Novel Full Chapter 1058 - Doomed
The people of the Zhang family came to their senses and quickly helped Zhang Yuhong out of the room.
"Wait, he's staying too," said Ling Chuxi when she saw someone trying to help Zhang Yuhong, who was lying on the ground like a pile of mud.
Zhang Shizhao's heart trembled. It seemed that he was doomed this time. If he had known this would happen, he would have restrained him. Alas, it was too late to regret.
The guard looked at Zhang Shizhao hesitantly. When he saw how miserable the master looked, the guard eventually put back down Zhang Yuhong.
"You should come in too," said Ling Chuxi to Yue Qingjie, who had been hiding outside and did not know whether to stay or go.
Yue Qingjie sighed. Zhang Shizhao had taken care of him when he was at his wit's end. He could not just leave, so he also entered the hall.
Zhang Shizhao looked apologetically at Yue Qingjie. He felt a little guilty. Originally, other people had come to rely on him when they were at their wit's end. Who would have thought that they would be implicated so quickly?
"Golden Pill Sect's Zhang family, 17th generation's great-grandson, Zhang Shizhao, and unfilial son, Zhang Yuhong greet Sect Leader, Elder Su, and fellow disciples." When the others had already gone far away, Zhang Shizhao saluted Ling Chuxi and the others with the sect's etiquette, desperately winking at Zhang Yuhong at the same time.
"Greetings... greetings, Sect Leader." This time, Zhang Yuhong finally came to a slight realization and paid his respects too.
Zhang Yuhong felt as if he was struck by lightning. She was actually the Sect Leader of Golden Pill Sect. No wonder his sword technique, which he thought was top-notch, could not withstand a single blow from them.
He had been so proud of himself, always proclaiming to be a descendent of a great sect. Who would have thought that the people standing in front of him were the sect leader and elder? He had made such a fool of himself by daring to offend the sect leader? What crime had he committed now, according to the sect rules? Zhang Yuhong was so scared that his lips turned pale. He was so regretful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
If it was someone else, they might not have been so afraid of a sect that had just been rebuilt after getting destroyed thousands of years before. But he had already witnessed the might of Ling Chuxi, Gongxi Kuangdao, and the others. He also knew that the Zhang family alone could not afford to provoke them. Moreover, this was Golden Pill Sect, the Golden Pill Sect that he had always looked up to.
"Zhang Shizhao, seems like you still remember your roots with Golden Pill Sect. Our Golden Pill Sect was established on medical techniques to save lives and help the wounded. But look at you, using the name of the sect to commit crimes in Qianzhong Ridge. How could you, the strong, prey on the weak. You're ruining the name of our sect. Zhang Shizhao, do you know your crime?" Su Yizhi angrily rebuked.
"Elder Su, please listen to me. Back then, my Zhang family was also forced to come to Qianzhong Ridge. Although we used the sect's great reputation to get connections with disciples of other sects, it is because of that that we were able to stand firm in the Qianzhong Ridge. However, we never dared to call ourselves Golden Pill Sect, nor did we dare to ruin the name of the sect. We didn't even dare to use the sect's medical skills, for fear of being seen through by others. As for doing evil, if you want to survive in such a place, could you still rely on virtue to convince others?" Zhang Shizhao smiled bitterly as he explained.
"You still dare to quibble? Then what about him? Is it false then that he uses his power to bully others, has a lecherous nature, and plunders the women of the people? Is it false then that Golden Pill Sect's secret medical skills hurt people and cripple them? Even just now, he dared to use the name of the sect and take advantage of me. How do you explain that?"
