Chapter 301 - Intercept

Next would be the distribution of rewards. Xi Jian took out ten martial techniques, three cultivation techniques, and a porcelain bottle.

Liu Wuxie accepted the martial and cultivation techniques, throwing them into his interspatial pouch before carefully receiving the Everlasting Pill. There were too many people here, and consuming it right away was inconvenient for him.

After distributing rewards, it was time for the other nine to pick a sect to join. Feng Ye picked the Heavenly Origin Sect, Yuwen Tianqian picked the Transcendant Plume Gate, Mu Hongyang picked the Demonic Heart Palace, Ji Xinghe picked the Indigo Cloud Gate, Tan Yan picked the Misty Sect, Xiao Wenlai picked the Dugu Clan, and Yi Kang chose the Divine Sun Palace as the weakest among the ten.

As for Jia Fengmao, he joined the Azure Crimson Gate as he possessed talents for alchemy. Anyone who opposed the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion joined the Azure Crimson Gate, and this was an unspoken acknowledgment.

The only surprise was Shui Huan, who chose to join the Sky Rift Valley. This sect was mysterious and rarely appeared in the outside world.

As for the remaining ninety people, the majority joined the Heavenly Origin Sect, and the other sects didn’t have many left. The Divine Sun Palace only managed to recruit five disciples. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion didn’t manage to recruit many disciples either.

This was because the majority focused on their cultivation and had no interest in alchemy. Compared to the Divine Sun Palace, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion only managed to recruit twelve people, including Liu Wuxie.

“All of you have fifteen minutes to say farewell before returning to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with me!” Fan Lin looked at the twelve disciples and gave them time to say goodbye. This was because they might not be able to return anytime soon.

It was a rule that no one was allowed to leave the cultivation world without reaching the Heavenly Phase Realm. This meant that Mu Yueying’s cultivation was in the Heavenly Phase Realm at the very least.

The twelve disciples quickly left for their respective dynasties and bid farewell to their companions.

Fan Zhen and others couldn’t wait and rushed over. When they came over, they hugged Liu Wuxie because the Great Yan Dynasty had won immense glory that day, becoming the champion. Even Luo Zhaojun also gave Liu Wuxie a big hug.

“Wuxie, just let us know if there is anything we can do for you.” Setting Liu Wuxie free from his embrace, Fan Zhen restored his dignified demeanor, but the excitement in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.

“Take care of my family!” That was Liu Wuxie’s only request, and he wasn’t concerned with anything else. They began to chat about other matters, and fifteen minutes passed quickly.

Waving goodbye to Fan Zhen and others, Liu Wuxie walked towards Fan Lin without hesitation.

In the next second, the Dragon Battlefield was covered in tears. Even Fan Zhen had two streaks of tears rolling down his cheeks. Qin Lai and Li Nanxiang were brawling because no one knew when they could see Liu Wuxie again after this farewell. In the future, they would be people of two different worlds.

Fan Lin retrieved a flying carpet from his interspatial ring, which expanded into a giant rug hovering in the air.

That was the same for the other envoys; only Yu Tianyi took out a warship. It wasn’t massive, but it was a ship that sailed in the air.

The Heavenly Origin Sect had a vast harvest and recruited twenty-eight students. The Demonic Heart Palace’s envoy took out a crimson pagoda, and all the eighteen disciples entered.

Flying Treasures came in many sizes and were much higher quality than Fan Lin’s flying carpet. At the very least, the others didn’t have to worry about the weather conditions.

This proved that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was inferior to the Divine Sun Palace. The Divine Sun Palace’s envoy retrieved a massive feather, and it was comfortable sitting on it.

“Knock them out!” Yu Tianyi said without a hint of emotion in his eyes. He aimed to kill Liu Wuxie, and Fan Lin could leave his flying sword.

“I don’t want to die!” Everyone panicked on the flying carpet aside from Liu Wuxie. The flying carpet was on the verge of falling, like a lone rift in the raging ocean.

It wasn’t surprising that everyone would be afraid because they would die if they fell from this height.

Under Fan Lin’s control, the flying carpet could not be compared to the warship, and they were five meters apart.

Terrifying wind blew onto everyone as the flying carpet slanted by forty-five degrees, nearly causing a few disciples to fall.

“Hold onto them!” Fan Lin was furious. Several youths quickly caught onto the two falling and dragged them back to the carpet, but their faces were pale.

When the carpet and warship were about to crash, a profound seal was injected into the carpet, causing the carpet to speed up. When the carpet accelerated, the warship brushed past it, and they were only a few inches apart.

Everyone on the carpet was so close to dying. The warship was a high-grade spiritual treasure, possessing high spirituality. The impact wasn’t something the human body could withstand.

Everyone still did not understand what was happening or why the flying carpet suddenly accelerated. When everyone turned around to ensure they were safe, they finally sighed in relief.

“Yu Tianyi, what are you trying to do?!” Fan Lin roared, seeing the warship stopping and preparing for the second attack.

"Sorry about that. I lost my way earlier and nearly crashed into you guys," Yu Tianyi shrugged, causing Fan Lin's face to pale. This excuse was flimsy because high-grade spiritual treasures had mapping abilities, making it unlikely for someone to lose their way. It was evident that Yu Tianyi had been waiting for them there.

Liu Wuxie looked at Yu Tianyi with murderous intent on his face. They had no feud, and Yu Tianyi wanted to kill him just because he wanted to kill Ye Feng.

“This is the way to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Move!” There was nothing Fan Lin could do to Yu Tianyi, and he could only suck it up. However, the warship was in front of the flying carpet, and they had to evade it if they wanted to fly over.

Taking a detour was not only an act of humiliation for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but it also risked tarnishing Fan Lin's reputation if news of it spread. He couldn’t afford to bear the responsibility and had no choice but to compel the warship to make way.

“We’re resting here. If you guys are in a hurry, fly beneath us.” Yu Tianyi’s attitude made those on the flying carpet furious, and he didn’t look like a disciple from the strongest sect.

“Senior Brother Fan, does the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion have any enmity with the Heavenly Origin Sect?” Liu Wuxie asked.

Fan Lin smiled bitterly upon hearing that.

“It's a long story. You’ll know when we arrive at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. But the utmost importance is returning to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.”

Liu Wuxie could guess it even if Fan Lin said nothing. The relationship between the ten major sects wasn’t amicable, and they had been competing throughout the years. For example, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and Azure Crimson Gate were in a hostile relationship for generations, and their hostility couldn’t be easily resolved.

Waves of laughter echoed from the warship, a situation that would be unfavorable for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion if it persisted. While the warship could block the wind, everyone on the flying carpet remained exposed. If they allowed the situation to drag on, it would only worsen the predicament for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's party. This highlighted the disadvantage of relying on the flying carpet.
