Chapter 387
"A newly recruited disciple?"
Song Jiulai said with a forced smile, "Is your Fierce Eagle Sect's method of recruiting new disciples so peculiar that you have to bring them back like prisoners?"
Song Jiulai has honed his acting skills over time, and when he's not smiling, he still exudes the air and charisma of a fox borrowing the tiger's might.
He seemed like a disciple from a major sect, his serious demeanor exuding a cold aura.
The disciple of the Fierce Eagle Sect immediately lowered his head, not daring to look Song Jiulai in the eye.
He said something absurd without any remorse: "New kids are always a little scared, so..."
"If they're scared, should you lock them up? Shouldn't you comfort them properly?"
Most people probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
But when Song Jiu came, he saw a group of children being brought back tied up.
Given that the Fierce Eagle Sect is currently facing problems, it's even less likely that she would turn a blind eye.
Especially when those children looked at Song Jiu, there was always a hint of secret expectation in their eyes.
But they dared not say it outright.
A hint of impatience flashed through the minds of the disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect.
I don't understand why these disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect are meddling in other people's business.
Even those from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect wouldn't meddle in things that weren't their concern.
Besides, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect doesn't know how to recruit new disciples. They can just ask a couple of questions and that's it. Why are they being so aggressive?
Regardless of what the disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect might be guessing, Song Jiulai had already examined the cage closely for a few moments, his voice intriguing: "Such a small child with spiritual roots, could it be that you forcibly kidnapped him from somewhere?"
"How could that be?" The Eagle Clan disciple's lips twitched. "Their parents are just ordinary rogue cultivators. It's a good thing they can join a sect and receive unified training, but the journey is long, so for convenience—"
Song Jiulai remained silent with a sullen face.
She remained silent and made no further move.
The disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect dared not take any action.
The children stared at Song Jiu with wide, terrified eyes.
It was as if they were under a curse, because they seemed unable to speak.
Song Jiu moved his fingertips and indeed sensed that the children had been given a spell to keep them from speaking.
In the Yunzhou Continent, some mental cultivation techniques and incantations are universal and basic, but there are slight differences in how they are used depending on each person's spiritual energy.
"What new disciples? Are they not allowed to speak?" Song Jiulai sneered and reached out to break the incantation of the Qi Refining stage disciples on the children.
Song Jiulai was somewhat relieved: "Luckily, I'm only at the Qi Refining stage. If I were at the Foundation Establishment stage, I wouldn't be able to show off like this."
System: "Not bad! Installation successful!"
The children immediately burst into tears. One little girl cried out to Song Jiu, "That's not true! They killed our parents!"
The disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect immediately changed their expressions.
With a flick of his wrist, Song Jiulai caused several disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect to be gripped by the neck by an invisible force, and their bodies began to fly into the air.
One of the Qi Refining stage disciples, his face flushed, tried to struggle: "Senior, it's not..."
He wanted to say that wasn't the case, but that was the truth.
He wanted to say that this was a matter for the Fierce Eagle Sect.
Song Jiulai rarely gets angry; she knows that the law of the jungle prevails in the cultivation world.
However, killing a child's parents and then forcibly taking the child away is against moral principles.
If everyone acts recklessly like this, we'll all be finished sooner or later.
"What kind of disciple would need to kill someone's parents? What exactly is your Fierce Eagle Sect doing behind the backs of the Myriad Immortals Sect? Our Myriad Immortals Sect has never allowed sects like yours to commit murder and kidnapping!"
She threw several disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect away and bound them with incantations.
The people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect would be arriving soon, but Song Jiulai didn't make any moves on his own.
Even if the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect were to refrain from meddling in other people's business, they would not turn a blind eye to such matters.
The need for protection for offspring is a universal law in any world.
Even if it's a blood feud that wipes out an entire family, you have to do it discreetly if you want to eliminate the root of the problem.
If you don't have disciples, do you just steal from others?
I've only ever heard of the children of independent practitioners eagerly entering sects; I've never heard of the Fierce Eagle Sect doing this.
It would be strange if there wasn't something wrong here!
The system also had a guess: "Could it be related to the cultivation method they practice, and that they need to start experimenting on children?"
This is very possible.
In the cultivation world, many cultivation techniques and methods disregard human rights, and experiments can be conducted on any object.
Upon hearing this, Song Jiu's eyes turned cold.
If that's really the case, then they deserve the word "beast."
There was a reason why the Tianyang Sect couldn't stand it anymore and destroyed the sect back then.
She took control of the Fierce Eagle Sect disciples and released the children from their cages.
The children with spiritual roots were terrified. When they realized that Song Jiu had come to save them, they all ran behind Song Jiu and hid.
Song Jiulai's actions outside the county town of Lieying Sect also caught the attention of other cultivators.
When everyone saw this scene and realized that Song Jiulai was wearing the sect uniform of the Wanxian Sect, no one dared to be the first to speak up, and they all hid in the shadows to watch the show.
I don't know what happened to the Fierce Eagle Sect that caused them to offend the disciples of the Myriad Immortals Sect.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a sonic boom came from the distant sky.
Several figures in flowing white robes appeared, dressed in the same Wanxian Sect attire as Song Jiulai.
The person in the lead looked very familiar; he was someone Song Jiu had met before.
"Wow, isn't this the great benefactor who gave me the fourth-tier blood-replenishing pill?"
On that day, Song Jiulai fought a great battle against a Tianyang Sect cultivator named Ma Feng at the border of Dongmo Valley. Later, Ma Feng led him to a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.
Just as the demon cultivator was about to deliver the fatal blow, he sensed the aura of the cultivator before him and immediately fled.
This cultivator was from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, and he even gave the seriously injured Song Jiu a fourth-grade blood-replenishing pill to help him recover.
In the cultivation world, this is at least considered a kind-hearted person.
Right now, he is leading several other Golden Core stage disciples of the Myriad Immortals Sect over.
He still had that otherworldly air about him, glancing at Song Jiulai with indifference, as if he recognized Song Jiulai's identity.
His gaze swept over the bound Fierce Eagle Sect disciples beside him, and a few whimpering children: "What happened?"
"Senior brother!" Song Jiulai immediately became indignant. "I was passing by when I found these Fierce Eagle Sect disciples to be terrifying. They were actually locking up these children in cages. I felt something was wrong and tried to stop them, but I discovered that these disciples had heartlessly killed the children's parents and forcibly brought them back to the Fierce Eagle Sect. They even tried to deceive me by saying that these were newly recruited disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect!"
Xiao Yu glanced at the Wanxian Sect attire Song Jiulai was wearing and chose to believe him without hesitation.
He looked at the Fierce Eagle Sect disciples with an incredulous gaze: "What are you trying to do by using such methods?"
Fierce Eagle Sect disciple: "Ugh ugh ugh ugh!"
They were silenced by Song Jiulai and could not speak.
