live a nice after life

Sasha was busy forcefully spoon-feeding Max when the door to the pavilion suddenly flanged open and five old men with pleasant smiles on their faces stormed in, they made themselves comfortable before planting their eyes on the two people opposite them.

'Six epic stages, huh? 'The five old men thought the same thing as they looked at Max, who was as handsome as ever.

Max likewise, didn't forget to gauge their strength either 'four six epic stages and one seven martial stages, not bad for a small sect' Max thought to himself.

"Sasha, excuse us, we have business to discuss with this fellow Daoist" Caiden said with a commanding voice, giving Sasha no chance to protest.

She walked to the door then turned to Max just before stepping out and mouthed the words ' I'm waiting outside' with a smile on her face.

Only if she knew this would be the last smile she would give him in this lifetime, she would have definitely defied her father and refused to leave.

After Sasha left, Max was now left with only the five old men sitting opposite him with glee all over their faces.

"So...you have an eternal flaming pill, right fellow Daoist?"caiden cleared his throat and asked to confirm Ezra's claims.

"Yes, I have one, fellow Daoist" Max affirmed his curiosity, somehow, sitting with these old men made him feel uncomfortable.

They were clearly age mates and their power level isn't that far from each other, still they made themselves look so old that Max felt like he was having a chat with his ancestors, so uncomfortable.

"Good, good...So what do you want in exchange for this pill, fellow Daoist?" Caiden asked while laughing, making eye contact with the other elders.

"Oh, wait, sect master, don't be in such a hurry" the first elder said then turned to Max'' fellow Daoist, to which sect do you belong?" He asked, staring intently at Max.

Max frowned, why were they sounding like they were interrogating a little kid who was playing with a dangerous weapon?

"I'm a loose cultivator" Max said while carefully paying close attention to their expressions.

Their faces immediately showed excitement, like they were more than happy to hear he was a loose cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you join our sect then, with your caliber, you can easily become one of the elders here, and also, it seems like you have a thing with my granddaughter, how about I get you two married, what do you think?" Caiden said with a smile on his old face.

Max shook his head at this, Sasha was risking her life just for this old bastard, yet, he was here throwing her as a bargaining chip without second thoughts, pathetic bastards.

"Not interested" Max replied coldly, with such people leading a sect, he wouldn't be able to get along well as to which would lead to internal conflict.

Their faces did not change at Max's rejection, it was as if they had anticipated it thus they were not affected when this outcome came forth.

"Alright, we accept your decision, so what do you want in exchange for this pill?"Caiden just waved it off, still smiling like a kid about to receive free candy.

"Cultivation pill at the seven stages" a simple, straightforward, and clear answer was what Max gave them.

"Oh, what a coincidence, fellow Daoist, our neighbor sect just took away all our cultivation pills after we had a little quarrel, how about this, accompany us to get them back and we will give you five pills for the eternal flaming pill" the first elder laughed heartily like he just told a funny joke.

The second elder who could barely speak anymore forced a few chuckles.

"Don't be like that, even though those guys are injured, he can't possibly fight them all by himself"the third elder said from the side.

The first elder playfully smacked his head " Are you blind, he is at the same stage as you are, what makes you think he can't".

Many more taunting words kept flying all around the six people as they taunted Max nonstop.

Max frowned deeply, what kind of conspiracy were they trying to cook up?

Were they trying to taunt him till he rushed over to fight to his death like a muscle brain? If that was their plan, then they failed, because he had better things to do than to fight other people's fight.

Another possibility was that they were trying to anger him till he couldn't take it anymore and attack so they could use that as an excuse and eliminate him before taking his pill.

If he were to choose, the second option was more ideal since they were five of them, even though injured, Max couldn't possibly fight all five of them, with four on the same stage as he is while one was a stage higher, it was basically suicide.

The five old men, not knowing that their trick had been seen through, continued to taunt Max, hoping for his reaction.

Max just smiled and stood up, he then said casually"Fellow Daoist, I have changed my mind, I no longer want to exchange the pill anymore, so I will be taking my leave, thanks for the hospitality" Max walked towards the door.

The five old men turned stiff instantly, out of all the possibilities, Max leaving never came to their minds, they clenched their hands into fists as they watched him leave.

Just before Max could reach the door, a strong spirit energy force came crashing towards him.

The hair on the back of his neck stood on end, his sixth sense yelling at him to move out of the way.

Max did so and the next second, a huge energy blast landed on the door, destroying the entire front wall completely. The noise of the explosion was so loud that everyone in the sect heard it.

Cold sweat poured over Max's head as he imagined himself getting hit by that energy blast.

Caiden clicked his tongue as Max was able to evade his attack.

In the next instance, the first elder flew to the air and shouted at the top of his voice.

"An intruder has attacked the sect master, he's planning to wipe us out, disciples of thousand yang sect, it's time to defend your honor for once we die, you will be his next target, so let's take him out together"

That day, a bloody battle occurred, causing Max to claim the lives of thousands of innocent people who were tricked by their elders.

And to ensure that no hatred is passed on to the future, he made sure to eliminate every single one of them, Sasha was the last person he killed, he said to her.

"I had already considered you but I do not want to fight against you in the future because of his death, for that reason, I am going to end it swiftly, live a nice afterlife" and before Sasha could say a word, her whole world turned dark.

Her eyes were opened wide with unwillingness as she died, no regrets, no hatred, just unwillingness for not being able to say the words she wanted to before dying.

Even when she never raised her sword nor did she join the fight, she still died at the hands of her chosen one.
