There were close to 20 Sect members. On average, each Sect had more than 100 experts, which added up to more than 2,000 experts. More than 2,000 Mystic Immortal experts were enough to crush a first-rate Sect. Even a Super Sect would suffer a great loss under the attack of more than 2,000 Mystic Immortal experts.
The Zhao Family was worse off than all the other Sects combined. Almost 3,000 Mystic Immortal experts were buried in this battle. One should know that these experts were not like the Three River Alliance, the Holocaust Sect or the Thousand Beasts Sect who were indirectly controlled by the Sect. They were the core strength of the Zhao Family. Every one of them was cultivated by the Zhao Family at great cost. Now, they were all buried in this battle.
All the major sects had achieved their previous goal of luring the enemy and greatly schemed against the Zhao family. All the experts had a feeling of exaltation. Unfortunately, this invisible barrier was too strange. They couldn't use their divine sense to probe it. A small amount of spiritual energy attacks were useless. They couldn't find a way to break it for the time being. Everyone knew that the Zhao Family's nest was inside, but they could only watch helplessly.
Since they couldn't do anything to the Zhao Family, they could only vent their anger on the beasts outside and slowly return to the Sect. This time, most of the super experts from all the Sect members had come here to set up traps. The Sect must be empty to a certain extent. Since they had achieved their goal, they naturally had to rush back to inform the Zhao Family and protect the Sect against the Zhao Family's retaliation.
Every Sect left a group of experts to keep an eye on the core area to prevent the Zhao Family from playing any tricks. Such a loss was definitely not something that any Sect could bear. If the Zhao Family concentrated their firepower on one Sect, it would probably be a disaster.
On the way back, the experts from all the Sect had almost wiped out all the beasts in the Trial Ground. Now, the Trial Ground was no longer a Trial Ground. Instead, it had become a place similar to a normal cultivator's territory. Only those with low cultivation couldn't easily get close to the core area.
Soon, all the Sect members received the news brought back by their experts. After hearing the results of the battle, the top management of each Sect let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed. Losing more than a hundred experts was still bearable for all sides, but the Zhao Family had suffered heavy losses. It could be considered a great fortune in misfortune.
While they were overjoyed, all the major Sect members were also scared. Fortunately, the person in charge of the Zhao Family this time seemed to have taken some stupid medicine. He actually thought of dividing his forces and wanted to capture all the masters of the major Sect in one fell swoop. This time, they went for wool and came home shorn. They suffered a double loss after trying to get the bride. It could be said that they reap what they sow.
If that had not been the case, all the masters of the Sect would have been killed. It would not have taken long for the arrogant Sect to be reduced to a first-rate Sect, and the entire Spiritual Realm would have been unified by the Zhao Family.
With the power that the Zhao Family had revealed this time, any Sect would be terrified and see them as a potential threat. Even if half of them were wiped out and the other half escaped back, who knew how many more of such experts there were? As long as the Zhao Family was not eliminated, all the major Sect members would not be able to eat and sleep in peace.
The elixir formula of the medicinal Qi released by Yang Chen had been verified by all parties. Almost all the cultivators who had taken the Heart Refinement Pill knew about it.
The medicinal Qi could trigger the addiction of the Heart Refinement Pill, which could make one's reaction speed slow down involuntarily during a battle. For everyone who had taken the Heart Refinement Pill, it was like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they did not know when it would fall.
Those who had taken the Heart Refinement Pill were all full of regret. If they had known this would happen, they would not have done it in the first place. They had done it for the mere pleasure and to improve their cultivation efficiency in a short period of time. However, they had forgotten that there were no shortcuts in real cultivation. Everything that looked delicious on the surface was all a trap.
However, it was too late to regret at this time. Those who were addicted to the Heart Refinement Pill could only accept this result helplessly. Since it was dangerous to go out and fight, they could only stay in a safe place before they got rid of these addictions. The process of getting rid of the addictions could be regarded as secluded cultivation.
Those who were not addicted to the Heart Refinement Pill did not dare to take it lightly. Who knew if there would be other side effects later on? It was said that they were not addicted to the Heart Refinement Pill, but they had also experimented and found that they would still be affected by the medicinal Qi. However, the effect was not particularly big. Even so, they had to be careful at all times. Otherwise, they would be taken advantage of by the enemy.
Originally, the Devil Tribulation had just ended. Although there were still sporadic monsters everywhere, it was a good time for them to go out for trial and cultivate their combat experience. However, because of the Heart Refinement Pill, most of the cultivators stayed quietly in their lairs and did not dare to go out easily, which made people feel a little speechless.
At this time, all the Sect finally realized how wise the rules of Chunyang Palace were. In the entire Spirit Realm, there were no more than ten Sect whose disciples could still move normally, and the biggest one was Chunyang Palace. Several other small Sect also saw Chunyang Palace's behavior. They believed in Yang Chen's judgment and did not allow their disciples to take the Heart Refinement Pill. At this time, they were the happiest.
Yang Chen's reputation in the Spirit Realm had once again risen to a higher level. In the eyes of all the major Sect, Yang Chen's importance had been raised again. All the major Sect was a little bit eager to see what Chunyang Palace would do.
Among the praises from all sides, there were a lot of rumors. At first, it was rumored that Yang Chen had discovered the elixir recipe of the Heart Refinement Pill, and the elixir recipe was indeed sold from a branch of Wanbao Tower. Although Yang Chen later took the initiative to jump out to refute the rumor, no one thought it was a big deal at that time. But now that Yang Chen had discovered the elixir recipe of the Heart Refinement Pill, it could actually trigger the addiction of the Heart Refinement Pill. Many people had gauged the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain.
Who knew if this elixir recipe was released by Yang Chen, and he first denied it and then released the elixir recipe of the Heart Refinement Pill to gain reputation?
Those who had such doubts were basically the cultivators of those small Sect and rogue cultivators. The people of the major Sect would never doubt it. It was an indisputable fact that the Zhao Family had used the Heart Refinement Pill to set up a trap for the major Sect. Yang Chen and the Zhao Family were by no means on the same side. Everyone knew this in their hearts.
In this battle, the Xuantian Sect was the happiest. They had lost the least masters and killed the most Zhao Family members. Of course, what made them most proud was that among the masters and disciples, the Xuantian Sect had taken the Heart Refinement Pill the least.
After receiving Yang Chen's notice, the higher-ups consciously let these Xuan Immortal masters who were going to set up the trap know some clues. Those who acted as bait were voluntary, and most of them had stagnated for a long time. Perhaps after the ordeal of the Heart Refinement Pill this time, they would have a new understanding and break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
