Chapter 715 (2/2)

In the Full Moon Shrine, Blue Sacred Moonlight looked toward the sky, finding this hard to accept. She looked at the burning white flames in her opponent’s palm. Those white flames were the cause of her defeat.

She seemed to once again feel a kind of pain that was like even her will had melted.

Gritting her teeth, this elegant tier two Divine level woman said in a low voice, “You guys aren’t decided yet? If this goes on, we’ll definitely die. These damned Mages are too powerful.”

Beside her, Lan Yue shook her head. Although Lan Yue’s countenance was still pale like she was a weak patient, her slender long legs and beautiful face still made her extremely attractive.

She shook her head and said, “We can’t do that. If we surrender, we might not end up in a good plight either. And how are we going to explain it to Fang Xingjian?”

“You still remember that fellow?” Blue Sacred Moonlight said, gritting her teeth. “He humiliated our entire Full Moon Shrine! Moreover, I heard that the fellow was blocked by the Gold Robed Mages in the Northern Ice Region and can’t even save himself now. How can he still possibly still help us out?”

Lan Yue shook her head. “Fang Xingjian’s cultivation is unfathomable. Even if he were to encounter Mages, it probably won’t be hard for him to retreat completely. If we surrender now, not only will we be exploited by the Black Robed Mages, we will also have to receive Fang Xingjian’s revenge…”

“I also don’t think that surrendering is a good idea.” The Astral Ancestor also shook his head. “Fang Xingjian’s potential is deep and endless. The Mage Association might not be able to do anything to him. If the Full Moon Shrine is breached, we can just scatter and escape in different directions.”

“Two idiots,” the Blue Sacred Moonlight said furiously. “Are you going to abandon the sect’s assets? Do you still not understand the Mage Association’s power? How can that country bumpkin Fang Xingjian be their opponent? If we surrender to the Mage Association earlier, we’ll be able to get more benefits in the future.

“Even if Fang Xingjian were to come and create trouble for us, do you guys really think that he would be able to get through the Mages? There’s no way that he would be able to take revenge on us if we have the protection of the Mage Association.”

However, no matter how much the Blue Sacred Moonlight tried to persuade them, the other two refused to agree. This made the Blue Sacred Moonlight so angry that she stomped her feet, feeling these two people had completely been scared out of their wits by Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian and the Mage Association… To think that they would still hesitate when the choice was so simple. The Blue Sacred Moonlight was outraged.

All the disciples in the surroundings were silent, with only grief showing in their eyes. They did not have the right to join in the discussion of the three Divine level experts but grieved over the fact that their side was only left with the option of deciding which influence to join.

Just then, Lan Yue’s gaze when looking at the sky squinted. She said, “They left?”

“What?”

Both the Blue Sacred Moonlight and the Astral Ancestor looked toward the sky. When they saw that Fang Xingchen and the other two men had retreated, all of them felt at a loss and puzzled.

“Why did they leave?”

“Could it be that this is a trap to lure us out?”

“What should we do?”

The three of them could not understand this at all. In a situation where the Full Moon Shrine’s great protective formation had been about to be breached in another few minutes’ time, why would their opponents retreat?

At the next moment, streams of sounds came transmitting over and entered everyone’s ears. The three Divine level experts even managed to perceive them earlier with their martial will.

“Fang Xingjian and Alexander battled in the sky above the Great Western Region and exchanged a total of seven moves, ending in a draw. King Alexander retreated.”

In the blink of an eye, the entire Full Moon Shrine fell into silence. Then countless cheers followed.

Lan Yue’s expression was stunned for a moment. At the next instant, she smiled excitedly. She knew she had placed the right bet.

The Astral Ancestor stroked his beard and smiled.

The Blue Sacred Moonlight’s countenance changed and kept on changing. In the end, she slowly closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, “There’s probably no one else who can be a match for this young man on the path of sword arts.”

Although she was stubborn, she was not obstinate. Her wanting to surrender to the Mage Association earlier was also a kind of being flexible. When she heard the news that Fang Xingjian had came to a draw against Alexander, she started to suppress her hostility toward Fang Xingjian.

She sighed in her heart, ‘After this battle, this young man’s reputation will probably not lose out much to that of the experts at the Mage King’s level.’

The Astral Ancestor smiled and said, “Mister Fang’s reputation has shaken the world through this battle. Why don’t we head to the Great Western Region to congratulate him?”

The Blue Sacred Moonlight’s eyelids drooped down and she said calmly, “The number one sword in the Empire… deserves to be treated as such… Lan Yue, make a trip to the treasury…”
