A Faint Smile (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader "Xingkong de Wuyu")

"False orthodoxy is false orthodoxy. I heard they hadn't even agreed to let their disciples climb the Blood Ladder before they arrived. It was their elders who insisted. And the result? Not one of their so-called true disciples was any good."

"Heh, maybe that's the real inheritance: those old turtles' legendary turtle-shell shrinking technique! Hahaha!"

"Exactly! False orthodoxy's all about hiding in its shell, just like turtles! Hahaha..."

"Innate Religion, Tower of Reincarnation, and Wushi Villa are no better. If you ask me, our Sacred Sect is the greatest sect under heaven!"

"Right!"

"Exactly!"

"Very true..."

The five true disciples of the righteous path sat in their respective seats, silent. They pretended not to hear the surrounding jeers and mockery, communicating secretly instead. "Although Li Lieyue is a vicious witch who once ambushed eighteen of our fellow disciples and refined them into sword puppets, she's famously proud. Pei Ling did something like that, and he isn't even from one of Chongming Sect's three great Aristocratic Clans. How can she put up with it?"

Qiu Weiyang of Cold Abyss Sword Sect sounded somewhat dazed.

Shang Fengfeng scoffed. "The Holy Son and Saintess of Chongming Sect becoming Dao Companions is nothing but a formality, to make it easier for the three clans to keep control of the sect."

"Pei Ling publicly drained the Sect Master's wife, and the Sect Master didn't care in the least. They may be husband and wife in name, but they're as distant as strangers. No, even colder than strangers."

"Why would Li Lieyue care if Pei Ling carries on with other women?"

Wenren Mi said curtly, "Those demonic fiends have no regard for human decency or morality. They're no better than beasts. If we run into them in the future, kill them on sight if we can!"
