Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Rules Are Worthless

Soon enough, everyone already turned their eyes away, seemingly waiting for the next issue.

Zhao Wu Chui also said nothing else.

Being forced to restrain himself, Zhao Wu Chui inner rage was boiling.

As a Virtualized realm martial cultivator, aside from the Grand Elder and the sect master, he was the strongest person in this sect.

But he was being forced to endure this kind of humiliation.

Begrudgingly, he spoke: “Hallmaster Ye, let’s begin the meeting, first thing first, how about we tell Hallmaster Qi about that event?”

“I would very much like to know how our Hallmaster Qi plans on dealing with this!”

Hearing that, Ye Ying Mei silently sighed.

She really doesn’t want to pick a fight with Qi Yan at this point in time.

But since it has already happened, what needs to come has to come.

“It’s like this, Hallmaster Qi, during your recent absence at the sect, your subordinates were involved in a serious mistake” Ye Ying Mei sorted out her words and started to speak.

“What, we’re all people of a sect here, what happened that we can’t make big matters small and small matters into nothing?” Gu Qing Shan nonchalantly spoke.

“If it was anything else, I’d also like to turn a blind eye, but this is related to a taboo in the sect, so I have to tell you” Ye Ying Mei smiled bitterly.

Zhao Wu Chui cut in and glared at Gu Qing Shan: “This isn’t just ‘telling you’, the matters involved are too serious that it irreversibly affected the sect, enough that we can’t help but deal with it”

“Hallmaster Qi, I hope that you can follow the sect’s rules and deal with this fairly”

Saying so, Zhao Wu Chui smirked in satisfaction.

“Say it” Gu Qing Shan said.

Ye Ying Mei waved her hand: “Bring them in”

Following her gesture, 7-8 cultivators flew down the platform.

A few moments later, two cultivators bound by Spirit Restraints were led up the platform.

Seeing Qi Yan, the two cultivators called out like they just met their savior.

“Hallmaster, please save us!”

They were both men from Zwei Wei Hall.

Furthermore, close aides of Qi Yan.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes went cold, asking: “These are my men, what do you want to say, Ying Mei sis?”

Ye Ying Mei replied: “Yesterday, they fought each other over a maid. That maid used the time that they didn’t pay attention to destroy a formation, almost leading to the collapse of an entire block”

“It was only about 5 minutes left until Danger Hour, luckily the three formation users of the sect were all present and quickly went to work, managing to patch the quarantine formation again”

Gu Qing Shan scowled.

Maid.

Formation

Three formation users——- which means Guang Yang sect has 3 other formation users.

“Fighting over a maid…”

Gu Qing Shan looked over to his subordinates and smirked.

“Young master” one of the subordinates changed the way he addressed him, “it’s not as serious as they claim it was, we managed to catch Chu Liu right as that happened”

Chu Liu!

Perfect!

It really was the maid who knew about formations.

She is the key to fixing the Two-world warp formation.

She was also said to be a nice girl.

If that’s the case, as long as he saves her, she’ll probably be more than happy to cooperate with me and escape from this world.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking that.

He was still silently staring at his subordinates with a calm and cold expression.

When the other subordinate saw that he didn’t react, he hurriedly spoke: “Young master, we already made up for it”

Zhao Wu Chui scoffed: “Huk! You call that making up for it? Even if you’ve already killed her, The damage is already done”

Killed her.

Killed her.

Killed her.

Chu Liu is dead…

Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank, but his expression remained blank.

Qing Rou and Wan Er started trembling, their tears couldn’t help falling.

As maid, they aren’t afraid of showing such a reaction to others.

“So you—– killed her?”

Gu Qing Shan finally spoke up.

The two subordinates hurriedly nodded.

One of them said: “The perpetrator already paid for it with her life, they have no reason to punish us, young master!”

The other followed up: “That’s right, young master, you have to stand up for us!”

Zhao Wu Chui spoke: “Qi Yan, this isn’t a small matter, you of all people should understand just how serious this is, the formation is the one thing we cannot afford to take lightly”

“But they were only two common formations” one of the subordinates bravely spoke up.

“No matter who it is, no one is allowed to affect the formations in the sect, even if they are common formations” Ye Ying Mei declared.

She then emphasized: “The formation is related to the safety of our entire sect, in the small chance that it fails and attracts the realm demon, our entire sect will go down with it”

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes for a few moments to think, saying: “Summon Wu San, I want to ask him clearly about what happened”

The two Hallmasters exchanged looks and nodded.

It’s normal for him to want to make things clear.

Qi Yan was always a distrusting person, he won’t simply believe everything you tell him.

The enforcer cultivators quickly left.

A few moments later, a fat cultivator came to the platform.

Slowly running towards Gu Qing Shan, he ceremoniously knelt and bowed with his head to the ground.

“You summoned, master?” Wu San smiled flatteringly.

The cultivators around all looked at him in disdain.

“Hm, tell me clearly everything that happened” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

He then added: “This time, I want to know the entire truth, don’t hide anything from me”

The two Hallmasters’ expression slightly twitched at that.

At first, Wu San already started to show a face full of fury, but as he heard the second part of it, this expression changed.

It seems young master intends to do something else this time, I misunderstood.

“Understood, master. It was like this…”

He told everything from start to end as accurately as possible.

The truth was just as Ye Ying Mei told him.

Ye Ying Mei spoke: “According to the rules of our sect, the two of them will have their cultivation destroyed and turned into servants, never to set another foot into Zwei Wei Hall”

“Hallmaster Qi, what do you think we should do?” Zhao Wu Chui asked a bit gleefully.

Looking at Gu Qing Shan, he recited the prepared lines in his mind.

If Qi Yan decides to stand up for his subordinates, both myself and Ye Ying Mei will both refute, getting Qi Yan into a situation where he can’t step down.

Making Qi Yan lose face in front of Rakshasa’s Daughter will definitely infuriate him.

But there’s no way Qi Yan can overturn it, because both reasoning and feeling are on their side.

Zhao Wu Chui silently clenched his fist, waiting for Qi Yan’s reaction.

Everyone else also looked to Qi Yan, wanting to see how he reacts.

Only to see Gu Qing Shan silently tilting his head up, rubbing the wounds on his face.

“I’ve been in a bad mood recently” he said.

The two Hallmasters squinted their eyes.

Does he want to rile things up again?

Can’t you just stop already?

“Hallmaster Qi—-” Ye Ying Mei spoke up.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand to cut her off, gesturing that she doesn’t need to say anything.

He stood up and walked in front of his subordinates.

“That maid, what was she called?” he turned around and asked.

“Chu Liu” Qing Rou answered.

“Ah, yes, Chu Liu”

Gu Qing Shan then turned to his subordinates and softly asked: “What did I say when I gave her to you?”

The two subordinates exchanged looks, a bit anxious.

They couldn’t tell what the young master wanted to say at all.

“Young master, you said that she was your maid, but we’ve been doing a good job so you will give her to us to do as we please” one of them answered.

Gu Qing Shan turned to the other subordinate, asking: “Did I say that?”

The other subordinate hurriedly answered: “You did, young master”

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

He came behind the two of them, patting the Spirit Restraints they had on.

This is the kind used to bind disciples who committed wrongdoings, limiting their powers and prevent escape.

This type of Spirit Restraints are much simpler than the ones used on the maids.

At least, it won’t bind them tighter during Danger Hour, and doesn’t contain the myriads of torture spells and mechanisms that the other one has.

Gu Qing Shan coldly spoke: “I don’t care about any rules that you might’ve violated in the sect”

He two subordinates’ expression loosened.

The rest of the cultivators there silently thought, sure enough.

The white fox only silently watched this.

Zhao Wu Chui immediately stood up: “Qi Yan, I know what you’re thinking, but the results of their actions are too severe, even you can’t play favorites with them this time”

“Who said I wanted to play favorites with them?” Gu Qing Shan asked back in surprise.

“If you playing favorites——”

When Zhao Wu Chui wanted to follow up, he noticed it wasn’t as he expected and swallowed back his words.

He couldn’t do anything but glare at Gu Qing Shan, waiting for his next words.

“I only said that the rules of the sect are not important—– at least, for my Zwei Wei Hall, it really isn’t important”

Gu Qing Shan lightly glanced over Zhao Wu Chui and said.

The two subordinates gleefully looked up.

Sure enough, our young master is the coolest.

The other two Hallmasters’ faces were trampled on by Qi Yan in front of everybody.

On the other side.

Ye Ying Mei’s expression was blank as water.

Zhao Wu Chui already couldn’t contain his anger anymore.

He wanted to have a good and long ‘talk’ with Qi Yan right here and now.

You bastard, Qi Yan, always doing what you like, you really——

While Zhao Wu Chui was thinking, Qi Yan already spoke up again.

“Sword”

“Yes, master” Shannu answered.

A sword flew into Qi Yan’s hand.

Cold sword qi flashed.

Two bodies fell to the ground.

Holding one head in each hand, Qi Yan stood there, undisturbed.

He pulled both heads up to face himself.

“Who gave you the confidence to believe that you’re something special?”

Clunk!

Clunk!

The two heads were dropped.

A sword danced in the air before stopping in front of Shannu.

Shannu put the sword away.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Wu Chui stared at Gu Qing Shan then hesitantly asked: “You—- why did you do that?”

Ye Ying Mei also spoke: “According to the rules of the sect, they should have only been demoted to servants, what do you mean by this, Hallmaster Qi?”

“There is no need to talk about something like rules of the sect in front of me”

Gu Qing Shan took his fan out, spreads it and started fanning himself as he paced back to his seat.

—-right after killing someone, he took out a such pictured fan and started acting like nothing special happened right away.

This nonchalance really caused the disciples to become speechless.

“To save themselves, they dared to kill my maids as a scapegoat, so I’m annoyed”

While saying so, Gu Qing Shan had already returned to his seat.

Zhao Wu Chui couldn’t help but refuted: “Don’t you also kill a lot of maids?”

“I can kill them, but others can’t”

“Why?”

“Because these maids are my property, only I get to decide what happens to them”

Gu Qing Shan casually answered.

At this time, Qing Rou stepped forward, knelt down and held the cup of tea up to Gu Qing Shan’s lip for him.

Gu Qing Shan took a sip.

Casually, he also took Qing Rou’s chin and asked softly: “Isn’t that right, Qing Rou?”

“Yes, young master” Qing Rou answered in a low voice.

Ye Ying Mei spoke: “The rules of the sect…”

She couldn’t say anything else.

The people at fault already got killed on the spot.

Is talking about rules really going to be useful at this point?

This Qi Yan really doesn’t care at all about the sect, no matter who it is, if they tried violating his benefits——– even if it’s the smallest bit of benefits that he himself doesn’t care about, he won’t hesitate to show his poisonous fangs.

Qi Yan was simply such a person.

Merciless, cruel, anything for his own benefit.

People like these were like poisonous snakes, extremely scary once pushed to a corner.

Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui exchanged looks.

They both saw the anxiety and worry in each other’s eyes.
