Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

100: Chapter 100 I treat you like my wife, but you want me to be your subordinate?Seven days later, outside the main hall.

”The Sun Moon Holy Cult, invincible in attack, undefeated in battle!”

”The Cult Master, Dongfang Bai, unparalleled in both civil and martial virtues, may you reign for millennia and unite the Jianghu!”

The slogans shook the heavens and earth, their momentum grand and imposing.

Below the hall, thousands of cult members stood in neat rows, curved swords at their waists and weapons in hand, the atmosphere thick with killing intent.

Looking at Dongfang Bai not far ahead, dressed in a crimson gown, her eyes radiating an Aura of dominating the world.

Su Xuan’s eyes sparkled with admiration. This was seriously cool!

”Let’s move out!”

Dongfang Bai raised her jade-like hand, and suddenly, thousands of red silks shot out from above the main hall, flying over the heads of the Sun Moon Holy Cult members.

”The Sun Moon Holy Cult, invincible in attack, undefeated in battle!”

”The Cult Master, Dongfang Bai, unparalleled in both civil and martial virtues, may you reign for millennia and unite the Jianghu!”

Witnessing this grand and imposing scene, Su Xuan really wanted to fittingly declare, ”Look! This is the kingdom my wife has conquered for me!”

Before his fantasy could linger, Su Xuan suddenly sensed something and focused his gaze.

He saw a middle-aged man standing at the very front below the hall staring directly at him.

Noticing Su Xuan’s look, the man returned a sinister smile.

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked Blue Phoenix beside him, ”Who is that person?”

Blue Phoenix, who had been standing calmly to the side, was momentarily taken aback by Su Xuan’s question.

Following Su Xuan’s gaze, she replied respectfully, ”The Bright Left Emissary, Xiang Wentian.”

Xiang Wentian?!

He hadn’t offended this person, had he?! Why did he feel this person harbored ill intentions towards him?

Blue Phoenix was the closest person to Dongfang Bai, something almost everyone present knew.

Standing at such a prominent spot, Blue Phoenix’s respectful gesture towards Su Xuan naturally caught the eyes of those below.

The reactions among the crowd varied—confusion, envy, jealousy, all were present, and of course, killing intent...

Su Xuan frowned slightly. He could clearly sense that faint killing intent emanating from Xiang Wentian’s direction.

This person wanted to kill him?!

Soon, the deafening slogans came to an end.

Before Dongfang Bai could speak, Xiang Wentian suddenly stepped out from the ranks and stood at the center below the hall, bowing as he said,

”Cult Master, this subordinate has an important matter to report.”

Dongfang Bai flicked her red sleeve, placing her jade-like hands behind her back, her expression unchanged. ”Speak.”

Xiang Wentian first glanced at Su Xuan, then said respectfully, ”Reporting to the Cult Master, this subordinate believes that internal stability must precede external actions. Before attacking the Shaolin Temple, we should purge the parasites within our cult!”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Dongfang Bai’s mouth as her gaze fell upon Xiang Wentian. ”Then, according to Left Emissary Xiang, who are the parasites within our cult?”

Although Dongfang Bai’s voice was calm, it sent shivers down the spines of everyone below.

Every time the Sun Moon Holy Cult undertook a major operation, one or two people would die beforehand.

This time, were they going to kill some people to boost morale and demonstrate power?!

Especially those who usually didn’t get along with Xiang Wentian felt even more anxious and uneasy.

Seeing the initiative now in his hands, Xiang Wentian’s lips curled slightly upwards, a shadow of malice flashing in his eyes. His finger suddenly pointed in Su Xuan’s direction. ”Reporting to the Cult Master, this subordinate believes this person is the greatest parasite within our cult! If he does not die, our cult will never know peace!”

As his words fell, the gazes of everyone present landed on Su Xuan.

Su Xuan crossed his arms, his expression unchanged. So, he really had plans for him...

Tapping his fingers lightly, Su Xuan looked at Xiang Wentian and laughed, ”Oh? I deserve to die? Esteemed dumbass, what makes you think so?”

dumbass?! What kind of currency is ’dumbass’?!

Xiang Wentian frowned slightly, brushing aside the thought in his mind. He glared angrily at Su Xuan, speaking with conviction, ”Since your arrival, the Cult Master has never attended to cult affairs, and the cult has fallen into chaos. For this reason alone, shouldn’t you be killed?!”

”The death of Elder Tong Baixiong some days ago was probably also your doing!? Because of you alone, the entire Sun Moon Holy Cult is thrown into panic. Shouldn’t you be killed for that?!”

Xiang Wentian’s two consecutive accusations left Su Xuan somewhat stunned.

Just because of that, he wanted him dead?!

This was probably the first time he and Xiang Wentian had met today, and yet he was already targeting him.

As soon as Xiang Wentian finished speaking, several more people stepped out from below, standing behind Xiang Wentian and echoing, ”If this person does not die, our cult will never know peace. We beseech the Cult Master to execute this person to bolster the might of our cult’s campaign against Shaolin!”

Looking at the dozen or so people who had stepped forward below, a cold smile appeared on Su Xuan’s lips.

It seemed this was premeditated...

A cunning, treacherous light flashed in Xiang Wentian’s eyes.

He, Xiang Wentian, had first been loyal to the former Cult Master, Ren Woxing, but later became disillusioned with him.

He was then offered an olive branch by Invincible East and became the second-in-command of the Sun Moon Holy Cult, the Bright Left Emissary.

Everyone has ambitions, especially him!

Forget about whether he could ascend to the Cult Master’s position; originally, he was perfectly content as the second-in-command.

Second only to one person, above ten thousand others.

But then, Su Xuan arrived some days ago. His arrival alone was one thing, but because of Su Xuan, even Tong Baixiong, whom he usually feared, had died just like that.

Who would believe there wasn’t something fishy going on? Moreover, since Su Xuan’s arrival, Dongfang Bai had openly neglected cult affairs, and those who had previously opposed her were killed without hesitation.

This made him feel very threatened!

Therefore, Su Xuan must die today. If Su Xuan didn’t die, his heart would never be at ease!

Today, he planned to stand his ground to the end. He didn’t believe Invincible East would choose to protect a male concubine in front of thousands of cult members...

”Pfft—” Hearing Xiang Wentian’s earnest accusations, Su Xuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Xiang Wentian’s face darkened. ”What are you laughing at?”

”You really are a fucking huge dumbass!” Before Xiang Wentian could figure out what ’dumbass’ really meant, Su Xuan continued, ”By your logic, when your mother married your father and conceived you, this bastard, she neglected her needlework and made two fewer garments. So, your father deserved to die?!”

As he spoke, Su Xuan spread his hands. ”What kind of reasoning is that in this world?”

Hearing Su Xuan’s ridiculous words, Blue Phoenix could barely contain her laughter, while Dongfang Bai’s expression turned peculiar.

”You little...” Xiang Wentian was so angry he almost passed out. Remembering the main objective today, he ignored Su Xuan and bowed to Dongfang Bai instead. ”I beg the Cult Master to execute this man to bolster the might of our cult!”

As soon as Xiang Wentian finished speaking, those behind him echoed in unison, ”We beg the Cult Master to execute this man to bolster the might of our cult...”

Having repeatedly heard Xiang Wentian’s desire to kill Su Xuan, Dongfang Bai’s anger had long accumulated to its peak. She said gloomily, ”It is indeed necessary to deal with the parasites within the cult before attacking Shaolin.”

Hearing this, Xiang Wentian’s face lit up with joy. ”The Cult Master is wise...”

Before he could finish, Xiang Wentian suddenly felt a chill on his forehead. He jerked his head up, his pupils constricting sharply.

”Whoosh” ”Whoosh” ”Whoosh” ”...”

Xiang Wentian couldn’t dodge in time and fell to the ground with a thud.

Along with him, the dozen or so people who had stepped forward behind him also fell.

Themisfortune happened too quickly, shocking everyone below and sending their thoughts into turmoil...

Looking at Xiang Wentian’s corpse, Su Xuan wore a look of disdain. To say he wanted to kill him right in front of his would-be wife,

Wasn’t that like being a dung beetle in a latrine—seeking death?

At that moment, Su Xuan suddenly heard a voice beside his ear, ”Su Xuan, Your Highness awaits to confer a title upon you!”

”Huh?” Su Xuan looked at Dongfang Bai in confusion.

Dongfang Bai paid no heed to Su Xuan’s bewilderment and simply stood there quietly.

It wasn’t until Blue Phoenix gave Su Xuan a push from behind that Su Xuan snapped out of it. Suppressing his confusion, he took two steps forward, pursed his lips, and said, ”Present.”

Dongfang Bai lightly flicked her sleeve, her voice infused with Internal Energy reaching the ears of everyone below. ”From this day forth, I appoint you as the new Bright Left Emissary of this cult.”

”Blue Phoenix will assist you. Within half a day, eradicate all remnants of Xiang Wentian’s faction to bolster the might of our cult. Half a day later, we depart to attack Shaolin...”
