Free Web NovelChapter 2575: Chapter 2575: What Are You Laughing At?
Although it was confirmed by the disciples of the Nine Immortal Sects that all twenty-nine young disciples of the Wuying Sect had perished within Sword Gorge, neither the Shadowless Immortal Emperor nor the Wuheng Immortal Emperor immediately departed with the Haoyue Immortal King.
There was still a sliver of hope in their hearts.
What if the disciples of the Nine Immortal Sects were colluding to deceive them?
So they remained at the end of Sword Gorge, continuing to wait, hoping for a miracle.
The disciples of the other Immortal Sects were also in no hurry to leave.
Firstly, the disciples of each Immortal Sect had spent a month in Sword Gorge for training, depleting their Immortal Qi and Divine Sense, and needed a period of rest.
Secondly, they also wanted to see whether besides the Haoyue Immortal King, if there were any other surviving disciples of the Wuying Sect.
Thirdly, whether it was the elders of Wuying Sect or the elders of other Immortal Sects, they all wanted to find out whether this incident was due to the extreme bad luck of Wuying Sect’s disciples or if there were some Immortals or forces deliberately targeting Wuying Sect.
If it was the latter, then Wuying Sect would likely use the full power of their sect to investigate the matter, and if the culprit was found, they would retaliate at all costs.
Ten days later, there was still no sign of Wuying disciples, nor were there any suspicious Immortals appearing near Sword Gorge. Finally, the Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor gave up, leaving under the watchful eyes of the disciples from all Immortal Sects, looking utterly defeated.
And the disciples of each Immortal Sect also no longer stayed, leaving under the guidance of their respective elders.
Before leaving, Fang Bai, in the guise of "Haoyue Immortal King," transmitted a message to Lianyue Fairy, and what he said made her extremely delighted. On the way back to Immortal Bow Hall, her pretty face was adorned with a bright smile like sunshine.
"Lianyue, what are you smiling about?"
Fairy Minyue couldn’t help but ask upon seeing her beloved disciple smiling from ear to ear.
Lianyue Fairy’s eyes turned slightly, and she said cheerfully, "Master, didn’t I perform quite well in this Sword Gorge training? Will there be some reward when we go back?"
Fairy Minyue chuckled and patted her head, saying, "So that’s what you’re thinking about! Rest assured, when we return to the Immortal Bow Hall, I will inform the Hall Master together with Yunxiao Immortal Emperor about everything that happened before and after the Sword Gorge training, and you won’t be missing your rewards!"
After a pause, she continued, "Before the Sword Gorge training, you defended against a formidable enemy on the Immortal Platform, defeated your opponent, and helped our Immortal Bow Hall maintain its position among the Ten Immortal Sects. Moreover, during the subsequent training in Sword Gorge, you were the only one from our Immortal Bow Hall to comprehend Sword Intent and advance. This opportunity is extremely rare and will greatly benefit your future journey along the Immortal Dao! The Hall Master will surely be pleased when he finds out!"
The disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall beside them, upon hearing the conversation between Fairy Minyue and Lianyue Fairy, all looked at Lianyue Fairy with envious eyes.
In their minds, although this Sister Lianyue currently had a cultivation level of only the sixth rank in the Immortal King Realm and wasn’t considered outstanding among the sect’s younger generation, her excellent performance in this training would undoubtedly gain the attention of the sect’s leadership, and she would soon surpass them.
Thus, some of the quick-witted disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall seized the opportunity to engage in conversation and laughter with Lianyue Fairy, aiming to strengthen their relationship with her.
Lianyue Fairy wasn’t particularly scheming or calculative; whoever treated her well, she reciprocated in kind. When those senior and junior peers proactively gathered around her for a chat, she also responded with smiles, maintaining an attitude of humility and respect.
As for the few who felt jealous and couldn’t communicate with her harmoniously, she didn’t get upset and remained calmly composed, neither showing arrogance nor diminishing her presence.
The various demeanors of their own sect’s disciples were entirely observed by the Yunxiao Immortal Emperor and Fairy Minyue, who occasionally exchanged smiles without intervening.
Among the disciples of each Immortal Sect, various conflicts inevitably existed, but healthy competition was more beneficial than detrimental for a sect. As long as they didn’t resort to malicious and treacherous means to harm their peers, the sect’s upper echelon wouldn’t step in to interfere.
The return of the Immortal Bow Hall disciples to their sect goes unmentioned.
But let’s talk about Fang Bai, who, along with the Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor, flew on a gigantic Immortal Bird towards the direction of Wuying Sect.
The brothers, Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor, wore gloomy expressions, sat silent, and were in an extremely poor mood.
This time, the disciples they brought for training in Sword Gorge were none other than the most outstanding young disciples of the Wuying Sect, future leaders of the new generation.
Infuriatingly, those disciples with the most potential had perished inside Sword Gorge, with no clue as to the perpetrator.
Of the thirty disciples sent, only one Haoyue Immortal King returned, creating bitterness in the hearts of the Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor, uncertain about how to explain themselves to the Sect Master or face the tens of thousands of sect disciples.
Sitting cross-legged behind the backs of the Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai heard these two high-ranking Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses continuously sighing, his lips curled into a mocking smile.
When they were about ten thousand miles away from Wuying Sect, Fang Bai gradually stood up from the Immortal Bird’s back.
"Haoyue, why are you smiling? At this moment, how can you still smile?"
Wuheng Immortal Emperor turned his head to glance at the "Haoyue Immortal King," seeing the smile on his lips, and feeling already frustrated, he shouted angrily.
"Haoyue, wipe off that smile! How out of line!"
Although Traceless Immortal Emperor didn’t shout at the "Haoyue Immortal King" like Wuheng Immortal Emperor did, his tone was also cold.
As a disciple of the Wuying Sect, having lost numerous peers, even if one should pretend, they should feign a look of grief, not appear before the tens of thousands of disciples of the Wuying Sect with a smile as Haoyue Immortal King did.
"Hehe... Haha... Hahaha..."
This Haoyue was not the usual Haoyue, and naturally did not care about the reproaches of the two Wuying Sect elders. Instead of retracting his smile, he put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter.
"Fool!"
"Haoyue, are you out of your mind!"
The Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor were absolutely furious. If this "Haoyue Immortal King" wasn’t the only surviving disciple from their expedition and had comprehended Sword Intent in Sword Gorge, making him valuable for future training, they would have wanted to slap him to death.
"Thirty young disciples of Wuying Sect are dead, and you two still have the audacity to return to Wuying Sect?"
Fang Bai abruptly stopped laughing, then pointed at the Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor, speaking with a blank expression.
A disciple, only in the sixth rank of the Immortal King Realm, dared to utter such words to two elders whose strength and status were second only to the Sect Master?
The Wuheng Immortal Emperor and Traceless Immortal Emperor looked at each other, both thinking they must have misheard.
"Do you understand what you’re saying?"
Wuheng Immortal Emperor, regained composure, looked at Fang Bai, his face stern and his gaze harsh.
"I’m saying... you two should have died together with the thirty Wuying Sect disciples!"
Fang Bai didn’t avoid the stern gaze of Wuheng Immortal Emperor, his eyes radiating an icy chill.
