Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 611 - 341: Found One, Usually There’s a Nest_3

"Although Tang is quite clever, he can resist temptation and didn't do anything outrageous, so he has passed the test.

"Hu Jiusan, you rascal, being the elder brother, yet you're sneaky and lazy, I'll punish you for another three months."

Hu Jiusan, "That's not fair! Tang's resisting temptation? He just lacks ability!"

Master Cheng, "What's unfair about it? It's because you're older. Wait until you're at Tang's age and cultivation level, then you'll understand."

Hu Jiusan, "…"

Tang couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. After he had laughed enough, he leaned on his broom and asked, "Then Master Cheng, since I've passed the test, can I leave now?"

Master Cheng, "No, a test is a test, punishment is punishment, keep sweeping the floor obediently."

"Ah~" Tang groaned with a long face.

"Sweeping the floor is for you to realize your mistakes so that you won't mess around with the Sect Leader anymore. I can't punish him, but I can punish you, right? Think about the consequences before you act.

"Learn from me, be more meticulous and steady."

"Look at this Ancestral Master's Mausoleum that I've been guarding for hundreds of years, has there been a single mistake? It's clean and tidy, apart from the Sect Leader, that messy brother of mine, nothing has gone wrong, …"

Master Cheng wanted to continue lecturing, but Tang interrupted, "Master Cheng, why did you suddenly get twin ponytails?"

"What twin ponytails?"

Master Cheng didn't understand.

Tang pointed behind Master Cheng, over at the Ming Tower, where two antennae protruded from beyond the roof's ridge, twitching in the air, aligning perfectly with Master Cheng's floating Dharma Aspect.

From Tang's angle, it looked as if Master Cheng had gained a pair of twin ponytails.

Following Tang's pointing, Master Cheng turned around, just in time to meet the gaze of the giant cockroach emerging.

Master Cheng, "…"

The giant cockroach watched for a moment, seemingly feeling this old man was uninteresting, then ignored Master Cheng lazily, continuing to rub its hands under the sunlight, looking around as if searching for something.

"Master Cheng, is this also a part of our test?" Hu Jiusan hesitated.

He thought this creature was raised by Master Cheng and was part of the test.

"Test, my foot! Where did these bugs come from?"

According to the rules, unless in special circumstances, you can't randomly scan the Ancestral Master's Mausoleum with Divine Sense.

But this was obviously a special circumstance.

Master Cheng unleashed his Divine Sense, encompassing the entirety of the Ancestral Master's Mausoleum.

Master Cheng soon discovered the second, third, fourth... and countless cockroaches of varying sizes emerging from a hole, the smaller ones running amok, while the larger ones seemed to be seeking something.

Master Cheng, "…"

So-called blind spots under the lantern, it hadn't occurred to Master Cheng that there would be such things near the Ancestral Master's Mausoleum. Just like he never expected his brother Tang would come to dig up the Ancestral Master's grave in the middle of the night.

"Master Cheng, didn't you say you've never made a mistake? Where did these bugs come from, your hygiene is a bit off." Seeing Master Cheng's odd expression, Hu Jiusan teased.

"Shut up, if you speak more, you'll be sweeping here for life." Master Cheng glared at Hu Jiusan and raised his hand to cast a Magic Sword.

"No!"

Tang tried to stop it but was still a step too late.

Master Cheng's Taiyi Golden Crystal Sword fell from the sky, slicing the twin ponytails on the roof in half.

Poof...

Looking at the colorful scene on the roof, Tang turned pale, recalling his previous treacherous experience in the forest of Diannan.

Hu Jiusan looked at the colorful roof of the Ming Tower, feeling disgusted all at once, and casually threw out a Thunder Talisman.

"No!"

This time, Master Cheng was the one who spoke, having just realized what was happening, only managing to retrieve his Magic Sword but failing to stop Hu Jiusan from acting.

These giant bugs had just awakened from a long slumber, attracted by Yang Qi, and his Magic Sword along with Hu Jiusan's Thunder Talisman

were pure Yang items.

The bisected cockroach was obliterated by the lightning fire, but even more of the cockroaches began to frenzily swarm towards them.

"Who on earth did this!" Master Cheng felt he was being played again, but had no proof.

Since Thunder Technique could attract bugs, Master Cheng decided not to hold back anymore, ten Magic Sword illusions formed array eyes, covering the entire Heavenly Master's Mausoleum, with a wave of his hand, Taoist Technique, Five Elements Spell rotated, Array Runes descended from the sky to suppress.

"You go underground and drive out the remaining bugs." Master Cheng kicked Hu Jiusan, who was leaning on his broom nearby.

Hu Jiusan's face changed dramatically; he turned around and kicked Tang who was watching gleefully, "Let's go together, die together."

Tang, "…"

In truth, Master Cheng really didn't expect that his first time going all out in many years would be to deal with cockroaches…

In a daze, Master Cheng felt like he returned to his childhood, that humid and stuffy afternoon.

Back then, he held his father's straw sandals, smacking cockroaches scurrying around the stove.

Back then, he was a mortal, using straw sandals to smack normal cockroaches,

Now, even after pursuing Immortal Cultivation, he still had to smack mutant cockroaches.

Did I cultivate in vain? What am I getting from this?

...

Far away, very far away in the distance.

Zhang Ze, Junior Sister, and Li, the instigators, stood on a hill watching the spectacle of thunder eruptions and golden lights at the Ancestral Master's Mausoleum, feeling giddy and restless.

"Isn't what we did a bit wrong?" Junior Sister whispered.

"Is there another way? Whether they went to Xiaotun Village or roamed into the mountains, it would be a hassle. Better to gather them at the Ancestral Master's Mausoleum, a concentration of extermination, killing bugs and shooting the sun, and it'll be a good story." Zhang Ze said.

Junior Sister, "If it's a good story, why are you running? Why not go find Master Cheng to claim credit?"

"I'm just afraid that Master Cheng might get so happy that he ends up exterminating me as well."

Zhang Ze spoke while fiddling with the Phoenix egg in his hand.

During the escape, Zhang Ze discovered that the cockroaches weren't actually chasing him, but were pursuing Rongrong.

Rongrong, in the Phoenix egg, emitted inexhaustible vitality, being of the purest Yang quality, was like ambrosia to the mutated giant bugs, a Secret Treasure.

The awakening of the giant bugs was likely due to him bringing Rongrong back for a revisit.

'So, did I lay in a cockroach nest for a few years back then?'

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze shivered, thankful that his coffin was sturdy, or he might have become cockroach droppings long ago.

"Let's go, let's go, Master Cheng might notice us once he frees his hand, then we'll be in trouble."

Zhang Ze said knowingly, beckoning to the others, as they jumped onto the Flying Ship.

The Flying Ship sped off, circling once, and first leaving the area of Heavenly Master's Mausoleum before flying north.

Flying in the air, Zhang Ze suddenly said, "I still need to talk to the little monk about this, or I'll always feel uneasy."

Taking out a small walnut, connecting it, a raspy old voice sounded on the other end.

"Who are you looking for?"
