Chapter 909
Glory and Disgrace
If only I could also fight alongside you to the death, Senior Brother. It pains me every time I have to put on this act, internally brooded Yao Wuji, then voicing, “Senior Brother, I can see farther than you can.”
“Coward,” shunned Daoist Yun Dan.
Yao Wuji gently shuddered and then returned to Shi Dengtian.
“Brother Yao, you should know his personality well enough by now. He’s not the type to bow his head. I have no choice but to do this the hard way,” stated Shi Dengtian, patting Yao Wuji on the shoulder.
“You are right, Senior Brother.”
“Senior Brother, since you refuse to yield, I am forced to make you yield,” Shi Dengtian announced.
Qian Shange and Wan Shuiyao advanced, only to stop upon seeing someone jump in front of Daoist Yun Dan.
“Nobody will be laying their hands on Patriarch!” Cai Lie, armed with a sword, asserted staunchly. “Pill Cauldron Sect only has one patriarch –Uncle Yun Dan. Nobody else is qualified to replace him!”
Nobody could believe the most laid-back disciple who had a penchant for constantly drinking to be the one to take a stand.“What are you doing here?! Didn’t I tell you to train at Self-Reflection Cliff?!” Yao Wuji thundered, now also worried for his disciple’s wellbeing.
“How do you expect me to sit still there when this is happening? Why have you chosen to be Shi Dengtian’s henchman? This is not the shifu I know!” Cai Lie erupted, eyes red.
“I can’t pardon you impudence!”
Yao Wuji bound forward, set on restraining Cai Lie, because, if anyone else were to go after Cai Lie, they would give him a death sentence. Cai Lie, nonetheless, popped a pill drawing his sword on his shifu. Clang! Yao Wuji managed to shield himself in a timely fashion. In saying that, Cai Lie consumed a rank six pill, skystrike pill, a pill to overpower anyone in the same realm for fifteen minutes, rank seven pill, nine swirls pill, a pill to jump to the ninth realm of whatever realm the consumer was at for an hour, boosting his cultivation to match his shifu’s, thereby forcing Yao Wuji backwards.
“You would dare use pills I gave you against me?!” blustered Yao Wuji, referring to the level seven pill he concocted that helped him attain level seven alchemist status as a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator – which was also given to Cai Lie to use when his life was on the line.
“Shifu, you always taught me to refine my heart and mind before thinking about refining pills. You taught me just thoughts were necessary to produce the best pills and use them to their maximum potential. I’m using the pills in the right scenario, just as you taught me!”
“I never told you to commit suicide!”
“Yet you are driving Uncle to his death. I do not know what happened to you, but I can’t sit back and watch. If you want to harm him, you have to go through me first!”
While Yao Wuji had a lot to say, he had to refrain.
The reason Daoist Yun Dan bumped into Yao Wuji when the latter sent Cai Lie into seclusion was to hide his two disciples – Bie Wenxuan and Lian Tianyou – at Reflection Cliff under the guise of punishment as he knew things would be going south. Thus, Daoist Yun Dan heartily pressed his hand on Cai Lie’s shoulder, saying, “How ironic that your disciple can see what you can’t. Nonetheless, step down, Cai Lie. I appreciate the thought; however, I can’t let you risk your life.”
“No, Uncle. I will not retreat.”
“Pill Cauldron Sect’s future needs you. Heed my advice,” impugned Daoist Yun Dan, sounding exhausted.
“If Pill Cauldron Sect falls into the sect of scoundrels, I cannot make any difference. My shifu taught me to stand up for what is right. I rather go down with Pill Cauldron Sect in honour than live in disgrace,” Cai Lie asserted, staring at Yao Wuji, much to the latter’s delight and disappointment.
“Since I can’t dissuade you, I’ll fight until my last breath alongside you.”
Really, there was no point in having Cai Lie step down as Shi Dengtian would undoubtedly heckle, if not silence, Cai Lie in the future for opposing him. Besides, if Cai Lie kept resisting once Daoist Yun Dan was out of the picture, Cai Lie would be fighting alone instead of with Daoist Yun Dan as an ally.
