"I don't know either, what about it?"
A mischievous grin flickered across Zhang Ergou's face.
"Heh heh!"
"I have the same idea!"
"Exactly, this mongrel relies on his superior cultivation to be so arrogant just now. I felt like killing him."
Xiao Qingyu said fiercely, holding two large hammers.
"Then what are we waiting for? Before those inner disciples find out, let's do it quickly." Su Dan Novel Network
No sooner said than done!
The four quickly made their move. Xiao Qingyu swung his two large hammers fiercely towards Qin Lang's head.
Zhang Ergou, Lin Yichen, and Wang Teng also smashed their weapons fiercely onto Qin Lang's body.
Qin Lang, still enduring the excruciating pain in his soul, never expected to be attacked at this moment.
Completely caught off guard, he was directly struck heavily by the four.
Xiao Qingyu's two giant hammers landed directly on his head, causing Qin Lang to fall unconscious.
It was an indirect help to Qin Lang, sparing him from enduring the inhuman pain any longer.
Seeing Qin Lang fall unconscious, the group ceased their attacks and quickly retracted their weapons.
Then they rummaged through Qin Lang, and soon his storage ring and other valuable items were plundered.
Finally, after stripping Qin Lang naked, the group hastily retreated from the scene in another direction.
The other inner disciples who followed Qin Lang, knowing Qin Lang's usual style of doing things,
and having full faith in his cultivation, none of them came to look for him.
They all understood Qin Lang's character, knowing that although he always wore a smile, it was a facade.
This kid was ruthless when he took action, and he had a peculiar habit of disliking anyone watching when he was at work.
This was also why Zhang Ergou and the others only encountered Qin Lang alone for so long.
Moreover, the inner disciples who came with Qin Lang knew that Qin Lang intended to toy with Zhang Ergou and the others today.
Naturally, they didn't come to court his displeasure.
If they angered this hypocritical senior brother, their lives in the inner sect would become difficult.
Of course, Zhang Ergou and the others knew none of this. If they had, they wouldn't have fled in such a hurry.
The group ran wildly. After nearly half an hour of running and seeing no one pursuing them, they finally felt at ease.
...
"Ergou, goodbye for now. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate properly when I get back today!"
At the foot of Lingyu Peak, Lin Yichen said to Zhang Ergou with a solemn expression.
He had been truly disheartened today. If being beaten by Jiang Tian and others a few days ago had made the former number one outer disciple feel defeated,
then meeting Qin Lang today and facing that sense of powerlessness had plunged Lin Yichen into despair, further strengthening his resolve to become stronger.
"Mmm, take care!" Zhang Ergou nodded. He naturally understood Lin Yichen's thoughts. The feeling of powerlessness when facing Qin Lang was not felt by him alone.
Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu also stepped forward to bid farewell to Zhang Ergou. Although they had gained a lot in the past day and night, none of them could truly feel happy.
This was because not only was their cultivation pitifully low in the inner sect, but their opponents were no longer just the early-stage Golden Core realm cultivators like Jiang Tian and Zhuge Wen.
There was also Qin Lang, a mid-stage Golden Core realm cultivator.
...
After parting ways at the foot of Lingyu Peak, Zhang Ergou walked up Lingyu Peak alone. Upon reaching the summit, he saw a peerless figure meditating and cultivating.
"Master?"
Chi Ling, dressed in white, was closing her eyes, breathing in and out. Zhang Ergou's appearance was naturally sensed by her.
She ignored him, but when the young man saw that she wasn't responding, he didn't leave but instead sat down.
Chi Ling frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
"Master, you've finished your cultivation!" Zhang Ergou had forgotten that he had a terrifying martial uncle.
Perhaps this kid deliberately didn't think about that terrifying matter, so he didn't recognize that the person in front of him was not his master, Chi Yu.
"Master?" Chi Ling was startled, then understood the reason.
Since this brat had mistaken her for someone else, why not take this excellent opportunity to tease him?
A beautiful smile played on her lips as Chi Ling looked at Zhang Ergou.
Upon closer inspection, she was startled by the miserable state of this kid.
What had this kid been doing down the mountain? Had he been caught peeking at some female disciple bathing and severely beaten by her master?
Chi Ling thought wickedly.
However, despite her thoughts, she maintained an extremely concerned demeanor.
"Ergou, my good disciple, what happened to you? Why does your face look like this?"
Chi Ling, struggling to suppress a smile, pretended to be concerned and reached out to touch Zhang Ergou's swollen cheek.
"Good disciple!" Zhang Ergou instinctively felt something was wrong.
This was because Chi Yu had always called him a stinky kid and had never addressed him like this before.
However, so much had happened over the past day and night that Zhang Ergou had no energy to dwell on these minor details.
Seeing his "Master" ask with concern, Zhang Ergou naturally wouldn't reveal the truth.
Was he going to say that he and Lin Yichen had robbed inner disciples, incurred public anger, and were pursued by disciples from the Disciplinary Peak?
And then he was severely beaten by Qin Lang?
Naturally, he couldn't.
However, he still had to find a way to smooth things over. Otherwise, if his master found out what he had done after coming down the mountain, would he ever have the chance to come down again?
"Master, you wouldn't believe it. I originally went down the mountain to catch up with Lin Yichen and Wang Teng."
"I've been in the inner sect for so long, and it's been a while since I've seen those brothers from the outer sect. It's natural to strengthen our bonds."
"Last night, after I went down the mountain, I met Lin Yichen and the others at the foot of Lingyu Peak. It seems they had the same idea as me."
"But, an accident still happened. We brothers were killing and roasting a monster in the back mountain, and everything was fine."
"Suddenly, several early-stage Golden Core realm inner disciples attacked from behind us. When we looked, weren't they Jiang Tian, Zhuge Wen, and Zuo Tian?"
Zhang Ergou vividly described the fabricated story he had concocted, unaware of the sly glint in the eyes of the "Master" in front of him.
"Master, I swear to the heavens, that my actions towards Jiang Tian and the others during the Beast Forest trial were out of helplessness. But they simply didn't believe me."
"They said I deliberately embarrassed them and that I deliberately spread rumors and damaged their reputation after entering the inner sect."
"Naturally, we didn't accept this and started to argue with them. But who knew they were prepared and didn't give us a chance to explain, instead attacking and beating us severely."
"Master, if I hadn't followed your instruction not to use spiritual energy and spells after coming down the mountain, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"
By the end, Zhang Ergou's voice was choked with tears...
"My good disciple, you have been wronged. In that case, it is my fault. What compensation do you want?"
