36 Conflict 1

Hearing this, Zi Hua knew that there was no going back, although the three first rate sects have pretty much the same power, Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect and Deep Sky Dragon Sect were slightly superior for none other than the fact that they have two, according to records, extremely powerful spirit beasts who could decimate Martial Kings in seconds.

Celestial Cloud Sect did not have such a protector who could possibly return in times of crisis, so they had always been envious, which due to that and some other factors led to the current situation after hearing of the Lightning Purple Phoenix's appearance.

When their disciples met each other, the Celestial Cloud Sect attacked the disciples of Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect since all they had to do was attack the elders' disciples to weaken its power, they didn't fear the Lightning Purple Phoenix since it had disappeared for a few millenniums before reappearing so who knew when it would feel like going back again.

Deep Sky Dragon Sect had always had good relations with Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect due to their lords being comrades and took the Lightning Purple Phoenix's appearance as a prophecy that their lord may appear in the next few centuries.

This was all going according to Zi Hua's plan.

She's no saint, she cannot care for everyone, she will not allow her compassion to get in the path of her revenge, she'll just have to harden her heart as much as possible .

The elder immediately rushed to her disciples' location to see their situation.

"Master!" One of the slightly less injured disciples sprang to her feet and went towards her master.

"Master, you have to seek justice for us!"

"Calm down, tell master what happened, who dares to harm my disciples"

"Senior sisters and I had gone out in search of herbs however, we came across Celestial Cloud Sects core disciples and they attacked us out of nowhere!"

"Senior sisters couldn't contend against the core disciples and were beaten up, we had barely managed to escape back here" They were only inner disciples and weren't the core disciples of elders.

"Hah, since when did Celestial Cloud Sect become so brave, daring to attack Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect's disciples!" The Sect leader had come here to check the situation and happened to overhear the conversation, they had always had friendly relations with Deep Sky Dragon Sect but remained neutral against Celestial Cloud Sect.

"How dare they attack us, do they think that I, the Sect leader, is dead!" The Sect leader was a dignified woman worthy of being the Sect leader, she was wise but knew to protect the disciples.

"Do not worry, your disciples will not suffer unjustly, they will give us an explanation"

"Thank you Sect leader" One of the reasons why Elder Liu was so loyal to the sect was because of the respectable Sect leader, she wouldn't be willing to serve some trashy leader.

"Elder! I'm afraid their injuries are too heavy and we won't be able to save the disciples" One of the medics came out and reported.

"What!" Elder Liu was shaking in anger, how could this happen.

"Wait, all hope is not lost. During my travels I had acquired some pills that could heal mortal injuries" Zi Hua stepped in at this moment and saved the day.

"What if you're lying, what if they don't work, even our alchemists and physicians don't have a way!" Being clouded by grief, the elder screamed.

"Elder Liu please calm down, dear guest, although you were entrusted to us by our lord, our disciples' lives are not a trivial matter" The Sect leader, too, was skeptical but didn't wish to be rude.

"You won't know if you don't try, your alchemists have said that they are helpless, at least taking this chance will give them hope of surviving" Although her words were harsh, they were true.

"Elder Liu... what do you think?" The Sect leader found Zi Hua's words reasonable but it wasn't her disciples so she wouldn't decide.

"Fine" Elder Liu was awakened by her words.

Zi Hua entered the room and fed each of them a healing pill, the pill was refined by her and it could heal all sorts of mortal wounds.

The wounds started closing up at a visible rate, astonishing all of those present.

Zi Hua had planned this out, by doing this she can get them to be indebted to her.
