Jiang Ning left the cave and followed the rest back to the kitchen.
The others left after they placed their wicker baskets down, cursing as they made their way out.
"Who cares if they're sect leaders? They're all dogs waiting for the slaughter now."
"They act all high and mighty all the time. They probably didn't expect to end up like this.”
"It feels so good trampling on their pride like that. Hahahahaha!”
The misfortunes of their prisoners filled these disciples with glee. Their souls had become twisted with malice and from similar treatment that they had suffered at the hands of others. Their most glorious moments were when they subjected these sect leaders and elders to humiliation and mockery.
After all, they were merely Outer Court disciples, the lowliest of all disciples in Tianlian Sect.
"Who knows how long the poison is going to stay in their systems? We should be careful. We're not their match without the poison in their bodies," Jiang Ning said.
The fearful look on his face drove everyone into laughter.
"You're such a coward. What are you afraid of?" One of the disciples said. "Elder Huang's been drugging them with poison all this while. The poison's not leaving their systems anytime soon. There's nothing to be afraid of. Go ahead and push them around. I'll teach you how to do it. Hahahahaha!"
The disciples jeered in unison.
Jiang Ning scratched his head and gazed at the other disciples with adoration in his eyes. "You'll have to teach me how!”
He silently remembered Elder Huang's name.
This was the man who had been drugging the sect leaders and elders with poison. He was the one holding onto the poison.
Things would go more easily now that Jiang Ning knew who had the poison.
Jiang Ning followed the disciples and watched as they stooped in a corner and filled their time with chatter and bragging. They got up excitedly when time came for meals to be delivered again.
"Come on, time to have some fun!" A few of them laughed out loud. They got such joy from delivering meals to the prisoners. There was nothing more enjoyable.
This was a joy that even the principal disciples couldn't enjoy.
"Alright then." Elder Huang nodded, then left.
"Come on, brothers! Let's have some fun with these sect leaders and elders!
Hahahaha!” The disciples were filled with excitement. They entered the kitchen and started packing the dishes into their wicker baskets so that they could deliver these sorry sect leaders and elders their meals.
"Ouch! Ouch!" Jiang Ning hugged his stomach suddenly. His face was pale and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead profusely. "Sir, my stomach hurts. I need the bathroom!”
"What's wrong with you now?"
"You'll full of shit, that's what. Hurry up, we'll wait."
Jiang Ning waved his arms wildly. "No, forget it. You should go ahead. I don't know how long I'm going to take. Oh man, I don't think I can keep it in any longer. I need to go now!"
His over-the-top performance had everyone bursting out in laughter and pinching their noses.
