NOVPUBChapter 957: Chapter 508: The Contest Chapter 957: Chapter 508: The Contest At that time, the mountaintop was bustling, regardless of one’s status or level of cultivation, all were sizing up Lin Tianming and the others outside.
Some had arrived early and gathered together, discussing the identities of Lin Tianming and his group, as well as the purpose of their sudden visit to Qingyun Sect.
“According to what the Golden Core Expert said, those three are actually from some of the major Golden Elixir Forces of the Wei Kingdom!”
“Isn’t it?”
“Two years ago, Uncle Xu led many disciples to attack the Wei Kingdom, and it seems like he has not shown himself since, including those brothers who followed him to the battle.”
“Could it be that Uncle Xu has really fallen?”
The crowd couldn’t help but voice their doubts, immediately stirring up everyone’s attention.
...
“Just now, according to what Senior Zhou said, it’s likely true!”
“That person clearly came to cause trouble, to pursue the responsibility of Uncle Xu and others attacking the Wei Kingdom.”
Upon hearing this speculation, many lower-ranking disciples of Qingyun Sect were shocked.
“What? Are the rumors of Uncle Xu and his party all falling true?”
“You’re late, kid, you didn’t hear what Senior Zhou said.”
“And the matters that Senior Zhou spoke of in public weren’t even refuted by the Great Elder, so it must be true.”
“It’s actually true…”
“Uncle Xu was a Mid Stage Golden Core Strongman, and he set out with several of the same rank, how could they have fallen so easily?”
A cultivator with an incredulous expression on his face, stood there completely stunned.
And there were not a few like him here, with the majority within the Sect sharing this view.
After all, these low-ranking disciples had very limited cultivation and vision, and their information was not well-informed.
Although there had been many rumors within the Sect before, the upper echelons never came forward, nor did they publicly acknowledge, nor did they stop the spread of the rumors.
As a result, even though it had caused a significant impact within Qingyun Sect at the beginning,
because it could not be confirmed, the disciples of Qingyun Sect all thought it was just a rumor and eventually it died down.
Now, judging from the reaction of the Great Elder, it is probably true that the force sent to attack the Wei Kingdom was basically annihilated.
At this time, the disciples of Qingyun Sect who almost had confirmation, one by one wore expressions of fright, most of them in disbelief.
However, there were also quite a few Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with fairly informed news, who had actually had an idea in their minds for some time.
For a while, these people were also guessing, what exactly happened on the territory of the Wei Kingdom?
Otherwise, how could such an outcome have come about?
Thus, the originally shocked cultivators began discussing among themselves, making the entire scene much noisier.
Such a bustling scene did not cease.
As more and more cultivators gathered on the mountaintop, the whole scene became even more intense.
At this moment, Lin Tianming and his group, with the appearance of Chen Jingtian and others, were all looking solemn.
At the same time, their Magical Treasures appeared in their hands at some unknown point.
Across from them, seeing the menacing looks on the faces of the group of nine people, Feng Changgong and his group had somber expressions.
Especially He Lanjun, who had been raging before, seemed like a wild beast, ready to explode at any moment.
Just then, two more people appeared within Qingyun Sect.
Looking over, both were Golden Core Cultivators, one of Mid Stage Golden Core and one of Early Stage Golden Core.
As these two arrived behind He Lanjun, his expression eased somewhat.
Lin Tianming and the others also saw the newcomers, who were Golden Core Cultivators from Qingyun Sect, and their expressions turned even more solemn.
After all, within the ranks of Qingyun Sect, there were seven Golden Core Cultivators, three of them at Late Stage Golden Core, three at Mid Stage Golden Core, and one at Early Stage Golden Core.
Putting aside Feng Changgong and Ren Feihong of Forging Sword Valley, and Wang Huashan and Tian Yuqing of Qingmu Sect, Qingyun Sect now actually had three Golden Core Stage cultivators.
It should be noted that before this, Qingyun Sect had already lost four Golden Core stage elders, including two at the Medium Stage.
Even so, there were still several Golden Core Elders left in Qingyun Sect, and they might not necessarily represent all the strength of their Sect.
In their eyes, no matter which Sect it was, would probably not expose all their Golden Core Stage Combat Power.
Take the Lin Family, for instance; they too had not disclosed that Lin Shilu had stepped into the Golden Core Stage.
In such a situation, Qingyun Sect did indeed have a substantial probability of having hidden members.
As a result, the foundation of Qingyun Sect was quite unexpected to Lin Tianming and the others.
Even with the arrival of two with Golden Core Combat Strength, the standoff on the scene still had not been broken.
After another small half moment of confrontation, both sides were staring each other down through the air, as if neither were willing to back down.
Seeing this situation, Feng Changgong let out a wry smile and then cupped his hands toward Zhou Yunxiao, speaking first to break the silence.
“Daoist Zhou, you’ve seen the situation for yourself, you don’t hold any advantage at all.”
“In my opinion, it’s better for us to call it quits, how about we avoid each other’s waters from now on?”
Feng Changgong’s words were sincere, with a tone of pleading for peace.
In fact, that was exactly the case.
And indeed, including Wang Huashan on the other side, they also didn’t want to escalate the conflict any further.
After all, the initial instigator Zhao Hongsheng, as well as the Golden Sword Sect which started the trouble, had both been annihilated.
