After driving away the Silver-Haired Cultivator, the Mountain Valley was left in disarray, with two more corpses of Wuhua Island disciples added to the scene.
The people from Spirit Beast Manor would not arrive until tomorrow morning. Each sect began to clean up the area and reorganize their encampments.
Hua Guinian gathered the six sect leaders and said, "I didn't expect him to come so quickly. Fortunately, we didn't suffer losses and even injured him."
Chu Wushang added, "This person must have been waiting here for a long time, specifically to assist the six Nine Dragon Pool disciples in the secret realm."
Chai Longbo felt furious; it was likely that eight out of ten of his Guiyi Sect's ten disciples had died at the hands of Nine Dragon Pool. He said fiercely, "I believe this time they were just testing our strength while eliminating our elite disciples from the past decade to prepare for their actions in ten years."
Hua Guinian questioned, "Nine Dragon Pool is far away in Zheguo, and we have to pass through Beast Wasteland. I can't believe they would target our Liuxiang Kingdom. Compared to Zheguo, Liuxiang Kingdom has almost nothing that would attract them."
The group couldn't find a reason at that moment, but no one wanted to become a subordinate sect of Nine Dragon Pool. They reached a preliminary agreement that if Nine Dragon Pool dared to come in ten years, they would join forces to resist.
Each sect returned to their own encampments, waiting for dawn to take the White Eagle from Spirit Beast Manor back.
Xu Feng did not return to Loose Cultivator Alliance; he found an excuse to leave Mountain Valley and spread his Wings of the Strange Dragon, plunging into the dark wilderness.
Less than half an hour after Xu Feng left, the formation above Otherworldly Secret Realm suddenly weakened, and its protective strength dropped sharply by a level.
This change immediately caught the attention of the Seven Great Sect Leaders.
Inside the newly constructed tent of Wuhua Island, Hua Guinian sat in a chair with an uncertain expression. Opposite him stood Hua Du.
"Have you seen Yan make a move inside?" Hua Du asked. He was directly affiliated with Wuhua Island, and Hua Guinian was his elder; privately, he referred to Hua Du this way.
"I've seen it," Hua Du recalled the scene at It Mountain Square, saying, "He was the last to enter. At that time, two people from Black Wind Stronghold had already died, and we had no choice but to call Yan Da to take action. If he hadn't intervened, we would have all been finished." Hua Du didn't forget to add a few compliments for Xu Feng.
"I want to know the details of Yan Da's actions," Hua Guinian was not satisfied with Hua Du's response.
"Yan Da had a grudge with the people from Nine Dragon Pool. He killed one right away. At that time, three people from Nine Dragon Pool surrounded Yan Da. He barely managed to fend off a few attacks before retreating into the forest. After the three pursued him in, we lost sight of them."
"Indeed cunning," Hua Guinian's eyes glimmered like a fox's as he said, "He didn't mention those three when he came out, did he?"
"No."
"How much It Mountain Spring did Yan Da take?"
"They split it evenly—twenty-four drops. In the end, he received the remaining few drops, totaling around thirty drops."
"Is there anything else?"
"Everything was divided equally; Yan Da didn't take more. However..."
"However what?" Hua Guinian's expression tightened.
"Yan Da ascended to the third level of It Mountain Temple."
"What!" Hua Guinian jumped up from his chair.
The tent of Chu Wushang was brightly lit, with several Night Pearls hanging around, illuminating the tent as if it were daylight.
"Cai Shujun," Chu Wushang said with a serious expression, "the formation of the Otherworldly Secret Realm has weakened."
"Really?" Cai Shujun replied, puzzled. "What does that mean?"
Chu Wushang looked at Cai Shujun and said, "Something unusual must have happened in the Otherworldly Secret Realm. In all these years, there has never been a case of the formation weakening."
Cai Shujun seemed to guess what Chu Wushang was getting at. "That's right, in the end, Yan Da reached the third level of It Mountain Temple."
"As expected," Chu Wushang showed a look of anticipation but soon murmured to himself, "Could he have broken that formation? No, that's impossible..."
After pondering for a long time, Chu Wushang asked, "Did Yan Da come by earlier to give you something?" Asking such a personal question made him feel somewhat uncertain.
"It wasn't for me," Cai Shujun replied softly. "It was just a request from someone to pass something to my master."
"Elder Qiu?" Chu Wushang seemed to grasp something but was unsure, mumbling, "Could it be him? No way, how could that be?"
Cai Shujun had no idea what Chu Wushang was thinking and didn't want to know; her eyes only grew more sorrowful.
After a long silence, Chu Wushang said, "Can I take a look at that item? It's very important to me..."
"No!" Cai Shujun firmly denied him. All she knew was that it was a box; she hadn't even dared to look inside it herself.
"It might just be an excuse of his, actually wanting to give it to me..." Cai Shujun thought it was strange that she had such an idea.
Chu Wushang frowned, having to once again play the role of his ineffective sect leader.
At dawn, the "bus" from Spirit Beast Manor arrived. Two White Eagles from the sect lined up in Mountain Valley. This was the pre-arranged number, and now, one eagle from each sect would suffice...
Spirit Beast Manor didn't care how many people you lost; as far as they were concerned, you had to pay for the eagles, and the price wouldn't drop a bit.
A disciple from Guiyi Sect was already negotiating with a disciple from Spirit Beast Manor.
"We have fewer people now; one eagle is enough for us, so please cancel the other one," said the Guiyi Sect disciple.
"That's your problem; I haven't shortchanged you," replied the Spirit Beast Manor disciple, unwilling to refund any money.
"Are you nearsighted or suffering from cataracts? Can't you see we only have five people?" the Guiyi Sect disciple snapped.
"I see that; maybe you didn't notice we brought two eagles," the Spirit Beast Manor disciple replied indifferently.
Hua Guinian glanced around and had an idea. He pulled over a disciple and whispered a few words. The disciple nodded in agreement and walked over to where Guiyi Sect was arguing. "We'll take that eagle off your hands," he said.
A good Samaritan appeared out of nowhere, and both sides were pleased. Wuhua Island gave the spirit stones to Guiyi Sect, and Guiyi Sect transferred the "eagle rights" to Wuhua Island.
The disciple not only bought one but also went to negotiate with Guo Shan Sword Sect, Wan Jian Sect, and Star River Sword Sect. Since these sects only sent out one person each, their total number of disciples along with their leaders was only four or five; one eagle would be enough for them.
Soon, Wuhua Island acquired three eagles. When it came to discussing the mounts of the Star River Sword Sect, Chu Wushang suddenly spoke up, "Master of Flower Island, we from the New Moon Sect have two severely injured members. Why not give one of the eagles to us?"
Chu Wushang had already discerned Wuhua Island's intentions.
Hua Guinian found it hard to refuse and thus relinquished the last White Eagle.
Half-Dead Bao observed coldly, seemingly understanding something. He pulled Lin Fangxin aside and whispered, "Where has Yan Da gone? You have the best relationship with him; you should know, right?"
Lin Fangxin put on an innocent expression and said, "I haven't seen him since last night. I'm actually looking for him to buy some things."
Seeing that Lin Fangxin didn't seem to be lying, Half-Dead Bao thought about Xu Feng. If he wanted to leave deliberately, amidst last night's chaos, no one would have noticed him. With Hua Guinian and Chu Wushang already involved, Half-Dead Bao felt his hopes were slim. He sighed softly and abandoned the idea of pursuing the matter further.
Hua Guinian saw that all the sect leaders were preparing to take off and said, "Masters, this time the Nine Dragon Pool intends to destroy our Liuxiang Kingdom. This is a serious matter. Please return and rest for a while. A month later, come back to Wuhua Island so we can discuss our plans to resist the enemy together."
Everyone nodded in agreement. After some polite exchanges, each sect mounted their White Eagles and returned home.
