The dozen or so experts circled Qiu Mengcheng's corpse a dozen times, but all of them were dumbfounded and confused.
They really could not tell.
How did this old man die?
It looked like all the injuries were inflicted at the same time. At most, he was beheaded before his limbs were severed, or his limbs were severed before his head was severed. At most, there was the possibility of a heavily injured body …
"Something's still not right. Unless Qiu Mengcheng was tired of living and came all the way here to seek his death! All the signs of death and injuries point to one thing. This fellow didn't even show any signs of resistance from the beginning to the end … "
"No matter how I look at it, this fellow doesn't look like he's here for revenge. He looks more like he's here to commit suicide …"
This explanation sounded ridiculous to the extreme, but everyone present felt that this was the only explanation that could explain the situation in front of them!
"This is strange!"
"It's strange indeed. It's inexplicable!"
…
The four of them dashed into the cave that they had found earlier like a whirlwind. Yun Yang was the last. Just as the four of them landed, the Force of Earth and Wood was activated simultaneously.
Clumps of soil fell from the top of the cave, and the soil underneath the cave was uprooted at the same time. Countless vines and flowers grew at an abnormal speed … In the blink of an eye, they had completely covered the entrance of the cave!
Looking from the outside, even if one were to stick directly to the wall, they would not be able to see anything out of the ordinary. They would never have thought that there would be a hidden cave here.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
Inside the cave.
The four people who had sprinted with all their might fell to the ground, panting heavily. Each of them was so exhausted that they were almost suffocating.
In the previous battle, Qiu Mengcheng had been gravely injured due to his carelessness. Both his combat power and fighting will had been extinguished, resulting in a successful strike. However, what Yun Yang and the others were facing was Qiu Mengcheng's Saint Level Three defensive mystical Qi and his almost indestructible physical body. All four of them had given it their all at that moment!
Although it had only been a blink of an eye, the four of them had already exerted the ultimate ability that surpassed their limits!
Coupled with the exhaustion from escaping at top speed just now, the fatigue he felt right now was as if his body had been completely drained!
However, all four of them were filled with excitement!
Third level Saint!
They were almost equivalent to the core figures of lower-class Celestial Luck Banners!
Even if he wasn't a Sect Leader, he would at least be a powerhouse at the Elder level. Among the last few sects with black Celestial Luck Banners, the highest cultivation base was only a fourth-level Saint!
To Yun Yang and the other three, killing Qiu Mengcheng in one fell swoop was not as satisfying as the exhilaration.
"Although we used a trick to trick Qiu Mengcheng, it also proves that as long as we work hard and move forward, with our current strength, we still have a chance to enter the ranks of lower-class Celestial Luck Banners!"
Shi Wuchen's face was sallow from exhaustion, but he was extremely excited. "Boss, do you have any plans?"
Yun Yang breathed in slowly, calming his heart that was beating like a drum. He said in a low voice, "Of course there is, but we are still far from having enough manpower. We have a long way to go."
Shi Wuchen and Lan Ruojun nodded at the same time.
The Battle of Celestial Luck was an open and aboveboard battle that required three battles.
This included the battle of the sect's highest combat strength, followed by the battle of the Sect Leaders of both sides, and the last battle would be the battle of the elite lineups of both sides. The specific number of people in the battle would be suggested by the defending side.
The previous battle between the highest combat strength and the Sect Leader was basically one battle for many sects. If it was forcibly divided into two battles, it would probably be the first and second experts of the two sects taking turns to fight!
As for the third battle … it was the most difficult test for the Residence of Nine Supremes.
There were only four combatants in the Residence of Nine Supremes now. If they really went to challenge them, once the opponent suggested a battle of nine people, they would not even need to fight.
They wouldn't even need to fight each other. They would be directly eliminated due to a lack of people …
"We have to think of a way quickly. Why don't we get the other brothers here?" Shi Wuchen said excitedly.
Lan Ruojun rolled his eyes and said, "Yi Tuo, you're the only one who can do this."
Shi Wuchen was furious. "I'll cut all ties with you if you call me Yi Tuo again!"
Yun Yang and Ren Qingkuang laughed soundlessly, tears almost falling from their eyes.
Due to Shi Wuchen's surname and the fact that Ren Qingkuang and Lan Ruojun had long since become the Residence of Nine Supremes' Second Supreme, the two of them did not have any titles at all. In their envy and jealousy, Shi Wuchen was extremely displeased and had conveniently given him the nickname 'Yi Tuo'.
Shi Wuchen had already lost his temper a few times over this matter, but to no avail. After all, he was alone. Just Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang taking turns to fight him was already too much for him to handle. Yun Yang, on the other hand, seemed to be very keen on this new nickname as well.
Shi Wuchen liked to curl up in his sleep. Once he curled up into a strange shape, it really looked like …
"Sigh, we're all brothers. It's just a name, why get so angry?" Yun Yang advised, "Yi Tuo, honestly, you have to put in more effort in this matter. Our strength is still very weak now. We need manpower urgently. "
Shi Wuchen was extremely upset. "Boss, you're calling me that too. It hurts my heart …"
Yun Yang said with a straight face, "Why do you care about these small details? Yi Tuo! "
Shi Wuchen lay sprawled on the ground, moaning, "I need allies! I need allies desperately … "
The three of them laughed.
…
"Let's take this break to count our gains this time."
"It seems like we've robbed quite a lot of things this time. It's a small gain."
The four of them counted the items they had robbed, reported the number, and summed it up.
Yun Yang concluded that Yun Yang was first, Ren Qingkuang second, Shi Wuchen third, and Lan Ruojun last.
"The number of upper-class spiritual jade pieces we've collected is too little, less than a thousand … twenty thousand mid-class spiritual jade pieces, and three million lower-class spiritual jade pieces … As for the various treasures of heaven and earth, there are only a few of them. There are all sorts of exotic metals, less than ten pieces in total."
Yun Yang was very dissatisfied with the loot. "Even if we include the miscellaneous items like weapons and other things … there's not much in total. What can we do with such a small amount of loot?"
"Boss, you haven't seen Qiu Mengcheng's ring, have you?" Shi Wuchen reminded.
