Chapter 170 - 169: Hanging the Corpse

Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Hanging the Corpse"It’s fine as long as you’re okay..." Jiang Jing let out a huge sigh of relief, her eyes slightly reddened. "The Sect Masters are back!" The disciples of the Nine Peaks of Emperor Immortal Sect were also excited and tense. "I wonder if we won this time at the exchange conference," a disciple whispered. About the matters of Wansheng Mountain Arena, only Jiang Jing was informed by the old ancestor Zhou Chaolong; the others were still unaware of what happened there. Therefore, their attention was focused on the exchange conference. "With the help of our brothers Liu Tianhao, Huang Nian, and Wen Lin, and the rise of our eldest brother, coupled with the Holy Daughter’s presence, we must be able to win!" "Not necessarily, you should know that a Lin Feiyan has recently emerged in Lie Tian Academy, a War God Body of top-tier nobility, with very strong strength." "Right, and Zhang Yanliang, the number one youth of Lie Tian Academy—those two are the toughest to deal with. Coupled with our Sect’s disciples of other realms always falling short of Lie Tian Academy, the outcome of this exchange conference isn’t easy to say." "......" In the midst of various discussions, Zhou Zihuang, along with Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, and others, descended in front of the mountain gate. "Husband." Jiang Jing was the first to fly towards Zhou Zihuang, directly rushing into his arms. This scene left the disciples somewhat flabbergasted. Although Jiang Jing and Zhou Zihuang were husband and wife, they hardly ever embraced in front of others. The occurrence of such a scene today was indeed a surprise to them. Zhou Zihuang was stunned for a moment, but then seemed to understand and comforted her softly, "It’s all right now." "As long as you are alright." Jiang Jing’s eyes were slightly red as she looked towards Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan. "Merely a rabble," Ye Xuan said with an indifferent smile. Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing couldn’t help laughing. "Just by hearing you say that, I don’t even need to think to know that those guys must have been dealt with by you." seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Xuan touched his nose and said peculiarly, "Mother-in-law trusts me so much now?" If it were before, Jiang Jing would probably scold him for talking nonsense and speaking arrogantly. It seemed that now, Jiang Jing had gotten used to it? She could even infer the whole picture from a small hint. "Stop your nonsense," Jiang Jing glared at Ye Xuan. "Sect Master." At this moment, Wu Jingshan, along with Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan, walked up and paid their respects to Zhou Zihuang. Zhou Zihuang nodded slightly, indicating that they need not be overly courteous. "How did this battle turn out?" Yu Wenlei asked, unaware of the incident in Wansheng Mountain Arena. "We were completely victorious," Zhou Zihuang said with a slight smile, paused, and then added, "However, some things happened afterward, Elder Qiu will tell you about them later." The crowd looked at Qiu Wenhan with some confusion. Other matters? What else could have happened? But since we won, it’s not important anymore. "Hahaha, we won!" Upon hearing the news, the other disciples of the Nine Peaks were incredibly excited. "I said so, we’ve always been able to surpass Lie Tian Academy, and we’re sure to do it this time too!" "It’s good to win, it’s good to win!" The many disciples were all extremely thrilled. In fact, their morale was greatly affected after the death of Leng Yifan. After all, Leng Yifan had a very large influence in the Emperor Immortal Sect. It used to be Leng Yifan leading the team, achieving victory every time. This time, with Ye Xuan leading the team and the emergence of an exceptional genius on the opponent’s side, they originally didn’t have much confidence. Unexpectedly, they still won! Although they didn’t know the specifics, as long as they had won, that was good enough. They didn’t know that the "invincible" Lin Feiyan and Zhang Yanliang, whom they talked about, were hung up and beaten by Ye Xuan. If they knew, they probably would’ve been stunned in disbelief. "Everyone step back, Elder Lu still has things to attend to," Zhou Zihuang’s voice arose, suppressing the noise of the crowd. Although everyone was curious, they all followed Zhou Zihuang’s command obediently and returned to the Sect. "Attend to what?" Jiang Jing was puzzled. "Hanging corpses," Ye Xuan said with a grin. "Hanging corpses?" Jiang Jing was slightly startled. As the crowd dispersed, Lu Chengde took to the sky, taking out the corpses of Thousand Blood Demon, Xiushui True Person, and the trio from the Wu Longzhou, his hand trembled, and he nailed their corpses in the air with True Qi. "What’s that?" Seeing the scene, many disciples were utterly shocked. "Seems like corpses..." Some sharp-eyed disciples’ pupils shrank. "Whose corpses?!" "I don’t know," This caused quite a stir. "This is..." However, Yu Wenlei, Nie Shan, and others had recognized the identities of the three people! "Xuanmo Cave’s Thousand Blood Fiend, Smoke Mist Mountain’s Shui Xiu True Person, and the War God of Sacred Land of Wu Longzhou!" "What?!" "What’s going on?!" They were all shocked. These were people from the three great cultivation sacred lands! "It’s actually them!" Jiang Jing’s face turned pale the instant she saw the corpses of the three people. "After the exchange conference ended, the people from the three great cultivation sacred lands appeared, joining forces with Lie Tian Heavenly Country, intending to trap and kill us in the Wansheng Mountain Arena with the Eighth Rank Spirit Array ’Cloud Mountain Entrapment Array.’ Fortunately, our ancestor made a move to save us and killed the people from the three great cultivation sacred lands, and these three were the main leaders who sneaked an attack on us." Zhou Zihuang spoke loudly, "Today, we nail the corpses of the three at the Mountain Gate as a warning to others." "Those who offend the Emperor Immortal Sect," "will be pursued and punished, no matter the distance!" Their spirits were high! It made everyone present feel their blood boiling. What of the three great cultivation sacred lands? Dare to trouble the Emperor Immortal Sect, and you still must die! Many disciples were excited and overjoyed. Their ancestor was still alive! But in the hearts of Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan, there was a slight sinking feeling. The ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect was still alive?! This... "Is it really so?" After listening to Zhou Zihuang’s words, Jiang Jing subconsciously looked towards Youwei and Ye Xuan. Her intuition told her that Ye Xuan must have been involved in this matter. But Zhou Zihuang’s words did not mention Ye Xuan at all. Ye Xuan, sensing Jiang Jing’s gaze, calmly said, "The tree that sticks out above the forest is the one that the wind blows down first." Jiang Jing was inwardly shaken and immediately understood. Indeed, in such a serious matter, if Ye Xuan was truly involved, other powers knowing it would definitely turn their attention to Ye Xuan. This would be a big problem for Ye Xuan. As for credit and such, it’s enough that they know about it. The words of Zhou Zihuang were deliberately made by Ye Xuan who let Zhou Zihuang speak in such manner. He was very clear that if his merits were made public, it would be the same as telling the three great cultivation sacred lands that the reason they capsized was all due to the schemes of Ye Xuan... In this way, Ye Xuan would encounter a lot of unnecessary trouble. This was also why Ye Xuan went to find Zhou Chaolong and others five days prior, only if they appeared could they attract everyone’s attention away, instead of focusing on him, an unknown soldier. Otherwise, even with just Ye Xuan alone, he could still have easily overturned those people. Let’s not talk about his Eternal Emperor Soul; the power of Emperor Immortal Sect’s Emperor Foundation alone is not something ordinary people can imagine. Perhaps to others, the Emperor Foundation of the Emperor Immortal Sect is only limited to within the Emperor Immortal Sect. But Ye Xuan knew that the true Emperor Foundation of the Emperor Immortal Sect encompasses a radius of a million miles... Wansheng Mountain Arena, Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and even Huainan Mountain Jiang Family, and the three great cultivation sacred lands, were all within it! It’s just that with Ye Xuan’s current strength, he was not yet able to control the complete Emperor Foundation. However, within this Wansheng Mountain Arena, he could still handle it perfectly. The reason he let Zhou Chaolong take action was simply because Ye Xuan needed someone to act as a shield, to avoid unnecessary trouble. As for those from Lie Tian Academy, even if they knew, it wouldn’t matter. The words of a bunch of youngsters would not be believed by anyone. One was Ye Xuan, whose reputation was once notorious, and the other was the invincible ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Those ’important people’ would have their own judgement. Thus, it would instil fear in Lie Tian Heavenly Country towards him and also intimidate the three great cultivation sacred lands with Zhou Chaolong’s show of strength. Then there was Liu Tianhao. He too knew that the main director of everything was Ye Xuan. But all this was intentionally done by Ye Xuan. Right from the time they joined the sect, Ye Xuan had already figured out there were problems with them, and this time, it was an intangible deterrent to prevent them from acting rashly. The Emperor Immortal Sect of the present still needed to consume the recently acquired cultivation resources, and didn’t have the luxury to engage in battles with others. "Ye Xuan, let’s go," said Zhou Zihuang after making the announcement, looking towards Ye Xuan with a hint of excitement in his eyes. "Let’s go," Ye Xuan nodded slightly. The two left straight away. "What are those two up to?" Jiang Jing was somewhat puzzled. "Secret," Youwei said with a slight smile.
