Elder Yang of the Haoqi Sect conceded defeat.
Ye Liang won.
Meanwhile, everyone in the Bixian Sect's camp was overjoyed.
The particularly lively and energetic junior sister jumped up and down in celebration.
Meng Xiaoru also shouted happily twice to celebrate.
In contrast, the disciples of the Haoqi Sect looked extremely dejected.
The two elders suffered two consecutive defeats.
When they returned to their sect, their fellow disciples asked them about the outcome of the match, but they were truly unable to recount the result.
After Elder Yang's immobilization period ended and he was released, Ye Liang said to him, "Please go back. If you are not satisfied, you can send others to challenge me. Or, you can bring your sect leader directly to me to demand so-called justice. Whether it is a one-on-one fight or a sect war, my Bixian Sect will accept it."
"I have one more thing to say to you: When friends come, I will treat them with fine tea; when villains come, I will treat them with a sharp sword."
"please"
Ye Liang extended his hand again, uttering a simple "please" to signal that the guest was to leave.
Elder Yang remained calm and speechless, leading his disciples to begin their withdrawal from the Bixian Mountain gate.
After walking a distance, the girl, Yang Qiao'er, suddenly ran back.
Without saying a word, she bowed three times to Ye Liang. Seeing this, Elder Yang, as her father, did not scold her. When she returned, he even reached out and patted her head. Yang Qiao'er smiled happily, and then the father and daughter went down the mountain together.
Seeing this, the father and daughter reconciled, and the eldest sister was relieved for the girl.
Below the gate of the Bixian Sect, Elder Li, who had left earlier, did not descend the mountain but stood there waiting for Elder Yang to come out.
"Elder Yang, I'm relieved to hear you lost too. You'll have company when you go back, and I won't have to bear the blame alone. Otherwise, the sect leader would have made me atone with my death. Now that you've lost, there's a saying that the law doesn't punish everyone, so I might receive less punishment." Elder Li was very happy to see Elder Yang.
He must have already sent his disciples to find out the outcome of the battle, which is why he said that.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yang showed no resentment whatsoever.
Instead, she said with particular emotion, "You can still laugh? Two of us, renowned Golden Core Realm elders, actually lost to a young junior who's barely twenty! Even if the sect leader doesn't punish us when we get back, I'll be too ashamed to sit in my elder position anymore. The other elders will laugh at us to death. The disciples will laugh at us to death too. We've truly become the biggest joke in the sect this time. When we get back, we won't even have time to cry, and you're still laughing?"
Elder Li still smiled and said, "It's precisely because you can't even cry anymore that you have to laugh. It's a bitter laugh, a laugh because you're heartbroken. Otherwise, I really don't know how to get down this mountain. It would be shameful, you'd have already lost."
"Hey, Elder Yang, how could you lose too? You're stronger than me, don't deny it. We both know perfectly well that I can't beat you. I think everyone in the entire sect knows you've been hiding your true strength. Everyone understands that you didn't want to overshadow the master, so you deliberately concealed your abilities. But this time, you weren't hiding anything, were you?"
Elder Li's question left Elder Yang speechless.
Elder Yang still smiled and said, "I certainly wouldn't have admitted that before. But now, it doesn't matter. I've already lost, my reputation is ruined, so I won't be a threat to anyone anymore."
"What kind of gods are these? At such a young age, a young man at the Core Formation stage has utterly defeated two elders at the Golden Core stage. I can't understand it even if you beat me to death," Elder Li said, feeling even more bitter.
Elder Yang said, "He's only at the Core Formation stage. Once he reaches the Golden Core stage, how many people in the martial world will be able to challenge him?"
"How could such a genius suddenly emerge from the Bixian Sect? This is terrifying! It might be a once-in-a-century genius. The Bixian Sect is about to rise to power, and the martial world will be in turmoil again," Elder Li said, genuinely feeling lingering fear.
