Betraying the Sect
"Let's heal the external injuries first. As for the internal injuries, we'll talk about them slowly."
Gu Xuan took out an elixir and swallowed it. He had brought some elixirs that could heal external injuries so that he could heal external injuries.
Internal injuries from breaking through to the next realm were much more difficult to heal. However, there were so many treasures in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion that it wasn't difficult to find one that could heal internal injuries.
Therefore, Gu Xuan was gambling on whether he could find an elixir that could heal internal injuries. If he found one, there would be no problem. However, if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to cultivate for twenty days.
In just half a day, Gu Xuan's injuries had completely healed. His cultivation had also stabilized at the level of a three-star Honorable Realm and his strength had greatly improved.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Xuan had been looking forward to another outbreak of ferocious beasts during this period of time. Unfortunately, the thing that terrified many cultivators didn't come.
On the morning of the fifth day, a violent rumble came from the Falling Cloud City, causing everyone to withdraw from their cultivation.
Gu Xuan also walked out of his residence with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Big Brother Xue Feng, what's going on?" Liu Ying was also puzzled as she asked.
"It's time for the treasure to appear. These people have Spiritual Treasures and can sense more things. It seems that the people of the Falling Cloud Sect have sensed that the ferocious beasts have completely retreated, so they're putting away their Spiritual Treasures," Xue Feng explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the majestic ancient city suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few hundred cultivators on the ground.
"The ferocious beasts have disappeared and the treasure has appeared. Let's go!"
"Snatch it! There are so many treasures. I'll snatch one even if I have to risk my life!"
"Hurry!"
When the Falling Cloud City disappeared, the cultivators went crazy and quickly fled.
As long as the ferocious beasts retreated, some hidden treasures would appear. Every place was possible, so most of the cultivators just randomly chose a direction and started searching.
Although snatching treasures required strength, the person who discovered the treasure first would naturally have a higher chance of obtaining it. It was very likely that the person who discovered the treasure would take it away without anyone noticing.
"Senior Brother Xue Feng, let's go quickly," Pang Yun said excitedly.
"We're still missing one person," Xue Feng said with a frown.
"Missing person? You mean Gu Peng? " Pang Yun frowned. During this period of time together, he and Liu Ying had long since acknowledged Gu Xuan, and even had some reverence for Gu Xuan.
As for Gu Peng, he had left on his own, and his whereabouts were unknown. This made Pang Yun and Li Qiye very dissatisfied.
"That's right. Gu Peng is a disciple of our Yingtian Sect. This time, I am the leader. I must be responsible for his safety," Xue Feng said solemnly.
Gu Xuan shook his head slightly in his heart. This Xue Feng was indeed kind-hearted, but he was also somewhat indecisive. Gu Peng had left alone and no longer treated them as his companions, but Xue Feng had to waste this precious time waiting.
"Junior Brothers, I'm different from all of you. Since I'm the leader, I have to protect all of your lives. Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to the sect. All of you go look for treasures first. I'll wait here for a while. We'll meet up when the time comes."
Xue Feng gritted his teeth and said.
Just as Gu Xuan was about to persuade him, a strange voice came from the side, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Xue Feng to be so concerned about me. However, Senior Brother, you're thinking too much."
Xue Feng and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Peng walking over. Beside him was a young man with a strong aura. This person was wearing the clothes of the Drifting Cloud Sect.
"Gu Peng, why are you standing with him?" Pang Yun pointed at the Drifting Cloud Sect disciple and questioned.
When they entered, they were humiliated by the Drifting Cloud Sect disciples. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that they were enemies. However, they didn't expect Gu Peng to be so close to the Drifting Cloud Sect after disappearing for a few days.
"What do I mean? Naturally, it means that I'm joining the Drifting Cloud Sect. " Gu Peng revealed a mocking smile, "All of you are chasing after Gu Xuan and ignoring me. Why should I be with you?"
"Gu Peng!" Xue Feng's eyes were filled with anger, "Do you know what you're doing? You're betraying the sect!"
"So what if I betray your tiny Heaven's Response Sect?" The young man from the Drifting Cloud Sect sneered, "Our Drifting Cloud Sect has three Emperor Realm experts and dominates a region. Gu Peng choosing to join our Drifting Cloud Sect is naturally a wise choice. His future prospects will be a hundred times better than in your small sect!"
"I absolutely won't allow this to happen! You want to take Gu Peng away? Sure, but you have to fight me. If you can't defeat me, don't even think about it! "Xue Feng said angrily as he looked at the Drifting Cloud Sect disciple.
"Fight you?" The Drifting Cloud Sect disciple shook his head, his face filled with disdain, "How troublesome. In order to recruit a new junior brother, I actually have to fight trash from a tiny place like you. However, for junior brother Gu Peng, I'll just waste my time."
"Many thanks, senior brother Cang Feng!" A trace of excitement flashed through Gu Peng's eyes.
"Junior brother Gu, since you're able to join the Drifting Cloud Sect, I'll naturally treat you as a brother. This is nothing. After this trip to the Gu Mansion, we'll return to the Drifting Cloud Sect together. At that time, you can officially join the sect. You'll have a much brighter future than in a tiny sect."
A trace of arrogance flashed through the eyes of the Drifting Cloud Sect disciple called Cang Feng.
Liu Ying and Pang Yun were also furious. They were different from Gu Xuan. They had grown up in the Heaven's Response Sect and had special feelings for it.
It was one thing for Gu Peng to betray the Heaven's Response Sect, but he had even brought a Drifting Cloud Sect disciple to humiliate them. Although the two of them had come to say goodbye, everyone knew that changing sects in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion was just a matter of words. There wouldn't be any trouble if they directly took someone away.
However, the two of them had still come. This was definitely Gu Peng's request.
He had betrayed the sect and even came to show off. This kind of brazen humiliation had undoubtedly touched their bottom line. If it weren't for the difference in strength, the two of them would have already attacked.
"Hurry up and attack."
Cang Feng's aura erupted. He glanced at Xue Feng, and the disdain in his eyes deepened.
He didn't care about Gu Xuan and the others at all. A sect that had an Emperor Realm cultivator naturally had a sense of superiority. Although they were all small sects, they looked down on the Heaven's Response Sect.
