Chapter 614: Subduing the Serpent Witch Sect
Daisy Lee felt a bad premonition when she met Lan Wan'er's gaze, as if something unpleasant was about to happen. This woman looked much younger than her, probably still a girl, yet her look was so wickedly piercing that even an experienced woman like herself felt a trace of fear.
But no matter how unpleasant, it was still better than dying.
Daisy Lee did not want to die.
She had no intention of being buried along with the White Bone Sect. Although she was romantically involved with the White Bone Reverend, what was her name? Black Widow. That was the most venomous spider. After mating, the black widow spider would devour the male.
As long as it meant survival, what did it matter if the White Bone Reverend was dead?
It's not like she would hesitate to kill the White Bone Reverend to save her own life even if he wasn't dead.
So when she heard Lan Wan'er say she wanted to keep her for indoctrination, she couldn't be happier. It was a chance to live. She immediately crawled to Lan Wan'er's feet and said, "Don't kill me, I'll do anything as long as you spare me."
Lan Wan'er smiled sweetly, "Okay then."
She touched Daisy Lee's forehead, then suddenly pulled out a knife and made a cut on it, drawing out Daisy Lee's blood. After casting a witchcraft spell, Daisy Lee's complexion changed; she felt a sinister power seeping into her body.
Daisy Lee's eyes flashed with panic, "What, what did you cast on me?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't you say you'd do anything?" Lan Wan'er giggled, "It's just a blood curse. If you disobey, it will reverse the flow of your blood and burst your heart, that's all."
That's it?
Daisy Lee's complexion looked terrible.
But, with no choice under another's roof, Daisy Lee managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Of course, it's okay. I was just asking."
Long Xiaoshan saw Lan Wan'er about to play her tricks.
He let her be. After all, it was not the first time for Lan Wan'er. And if not killing, then so be it. Currently, the Serpent Witch Sect was extremely weak. Initially, all the experts had perished, and with the White Bone Sect leading a group of Sorcerers in another invasion, many more had died.
Now, the Serpent Witch Sect was almost entirely hollowed out, essentially non-existent.
Without Lan Wan'er recruiting a few more powerful subordinates, the Serpent Witch Sect would be as good as finished. Daisy Lee's strength was still formidable, not much inferior to Lan Wan'er.
Long Xiaoshan took out an Elixir Pill and threw it to Daisy Lee, "Swallow this."
Daisy Lee, not knowing what it was, did not dare to refuse. Even if Long Xiaoshan told her to take poison, she would have accepted. After swallowing the pill, a warm current surged through her limbs and torso. Daisy Lee's pale complexion soon regained a hint of color, and her injuries quickly started to heal.
She looked at Long Xiaoshan in astonishment; it must be a secret healing medicine.
However, the effects of this secret medicine were too potent. Long Xiaoshan's image in her mind became even more mysterious and powerful. To have such a miraculous medicine, neither the White Bone Sect nor the Spider God Cult possessed such a thing.
Gedanwei entered the Golden Great Hall with a shrinking posture, his eyes wide, staring at the corpses scattered across the floor.
Was everyone dead?
But he soon spotted Long Xiaoshan, Lan Wan'er, and a beautiful foreign woman.
Could it be that the White Bone Sect had been annihilated?
Gedanwei quickly approached and said, "Master, and master's master!"
Lan Wan'er said, "You sure have a keen eye, waiting until the fight was over before you came in."
Gedanwei offered an embarrassed smile and said, "Master, you know my strength. Coming in wouldn't have made a difference."
"Even if it wouldn't have made a difference, as my dog, aren't you supposed to take a bullet for me? Even if it means dying, you should be the first to charge ahead," Lan Wan'er scolded.
Gedanwei was meek and subservient.
Long Xiaoshan knew Gedanwei was exceptional at escaping death; he had survived time and again not by chance but definitely as an oddity. He couldn't be bothered to argue and directly asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
"I saw a few from the White Bone Sect running away. The others have been almost wiped out. Our Serpent Witch Sect's remaining forces are cleaning up the battlefield," Gedanwei reported.
Long Xiaoshan nodded.
The White Bone Sect was the absolute core of this assault. With the White Bone Sect extinguished, the other groups were insignificant. Although the Serpent Witch Sect had declined, it was once Myanmar's leading force. A dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Having eradicated the White Bone Sect, there was no need for him to lift a finger for the rest.
Gedanwei's eyes darted around. Catching sight of the White Bone Reverend lying on the ground, he exclaimed, "The White Bone Reverend, he... he's dead?"
"Of course, he's dead," Lan Wan'er said.
Gedanwei was filled with fear and awe. The White Bone Reverend, a Sorcerer whose strength was second only to his father's in Myanmar, was astoundingly powerful. Even his father couldn't kill him, yet he lay dead here, certainly at the hands of Long Xiaoshan.
And it wasn't just the White Bone Reverend— the elite bodies of the White Bone Sect were scattered all over the ground.
When he had entered, only Long Xiaoshan and Lan Wan'er were there. Just the two of them had annihilated the entire White Bone Sect. Any lingering thoughts he had of rebellion now completely vanished.
Long Xiaoshan was too strong, despairingly so. Such a man was not someone he could betray.
From that moment on, Gedanwei completely straightened up and behaved himself.
Long Xiaoshan, with the three people, walked out of the Golden Great Hall. By then, the Serpent Witch Sect members had killed the invaders, taken prisoners, or chased the others away. Long Xiaoshan ordered Gedanwei to gather everyone.
The remaining few members of the Serpent Witch Sect assembled in the plaza of the Golden Great Hall.
Originally, the Serpent Witch Sect had three to four hundred members; now, almost extinct, there were fewer than a hundred left. Those who had survived were loyal to the Serpent Witch Sect, otherwise, they would have certainly fled during the conflict. Long Xiaoshan said, "Members of the Serpent Witch Sect, during this invasion by the White Bone Sect, the White Bone Reverend has been slain."
With a wave of his hand, Gedanwei dragged out the body of the White Bone Reverend and said, "Look, the White Bone Reverend is dead. From now on, our Serpent Witch Sect will remain the strongest in Myanmar."
Seeing the body of the White Bone Reverend, all those who had survived from the Serpent Witch Sect cheered.
Yesterday, Long Xiaoshan had killed the Respected Master Maoqin and planned to promote Lan Wan'er. The members of the Serpent Witch Sect had been reluctant, respecting only the power of the two. Now, with Long Xiaoshan having saved the Serpent Witch Sect by killing the White Bone Reverend, their reluctance had faded.
They also knew that without Long Xiaoshan, the Serpent Witch Sect would have been finished by now, definitively overtaken by the White Bone Sect. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
If the Serpent Witch Sect was to survive without a dominant figure, they would still be eradicated sooner or later.
Nobody opposed Long Xiaoshan's move to nominate Lan Wan'er as the Sect Hierarch of the Serpent Witch Sect anymore.
All of them collectively endorsed Lan Wan'er as the new Sect Hierarch of the Serpent Witch Sect. Lan Wan'er whispered in Long Xiaoshan's ear, "I don't want to be any Sect Hierarch. Aren't you returning to the country? I want to go with you."
Long Xiaoshan spoke softly, "It's alright, even if you are the Sect Hierarch, you don't necessarily have to stay here. Don't you have Mei Niang and those few followers you've taken on? Besides, I will leave an avatar here."
