This statement caused the three of them to freeze in shock. After all, the Flying Dagger Sect was considered a major sect, and according to their rules, disciples were forbidden from taking outside masters!
"Junior Sister, you..."
Wu Wenwen sneered and retorted, "It's just a casual pointer. What, the three Senior Brothers, are you going to report this to Master?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
A figure emerged from behind the curtain, wearing a bamboo hat and wielding a large saber. Seven flying daggers gleamed at his waist!
This person was their master, Ouyang Xie, an elder of the Flying Dagger Sect!
It was said that Ouyang Xie was a ruthless character, known in the martial world as the Poisonous Scorpion. He was a master assassin, feared by many, and adept at using various hidden weapons!
At this moment, Ouyang Xie looked at the two women opposite him with a benevolent smile!
"Ha, it's you two little rascals. What, unhappy with Master's arrangements and have other ideas? Come, come, let's have a good chat, our master and disciples!"
He made a gesture of invitation. Ouyang Xie's demeanor immediately left the two women bewildered. He appeared completely unblemished, as if he were as fond of them as ever.
However, they had just overheard their conversation about the plan!
If not for that, the two women would have been completely deceived by Ouyang Xie's act!
Sun Qianqian chuckled and said, "Master Ouyang, you raised us since we were children, and you taught us all our skills. But I just don't understand, why would you hide this from us and sell us to an outer elder of the Sacred Altar? In exchange for some protection, is that it?"
As soon as she spoke!
Everyone present gasped in shock, especially the three male disciples, who immediately became vigilant.
As for Ouyang Xie, he remained incredibly calm!
He looked at the two women and then at Su Han, chuckling, "Haha, I knew it, Sun Qianqian! You've always been a sharp and intelligent girl, you wouldn't confront your master without preparation. It seems you've found a very good backer, haven't you?"
He pointed at Su Han, smiling.
Sun Qianqian was inwardly terrified. After all, they had watched Ouyang Xie's strength grow since childhood; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him invincible!
As for Su Han, although he was also extremely powerful, they were uncertain about who was truly stronger.
However, things had reached this point, and they had no other choice but to trust Su Han this once and confront their master!
"Ha, silence means consent, very good! But let me tell you, from my perspective, this kid's bone age is only in his twenties. Even if a celestial being descended, he'd be at most mid-Emperor realm. As for me, I reached late-Emperor realm ten years ago, and now... I'm close to the peak of Emperor realm!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Xie looked at Su Han mockingly and shook his head!
"Alas, kid, you should have been a genius who stayed out of trouble. If you had kept a low profile, you might have achieved great things in the future. But unfortunately, you like to meddle in other people's business too much. Lost yourself in all those 'Brother' calls. Hmph, so now, you've actually made a fatal mistake! That is, entering this room!"
"Actually, you can take a look at this room now. The surrounding energy fluctuations will tell you that you've stepped into a trap. Hehe, besides flying daggers, the Flying Dagger Sect also excels at something else, and that's formations!"
"And I am the most skilled in formations within the Flying Dagger Sect! I can't imagine how you can escape my formations?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat became even more arrogant. He directly removed his hat, revealing his scarred face!
He looked at Su Han without any concern!
He then glanced at his two female disciples and said, "Wu Wenwen, Sun Qianqian, to be honest with you, I brought you back to the sect and taught you personally for this very day. Whether you like it or not, it makes no difference. It's better to think about the sect's kindness and not anger my outer elder, that's more important than anything!"
"Also, Master hasn't left you without options. If you are truly gifted, you can find an inner sect elder. Although you'll still be someone's pawn, it's different. There's still a sliver of possibility to continue cultivating! As for anything else, don't even think about it. You were originally from humble origins, and now I've simply picked you up and placed you on a higher platform!"
"This height was never meant for you, so accept your fate! As for you, kid, you must die here today. This is the price for sticking your neck out for others, hehe..."
As he spoke, Ouyang Xie gathered a ball of dark flame in his hand!
It was evident!
His power was immense. The moment the dark flame ignited, the surrounding formation immediately spewed out a large amount of poison, and simultaneously, Ouyang Xie's body began to move rapidly.
"This is a paralyzing agent. Don't worry, it has its benefits. It will make you numb to pain, and your reactions will be much slower. This is the most merciful way of killing I could think of! Since you're risking your life for my two disciples, I can only offer you a gentle death for now!"
Saying this, Ouyang Xie moved with incredible speed. In a short while, his body became a blur of afterimages!
Suddenly!
After circling several times, Ouyang Xie appeared behind Su Han and thrust a flying dagger towards him with great speed!
"Die!"
With a sinister look, Ouyang Xie was confident of his strike. After all, with his late-Emperor realm strength, dealing with a young man was effortless. Moreover, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he had used a paralyzing agent and employed a sneak attack!
Even so, Ouyang Xie felt a sense of unease. He didn't know why, but everything had gone so smoothly, yet he shouldn't feel this way!
However, suddenly!
The moment Ouyang Xie's strike connected with Su Han, he realized how terribly wrong he was!
"This..."
At this moment, Ouyang Xie's powerful strike, which was full of force, encountered an obstruction like a quagmire in the air, just ten centimeters away from Su Han. It was completely unable to break through, as if it were stuck by an invisible energy wall!
He couldn't even retreat!
"Master, what's happening?"
"This kid is courting death, daring to play dirty! Come on, let's all go together and take this kid down!"
