Chapter 131 Cult Master, I’ll Confess
In the blink of an eye, it was Su Wen’s third day here at the main shrine of the Moon Worship Sect.
Over a hundred Star Rank experts from the various halls were gathered here.
Most of them were younger martial artist who had higher potential. There were also some 9th Grade Star Ranks who were about to break through.
It was clear that while Moon Worship Sect’s sect master controlled the strength of his subordinate halls, he could also increase the strength he commanded. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Compared to the branch, the headquarters was much more secretive.
If not for someone leading the way, it would have been extremely difficult to find it in the forest beside Jinyuan Town.
The so-called main shrine was however relatively sparse.
After all, the Moon Worship Sect wasn’t some great sect with a deep background.
The first generation sect master was this Hong Sanqian.
Hong Sanqian founded the Moon Worship Sect by himself and thought of this method to develop the manpower a few years ago.
From then on, it began to develop rapidly!
This could not be helped. If they were to use to the methods of normal sects, the Moon Worship Sect’s reputation was far inferior to others, and recruiting disciples wasn’t easy either. He could only take a different approach. Needless to say, he really did make a name for himself.
At this moment, Hong Sanqian stood on the high platform with his Cult Mistress beside him.
To be honest, even though Wei Jinyong had commented on the beauty of the Cult Mistress, Su Wen was a little disappointed when he saw her.
Although she could be considered a beauty, in terms of her exquisite looks, she could not be compared to Cui Yumian and Xie Yiyi, who were drop-dead gorgeous.
Furthermore, she was a little old. Although she was also a martial artist and her cultivation was decent, time still left traces on her body.
“Other than living well, she probably has nothing else good in life… oh, she might not be living well either…” Su Wen mused.
Wu Lie was beside him, and unlike Su Wen, he kept staring at the Cult Mistress.
After all, compared to the Cult Master who was speaking up there, the Cult Mistress beside him was more pleasing to the eye.
“All of you are the future of my Moon Worship Sect! Our Sect has only been established for a very short period of time… This is the time we need to use people…”
Su Wen’s eyes were blank. He had heard this kind of brainwashing speech many times in his previous life.
Suddenly, Su Wen noticed that the Cult Mistress was throwing him a flirtatious glance.
“??? Did you just try to flirt with me?”
It didn’t seem right. At this moment, Su Wen noticed that Wu Lie, who was standing by the side, was standing even taller.
“Hoho… she actually like gorillas…”
At this time, Sect Master Hong said, “Our Moon Worship Sect’s foundation has already stabilized. I have thus decided to take several personal disciples from our sect!”
As he spoke, he cast his gaze at Su Wen and said, “After Zuo Qing and Madam introduced me, I’ve decided to take Su Daqiang as my first disciple. As for the others below the age of 20, they’ll be tested and decide whether to take him or not!”
Su Wen was stunned. Zuo Qing was what he expected, but what about the Cult Mistress?
Could it be that this Zuo Qing… and this coquettish Cult Mistress…
No wonder this fellow is so confident… Just as he finished speaking, Zuo Qing and the Cult Mistress shouted at the same time, “Congratulations, Cult Master for obtaining a talent!”
Following that was a tsunami of cheers.
This made Cult Master Hong very satisfied.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard, “Congratulations to Cult Master for obtaining a talent!”
A figure rushed in from outside. It was Li Jue.
He flew to Hong Sanqian’s side and said with a smile, “Cult Master, this subordinate brought back 5,000 strong young men and distributed them to the various mineshafts. We won’t have to worry about our mining manpower!”
Hong Sanqian laughed out loud. “That’s great! That’s great! In that case, my Moon Worship Sect will definitely prosper!” Li Jue cupped his hands and bowed to Su Wen. He smiled and said, “This Su Daqiang is quite fortunate. In the future, when you follow Cult Master Hong, you must practice martial arts well and not slack off!”
After all, he was already Hong Sanqian’s first disciple. Li Jue also wanted to befriend him. The moment he said that, he caught sight of Wu Lie from the corner of his eye. He was first taken aback before his eyes turned sharp!
Su Wen cursed in his heart.
“Leader! Who is this?”
Li Jue pointed at Wu Lie.
Sect Master Hong was stunned before turning to look at Zuo Qing.
Zuo Qing was also a little confused as he hurriedly said, “This is Su Daqiang’s brother, Chu Lie! Both of their fathers are the pimps of the capital’s Hundred Flowers Pavilion. They have a deep relationship and his cultivation level is high, so Su Daqiang pulled him into the sect!”
“Hahahaha! Zuo Qing, you’ve brought a huge disaster upon yourself!” Li Jue said in a deep voice, “How is this man’s father the pimp of Hundred Flowers Pavilion? His father is the general of the rpya; court, Wu Kunhu! His name is Wu Lie! I’ve seen him leading the charge in the army many times!”
Wu Lie’s expression changed drastically as he turned to look at Su Wen.
Su Wen said in a deep voice, “Senior! Are you mistaken? My brother’s surname is not Wu!”
Li Jue coldly said, “Whether he’s Wu Lie or not, we’ll know once the young and strong men outside call in a few people to ask. This kid was always charging forward in every battle before, so many people know him!”
Su Wen’s mind raced. He knew that he was in big trouble!
With several high-ranking experts present and over 100 Star Rank martialists, it was absolutely impossible for him and Wu Lie to charge out! “Cult Master, wait!” Su Wen shouted. “I’ll confess!”
Wu Lie was shocked. He had no idea what Su Wen meant.
“I was coerced. This Wu Lie is indeed Wu Kunhu’s son. He said if I didn’t bring him into the Sacred Cult, he would send people to the capital to kill my entire family! I… I was forced!” Su Wen cried.
Wu Lie gritted his teeth and shouted, “Su Daqiang, how dare you betray me?”
He was ready to risk everything. One dying was better than both!
This sudden change stunned everyone. Su Wen cried, “Cult Master, I wanted to wait until I entered the sect and have you as my backer before secretly reporting this fellow. I didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly. I really didn’t want to betray the sacred cult.” Hong Sanqian looked at the two of them and twisted his fingers. He asked coldly, “Wu Lie, why did you infiltrate our sect!”
Wu Lie said coldly, “Since His Majesty has ordered us to exterminate all of you, I naturally have to serve His Majesty.”
“Haha, since you dare to infiltrate my sect, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Men, turn this fellow into a human stick as a warning to others!”
Wu Lie’s expression changed drastically!
At this moment, Su Wen shouted, “Wait!”
Hong Sanqian’s body was filled with killing intent as he said, “And you, brat, I won’t let you off today as well. To dare betray the cult, I’ll make you feel the pain of a thousand cuts!” “Master, you can kill me, but please let me finish!” Su Wen called out to his master and explained, “Master, this Wu Lie’s father is Wu Kunhu, and he is currently leading troops in the Li Prefecture to fight. If you kill him, Wu Kunhu will definitely retaliate crazily! When that time comes, what benefits will it bring to our Moon Worship Sect? In my opinion, why don’t you control Wu Lie and secretly contact Wu Kunhu to let him attack the other sects? His own son is in your hands, so he will obediently follow your orders.
When he is almost done killing, you can release Wu Lie and our Moon Worship Sect can go into hiding. Firstly, Wu Lie is not injured, and secondly, Wu Kunhu would have killed many people under our control. If he spreads this matter, he will also make a fool of himself. He can only swallow this bitter fruit and wait until he leaves the Li Prefecture. By then, wouldn’t the Li Prefecture be our sect’s playing ground?”
