834: Chapter 830: Regard Human Life as Worthless!
Ding Da asked in confusion, “Zhao Sixi, are you saying that the Sect Leader made a bet with soone—betting whether the number of deaths each day was odd or even?
And the Sect Leader kept losing every day, until the day you went to pay your respects to Tiann, when he finally won occasionally?”
Ding Er laughed and said, “I originally thought Tiann’s affairs were ridiculous, but I never imagined it could be *this* ridiculous!
A dignified Sect Leader betting on the number of deaths—if word got out, wouldn’t it bring sha upon all of us?”
Ding San added, “But why would the Sect Leader ntion the outer disciples of Tiann?
Could it be that the death count he referred to was about the outer disciples of Tiann?
Why are these outer disciples of Tiann dying in the first place?”
Zhao Sixi replied directly, “That’s exactly what puzzles .
Could it be that Tiann has been keeping close watch on us outer disciples all along?”
“Rubbish!”
Just as everyone was fervently discussing the matter, Ye Tian suddenly scoffed.
All eyes turned to Ye Tian.
What exactly did he an by his words just now?
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Ye Tian turned to Zhao Sixi and said, “Zhao Sixi, if my guess is correct, this ‘Dai Li’ must be among the top Qinggong experts within the inner disciples of Tiann.
Moreover, if Tiann has missions involving the ‘Slaughter Order,’ then Dai Li would surely act as the referee, wouldn’t he?”
“How do you know that!?”
Zhao Sixi was shocked—Ye Tian wasn’t part of Tiann, so how could he know their people and affairs so well, as if he had seen them firsthand?
“That’s exactly the case.
Among Tiann’s inner disciples, there are several people with the surna Dai.
It’s said that they’re descendants of the Liangshan hero Dai Zong.
After their clan’s massacre, the surviving descendants joined Tiann and cultivated the **’Wind Flow Strength’ cultivation technique**.
Although the strength of the Dai disciples isn’t exceptional, their Qinggong prowess is unparalleled, likely inherited from the bloodline of Dai Zong.
That’s why the Dai clan mbers are tasked with overseeing all of Tiann’s affairs, and they always perform their duties flawlessly!”
Zhao Sixi slowly explained this to Ye Tian.
After listening, Ye Tian’s face imdiately displayed a knowing smile.
“It’s already clear why this is happening.
This ti, why did Tiann suddenly announce that a few outer disciples would be elevated to inner disciples and taught the complete **’Wind Flow Strength’** technique?
Why did so outer disciples, who didn’t even qualify to enter the inner circle, get falsely accused of obtaining the complete ‘Wind Flow Strength’ manual?
And why, this ti, have the outer disciples of Tiann started massacring each other, while those being hunted had no place to seek justice?”
Ye Tian spoke loudly, and his words imdiately ignited everyone’s interest!
Zhao Sixi hurriedly asked, “Ye Tian, stop keeping us in suspense—tell us everything you know!
I’m also one of the victims here; I don’t want to be hunted down without knowing why!”
Ding Da echoed, “That’s right, Boss, if you’ve figured sothing out, you must tell us!
We three brothers were hunted before, and the youngest of us was seriously injured.
We also want to know who’s been pulling the strings behind all of this!”
Seeing the urgency in their expressions, Ye Tian remained calm.
He then spoke slowly, “It’s all very clear now.
This is nothing but a bet between the Sect Leader of Tiann and soone else!
That’s why the Sect Leader convened a sudden eting to announce the promotion of outer disciples to inner disciples—the purpose was to provoke conflict among the outer disciples.
Next, they spread rumors that certain outer disciples had been invited into Biyao Palace and obtained the complete ‘Wind Flow Strength’ technique.
This was to incite jealousy among the more unscrupulous outer disciples, pushing them to target their peers who were rumored to have received the full teachings.
As the saying goes, ‘An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.’ In the ensuing struggles among the outer disciples, casualties were inevitable.
Those deaths were then ticulously recorded by the Qinggong-expert Dai disciples, who reported the daily death counts to the Sect Leader.
And the Sect Leader used that data to gamble with another person!”
“What!?”
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s account, everyone was utterly shocked.
But alongside the shock, their expressions turned grim with anger!
Zhao Sixi clenched his fists tightly and cursed, “That beast!
If what you’re saying is true, aren’t we outer disciples nothing more than gambling pawns to them?
In the eyes of that bastard, we’re worth less than dogs!”
Although Zhao Sixi already had a poor impression of Tiann, being an outer disciple himself ant that realizing his life was seen as insignificant stung deeply.
The Ding brothers were just as upset…
Ding Da fud, “Damn you, Tiann!
Damn you, Sect Leader!
To think you’d do sothing so outrageous!
Sacrificing the lives of all Tiann’s outer disciples just for a bet—what do human lives an to that bastard?
Does he truly feel nothing at all for us outer disciples?”
Ding Er slamd his palm against a nearby tree, leaving a distinct five-finger imprint!
“That scumbag doesn’t deserve to be the Sect Leader of Tiann.
He lacks even the most basic trace of compassion!
From this mont onward, I’m renouncing any ties with Tiann—I’ll no longer consider myself one of their outer disciples!”
Ding San, though injured and less talkative, still expressed his indignation toward the Sect Leader’s actions!
“As they say, ‘When the head is rotten, the tail will follow.’ If even the Sect Leader is like this, how can we expect anything better from the others?
No wonder Sima Yun could be so brazen, using despicable ans to control all the Martial Artists in Night King Hall…”
Zhao Sixi and the Ding brothers vented their frustrations to Ye Tian, who listened intently.
Once they had vented enough, Ye Tian finally spoke.
“Everyone, I understand your anger toward Tiann, but now is not the ti to let our emotions take over.
There are more pressing matters at hand!”
Ye Tian’s words prompted Ding Da to respond imdiately, “Boss, you’re right.
Let’s head to Tiann right now and confront that scumbag Sect Leader!
If he doesn’t value the lives of outer disciples, then we outer disciples will revolt against him!”
“No.”
Ye Tian shook his head, rejecting Ding Da’s suggestion.
Ding Da fell silent and listened as Ye Tian continued calmly…
“Tiann is an enormous institution.
With just the few of us, I don’t believe we can demand justice from them.
We might not even get a glimpse of the Sect Leader before being taken down by his guards!
Even if—against all odds—we had the strength to kill the Sect Leader, the outer disciples’ carnage would still persist in our absence.
Those disciples, consud by their greed for the ‘Wind Flow Strength,’ wouldn’t stop their fighting.
If, during our confrontation with Tiann, all the outer disciples ended up dying, what would our actions have achieved then?”
Ye Tian’s reasoning left everyone exchanging glances.
Slowly, they began nodding in agreent.
Zhao Sixi declared, “You’re absolutely right!
While those disciples hunting are despicable, they were driven to act irrationally under the Sect Leader’s manipulations.
If we approach them with reasoning and appeal to their emotions, we might be able to persuade them to stop fighting.
That way, more people could be spared from unnecessary deaths!”
Ding Da added, “Boss has indeed considered things more thoroughly than we have!
Outer disciples have always been looked down upon by the inner circle.
Now they’ve been treated like worthless pawns in this sick gambling ga!
If they knew the truth, perhaps their perspectives would change.”
Ding Er quickly chid in, “Exactly.
If we can save even one more person, we should try.
Although I don’t like the other outer disciples much, being played with like this wouldn’t feel good to anyone.
I believe they, too, would understand!”
Ding San said, “Those outer disciples who realize the Sect Leader’s sches won’t trouble us again.
We can form a united front with them and take a stand against Tiann together!”
Everyone’s resolve was clear, and Ye Tian clenched his fist firmly.
“The truth is plain to see!
A sect like Tiann, which treats human lives like dirt, doesn’t deserve to exist in this world.
Until now, we didn’t have the power to oppose them.
But this ti, they’ve gone too far—using all the outer disciples’ lives as gambling chips.
This is intolerable!
This ti, let us use our strength to stop the pointless slaughter!
And let those outer disciples deceived by Tiann turn over a new leaf, whether or not they choose to rise against Tiann.
This experience and its lessons will benefit their futures no matter what!”
With their decision to stop the outer disciples from further infighting, the next step was to devise a plan.
Ye Tian turned to Zhao Sixi and asked, “Zhao Sixi, you’re most familiar with those who hunted you down.
Do you have any idea how we might quickly let them know they’ve been manipulated by Tiann’s Sect Leader?”
Zhao Sixi pondered for a mont, then replied, “If we want to do that, we’ll need bait.”
“Bait?”
Ye Tian was montarily stunned.
Zhao Sixi then helplessly pointed to himself.
