The rain of magical artifacts is still falling, and it's estimated to continue for quite some time, given the sheer quantity of magical artifacts available.
"Surely it won't hit our people?"
Han Qingxiu looked at the rain of magical artifacts that never stopped, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
Although Wu Er had just said no, his worries wouldn't completely disappear just because of a single sentence in the face of this situation.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Wu Er closed his eyes slightly, mobilizing his immense spiritual power to manipulate each magical artifact.
They ensured that they wouldn't hit their own sect's disciples, while only stunning, not killing, the disciples of other sects.
This kind of thing is quite taxing.
"Crackling and popping!"
After quite some time, the rain of magical artifacts finally stopped. The huge pile of artifacts fell to the ground, collapsing it and filling the dug-out dungeon below.
"It's really quite tiring."
Wu Er rubbed his forehead, then looked at the dungeon filled with magical artifacts and said to Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao, "You two go dig around in that magical artifact pile and dig out all our fellow disciples."
After saying that, Wu Er thought for a moment and added, "By the way, let's dig up the addresses of the other sects as well, so as not to give anyone cause for gossip. Besides, they're all dizzy, so they're not much of a threat."
"Are they going to poach disciples from other sects too?"
Han Qing shook his head again and said, "They were in the wrong first. Even if we didn't dig, we wouldn't have any gossip."
Upon hearing this answer, Wu Er smiled helplessly, thinking to himself: "Truly a young man, he doesn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts and words."
Indeed, logically speaking, they bullied Pengshan Sect first, and Pengshan Sect retaliated later. According to common sense, Pengshan Sect was in the right.
However, gossiping and damaging someone's reputation cannot be judged by common sense.
Even the smallest stain can be magnified infinitely, eventually ruining a person's reputation.
With the strength and influence of the other major sects, distorting the facts and reversing right and wrong is not difficult at all.
Putting aside the sect's hard power, in terms of the ability to control public opinion in the cultivation world, Pengshan Sect is far inferior to other sects.
After all, Pengshan Sect was established too recently.
Although Wu Er and the higher-ups of Pengshan are not afraid of being slandered or defamed, they still have a bunch of disciples under their command, and their reputations still need to be protected.
The disciples are all too young. If they are falsely accused, they might do something impulsive that could cost them their lives.
Moreover, it's really hard to be called a bad person, something Wu Er knows all too well.
"Alright, just listen to me."
Although he had a lot on his mind, Wu Er was too lazy to explain anything to Han Qingxiu.
Moreover, young disciples wouldn't listen to such realistic explanations, and explaining would be a waste of time.
Hearing Wu Er's perfunctory answer, Han Qingxiu pursed her lips, didn't ask anything further, and obediently went to the side to recruit people.
While the two were digging for people, Wu Er stared blankly at the sky in the secret realm.
He loves to daydream, especially staring at the sky.
During the two hundred years that Wu Er was in seclusion, the total amount of time he spent in a daze, on and off, was about one hundred and fifty years.
"Damn it, all of you Pengshan disciples are monsters!"
A sound came from the pile of magical artifacts, and half a human head emerged, revealing a pair of small eyes that timidly looked at Wu Er, who was standing there in a daze.
"You didn't faint?"
Wu Er stopped daydreaming, shifted his gaze from the sky to Dong Liang, and said, "I controlled my strength quite well. Even if you had a top-grade magic weapon, you should have fainted, unless..."
Wu Er carefully scanned Dong Liang, then chuckled and said, "You really are a true second-generation immortal, with two top-grade magic treasures protecting you. No wonder you weren't knocked unconscious."
Upon hearing this, Dong Liang felt a chill run down his spine. He had never shown the short sword he had received from his father, but Wu Er had recognized it at a glance.
What does this tell us?
This proves that this guy is definitely not just a lowly Foundation Establishment disciple!
If this guy isn't a Foundation Establishment disciple, does that mean Pengshan Sect has broken the rules?
Dong Liang, who had a bit of sense, easily figured out the key to this.
That is, Pengshan Sect broke the rules!
As long as Pengshan Sect breaks the rules, then we can stand on the moral high ground to condemn them and let the world laugh at them!
This can cover up the fact that you set the rules yourself before.
As a result, the fear in Dong Liang's small eyes dissipated by most, and then he emerged from the pile of magical treasures, pointing his finger at Wu Er.
He shouted loudly, "You're not a Foundation Establishment disciple! Your Pengshan Sect has broken the rules!"
"oh."
Wu Er gave a nonchalant reply, then looked at Dong Liang expressionlessly, as if he were looking at a fool.
Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao were initially worried about the reputation of their sect after hearing Dong Liang's words.
Seeing Wu Er's calm expression, the two of them also calmed down.
Seeing that Wu Er's expression was not what he had expected, Dong Liang felt a pang of panic and asked, "What? Speechless now? Your Pengshan Sect has broken the rules!"
"I thought you were someone with a brain, but it turns out you really only have that little bit of brains."
Wu Er shrugged and said, "You say we broke the rules, but do you have any evidence?"
"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes!"
After Wu Er said that, Dong Liang inexplicably panicked.
Wu Er turned his head slightly, not looking directly at Dong Liang, appearing extremely contemptuous, and even hissed, "Do you have any physical evidence? How do you know what you're seeing is real? What if you're hallucinating from a spell?"
