After Rebirth, I Quit the Sect—Senior and Junior Sisters Regret It Bitterly! - Chapter 97:

Chapter 97: Even If You Smash Your Heads, You Won’t Escape Death!

A thought flashed through Elder Xu’s mind.

He struck swiftly, his five fingers forming a claw-like grip, sending a powerful gust of wind toward them.

“Junior Sister, watch out!”

Wen Keyao urgently warned.

Chi Lingxiao sneered, casually flicking her hand, releasing a cloud of fine powder into the air.

Elder Xu was caught off guard, instantly losing his balance, hurriedly waving his sleeves to clear the smoke.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

“You little brat, you dare use tricks on me?!”

“Just watch how I—”

Before he could finish speaking, Elder Xu’s face turned blue, and he suddenly found himself struggling to breathe.

Meanwhile, Chi Lingxiao stood there completely unharmed, her expression as cold as ice.

“W-What is this?!”

The elder who had rushed out of the room turned pale with fear, his voice trembling.

“Hmph! Today, you will have the pleasure of experiencing—the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect’s Alchemy Hall’s Soul-Severing Powder!”

Chi Lingxiao’s voice was calm, but each word sent chills down their spines.

Hearing this, Elder Xu froze, and then suddenly fell to his knees.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

He started frantically kowtowing, his face filled with terror.

His mouth opened wide, but no sound came out.

Seeing Elder Xu’s reaction, the other elder immediately followed suit, also dropping to his knees!

“Mercy! Please, Hall Master, spare us!”

“Oh? So now you’re not calling me a little brat anymore?”

“Now you finally recognize my true identity?”

Chi Lingxiao’s eyes narrowed, her face filled with icy contempt.

These cowards disgusted her!

When they thought they could benefit from the sect, they swarmed in like flies.

Now that danger was looming, they were ready to betray the sect without hesitation!

When facing someone weaker, they acted high and mighty.

But the moment they realized they were outmatched, they immediately begged for their lives.

Such people were a waste of space!

“Today, even if you smash your heads to pieces, you won’t escape death!”

Chi Lingxiao raised her hand, preparing to strike Elder Xu’s head with a lethal blow.

“Junior Sister, wait! These two are still useful!”

Hearing Wen Keyao’s words, Chi Lingxiao suddenly realized she had almost acted too rashly.

They had gone through all this trouble to catch these traitors alive.

If she killed them in a moment of anger, how would they present proof to their master?

Wouldn’t that make everything they did pointless?

“Mercy! Please spare us!”

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the other elder continued to plead.

Chi Lingxiao took out a small white bottle from her waist and tossed it onto the ground.

“You get to live for a few more hours!”

“But only take one each—don’t you dare take more!”

Elder Xu, still on his knees, scrambled to grab the bottle.

Using all his strength, he managed to swallow one pill.

The other elder also quickly took his share.

By the time they had regained some composure, a crowd of disciples had gathered around.

They exchanged confused glances, not understanding what had just happened.

The two elders turned red with embarrassment, wishing they could crawl into a hole and disappear.

Elder Xu, especially, was overwhelmed with regret.

They say plans never keep up with changes.

Today, he had experienced that firsthand.

He had planned to escape unnoticed, but of all people to run into, it had to be Chi Lingxiao!

If it weren’t for her mentioning the Soul-Severing Powder, he might have never realized who she was in time.

After all, she was the only person in the entire Mystic Spirit Holy Sect who possessed it!

Elder Xu sighed in despair, his brows furrowing into deep wrinkles.

“What’s going on? What happened to the two elders?”

“No idea. They’ve been acting strange lately. It’s hard to figure them out.”

“Why do they look so afraid? Could it be… the demonic cave has stirred again?!”

“Maybe the Sect Master gave new orders—are we all supposed to leave the sect?”

“…?”

The disciples whispered among themselves, disbelief evident in their expressions.

Seeing how the rumors were spiraling out of control, Chi Lingxiao shouted angrily.

“Silence! Anyone who spreads baseless rumors will be punished according to sect rules!”

“The demonic cave in Yuling Mountain has already been sealed by the Sect Master! If I hear one more word of nonsense, I’ll deal with you personally!”

“You may be outer sect disciples, but you are still part of the sect. Focus on preparing for the Chongyang Grand Competition!”

The moment Chi Lingxiao finished speaking, Elder Xu immediately echoed her words.

“Yes! We will follow Hall Master Chi’s orders!”

Hall Master Chi?

Chi Lingxiao?

The gathered disciples were stunned.

Then, as realization dawned, they dropped to their knees in submission.

Chi Lingxiao and Wen Keyao exchanged glances.

Without wasting any time, they grabbed the two elders and headed straight for the Sect Master’s hall.

At this point, they had no interest in dealing with the outer sect disciples anymore.

The sect was already in chaos.

Right now, the only priority was the bigger picture—

Who had time to bother with small fry?

…

After half a cup of tea’s time, they finally arrived.

With two elders bound tightly, Chi Lingxiao and Wen Keyao presented them to Yu Yanxue.

Seeing the two elders tied up like criminals, Yu Yanxue frowned in confusion.

“What’s going on?”

Chi Lingxiao straightened her back, her tone filled with rage.

“Master! These two are Elder Xu and Elder Zhou from the outer sect!”

“They conspired to flee the sect, and we caught them in the act!”

“They spread lies, saying the demonic cave cannot be guarded anymore, that the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect is doomed!”

“They even claimed that without Lu Chen, everyone would become food for the demons!”

Chi Lingxiao was about to say more, but—

Yu Yanxue suddenly slammed the table and stood up in fury!

The two elders were so terrified they nearly fainted.

Originally kneeling, they collapsed onto the floor in sheer terror.

“Mercy, Sect Master!”

“This wasn’t our idea—everyone in the sect is saying this!”

“If Lu Chen doesn’t return, we really won’t be able to hold the demonic cave!”

“Everyone is worried—”

Yu Yanxue’s expression darkened.

Her voice was cold and sharp.

“Worried about what?”

Elder Xu trembled violently, then closed his eyes in despair.

“Reporting to the Sect Master… everyone is worried that the sect will fall!”

The moment these words were spoken—

A powerful burst of energy erupted in the hall!

BOOM!

A massive blood-colored mist exploded in the air.

When the smoke cleared—

Elder Xu was nothing more than a pile of flesh and shattered bones!

The entire hall was filled with the sickening stench of blood.

Elder Zhou turned pale as a sheet, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Even Chi Lingxiao and Wen Keyao held their breath, afraid to make a sound.

The Sect Master was furious.

It was the first time she had executed an elder right in the Sect Master’s hall!

Chi Lingxiao, despite her fear, felt Elder Xu had deserved it.

Even if the situation was bad, how could he say those words in front of the Sect Master?!

That was practically asking to be executed!

He got what he deserved.
