Chapter 212

Xu Yang stayed in Qingyang City for two days, and no one came to look for him, so he knew that the matter of killing Ji Jincheng and Han Xing was indeed unknown to anyone, and only then did he return to the Profound Heaven Sect.

"Junior Brother Xu, you finally returned. If you hadn't, I would have gone down the mountain to look for you." Sun Tao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xu Yang hadn't returned for two days, and he had thought Xu Yang had met with trouble in the city.

Xu Yang said: "I had a sudden realization, so I stayed at an inn in the city for two days. Looking at your expression, Senior Brother, has something happened?"

Sun Tao nodded: "Two days ago, Han Xing and Ji Jincheng left the sect and never returned. Someone found signs of a battle at the foot of the mountain and suspects they have been killed. Now the Young Eagle Society is in chaos.

This Profound Heaven Sect is a dignified martial arts sect, yet people are dying every day. You go up and down the mountain every day, so you must be careful. That old dog Xiao Hua really doesn't do human things."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but curse Xiao Hua again.

Dying as soon as one leaves the sect gate—he was truly sweating for Xu Yang.

They had come to the Profound Heaven Sect for more than three months, and more than ten Outer Sect disciples had already died, many of them silently and without a trace, and no one knew who killed them.

This time, even a strong person like Han Xing had died.

If someone like Han Xing had no guarantee of safety, let alone someone like himself who was inferior to Han Xing.

Moreover, Han Xing's death didn't cause any waves; the high-level officials of the Profound Heaven Sect didn't care at all. It was just the members of the Young Eagle Society who went to look for them, and the sect didn't manage it at all.

"Junior Brother, you say we risked our lives to break out in the Martial Arts Examination, only to come to such a place. Is it worth it?"

At this moment, Sun Tao felt some regret.

Coming here to be a beast of burden for others, with no guarantee of safety, and perhaps dying one day—if he had known this, he would have been better off staying in Qingyuan as a master.

With his strength, in Qingyuan County, he wouldn't say he could run rampant, but at least he wouldn't have his life taken without knowing when.

"That's why they have always blocked news about the sect from the outside," Xu Yang said.

Regret was useless, because you didn't know the situation of the Profound Heaven Sect at all; it was only when they were about to reach the Profound Heaven Sect that Li He revealed some of it.

If they had known the Profound Heaven Sect was so cruel, absolutely not so many people would have come.

"Eh... Xu Yang is back. It's great that you're okay."

Just at this moment, Zhao Zhifei, Zhang Yong, and Jiang Ping walked into the courtyard.

Not to mention Zhang Yong, but Jiang Ping and Zhao Zhifei's attitude toward him had changed greatly; having become the leeks of Cao Rong and others, they only then realized how wise Xu Yang's previous choices were.

Xu Yang nodded and responded with a fist salute; he noticed that the expressions of the three were not very good.

"What happened?" Sun Tao said in a deep voice.

If nothing had happened, the three wouldn't have come together.

Jiang Ping's expression was ugly as he said: "Cao Rong and Yun Feng have arranged a mission for us to capture young exotic beasts, and we are about to leave the sect and enter the Yunling Mountain Range."

The Yunling Mountain Range is both a treasure house and a dangerous place.

While nurturing countless treasures, it also has countless powerful exotic beasts. Among the many missions of the Profound Heaven Sect, this kind of mission that requires entering the Yunling Mountain Range is the most dangerous.

Sun Tao's expression changed slightly; the way Cao Rong and Yun Feng were eating was too ugly.

Zhang Yong said: "We are afraid that if we go, we will never return, so we came to ask Senior Brother Sun to help us keep our contribution points. If I don't return, these things will be yours."

As he spoke, he took out a few contribution points and handed them to Sun Tao.

It wasn't much, only five.

Jiang Ping and Zhao Zhifei fumbled on their bodies and also took out a few contribution points and some silver notes and stuffed them to Sun Tao, asking him to help keep them, not wanting to die outside and benefit others.

"Since it's death either way, why not betray the Sharp Wind Hall and fight for a glimmer of life."

Sun Tao's anger surged, his eyes red, without any joy.

In the Wei Yuan Hall, he was a personal disciple of Lin Cheng and had a good relationship with everyone.

The three of Zhang Yong were no different from arranging their affairs after death at this moment, which stirred his anger.

The three were silent for a while; what they were being held by was not just their own lives, but also their families.

The Cao family and the Yun family were both one of the four major families in Qingyuan County; with the two families joining forces, no family in Qingyuan County was a match.

The three left quickly, and Sun Tao could only vent his anger for a while; Yun Feng and Cao Rong dared to be so excessive, naturally because they had the confidence.

Xu Yang returned to his room to cultivate for a while, then went to bed to rest.

In the afternoon, he woke up from the bed, intending to go to the canteen to eat before rushing to Qingyang City.

Just as he reached the entrance of the canteen, he met Qin Ze and Chen Jiang just walking out from inside.

The three were all stunned; they had been in the Profound Heaven Sect for so long, and this was the first time they had met here at the canteen.

Chen Jiang's expression quickly returned to normal, while Qin Ze showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

At the beginning, the alliance was built by him, and he invited Xu Yang to participate, but it was dissolved without notifying Xu Yang. Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still a bit ashamed at this moment.

It was not just shame toward Xu Yang, but also shame for bowing his head to a powerful force; it was as if Xu Yang had seen him kneeling and kowtowing to Xiao Hua, which was indescribably wretched.

"I hope you can understand..." Qin Ze roared in a low voice.

But he found that Xu Yang didn't pay attention to him at all, walking straight past him, as if they didn't know each other.

Qin Ze's expression froze on his face, indescribably awkward.

"Why explain to him? Who told him to provoke someone he couldn't afford to provoke." Chen Jiang snorted coldly.

He drew a line very thoroughly.

Qin Ze, on the other hand, wanted to draw a line so as not to be implicated, but also hoped that Xu Yang could understand their difficulties and not hold a grudge against them, which belonged to both wanting to be and wanting to stand; in fact, it was even more disgusting than Chen Jiang.

Xu Yang didn't want to pay attention to it, and indeed understood the difficulties of several people. Hearing Chen Jiang's words, he looked back and glanced at Chen Jiang coldly, only then walking into the canteen.

Time passed slowly, Xu Yang went out late and returned early. With the five hundred silver taels obtained from Han Xing and Ji Jincheng, he ate exotic beasts every meal, and his cultivation base improved steadily. In his spare time, he would also stroll around Qingyang City to see if he could use money to buy some spiritual medicine for the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

This day, outside the sect gate of the Profound Heaven Sect, a group of people with sharp auras walked over.

Among them, one person was exactly Kong Yu, the third of the Ten Elites of the Outer Sect this year.

He was dressed in the sportswear of an Outer Sect disciple, walking in front with a steady expression. Only Shi Yong walked in front side-by-side with him, and the rest of the members of the Elite Gathering Society all walked behind the two.

"Junior Brother Kong, are you satisfied with the harvest this time?" Shi Yong laughed.

This outing was entirely to collect resources for Kong Yu, the genius. These people were all helpers arranged by the Elite Gathering Society for Kong Yu.

Kong Yu laughed: "Satisfied. The Elite Gathering Society is worthy of being one of the top organizations in the Outer Sect. This membership benefit is even better than I imagined."

It had only been ten days or so, and he had already obtained fifty or sixty contribution points.

If he had honestly done the revenge mission, it would have taken him two or three months to accumulate so many contribution points. How could he not be satisfied?

This handwriting was bigger than he imagined.

Shi Yong laughed and said: "As long as you are satisfied. Junior Brother Kong is such a talent, the Elite Gathering Society naturally has to attach importance to it. It's just that I didn't expect Junior Brother Kong's talent to be better than what is rumored outside. I think you should be ranked first among the Ten Elites."

In a few days, they had also witnessed Kong Yu's terrifying talent; he had only broken through not long ago and could already suppress and kill experts of the same realm, which was very scary.

"Senior Brother Shi is flattering me. How can I compare to Du Chuan and Li Chuyang?" Kong Yu said.

Although he said so, a flash of self-satisfaction still appeared in the bottom of his eyes.

He had heard such words from many people, but Du Chuan and Li Chuyang had too great a background, and he didn't dare to suppress the two, fearing to offend them.

He still needed to join the Elite Gathering Society to obtain protection, while these two didn't even dare to provoke the Elite Gathering Society. They only had to wait for the three-year term to arrive, and they could go straight into the Inner Sect.

"Junior Brother Kong, rest for a few days. After a few days, Senior Brother will come to find you again."
