My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 91: The Disciples' Transformation (Please Subscribe)

After a stick of incense.

The battle ended.

Everyone from the He family lay on the ground.

Including He Denglong, his chest and abdomen covered in sword wounds and blood holes, his heart torn open, pierced through his back.

Of the dozens of people, only He Qigong remained, lying on the ground, vomiting blood while weakly cursing.

"You... all... will die..."

"No one... can... escape..."

"My... my son... Denglong is... a disciple of the Jinyang Sect..."

"You... killed him... Jinyang..."

"Enough, you're all about to die and still trying to deceive people." Han Ying, her face and body covered in blood, gasped for breath and interrupted with a sneer. "He Denglong was caught peeping at a female disciple bathing in the Jinyang Sect last month. He was expelled from the sect and is now just a discarded disciple!"

"The Jinyang Sect didn't completely erase him to avoid tarnishing their reputation. They've already been generous enough."

"Do you still expect the Jinyang Sect to avenge He Denglong? Dream on in your next life!"

"Poof~"

He Qigong spat out a mouthful of dark blood towards the sky. His face grew paler, and in his widened eyes, shock, shame, horror, and unwillingness surged.

"You... how do you... know..."

He couldn't utter the last word and died from asphyxiation.

Huff!

Maintaining a cold and composed expression, Han Ying walked over to a nearby stone and sat down.

"Ugh~"

Not far from her, Su Dayong lay on the ground, trembling and continuously vomiting, but only white foam came out.

"Wuwuwu~" Chen Qingning, on the other side, dropped her weapon and sobbed, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Chen Yifan's face turned pale as he tilted his head back and took deep breaths. His hands and calves trembled incessantly.

Duan Zhen stood under a tree with his eyes closed, his eyelids twitching.

Nan Jinyu, her white clothes stained with blood, stood beside He Denglong's corpse, expressionless. It seemed like she was comprehending something. Her hand gripping the sword tightened, and her breathing became rapid.

After Han Ying's breath calmed down, she looked at one person and then another, but didn't speak immediately.

When she felt that they had recovered enough, she stood up with a stern face and reprimanded, "Look at you, look at you!"

"It's just killing a few people, and you're acting like you've lost your parents."

"What's this? Do you think this world is all about you being good, me being good, and everyone being good together?"

"If it weren't for our master protecting us all these years, could you have lived so happily and had such smooth days?"

"Especially you, the eldest. You're already so old, yet still so naive!"

"The He family bullied you, beat you, and injured you. They were just one step away from stepping on your face and cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations. And you could just brush it off so lightly?"

"For ten thousand taels of silver, they could have sold you?"

"Fine, you can set your own price at just ten thousand taels. But what about our master? When someone insulted him, he was worse off than a beggar. Can you bear that? Over these years, is our master's kindness to you worth so little?"

"Stop talking, stop talking!" Su Dayong raised his hand, his voice hoarse with shame.

"Now you know to stop talking? What were you doing just now? Hmph~"

Han Ying coldly scolded, then turned to Chen Qingning and said impatiently, "And you, why are you crying? You only know how to eat and drink all the time, never wanting to train. You'd rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand. If it weren't for our master helping you improve your strength this time, do you think you could have escaped the He family's attack?"

"Even if the spiritual energy in White Water County recovers and the He family is gone, there are still the Niu family, Ma family, Zhu family, and various other forces that will come knocking on our door. Without strength, can you protect yourself?"

"Crying? Can crying fill your stomach? Can it make you stronger?"

Chen Qingning, "..."

Shut up, bow your head, stop trembling, and dare not make a sound.

"Hmph!"

Han Ying glared at her, withdrew her gaze, and loudly said, "Remember this, it was our master who protected us in the past, allowing us to live our lives peacefully and comfortably."

"But starting three days ago, the spiritual energy in White Water County has been recovering, and everyone in the county will face various challenges and pressures in the future."

"If you can't hold on, you will die. Only by holding on can you stand firm in the future White Water!"

"At this critical moment of great opportunities and risks, you represent not only yourselves, but also our master!"

Pausing for a moment, Han Ying looked at Nie Shuangshuang and chuckled, "If you don't know what to do, you can learn from Xiao Ba. Look at how Xiao Ba faces the dead."

Huh?

Su Dayong, Chen Qingning, Chen Yifan, Duan Zhen, and Nan Jinyu, the five of them, subconsciously looked at Nie Shuangshuang upon hearing this.

They saw her shuttling among one corpse after another, one hand holding a bag, the other wearing gloves, searching for things on the bodies and throwing them into the bag.

The scattered limbs, severed arms, and fresh blood and organs on the ground did not make her feel the slightest discomfort.

Her fair and tender face was full of seriousness, with only a slight frown when she turned over the bodies.

Upon hearing Han Ying's words, she was first stunned, then grinned and waved to everyone, cheerfully saying, "Senior brothers and sisters, come and take a look. There are many good things on these people. I have found more than one bottle of the pills that our master mentioned."

"Come on, let's all go treasure hunting together!"

Su Dayong, Chen Qingning, Chen Yifan, Duan Zhen, Nan Jinyu, "..."

Treasure hunting among the dead?

Looking at Nie Shuangshuang, who continued to search the bodies and corpses, Su Dayong and the other four fell silent for a moment.

Han Ying was right.

They had been living too comfortably before today.

Even Nie Shuangshuang was not like them!

Although this girl was quite strange.

She usually didn't go out, hiding in the courtyard all day. Every time it was windy or thundering, she had to have Han Ying accompany her to sleep.

Today, she faced the corpses all over the ground without any fear at all!

...

Near the entrance of the valley.

Under an inconspicuous slope.

Four members of the Wild Dog Gang lay on the ground, covering each other's mouths, trembling uncontrollably.

At first, no one dared to move, watching the battle from a distance.

After the fight ended and Hidden Dragon Gate emerged victorious, Han Ying and the others sat down to rest, almost uninjured.

Only then did the four gang members slowly retreat, still crouching on the ground, gradually moving backward.

They kept retreating until they were out of the valley.

Out of the mountain pass.

Only then did the four gang members get up and run as if their lives depended on it.

They ran out of Azure Ox Mountain in one breath.

They ran onto the official road, leaning against rocks and trees, gasping for breath.

"How is this possible... how is this possible!"

"Don't talk about possibilities anymore, didn't you see all those corpses?"

"Hidden Dragon Gate! Tsk tsk, they truly live up to their reputation as Hidden Dragons. Chen Wuji's disciples used to be at the Body Refining stage, but today each of them burst forth with strength comparable to the True Qi stage!"

"No need for comparisons, one of the female disciples, the most beautiful one, is already at the True Qi Realm!"

"By the way, if the disciples are at the True Qi Realm, what realm do you think Chen Wuji, their master, is in?"
