Chapter 859: The Scammed Wen Chengyu

At this moment.

Zheng Wu, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, had his moment of glory.

And the followers of Zheng Wu from the Sansheng Sect had long since uncovered the secrets of the island.

They too had become true believers.

However.

Just as Zheng Wu's aura erupted, not far from him.

Zhao Qi, who had been beaten to a pulp, was lying in a pigsty.

Now, he was in charge of the only two pigs on the island.

Filled with resentment and a desire to escape, he had also become much wiser, knowing that with his current level of cultivation, he couldn't possibly escape this cursed place.

So he had been lying low in the pigsty, tending to the pigs, waiting for the next opportunity to flee.

At this moment, the disheveled Zhao Qi suddenly sat up in the pigsty and looked up at the sky.

His expression shifted from initial doubt to eventual delight.

His whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"Hahahaha!"

"Ancestor, it's the ancestor's aura, hahaha!"

"I knew it, the Sansheng Sect would never abandon me. I am indeed the ancestor's most beloved disciple, the most outstanding disciple of the Sansheng Sect."

"The ancestor's appearance must be to rescue me!"

Zhao Qi spat out a mouthful of pig hair and laughed maniacally at the sky.

"Zhao Qi, oh Zhao Qi, you truly are a man destined for great things. After enduring humiliation and lying low for so many days, you've finally got your chance to turn the tables."

"If the ancestor knew of the grievances I've suffered during this time, he would surely be furious and seek vengeance for me."

"Especially that damned skeleton and that stinking dung carrier. You may be strong, but can you be stronger than our ancestor? The ancestor will surely capture you and hand you over to me for some good old-fashioned torture."

Zhao Qi grew more and more excited.

Covered in pig feces, barefoot, and with half his buttocks exposed, he sprinted towards the direction of Zheng Wu's aura.

Freedom was within reach.

Revenge was within reach.

Zhao Qi's heart was blooming with joy.

As he got closer, perhaps due to his familiarity with the members of the Sansheng Sect, he quickly sensed the auras of others besides Zheng Wu.

"Hahahaha, what a powerful lineup!"

"Not only has the ancestor come, but also the elders, protectors, and deacons of the Sansheng Sect..."

"With such a lineup, tsk tsk... they can sweep through anything!"

"Are they all here to rescue me?"

"I, Zhao Qi, am indeed too important!"

Zhao Qi grew more and more excited, taking two steps at a time as he rushed forward.

But when he got close enough to see.

He was utterly dumbfounded.

"One, two, three!"

"Heave ho, heave ho!"

"One, two, three!"

"Heave ho, heave ho!"

Having just begun to touch upon the Dao of Dung, Zheng Wu, after recovering, was working even harder. Leading a group of Sansheng Sect elites, he was shirtless, with a lump of dung in his left hand and a lump of mud in his right, digging pits and carrying dung in unison, chanting slogans.

This scene.

Made Zhao Qi, who had been ecstatic just moments ago, feel as if his heart had turned to ash, collapsing to the ground in despair.

It's over.

Totally screwed.

Even the ancestor has become a dung carrier.

Just how terrifying must the people on this island be!

It was only at this moment that Zhao Qi realized the truth: an arm can't twist a leg.

A few days later.

Zheng Wu and his pit-digging crew gained many new helpers.

They were the sect leader of the Sansheng Sect and a group of elders.

Half a month later.

Led by the sect leader of the Sansheng Sect and joined by other elders, an order was issued throughout the Sansheng Sect.

The Sansheng Sect—disbanded on the spot!

This news shocked the other sects and the two great Daoist sects within the Nine Realms.

A prestigious Daoist sect.

With centuries of heritage.

Just like that, disbanded without warning?

Are you kidding?

As a result, many forces began to investigate in secret, but despite many clues, the investigations led to dead ends, as if an invisible hand had forcefully erased all traces.

Especially Wen Chengyu, who was still at the Fengyun Sect. Despite his usually calm demeanor, he couldn't help but spit out blood in anger upon hearing the news.

The reason he had chosen to cooperate with the Sansheng Sect was precisely because of their heritage and methods.

The Sansheng Sect had provided him with resources, acted on his behalf, and protected him during his awakening period.

And after his awakening, he would become the guest elder of the Sansheng Sect, overseeing the sect.

It was a mutually beneficial cooperation, a win-win situation.

Wen Chengyu was now at a critical moment in his awakening, with a high risk of exposure and a massive need for resources.

He never expected that at such a crucial moment, the Sansheng Sect would suddenly disband.

This was just too damn ridiculous.

Even more ridiculous was that, in order to establish a good foundation of trust for their cooperation, both parties had made heavenly oaths.

Wen Chengyu had sworn: Under any circumstances, he would only cooperate with the Sansheng Sect, and after successfully awakening, he would definitely become the guest elder of the Sansheng Sect. Unless the Sansheng Sect, within its capabilities, did not meet his demands.

The Sansheng Sect had sworn: Under any circumstances, the Sansheng Sect would do its best to provide Wen Chengyu with the resources and all conveniences needed for his awakening. However, there was an additional condition: unless the Sansheng Sect disbanded. After all, if disbanded, the Sansheng Sect would no longer have the ability to meet Wen Chengyu's awakening needs.

Due to the existence of the oath, it now meant that not only would he not receive the resources he needed, but he also couldn't continue to cooperate with other Daoist sects.

After all, the only additional condition for him to break the heavenly oath was if the Sansheng Sect did not meet his demands. He could not betray the oath for any other reason, including the disbandment of the Sansheng Sect.

Although he had thought at the time that there were some loopholes in the oath, for Wen Chengyu at that moment, nothing else mattered as long as his awakening needs were met.

But who the hell could have known that they would actually disband!

Wen Chengyu, who usually had an extremely calm demeanor, now had a dark face. In his rage, he had slaughtered half of the Fengyun Sect.

Standing on a pile of corpses, his hands trembling, he took out a blood-stained jade slip.

"Zheng Wu, what exactly do you mean by this?"

"I don't care what your reasons are. If you don't clean up this mess, I, Wen Chengyu, will be at odds with your Sansheng Sect. Once I regain my cultivation, don't expect any favors from me."

The jade slip flashed with light.

Clearly.

The message had been sent.

After a while, the jade slip flickered again.

The anxious and scammed Wen Chengyu hurriedly picked up the jade slip.

A careless voice reached Wen Chengyu's ears, making his internal organs tremble with anger.

"Idiot, do you really think you're that important?"

"What favors? This dung master doesn't need a damn thing from you..."

Hearing this, Wen Chengyu's face twisted in rage. Just as he was about to send a reply through the jade slip, he noticed that the slip had dimmed.

Clearly.

The other side had completely severed their connection.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Wen Chengyu crushed the jade slip into powder and let out a long howl, causing countless surrounding buildings to explode into fragments.

"Why, just why?"
