Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-One

Respected Master Maoqin said, "Since the Sect Hierarch and the other respected masters are dead, to avoid chaos, according to the rules of our Serpent Witch Sect, we should have the most powerful and highest-ranking Zunzhe take the Sect Hierarch's place. We must also seal off the entire Serpent Witch Sect, forbidding others to enter or leave and preventing any news from spreading until the Sect is stable. Gedanwei, Bug-Poison Master, the two of you come with me, and these two people, detain them first and check their background."

Respected Master Maoqin turned on them in an instant, issuing orders with a cold face.

The authority of Respected Master Maoqin in the Serpent Witch Sect was something Gedanwei, that idiotic Young Master, could not compare with.

Immediately, several people stepped out from behind Respected Master Maoqin, ready to take Gedanwei and the others away.

Gedanwei's eyes bulged, fury causing the Three Corpse Spirits to leap angrily within him. It was bad enough being ordered around like a dog by Long Xiaoshan on the road, but damn it, upon returning to the Serpent Witch Sect, before he could even speak a few words, his own subordinates had rebelled.

He pointed at Respected Master Maoqin and shouted, "What are you trying to do? My father's body is not even cold yet, and you want to take over the Serpent Witch Sect, audacious! Impudent! I am the rightful Young Master of the Serpent Witch Sect, how dare you lay a hand on me."

Faced with Gedanwei's pointing, Respected Master Maoqin's expression remained unchanged as he said dismissively, "What do you mean 'take over the Serpent Witch Sect'? The Serpent Witch Sect does not belong to any one person, it is formed by us who believe in the Snake God. Now that the Snake Spirit Zunzhe is dead, it is natural to let a capable person take over. You, this good-for-nothing, what ability do you have to lead the Serpent Witch Sect? Take him away!"

Two men rushed up and grabbed Gedanwei.

Gedanwei struggled a bit but was quickly subdued by the two men.

"Bug-Poison Master, you, what should you do should be quite clear," said Respected Master Maoqin, looking confident as he addressed Bug-Poison Master. Lan Wan'er was quite powerful after all, and with her enchanting beauty, Respected Master Maoqin was not keen on destroying such a flower if it could be avoided. It's best to subdue an underling who is both strong and beautiful, and right now, the Serpent Witch Sect was in dire need of powerful members.

It was as if Lan Wan'er had not heard Respected Master Maoqin, as she flicked two black lights from her fingers.

They shot into the bodies of the two Serpent Witch Sect men who were holding Gedanwei.

The two Serpent Witch Sect men screamed pitifully and fell to the ground, and Gedanwei broke free from their grasp, quickly running to Lan Wan'er's side and saying, "Thank you, master."

"Even when beating a dog, one must look at the owner. Though you are just my dog, only I can beat you, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can discipline you," Lan Wan'er said coquettishly.

Gedanwei couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, his nose tingling with the urge to cry, and then he immediately cursed himself for having a weak spine, for feeling pleasure in being treated like a dog.

Respected Master Maoqin was very close to them and heard everything they said clearly.

His face was full of confusion; Gedanwei actually called Lan Wan'er master, and Lan Wan'er treated Gedanwei like a dog. Was Gedanwei out of his mind? No matter what, he was still the Young Master of the Serpent Witch Sect, and even with the death of the Snake Spirit Zunzhe, he shouldn't be so lowly.

Such shameless behavior made him despise Gedanwei even more. The man was simply a disgrace to the Serpent Witch Sect.

He said loudly, "You all heard it, this guy is utterly despicable, actually calling a woman his master. Someone like this has no right to be our Serpent Witch Sect's Young Master."

"Yes, too despicable, such a person in our Serpent Witch Sect is definitely a blasphemy to the Snake God."

"I think we should just expel this trash from the Serpent Witch Sect."

"Respected Master Maoqin, I support you in leading the Serpent Witch Sect."

A large group of people stood up. Initially hesitant to support Respected Master Maoqin, those members of the Serpent Witch Sect who were still undecided eventually sided with him after hearing Gedanwei call Lan Wan'er "Master." They certainly didn't want a lowlife like Gedanwei to become the Sect Hierarch.

Respected Master Maoqin received the support of the Serpent Witch Sect members, and a look of pride surfaced on his aged face.

Now that everyone supported him, it was a done deal for him to take control of the Serpent Witch Sect.

Just as he was feeling proud, two people on the ground let out screams of agony. Blood flowed from their seven orifices, their struggles ceased, and numerous bugs crawled out from within them. Their deaths were particularly gruesome.

The outburst from Respected Master Maoqin was furious—those two were his trusted subordinates. Lan Wan'er had acted ruthlessly, killing both of his confidants in one fell swoop.

This was an outright declaration of hostilities.

He had intended to subjugate this woman, but now that his confidants were killed, if he didn't punish her, who else would be willing to serve him.

Enraged, he bellowed, "You dare to kill them, you're seeking death."

Lan Wan'er said with a smile, "Well, if your dogs bite mine, of course I'll beat them to death with a stick. Moreover, I'm also a Zunzhe of the Serpent Witch Sect, we have the same status. What right do you have to command me?"

Respected Master Maoqin's face darkened as he said, "Of course I have the right. Once the Sect Hierarch is dead, I become the strongest in the Serpent Witch Sect, fully capable of acting in lieu of the Hierarch's authority."

"Oh, just because you say you're the strongest, you are? Well, I say I'm the strongest, so does that make me the Sect Hierarch of the Serpent Witch Sect?" Lan Wan'er replied.

"You, a little girl, better watch your words or you might bite your own tongue," Respected Master Maoqin replied disdainfully.

"I think it's you who's truly ancient, one foot already in the grave. As soon as you heard the Sect Hierarch was dead, you couldn't wait to jump out. You're in such a rush, aren't you afraid your old bones will fall apart?" Lan Wan'er retorted sharply.

Respected Master Maoqin was no match for Lan Wan'er, a little demoness, in a war of words.

His face flushed with anger, turning from green to white, as his rage transformed into a murderous intent, "You little hussy, I would have given you a chance to live, but you did not cherish it. Don't regret it when you descend to the Yellow Springs."

Respected Master Maoqin instantly formed a Curse Incantation, and a surge of black qi burst forth, transforming into a gigantic black snake that roared toward Lan Wan'er, its mouth wide, preparing to bite.

Lan Wan'er quickly leaped backward, releasing a swarm of Gu Insects with a wave of her hand.

A dense mass of Gu Insects charged at the large snake, devouring the black qi.

The battle between the black qi snake and Gu Insects raged in the air for a moment, then Respected Master Maoqin fiercely stomped the ground, his eyes emitting foot-long green beams. Accompanied by deep growls from his throat, the black snake rolled and swelled to several times its size with a boom!

The black snake broke through the blockade of Gu Insects and struck towards Lan Wan'er. Frantically, she rolled on the ground.

Barely avoiding the large snake, Respected Master Maoqin snickered, using Witchcraft to incessantly direct the black qi snake at Lan Wan'er, forcing her to dodge and weave constantly.

Several times, she narrowly escaped being swallowed by the black snake. Long Xiaoshan squinted his eyes, noting that Lan Wan'er seemed unable to withstand Respected Master Maoqin. His strength surpassed those Zunzhes of the Serpent Witch Sect Long Xiaoshan had previously encountered, only slightly weaker than Snake Spirit Zunzhe.
