Yan Feng ignored the fawning Cao Niang, his face cold, and continued to examine the treasures of the next faction.
"The Beast Taming Sect possesses eleven treasures."
After Yan Feng finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Eleven treasures? That's ridiculous, how could that be!
This is the Beast Taming Sect, which has always held the leading position among the middle-level forces.
They all craned their necks to look and saw that the Beast Taming Sect indeed only had a pitifully small number of treasures displayed in front of them.
They silently counted in their minds, and there were indeed eleven treasures.
Moreover, they then noticed that there were very few disciples in the Beast Taming Sect.
Only one-tenth of the disciples were standing there; could it be that the rest of the disciples failed to come out?
What exactly happened to the Beast Taming Sect in the secret realm? How could there be such heavy casualties? This has never happened before.
Since the disciples of the sect were not particularly strong, they specifically chose this secret realm, which was not very dangerous, when they were selecting their disciples.
Even if there are some casualties, the casualty ratio will not be this tragic.
After all, no one wanted to lose so many disciples in the secret realm because of the competition.
If that's the case, it would be a huge blow to the sect, causing nothing but harm and even allowing some minor forces to take advantage of the situation.
They wouldn't do something so foolish.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the surrounding crowd, Elder Ma Yang, the leader of the Beast Taming Sect, looked utterly humiliated, his fists clenched tightly.
The Beast Taming Sect has always been able to easily secure the top five positions.
Even if the sect leader gave those disciples a special mission this time, with the Beast Suppression Tower in place, taking down the sacred beast is a sure thing, without a doubt.
Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen to them in the secret realm, and that so many disciples would not come out.
Not only did no one come out, but the Beast-Suppressing Tower was also lost.
He questioned the disciples who came out, but they all claimed to know nothing.
Upon entering the secret realm, they encountered powerful magical beasts and were relentlessly pursued by them, preventing them from reuniting with the other disciples.
He had just received a message from the sect leader saying that their Beast Taming Sect's Beast Suppression Tower was very likely on one of the disciples who came out of the secret realm.
The sect leader has a way to find the lost Beast-Suppressing Tower. He is on his way and has instructed the sect leader to stall everyone and buy him time, no matter what method is used.
After all, once the competition ends and the various forces disperse, finding the Beast Suppression Tower would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, so it's necessary to buy time.
Ma Yang's mind raced, his head bowed, lost in thought.
Yan Feng was not as surprised as the others. The secret realm was unpredictable, and changes could happen in an instant. No one could guarantee that they would achieve a good result every time.
He continued to take stock of the treasures acquired by the forces behind him.
The Tianyu Sect members were positioned towards the back, and by the time it was their turn, they were the last ones.
"Elder Yan, there's no need to even look at this faction. The number of treasures they obtained can be counted on two hands. Just glancing at them would be an insult to Elder Yan's eyes," Cao Niang said, looking completely confident.
I thought we would have to compete with the Beast Taming Sect again, but I never expected the Beast Taming Sect to be so unlucky and suffer such a heavy defeat in the secret realm.
The number of treasures they brought out wasn't even enough to compete with them.
It seems that even the heavens are on their side this time, and the position of the number one mid-level power has practically been handed to them.
Cao Niang wasn't the only one who thought this way; people from other factions shared the same idea.
All the treasures offered by other forces could not compare to those of the Four Confucian Sects; now only the Heavenly Feather Sect remains.
They already knew the strength of the Heavenly Feather Sect.
It was a piece of cake for the Four Confucian School to win first place this time.
Lin Muze clicked his tongue and whispered to Yu Qiqi, "I really can't stand seeing that smug look on his face."
"Who says otherwise? Although I don't like the Tianyu Sect, the Four Confucian Sect's attitude is too ugly. The results are not even out yet, and they're already wagging their tails in the air."
"Besides, they bullied Wanwan before. It would be really annoying if they got first place," Yu Qiqi said angrily.
"Coincidentally, I'm not happy either." Ruan Xiyan narrowed her cold eyes slightly.
Originally, she only wanted to take out some treasures to help Tianyu Sect get into the top five, and then her mission would be accomplished.
But now she doesn't like the Four Confucian Masters. They dare to besiege Wanwan in the secret realm, so she insists on getting involved.
Anyone can take first place, but she can't stand seeing the Four Confucian Masters take the first place.
Although the top five sects receive the same resources, she doesn't mind taking first place to vent Wanwan's anger.
Anyway, she obtained too many treasures in the secret realm. She could just pick some treasures that weren't very good quality and that she didn't even want, and Tianyu Sect could still take first place.
Upon hearing this, Lin Muze's eyes lit up. "Sister Yan, get him! I want to keep my eyes peeled and enjoy watching their faces after they've been humiliated. It'll be a sight to behold."
Sikong Jian looked in Ruan Xiyan's direction, because he didn't know how many treasures they had obtained from the secret realm.
Ruan Xiyan raised her hand and waved it, and the treasures fell to the ground with a series of crisp and loud sounds.
Upon seeing the pile of things forming a small mountain, the eyes of everyone present, which had been filled with amusement, widened instantly.
"so much!"
Is this amount of treasure that one person could possibly take out?!
Yan Feng was also quite surprised, but as someone who had seen a lot of the world, he quickly calmed down.
He counted the number of treasures that Ruan Xiyan had taken out, plus the few negligible treasures of the other disciples of Tianyu Sect.
The Tianyu Sect obtained fifty-five treasures from the secret realm this time.
"Tianyu Sect, fifty-five treasures," Yan Feng said.
"How is this possible!" Cao Niang exclaimed angrily. No more, no less, it was just one more treasure than the Four Confucian School.
Why was it that just one treasure was all that caused the Four Confucian Schools to miss out on the top spot?
"Elder Yan, could there be something wrong with this?"
"You are questioning me." Yan Feng's words carried an air of authority, though he was not angry.
Cao Niang quickly replied, "I dare not, Elder Yan, I spoke presumptuously."
"I hereby announce that the results of this competition are in. Tianyu Sect has obtained the most treasures and is in first place. Siru Sect is in second place, followed by Baihua Sect, Changhong Gate, and Feibao Pavilion."
"Sect Master Sikong, congratulations!" someone from another faction stepped forward and said. "I always felt that the Tianyu Sect was extraordinary."
"It turns out that Tianyu Sect was hiding their true strength, which made us a laughing stock."
"Tianyu Sect has won first place. Sect Master Sikong, would you like to treat us to a meal?"
Until people from other factions came to offer their congratulations.
While Sikong Jian was still in a daze, Tianyu Sect had already taken first place.
Making it into the top five was already an extreme luxury, something he wouldn't even dare to dream of. Now, Miss Ruan has directly made Tianyu Sect the top of the middle-tier forces.
