Chapter 129 (2/2)

Regardless of the reason, the elders of the numerous academies withdrew their disciples to prevent even greater losses . Tan Guanghua and Jie s.h.i.+ were only able to save a little over 20 of their disciples from the valley .

Only half survived? Tan Guanghua questioned inwardly, his heart in pain . He knew each Battle of Towns was incomparably cruel, but they had never suffered such disastrous losses . One ought to know that it hadn't even been 10 days since the start of the compet.i.tion .

”Vice palace master, there are too many gold serpentine crocodiles . Even Demon Kings have appeared . We're lucky even half of us survived,” said Mo Zhu with a grim expression . Following that, the other disciples started complaining .

”Everything was fine, but suddenly, the gold serpentine crocodiles went crazy . Wave after wave of them charged out . If we were a tad bit slow, we would have been stampeded to death as well . ”

”I think I heard the roar of a tiger . The roar is like a nightmare . It's so scary my legs went limp when I heard it . I suspect that roar scared all the gold serpentine crocodiles into a stampede . ”

”I heard that roar too . It sounded like a Demon King tiger . It's really, really scary, and the sound wave spread like a tsunami . That was when the gold serpentine crocodiles started going crazy . ”

”I don't know what happened, but I do know that I am never partic.i.p.ating in another Battle of Towns . How is this different from suicide? A gold serpentine crocodile had ripped off one of my arms . If Senior Sister Gong had not rescued me . . . I . . . sob sob!”

These surviving youths were all filled with fear . Both Tan Guanghua and Jie s.h.i.+ both smiled bitterly . They were clear that the surviving disciples had all lost their courage . A cultivator without courage was as good as a cripple .

In this situation, the disciples capable of remaining fearless in face of death would forge ahead vigorously and boldly in their path of cultivation, and their future would thus be bright . Just as the s.h.i.+p was about to set sail, a voice rang out, ”Vice palace master, first elder, can we wait longer? M-my boss is not back yet!”

The speaker was Xia Liuhui . He was in a miserable condition as well . His entire body was riddled with wounds, but fortunately, he still had all four limbs attached .

After he said that, Lu Xiaoqing also spoke anxiously . ”Yes, yes, Shaoyun is not back yet . We have to wait for him!”

Tan Guanghua and Jie s.h.i.+ exchanged glances before Jie s.h.i.+ said, ”It has been a day . All the s.h.i.+ps have already left . The surviving disciples would all have appeared by now . I'm afraid . . . ”

”No, no! I refuse to believe he would die! I am going back there! I need to look for him!” Lu Xiaoqing could not accept that Xiang Shaoyun had been killed . In her agitation, she tried jumping off the s.h.i.+p .

Beside her, Chen Xin quickly hugged her and said, ”Calm down, junior sister . Going back is tantamount to suicide . ”

Xia Liuhui had the urge to head back in as well, but stopped when he heard Chen Xin's words . The current Golden River Valley was flooded with gold serpentine crocodiles . Not to mention looking for Xiang Shaoyun, he would probably die the moment he entered .

”Junior Sister Lu, calm down . Junior Brother Xiang went missing the moment we entered . Perhaps he has gotten lucky and stumbled upon some fortuitous encounter,” Mo Zhu comforted Lu Xiaoqing .

”Alright . Let's leave,” Tan Guanghua commanded with a resolute light in his eyes . He was regretful for the loss of Xiang Shaoyun, but he could not allow everyone to die here for Xiang Shaoyun . ”If we stay any longer, the gold serpentine crocodiles will surround us . At that time, I won't be able to protect all of you . ”

”Shaoyun! You must stay alive! Sob, sob . . . ” Lu Xiaoqing started crying bitterly . Her sorrow seemed to be contagious as the other disciples' eyes turned misty as well .

”Boss! You must return! You told me you would take care of me in the future!” Xia Liuhui clenched his fists and howled in the direction of the Golden River Valley .

In a corner of the s.h.i.+p, Gong Qinyin had a look of regret on her face as well . Inwardly, she sighed, Just like that, he had died an untimely death?

”Vice palace master, first elder, I need to report something . The Gateflag Academy people and Blackhill Sect people once joined hands against us . If the gold serpentine crocodile stampede hadn't erupted when it did, I'm afraid . . . ,” Mo Zhu reported .

”Gateflag Academy? We won't forget this!” Tan Guanghua said, a sinister glint in his eyes .

”After returning, I think we need to get Elder Zhen Peng to take a trip to the Gateflag Academy . Otherwise, they would think they can bully us anytime they want!” Jie s.h.i.+ proposed . He paused before adding, ”We can even blame them for Xiang Shaoyun's death . ”

”But . . . ” Tan Guanghua hesitated, not knowing how he should go about doing this .
