SFS Chapter 123 is out
Chapter 123 is out
To Yang Hua, the sound was extremely grating. His face felt burning hot, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.
Within the purple-gold magic array, four disciples of the Qixia Sect dressed in camouflage appeared; they were none other than the elite team led by Chen Ru and Du Fan.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, haha, I'm a bit short on cash lately. Well, since you're so wealthy, I won't stand on ceremony, haha..."
Ouyang Xuan's laughter was extremely hearty and exaggerated, as if it contained some kind of magical power, enough to be heard a hundred miles away.
"Hmph, shut your detestable laughter! I'm a man of my word!"
Yang Hua's face was extremely pale, turning ashen, but he couldn't bring himself to deny it in front of everyone. So he flicked his sleeve, and a high-grade spirit stone shot out.
At the same time, he harbored strong resentment towards Ji Tianhe, who had caused him not only to lose spirit stones but, more importantly, to lose face. He had made a decision to settle accounts with that kid after returning to his sect.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yang is indeed a straightforward person, I admire him!"
Ouyang Xuan's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his arm, a ray of azure light swept out, instantly enveloping the high-grade spirit stone that was shooting towards him. With another swirling motion, he stored it in his storage magic item.
However, while Ouyang Xuan appeared cheerful, he was inwardly puzzled. Why hadn't the two people he cared about most come out? These seven were supposed to be a team, so why were they scattered...?
Just then, the magic array hummed again. Ouyang Xuan hurriedly scanned the area and found six disciples inside. A few breaths later, their figures solidified, revealing them to be six disciples of the Yandang Sect, led by Pang Yuan.
As a result, both Yang Hua and Ouyang Xuan's expressions turned extremely ugly.
The magic array flashed again, revealing two disciples from the Wentian Sect. These two were from Ji Tianhe's team, who had given up the chase due to their slow speed.
Seeing this, Yang Hua's expression finally softened a bit, but his eyes still gleamed, and he was not truly at ease. He continued to stare intently at the magic array.
The next groups of people who came out were all disciples of the Qixia Sect, but Du Fan and Chen Ru were still nowhere to be seen.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Xuan's expression turned extremely gloomy. He could no longer restrain himself and immediately took a few steps back. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a light blue jade pendant with a restriction and quickly infused it with several spells.
The next moment, the jade pendant flashed with a bright blue light and was thrown into the air by Ouyang Xuan.
The cyan jade pendant spun in the air and hovered above Ouyang Xuan's head, emitting a soft, ring-shaped light that enveloped him.
"Zixun, the four of you come in with me."
After doing all this, a sharp glint flashed in Ouyang Xuan's eyes. He muttered something in a low voice and then walked in first with a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this, Zi Xun and the others in Du Fan's team were naturally alarmed. They were already somewhat uneasy, so they dared not be negligent and followed Elder Ouyang closely into the barrier light screen.
Yang Hua and the equally ashen-faced man in the python robe glanced at Ouyang Xuan, then ignored him and focused their attention back on the array in front of them.
As the purple-gold array shone brightly once more, Ji Tianhe and the other four disciples of the Wentian Sect finally appeared, their faces showing signs of panic.
At this moment, Yang Hua's face was ashen, and his sharp gaze fell on Ji Tianhe, causing the boy to tremble with fear. The other four disciples were also filled with terror upon seeing this.
"Get out here right now!" Yang Hua roared.
Upon hearing this, the five disciples of the Wentian Sect, led by Ji Tianhe, trembled and felt a chill run down their spines. They hurriedly stepped out of the formation and stood timidly behind the elders of the Wentian Sect, not daring to breathe loudly.
After Ji Tianhe and the others sent out their message, the magic array remained silent for a long time. This inevitably made the elders of the Wentian Sect and Yandang Sect anxious, and their expressions showed worry.
The two elders looked around again, and to their utter astonishment, of the thirty-one disciples who had entered the Qixia Sect, twenty-nine had emerged unharmed…
The only missing persons were the mysterious Elder Du and an unknown disciple.
The Wentian Sect sent only seven people, while the Yandang Sect sent only six...
If the magic array didn't still have teleportation power, indicating that there were still people in Hundred Flowers Valley who hadn't been teleported out, they would have been unable to accept this outcome and would probably have gone crazy long ago, possibly even starting a fight.
At this moment, Ouyang Xuan had already dispelled the barrier, revealing the five figures inside. Four of the disciples looked worried and anxious, while Ouyang Xuan himself had a furrowed brow and a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"Ouyang Xuan, what kind of tricks are you playing!" Yang Hua looked coldly at Ouyang Xuan and said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, do you have to give us an explanation?" The man in the python robe, who had been calm all along, turned cold and looked at Ouyang Xuan with hostility.
"Confess? Hmph! Hundred Flowers Valley has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak, and life and death are left to the individual. In the past, when your two sects were triumphant, you were all smiles. Now that you've fallen to this state, you can't even accept defeat!"
Ouyang Xuan snorted coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone, and said in a cold voice without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, the elders of both the Wentian Sect and the Yandang Sect blushed and were speechless for a moment.
"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, please don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant. It's just that your Qixia Sect has already produced twenty-nine disciples, while our two sects only have a single one. This has never happened before."
Now that the trip to Hundred Flowers Valley is over and everything has settled, you should at least inform us beforehand whether the remaining disciples of our two sects are alive or dead, so that we can be mentally prepared.
The man in the python robe forced a smile, chuckled, and spoke to Ouyang Xuan.
"Don't worry, the disciples of your two sects won't all die!" Ouyang Xuan was in a terrible mood, and even when facing the python-robed man with whom he had a good relationship, he couldn't say anything nice.
Yang Hua snorted coldly and didn't speak. With his experience, how could he not see that Ouyang Xuan was not feigning anger, but was genuinely enraged and on the verge of losing control? Therefore, he was unwilling to speak at this time and provoke this person.
Currently, only two members of the Qixia Sect have not yet emerged. The fact that Elder Du has encountered an accident is enough to give the Qixia Sect a headache. Now it seems that the other disciple is also no ordinary person. Yang Hua and the man in the python robe exchanged glances and couldn't help but think this.
After a full cup of tea's time, the disciples of the Wentian Sect and the Yandang Sect were finally brought out. These people were either carrying serious injuries or looking sighing and groaning, their morale extremely low.
It was obvious that they had only been teleported out at this point, meaning they were quite far from the core area of Hundred Flowers Valley. The elders of the various sects naturally didn't have high hopes for their gains on this trip, but it was still good that one more person could survive.
Half an hour later, the purple-gold magic array began to dim, and a few breaths later, it disappeared completely. From then on, all the living people in Hundred Flowers Valley were teleported out.
Looking at the disciples of the three sects here, Qixia Sect still has the original twenty-nine people, Wentian Sect has seventeen people, and Yandang Sect has fifteen people.
The three sects naturally couldn't start counting the spiritual herbs right here. However, based on past experience, the harvest is usually proportional to the number of people who survive. If judged in this way, the battle record of the three sects would be clear at a glance.
This result is actually not too bad for the Yandang Sect. Although the Yandang Sect's performance this time is not the best compared to the previous Hundred Flowers Valley trip, it is not the worst either. Everything is still acceptable, and the man in the python robe can accept this result.
Therefore, his expression softened somewhat, and a peaceful smile finally reappeared on his face.
Compared to Yandang Sect, Wentian Sect's performance was extremely dismal, setting the lowest record for the Hundred Flowers Valley trip in thousands of years. Therefore, Yang Hua's face was covered with a layer of frost that had lasted for thousands of years, making him extremely cold.
Due to the numerical superiority of the Wentian Sect, coupled with the fact that the sect's disciples were generally stronger than those of the other two sects, their worst performance in the Hundred Flowers Valley in the past was at least 27 or 28 survivors.
Now only seventeen people remain... How can Yang Hua, the team leader, accept this...?
What he found even more unbelievable and unacceptable was that, during the Hundred Flowers Valley trip, the Qixia Sect, which had always been at the bottom, actually had twenty-nine people walk out alive this time...
Yang Hua looked up and sighed deeply, his expression filled with extreme melancholy. For him, staying here for even a moment longer would be an unbearable humiliation. So, without saying a word, he immediately took out a large flying boat and left with all the Wentian Sect members present.
Seeing this, the man in the python robe smiled slightly and said to Ouyang Xuan, "I congratulate your sect on your outstanding achievement. I believe this matter will soon spread throughout the Central Plains. Qixia Sect's victory over Wentian Sect this time is truly remarkable, haha..."
"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, you're too kind." Ouyang Xuan was preoccupied with his own thoughts and had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with this person, so he simply gave a perfunctory reply.
"I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
The man in the python robe naturally noticed Ouyang Xuan's absent-mindedness and guessed that it was about Elder Du. Therefore, he did not linger and bid farewell before releasing his flying artifact and leaving with his sect members.
"Elder Ouyang, Elder Du and Chen Ru..." After the other two sects had completely disappeared, Lu Ziqing finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a worried look on her face, she stepped forward and asked.
"The odds are against us..." Ouyang Xuan sighed and shook his head.
"What? How could this be!" Even though the other elders were mentally prepared, they still couldn't bear to hear this.
