Chapter 219: Chapter 138: Our Disciples from Xuan Yin Sect Haven’t Come Out Yet 2
Translator: 549690339
At these words, some people from various sects in the surrounding area couldn’t help but laugh, remarking at how Divine Fire Zen Ren truly excelled in hurling insults.
But the Xuan Yin Sect was indeed in a pitiable state; none of its ten disciples had returned – even if one had lost an arm or leg or been trapped in some dangerous place, they would have been forcibly teleported back.
There was only one possibility for not being teleported back, and that would be death within the Secret Realm.
The Blood Demonic Sect and Sky Demon Sect, looking at the empty seats on the side of the Xuan Yin Sect, finally felt some psychological comfort, as only two of their disciples had returned from the Secret Realm.
The five golden core real persons from the Xuan Yin Sect wore faces so grim that water almost dripped from them. They couldn’t imagine how it was possible that not a single one of their ten disciples, including the three best ones who even possessed the Evil Puppet Basin that can perfectly possess, had returned.
“Divine Fire Brother, would you continue to provoke us under such circumstances?” The Golden Core real person from the Xuan Yin Sect, who previously clashed with Divine Fire Zen Ren, spoke with a chilling gaze.
At this, Divine Fire Zen Ren burst into laughter, his smile as bright as a flame, “What? Your Xuan Yin Sect disciples are incompetent, all of them were unable to return, and we are not allowed to laugh at this?”
“I recall someone was full of confidence saying that although we had many spots, we wouldn’t gain much.”
“Let’s not talk about our Liu Yun Sect disciples’ gains for now, at least more than half of them returned. Could it be all of your Xuan Yin Sect disciples have decided to settle in the Secret Realm, switching over to being Evil Puppets?”
The Xuan Yin Sect’s Golden Core Real Person erupted with a surge of Yin Qi; various red Evil Spirits appeared in the sky behind him, baring their claws and baring their teeth, appearing utterly terrifying.
Divine Fire Zen Ren refused to be outdone, emitting a scorching heat from his body, with an eager gleam in his eyes, as if he could hardly wait to have a thorough fight with the Xuan Yin Sect.
At this moment, the Golden Core Real Person with the highest Cultivation level from the Xuan Yin Sect stepped out, raising his hand to stop his own sect’s
Golden Core Real Person. He then turned to look at the Righteous Cultivation
Alliance sects, where more than half of their disciples had basically returned.
Even the unconventionally behaving Demonic Huan Sect, out of three disciples, two had returned. It was only in their three demonic sects where one was completely wiped out, and in the other two sects, out of seven and five disciples sent respectively, only two had returned.
His icy gaze swept over the Righteous Sects around him and he said in a solemn voice: “In this Dan God Secret Realm event, I have reason to suspect that you Righteous sects deliberately targeted us Demonic Cultivators.”
“All ten disciples of my Xuan Yin Sect are top-notch talents, yet none returned. Certainly, they must have been besieged by you all. This grudge shall be repaid in the future.
“Hmph, the Cultivators who entered the Secret Realm are randomly assigned locations. How could we besiege you? Perhaps, you Demonic Cultivators have offended some senior Monster Beasts in the Secret Realm,” Drunken Immortal joked.
Divine Fire Zen Ren spat out a flame-enveloped saliva, “Tsk, if you want to fight then fight. There’s no need to find such reasons. Why don’t we start here?”
“Oh, it seems that the last war didn’t allow you to realize your mistakes. Why not have another one?” Gold Sword Zen Ren calmly wiped his Golden Sword and said placidly.
Green Jade Zen Ren said indifferently: “Instead of thinking about how to improve the survival skills of their disciples, they want to provoke a war because their disciples couldn’t perform well. That’s ludicrous.”
“Our Liu Yun Sect is not to be threatened. If you want to fight, then let’s fight.”
A Golden Core Real Person from the Sky Sword Sect said sharply: “So you Demon Daoists want a fight? Remember to send us the challenge letter. Just inform us of the time and place; we will be sure to attend.”
Even though they had some conflicts with the Liu Yun Sect, they were on the same front in terms of dealing with the demonic sects.
“This matter has nothing to do with our Sky Demon Sect. We will take our leave first. Excuse us, fellow Daoists.” The Gold Core Real Persons of the Sky Demon Sect exchanged glances, and with a bow, they took their two disciples and disappeared in an escaping light atop a mountain peak.
The Blood Demonic Sect’s Golden Core Real Person also declared solemnly: “The poor performance of our sect’s disciple who was lost in the Secret Realm is our responsibility. Our Blood Demonic Sect has no intention of causing trouble for everyone. Goodbye.” With that, he too disappeared in a vanishing light.
“Our Huan Sect is not interested in disputes. Everyone, goodbye.” The Golden
Core Real Person of the Huan Sect did a fist and palm salute, took Song Qing Yin and another disciple, and left the mountain peak.
As Song Qing Yin prepared to leave, she couldn’t help but cast her glance towards Liu Yun Sect, at Lin Yi hiding behind the crowd. She chuckled, with a complex expression in her eyes.
Only the Xuan Yin Sect, the sole remaining one among the four Great Demon Sects, remained. The expression of the five Golden Core Realm cultivators turned even grimmer, incessantly cursing internally at the two cowardly Path of Demonic Sects.
One of the Golden Core Realm cultivators of Xuan Yin Sect diffused the tense atmosphere, “Fellow cultivators, our Sect’s Senior Brother Yin Li was merely joking earlier. If our disciples suffered any misfortune in the Secret Realm, it is due to their own weakness, which has nothing to do with you. We will take our leave first.
“How boring. The words you speak are as insignificant as a fart.” The Divine Fire Brother spat out a fiery gob, intentionally aiming it towards the Xuan Yin Sect.
That Dark Fierce Real Person was visibly enraged, interpreting it as a clear humiliation. However, he was restrained by several other Golden Core Realm cultivators, and soon transformed into streaks of fleeing lights, disappearing above the mountain peak.
Watching all the demonic sects leave, the atmosphere of the place immediately lightened. A Golden Core Realm cultivator of the Spirit Control Sect laughed, “Fellow cultivators, once we get back, we have to inquire thoroughly about which of our disciples killed one of Xuan Yin Sect’s cultivators, they deserve a hefty reward.”
“Indeed, they brought ten disciples over, but only the five bare elders returned.
They have become the laughingstock of the Heng Yuan World.”
“Not only them, even the Blood Demonic Sect and Sky Demon Sect did not have many disciples return. It’s really satisfying.”
The various Righteous Sects atop the mountain peaks left after chatting for a while. They had to ask what had occurred in the Secret Realm that resulted in such heavy losses among demonic cultivators.
The several Golden Core Realm cultivators of Liu Yun Sect returned to the Liu Yun Sect Inner Door with their eleven disciples.
Many Inner Sect Disciples lined up neatly in front of the Cloud Attraction Platform to welcome back their brethren. Spells were constantly cast in the sky, forming a spectacular sight.
Without any delay, the Golden Core Realm cultivators went straight to Liu Yun Peak.
As they stood in front of the Halls of the Liu Yun, the Drunken Immortal, smiling, told the eleven disciples, “Wait outside the hall until your name is called. Then, enter to report your individual gains from the Secret Realm.”
“We obey Drunken Immortal’s command.” The eleven disciples all bowed together in respect.
The Golden Core Realm cultivators entered the Liu Yun Hall. Shortly after, Xie
Jing Xing of the Golden Sword Peak, was called in, followed by a disciple from Green Jade Peak. It seemed they were called in a completely random order.
Standing not far away, Shen Hao Lin said to Lin Yi, “Junior Brother Lin, if the elders ask about what happened in the Secret Realm, I cannot help but tell them the truth.”
Though he had no recollection of what happened in the cave, he remembered all the events in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, as the scenes were still vivid in his mind.
“Senior Brother Shen, you should tell the truth. It would also save me the trouble.” Lin Yi replied with a smile. His storage bag only contained the gains from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
If Shen Hao Lin wasn’t there to verify his claims about receiving assistance from the garden’s Guardian Beast, the Green Giant Python, by feeding it, then perhaps the Sect’s Golden Core Realm cultivators may not have believed him.
Listening to their conversation, the crowd was puzzled. What happened between Lin Yi and Shen Hao Lin? Seems like some major issue.
After the disciple from Green Jade Peak exited the hall, Drunken Immortal’s leisurely voice rang out from within, “Golden Sword Peak, Lin Yi.”
“Disciple is here.” Lin Yi bowed with a fist greeting and slowly entered the Liu
Yun Hall.
Upon entering the Grand Hall, he realised that the various Golden Core Realm cultivators from other peaks, who didn’t have disciples participate in the Secret Realm, were present. Among them was Jade Illusion Zen Ren who had sent back the disciples earlier.
“Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master and all elders.” Lin Yi bowed with a fist greeting to the eleven Golden Core Realm cultivators in the hall..
