Chapter 938: Let Them Die!

“A-Are you going to kill them?” Sect Master Xiahou asked him in a nervous voice.

“Do you want me to kill them?” Yuan responded with a question.

“Of course not. However, I doubt you even care. After all, they are after your life.”

Yuan smiled and said, “Then how about this? I will give you the chance to talk them out of killing me. If you can do that, I won’t have to kill them.”

“Are you serious?” Sect Master Xiahou looked at him with wide eyes.

“Of course. I am not a bloodthirsty maniac who enjoys killing, even though you probably see me as one. I only shed blood when I have no other choices.”

“Very well. I will do my best to convince them to stand down.” Sect Master Xiahou nodded with a serious expression.

After returning to her room, Sect Master Xiahou contacted the other Sect Masters regarding the matter.

“We have already warned the Universal Music Academy to give up on revenge multiple times, but they refuse to listen to us. If that’s the case, just let them all die.” Sect Master Li said.

“Yuan gave you the chance to talk them out of it? Even if that’s the case, they still won’t listen to you. I agree with Sect Master Li. Just let them die.”

“Unfortunately, I agree with the idea to just let them die.”

“If the Universal Music Academy is gone, there will no longer be any need for us to deal with their Sect Master’s death, which will save us headaches, not to mention how much money it will save us in the future.”

In the end, the other Sect Masters expressed the same opinion— to let the Universal Music Academy perish.

This way, they will save resources along other things.

Sect Master Xiahou felt dejected afterward. After all, she wanted to save these disciples.

“While Sun Hao deserved to die, these disciples do not deserve such a pointless death. The other Sect Masters may not want to save them, but I want to at least try.”

Sect Master Xiahou hopped onto her flying treasure and left the sect to meet up with the disciples of the Universal Music Academy.

Meanwhile, Yuan and Wang Xiuying laid beside the medicine fields and talked about their adventures. Of course, since Wang Xiuying had spent most of her time practicing Alchemy, it was mostly Yuan who did the talking.

“By the way, you said that you’d joined the sect for me. What was that about?” Yuan remembered and asked her.

Wang Xiuying blushed and revealed the truth to him.

“You joined the sect and learned Alchemy just to help me? I am really flattered, but you really don’t need to do this… I have already robbed enough people of their time over the past decades. Xiuying, please, just do whatever you want… for yourself.” Yuan sighed after learning everything.

Wang Xiuying shook her head and said, “You have no idea how much your music saved me, Yuan. Even after your retirement, your music continued to motivate me every single day. Even if it wasn’t your intention, I am still grateful to you, hence why I want to help you.”

“But don’t worry, I am no longer pursuing Alchemy just to help you. I have another goal now.”

“Oh? What’s that?”

“There’s someone I want to surpass, and I won’t stop until that goal is achieved. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to help you anymore!”

“Your servant may be much better in Alchemy than me now, but I am still your nurse in the real world!”

“Yuan, I heard that you’d created a faction. I want to join it!”

“Huh? You want to join the Demon Sealing Faction?”

“Demon Sealing Faction? What a weird name. But yes, I do. All factions have a medical team. I will be in your medical team!”

“We don’t actually have a medical team. The faction consists of 10 members including me, and they’re only good at fighting… Except for Meixiu, who also deals with our food and some of the chores.”

“I see… Then I will be the first member of your medical team! If you doubt my credentials, I can—”

“There’s no need.” Yuan smiled.

“If you want to join, I won’t refuse. However, we currently live on a very secluded mountain. Unless you live with us, it won’t be very convenient for us to meet.”

“I heard. The Dragon Spiral Mountain, right? I tried visiting you once, but I was immediately turned away.”

“Huh? Why didn’t you just give us a call? We could’ve probably worked something out.”

“I didn’t want to bother you.”

“Anyways, I will speak with my grandfather later about leaving his hospital permanently to work with you guys.”

“If that’s your decision.” Yuan nodded.

“Anyways, do you want to listen to some music? It’s been a while since I have played the instrument.”

“Of course! I would never miss the chance to listen to your music!” Wang Xiuying immediately nodded.

Yuan retrieved the Soul Ensnaring Zither and started playing it.

A couple of hours away from the Spirit Healing Academy, Sect Master Xiahou finally encountered the disciples from the Universal Music Academy.

“Stop! I am the Sect Master of the Spirit Healing Academy, and I wish to speak with you!” She stood before their army that consisted of over 10,000 disciples.

Although the Universal Music Academy had over 100,000 disciples, they decided to not bring anyone below Spirit Master, as they would only be a hindrance.

“Greetings, Sect Master Xiahou. I am Elder Chen, who will be replacing Sect Master Sun in the near future. We only have one objective— the bastard that killed our Sect Master! If you’re worried that we might damage your sect, please be at ease. We will not enter your sect, only surround it from the outside, and we will only attack once our target leaves your sect.”

“Future? This future that you speak of will not exist if you stubbornly insist on avenging Sect Master Sun’s death! I am here in hopes to convince you all to turn back!” Sect Master Xiahou said in a loud and clear voice that could be heard by everyone there.
