Everyone lowered their heads in regret. They had never imagined that Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan would be so lucky, entering the Heaven Realm without any harm, and even bringing out an extremely powerful army of monsters. They really doubted whether those two were those old monsters in disguise, otherwise how could they be so terrifying.
"Is there any way we can make amends now?"
"Elder Liu, don't you have a very good relationship with Su Jinyue? Why don't you go to Fengtian Sect on behalf of our Qicheng and give a generous gift to see if Su Jinyue has any opinion."
"This is a good idea. Maybe there is still a chance."
Everyone looked at Elder Liu, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. After this battle, Feng Tianzong had become a truly major sect on the Tianyue Continent. While the Feng Tianzong disciples were still weak, their leader was formidable, and was the only ninth-level alchemy master on the Tianyue Continent. They truly did not want to lose such an ally.
Elder Liu sighed deeply, "It's difficult!" Although he had not been in contact with Su Jinyue for a long time, it could be seen from what Su Jinyue did that she was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.
The city lord frowned and said, "Elder Liu, go and try it." No matter whether it works or not, you have to try it to know.
"Okay." Elder Liu nodded. Although he agreed, he didn't hold out much hope.
Within the Sealing Heaven Sect, Sect Master Feng Jianjiang sat at the head of the group with a sullen expression, listening to the crowd's discussion. The Sealing Heaven Sect had suffered a heavy loss this time, with not only the Grand Elder and the Grand Elder having perished, but also over a hundred elite disciples.
"At this point, we only have two options: one is to fight the Fengtian Sect, or to close the mountains and retreat into seclusion," the Second Elder said solemnly. Closing the mountains and retreating into seclusion would effectively leave the Fengtian Sect in name only, but it was better than actual annihilation. As long as they survived, there would always be a chance to turn things around.
"Let's fight them," the Seventh Elder said bitterly. The Fengtian Sect had been established for tens of thousands of years, and had always bullied others, but had never been bullied to this extent.
"It's not appropriate. We can't resist the strength of Fengtian Sect at all now. That army of monsters alone can flatten our Fengtian Sect." The fifth elder sighed.
"Is our only option to close the mountain and retreat? I won't accept that." The Seventh Elder gritted his teeth unwillingly.
Feng Jianjiang sighed deeply and said slowly: "Pass the order to close the mountain and retreat." There was reluctance, helplessness, and deep loss in his tone, but in order to prevent the foundation of Fengtian Sect from being destroyed, he had to do this.
"metropolitan!"
"metropolitan!"
Feng Jianjiang shook his head. "Don't waste time! Send the message! They could be here any minute." If they did, their Fengtian Sect would be doomed. So many forces had besieged Fengtian Sect, and not a single one remained. How could he dare take such a risk? He blamed himself for listening to the Great Elder and becoming obsessed with Su Jinyue's phoenix. How could someone who possessed a divine phoenix be anything but simple?
"Yes!" everyone responded weakly.
At this moment, a roar was heard outside.
Everyone was shocked, and a thought came to their mind at the same time: Could it be that Feng Tianzong is attacking?
A disciple hurried in, "It's bad, Sect Master! A man and a woman are outside, attacking our mountain protection formation."
Everyone's expression changed at the same time and they looked at Feng Jianjiang.
"Go and seal the mountain quickly!" Feng Jiangjiang shouted anxiously.
"Boom!" A thunderous sound came from outside again.
Feng Jiangjiang's heart sank. It was over! The mountain protection formation had been breached.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked into the Sealing Heaven Sect and glanced around at the disciples holding magical instruments and watching them warily. A sneer curled their lips. The Sealing Heaven Sect's formation was only a seventh-level formation. With their level of formation skills, a few formation flags would be enough to break it. They had created such a large formation, naturally, to intimidate the Sealing Heaven Sect.
"Who dares to trespass into the Sealing Heaven Sect?" a late Nascent Soul cultivator shouted. He knew the two cultivators before him were extraordinary, but this was the Sealing Heaven Sect's territory. Even if they were extraordinary, they couldn't possibly run wild on the sect's territory. Furthermore, he didn't believe the two of them could take on their entire sect.
"Go and call your sect leader out." Zhan Yi said in a cold voice.
"Who do you think you are? Whose territory are you on?" The late Nascent Soul cultivator snorted disdainfully. What an arrogant tone! Can their sect leader be seen by anyone he wants?
"Shut up!" A cold shout came from behind.
The late Nascent Soul cultivator trembled with fear and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again. From the voice, he knew that the person coming was their sect leader.
Feng Jiangjiang and the elders were rushing here in a hurry.
When he came in front of Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, Feng Jiangjiang stopped and bowed to them, saying, "I didn't know that Sect Master Su and Sect Master Zhan were coming. Please forgive me for not welcoming you in person." These two were the people he could not afford to offend the most right now. He hoped that they would show mercy and let their Fengtian Sect go this time.
"Master Feng, you should know why we are here this time, right?" Zhan Yihan looked at Feng Jiangjiang with cold eyes, and pressed towards Feng Jiangjiang with a powerful aura.
Feng Jiangjiang's expression suddenly changed drastically, cold sweat kept coming out on his forehead and back, "I know...I know, this time it's our Fengtian Sect's fault. We are willing to pay compensation, and ask Sect Master Zhan, Sect Master Su, to be merciful and let us go this time." He didn't expect that Zhan Yihan was actually a cultivator in the Mahayana stage. How could they fight against him? Moreover, the other party also had a powerful army of monsters.
"How do you want to compensate?" Zhan Yihan asked with a cold smile. If they wanted to destroy the Fengtian Sect, they would have sent out an army of monsters by now, but they were not interested in destroying human sects. Moreover, too much killing would also affect future cultivation.
"I'll compensate you with half of our Fengtian Sect's wealth," Feng Jianjiang said distressedly. Fengtian Sect had been established for ten thousand years, and half of its wealth had been accumulated over countless years.
"Half?" Zhan Yihan raised his eyebrows, showing a dissatisfied expression.
Feng Jianjiang gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's two-thirds." He felt his heart bleeding, but paying compensation was better than wiping out the whole family.
"Okay, since you are still sincere, let's do this, but this won't happen again." Zhan Yihan's voice was cold, mixed with absolute murderousness. It was an outburst of murderous intent, an absolute breath of death.
"Yes... yes..." Feng Jianjiang nodded repeatedly. He would have to be crazy to provoke them again. From now on, if he saw someone from Feng Tian Sect, he would definitely stay as far away as possible.
