CHAPTER 1121: CHAPTER 748: WANT TO LEAVE? DID YOU ASK ME?

After finishing their rest, the group once again set out together the next day, using the same methods.

These sects were completely subdued, having no choice but to return all that had been taken from them.

Even the Xuanyue Sect had heard the news. The Sect Master of Xuanyue Sect was a Yeming Demon, belonging to the same race as Wang Yang’s transformation.

With his hands clasped behind his back, standing atop the mountain peak, upon hearing this news, he couldn’t help but frown: "Why is the Eastern Peak Sect being so ostentatious now, and who are these people?"

The one standing behind the Sect Master was a former Elder of the Eastern Peak Sect from the valley.

He quickly responded to the Sect Master: "Reporting to the Sect Master, we have been investigating these days, but these people came silently, and we have no idea of their origins. Moreover, the path of their cultivation techniques is something we have never seen before."

The Sect Master turned his head and asked: "Is it possible that they are hired help, or perhaps people with ulterior motives?"

"This... we currently do not know, but the previous Sect Master of Eastern Peak was from a Great Sect in Xing State. As for the reason for coming here to establish the Eastern Peak Sect, we do not know. If it’s under the sect’s authorization, this could very well be the intention of the sect itself?"

This was the worst possibility they considered. If it truly was intended by the other sect, then they’d be in deep trouble.

After all, no matter how strong they were, they couldn’t surpass a Great Sect from Xing State.

Although the saying goes that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, the way they were gradually advancing was not something they could easily handle.

Moreover, they were in the dark while they were in the open, which was inherently an unfair competition.

In just a few short days, Wang Yang and others had already led the group to plunder many sects.

Eight sects, except for Xuanyue Sect, had almost been thoroughly looted.

And their methods were extremely similar. In the end, upon hearing the news, these sects voluntarily returned their resources, not daring to engage in battle.

People in these sects were constantly discussing behind their backs, always feeling that these people were not from a sect but rather bandits and robbers.

Xiu Huang laughed heartily, this feeling was truly refreshing.

"Refreshing, absolutely refreshing. Staying inside the Eastern Peak Sect all this time, I was about to go stir-crazy."

Du Feng, however, could not be as happy: "Now, only the last Xuanyue Sect remains. This Xuanyue Sect is extremely powerful. With our combined strength, it would be very challenging to take them down."

After saying this, Du Feng set his gaze on Wang Yang, who merely kept a faint smile on his face.

He did not respond, as if he hadn’t even heard the conversation.

But since Wang Yang would not speak, they could only brace themselves and head towards Xuanyue Sect.

At this moment, a disciple hurriedly arrived before the Elders’ Pavilion: "Elder, it’s bad, those robbers from the Eastern Peak Sect have come to our Xuanyue Sect!"

A group of Elders flew into a rage, slamming the table as they stood up.

"This Eastern Peak Sect is too arrogant, it’s one thing to deal with other sects, but to dare provoke us, the Xuanyue Sect, do they really think we are the same as those Second-rate Sects?"

If it weren’t for Xuanyue Sect having only one expert at the Half-Step True Demon Realm, they would have long since been regarded as a First-rate Sect.

Even their sect’s foundation is not far behind a First-rate Sect’s.

In the Green Mountain Sect, the number of experts at the celestial Demon Realm is about the same.

That’s why Xuanyue Sect has always been proud and did not see themselves as a Second-rate Sect.

"Open the gates, I want to see what kind of capabilities and methods this Eastern Peak Sect has."

The leading Great Elder snorted coldly, leading three Elders out of the sect.

The cultivation techniques practiced by Xuanyue Sect were also different from those of other Second-rate Sects, which was evident in previous battles.

Even at his peak, Du Feng might have had back-and-forth battles with Xuanyue Sect’s Elders.

Although Du Feng would ultimately win, the effort required would be significantly greater.

A disciple was entangled with Xiu Huang and others with trivial talks, but Xiu Huang was not a patient man: "Quickly let your Elders come out, you’re all just full of nonsense!"

After saying that, Xiu Huang was about to smash their mountain gate with an axe, but at that moment, a beam of light flashed out and struck Xiu Huang’s axe.

Xiu Huang felt the axe in his hand become unsteady, almost flying out, but fortunately, he held it tightly.

The leading Great Elder stood before the mountain gate, looking down at the crowd and said: "What exactly are you all meaning to do? Surely you do not intend to challenge our Xuanyue Sect?"

Du Feng also stepped forward: "What exactly are you saying? We are merely reclaiming what the Eastern Peak Sect previously deserves. Is there a problem with that?"

An Elder shouted: "Utter nonsense! We are a Great Sect from Linzhou, why would we have anything of your Eastern Peak Sect?"

Xiu Huang muttered to Kui Jiang: "Though the Xuanyue Sect is strong, their shamelessness is even more so, they won’t even admit it."

Kui Jiang saw it clearly: "Of course they wouldn’t admit it, as they believe we are no match for them, why would they acknowledge anything to us weaklings?"

Kui Jiang understood well the law of the jungle, that if one’s strength exceeds the opponent’s,

Even if the other party did not take anything from the Eastern Peak Sect, they would certainly claim that they did.

It’s to make a statement, to create a path to survival.

Conversely, they believe Eastern Peak Sect isn’t their opponent at all, so naturally, they would not admit to anything.

Firstly, it’s a matter of face, and secondly, there’s simply no need for them to be forthright.
