In less than fifteen minutes after they left the circular hall, the people from the four sects arrived.
Before they even entered the hall, they saw the corpses of the seven Knife-throwing Ninjas strewn across the hall from the distance. There were also around a dozen corpses in the small hall to the left that were scattered all over the place. The group became wary.
"Look over there!"
As someone in the crowd reminded them, Wudang Sect's Ouyang Qing, Shaolin Temple's thirteen staff-using monks, Emei Sect's Yue Hua, Beautiful Robes Faction's Phoenix Dances, and the others became wary. They looked at the small hall to the right, where a group of ninjas were guarding it. They stared at them with hostility.
'Strange!'
The strange atmosphere in the circular hall caused the group to not dare to be negligent. Once they sized up the place carefully, Ouyang Qing sighed deeply. "That person is really good!"
"Yeah."
The thirteen staff-using monks had solemn expressions.
The person had entered the place alone. He did not touch the boxes in the side halls that were of a lower difficulty level, and there were usually only three to five ninjas inside. Instead, he triggered a large group of ninjas in the hall, and once he killed them, he retreated unscathed.
Even if the thirteen staff-using monks worked together, they might not be able to do such a good job!
"Now, I'm even more curious as to just who he is."
As she spoke, Yue Hua had a smile on her face. The mistresses from Emei Sect behind her also had brilliant looks in their eyes. The image of the blue-robed young man that had been imprinted in their minds instantly became even taller and mightier.
"The things in the side hall to the right don't seem to have been touched."
"With so many ninjas guarding it, it will definitely be more valuable than the boxes we opened on our way here. Who should go?"
The four sects were a little tempted.
But after observing for a while, Shaolin Temple chose to withdraw.
"Go. We can't handle three Knife-throwing Ninjas. There are also four Cloning Ninjas. We won't fight against them."
Heaven Force, the staff-using monk in the lead, made his stance clear.
"Cloning Ninjas are indeed very troublesome."
The people from Emei Sect and Wudang Sect observed the situation in the small hall to the right while they calculated the price they would have to pay to handle the ninjas.
Beautiful Robes Faction's reaction was rather strange.
The Three Lonely Wolves brought a few people with them and headed straight to the small hall to the left. When the others saw this, they were worried that other traps would appear. "Be careful!" They followed the Three Lonely Wolves.
When they moved past the seven Knife-throwing Ninjas' corpses, Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, and the others cast a glance at the ninjas who had died in a straight line before their gazes landed on the last ninja. They sized him up a few times, and the shock in their eyes was self-evident.
"What sword technique is this?"
"He's not injured at all!"
"It's the sword will!"
Glutinous Rice said with a solemn expression.
"Based on the other ninjas' wounds, all of them were killed with one strike. That person used a high-tier sword technique that is at least in Mystical Realm. If he can bring out sword will, he must be above the ninth realm. Looks like he's a super elite!"
Nonsense.
The Three Lonely Wolves rolled their eyes at each other.
He had not gotten the first place on the Famous People Rank for nothing!
No matter what, Happy was someone who singlehandedly removed Five Venoms from World of Martial Arts. If he could not be considered as a super elite, then who could be?
But …
Young Lonely White's eyes were the sharpest. He crouched down beside one of the corpses and examined it. Then, under the group's incredulous gazes, he brought out a Universe Bag from under the corpse.
The group was dumbfounded.
'No way?!'
Forget about the elite only letting go of the normal boxes along the way, he didn't even take away the spoils of war after the arduous fight?
The Three Lonely Wolves reacted the fastest.
"Hurry!"
"Search through the corpses over there and gather all the spoils of war!" Young Lonely Seven whispered anxiously.
The eyes of the people from Beautiful Robes Faction lit up.
The group quickly ran into the small hall, and just as they expected, they found quite a number of Universe Bags. There were three large Soaring Eagle Swords, which were hidden weapons that added an additional 300 damage and increased shooting range by 10 feet. There were fifty of them, and one grade two masterpiece — a three-forked sword, a katana, and a Bamboo Hat.
When Phoenix Dances saw the numbers everyone reported, she could not help but be stunned.
Soaring Eagle Swords might be consumables, but their attributes were very great. Each set was worth at least ten thousand taels of silver crumbs. There was no need to mention the other three masterpieces.
No matter how she looked at it, this was a huge windfall!
If someone told her that the person did not care about the spoils of war, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death. The only possibility was …
The enemy didn't have the time and opportunity to collect the loot from these ninjas. In other words, the number of surviving ninjas here might be more than the number of ninjas that died here. Even the mysterious expert couldn't deal with them, so he had to abandon the loot and quickly escape!
When she thought of this possibility, Phoenix Dances sucked in a deep breath and gave an order to One Circle.
"Things might not be as simple as they seem. One Circle, hurry to the tunnel over there and observe the situation. Be careful. If you run into any ninjas, come back immediately."
She had already noticed that the situation was off.
"Alright!"
The others also guessed this. The joy on their faces faded away, and their expressions became solemn.
"Then, these things …"
Butt Shaker said, a little uncertain. "Should we add them to our quest and put them into the clan storage?"
"No!"
Young Lonely White instinctively pushed his nose.
"We'll temporarily put them away for that guy."
"Yeah, I think so too. It's not worth it to offend such an elite for some small profit." Phoenix Dances' answer made the group nod.
At that moment …
The thirteen staff-using monks from Shaolin Temple finally noticed the situation over there. They smiled wanly in envy. "You're really lucky. You managed to get masterpieces without any effort."
"You can't say that. We're just temporarily keeping them for that person. When we meet up, we'll return them," Phoenix Dances quickly said.
The thirteen staff-using monks looked at each other and were stunned. Then, they placed their palms together.
"Amitabha."
"It's no wonder why you were able to build such a large sect. Your breadth of mind is not something a normal person can compare to. I admire you."
"You praise me too much."
Phoenix Dances wrapped her fist in her palm and returned the gesture.
When they saw this, the people from Beautiful Robes Faction had the same expression on their faces. They were jealous.
In the end, Beautiful Robes Faction gave up on the people in the side hall to the right. Emei Sect and Wudang Sect attacked together. One of them obtained the items in the weapon boxes, and the other obtained the spoils of war from the ninjas.
With their advantage in numbers and terrain, they trapped the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the small hall and killed them in a domineering manner.
Just when they distributed the spoils of war, a plump figure quickly returned to the hall from the other side of the tunnel. He ran in front of the people from Beautiful Robes Faction and pointed outside while gasping for breath.
"So … so many ninjas …"
The expressions of the people in the hall changed drastically!
