Chapter 178: Chapter 177

Matt felt uncomfortable, those kids had those puppy dog eyes and were worshiping him like some kind of diety. He on the other hand didn't feel like he deserved this. If his communication skills were better then maybe this whole fiasco wouldn't have occurred and he would have years to cultivate himself and the whole clan into a great strong sect. 

"That being the case, you need to alert your Master if you are facing odds like that!"

"I will give you two something with which you can contact me without the use of a communication jade..." 

"Still, even though what you did was noble it was incredibly stupid, you endangered your whole clan and people close to you!"

Even though Matt agreed with the moral choice that he made. It was only that, the boy had no plan besides beating up that enemy in front of him. He didn't think about the master behind him, or that he was putting everyone there in danger by proxy. 

"Y-yes Master, I did a great disservice to the clan..."

The young man that was all smiles after hearing the prise just a second ago went back to frowning.

"If it would be any other situation you would be punished severely, but we don't have time for such things now."

"Go see if you can help the other elders with the evacuation of the regular folk, you too Xue."

The clan for the past two years had been expanding, they created a large system of tunnels under the city for situations like this. They would have various traps along with being more or less a maze. This was to evacuate people and if someone decided to chase afterward they would find it hard to get through.

This was the time to use it, the low-level cultivators and non-combatants were useless and more or less dead weight in this situation. They needed to be evacuated so that the warriors in the city had less to worry about when the Dark Palm Sect finally arrived.

"Yes, Master!"

The two didn't stay for much longer, they agreed with everything their glorious master said. Matt started thinking that if he told them to jump off a cliff they would probably do it without even thinking.

"This devotion might be a double-edged sword..."

He shook his head, this wasn't the time to think about the consequences of being too devoted to one person. He needed to make those blasted skills! He activated his crafting abode and appeared withing the large area, various smelting devices all over the place along with some weapons that weren't quite finished.

"I need to get this over with quickly and then use the nascent soul weapon I got from Wu Ming to advance my cultivation!"

He headed to the spot where the skill combination device was. He already knew what kind of cultivation method the two used thanks to his analyzing skill, and it was something that they had taken from the secret ground. He had copies of those manuals right here along with his own that would be used. Before he started he quickly glanced at the two booklets as if checking if he really took the right thing with him.
