"Phew!" Qi Heng let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead as he walked out of the conference hall. Fortunately, Zhang nglong didn’t hold on to his previous offenses against him; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have known how to wrap things up.
"How did it go, Sect Master? Is he willing to return the Imperial Armor to us?" The Great Elder eagerly approached.
"We paid so price, but we managed to quell his anger," Qi Heng said.
In the end, besides dispatching forces from the Jie Dao Sect to Xuanyun City for rescue, he also spent ten tis the price to essentially buy back the Imperial Armor. Fortunately, the price hadn’t soared for long, and it was still within a level that the whole sect could manage, so it was only a bit extorted.
But that’s only for a super sect; in the secular Empire, even if thousands of Ninth Grade Empires sold everything they owned, they couldn’t co up with such a large sum of Divine Crystals.
"That’s good!" Hearing this answer, the Great Elder finally sighed in relief.
"However, we must hurry. Gu Xiao is now besieged in Xuanyun City. Who knows how long his formation can hold? We have to arrive before the city is broken, or our efforts will be in vain. Retrieving the Imperial Armor from Gu Xiao is much easier than from the Divine Profound Hall."
"Understood!" The Great Elder nodded and imdiately issued a sect call, "All junior and interdiate Elders, gather imdiately and head for Xuanyun City!"
...
In half a day’s ti, Zhang nglong contacted all the leaders of the superpowers, eventually getting a unanimous result. They had assembled their manpower as quickly as possible and headed toward Xuanyun City.
Their attitude was exceedingly urgent; it was apparent that they were even more anxious than Zhang nglong internally.
If they hadn’t known where these treasures were, that would be one thing. But now they knew these items were with Zhang nglong, and each of them wished they could appear by his side imdiately, fearing he might be captured by the Divine Profound Hall first!
"Boss, where did you get these things?"
During this process, the disciples of the Sunset Sect fully listened in on their conversation.
After exploring the Ancient Cave Heaven, everyone knew it was the origin of superpowers; they also knew that due to reasons like Blood Demons and Night Demons, they were forced to leave. The leaders and core mbers of each superpower disappeared, and eventually, so small fry left the Ancient Cave Heaven and beca the core figures of these current superpowers.
However, all the supre treasures initially held by these superpowers’ leaders were lost. To this day, their whereabouts remain unknown, yet now these things were with Zhang nglong!
The Honor King Cauldron of Shennong Valley, the Imperial Armor of Jie Dao Sect, the Divine Sovereign Sword of Yujian Villa, the Founder’s Hamr of Hundred Refinent City, etc....
Since the Shamate Clan mbers weren’t outsiders, Zhang nglong told them about discovering the special underground space.
"Clan Leader, you’re really profiting from the dead!"
"I’m so envious! I’m so envious!"
"If you’re envious, you have to have the ability to enter! Can you single-handedly take on so many Blood Demons or have so other talents?"
"The Clan Leader has practically put the lifeline of all superpowers in his hands."
"No wonder the Clan Leader is so knowledgeable about the martial arts techniques of other superpowers. Turns out he has a cheat code! Good thing we wisely joined the Sunset Sect back then, or we wouldn’t be here today!"
"Tut tut tut, those superpowers are probably on the verge of tears now, aren’t they?"
...
"I can maintain this formation for another three to five days without issue," Zhang nglong glanced at the Divine Profound Hall Elders still fully exerting themselves, "That should be enough until reinforcents arrive, so let’s take it easy; we’ll crush them when the ti cos."
Zhang nglong shouted at them, "Hit hard, don’t stop; you’re close to breaking the formation. Hang in there a little more!"
Outside the formation, Elder Xi and the others gritted their teeth. Zhang nglong really was full of cheekiness, even now still being provocative.
"Don’t get cocky; no one will co to rescue you. Once we break the formation, you’ll be the first to be torn to pieces!"
"Everyone, give it your all. This ti the sect should have provided you with supplies. Don’t be stingy with your power; let’s break the formation quickly and end this farce!"
...
Three days passed quickly, and the Elders of the Divine Profound Hall were still fighting with all their might, but Zhang nglong and others were incredibly at ease, spending their ti wandering around, dining, occasionally teasing the city of Xuanyun City, or taunting the Elders of the Divine Profound Hall at the formation, saying so cocky things, simply not doing anything serious.
From the perspective of the Divine Profound Hall Elders, this behavior was very abnormal. They shouldn’t be so relaxed; it even looked like a pre-apocalypse celebration. However, there was a vague sense of unease that they couldn’t quite grasp.
"Crack!" Finally, a crisp sound ca from the sky. After three days of unceasing attacks, the formation showed so cracks!
"Everyone, focus your efforts, let’s break the formation!" Elder Xi, who was originally a bit weary, beca excited upon witnessing this scene.
The Elders of the Divine Profound Hall also swallowed a few elixirs to restore their energy for themselves; this was the last strike!
As a radiant beam, several dragon-shaped auras circled Xuanyun City a few tis, fading away slowly with an unwilling roar...
"Hahaha! Gu Xiao, let’s see how you escape this ti!" Elder Xi laughed flamboyantly, "Elders, co with to capture these damned Sunset Sect disciples; others may be killed on the spot, but Gu Xiao must be captured alive!"
Three days had passed, and all the Elders were suppressing a fit of anger, finally finding an outlet this ti.
"Boss, it’s broken!"
"Have reinforcents arrived yet?"
Looking at the approaching Elders of the Divine Profound Hall, everyone was sowhat panicked.
"Almost," Zhang nglong nodded with a smile, "Esteed seniors, you’ve been watching the show for so long, it’s about ti you revealed yourselves?"
"Hahahahaha, Elder Xi, you over a dozen Dao Realm Elders, dealing with a group of young ones numbering only a tenth of your group, aren’t you ashad?" With a mocking voice, the first batch of reinforcents arrived.
"That disgusting herbal sll... Could it be that botherso group?" Elder Xi looked skyward disdainfully, "Why are the Shennong Valley people here?"
The Shennong Valley’s strength was relatively weaker, but almost every one of them controlled one or even several potent flas.
Moreover, each of them had a complicated network of relationships, often having great influence; thus, even the Divine Profound Hall usually wouldn’t provoke Shennong Valley easily.
With the appearance of one aura after another, the sky suddenly filled with over ten thousand people, all of whom were Elders of Shennong Valley, with power above the Dao Realm!
"How could this be?" Originally, Elder Xi thought Zhang nglong might have private connections with Shennong Valley people, perhaps bringing a few helpers; seeing their overwhelming numbers, handling this wouldn’t be trivial.
But how could he have imagined that even the primary Elders of Shennong Valley were all dispatched, and a portion of interdiate Elders too? What kind of magic does this Gu Xiao have to make Shennong Valley support him so much?
"Surprised?" Zhang nglong said to Elder Xi, "But this is only just the beginning. My reinforcents have yet to all arrive!"
