It was a complete victory!
Cheers resounded in the Wind Sword School's encampment. Everyone had received the news that Zhang Sanyu and Instructor Yang had led a team to raid the Nine Star Sword School's encampment and annihilated all the high-ranking warriors of the Nine Star Sword School. The Nine Star Sword School no longer had the strength to fight back.
When everyone received the news, they could not believe it. After all, they had witnessed the strength of the Nine Star Sword School. Let alone annihilation, even a pyrrhic victory was something worth celebrating.
However, there was no need for Zhang Sanyu and the others to lie to everyone. They could easily find out the truth.
"Hey, did you hear? The reason why we were able to annihilate the Nine Star Sword School was mainly because of Senior Brother Lu. I heard that it was Senior Brother Lu who suddenly displayed his invincible might at the most dangerous moment and killed everyone from the Nine Star Sword School with a single sword strike!"
"You're boasting too much. Although Senior Brother Lu is powerful, how could he be a match for so many experts from the Nine Star Sword School? I heard that they even had a ninth-tier Spirit Refinement expert. "
"I'm warning you, you can choose not to believe me, but you can never doubt Senior Brother Lu. Otherwise, we can't be brothers anymore!"
"Fine, fine, fine. I believe that it was Senior Brother Lu who did it. Did he really kill everyone from the Nine Star Sword School with a single sword strike?"
"Uh, maybe a few sword strikes. Why are you so fixated on the details?"
…
The rumor about Lu Xuan had spread among the Elders and disciples. Zhang Sanyu and Yang Yi did not ask them to hide the truth. After all, there were so many people who saw it, so they could not hide it even if they wanted to. Moreover, it was indeed Lu Xuan who did it. Lu Xuan deserved this honor and respect. Unfortunately, many people were skeptical.
They could not be blamed. A fourth-tier Spirit Refinement expert had annihilated a group of experts from the Nine Star Sword School by himself. No matter how they looked at it, it did not seem real. If they did not see it with their own eyes, perhaps the Elders who participated in the battle would not believe it.
In the big tent of the Wind Sword School's encampment, there were four chairs, and four people were sitting on the chairs. The one in the highest position was naturally the sovereign Xie Zhixiu, followed by Zhang Sanyu and Yang Yi, and the last one was impressively Lu Xuan. As for the rest, they were all standing behind.
Originally, Lu Xuan didn't want to sit. There were so many people here, and any one of them was at least twice his age. Moreover, they all had high qualifications in Wind Sword School, so he shouldn't be sitting.
However, he did live up to everyone's expectations this time. The image of the ice spirit using Lu Xuan's body to unleash its might had been imprinted in everyone's minds. They even wondered if Xie Zhixiu would be able to take on Lu Xuan if he was still able to unleash that kind of power.
Because of everyone's unanimous request, a fourth chair was added to the big tent, which usually only had three chairs. It was for Lu Xuan to sit on.
Zhang Sanyu and Instructor Yang naturally didn't have the slightest objection. Instead, they welcomed it. Strictly speaking, Lu Xuan was everyone's savior.
As for Xie Zhixiu, of course, he looked very happy on the surface, but he was extremely gloomy on the inside. In his opinion, this was a show of strength from Zhang Sanyu and Instructor Yang. Moreover, this time, Wind Sword School's great victory was far beyond his expectations. He thought that Zhang Sanyu and the others would be completely annihilated, but he didn't think that they would win, and it was a great victory without any losses!
According to Zhang Sanyu, this great victory was led by Lu Xuan. He single-handedly killed three Ninth Level Spirit Refinement martial artists, including two members of the Extreme Emperor Sect. Xie Zhixiu naturally scoffed at this statement. He didn't believe that a mere Fourth Level Spirit Refinement kid could have such an ability. If Lu Xuan was really that powerful, he should have just killed Xie Zhixiu and given the position of Sect Master to Yang Yi.
Of course, no matter what he thought, he still looked very surprised on the surface. He sighed that Wind Sword School finally had a genius disciple, and at the same time, he expressed his comfort for Zhang Sanyu and the others who were almost killed. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone had already guessed it, no one would have thought that the person who betrayed them would be such an "amiable" Sect Master.
"Sect Master, this time, Lu Xuan has made such a great contribution, he should be rewarded!" Zhang Sanyu took the initiative to ask for the reward on behalf of Lu Xuan.
Xie Zhixiu nodded slightly, "Of course he should be rewarded. How about this, open the Cloud Sky Mountain's armory and Martial Skill Pavilion, and let Lu Xuan choose the weapons and martial skills. What do you think?"
Hearing the reward proposed by Xie Zhixiu, everyone curled their lips almost at the same time. Lu Xuan was now a member of the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, how could he still be interested in these martial skills and weapons of Wind Sword School. Xie Zhixiu's reward seemed very generous, but in fact, it was of little value to Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan doesn't lack these things." Zhang Sanyu waved his hand and said, "I think we should reward him with something more practical, like primordial stones and elixirs."
Hearing this, the corner of Xie Zhixiu's mouth slightly twitched. Martial skills and whatnot, if Lu Xuan took a look, he wouldn't lose a piece, but primordial stones and elixirs were consumables. He wished he could use all the resources of Wind Sword School for his cultivation. Now that he was asked to give these rewards to Lu Xuan, it was undoubtedly cutting off his own flesh.
"This … Lu Xuan is not a member of my Wind Sword School after all. Isn't it better to leave the sect's resources for everyone to use?" Xie Zhixiu wanted to tie everyone to his own boat, so he pondered and asked.
Zhang Sanyu's index finger tapped on the chair, and he coldly snorted, "Lu Xuan is not a member of my Wind Sword School? Then why did Lord Sect Master invite Lu Xuan back to help? Aren't you afraid of being disappointed by saying this now? "
"We agree to give primordial stones and elixirs to Lu Xuan as a reward!"
"Yes, if it wasn't for Lu Xuan, I'm afraid we would have been long dead." A group of Spirit Refinement Realm warriors voiced their support.
Xie Zhixiu's face slightly changed. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to be able to get so many people's support. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, Lu Xuan had left Wind Sword School. Otherwise, would he really be able to sit comfortably in his position as the Lord of Wind Sword School?
"Well, since Lu Xuan has made such a great contribution, I won't be stingy. I'll give him one hundred high-grade primordial stones and a bottle of Spirit Congealing Elixir as a reward. What do you think, Lu Xuan?" Xie Zhixiu looked at Lu Xuan with a smile and said. In his opinion, Lu Xuan had just joined the Profound Ice Pavilion and might not have seen much of the world. One hundred high-grade primordial stones was definitely enough to tempt him.
However, hearing his words, Lu Xuan's heart was filled with disdain. This Xie Zhixiu was really stingy. Although he didn't care about the reward, he was still very happy to make Xie Zhixiu unhappy. However, he didn't expect Xie Zhixiu to use a mere one hundred high-grade primordial stones to dismiss him. Not to mention the large amount of wealth that he had obtained in the Profound Ice Secret Realm, just the primordial stones that he had used to compete for the first place in the Profound Ice Secret Realm were already forty supreme grade primordial stones. That was equivalent to four thousand high-grade primordial stones. A mere one hundred high-grade primordial stones, in Lu Xuan's eyes, was not even a drop in the bucket.
"Lord Sect Leader is too stingy. This time, Lu Xuan helped us win and completely crippled the Nine Star Sword Sect. They no longer have the ability to compete with us for the ore vein. Not only did the entire iron ore vein belong to us, but we also took the small primordial stone ore vein. How can a mere one hundred high-grade primordial stones be worthy of Lu Xuan's great contribution?" This time, the one who spoke was Instructor Yang. In the past, he didn't openly wrestle with Xie Zhixiu, but this time, he openly said it. Because Xie Zhixiu had leaked the secret and wanted to kill everyone, he was completely infuriated.
Xie Zhixiu slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "Then, how much do you think is suitable?"
"Fifty supreme grade primordial stones, thirty bottles of Congealing Spirit Pills, twenty bottles of Peiyuan Pills!" Instructor Yang had already thought about it, and said without hesitation.
Hiss!
Xie Zhixiu sucked in a breath of cold air. Yang Yi was really asking for an exorbitant price. Fifty supreme grade primordial stones and fifty bottles of precious pills. This wasn't just taking a bite out of Xie Zhixiu, it was simply cutting off a piece of flesh!
"I also think it's suitable, what do you all think?" Zhang Sanyu echoed.
"That's right. Not to mention that Lu Xuan won such a big victory for us, just the fact that Lu Xuan saved our lives is worth this price. Does the sect master think that so many of our lives are not worth this little thing?" Instructor Guo nodded and said, and the rest of the warriors also agreed.
Xie Zhixiu's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and said while gritting his teeth, "Good, then we will do as Instructor Yang said, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, then we will disperse. "
Xie Zhixiu didn't want to stay a moment longer, after this battle, it was obvious that everyone was standing on Zhang Sanyu and Instructor Yang's side.
"Sovereign, please wait a moment!" Zhang Sanyu said, "This time, the plan was leaked, and almost all of us died in the hands of the Nine Star Sword Faction. After discussing with Instructor Yang, I feel that we should thoroughly investigate this matter, we must find out the spy, and give all of us justice!"
"Spy? I don't think it's a misunderstanding, maybe it's just a freak combination of factors, and we bumped into the people of the Nine Star Sword Faction. " Xie Zhixiu naturally wouldn't let Zhang Sanyu investigate, although Zhang Sanyu wouldn't dare to do anything to him, but he would definitely take this opportunity to get rid of his trusted aides.
Zhang Sanyu had already expected that Xie Zhixiu would say this, so he calmly said, "I'm the Enforcement Elder, this time I'm not here to discuss with Sovereign, I'm just here to inform you."
"Don't go too far!" This time, Xie Zhixiu was thoroughly annoyed, Zhang Sanyu was obviously making him lose face in front of so many people.
Although the Enforcement Team had the autonomy to enforce the law, but under normal circumstances, they would need to discuss with the Sovereign. Now that Zhang Sanyu said this, it meant that no matter what they did in the future, they would ignore Xie Zhixiu, in other words, the Enforcement Team would be completely independent, Xie Zhixiu wouldn't be able to interfere even a little bit.
"I support." Instructor Yang said lightly.
"I also support!"
"We all support!"
All the martial artists spoke in unison. Xie Zhixiu wanted to kill them, so who would truly treat him as the sect leader? From this moment onwards, the internal conflict within the Wind Sword Sect had finally completely intensified. Xie Zhixiu had completely become a loner. This was the price of failure!
If Xie Zhixiu's plan succeeded, then Wind Sword School would become his, but if he failed, then he would lose the support of everyone!
