Chapter 146 (1/2)

A rare sight was in front of the Qing-Yun Sect’s doors: both the sectfor the disciples’ return Sect Master Chen Xuanhua had already received word that the Qing-Yun disciples had successfully completed the mission and would arrive at the sect doors within just a burn of incense, and so he’d invited all four chief elders to wait here together with him

The four chief elders wore four different expressions Elder Tie Rukuang was all smiles, and his black beard quivered nonstop The pale and beardless face of elder Xiao Shanhe was as cold as ice, with both eyes lowered and his lips sealed shut The scholarly Shuwen Valley’s chief elder looked rather helpless As for the red-robed Chief Elder Qin’nyao, she was calm as she looked towards the sky in a way that

Although the disciples had not yet arrived, the elders had already heard of theto say the least, and they all individually double-checked multiple times to make sure this wasn’t actually amission or a duel between the valleys—it was always Shanhe Valley who took first place, Danxia Valley who took second, and then the Shuwen and Duanzhen Valleys who fought over third and fourth This was only natural considering the two core disciples—Xiao Jian and Xu Linyun—both made quite an obvious difference that could not be overlooked They thought the results would be similar this tiiven the-Yun disciples that had left for Mount Desolation, twenty-eight would be returning with the mission’s successful completion Put simply, thirteen disciples had lost their lives Furtherood dozen or so disciples had been injured, with four of theer be able to practice cultivation from today onwards If it was considered in this manner, it could be said the death count had reached seventeen—being unable to practice cultivation was as good as being dead

Theof all was that the valley with the fewest deaths was actually Duanzhen Valley There were ten disciples left, with only one death and one with a lost li simply, they’d lost just two people

Next came the Danxia disciples One had broken sect rules and was captured, one had died, and another was heavily wounded—three people lost

As for the Shanhe and Shuwen Valleys, their losses had been reater Shanhe Valley had sustained five deaths and one heavy injury Shuwen Valley had six deaths and one heavy injury and—including Pi Junzi—only four people total had returned unharmed

If it was just about how many lives each valley had lost, there wouldn’t be much interest This erous, after all, and it wasn’t really possible to get through a mission like this without death However, when the resources obtained fro…

Based on the rough entries in the jade booklet, the Duanzhen Valley’s gain was more than the Shanhe and Shuwen Valleys’ coain the Danxia disciples obtained, there was still a good thirty percentwas left overjoyed, and his lips had been curled upwards the entire day ”That little bastard, I knew he had so spirit vessel slowly closing in

The other elders did not want to speak to him, and instead mentally rolled their eyes at his words ‘Who was it that iretted his decision after the disciples left? Who was it that stood atop the Yunyin Su that all his disciples would never return…?’

Sect Master Chen Xuanhua looked to Tie Rukuang and se and said the child na performed exceptionally well He helped Linyun kill the Fiery-Scaled Serpents, de that his battle prowess see attacked by a Foundation Stage beast, showing he places importance on those within the sadohest contributor was him without a doubt Esteemed chief elders, I would like to promote him to be a core disciple What do you all think?”

Each as astonishi+ng In all these years, the Qing-Yun Sect had only had two core disciples, and now there was going to be another?

Although a bit dazed, Tie Rukuang soon smiled ”I say why not? If that little bastard beca-Yun Sect!”

”You -Yun Sect’s reputation’!” Xiao Shanhe suddenly spoke ”Although the boy contributed greatly to the mission, he also cut open a Danxia disciple over a pellet, took the Illusory Soulgrass all for hie sacks without returning then cultivators, he stooped to ransos not deserve punish the chief elders irew tense

Sect Master Chen Xuanhua’s expression was unchanged, however He smiled to the other two chief elders and asked, ”What do you think?”

Shuwen Valley’s chief elder could only sigh ”Contributions o unpunished This is best decided by the sectnothing at all, but Chen Xuanhua did not seem to mind and looked towards Chief Elder Qin’nyao She appeared a little troubled before finally answering, ”I’ve heard the boy brought great assistance to my valley, but he also opened up the stomach of one of my disciples over a pellet, which is a little too presumptuous I don’t knohether he should be rewarded or punished, so I won’t pay any mind to him for now As for thisthis, Chen Xuanhua could only smile ”In that case, I already have an idea!” Yet, despite saying he already had an idea, he didn’t actually reveal what it was

Xiao Shanhe’s expression was not the best, but it wasn’t exactly glooe beast came from, and there is no evidence of it either, which is fine As for that group of foreign cultivators, however, there was evidence fro to their identity They are likely people belonging to the Myriad Beasts Sect of the Bohai Kingdoe between our two sects is likely set in stone now What shall we do about this, Sect Master?”

Sect Master Chen Xuanhua was still s in cultivation resources, and the Myriad Beasts Sect is just a sst everyone in their sect, it is said only their sect e’s mid tiers, and I’ve never heard of any cultivation e has been set in stone, so what? It was their disciples who came past the borders and were discourteous to our disciples first Even if they were disadvantaged this time, they would not dare to speak of it out in the open!”

Xiao Shanhe lightly groaned when he heard this, clearly unaive the sect a powerful enemy, this definitely calls for a punishhtly creased his brows at this
