Chapter 489 Self-mutilation
Chapter 489 Self-mutilation
Monk Kongwu reluctantly put the ring on his hand and asked the elder, "Please tell me where the goodwill is?"
The elder said, "I lied to you earlier - I don't know where the goodwill is."
Monk Kong Wu was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Ah? How could you lie to me?"
The elder smiled and said, "I am not a monk, so what's the big deal about lying?"
Kong Wu was so angry that he could not help but point at the elder and said, "You, you lie like this, you will go to hell where your tongue will be pulled out after you die."
The elder's face turned serious, and he said, "I don't know any Buddha, but as an elder of the Goddess Sect, I have to follow the sect's rules.
I have deceived the Great Elder today, and I am willing to accept the punishment of the Five Elements!"
Monk Kongwu did not believe what the elder said. He stamped his feet and said angrily, "This is too much bullying for a monk. How can you fool around with me like this?"
The Great Elder smiled upon hearing this and said, "This is also the first lesson I taught you, the Great Elder, which is to distinguish right from wrong.
The situation down the mountain is different from that on the mountain. There are many people who are good at flattery and sweet-talking. If you can't tell the truth from the false, you will be taken advantage of by bad people and do bad things with good intentions.
Fortunately, I am not a bad person. "
After saying this, she said to the second elder beside her: "Go get the Five Elements Soul Nail!"
The second elder over there frowned and said, "Sister, why are you so serious?"
The Great Elder frowned and said, "I was just about to tell the disciples of the sect that things are different now than they were in the past. From now on, anyone from the elders down in the sect who disrespects the Great Elder will be treated with no mercy."
She took the five steel nails handed to her by the second elder. The five steel nails were similar in shape, with skulls at the tail and cold light at the head. The only difference was that the five steel nails were different in color.
The great elder took out a red nail from the five steel nails in his left hand, and then dropped it on his left shoulder.
In theory, ordinary magic weapons cannot harm those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage.
But it was the Great Elder herself who did it, and the soul nail pierced through her skin without any hindrance. The eyes of the skull at the end of the soul nail began to turn red, and red veins appeared on the skull as the soul nail absorbed the Great Elder's blood.
The elder groaned in pain, and flames burst out from her pores. Fortunately, her clothes were not ordinary, otherwise she would have been exposed under the raging fire.
"Donor, why do you have to do this? I don't mean to blame you!"
Monk Kongwu, who had originally blamed the Great Elder for deceiving him, now became worried about the Great Elder.
He didn't know the function of the soul nail, but he knew that the Great Elder must be in great pain at this moment.
The great elder smiled and said, "Master, have you calmed down now? Are you willing to be the great elder of our Goddess Sect?"
Kong Wu certainly didn't want to do that - but he had already made a solemn vow before the Buddha and there was no way back.
He was anxious to get the elder to stop, so he nodded quickly: "I am willing, I am willing, please don't hurt yourself anymore."
The Great Elder did not pull out the red soul nail, but took out the yellow soul nail instead: "Thank you for your mercy, Great Elder - but according to the sect rules, how can I not set an example myself?"
The second yellow soul nail pierced into her knee, and the skull at the tail of the yellow soul nail instantly began to produce yellow blood.
The flames on the elder's body went out with a "puff" sound. It turned out that a lot of dust was sprayed out from her pores.
"With the five elements of soul nails falling all at once, even a Nascent Soul expert would be in danger of falling back to a lower realm." Elder Mei had not spoken from beginning to end. Only then did he whisper to Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu, "It seems that the Great Elder is determined to tie Kong Wu to the Goddess Sect."
Tian Lin nodded and said, "After what happened, how can Master Kong Wufa have the nerve to ask to quit the Goddess Sect? Master Kong Wufa came to Nanzhou to save us. To be honest, what happened to him today was all caused by me."
Elder Mei said, "If you're not here, there will be someone else - a person with an empty personality is not suitable for this world! If you think about it carefully, it's not all bad for him to be bound by the Great Elder. With the Great Elder's help, he won't be deceived."
Tian Lin nodded, agreeing with what Elder Mei said.
Only Wang Yanyu, who was behind the three people, wanted to curse at this moment.
She had already planned to keep Monk Kongwu for another year, and it would be best if she could lock him up by her side for life. This way, she would have a bodyguard for free!
But the plan was only halfway implemented when it was intercepted by the Grand Elder of the Goddess Sect.
But she is weak and cannot compete with others, and she still has to act magnanimous.
The great elder was being tortured over there, but Mei Xiangu didn't want to watch any longer.
Her eyes were already looking at the crowd below——
Several Nascent Soul elders of the Xin Tian Sect were either killed or fled, and all the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators scattered like birds and beasts.
Only a group of mortals remained there - not because they were so brave that they were not afraid of being punished by the Goddess Sect, but because they were too weak to escape.
Over the past few days, these people have become skinny and pale from hunger. Some of them have even started eating their own children.
In fact, death is more like a relief for them, which is better than constantly fleeing and suffering from hunger and cold.
"These people have no strength but ambition. They don't even think about the fact that those cultivators are taking them with them. Do they think it's a waste of food to feed them?"
Tian Lin saw the murderous intent in Mei Xiangu's eyes, and said, "Now that Master Kong Wufa is in charge of the Goddess Sect, the lives of these people will also be decided by Master Kong Wufa."
"It is precisely because Monk Kongwu is the one who made the decision that I am somewhat dissatisfied. I guess that not only will these people not die, but they will be treated kindly by Monk Kongwu."
It seemed that her words were followed by the law. After the Great Elder fainted from the torture, the Second Elder asked Kong Wudao: "The leaders of the New Heaven Sect have already fled. What should we do with the remaining remnants? Please give us your instructions, Great Elder!"
Kong Wu was not good at making decisions, so he asked her, "What do you think should be done, lady donor?"
The second elder's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "Since the founding of the Goddess Sect, no one has ever dared to offend our sect. If these people don't die, where is the dignity of the sect?"
When he heard that these ordinary people were going to be killed, Kong Wu said quickly: "God has the virtue of loving life, how can he commit the sin of killing so easily?"
The second elder frowned and asked Monk Kongwu, "What do you think, Master?"
Monk Kongwu looked around and thought for a moment before saying, "I see they are pale and thin with dull eyes. I guess they have been hungry for a long time." After saying that, he turned around and asked the second elder, "Does the sect have any food? Let's cook some porridge and let these people have a full meal first."
The Second Elder looked at Monk Kong Wu in disbelief and said, "These people invaded our sect, and now, Great Elder, not only do you not kill them, but you also want us to provide food to feed them? Do you know how precious food is nowadays?"
Master Kong Wufa said, "After saving so many lives, the Buddha will know and will surely bless you. Elder, don't worry."
The second elder laughed in anger. Her Goddess Sect did not believe in Buddha.
