Chapter 40: Li Daoran’s Revenge Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“How many times have I told you? If you can beat them, then fight. If you can’t, then run. But what did you guys end up doing? You couldn’t beat them, but you still stayed to fight. Do you really think you’re hot shots? Do you all think you’re all unkillable cockroaches? If you guys were really hot shots, you wouldn’t have been humiliated and ended up as my disciples.”

Lu Xiaoran was furious.

Fortunately, he arrived in time when the few White Bone Elders attacked. Otherwise, the three of them would have been severely injured even if they did manage to survive.

He only wanted them to train and stall for time. However, these disciples were stubborn and insisted on fighting with their lives on the line.

Why couldn’t they just listen to him?

The three of them lay on the long bench obediently and let their master whip them.

Lu Xiaoran gave Yun Lige and Fang Tianyuan a beating before finally getting to Ji Wuxia.

However, it had to be said that men and women were indeed different.

When he whipped Yun Lige and Fang Tianyuan, it was as if he was whipping rocks. Their flesh was extremely hard.

As for Ji Wuxia, his whip would bounce back every time he whipped her. It was as if he was whipping a bouncy ball.

This made Lu Xiaoran unable to help but whip her a few more times.

“Ah!”

Ji Wuxia was in so much pain that tears fell. She could not help but scream before Lu Xiaoran stopped.

He threw away the whip and said angrily, “The three of you are not allowed to cultivate today. Copy the rules of Zhishui Peak ten thousand times for me. If you don’t finish this task, don’t call me master anymore.”

The three of them looked at Lu Xiaoran pitifully like children that had done something wrong.

“Master, we’re really sorry. We won’t dare to mess around again.”

“Save me your nonsense. I can’t be bothered to listen to promises. That thing is the most unreliable. All of you, stay in the study and copy the rules. If you can’t finish copying, don’t leave.”

With that said, Lu Xiaoran threw a bottle of medicinal pills to the few of them.

“This is an Essence Nurturing Pill used for healing injuries. Each of you should eat a few first. It can help you recover from your injuries. Don’t leave behind any ailments. I really can’t stand you guys.”

He shook his head, clasped his hands behind his back, and strode from his house, looking disappointed.

He still had to redesign the array formation on Zhishui Peak.

As for Yun Lige and the other two, their hearts could not help but warm up as they looked at the medicinal pill.

Lu Xiaoran had beaten them up because he was strict with them. However, after beating them, he did not forget to give them medicinal pills to treat their injuries.

It seemed that their master really did care about them.

“Finish eating the medicinal pills and copy the rules!”

Yun Lige was the first to swallow the medicinal pill. Then, he immediately began to copy.

Ji Wuxia was second, and Fang Tianyuan was third. The three of them all started copying.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoran had already arrived at the foot of Zhishui Peak and began to set up an array formation.

“I’ll use a scanning array formation for the outermost layer. Once there’s anyone that tries to trespass, I’ll be the first to discover them. After all, most of the time, the people who come to Zhishui Peak are from the Heaven Demon Sect. After all, rarely do outsiders barge in.”

“I’ll set up an attack formation in the second layer. In this way, if I discover anyone, I can directly control the attack from afar.”

After setting up these two layers of array formations one by one, Lu Xiaoran finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Most importantly, the Eight Trigrams Sky Sealing Formation could be activated at any time. All of this was more than enough to ensure the safety of Zhishui Peak.

Previously, in order to prevent his real strength from being discovered by the sect, he had closed the Eight Trigrams Sky Sealing Formation. However, he had since been taken advantage of. Now, Lu Xiaoran was also jittery and anxious.

Currently, he had long-range control over all the array formations. As long as he discovered someone, he could activate the attack formation instantly. This could also be considered a way for him to ensure his safety.

Just as he finished, Lu Xiaoran wiped the sweat from his forehead. A disciple from the foot of the mountain shouted.

“Elder Lu, Elder Lu, the sect master has ordered all the elders to gather in the main hall of the sect.”

“Got it.”

Lu Xiaoran threw a bottle of Small Qi Gathering Pill to the other party, took a step, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot.

Actually, although the other elders had not arrived, Lu Xiaoran had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was definitely related to the destruction of the White Bone Demon Sect.

After all, this matter was too big. Moreover, the White Bone Demon Sect was so close to the Heaven Demon Sect, so it was impossible for the Heaven Demon Sect to not take this matter seriously.

Soon, he arrived at the sect hall. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the hall, Lu Xiaoran saw Li Daoran. This guy had only been working for a few days, but his skin had become much darker. It was as if he had been sunbathing for more than half a year by the sea. There was even an obvious black and white line below his neck.

“Xiaoran, sob… I miss you so much.”

“What?! What happened to you?”

Lu Xiaoran was shocked.

Li Daoran said with a sad expression, “Don’t even mention it. After Elder Huang’s blind date was ruined, he vented all of his anger on me. Good heavens, that old bastard trained me day and night and forced me to work non-stop. After only working for a few days, I almost died of exhaustion.”

“Um… then why are you out here again?”

“I heard that something big happened to the White Bone Demon Sect. The sect dispelled the punishment of all the elders and is gathering everyone in the sect’s hall for a meeting. I’m the only elder that’s currently being punished, so they let me off.”

“Uh… that’s good.”

“What’s good about it? My delicate skin is gone forever. Xiaoran, you have a lot of ideas. Help me think of a way. If I don’t take revenge, I will lose all my dignity as a human.”

Li Daoran clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The anger in his eyes was about to erupt.

Lu Xiaoran touched his nose.

“I really don’t have any good ideas on this matter. After all, you also know that Elder Huang’s cultivation is already at the tenth level of the Spirit Realm. He’s more powerful than both of us and we can’t beat him at all. Unless we find someone who’s stronger than him and is willing to help you deal with him.”

“Some stronger than Elder Huang? And he has to be willing to help me deal with him?”

Li Daoran lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he immediately gave Lu Xiaoran a thumbs up.

“Impressive! Really impressive! As expected of Xiaoran, you’re really smart. You directly thought of getting someone else to do my dirty work for me. I have a plan, hehehe…”

“Really? What’s your plan?”

Lu Xiaoran was somewhat curious. Li Daoran placed his hands behind his back and smiled sinisterly. “Heaven’s secrets can’t be leaked. However, just wait for my good news. Hahahaha… this time, if I don’t let that old bastard Huang enjoy the “best” treatment, I’ll take his surname.”

With that said, Li Daoran strode into the hall.

Lu Xiaoran shook his head.

“I don’t know what’s going on with this guy, but I think it’s probably not a good thing. I hope he doesn’t get into more trouble.”

With that said, he also walked in.

In the hall, the atmosphere was solemn to the extreme. Although it was very quiet, many elders in the crowd were secretly transmitting messages. Their expressions were varied, but most of them were very solemn.

When Lu Xiaoran arrived, the Sect Master immediately said, “Xiaoran, you’re here. Hurry and take a seat.”

“Yes, thank you, Sect Master.”

There was another benefit to becoming a member of the Elder Group. In the hall, an elder from the Elder Group could have their own seat and did not have to stand like the other elders.
