After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 130 Granting Favors Requires Timing (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Although everyone was tricked into coming here by the Yue family today, the deaths of the more than one hundred people before us can be considered entirely voluntary.

With the treasure right in front of them, they became greedy and wanted to seize it, so it was only natural that they would take the risks for it!

As cultivators, opportunities and risks always coexist, and these risks are something they must bear.

All treasures require risking your life to fight for. You can't just assume you're amazing if you get the treasure, and then blame others for not helping if you can't win.
They had all witnessed the failures and deaths of others along the way, and should have known the terrifying nature of the spirit fire. So if they were any smarter, had a clearer mind, and made a timely decision, they wouldn't have been one of those hundred-plus people, but one of the survivors.

"Shut up! She saved you, of course you can talk like that without knowing the pain!" the male cultivator retorted, looking unconvinced.

Mo Jiuwei appeared at just the right moment when the woman in red was about to be pulled onto the stage, so there's absolutely no doubt that Mo Jiuwei saved her.

The male cultivator believed that this was precisely why the female cultivator spoke up for Mo Jiuwei.

How unjustly her Daoist partner died! She and the red-clothed female cultivator were only one after the other, so why didn't Mo Jiuwei save her, but instead saved the red-clothed woman?
This is not fair!

“Um, if I remember correctly… you two Daoist partners didn’t seem to be very friendly to them the whole way, and you’ve been quite provocative, haven’t you?” A male cultivator wearing a jade crown couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up.

The long-faced female cultivator kept making sarcastic remarks along the way, complaining that Liu Feng's group was too large and that they even had a little child who was holding them back.

The same thing happened here. She clearly didn't want to go up, but she still tried to persuade Liu Feng and the others to go up with her words. It was obvious that she had ill intentions.

The male cultivator with the jade crown was confused. They were the ones who started the trouble, so where did this person get the audacity to turn around and blame the little kid?
The others found it quite polite upon hearing this, and even those who had initially wavered felt a little guilty and ashamed after hearing it, and began to speak up for Mo Jiuwei.

"Exactly, you're already indebted to them for surviving, and instead of being grateful, you're even harboring resentment?"

"Isn't this just taking the benefits and then acting innocent!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you step in and save your partner yourself? Instead of causing trouble for the Yue family, you're blaming your benefactor! You're putting on a show of deep affection. If you were truly affectionate, you would have taken your partner's place when they kidnapped her. Why are you standing here instead of her?"

"Pah! I saved a thankless wretch!"

The male cultivator hadn't expected everyone to side with the little child. Now, suddenly being targeted by so many people, he dared not speak out in anger and could only lower his head, swallow his anger, and remain silent.

Seeing that he remained silent, these people gave him a disdainful look and said nothing more, instead thanking Mo Jiuwei.

Mo Jiuwei nodded, taking their gratitude as her acceptance.

The male cultivator's words did not affect Mo Jiuwei's mood.

With so many people in the world, people die every day from monsters and battles. Even if Mo Jiuwei could protect them all, would she really be able to manage everything?
If all two hundred people could resist the temptation and remain unmoved by the spiritual fire, then when the Yue family tries to force them, Mo Jiuwei might step forward, take away the spiritual fire early, and thwart the conspiracy.

But as others have said, the Yue family hasn't even used any special methods yet, and they themselves have already lost their minds when faced with the spiritual fire, scrambling to try it out...

In this situation, if she were to step forward directly, those people wouldn't remember her kindness; they might even turn around and blame her for stealing their treasure!

These people may seem to be speaking "fairly," but how many of them are truly sincere, and how many are simply complying because they've been given money? Who knows?
Having lived several lifetimes, Mo Jiuwei had long since learned one thing: kindness must be used in the right place, and the timing of bestowing favors must be opportune!
Otherwise, it's a thankless task, so it's better not to put in any effort at all.

"You lot, why aren't you letting us out of here?!" Hu Jiu looked at Xiao Ruo and the others and scolded, "Or do you want to die with your patriarch?" There are traps underground, and it's obvious that Yue Qi's men are guarding the exit.

If these people are willing to open the door and let them out, that would be best. If they still resist, then we'll just have to take action!

"Ahem... Aunt Ruo, let them out, and tell everyone outside to leave as well."

A weak male voice spoke.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw that the "young master" who had been lying on the couch had sat up and was speaking with difficulty while clutching his chest.

His body was covered in blood, and it was almost unbearable to look at.

"Fifth Young Master, this..." The woman named Xiao Ru hesitated.

The Fifth Young Master shook his head. “I told you long ago that this matter was too heinous, but Eighth Sister wouldn’t listen to my advice and insisted on doing it. Our Yue family is already at its last gasp after this incident, so let’s not make any more enemies, or we’ll be courting death.”

"Fifth Young Master, Yue Qi is dead, and the Qiankun Bag has turned to ashes. Does that mean your antidote is gone too?" A steward named Lin Yu, who was standing at the door, suddenly realized something and asked with a pale face.

"Well, this is probably retribution," the Fifth Young Master said with a bitter laugh.

Xiao Ru lowered her head and tears streamed down her face.

Lin Yu's eyes showed sorrow, followed by anger. "The old master clearly intended for you to be the new head of the family. It was the Eighth Miss who killed him and poisoned you to coerce you. If we had known things would turn out this way, Xiao Ru and I would have fought to the death to kill her, and then none of this would have happened!"

“Yes, it would be better to listen to the old master. At worst, we can sell the spirit fire, and the resources we get will be enough for our Yue family to rise to a higher level. Why end up like this? Miss Eight doesn’t need to…” Xiao Ru sobbed.

The Yue family has truly suffered a double loss; not only has the spirit fire been lost, but they have also offended so many people.

This matter will surely spread throughout the continent after today. At that time, the Yue family will not only become a laughing stock, but will also be completely unable to hold their heads up in Shihan City.

It can be said that after this incident, the Yue family will be severely damaged, and may even be completely divided up by other powerful families under the guise of justice.

And all of this is because of the ambition of Yue Ling and her daughter Yue Qi!

"It's all my fault for discovering it too late and not stopping Eighth Sister sooner."

"No, it's not Fifth Young Master's fault. Lin Yu and I should have realized it sooner and told the old master..."

The Fifth Young Master suddenly coughed a few more times, this time quite violently, his neck and face turning completely red, and finally he spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

After that, he slumped onto the couch, barely breathing.

"Fifth Young Master!"

Xiao Ruo and Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise and rushed towards him.
