Chapter 3847: A Group of 100 People
At this time, the group from the Tai Yi Sect did not have the intention to fight with the group from the Flying Dragon Sect. All they wanted now was to escape. With this, they quickly entered a passive state. Some of them began to fight back when they saw their comrades being killed, but it was too late. At this time, the disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect had far exceeded their number since many of their comrades had died.
Due to the advantage, it did not take long for the group from the Flying Dragon Sect to kill those from the Tai Yi Sect. A few disciples from the Tai Yi Sect almost succeeded in escaping, but they were quickly dealt with by Duan Ling Tian at the critical moment.
Only 40 seconds had passed from the time the Flying Dragon Sect disciples attacked. In the end, it only took them slightly more than 40 seconds to kill everyone in the group from the Tai Yi Sect.
In contrast to the total annihilation of the group from the Tai Yi Sect, only a few people from the Tai Yi Sect suffered minor injuries.
“Master Duan, if it weren’t for you, we would’ve lost a lot of our men,” the middle-aged man, an outer deacon of the Flying Dragon Sect, said with a bow, “Thank you for your help.”
Following that, the group from the Flying Dragon Sect that had 23 people thanked Duan Ling Tian in unison.
“Thank you, Master Duan!”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Duan!”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “There’s no need to thank me. After all, I didn’t do it for nothing.”
With this, the middle-aged man instructed the others to gather the identity tokens and treasures of the fallen disciples from the Tai Yi Sect. Apart from the identity tokens, they managed to obtain 28 spatial rings and 32 prominent divine artifacts.
The middle-aged man then said to Duan Ling Tian, “Master Duan, we don’t know what’s in the rings. You can choose fourteen spatial rings and sixteen prominent divine artifacts first.” Then, before Duan Ling Tian could respond, he looked to the others and asked, “Do any of you have a problem with this?”
The others hurriedly shook their heads in response. Even if there were a few who thought Duan Ling Tian was too greedy, they did not dare to say anything. They would definitely be criticized if they spoke out at this moment. All in all, they would not gain anything from speaking out. Moreover, all of them knew if it were not for Duan Ling Tian’s timely appearance, some of them might have died. The loot from the Tai Yi Sect disciples was nothing compared to their lives.
“If the chance arises, I hope to work with all of you again,” Duan Ling Tian said as he put away his part of the loot.
Then, before anyone could react, Duan Ling Tian had already teleported away.
The middle-aged man, the leader of the group, said, “Let’s find a place to rest and recover before we continue killing disciples from the Tai Yi Sect. With the battle this time, we’re not far from meeting the minimum requirements.”
Naturally, no one opposed the middle-aged man’s suggestion. As they traveled, they began to discuss among themselves.
“Do you think Duan Ling Tian will be able to break through and become a Lord of Gods before he reaches 10,000 years old?”
“Lord of Gods? Are you joking? He’s just an advanced King of Gods now.”
“That’s right! Moreover, he’s not even 3,000 years old!”
“I’m sure the deaths of the 28 disciples from the Tai Yi Sect will cause a huge commotion.”
Upon hearing this, the others agreed.
“Of course! The spies they planted in our sect will also relay news to them that none of us died!”
Someone laughed. “I suddenly feel it’s great that the Tai Yi Sect planted spies in our sect. Otherwise, the Tai Yi Sect won’t be able to find out so quickly that we didn’t suffer any casualties while 23 of their members died!”
“I agree! I couldn’t stand the thought of the spies in our sect previously. However, those spies don’t seem that annoying anymore.”
This group of disciples from the Flying Dragon Sect were unaware that just a few days ago, 20 disciples from the Tai Yi Sect had also perished on the King Battlefield. Similarly, no one from the Flying Dragon Sect died.
…
Tai Yi City.
When the elder on duty at the entrance of the King Battlefield discovered that 28 Soul Pearls had shattered, his expression changed drastically.
Although this was not the first time it had happened, it still stirred up a huge commotion just like before. The commotion grew even bigger when they received news that there was no casualty among the Kings of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect.
At this moment, the high-rank officials of the Tai Yi Sect were gloomy and anxious.
On the contrary, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect was quiet and expressionless. Nonetheless, everyone knew it was just the calm before the storm.
After three days, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect ordered the Kings of Gods who had yet to enter the King Battlefield to form a few large groups. To be precise, it was more accurate to say he ordered them to form an army. Each of the ‘groups’ had at least 100 people. Then, he personally selected three people, two core disciples and one inner deacon of the Tai Yi Sect, to lead these armies.
The three people, who were selected, were outstanding Kings of Gods, and it just so happened that they had yet to enter the King Battlefield.
The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect also strictly ordered them to kill at least 100 people from the Flying Dragon Sect. Otherwise, not only were they not allowed to leave the King Battlefield, but they would also be punished.
Although the disciples were reluctant and willing, they had no choice but to accept the orders. They not only have to risk their lives on the King Battlefield to kill their opponents, but they were also risking their lives just to survive in the Tai Yi Sect.
…
A commotion broke out as well when the Flying Dragon Sect received news that the Tai Yi Sect had ordered Kings of Gods to form groups with 100 people to kill disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect. Naturally, they also heard that three outstanding Kings of Gods had been chosen to lead these people.
The Kings of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect who had yet to enter the King Battlefield were naturally frightened.
Some of them even had the thought to enter the King Battlefield before the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect could give them the same orders as the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect. Alas, they were too late. The entrance to the King Battlefield in Flying Dragon City was blocked as the elders in charge relayed the orders of the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.
“The sect leader has ordered for the entrance to the King Battlefield to be closed for now. He wants everyone who has yet to enter the King Battlefield to form a huge group to kill the disciples of the Tai Yi Sect. As long as the group is able to kill 100 people from the Tai Yi Sect, everyone will be considered to have met the minimum requirements for three years. Those who shirk their duties will not only be punished, but their relatives will also be punished.
Unlike the Tai Yi Sect, the Flying Dragon Sect did not prohibit its disciples from leaving the King Battlefield. Instead, the sect tried to encourage them by giving them a practical reward. In addition, they also added a punishment to ensure no one would shirk their duties.
“Fight!”
The Flying Dragon Sect’s Kings of Gods rushed into the King Battlefield, filled with killing intent, after forming a group.
Two people had been selected to lead the groups. One of them was the king-rank 10,000 Flowers Valley’s Lady Seven, who was the daughter of Xue Hai Chuan’s friend.
The other person who was chosen was a young man dressed in a brocade robe. He was slender and handsome. However, his eyes flashed with lust whenever he looked at Lady Seven. At this moment, he said, “Junior Sister Seven, if you encounter any danger, you can come to me. I’ll protect you.”
Lady Seven ignored the young man’s ‘kind’ offer. A frown and an expression of disgust could be seen on her face when she looked at him.
Despite being ignored, the young man was not discouraged. He asked, “Junior Sister Seven, I heard that no one in the sect has seen your appearance. When are you going to remove your veil?”
Meanwhile, the disciples who followed behind the duo could not help but frown slightly when they heard those words.
‘This is the person whom the sect leader chose to lead us?’
Lady Seven could no longer endure and finally said frostily, “Shut up. Don’t talk to me again unless it’s necessary. If you talk again, I’ll sever your tongue. If you keep looking at me with that lewd expression, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Lady Seven’s sudden outburst shocked everyone. After all, she had always been known as a gentle and quiet beauty. They had no idea she had such a fierce side as well.
The young man was unaffected by Lady Seven’s threats. He smiled brightly as he said, “Junior Sister Seven, if you want to sever my tongue and gouge my eyes out, you have to be stronger than me.”
“Do you want to give it a try?” Lady Seven’s voice turned even frostier. She stopped in her tracks and looked at the young man.
The young man and the 100 disciples following behind came to a halt as well at the entrance to the King Battlefield.
