Only then did the three elders, Qi, Sun, and Zhou, remember that ever since they had brought up that damned prisoner Xu Yi, Elder Kong had barely said a word.
In the past, Elder Kong and Elder Xia had been the closest of friends.
When they had fought Xu Yi, Elder Kong had been the first to charge into the fray.
Yet now, as they discussed revenge, he sat silent. How strange.
Before the three elders could ask him about it, Elder Kong said coldly, "Do you truly want revenge, or are you just enjoying the sound of your own voices?"
Elder Qi said, "Old Kong, from the way you put that, do you have a plan?"
Elder Sun said, "If you have a plan, stop keeping us in suspense. Never mind that we need to vent our anger; we must also purge this grudge, lest that villain become a heart demon on our path to advancing to Yang Venerable."
Elder Zhou added, "Even though I have already attained the rank of Yang Venerable, that villain's sinister face has clearly not faded from my mind. Who knows whether he'll interfere with me again the next time my heart demon strikes? Brother Kong, don't worry. If you have a plan, I, Zhou, will do everything I can to help."
Now that he had attained the rank of Yang Venerable, his bearing and confidence were clearly different from before.
Elder Kong nodded. "I do have a few ideas. To be honest, killing that villain will be extremely difficult for now, but that doesn't mean it'll be hard to vent our anger and dispel our heart demons. We need only humiliate him thoroughly and ruin his reputation. Then we'll have our revenge."
"What's the plan?"
The three elders spoke in unison.
