Watching the gruesome reality, Sword Lotus could not take his eyes off and blame for his stupidity. Wound all over his body, yet he felt a new one appeared when two thousand members were devoured  by Mao Nianzu.

They were visibly aged and boned, crumbling to the ground like a skinny stick one after another. Mao Nianzu's cultivation rose until peak Core Foundation stage because of them.

Mao Nianzu did not bother drying all their cultivation base essence. Instead, he went to the sect master private room.

The room was next to the main hall and the martial art hall. There were paintings and sculptures along the corridor before arriving at the bedroom. 

Pulling the drawer beside the bed, Mao Nianzu found a finger-sized scroll. He frowned upon it, read its content briefly, then smiled. "If he's this stupid, people already know the Twenty Four Lotus secret long ago by barging in here."
