Chapter 132 The Elder Who Can Be Bending and Stretching
"Li Wen, humph, the Third Elder and I have a small matter today that we need your help with."
Don't be ungrateful. If you dare to make any excuses to refuse, don't blame us for being impolite. You'd better agree quickly.
The elder snorted heavily through his nose, his imperious manner practically written all over his face.
The Third Elder stood to the side, arms crossed, his face full of self-righteousness, as if Li Wen helping them was a matter of course.
The arrogant attitude displayed by these two people surprised Li Wen.
He couldn't help but think to himself: What, wasn't the lesson he learned before enough?
How dare you still act tough in front of me?
Li Wen's lips curled into a mocking smile. Without saying a word, he simply snorted coldly and strode away.
Turning around, Li Wen took out his magical artifact and contacted Chen Wan'er, briefly explaining the situation.
"Hey, Li Wen, if I hadn't sent you out back then, how could you have gained recognition in front of the sect leader so quickly?"
"It's such a small thing, and you won't even help?"
Seeing that Li Wen left so decisively, the Third Elder became anxious and quickly sent a telepathic message to him.
He tried to morally blackmail Li Wen with this so-called "gratitude," his tone tinged with exasperation.
But just as the Third Elder sent out his message, before Li Wen could reply, a new wave of poisoning struck first.
This time, the poison was much stronger than before. The two of them didn't even have time to use their internal energy to resist, and they instantly collapsed to the ground.
He coughed up large amounts of blood from the corners of his mouth, his limbs convulsed uncontrollably, and his whole body was as stiff as two stones.
Someone hurriedly reported this scene to Li Wen. Li Wen stood there, smiled coldly, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates:
“Go, carry them to my courtyard first. I’ll go over and take a look at them later, and have a good chat with the Third Elder about his ‘kindness’.”
When Li Wen leisurely returned to his own courtyard, the First Elder and the Third Elder still looked miserable.
He could not speak, and his body could not move.
"Oh, aren't these the First Elder and the Third Elder?"
Just a moment ago they were acting all arrogant and aggressive, what happened?
Did I perhaps offend someone I shouldn't have? Or did I accidentally block their way?
As soon as Li Wen entered the courtyard, he started talking loudly, his deliberately drawn-out tone full of mockery and sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, the First Elder and the Third Elder understood immediately that they had thoroughly provoked Li Wen.
But what does "blocking the way" mean? Does Li Wen want to take over the Blood Demon Sect?
But he's only at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, still a long way from the Nascent Soul stage!
Having finally recovered, the Grand Elder laboriously opened his mouth and looked at Li Wen, his eyes filled with wariness:
"What...what do you want? Do you want to replace the sect leader?"
Li Wen gave a cold smile and spoke slowly:
"Elder, please don't slander me! It was clearly the sect leader who intended to pass the position to me, how can you say that I wanted to replace him?"
"You're talking nonsense! When did the sect leader ever say such a thing? I have no idea about it at all!"
The elder stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, his voice becoming shrill with excitement.
"What's the rush! The sect leader will announce this to everyone in the Blood Demon Sect when the time comes."
Li Wen crossed his arms, looking completely confident.
Upon hearing this, the First Elder and the Third Elder were so excited that their faces turned red.
"Impossible! Why would the sect leader pass the position to you? If anyone should pass it on, it should be to one of us elders. You're just an ordinary disciple!"
The Third Elder, having mustered all his strength, roared loudly.
"Third Elder, I don't believe it either, but you two are both poisoned and I'm afraid you won't live past tonight."
"What, now you two are so interested in the position of sect leader that you're willing to risk your lives?"
Li Wen's smile grew increasingly mocking, his eyes revealing a shrewdness that seemed to see through everything.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood.
Today's events are clearly a trap, and Chen Wan'er must have been someone Li Wen hired.
This is a threat, a blatant threat!
"Li Wen, no, Sect Leader Li, as long as you spare my life, I will agree to anything you ask."
The elder could no longer bear it and, disregarding all pride, immediately began to beg in a humble and subservient manner.
Seeing the First Elder's spineless appearance, the Third Elder looked disdainful and curled his lip:
"Elder, where is your backbone? How could you beg him? You are the Elder!"
"So what if he's the Grand Elder? Without his life, he's nothing. You're so high and mighty, so just tough it out!"
The Grand Elder also got anxious and retorted.
Seeing the Grand Elder's submissive attitude, Li Wen couldn't be more satisfied.
"Elder, you are the one who knows when to back down."
I could spare your life, but only after I become the sect leader.
"But don't worry, taking this pill will temporarily keep your life safe."
As he spoke, Li Wen took out a pill from his pocket and tossed it gently.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder, as if grasping at a lifeline, snatched the pill and hurriedly fed it to himself.
Just as the First Elder took the pill, the Third Elder was visibly suffering from a new round of poisoning, writhing on the ground in agony, while the First Elder remained unharmed.
This scene terrified the Grand Elder, but fortunately he turned back in time.
"Sect Leader Li, from now on I will be at your beck and call. I will do anything for you, even at the cost of my life."
The elder hurriedly pledged his loyalty, his voice still trembling with the shock of surviving a disaster.
At this moment, Li Wen looked down at the Third Elder, who was writhing in pain on the ground, but his face showed a look of deep gratitude.
He slowly began to speak, "Third Elder, speaking of which, I really have to thank you properly."
Look, if it weren't for your 'care' back then, how would I have had the opportunity to get to know my wise and powerful master now?
I, Li Wenke, will always remember this kindness.
To repay you, rest assured, I will ensure you die a worthy death, so that your 'painstaking efforts' will not have been in vain.
The Third Elder stared wide-eyed at Li Wen in utter terror.
His throat made a gurgling sound, but due to the corrosive effects of the poison, he couldn't utter a single complete word and could only struggle in vain.
"Don't worry, Third Elder, please be patient for a few more days."
Li Wen leaned down slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
He whispered close to the Third Elder's ear, "It will be in the next few days. I will definitely arrange a dignified death for you."
May you depart in a spectacular fashion, and the entire clan will remember your 'heroism'.
As for the poison, you'll just have to endure it slowly; consider it a small price to pay for your previous actions.
After saying this, Li Wenzhi stood up, dusted off the corner of his clothes, turned around and strode away, his back view revealing undisguised smugness.
Before long, several subordinates rushed over and dragged the Third Elder away like a dead dog.
"Sect Leader Li," the Grand Elder said, stepping forward hastily with a fawning smile on his face.
"Is there anything I can do for you these past few days?"
Please give your instructions, and I will do my utmost to handle them properly.
Li Wen glanced at him, a half-smile playing on his lips:
"Elder, I know in my heart that although you are saying nice things, you are probably still somewhat dissatisfied in your heart, aren't you?"
The Grand Elder seemed to have been touched on a sore spot; his body trembled slightly, but his smile grew even brighter as he quickly waved his hand and said:
"Sect Master, what are you saying? You're joking."
Now you are undoubtedly the number one person in our Blood Demon Sect. Who else is worthy of the position of sect leader besides you?
Your subordinates are completely convinced of your abilities and have no objections whatsoever.
Li Wen's lips curled into a faint smile, and he waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, you can go now."
After the Grand Elder obsequiously withdrew, Li Wen immediately dropped his lazy demeanor.
His eyes narrowed, and he gave his subordinates a deep order:
"Have someone keep a close eye on him. If he makes the slightest move, report to me immediately. There can be no mistakes. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sect Master!" the subordinates replied in unison, and left to carry out their orders.
