Looking at Elder Ma, Zhang Yang, and Tie Chen who were lying motionless on the ground, it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. No one spoke a word and no one stepped forward.
Those elders who were very friendly earlier and wanted to marry Zhang Yang to the point where they were just short of sending their daughters, granddaughters, and disciples to Zhang Yang's bed were now watching with folded arms. They did not even have the intention to help Elder Ma and the others up.
Some of them did not even bother to look at Zhang Yang. It was as if Elder Ma and the other two were just a bunch of useless weeds. Their attitude could be said to be incomparably indifferent.
Then, they looked at the seats where Xiao Fan and the other two were sitting. Their expressions were like a change of expression in a Beijing opera. Their entire being instantly changed from being cold to being modest. Looking at them, it was as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"You all …!"
Looking at the drastic change in attitude of these elders, the Water Carp Palace's elders suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Their bodies were incomparably cold. They opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. Their faces were filled with bitterness.
If you had value, then there would be countless people who would come to support you. It was not impossible to treat you like an ancestor. When you lost your value, then you would become a weed that no one cared about. No one would even spare you an extra glance.
The hypocrisy of the world was nothing more than this!
Previously, Zhang Yang had merged with the Three True Flames and turned from a carp into a dragon. His future was boundless. However, at this moment, all the bones in his body were shattered and there were countless hidden injuries. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was crippled. How difficult would it be to recover to his previous state?
Even if he still had the Three True Flames, using the Three True Flames required an equivalent strength. If he had no strength and was crippled, how could he use the Three True Flames?
Poor Zhang Yang was previously a hot target pursued by the elders of various sects. However, at this moment, he had been mercilessly abandoned. It was truly lamentable.
At this moment!
"Can the Water Carp Palace leave the Quiet Night Pavilion now and proceed with the final reckoning?" A white-robed old man from the Quiet Night Pavilion leisurely walked in front of everyone. He had a faint smile on his face as he spoke to the remaining elders of the Water Carp Palace.
"We won't leave the Quiet Night Pavilion right now, so we won't proceed with the reckoning first!" Seeing this white-robed old man, one of the elders of the Water Carp Palace immediately became as pale as a sheet of paper and hurriedly spoke.
The other elders of the Water Carp Palace also hurriedly shook their heads and expressed that the Water Carp Palace had no intention of leaving the Quiet Night Pavilion right now. there was no need for the final reckoning.
"Alright, then we'll wait until the Water Carp Palace leaves before we settle the final score!" The white-robed old man continued to smile faintly in the face of the Water Carp Palace's elders' panicked demands. There was no change in his expression as he nodded.
The Water Carp Palace elder who was the first to speak unconsciously swallowed his saliva and said with great difficulty, "Although the final accounting is not being carried out yet, could our Water Carp Palace take a look at our list?"
"No problem!" The white-robed old man immediately replied with a smile. He then raised his hand and snapped his fingers. An extremely beautiful white-robed young lady quickly walked over and presented the list to the elders of the Water Carp Palace with both hands before gently retreating.
Receiving the list with trembling hands, the elder who spoke first only glanced at it and immediately staggered backward. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The other Water Carp Palace elders mustered up their courage to take a look. Just like the Water Carp Palace elder who spoke first, all of their vision turned black and their faces turned deathly pale without a trace of blood.
As mentioned before, although the Water Carp Palace didn't forbid killing and fighting within the pavilion, and no one from the Quiet Night Pavilion would come out to stop you, as long as you dared to make a move, you would have to pay a huge price after the matter was settled.
To put it simply, the price was money.
If one dared to make a move in the Quiet Night Pavilion, then they would have to pay a sky-high price as compensation for the pavilion. The more intense the fight, the more expensive the price would be.
At this moment, Zhang Yang had attacked Zuo Leng and Elder Ma had attacked Xiao Fan. Because of this, the remaining elders of the Water Carp Palace were mentally prepared to a certain extent. However, when they saw the compensation offered by the Quiet Night Pavilion, they couldn't help but be frightened to death on the spot.
"Fellow Daoists from the Water Carp Palace, please don't forget that if the Water Carp Palace is unable to hand over the items on the list to us during the final reckoning, I'm sure all of you are aware of the consequences!" Seeing the ashen-faced elders, the white-robed old man from the Quiet Night Pavilion didn't show any changes in his expression. He still had a faint smile on his face as he spoke.
"The Water Carp Palace understands!" In the face of the white-robed old man's "kind" warning, the first elder from the Water Carp Palace seemed to have lost all of his strength. His voice was extremely hoarse as he spoke with great difficulty.
"That's good then!" Having said that, the white-robed old man turned his head to look at the people from the Ironwood Sect and said with a faint smile, "Does the Ironwood Sect also need to take a look at their list?"
"Let's take a look!" At this moment, the Ironwood Sect's leading elder's face turned slightly pale. However, he still opened his mouth to speak. His voice was filled with bitterness.
In the Quiet Night Pavilion, the Quiet Night Pavilion didn't care who was in the right and who wasn't, who was the bully, who was the humiliated. It didn't have the time to judge these things, and only stipulated that as long as there was a fight, both sides of the fight had to give the Quiet Night Pavilion monetary compensation.
Although it was somewhat unreasonable, overbearing, and black-hearted, it couldn't be helped. These were the rules of the Quiet Night Pavilion. Either one didn't violate the rules of the pavilion, or one could only admit defeat and consider oneself unlucky once violated.
As for reneging on the debt, it was simply impossible because a few great sects had caused trouble in the Quiet Night Pavilion in the past. However, they weren't willing to compensate the pavilion, so they left the pavilion and went back to their sect.
In the end, on that very night, their entire sect was directly destroyed by a strange and terrifying force of unknown origin. After that, the entire sect was annihilated regardless of gender, age, or age. Not a single person was spared, and the sect was completely annihilated and became history.
Therefore, with these examples, unless one was from the Heavenly Sword Mountain, the Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, or the Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground, no matter which great sect they were from, they had to follow the pavilion's rules and pay as much as they could. The pavilion didn't want a cent more, and they didn't want a cent less either.
"Snap!"
The white-robed old man once again snapped his fingers. Afterward, a beautiful girl quickly came forward and presented a list to the people from the Ironwood Sect with both hands.
After receiving the list with a wry smile, the leading elder of the Ironwood Sect took a glance at it. In an instant, the face of the leading elder from the Ironwood Sect was as white as a sheet of paper.
The other elders from the Ironwood Sect also received the list. After seeing the amount of compensation, all of their bodies violently shook as their faces turned pale.
This was truly a compensation that cost their lives!
"Does the Ironwood Sect have any objections?" The white-robed old man looked at the people from the Ironwood Sect with a smile and asked.
"No objections!" The leading elder from the Ironwood Sect shook his head with difficulty and said.
"That's good!" The white-robed old man smiled at the people from the Ironwood Sect. His smile was very warm.
The other elders from the great sects looked at the white-robed old man with dread. Their bodies unconsciously retreated as they subconsciously wanted to get as far away from this white-robed old man as possible.
The saying 'smiling tiger' referred to people like the white-robed old man. When facing people like this, it was best to avoid them as much as possible.
"Finally, it's this young master's list. Would you like to take a look at the list?" The white-robed old man raised his head and looked at Xiao Fan's seat as he said with a smile.
Due to the obstruction of the array, the others did not even know whether the person sitting there was a man or a woman, old or young. However, the people from the Quiet Night Pavilion still knew. Therefore, it was reasonable for the white-robed old man to address Xiao Fan as' young master '.
However!
"Young master?"
Hearing the white-robed old man's words, the hearts of all the elders in the surroundings suddenly trembled. They looked at Xiao Fan's seat in unison as their eyes were filled with bewilderment and uncertainty.
Previously, they had a lot of suspicions about Xiao Fan's identity. However, most of their suspicions were that Xiao Fan was an old man who had made a name for himself a long time ago. Therefore, they respectfully addressed Xiao Fan as' senior '.
But now, the result was out of everyone's expectations. Xiao Fan was actually a young man.
This result caused everyone to be completely stunned. Then, waves of shock surged in their hearts, constantly and fiercely shaking the nerve endings of everyone present.
A young man had suppressed Zhang Yang, Elder Ma, and Tie Chen with just a raise of his hand. The whole process was as simple and easy as slaughtering three chickens.
Then, who could this young man be?
One must know that there were not many young people in the Spirit Domain who could reach this step. Each of them was a peerless heaven's pride that was on par with or even surpassing the older generation. So, could it be … that he was one of the top ten young people in the Spirit Domain?
The Son of Bei Cang? Jian Wu Chen?
Perhaps it was impossible, but it was not impossible.
