Chapter 340: Refusing a Toast Only to Drink a Punishment?

【Emotional Connection +12】【Remaining usable points: 548】

Su Jingzhen’s words at this moment once again triggered an emotional connection point from Luo Yuebai.

At this moment, his statement was exactly what Luo Yuebai wanted.

Originally, the cultivators from Spirit Sound Valley and other forces were restricted by the array’s sealing power, unable to interfere with their next actions.

In Luo Yuebai’s view, this was already the best outcome.

And yet, Su Jingzhen’s few words had pushed the situation to a more advantageous position, making it impossible for Luo Yuebai not to be overjoyed.

After finishing his words, Su Jingzhen turned to look at Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai.

“Master, we can go in now.

If we don’t, those guys from the Free and Unfettered Sect might destroy the treasures in the mysterious space.”

The Free and Unfettered Sect had only sent one Nascent Soul cultivator, Hong Sen, and seven or eight Golden Core cultivators.

Although this lineup was already quite impressive, it was still far inferior to Su Jingzhen and the others.

After all, Shen Yifeng’s reputation was enormous, and his combat power was certainly not something that Hong Sen could match.

As for the Golden Core cultivators, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai could easily handle them.

As soon as Su Jingzhen finished speaking, Shen Yifeng nodded in agreement.

Without hesitation, the three of them stepped into the void tunnel.

At the same time, the cultivators from various forces who were not restricted by the spiritual seal looked at each other and followed suit, entering the void tunnel without hesitation.

Su Jingzhen and the others had given these people a significant sense of security.

The opportunistic individuals also didn’t hesitate, rushing into the void tunnel like a school of fish.

If it were only the Free and Unfettered Sect or the Evil Moon Sect in the mysterious space, they might not have been so bold.

However, most people were actually thinking about watching the Free and Unfettered Sect get destroyed at the hands of Shen Yifeng and the others. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After all, when the Free and Unfettered Sect had betrayed them earlier, the hatred towards them had already surpassed that towards the Evil Moon Sect.

Only the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators who were still trapped in the stone pillars or blue stone bricks looked confused, still unable to fully react.

“What… what does this mean?

How did we suddenly owe someone a favor?”

“Although… those from the Free and Unfettered Sect do deserve to die.

This is their retribution.

At least what Su Jingzhen said is correct; if they can directly eliminate the entire Free and Unfettered Sect, it would be a great relief for us.

So what’s the harm in owing them a favor?”

“…”

Many Golden Core cultivators spoke with a sense of satisfaction, looking at the other disciples who had not been restricted.

“Everyone, listen to my orders!

From now on, I only have one requirement: keep the Free and Unfettered Sect disciples who are still outside under close surveillance.

Don’t let a single one escape, or else, when the Evil Moon Sect’s Master Shen comes out, you’ll be the ones to take the blame.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators who had not entered the mysterious space didn’t dare to hesitate.

They directly surrounded the remaining Free and Unfettered Sect disciples who were still at the edge of the central square.

“This… this… this has nothing to do with us!

Masters, we’re just low-ranking disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and this matter has nothing to do with us.

Injustice has a head, and debt has a master.”

“These are all decisions made by Elder Hong Sen, and we know nothing about his plan.”

“……”

The Free and Unfettered Sect’s Foundation Establishment stage and Qi-refining Stage disciples were terrified.

Surrounded by so many people, they had no way to escape.

But if they dared to try, they would likely be killed on the spot.

They could only beg for mercy.

However, even if all the Free and Unfettered Sect disciples knelt down, the people surrounding them didn’t show any mercy.

In their eyes, this was the fate of these Free and Unfettered Sect disciples.

After all, the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators from various sects were still being restricted.

Who could guarantee that the Evil Moon Sect’s other cultivators wouldn’t arrive immediately?

“I feel like something’s off about this, how did it come to this?

We… we’re supposed to be united against the Evil Moon Sect, right?

How did we end up standing together with them?

This is just too ridiculous!”

Someone immediately raised these questions.

The situation was developing too quickly, leaving them unable to react.

As soon as these words were spoken, someone laughed and said, “That’s true, but that was before the Free and Unfettered Sect betrayed us.

Now, let’s just go with the flow.”

Although many people still felt that the situation was not quite right, they could only accept it at this point.

Since they couldn’t change reality, they might as well choose to accept it.

After all, the Evil Moon Sect hadn’t posed any threats to them.

However, when most cultivators were discussing this, the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators who were trapped by the sealing power didn’t think much about it.

At this moment, they were all immersed in deep thought.

No matter what the final outcome of this event would be, they had to first break free from the array that was restricting them.

…

This was a somewhat broken and desolate space.

The space was quite large, with an irregular shape.

It was like a battlefield left after a brutal war.

The four walls had many broken spiritual patterns and carvings.

The rules here were somewhat chaotic, and the spiritual energy was not very dense, but it had a thick, ancient atmosphere.

In the center of this space, there were over ten figures sitting in meditation.

The leader was none other than Zhao Tianming, the Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect, who had established a contract with Su Jingzhen.

Beside him were two white-haired old men, the other two fourth-grade alchemists of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

Behind the three of them were over ten young people.

These were the alchemy geniuses that the Spiritual Medicine Sect had been focusing on cultivating in recent years.

All of them were around thirty years old and had already reached the third-grade alchemy level.

They had a high probability of breaking through to the fourth grade or even higher in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Tianming didn’t arrange for them to go to Linjiang City alone.

His original plan was to personally lead them in retreat.

But even in the cultivation world, plans can’t keep up with changes.

“Don’t worry, this space is very difficult for me to open, and I don’t even have complete control over it.

Let alone outsiders.

Once the news of this space gets out, the Evil Moon Sect’s cultivators will definitely come to reinforce.

Even if those guys outside form an alliance, they won’t dare to truly clash with the Evil Moon Sect.

We’ll just wait here for a month, and by the time we come out, everything should be calm.”

Sitting in the center of this space, Zhao Tianming said this to the alchemists beside him.

His tone was calm, without a hint of panic.

It was clear that he had absolute confidence in this space.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed quietly.

Because at this moment, he sensed a rather strong fluctuation coming from outside.

Zhao Tianming instantly stood up, his expression tense and anxious.

Before he could say anything, the void in front of him suddenly distorted, with a faint outline of a portal forming.

“What’s going on, Sect Master?”

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the alchemists behind him changed drastically.

Earlier, they had heard Zhao Tianming’s words and had felt a sense of relief.

But in just a short span of ten breaths, another change had occurred.

Although they all had different levels of contract seals on their bodies, when it came to matters of life and death, they couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Zhao Tianming’s old face was filled with tension.

As the sect master, he didn’t fully understand this space, and this situation was unknown to him.

Before long, the distorted space suddenly formed a black hole-like void portal.

Strong spatial fluctuations emanated from it.

“This is… this is a void portal! Could someone be using external force to forcibly open a connection from outside?”

As he muttered to himself, Zhao Tianming couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This was indeed too unbelievable for him.

“Everyone, be careful. Things might take a turn for the worse.”

At this time, Zhao Tianming turned to look at the alchemists behind him and said.

He, too, was filled with fear.

Since being bound by a contract with Su Jingzhen, Zhao Tianming was well aware that if he were really captured by another force, the Evil Moon Sect would either rescue him or abandon him to his fate.

If they couldn’t rescue him, he would likely meet his end.

His words had just fallen when eight or nine figures emerged from the void portal.

The leader was none other than Hong Seng of the Free and Unfettered Sect!

The people from the Free and Unfettered Sect had just emerged from the void portal and hadn’t had time to take in the mysterious space around them.

Their gaze fell on Zhao Tianming and his group standing not far away.

“Haha, Sect Master Zhao, you’re quite hard to find. I’ve finally found you.”

Their eyes met, and Hong Seng’s eyes were filled with excitement.

“It was worth taking this great risk and calculating the moves of everyone outside. Now that I’ve finally seen Sect Master Zhao and his group, it’s all worth it.”

In Hong Seng’s view, they didn’t belong to the Yunmeng system, but they are among the top-tier sect in Qingzhou region.

By seizing the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s several fourth-grade alchemists and the vast resources accumulated over the years, they could now leave freely.

Spirit Sound Valley, Flowing Wind Sword Sect, and other forces would find it difficult to take revenge.

The Free and Unfettered Sect was destined to be the biggest and only winner this time.

“Free and Unfettered Sect!

How did you… how did you get in here?”

At this time, Zhao Tianming asked subconsciously.

He was confident that the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s space was extremely secretive.

Although there had been rumors about this in Qingzhou’s territory, no one had ever come to verify them.

So, he had thought himself to be completely safe.

But now, Zhao Tianming’s heart was filled with regret, regretting not moving the alchemists behind him to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion earlier.

“Haha, Sect Master Zhao, you don’t need to worry about how we got in.

You just need to know that from now on, you and everyone behind you will be serving the Free and Unfettered Sect.”

After a pause, Hong Seng’s gaze became even more excited as he looked at Zhao Tianming.

“And now, perhaps Sect Master Zhao can hand over all the spiritual artifacts and treasures on your person to me for safekeeping.

Otherwise, it would be a pity if they were lost later.”

Most of the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s resources accumulated over the years were likely with Zhao Tianming.

In Hong Seng’s view, the resources with Zhao Tianming might be even more important than the few alchemists themselves.

When he heard this, Zhao Tianming continued to back away.

Clearly, he was not willing to compromise immediately.

“Sect Master Zhao is unwilling?

I advise you not to refuse a toast and then get punished for it.”

As he said this, Hong Seng’s tone already carried a hint of killing intent.
