Chapter 972 is finally out!
On Sacred Flame Island in the Southern Continent, within the Sacred Flame Realm Passage.
After Xueyou dealt with Dou Meili, none of the other female disciples dared to say anything more.
Although the Jade Maiden Sect came to the Holy Flame Realm with a small number of people, the resources they obtained belonged to them and the sect would not take them back.
Furthermore, with Xue You requesting such resources from Pan Chengfeng, and the profits being shared among 500 people, their gains would undoubtedly make them among the biggest beneficiaries of this Holy Flame Realm event.
The resources obtained by disciples of other sects are divided among themselves: a portion is handed over to the sect, another portion is sold back to the sect, and the remainder is theirs.
The Yu Lei Sect operates on this principle: 30% is handed over, 50% is sold, and the remaining 20% is kept by them.
Although 80% of them belong to the sect, the remaining 20% can be chosen by the individual who needs the most resources.
The Jade Maiden Sect has already gained a great advantage, but Dou Meili is still not satisfied and actually wants to instigate Xue You to kill her.
Dou Meili was unaware that Pan Chengfeng had already won over Xue You, and Xue You's heart was now completely devoted to Pan Chengfeng.
When Xueyou heard Dou Meili ask her to kill Pan Chengfeng, she didn't immediately fly into a rage, which was already a great show of restraint.
If it weren't for the fact that Dou Meili's family had some influence within the sect, and Xue You was afraid of putting her master in a difficult position, she would have really wanted to eliminate Dou Meili.
Led by Xue You, the Jade Maiden Sect group walked out of the passage, and dozens of powerful divine senses immediately pressed down on them.
The Jade Maiden Sect Master, Duanmu Qing, snorted coldly, causing the space to tremble and the divine sense that had extended halfway to retreat.
Elder Guang Demao of the Fanhai Sect roared in fury, "Duanmu Qing! What are you doing?! Do you want to start a war with my Fanhai Sect?!"
Duanmu Qing coldly said, "What? You, the Overturning Sea Sect, are useless, so you want to take your anger out on my Jade Maiden Sect?!"
The news of the destruction of the Fanhai Sect has already been spread by cultivators from the southwestern continents.
The details, including the capture of Sun He of the Sword Sect and the seizure of their resources, are all clear.
Guang Demao's face turned ashen. Feng Di was dead. He was the sect leader's eldest disciple, one of the future candidates for sect leader, and a core disciple among core disciples.
Adding to that the twenty-odd core disciples of the Overturning Sea Sect, it can be said that a third of the Overturning Sea Sect's geniuses and elites have died, a truly devastating blow.
He doesn't know how to explain this to the sect when he gets back; he's definitely going to lose his position as an elder.
Sword Sect Elder Subude's face was also grim. Although the Sword Sect did not lose that many people, they were just there to make up the numbers in this trip to the Holy Flame Realm, and they also gained the reputation of being 'cowards who fear death'.
How could this group of sword cultivators bear? They'd been practicing swordsmanship, but in the end, they'd really been reduced to shameless behavior.
However, he dared not deal with Sun He now, as this man's identity was not simple, and he still had to take him back to the sect leader for punishment.
Duanmu Qing flashed and landed beside Xue You, asking softly, "Are you alright?"
Xueyou nodded slightly and said, "Disciple is fine, Master..."
"You don't need to say anything, just come with me."
Just as Duanmu Qing and his men were about to leave, a figure suddenly blocked Duanmu Qing's path and said, "Duanmu Qing, you may leave, but please stay, young friend Xue You!"
The newcomer was tall and imposing, with a deep, powerful aura. His eagle-like eyes were fixed intently on Xue You.
Duanmu Qing coldly said, "Lu Qingsong, how dare you block my way?!"
Lu Qingsong, the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect, is at the peak of the Integration Realm and is just one step away from reaching the Great Perfection Realm.
Lu Qingsong hadn't originally come to Holy Flame Island with the Sword Sect team, but upon discovering that his eldest son's life tablet had suddenly shattered within the sect, he rushed over on his own in shock and anger.
After arriving and making some inquiries, they learned that their son had been killed by Xue You, and they had come to "demand justice".
Xueyou frowned slightly and said softly, "If Senior Lu is asking whether I killed that scoundrel, I can tell you now that it was me."
Lu Qing's eyes glared angrily, his internal energy surged, and he said with a murderous aura, "How dare you! Since you admit it, then prepare to die!!"
Lu Qingsong condensed his magic into a large hand and grabbed at Xue You. Duanmu Qing's beautiful eyes flashed, and she made her move almost at the same time.
The two large hands collided in mid-air with a loud bang, and Lu Qingsong staggered back more than ten steps, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Perfect Fusion!"
Lu Qingsong shouted like a madman, "Good, good, good! Duanmu Qing, you've been hiding this for a long time!"
Even so, I will definitely kill this vile woman!! No one can stop me!!
Duanmu Qing coldly replied, "You?!"
"enough!"
A majestic voice rang out, and at the same time, a terrifying pressure arrived. However, this pressure only affected Lu Qingsong; the others were completely unharmed.
"I refuse to accept this! Palace Master Ying! I refuse to accept this!"
Seeing that Lu Qingsong still dared to be arrogant, Ying Chengxu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his pressure suddenly increased.
With a "pfft," Lu Qingsong spat out blood mixed with his internal organs.
Even so, Lu Qingsong still shouted "I'm not convinced".
Ying Chengxu seemed impatient and said coldly, "I know about this matter. Your son deserves it and has no one else to blame."
"If you keep making a scene, I'll send you down to keep your son company, understand?"
Since Ying Chengxu has said so, if Lu Qingsong dares to make any more noise, he will definitely die.
Seeing that Lu Qingsong remained silent, and looking at Ying Chengxu who was losing patience, Elder Subude of the Sword Sect hurriedly advised, "Elder, don't be stubborn. Quickly apologize to Palace Master Ying!"
Lu Qingsong gritted his teeth, refusing to admit his mistake. How could Ying Chengxu tolerate him? He frowned and said, "Then die!"
"Palace Master Ying, show mercy!" Subu shouted, "For the sake of..."
Before Subude could finish speaking, with a 'snap,' a peak Nascent Soul cultivator vanished into dust.
Ying Chengxu said calmly, "The competition is not over yet. Anyone who dares to make a move again will face the consequences."
Everyone fell silent, terrified.
Duanmu Qingchao bowed slightly to Ying Chengxu and led his disciples back to the Jade Maiden Sect's location.
The loss of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator by the Sword Sect is a great thing for the Eastern Continent.
Liu Qian was overjoyed and immediately sent a telepathic message to Shangguan Yun, asking, "Palace Master Ying seems to be in a bad mood. May I ask what's wrong?"
Shangguan Yun replied, "I'm not sure. Let's just avoid trouble."
Liu Qian glanced around at the various forces, noticing several cultivators surrounded by murderous aura. Overjoyed, she thought, "Even if we don't cause trouble, they might not be able to resist!"
"Palace Master Ying would be better off wiping them all out~ That would make things much easier if our Eastern Continent and Southern Continent went to war~"
"That's probably not enough."
Shangguan Yun looked towards the passage and smiled slightly, "But once that kid comes out, I think it will be about time."
The two were secretly exchanging words, and Ge Xun, who was nearby, naturally sensed it and quickly interjected, "What are you talking about? Are you trying to hide it from me?"
Shangguan Yun chuckled, "We're talking about how many people will be unable to resist making a move later, so Palace Master Ying can help us kill more Nascent Soul cultivators~"
Ge Xun was overjoyed and said, "Can it really be like this? Although the Fanhai Sect was destroyed, Guang Demao of the Fanhai Sect doesn't seem like an impulsive person!"
Liu Qian replied, "If Guang Demao is no good, then let's look at the Corpse Demon Sect of Xizhou, and Su Bude of the Sword Sect!"
If that doesn't work, drag the Purple Gold Mansion into it too!
As the three were discussing how to provoke the Nascent Soul cultivators, a streak of light suddenly streaked across the sky.
Nangong Xing frowned slightly and said, "Why is this old bastard here too?"
The newcomer dared not fly directly into the square.
Instead, it stopped 5,000 meters outside the square, then landed and teleported several times, appearing in front of everyone.
The newcomer bowed and cupped his hands in greeting to Ying Chengxu, saying, "Grand Elder Wu Kuishan of the Purple Gold Mansion pays respects to Palace Master Ying."
Ying Chengxu nodded slightly and asked, "Elder Wu, are you here to pick up this junior as well?"
Speaking of his juniors, Wu Kuishan's tall figure suddenly trembled, and his voice was somewhat desolate as he said, "Kuishan has come to collect his disciple's body..."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xing was slightly startled. He quickly scanned the Zijin Mansion's ranks with his divine sense, and then transmitted his voice to Nangong Tian, asking, "He Yandong is dead?!"
After obtaining the Demon-Companion Grass, Nangong Xing was so happy that he didn't even know that He Yandong had died.
Nangong Tian replied, "I will report this matter to Father in detail when we return."
Nangong Xing had a bad feeling. Although He Yandong was not very good, Wu Kuishan had no son and had always raised He Yandong as his son.
Moreover, Wu Kuishan had taken in eight disciples in his life, but the first seven all died in battle for the Zijin Mansion, leaving only He Yandong as his sole heir.
Now that He Yandong is dead, Nangong Xing can't guarantee that Wu Kuishan won't go crazy.
Although Wu Kuishan only has the cultivation of the peak of the Integration stage, he is still senior in terms of seniority. If you really want to count, Wu Kuishan is Nangong Xing's senior uncle.
Ying Chengxu showed no emotion upon hearing Wu Kuishan's words, simply saying, "Please accept my condolences."
Wu Kuishan cupped his hands in greeting and returned to the Zijin Mansion's group. His first objective was to find Hua Rendong.
After exchanging a few words, Wu Kuishan looked toward the direction of the Thunder Control Sect.
Nangong Xing hurriedly transmitted his voice: "Elder Wu, this time Tian'er helped the sect obtain the Demon Companion Grass."
In just twenty or thirty years, I, the Lord of this manor, will be able to break through to the Mahayana stage!
"I'll take you with me to wipe out the Thunder Control Sect!"
Wu Kuishan gritted his teeth and replied, "The Thunder Control Sect must be destroyed, but today I must first eliminate one person!"
Nangong Xing was about to try and persuade him when a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the passage, followed by a smug voice: "Haha~ Finally out~"
