Chapter 2576 Shameless!

The second update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~

...

Compared to the direction of the Five Great Sects, the elders and significant figures of the Evil Sect and the Demon Sect are currently looking extremely grim...

A total of twenty people entered from the Five Great Sects, and now every single one has returned without fail.

However, the Evil Sect sent in five people, and only Poison Demon Pang Sihai and Evil Sword Shi Qingfeng made it back. Not only were the two slightly weaker disciples of the Evil Sect killed, but even Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun, one of the Evil Sect's Three Heroes, failed to return.

The Demon Sect isn't faring much better, with only two returning, namely South Mountain Blood Demon Hu Wankong and Demon Cloud Blood Sword Jia Siping... The other three disappeared without a trace, including Du Xingwu!

"What on earth happened?"

"Could it be that the people from the Five Great Sects set you up..."

"If that's really the case, I won't let them off easy..."

The elders and significant figures of the Evil Sect and Demon Sect were angrily shouting, their eyes fiercely glaring over at the Five Great Sects' side... The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became sharp, as if a battle could break out at any moment.

"It has nothing to do with them..."

At this moment, Jia Siping spoke up, directly denouncing those significant figures' suspicions, "The disciples of the Five Great Sects were all cultivating in the secret chamber and did not participate in our operations... the reason for such a heavy loss is indeed that it was too dangerous inside!"

Thus, Jia Siping briefly recounted some of the crises encountered in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, particularly mentioning that a beast tide was triggered by two extremely powerful Spiritual Beast Kings inside... Endless numbers of spiritual beasts buried there.

To prove his claim, Jia Siping even pulled out a small bag from his body, filled with spiritual beast inner cores, numbering in the dozens...

"These were picked up casually from the ground after the beast tide passed... If it wasn't so dangerous there, I could have picked up many, many more!"

This bag of inner cores was naturally shared to Jia Siping by Qin Fang, also essential for gaining trust.

On the other side, Poison Demon Pang Sihai said similar words. Jia Siping was instructed by Qin Fang to say this, but Pang Sihai was obviously compelled with no choice... But he had no other options.

Though he had already left the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, and seemingly embraced the freedom of the outside world, Poison Demon Pang Sihai felt he had no guarantee at all... If he dared to speak recklessly, he firmly believed that Qin Fang would not let him off.

Moreover, he personally participated in the killing of Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun...

Although the Evil Sect does not explicitly prohibit infighting, this operation was a collective one where the Evil Emperor had invited all young experts to temporarily put aside their grudges and collaborate on this mission...

If it became known that he defied the orders of the Evil Emperor, Poison Demon Pang Sihai would certainly die a miserable, miserable death, possibly even implicating his master, Old Poison Monster... Although Old Poison Monster's strength is considered the third strongest in the Evil Sect, potentially capable of fighting Evil Spirit Sword Sovereign Shi Songyun, against Emperor Shi Wanxie, there would be no chance!

Since there was no room for choice, Pang Sihai naturally followed the crowd...

Anyway, apart from him, Jia Siping, and Qin Fang, no one else knew what had happened, so it was up to them to spin their tales?

After the recounting by Pang Sihai and Jia Siping, even though the people of the Evil Sect and Demon Sect still looked grim, at least their hostility towards the Five Great Sects diminished significantly... Subsequently, Evil Sword Shi Qingfeng and South Mountain Blood Demon Hu Wankong also described the dangers within the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, indirectly confirming Pang Sihai and Jia Siping's statements.

And very coincidentally, during the outbreak of that beast tide, South Mountain Blood Demon Hu Wankong was actually amongst it... But he was much luckier than those two ill-fated disciples of the Demon Sect, almost using the Passage Jade Token to escape immediately as the danger arrived.

Therefore, he did not know the cause of the beast tide, nor did he see Qin Fang and others collecting bodies there...

"How is the progress of the mission?"

Leaving aside the matter, these significant figures immediately recalled the main business and somewhat urgently inquired.

Evil Sword Shi Qingfeng and South Mountain Blood Demon Hu Wankong both shook their heads with wry smiles, the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm was too vast, and although they were given five days to search, it was too dangerous there, requiring utmost caution at all times, making it impossible to thoroughly search the entire secret realm, how could it be easy to find the location of the Secret Realm Gate?

However, two people were different.

"Elder, I know where the Secret Realm Gate is..."

At this time, Poison Demon Pang Sihai and Demon Cloud Blood Sword Jia Siping expressed with great excitement.

Pang Sihai had seen the location of the Secret Realm Gate with his own eyes, while Jia Siping, although not having seen it, had indeed discovered the location of that valley... And with Qin Fang and Pang Sihai's assistance, even if he hadn't seen it, it was as good as witnessing it personally.

"Really?"

Originally, these elders from the Evil Sect and Demon Sect did not truly take it seriously, considering not finding it would be the norm, discovering it would be a pleasant surprise.

Unexpectedly, it indeed brought them a pleasant surprise... Although only two disciples from each sect walked out of the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, each pair had someone knowing the location of the Secret Realm Gate.

"This is not the place to talk, let's move..."

Fortunately, although they were thrilled, they still remembered this wasn't the place to talk, so they immediately took Pang Sihai and Jia Siping to meet the Supreme Expert behind the scenes...

What kind of benefits Pang Sihai and Jia Siping could obtain from Emperor Xie and Emperor Xue, Qin Fang didn't care anymore... It was only when they were leaving that they exchanged a glance, everything being understood without words.

With this, the grand competition between the Five Sects was considered thoroughly concluded.

Qin Fang became the biggest winner, not only claiming the first prize in the Five Sects Grand Competition, but also gaining endless benefits from the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm...

The Evil Sect and Demon Sect, despite their heavy losses, obtained news of the Secret Realm Gate, which was also considered a major victory for them... Emperor Xie and Emperor Xue originally planned to pay a tremendous cost and hadn't even expected to complete their task this time, but the results were surprisingly exciting for them!

The Five Great Sects, along with the Evil Sect and Demon Sect, parted ways here, each departing...

With this separation, the cooperative relationship among the three parties was completely over, and if they met again, they would revert to their previous hostile state!

Shangri-La Town is the territory of the Five Great Sects. Now that the grand competition was over, they planned to rest briefly here before each returning to their Sect... As for the disciples, they also returned to their own.

Earlier, when those from the Evil Sect and Demon Sect were present, Qin Fang saw his brothers but found it inconvenient to strike up conversation. They exchanged simple glances and then he left with his Sect members.

Having just returned to Shangri-La, back in the Sect's base, Qin Fang was immediately called away by Qing Xu Lao Dao...

In a relatively hidden room, besides Qing Xu Lao Dao, the Sect Supreme Leader, there were other elder-level big figures, including Elder Qingyuan, with whom Qin Fang didn't get along well.

"Qin Fang, what exactly did you obtain in the No.1 Training Chamber?"

Qing Xu Lao Dao asked anxiously.

For so many years, the first-prize treasure seemed to always be the Heaven One True Water, but Qin Fang's surprise earlier undoubtedly indicated he had acquired something different. In the present company, all members of the Kunlun Sect, it was naturally appropriate to disclose.

In fact, Kunlun Sect hadn't won the first prize in the Five Sects Grand Competition for many years. Though all the sects claimed it was Heaven One True Water, they were never certain, thus their urgency.

"It's this..."

Qin Fang hesitated briefly but decided to show some respect to Qing Xu Lao Dao. Although the master-disciple relationship was somewhat convenient, Qing Xu had been quite good to him overall, leaving no reason to conceal.

Buzz~~~

As soon as the Azure Heart appeared, a gentle yet highly potent force instantly released, sweeping away the surrounding impure air.

"Hiss~~~"

Upon seeing the drop of Azure Heart, the elders whose strength hadn't reached the Supreme Realm looked as if they'd been injected with adrenaline, their eyes nearly popping out, even Qing Xu Lao Dao couldn't help but have his breath quicken...

"Is this... the Azure Heart?"

The voice of another speaker even trembled slightly, with excitement and enthusiasm so evident in their tone.

Whoosh~~~

Suddenly, another individual moved, quickly charging toward Qin Fang, reaching out to snatch that drop of Azure Heart.

Slap~~

Qin Fang's expression changed, and with Palm Energy in motion, the person was instantly forced back.

"Qingyuan, what do you intend to do?"

At that moment, the others reacted too, glaring angrily at the person attempting to steal the Azure Heart.

"Such a precious item, I feared Qin Fang might damage it, and wished to personally safeguard it for him..."

Having seen shameless individuals before, none had been this audacious. After being dodged by Qin Fang's palm, Elder Qingyuan looked somewhat embarrassed but managed to squeeze out a smile, shamelessly speaking.

"Am I... that familiar with you?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but scoff, asking in a breezy tone.

The conflict between him and Qingyuan had erupted entirely when he first arrived... Qin Fang had personally crippled Qingyuan's disciple, and the animosity between them was irreconcilable!

Presumably, Qingyuan dreams of dismembering Qin Fang, so how could he show him a friendly face?

Yet, he was utterly shameless, forcibly claiming a close relationship with Qin Fang, showcasing an unbelievable thickness of skin...(To be continued.
