Chapter 184 I Have Shed Blood for the Sect
Lei Shiye was radiant, rolled up his sleeves, pulled over a chair, placed one foot on it, acting cocky and streetwise, and stared at Headmaster Ji with a sneer.
"Old Ji, let's settle the score..."
"I am your master! Who are you calling 'brother'?"
"Bah, I've never seen such a heartless master like you!"
Lei Shiye was furious, eyes filled with tears, and full of grievances. He pointed to the roof and began his accusations.
"Think about it, five years ago, when I had just joined the sect, we faced a demonic invasion.
It was me! I fought bravely and resisted tenaciously. With my mere Jiedan (Core Formation) cultivation, I managed to hold back a Resentful Demon Realm expert from the enemy. That was a Resentful Demon, a Yuanshen (Primordial Spirit) Realm expert! To prevent him from harming others, I, along with my Xiaoyu, held him back in the great formation, reducing a vital combat force for the enemy and protecting countless lives."
"That's because you two were trapped inside, you had no choice but to fight..."
"It was me! For the honor of the sect, I went to my death generously and was caught in the spatial turbulence. For this, the sect even received the title of a martyr! Everyone knows that the Yin Yang Sect has a disciple who sacrificed himself heroically!
This made the reputation of my Yin Yang Sect soar to the sky, even more magnificent and grand."
"The title of honor was given to you, not the sect..."
"It was me! After surviving the spatial turbulence by luck, I heard that my Yin Yang Sect disciples were going through life-and-death trials in the Mu Xian Secret Realm. So, without returning home or informing anyone, I entered the secret realm without hesitation. I overcame countless obstacles and hardships along the way to rescue my Yin Yang Sect disciples."
"You just happened to pass by..."
"It was me! In the secret realm, to obtain supernatural powers for the sect, I fearlessly entered the boundless darkness and experienced the unimaginable horrors that countless people would not dare to face, and only then did I manage to survive."
"But you didn't bring anything back..."
"It was me! After returning to the sect, I heard that the sect was going to crusade against the rebels, so I joined the army without hesitation and embarked on that uncertain journey of life and death.
It was me! Who came up with the idea to appear unexpectedly at the Feng family and wipe them out in one fell swoop!
"You did that to earn merit and rewards..."
"It was me! Who went alone to chase after the Yuanshen Realm expert of the enemy, and with the meager power of a Yuanying (Nascent Soul), fought to the death with the terrifying Feng Qu, narrowly escaping death and defeating him, beheading his head, so that none of the enemies escaped!
It was me! After the entire army had withdrawn, I stayed alone in the Feng family ruins, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, carefully hiding myself, and under the eyes of a Da Cheng (Great Ascension) stage expert and five Yuanshen upper-stage experts, walked on a steel wire on the cliff, risking my life to obtain top-secret information for the sect!"
"This..."
Headmaster Ji's voice became increasingly guilty.
If what he said before was just Wan Lei talking nonsense, then what he said later was all true.
He really deserved the first credit.
Lei Shiye's eyes were filled with tears, stubbornly refusing to let them fall, his lips trembled slightly, and he was heartbroken.
"I have shed blood for the sect, I have risked my life for the sect, yet such a heroic disciple is to be sent away with some trashy gold and silver.
I ask you, is this the way my Yin Yang Sect rewards and punishes?
Is this how you treat a disciple who risked his life for the sect?
Is the person who suggested giving me gold and silver even human?!!!"
Several elders lowered their heads, not out of shame, but because they felt it was too embarrassing to be unable to retort to a disciple.
Headmaster Ji looked left and right, as if trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
In Wan Lei's mouth, he was no longer a human being. If Wan Lei continued to speak, he would be worse than an animal.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Adding the million spiritual stones from the Wan Jiao Ranking, that's two million for you in total, is that okay?"
"I have shed blood for the sect!"
"Three million!"
"I have risked my life for the sect."
"Four million! No more."
"I have..."
"Someone, expel Wan Lei from the sect!"
"No, no, no, four million is enough, enough."
Lei Shiye immediately agreed, nodding very quickly.
"Oh, you don't want any more?"
"No more, no more, four million is enough."
"Then alright, Elder Qu, take Wan Lei to the treasury to collect the rewards."
Headmaster Ji looked at an elder and nodded.
"Wait a moment, Headmaster."
Lei Shiye still had something to say.
"What did you call me?"
"Master, ah."
"Didn't you just call me Headmaster?"
"Where? You must have misheard. Well, I wanted to ask, what are you going to do about the Huojia (Fire Family) colluding with the six families to slaughter mortals and refine them into elixirs?"
Lei Shiye still didn't forget to pin the blame on the Huojia (Fire Family). He could see that the Yin Yang Sect was planning to use this matter to blackmail the Huojia (Fire Family) for more benefits.
Bah, the greedy face of a villain, I, Wan Lei, am ashamed to be associated with you.
"What do you think we should do?"
"Of course, make it public and let the whole world see the ugly face of the Huojia (Fire Family)."
"And then?"
"And then? What then?"
"What should we do then?"
"I..."
"You're too naive."
Headmaster Ji looked at Wan Lei and smiled.
