"Elder Luo Kai, your perspective is too small! Too small!" Ye Feng explained in all seriousness upon hearing Luo Kai's question. "They are the future of the sect! As long as we can make them stronger, any price paid is worth it!"
Heh heh! Hearing this, Luo Kai gave a stiff, hollow laugh, finding himself momentarily unable to refute!
"Forget it. It's just one Formation Flag anyway. Let him be prodigal!" In the end, Luo Kai didn't want to argue anymore. What could you possibly gain by arguing with a prodigal?
"This is our fate!" Chen Haoyu consoled the other four Heavenly Geniuses and Leng Wufeng with a wry smile. "At least it's only one Formation Flag. Junior Brother is being considerate enough. Let's just endure it head-on!" After all, what else could they do besides endure?
"Oh right," Ye Feng added casually, "no matter what power level is released, this Formation Flag can only be maintained for ten hours." As he spoke, he directly took out the remaining ninety-nine Thousand Feather Sword Formation Flags. "Elder Luo Kai, I'll leave all these Formation Flags with you. From now on, even using two flags a day will be enough for fifty days."
Hiss!
When the crowd saw Ye Feng take out another ninety-nine Formation Flags, they all sucked in a cold breath! These were 9th Grade 9th Rank Formation Flags! Even for a top-tier Formation Master, crafting a single flag of this level was no simple task. Yet here you were, pulling out a hundred at once? Were you running a wholesale business here?!
Prodigal! Too damn prodigal! Even though they already knew Ye Feng was prodigal, these one hundred top-tier Formation Flags gave everyone a completely new understanding of his prodigality!
"Sect Master, please come quickly! We really can't stay in the Saintess's sect anymore! Please take us back quickly!" While the others were still reeling from the shock of the hundred Formation Flags, Chen Haoyu had already quietly stepped aside, taken out a Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, and contacted Luo Wuming. One hundred 9th Grade 9th Rank killing formation Formation Flags – who the hell could withstand that?! He no longer cared about getting any benefits from Junior Brother Ye Feng; he just wanted to escape this place as quickly as possible! First, it was this kind of killing formation flag; who knew what Ye Feng would pull out next time to torment them!
Hm? Far away in the Xingji Sect, Luo Wuming revealed a look of confusion upon hearing this, not understanding what Chen Haoyu had experienced to make him so desperate to return to the Xingji Sect.
"Senior Brother, from now on, the important task of supervising the others is entrusted to you," Ye Feng suddenly walked up to Chen Haoyu at this moment, directly stuffing twenty Sudden Enlightenment Pills into his hand.
"This..." Chen Haoyu looked at the twenty Sudden Enlightenment Pills in his hand, his expression conflicted. Finally, gritting his teeth, he directly cut off the connection with the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant. Looking at Ye Feng, he slapped his chest and assured, "Junior Brother, just leave this small matter to Senior Brother!"
"Still thinking of running?" Ye Feng chuckled inwardly with satisfaction, watching Chen Haoyu abandon his escape plan. If the Blood-Devouring Mantis hadn't tipped him off just now, his Senior Brothers and Sister might have actually escaped!
Meanwhile, far away in the Xingji Sect, Luo Wuming stared blankly at the suddenly disconnected Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, muttering to himself, "What's going on? Should I go pick you guys up or not?"
No! Luo Wuming thought. Chen Haoyu, as the Eldest Senior Brother, is steady and reliable. He absolutely wouldn't send for help unless something was truly wrong. But being in my daughter's sect, they definitely wouldn't be in mortal danger.
Thinking this, Luo Wuming flew directly towards the Back Mountain. He felt it necessary to inform the Great Ancestor about this matter, which would give him a natural reason to visit the Star Soul Sect. He recalled how the five Great Ancestors had previously engaged in extreme internal competition even when begging. He wondered if, when he went over this time, he should also learn from the five Great Ancestors – don tattered clothes, hold a broken bowl, and squat outside Ye Feng's residence for a round of begging!
"What!" "Why didn't you mention such a major event sooner!" However, when Luo Wuming arrived at the Back Mountain and explained his purpose, he saw the five Great Ancestors immediately return to their own Secluded Cultivation Caves, only to emerge fully equipped with tattered clothes and broken bowls! He was completely stunned!
Not only was Luo Wuming stunned, but Bi Gang, who had been waiting foolishly here all along, was also stunned!
"Everyone," Luo Tianxing spoke first, seeing the other four Great Ancestors also vying for this opportunity, "you all know Bi Gang has been at our sect for some time now. He just wants to meet Ye Feng. Since the five Core Disciples are occupied with matters, I can take him over to see Ye Feng while handling this situation. You wouldn't try to snatch this from me, would you?"
Despicable! Shameless! Brazen! Old Scheming Dog! Hearing this, the other four Great Ancestors cursed wildly in their hearts! Bi Gang wanted to leave days ago, but you desperately kept him here! As it turns out, you were waiting here to scheme against us!
Ai! Seeing this scene, Luo Wuming beside them sighed helplessly and directly turned to leave the Back Mountain. It was laughable that he had thought he could use this opportunity to visit the Star Soul Sect, but he truly hadn't expected the five Great Ancestors were also waiting for such a natural excuse!
A moment later.
As Luo Tianxing, wearing a victorious smile, soared into the sky with Bi Gang, rapidly flying away from the sect, the four Great Ancestors below watched with eyes purple from envy. If not for the absolute necessity of someone staying behind to guard the sect against potential raids from hostile sects, they would have chased after them immediately.
"Why don't we go discuss with Luo Wuming about restarting the protective grand formation? That way, we wouldn't have to stay behind here," suggested the Fifth Ancestor, Chu Yunshan, somewhat unwillingly.
"Forget it. Let Eldest Brother have it this time," Second Ancestor Jiang Haoyu sighed. "If not for Bi Gang coming this time, we really wouldn't have known about Heavenly Dao City's existence, nor how crucial Supreme-grade Spirit Crystals are there. There will be opportunities in the future." With that, Jiang Haoyu turned and walked directly towards his own Secluded Cultivation Cave.
Hearing this, the other three Great Ancestors also sighed, then walked into their respective Secluded Cultivation Caves.
...
"Old Luo, if not for this unexpected situation, how long did you intend to keep me here?" On the way to the Star Soul Sect, Bi Gang looked at Luo Tianxing and asked directly. These past few days, he had been wondering why Luo Tianxing refused to let him leave. Who knew the reason was so absurd!
"Of course, I would have kept you indefinitely! Anyway, back home, you'd just be staying in some broken-down courtyard deep in the mountains. How could that be as comfortable as staying with me?" Luo Tianxing replied nonchalantly.
Uh! Hearing this, Bi Gang couldn't refute it. Indeed, staying here, occasionally drinking with the five Great Ancestors and boasting about the situation in Heavenly Dao City, was far more interesting than staying alone back home.
"Then can you explain to me," Bi Gang asked, voicing his other confusion while looking at Luo Tianxing dressed in tattered clothes and holding a broken bowl, "what's the meaning of this Beggar getup right now?"
He truly couldn't understand why powerhouses of the five Great Ancestors' status would dress themselves up as Beggars!
