BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - Swear To Heaven
Yang Wei cried inwardly from the pain as he tried to free himself.
"E-Elder Jing, why did you twist my ear?" Yang Wei showed a pitiful expression once he freed himself from Elder Jing\'s grasp.
"Hmph, that\'s your punishment for spouting nonsense, or do you wish to consume a Stomach Killer as punishment instead," Elder Jing scoffed and glared at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei quickly shook his head as he silently soothes his ear from the pain.
Elder Jing nodded her head before leaving Yang Wei alone.
"Where are you going?" Yang Wei asked in confusion since she still needed to supervise his refinement process.
"Going to meet the two pathetic elders for something important. Focus on recalling your refinement process previously and wait for my return before you begin another refinement."
Yang Wei was dumbfounded as he mumbled softly, "Two pathetic elders?"
Yang Wei soon forgot about that topic and resumed his task as he focused on what type of mistakes occurred during the merging process.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing headed toward Elder Pao Huang.
"Elder Pao Huang, come with me to meet with the two pathetic elders," Elder Jing said and walked ahead.
Elder Pao Huang didn\'t utter a single complaint as he quickly followed behind Elder Jing.
Sometime later, Elder Jing arrived at the area meant for the Tyrant Lion Sect and Phoenix Sky Sect to stay as a refuge.
\'Tch, some top sect disciples these people are. Full of cowardly people that had nothing else besides their family being wealthy or influential,\' Elder Jing sneered inwardly when she saw the disciples were all cowering in fear.
Some even held a pale expression that was muttering the word, \'father\'.
Meanwhile, Elder Fang Yunru turned pale when she saw Elder Jing arriving here.
\'What does she want from us this time?\' Elder Fang Yunru pondered inwardly as he knew it would be anything but good news for Elder Jing to come over here.
"What else do you want from us, Elder Jing," Elder Pan Cheng roared as he was already irritated by Elder Pao Huang\'s previous behavior in scolding them for being an amateur.
Unlike Elder Fang Yunru who kept his silence, Elder Pan Cheng was more vocal and unafraid of what Elder Jing would do to them.
Elder Pao Huang was angry by the disrespectful tone of Elder Pan Cheng.
"Hmph, what is your tone of speech to ELder Jing when you are merely a refuge at the moment," Elder Pao Huang scoffed.
Although he was afraid of their strength, that does not mean he would just sit back and allow Elder Pan Cheng to act disrespectfully toward Elder Jing.
"It\'s okay Elder Pao Huang, let him vent his frustration," Elder Jing patted Elder Pao Huang\'s shoulder to have him calm down.
Elder Pao Huang nodded his head slowly and stepped back. Still, he gave a threatening gaze at Elder Pan Cheng to warn him.
Elder Pan Cheng ignored his gaze and stared at Elder Jing, "You coming in here is nothing good. So speak, what else do you want from us after taking our treasures."
"Heh, all I want to do is very simple." Elder Jing smiled briefly at them and continued, "Swear to heaven."
"Swear to heaven?" This time it was Elder Fang Yunru who was confused by Elder Jing\'s meaning.
"Mhmm, swear to heaven that you would not tell a single soul about our deal and that you would not seek revenge at all." Elder Jing explained further for them to understand exactly what they need to do.
Elder Pan Cheng was dumbfounded for a while before laughing aloud without caring about his appearance.
Elder Jing stood calmly and waited for Elder Pan Cheng to finish laughing like a fool.
Sometime later, Elder Pan Cheng stopped laughing and looked at Elder Jing, "You must be crazy if you think I\'m going to swear to heaven for it."
There was no way he would allow Elder Jing to get away with the exorbitant amount when demons are out in the open.
He was going to seek revenge the first thing they leave the mysterious realm so Elder Jing\'s request was ridiculous.
"I\'m indeed crazy… for the alchemy that is." Elder Jing smiled slightly despite Elder Pan Cheng\'s disrespectful tone again.
Afterward, she tilted her head and glanced at Elder Fang Yunru, "Are you going to swear to heaven?"
Elder Fang Yunru remained silent for a moment before nodding his head.
Given the circumstances, Elder Fang Yunru knows what he must do even though he may not like the outcome at all.
Elder Fang Yunru then opened three fingers in his right hand and started swearing to heaven to never talk about this event ever again nor seek revenge.
Once he finished swearing, Elder Fang Yunru stared at Elder Jing, "Happy now?"
Elder Jing shook her head and glanced at the Phoenix Sky Sect\'s disciples.
"Your disciples as well since who knows how many of them would snitch on us."
Elder Jing would not risk their sect because of her extortion.
Elder Fang Yunru didn\'t speak anything else except glaring at the disciples and they quickly followed the oath that Elder Fang Yunru swore earlier.
Elder Jing smiled at Elder Fang Yunru\'s decisive action. "It\'s always great working with smart people rather than dealing with a fool."
Elder Jing\'s remark was obvious on who\'s the fool in this area but none dared to speak up.
However, their gaze had already said everything when all eyes were on Elder Pan Cheng.
Elder Pan Cheng twitched his mouth at this unfavorable situation for him.
As much as he wanted to refuse to swear to heaven, his instinct was telling him that the consequences would be his life and the disciples.
Elder Pan Cheng swallowed nervously as he held his head up to look at Elder Jing who was calmly standing still with the same smile.
