Chapter 200: Ungrateful Zhang
Xue Fang didn't say much since she knew the matter was outside of her power.
She cannot just tell her disciples to trust all people in her family to enter her sect without any agreement. But at the same time, she also cannot convince her whole sect to agree with MingYue.
As for MingYue, other than wanting to help her Master and expand the sect, she also feels curious about their background.
Whether they really come from another planet or not.
"Do you have something I can show to them?"
"Yes, give me a second." MingYue directed her mind toward her storage ring and began rummaging through some of the items.
After some time, she took out a few pictures of her sect, a floating island with high-rise buildings on top of it.
"Is this your sect? But how?"
Xue Fang's eyes widened upon seeing the picture, but what surprised her even more was the material of the paper and the quality of the image; she had never seen anything like that before.
"I am sorry, Master. Honestly, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just hard to explain without you seeing it with your own eyes."
Xue Fang paused for a moment; many thoughts came to her, 'I honestly prefer going to her secret realm if it's like what she told me. It's better to escape rather than have a conflict; if only everything were that simple.'
Right now, the Fang family is experiencing growing dissatisfaction among the villagers.
'Why do they still need to take a passive stance, even though they are now being attacked?'
There were already some casualties from their Clan.
'How long should they wait to seek justice?'
It's not like their Clan was weak; with the puppets and their hidden weapons, they believed they could be a strong force, competing with families and sects from the central region.
As Xue Fang made her way a distance away from the village, a group of cultivators was gathering; they were the Yang Clan.
The golden core cultivator looked at Zhang Xueqi, "Did you know the cultivator from before? She seemed agitated after seeing you. I'm sure if not for my presence, she would have killed you already."
Zhang furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this. At that time, he did feel the woman's hostility, but he didn't realize it was targeted at him.
"No, I don't know about her. As I said before, only those stupid people are my enemy now, and you already killed them; as for the rest, they are just insects in my eyes."
"You sure talk big for someone that depends on us. Remember the deal, Zhang, if this treasure is really worth it, we will accept you into our family by marrying you to one of my distant cousins, and we will clean up all those insects.
But if this is wrong, prepare yourself; this venture has already cost us a lot," Yang Fei said coldly.
Zhang gulped; he knew how strict the Yang Family was.
Worry started filling his mind, but he shook it off, 'No, I am sure it will be worth it. I have seen what they can do. I am sure they have that weapon.'
In the past, he was ambushed by some cultivators, then he fought tooth and nail to survive. And his effort paid off; he survived but not without a cost; he almost died. At that time, one of the Fang Family came and rescued him.
But in the middle of the way, they were ambushed by a strong cultivator. This is when he saw with his own eyes how strong the Fang clan is.
Their way of fighting is something he had never seen, and their weapon is very strong. Enough to even kill a strong cultivator in one attack.
At that time, the attacker was in the late nascent soul realm, while the one helping him was only in the early core formation realm.
"Young Master, you should have seen their weapon and the doll's capability; even this alone should be enough for my request."
Yang Fei snorted; he did see the value of these dolls, but so far, it was only against low-level cultivators; he hadn't seen anything that could be really useful for his Clan.
He then addressed everyone around him, "Alright, enough dilly-dallying. After the other elder comes here, we will begin our attack.
This time, with two golden core cultivators, we must make sure to find the village. There should be no more failures."
They had tried to attack multiple times but barely made any progress, even with many casualties. They didn't even get any of the Fang family corpses or storage rings.
This is why Yang Fei decided to ask for more help, despite knowing this would affect his achievements and reduce his contributions.
Back in the village, Mingyue was now talking with Lianhua, asking her about her experiences in detail to gain more intel.
'There isn't much I can tell, honestly; you know more about them than me, other than their combat ability. But it's kind of hard to explain with words; why not just read it directly from my memory?'
Mingyue paused for a moment, then replied, 'I really don't know you anymore; just how much of the old Lianhua is your real personality?'
Who in their right mind would ask others to read their memories?
Even though Mingyue is taking revenge on her, she still feels it's over the line. In her mind, it's worse than killing or even torturing someone.
"Why are you so reluctant? Don't you hate me, Mingyue?"
"You do realize if I read your memories, that will include everything you have experienced."
"Yes, do it." Her words surprised Mingyue once more; it was clear from the tone she was looking forward to it.
[Target is feeling hopeful and excited]
"Just what is her goal?" Mingyue thought to herself as she really didn't get it.
In reality, Lianhua did have a personal agenda; she thought if Mingyue read her memories, she would empathize with her and spare her family.
