Chapter 132: Conceded, Conceded, Conceded!
Chen Yuyi spoke, and the Daluo Star Disk flew out. It spun rapidly in the air, and within moments, it had absorbed all the poisonous smoke.
The Daluo Star Disk possessed supreme astral power and the capacity to encompass all things; naturally, it could consume such toxins.
The Young Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect and his followers had been waiting for death in despair, but now their eyes widened, hope rekindled in their hearts. Did this mean they wouldn't be poisoned to death?
The way they looked at Chen Yuyi changed. Previously, they had desperately wanted this man killed by their Sect Master, but now, he looked like their savior. As for their Sect Master, their hearts were filled with resentment, and even the Young Sect Master felt nothing but hatred for his own father. To someone who had tried to poison them, they now viewed him as an enemy.
Chen Yuyi smiled lightly at the Medicine King Sect Master, "Can you still poison me now?"
The Sect Master retreated repeatedly, his face full of terror, "What is this thing?"
"If you can have a flying sword, why can’t I have something decent? Besides, this object is specifically designed to break your cultivation!"
As Chen Yuyi spoke, he flicked his hand, and the Daluo Star Disk flew above the Sect Master’s head. "Your cultivation is indeed quite good; it is enough to nourish my Daluo Star Disk!"
Panic-stricken, the Sect Master found himself unable to move, marveling at the magical nature of the star disk. However, upon hearing Chen Yuyi’s words, he felt his internal cultivation gradually draining away and nearly lost his mind. His cultivation, painstakingly honed over many years, was becoming someone else's nourishment?
What followed was beyond his comprehension. The Daluo Star Disk spun rapidly, draining his inner cultivation until it was completely empty.
"Although your cultivation is the strongest I have encountered, you are still like an ant before me. You may go in peace now!"
After his power was absorbed by the Daluo Star Disk, the Sect Master aged rapidly. He could no longer move; once his cultivation was gone, he reached the end of his life, dying of sheer terror and collapse.
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence until the moment the Sect Master collapsed.
The Young Sect Master, enduring immense pain, crawled toward Chen Yuyi like a dog, followed by the others. "Please, Immortal Master, spare our lives!"
Having narrowly escaped death by poison, their desire to survive was self-evident. In the eyes of the remaining members of the Medicine King Sect, what else could Chen Yuyi be if not an Immortal Master?
Chen Yuyi glanced at them indifferently, "I have killed your Sect Master. Do you submit?"
"We submit! We submit! We submit!" the Young Sect Master and the others trembled, repeatedly exclaiming, "Our Sect Master disregarded our lives, and the Immortal Master saved us. We are willing to serve you like beasts of burden to repay your kindness."
Chen Yuyi asked again, "I said I could destroy your Medicine King Sect. Do you believe me now?"
"We believe! We believe! We believe!" the group, including the Young Sect Master, kowtowed like pounding garlic, "With the power of the Immortal Master, let alone one Medicine King Sect, even if you wanted to destroy all the sects in the world, we would have no doubt!"
Chen Yuyi nodded slightly. Since they had begged for mercy, there was no need to kill them. Moreover, the display of power today had already terrified them; from now on, they would revere him as a god.
He looked faintly at the Young Sect Master, "Do you still harbor thoughts of avenging your father?"
The Young Sect Master was terrified, knocking his head against the floor until it bled, "I dare not, I dare not! Please, Immortal Master, spare me. My father deserved his fate; he even tried to kill his own son. You were merely upholding justice!"
"I have made you a cripple; do you have any grievances?" Chen Yuyi asked, taking a step forward.
"It was I who offended the Immortal Master; I deserve the punishment. You spared my life, and I am already deeply grateful."
"Very well. In that case, I shall spare your lives!" Chen Yuyi said calmly, his hands behind his back.
Upon hearing this, the Young Sect Master and the others felt as if they had survived death once more, kowtowing even more fervently, "Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"
At this moment, Ye Mei arrived in the hall, followed by the Huang siblings. Since she had heard no further movement from the hall, she had been unable to suppress her curiosity. The Huang siblings, after their initial fear had subsided, grew a bit bolder and followed her in.
Just as they stepped into the hall, they witnessed the scene of the Medicine King Sect members kneeling and begging for mercy.
"He truly forced the entire Medicine King Sect to kneel and beg for mercy, all by himself!"
In Ye Mei's eyes, the Medicine King Sect was effectively destroyed. She was deeply shocked; her young mistress truly had a discerning eye for talent. It was laughable that she had previously doubted her mistress's judgment. She could no longer imagine just how powerful this man was.
The Huang siblings were supporting each other as they walked in. They stood as if frozen, their legs trembling uncontrollably. Hearing the others address Chen Yuyi as "Immortal Master," their knees went weak, and they, too, knelt in his direction.
Chen Yuyi glanced at them but said nothing. He then turned to the Young Sect Master, "Since I have spared your lives, help me clean up the sect. I may be staying here for a few days."
Hearing this, the high-ranking deacons and elders scurried off to organize the remaining disciples for the cleanup. Before long, the hall was spotless.
Chen Yuyi sat in the Sect Master's seat at the head of the hall. The Young Sect Master, Yao Wuji, and the others did not dare to sit, all kneeling on either side, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Ye Mei stood by Chen Yuyi’s side, and the Huang siblings were called over. Huang Yuanbo did not dare to raise his head before Chen Yuyi, but deep inside, he felt as if he had stumbled upon a great treasure.
Huang Yali had lost all the arrogance she displayed when they first met Chen Yuyi. She looked like someone who had just woken from a nightmare—pitiful, evasive, and not daring to look at him. She was completely cowed by his divine might.
Huang Yuanbo signaled her, and they both knelt before Chen Yuyi, "Chen—Immortal Master, we were blind and failed to recognize your greatness. My sister offended you previously; we beg you not to hold a grudge against those of lesser standing and forgive her ignorance!"
Huang Yali, now jolted into realization, buried her head deep against the floor, "I beg Immortal Master Chen for forgiveness!"
Chen Yuyi smiled slightly, looking at the two of them, "It is a form of fate that you were able to accompany me to the Medicine King Sect. Rise."
The Huang siblings let out a sigh of relief, though they still did not dare to stand.
Ye Mei said softly, "Since Mr. Chen has told you to rise, get up quickly!" Although she felt Chen Yuyi was an existence akin to an Immortal Master and worshipped him endlessly, she continued to call him "Mr. Chen" to show her closeness.
The Huang siblings scrambled to their feet.
Chen Yuyi smiled and said, "You are not from the Medicine King Sect; you do not need to be like this toward me, Brother Huang!" He addressed Huang Yuanbo with a playful tone.
Huang Yuanbo was so startled by the address that he nearly knelt again, "Immortal Master Chen, please just call me by my name. I cannot bear such a title!"
"Very well, there is no need to be so nervous in front of me. Haven't you always wanted to cure your ailment?"
Huang Yuanbo’s heart leaped with joy. With this man's incredible abilities, surely he had a way to cure such a condition. He trembled with excitement, "I have a medicinal pill here. Take it, and it will surely restore your vigor." Chen Yuyi smiled and produced a pill. Seeing that Huang Yuanbo was not a bad person, he did not mind helping him resolve his hidden affliction.
Huang Yuanbo was so overwhelmed he was momentarily stunned. Seeing him frozen, Ye Mei urged, "Hurry and accept the pill from Mr. Chen!" She knew full well how miraculous the pills Chen Yuyi produced were.
Huang Yuanbo snapped back to reality, receiving the pill respectfully as if it were a precious treasure.
"Since you two have what you came for, you should return. This place is no longer suitable for you. Also, do not spread word of what you saw today to the outside world. That is all."
After giving him the pill, Chen Yuyi spoke with a stern tone. The Huang siblings knelt once more, then hurriedly left the mountain, not daring to delay.
Chen Yuyi dismissed the rest of the Medicine King Sect members, leaving only the Young Sect Master, Yao Wuji.
"Where is the Medicine King Sect's Secret Vault?" Chen Yuyi asked, looking at Yao Wuji. This was the main reason he had spared the Young Sect Master's life.
Yao Wuji paused. Very few knew of the Secret Vault; even within the sect, only senior elders knew of it, and even they had never entered. This man was not of their sect, so how did he know of its existence?
However, there was no need to overthink it. Since he was an Immortal Master, he naturally possessed knowledge others did not. Besides, whether the Medicine King Sect would continue to exist now depended entirely on this man's word.
"Please, follow me, Immortal Master!"
Though his injuries were severe, the Medicine King Sect had an abundance of healing remedies. Chen Yuyi had allowed him to treat himself earlier, and being no ordinary person, his mobility was not hindered.
"Ye Mei, you are in charge of reorganizing the Medicine King Sect. I leave the task of taking them over to you," Chen Yuyi said.
Ye Mei was stunned, but Chen Yuyi had already followed Yao Wuji to find the Secret Vault.
They arrived at the back of the mountain. First, Yao Wuji led Chen Yuyi through a storehouse, which was densely packed with countless medicinal herbs.
Chen Yuyi stopped in his tracks.
