Li Zijie

It all happened very suddenly, catching the Five Peaks Sect completely off guard. By the time the sect leader and elders of the Five Peaks Sect reacted, people from the Fengxi Sect had already charged into the sect's interior.

The sect leader of the Five Peaks Sect shouted loudly: "Insolent!" He struck out with his palm, and the various elders also attacked at the same time. Disciples of the Fengxi Sect at the Yuan Ying stage also went to meet them head-on.

When the senior sister charged straight at the Five Peaks Sect's sect leader, Tang Xiaoyu made his move.

"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals; at least give your opponent a minimum of respect," Tang Xiaoyu said righteously.

In fact, he simply didn't want to waste time and wanted to finish things quickly. How could someone who had just stepped into the Soul Union Stage possibly be Tang Xiaoyu's opponent? Even if their realms were equal, they still wouldn't be able to match him.

The one-sided battle was utterly devoid of suspense. The most interesting part was on the disciples' side.

Some of the Fengxi Sect disciples charged towards the outer sect while others invaded the inner sect. When they encountered female disciples, the Fengxi Sect's male disciples were still rather chivalrous, mainly just capturing them alive.

The Five Peaks Sect's male disciples were not so fortunate.

In the inner sect disciples' living quarters, several of the Five Peaks Sect's male disciples encountered the Fengxi Sect's female disciples.

"Oh my, it's several beauties. Junior brothers, go easy on them and don't hurt the beauties."

The female disciples couldn't be bothered to retort against these shameless people at this point in time. Even in a situation like this they still didn't forget to taunt and harass others.

People taught by Elder Tang didn't like wasting words; of course there were exceptions.

The female disciples didn't have time to listen to their nonsense. They drew their swords and hacked away; even stabbing them was showing them too much consideration.

It was evident that the few Five Peaks Sect male disciples were no match at all. They started resorting to rogue tactics, spouting filthy and vulgar words without end.

Originally thinking that resorting to some rogue tricks would allow them to kill their opponents easily, they never expected their opponents to be even bigger rogues than them, even more ruthless.

In but a moment, the few Five Peaks Sect male disciples were clutching their privates as their bodies curled up like shrimp, writhing on the ground in agony.

"Trying to take liberties with us? Do you even know how eunuchs are created?" one female disciple said in disdain.

"It's a good thing Elder Tang taught us in the past, otherwise we would have definitely suffered losses today."

"What Elder Tang, he's the Sect Leader now!"

"Oh right, right!"

"What should we do now? Kill them or take them back?"

"Let's kill them!"

"The Sect Leader said not to kill those who surrender."

Still enduring the pain on the ground, those few quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy. "We surrender, spare our lives please!"

The females said in disdain, "A bunch of useless trash."

To prevent those people from plotting something sly, each of them was force-fed a temporary power-restricting pellet.

Li Zijie brought along several senior brothers to surround a group of Five Peaks Sect's female disciples in a room.

Li Zijie was infamously stupid. With a lewd smile he said, "Don't put up a pointless resistance, surrender obediently and I'll be more gentle."

The female standing right at the front looked extremely determined, her eyes full of indignance. "Don't even think about it. Even in death, we will not allow you to humiliate us!"

Li Zijie's smile froze as he looked to the senior brother beside him. "Senior brother, do I really look like a pervert?"

The few senior brothers nodded in unison. "You don't just look like one, you actually are one! Especially with that lewd smile of yours, even beasts wouldn't be able to smile like that."

Li Zijie angrily pointed at those female disciples. "Don't spout nonsense and smear my reputation! I'm a grown man in his prime, how could I possibly lose my chastity to the likes of you?!"

The angrier he got, the louder he yelled. "I wanted you to surrender, not for me to assault you! Are we clear?! Are we clear?!"

"I'm so pissed off! So darn pissed!"

One senior brother came out to pacify him. "Junior brother, there's no need to get so worked up. We should hurry and complete Sect Leader's orders!"

He then looked towards the female disciples again. "You have two paths - death, or surrender."

Just as the lead female looked like she wanted to reject it, the senior brother continued speaking. "Our Sect Leader often says, live on if you know what's good for you. Meaningless sacrifice is not worthwhile. Look at these girls under 20 behind you."

"Are you really willing to let their youth end just like this?"

The leading female looked back at the pairs of clear eyes filled with fear and yearning for life.

Turning back around, she tossed her sword onto the floor. "We surrender, I only hope that you will treat these junior sisters of mine well."

Li Zijie still felt a bit unhappy. "We aren't sadists or the violent type alright, do you understand?"

"I trust them, but not you..."

Li Zijie was about to go crazy. 【Calm down, stay calm. The Sect Leader did say before, never argue with a woman.】

When these female disciples walked out of the room past Li Zijie, a young teenage girl of 12-13 years old timidly asked him, "Big brother, you really aren't a pervert right?"

Li Zijie completely snapped. "I'm not, I'm not!"

However angry he felt, he still wouldn't attack such a young girl. He immediately hugged a pillar and started banging his head on it.

The senior brothers sighed in collective exasperation. "As expected of someone the Sect Leader calls an idiot. To think he would mutilate himself."

Over at Tang Xiaoyu's side, the battles had already concluded. All who futilely resisted were killed, while those who surrendered were herded onto the plaza.

The Five Peaks Sect's Sect Leader was heavily injured by Tang Xiaoyu but not killed.

As Tang Xiaoyu walked through the living quarters of the Five Peaks Sect's inner sect disciples, he extended his senses around to check for any fish that slipped through the net.

Just as he expected, there were 7 people hiding within a secret chamber in a small courtyard.

Upon entering the small courtyard, nothing seemed particularly special about the place. Stepping into the room concealing people, Tang Xiaoyu noticed an irregularity.

"What an obscure and concealed formation. No wonder they didn't discover people were still hiding here."

It was a formation for hiding auras. The formation was set up ingeniously, covering only the secret chamber and not an inch more or less.

Inside the dark chamber, a female disciple hugged 6 girls of 11 or 12 years old, with her hands covering 2 of the girls' mouths.

Hearing Tang Xiaoyu muttering to himself, the female disciple knew their location was exposed.

Slowly releasing her hold on the young girls, she took out a short sword from her storage ring. Of course, it wasn't an ordinary person's short sword.

The moment Tang Xiaoyu opened the secret chamber's door, the female disciple stabbed her sword straight for his throat.

The female disciple secretly rejoiced. 【Success!】

She was then shocked to find that her short sword couldn't advance an inch further.

With a light flick of Tang Xiaoyu's finger, the short sword snapped cleanly into two halves. The female disciple was also blasted back into the hidden room from his force.

The chamber wasn't large, barely over a meter in width and length. With the several girls already squeezed together inside, when the female disciple sat down she ended up squashing them.

Afraid to the point of crying yet not daring to cry, the girls fearfully stared at Tang Xiaoyu standing by the door.

Tang Xiaoyu awkwardly scratched his nose, looks like he used a bit too much force.

Just then, the female disciple lifted her head to scrutinize the man standing by the door.

The man had average looks with some hint of handsomeness, and a tall, straight figure brimming with vigor.

Looking to be not yet 30 years old, yet his eyes seemed to have experienced endless vicissitudes of life. The corners of his mouth curled up in a faint smile, giving others a warm and gentle impression.

His head of jet-black hair was mixed with a few strands of white. Inserted casually amidst the simple hair bundle was what looked like a very ordinary wooden hairpiece.

Or perhaps that was just a wooden stick instead.

"Are you girls alright?" came the gentle voice, inexplicably making one feel goodwill towards him.

One young girl asked in her crisp voice, "Uncle, are you here to kill us?"
