Chapter 31 Kill! (Please read on as a trial run)
"Fifth Elder, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Ming spoke, his true essence surging within him, yet he remained unmoved under the oppressive force!
"Hmph!" The Fifth Elder snorted coldly, completely ignoring Ye Ming.
He walked directly to the main seat in the reception room, his aura surging out once more, with layers of pressure bursting forth as if they were tangible!
This sudden increase in pressure directly broke through Ye Ming's defenses and pressed down on him, as if it would crush him completely!
With a soft "pfft," Ye Ming felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
He struggled to steady himself, and even though his legs were trembling, his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on the Fifth Elder.
Old man, you're using this trick, aren't you?
At this moment, he could feel the Fifth Elder's undisguised hostility and his desire to force him to his knees!
With soul power coursing through their bodies and true essence surging, the Gu worms were eager to break free and resist!
However, Ye Ming suppressed the restlessness of the Gu worms in his body and stared intently at the Fifth Elder.
Within the sect, if a disciple lays a hand on an elder, it is a grave offense, and the elder can kill him without any conditions!
His current strength is not enough to contend with a Title Douluo.
"Damn it, old man, I'll remember this grudge!"
"If I survive today, you'll definitely regret it!"
Ye Ming's heart was in turmoil, but he forcibly resisted the pressure and forced a smile, saying, "Fifth Elder, I don't know how I have offended you, please advise."
He maintained a smile on his face, and even though his legs began to tremble and he was covered in cold sweat, his back remained straight.
The Fifth Elder suddenly withdrew his aura and completely ignored Ye Ming's words.
He sat down casually, as if nothing had happened, and chuckled as he said:
"Kid, hand over the stuff! You should be content with your current strength."
"Things?" Ye Ming frowned, his mind racing with thoughts.
What could a Title Douluo possibly want? A soul bone? Or the Thousand-Year Holy Soul Liquid?
Ye Ming subtly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, cupped his hands, and said in a low voice, "Fifth Elder, the Soul Bone was a reward given to me by the Sect Master, and I have now fused with it."
"Furthermore, I have already absorbed all the Thousand-Year Sacred Soul Liquid and cannot produce any more, so I'm afraid I cannot satisfy the elders."
"Hmm?" The Fifth Elder's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly stretched out his big hand and slapped Ye Ming. A huge force came from the air and directly slammed him into a pillar in the corner with a loud bang.
"Are you kidding me? That's not what I want!"
These things have already been exposed to everyone's view and are known to Tang Xiao. If he really takes them, he will definitely get into a lot of trouble.
He snorted coldly, stared at Ye Ming with narrowed eyes, and said:
"Before you turned seventeen, your talent was mediocre; you were just a level nine Soul Warrior! But after reaching level ten, you soared to great heights. Don't you know what you relied on?"
He reached into his robes and pulled out a jade stone the size of a pigeon's egg, gleaming with a green light and radiating an aura of soul power. He tossed it around and sneered:
"This stuff is really good; it can not only increase soul power but also enhance physical fitness."
"You should know where this jade mine is located, right? Tell me!"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll leave here alive today!"
Ye Ming leaned against a pillar, clutching his chest, and mobilized his true energy to heal his internal injuries.
When he saw the jade stone that the Fifth Elder had taken out, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind.
Tang Xiaolong's half of the jade!
Now he finally understood!
"So it was you who betrayed me!" Ye Ming cursed inwardly. "Old bastards, old codgers, none of you will escape!"
Ye Ming's face lit up with realization. He clutched his chest, grimacing as he said, "Fifth Elder, so this is what you're talking about!"
"That's right, I did discover jade deposits in the mines outside! It's thanks to this jade that I've achieved what I have today!"
"If you wanted this, you should have just said so. Why treat me like this?"
"Hmm?" The Fifth Elder frowned and unleashed another palm strike, sending Ye Ming's body crashing into a pillar and breaking it in two!
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things? Hand over the mineral deposits, and I'll spare your life!"
"Damn it!" Ye Ming struggled to his feet, almost unable to resist activating the Gu worms.
However, he then noticed that the Fifth Elder had already unleashed a layer of pressure, enveloping the entire White Tiger Hall.
In other words, no matter how loud the noise is here, no one else will sense it.
Now that Tang Xiao is in seclusion, the other elders and these five elders are working together in harmony.
Don't use your hands!
Ye Ming coughed a few times, took a deep breath, and laughed, "Elder, why would I carry such a treasure on my person?"
"I hid it in the mine outside the village. It's getting late now, how about I retrieve it for the elder tomorrow?"
"After all, leaving the sect at night without permission will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."
Ye Ming's words struck a chord with the Fifth Elder; although he was hot-tempered, he wasn't stupid.
Why share such a treasure with others when you can keep it for yourself?
Isn't he doing this just to swallow these treasures?
As for Ye Ming running away?
The opponent is a powerful Soul Master who can't fly. How could he escape his control?
"You're right, young man! Come to me tomorrow, and I'll go with you!"
The Fifth Elder was hot-tempered and felt that after giving Ye Ming a warning today, Ye Ming would surely be terrified of his Title Douluo strength and would tremble and dare not resist.
He hadn't even considered imprisoning the other party, since Ye Ming's arrival had already exposed him to the sight of the other disciples.
Hearing the Fifth Elder's agreement, Ye Ming rose shakily, bowed respectfully, and said, "This junior will certainly do as the elder says, and will take the elder there tomorrow!"
After he finished speaking, he limped away from the White Tiger Hall.
After leaving the Fifth Elder's courtyard, Ye Ming's previously limping gait returned to normal, and his eyes regained their bloodlust.
Ye Ming did not utter a single word until he returned to his courtyard.
As night deepened, only a few crescent moons hung in the sky, making the sect's interior much less bright.
After finishing his meditation, Ye Ming got out of bed and put the few moonflower plants he had planted in the yard into his system space.
He gazed in the direction of the White Tiger Hall and gave a light sneer.
"I originally had many plans regarding the Haotian Sect, which would gradually erode your power and improve my own abilities."
"But now, I feel that these plans are unnecessary."
"Because I want to kill someone."
Ye Ming murmured softly, "Heaven nourishes all things in man, but man has nothing in return for heaven."
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Stepping out of the courtyard, Ye Ming hid in the darkness, taking advantage of the second-stage Gu worm, the Shadow-Following Gu, to evade several patrols before finally arriving at the inner disciples' courtyard.
He remembered that after Tang Xiaolong won first place among the outer disciples, he was directly promoted to an inner disciple and lived in this courtyard.
Transforming into darkness, Ye Ming silently entered the courtyard.
"Let's collect a little bit of interest tonight..."
