Hearing the elder's order, all the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect felt their mouths go dry. They couldn't say anything. Then, they looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence.
"Don't do evil because it's small, and don't do good because it's small!" The elder of the Ironwood Sect looked at all the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect and spoke once again. His voice carried a tinge of sternness as he shouted, "Since you said the wrong thing, you must admit your mistake and remember this lesson forever. Don't forget it and make the same mistake again!"
"Now, apologize to Young Master Xiao for what you said just now. Whoever dares to disobey will be punished according to the sect rules!"
In the face of this Ironwood Sect elder's stern reprimand, all the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect revealed an intense struggle on their faces. It was obvious that they were extremely unwilling to apologize to Xiao Fan.
However, the elders of the Ironwood Sect had great authority in the Ironwood Sect. The disciples had to obey their orders. Therefore, no matter how unwilling the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect were, they could only lower their heads and walk towards Xiao Fan unwillingly.
"Young Master Xiao, we're sorry!"
"We misspoke just now!"
"We were wrong!"
.....
All the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect apologized to Xiao Fan in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Xiao Fan remained calm and accepted the apologies of the Ironwood Sect's young geniuses, as if it was only natural for him to do so.
"Tie Chen, you go and apologize to Young Master Xiao too!" The elder of the Ironwood Sect saw that almost all the young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect had gone to apologize to Xiao Fan, but Tie Chen was still standing there. Therefore, he immediately spoke to Tie Chen in a deep voice.
"Thirteenth Elder, I'm not going!" Facing the elder's request, Tie Chen's expression was cold and his voice was extremely stiff. He directly refused to apologize to Xiao Fan.
"You're not going?" Hearing Tie Chen's reply, the elder raised his thick black eyebrows. He was about to say something but was interrupted.
"Thirteenth Elder, that's enough!" An elder of the Ironwood Sect who was obviously on Tie Chen's side shook his head and said, "Who hasn't made mistakes before? It's fine as long as they know they're wrong and don't do it again. There's no need to embarrass them like this! "
"A mistake is a mistake. Since they're wrong, they have to admit it. This is the biggest rule!" However, the elder of the Ironwood Sect insisted and refused to back down. He still wanted Tie Chen to apologize to Xiao Fan.
"Alright, stop arguing, you two!" The other elders of the Ironwood Sect came over to mediate the situation and persuaded, "Let's all take a step back. Since Tie Chen is unwilling to apologize, how about we old fellows apologize to Young Master Xiao on our behalf?"
"Sure!"
"Yes!"
The Ironwood Sect elder who tried to mediate the situation was the leader of this trip to the Ironwood Sect. His position was the highest. Therefore, when he spoke, the Ironwood Sect elder who sided with Tie Chen and the Ironwood Sect elder who insisted on Tie Chen's apology could not say anything else. They could only agree after a moment of silence.
"Then let's go!"
Seeing that the two elders of the Ironwood Sect had backed down, the elder of the Ironwood Sect smiled and said. He then walked towards Xiao Fan in the air. The other elders of the Ironwood Sect followed closely behind him.
They arrived in front of Xiao Fan!
"Young Master Xiao, the few of us old fellows represent the entire Ironwood Sect to apologize to you. Just now, it was our fault for not disciplining our disciples properly and offended Young Master Xiao. However, we hope that Young Master Xiao will not take it to heart!" The Ironwood Sect elder who tried to smooth things over politely cupped his hands towards Xiao Fan and said.
"It's fine!" Xiao Fan's eyes were gloomy and calm as he said.
"Why don't Young Master Xiao come to the Divine Boat we're on?" One of the elders of the Ironwood Sect said with a smile, "We also have a lot of things to discuss with Young Master Xiao!"
"There's no need. I'll just take the Divine Boat. When we reach the Heavenly Clouds Mansion, I'll leave on my own!" Xiao Fan said and declined politely.
"Alright, we'll follow Young Master Xiao's suggestion!" After being directly rejected by Xiao Fan, the few Iron Wood Sect elders' faces became somewhat dry and uneasy. However, they still smiled as they replied.
Xiao Fan nodded at the elders of the Ironwood Sect as a greeting. Then, he turned around and returned to Zuo Leng's Divine Boat.
After the elders of the Ironwood Sect stared at Xiao Fan's back, a glint flashed in their eyes. Then, they quickly returned to normal, turned around, and returned to the leading boat.
Then, when everyone returned to the Divine Boats, the Ironwood Sect's Divine Boats retreated one after another. They retreated for three miles, far away from the crater before stopping. Then, they floated in the air and waited for an hour to pass.
During this time!
Another few large sects arrived, and in the end, another large sect's people entered. The other large sects reacted in time. When they saw the example of the unlucky large sect, they were extremely frightened and stopped at the edge of the Heavenly Pit. They didn't really rush to the top of the Heavenly Pit and luckily avoided being killed.
Then, the few big sects who were lucky enough to avoid being killed gathered together and discussed intensely why they were attacked by the Underworld Corrosive Ghosts in the crater, even though it was not two or three days before or after the full moon.
However, even after discussing for a long time, they were still unable to come to an effective conclusion. The few parties could only look at the Heavenly Pit in front of them that they could not cross. They were like ants on a hot pan, extremely anxious and irritated.
On the other side, Xiao Fan sat peacefully in the Divine Boat. He closed his eyes and rested. The fifteen young geniuses of the Ironwood Sect sat obediently in the Divine Boat, not saying a word.
Although they appeared to be sitting there without moving, a storm surged in their hearts. They were constantly surprised as to how Xiao Fan knew everything that had happened in the Sky Pit.
The people of the Ironwood Sect in the other Divine Boats were basically the same. Everyone was wondering how Xiao Fan knew about the secret of the crater, and what was Xiao Fan's real identity and background?
The few Divine Boats fell into an inexplicable silence.
.....
Half an hour passed by very quickly!
"Alright, we can go now!" When the time was up, Xiao Fan opened his eyes, turned his head, and nodded to Zuo Leng beside him.
After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zuo Leng immediately relayed Xiao Fan's words to the few elders of the Ironwood Sect. Then, they gave the order to start the Divine Boats and cross the crater.
Seeing that the Iron Wood Sect was about to cross the Heavenly Pit, the other large sects who were arguing immediately stopped their discussion and turned their heads to look. Everyone stared unblinkingly at the Heavenly Pit and the Iron Wood Sect's Divine Boats, wanting to see if the Iron Wood Sect could safely cross the Heavenly Pit.
"Go!"
The few elders of the Ironwood Sect shouted at the same time. Then, the Divine Boats of the Ironwood Sect started moving at full speed. They turned into numerous faint green lights in the sky and rushed towards the crater.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
The Divine Boats arrived at the edge of the crater in an instant!
Just as the Divine Boats were about to reach the edge of the crater, all the people of the Ironwood Sect in the Divine Boats felt their hearts beating violently. Their hands subconsciously grasped the things beside them. They were filled with fear as they waited for the judgment of fate.
However, everything was fine.
The Divine Boats of the Ironwood Sect crossed the sky above the crater. The Rotten Underworld Ghosts in the crater did not move at all. They allowed the Divine Boats of the Ironwood Sect to cross the crater safely. In the end, they successfully crossed the crater and entered the territory of the Heavenly Clouds Mansion.
"We did it!"
Seeing that they had safely passed through the Heavenly Pit, the hearts of all the Ironwood Sect members that had been tensed up earlier were instantly put at ease. Everyone's faces were filled with an intense joy and excitement.
At the same time, behind them!
"Let's go!"
When the other big sects saw that the Ironwood Sect had crossed the crater safely, they did not have the time to be surprised. It seemed that the Ironwood Sect knew about the sudden change in the crater today. They knew when they could cross the crater safely. They ordered the Divine Boats and War Chariots of their sects to rush towards the crater and cross the crater.
In an instant, dozens of Divine Boats and War Chariots rose into the sky. All the Arrays on them were activated. They rushed towards the sky above the crater in a serious manner.
Soon, just like the Ironwood Sect, they passed through the Heavenly Pit safely and arrived at the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's territory.
"We finally crossed the crater successfully!" A person from a big sect stood on a War Chariot. He turned his head slightly and looked at the horrifying crater behind him that was emitting a faint chill. It was as if it led to the Underworld.
"The Ironwood Sect must know something about the crater. Let's catch up with them and ask them!" An Elder from a big sect looked at the Ironwood Sect that had left in a hurry. His eyes lit up and he immediately gave an order.
"Catch up with the Ironwood Sect immediately and find out how they know when to cross the crater safely!" An important figure from another great sect also spoke. His deep eyes stared intently at the backs of the Ironwood Sect's Divine Boats that had almost disappeared as he gave the order.
Then, the War Chariots and War Chariots of the big sects started moving again. They turned into streams of light in the sky and rushed towards the center of the Heavenly Clouds Mansion.
