Suddenly, her expression changed dramatically.

"Not good, the disciples of the Zi Wei Sect are in trouble!" she suddenly said.

Zi Wei Sect disciples? Ye Luo looked at her in confusion.

"Whether or not they’re in trouble has nothing to do with you anymore. They’ve already been tainted by the Dark Law, and will slowly be eroded by it. If they emerge, they might become a disaster!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In fact, what Ye Luo didn’t say was that it would be best for these disciples to remain in the Spirit Pool and let fate take its course!

After all, no matter how much they evolve, they won’t harm the living beings of the Sixth Region.

Though Ye Luo wasn’t a Saint either, when choosing between the Abyssal races and cultivators, he would undoubtedly choose cultivators!

Of course, even though he had deep enmity with the Dragon Clan, the Myriad Beasts Sect, and the Returner Alliance, he firmly believed that most cultivators still harbored goodwill.

"No, Ye Luo, you’re mistaken. They are disciples I’ve nurtured for many years. How could I bear to let them die? While they have absorbed the Dark Law, they can gradually purify it. Of course, this process requires my guidance!" said Zi Wei.

This took Ye Luo somewhat by surprise.

"So, you’re not of the Abyssal race?"

Hearing this, Zi Wei finally looked at him with displeasure, "I’ve been with you all night, don’t you know if I’m of the Abyssal race or not?"

These words left Ye Luo extremely embarrassed.

"Well, I’ve never been involved with a woman of the Abyssal race, so how would I know!"

In fact, Ye Luo had indeed encountered the Abyssal race before, but he was telling the truth — he had never been intimately involved with a woman of the Abyssal race.

However, Zi Wei also understood her status. She wasn’t yet Ye Luo’s woman — just his servant. If he was pleased, he could favor her; if displeased, he could make her wish for death with a mere thought!

"I’m certainly not of the Abyssal race. However, my cultivation technique does have some link to them. In fact, back in the day, I killed many experts of the Abyssal race!"

What she said brought Ye Luo some relief, as it meant she wasn’t entirely irredeemable!

"I’ll explain everything to you later. If we’re late, I fear the elders will act against them!" Zi Wei said.

It’s just that Ye Luo couldn’t understand; even if they’ve been tainted by the Dark Law, the elders shouldn’t have any reason to harm them, right?

Within the Zi Wei Sect, the disciples who had absorbed the Dark Law had become even more violent.

If Ye Luo saw them, he would surely be shocked, thinking they were no different from zombies!

In fact, the zombies on Earth and the Abyssal race have quite a connection.

"Grand Elder, these disciples have already become demonic. Keeping them around will only be a disaster for our Zi Wei Sect. Moreover, with the Sect Master’s current uncertain fate, why not seize the opportunity to absorb these disciples’ Divine Souls? After all, even if the Sect Master isn’t here, we still have to survive!" an Elder said.

After all, they’ve been part of the Zi Wei Sect for so many years. It’s impossible to claim they know nothing of the Sect Master’s secrets!

Moreover, the Zi Wei Sect’s cultivation techniques are quite unique. At the verge of death, each disciple’s Divine Soul Power can be absorbed and claimed, allowing for a significant boost in personal strength.

However, in the Zi Wei Sect, this is forbidden! Such acts wound morality, and if uncontrolled, the Zi Wei Sect would become an Evil Sect! Such a sect would inevitably be jointly annihilated by other forces!

Thus, this act can only be performed if a disciple dies unexpectedly or meets some accident, with the Sect Master’s agreement!

But now, with thousands of disciples falling into the Demonic Path, and more importantly, the Sect Master’s plan seemingly failing, naturally these elders have other intentions.

After all, the current Zi Wei Sect is on the brink of collapse, and it’s only a matter of time.

Relying solely on a few elders, they cannot sustain the whole sect.

"No way, the Sect Master will definitely return. There’s still hope for our Zi Wei Sect!" the Grand Elder declared sternly.

"Heh heh, Grand Elder, you’re getting old. It’s better not to involve yourself in these matters!"

Suddenly, over ten elders surrounded her, their expressions disdainful.

"What boldness, what do you intend?" the Grand Elder felt an ominous premonition immediately.

Because leading them was the old woman Ye Luo had previously offended. Her strength was not much weaker than the Grand Elder’s.

It was only due to hierarchy that she had been obliged to obey the Grand Elder!

Now that she was here with several elders to surround her, the Grand Elder instantly grasped her intentions!

She wanted to rebel! In fact, the Grand Elder had long suspected her disloyalty to the sect but lacked proof.

"Heh heh, Grand Elder, let’s lay our cards on the table. You’ve wanted to kill me all this time, haven’t you? We won’t be polite today either. Your Divine Soul Power is more than enough to enhance our strength. Rest assured, after your death, I’ll rebuild the Zi Wei Sect. In a way, your death is a contribution to the Zi Wei Sect!" the old woman chuckled sinisterly.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder’s expression turned cold, "Hmph, do you all intend to follow her in her villainy? The Sect Master treated you well!"

She shouted harshly at the other elders.

However, these elders, who had lived countless years, having chosen their sides, would not feel guilty and abandon their choices because of a few words from the Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, you’re right. The Sect Master did treat us well. But with the Sect Master’s life uncertain, should we follow you to doom along with the Zi Wei Sect? I must say, your views are too outdated. Elder Chen is right; you should make your final contribution to our Zi Wei Sect!" one of the elders said.

Upon hearing this, the other elders nodded slightly, indicating almost all had betrayed the Grand Elder.

"Haha, how ironic that after not making a move for over a century, my first act is against my own people!"

With that, the Grand Elder’s momentum surged, and finally, she threw away her cane, transforming into the image of a middle-aged beauty!

This was her true appearance!

Having made their decision, the other elders acted immediately, fearing any delay could lead to unforeseen consequences! Despite surrounding her, the Grand Elder was highly skilled, with many ways to escape. They weren’t confident they could kill her!

If she managed to escape, the other elders wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.
