As for his daughter… heh heh… She was also killed after finding out my secret. The only one left now is you.”

Wei Kunlun had once worked very hard to cultivate, but it was all useless.

When one’s innate talent was limited, they would also get suppressed by the laws of the Ancient World. This was something a martial artist from the lower realm couldn’t change! Since he was unable to make further breakthroughs in his cultivation, he could only use other methods!

It was very obvious that his method had succeeded.

He had become the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Plume Sect all these years, controlling everything that happened within.

However, his management skills were not up to par, and he had taken the majority of the cultivation resources from the Bai family for his own use. This naturally caused the Heavenly Plume Sect to gradually decline. Once he saw Luo Tian, Wei Kunlun immediately saw a trace of hope. What he never imagined was that his junior brother Yao Hai, who had always listened to him obediently, would suddenly betray him at such a critical juncture.

With just a nod of his head, Luo Tian would have become a Heavenly Plume Sect disciple.

Once Luo Tian becomes a disciple of the Heavenly Plume Sect, the influence they would have over Martial Mountain City will instantly increase. The year after, the Bai family might support them and make the Heavenly Plume Sect become the number one sect in Martial Mountain City. Eventually, they might even become a new silver level force that could rival the Bai family!

He had this fantasy all figured out.

But because of Yao Hai, everything was ruined! He was furious and filled with hatred!

Yao Hai’s face turned red in rage. He walked forward one step at a time, gripping his long blade tightly. His killing intent rose up further as he said, “You killed the old sect leader. You killed Little Sister Qin. My wife and my children all died at your hands. Wei Kunlun, you ungrateful son of a b*tch! I will kill you today even if I have to pay with my life!”

Every word was accompanied by a single step.

His stance was wide open and showed no attempts at defending.

Yao Hai was going to fight with his life on the line!

Luo Tian stood to the side and watched the gradual change from Wei Kunlun’s figure. He then looked at the shield in his hands and muttered, “A boss… another person that turned into a boss from their spiritual treasure. I really didn’t expect this at all.”

He never expected this would happen again.

In Luo Tian’s eyes, Wei Kunlun was no longer a human but a game boss!

A boss with a spiritual treasure in his hand. It was definitely the wooden-looking shield that made him evolve into a boss, which was somewhat similar to what happened with Wu Feng.

“Explode him!”

“I have to be the one to explode him!”

Luo Tian smiled excitedly and slowly walked forward. He walked toward Wei Kunlun and said, “Irredeemably evil! Kill!”

Wei Kunlun looked at both of them before saying with a cold smile, “I’m irredeemably evil? I’m ungrateful? I’m sure you two would do exactly the same thing if you were in my place. Anyone in the Ancient World would do the same thing. You cannot stand firmly if you aren’t ruthless!”

“Yao Hai. Luo Tian. I have spoken so much with you two today because you will not survive until the next day!”

Wei Kunlun narrowed his eyes and raised his long sword. He then shouted, “Where are the disciples of the Heavenly Plume Sect?! Come and kill them!”

“Whoosh~, whoosh~, whoosh~…”

“Whoosh~, whoosh~, whoosh~…”

A dozen or so elite disciples of the Heavenly Plume Sect rushed out from both sides of the martial training grounds and surrounded Luo Tian and Yao Hai.

Yao Hai’s expression changed, “You guys have all heard our conversation. Do you think it’s worth it to work for a despicable and ruthless sect leader like him?”

Yao Hai felt his heart ache when he saw so many disciples he had taught point their swords at him.

Most importantly, these people looked like they had no thoughts of leaving this sect. They had not wavered one bit. One could see the lessons in integrity he taught them in the past were all useless. Yao Hai never imagined not a single disciple had come to stand by his side.

These disciples were very clear that Wei Kunlun was a Four Elements 4th ranker, and he was holding onto the Heavenly Plume Shield. No matter which aspect one looked at the situation from, Luo Tian and Yao Hai weren’t his match!

There was no doubt about it.

Standing on Yao Hai’s side was equivalent to seeking their own death!

“Elder Yao, I’m sorry, but we want to live, too. Please put down your weapon and surrender. This will be the best outcome for all of us.”

“Elder Yao, surrender and help us kill Luo Tian. Everything that has happened was because of him! Once he is killed off, everything will become normal once more!”

“What you’ve said is right! It’s all because of this newcomer! Kill him!”

All fingers were pointing at Luo Tian.
