Chapter 214

With Su Luoxing's slacking, Qi Qinghe and Yuan Taiji also finally spoke up.

"Brother Qi, your words are a bit serious; it's just a small clan, surely it wouldn't endanger the whole Dongzhou, right?"

Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong glanced at them lightly and spoke in a calm voice.

"Hah, a thousand-mile dike collapses from an ant hole; don't you all understand this principle?"

"Even so, we can't just decide everything based solely on the He family's words."

"What a one-sided claim; just because of a formation that appeared out of nowhere, you think you can accuse my Dao Yi Sect?"

Upon hearing this, both Qi Qinghe and Yuan Taiji felt helpless, knowing it would turn out this way.

If we want to settle this matter, then the earlier objections to the Dao Yi Sect obviously can only be abandoned; otherwise Qi Xiong would definitely keep biting onto the He family matter and not let go.

He gave Su Luoxing another displeased look, but ultimately nodded and said.

"The formation matter is indeed due to Brother Su being too hasty."

"Brother Su, just based on a single formation certainly can't prove anything; this matter is your fault, I think it's better to apologize to Brother Qi and let it go."

"An apology? Hearing this, Su Luoxing glared angrily, 'Why should I apologize?'"

"Especially seeing Qi Xiong's half-smile, Su Luoxing became even angrier, his teeth itching."

"But he also knew that there was no room for turning back; the fact that Qi Qinghe and the others could speak up was already out of self-interest."

"Damn it, he cursed silently; despite being extremely unwilling, Su Luoxing still said to Qi Xiong:"

"'This time I was hasty; I hope Brother Qi will be forgiving.'"

"Upon this, Qi Xiong also decided to let it go, smiling and nodding."

"'Brother Su, you say you, after all you're a sect master, yet you act so rashly; fine, considering our years of friendship, this time I'll be magnanimous and not hold it against you.'"

"A grating teeth-grinding sound rang out; Qi Xiong, one day I'll kill you."

"But Su Luoxing still held back and didn't reply."

"After that came some meaningless talk, then the various sect masters left one after another, and the formation light curtains in the hall gradually disappeared."

"There was also Hong Zun, but in the end Qi Xiong had Hong Zun handle the He family people."

"When only the four of them remained in the hall, that's when the main show began."

"After the series of events, it was finally time to divide the spoils."

"According to the longstanding rule, fifty percent goes to the other various sects, and the remaining fifty percent is to be divided among the four major sects."

"In the hall, Qi Xiong looked at Su Luoxing and the three others with a smile."

"Facing Qi Xiong's gaze, the three's expressions turned somewhat unsightly; in the end, Su Luoxing spoke up."

"'Speak, how much do you want?'"

"'Originally we wanted to take the Dao Yi Sect's share, but now it's clearly failed; not only failed, we likely have to pay a higher price.'"

"'Otherwise, given Qi Xiong's temperament, this certainly wouldn't pass.'"

"'Our Dao Yi Sect contributed the most in this battle; you have no objections, right?'"

"The three remained silent."

"'Fifty percent.'"

"'Impossible.'"

"'The Dao Yi Sect taking half alone, leaving the other half for the three major sects to split, is absolutely impossible; the three rejected it without hesitation.'"

"The four discussed the distribution in the hall, while in North City, Yu Li happened to encounter Elder Shi Song."

"Seeing Shi Song, Yu Li smiled and said."

"'Senior Brother Shi Song.'"

"'Hmph.'"

"Upon hearing that, Shi Song gave a cold snort; in North City, everyone from the four major sects knows that the Dao Yi Sect let the demonic cultivators escape, and now the three major sects are demanding an explanation."

"'One estimates that the Dao Yi Sect will have to suffer heavy losses this time; otherwise, it's impossible to satisfy the three major sects.'"

"'He was already angry inside, so naturally he didn't want to deal with Yu Li.'"

"'Seeing Shi Song's grim face, Yu Li became even happier, especially thinking that just now Hong Zun had wanted to scheme against her, making her unable to hold back her smile, which grew brighter.'"

"'Senior Brother, what's wrong with you? Well, actually speaking, the Dao Yi Sect is already the top sect in Dongzhou; why would you collude with demonic cultivators? As the one in charge of the Dao Yi Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, you should really reflect on this.'"

"'He said it in a sarcastic tone; in response, Shi Song gave Yu Li a cold stare.'"

"'If one wants to add a crime, there's no lack of excuses; Yu Li, don't get too happy too soon—what's true is true, what's false is false; the truth will eventually come to light.'"

"'What you say is right—true can't be false, false can't be true; I also hope the Dao Yi Sect can promptly rein itself in, and as a junior sister I also don't want to see the Dao Yi Sect go astray.'"

"'Hmph.'"

"'Facing Yu Li's smug expression, Shi Song gave a cold snort, turned and left; he would definitely not let this matter go, nor would the Dao Yi Sect.'"

"'Watching Shi Song leave in a huff, Yu Li walked toward the Luo Xia Sect's base with a smile.'"

"'Just as she returned to the base, He Lu came up to meet her.'"

"'Master, the Sect Master has come and was looking for you.'"

"'Oh, did Elder Brother finish his business over there? Looks like the Dao Yi Sect probably suffered a big loss this time.'"

"'Upon hearing that Su Luoxing had returned, Yu Li, in high spirits, brought He Lu to the main hall.'"

"'Just as she entered, she saw Su Luoxing on the main seat, though his complexion looked somewhat off.'"

"'But she didn't think much of it, bowed to Su Luoxing with clasped hands and smiled.'"

"'Congratulations, Senior Brother............'"

"'Congratulations for what?'"

"'Huh??? The words weren't even finished before being cut off, and the tone was off; Yu Li looked at her senior brother in confusion, while Su Luoxing gritted his teeth angrily.'"

"'I'm asking you what you're congratulating me for.'"

Congratulations, senior brother, on a victorious start? Overpowering Qi Xiong?

I ask you what you're happy about?

Senior brother, I.................

What's wrong? Weren't we supposed to have taken care of Dao Yi Sect today? Why are you still so angry?

Yu Li had no idea what had happened, and the next second Su Luoxing launched a head-on scolding.

Idiot, both master and disciple are idiots, incapable of success but more than enough to cause failure.

Don't you realize it's because of you master and disciple that you've ruined my grand plan?

Senior brother, what does this mean?

What do you mean? How dare you ask me? What's going on with your disciple's He family?

He family? Yu Li immediately thought of Hong Zun; could it be because of that old fogey Hong Zun?

Senior brother, could it be Hong Zun...............

You still know Hong Zun, huh? Tell me, what exactly can you master and disciple accomplish? Do you know how much our Luo Xia Sect has sacrificed this time?

Four parts—Dao Yi Sect takes all four parts; we three other families each get two parts, not to mention—because of you two master and disciple, our Luo Xia Sect even has to give one part of the remaining two parts to Qing Yun Sect and Huang Ji Sect. What the hell can you still accomplish?

Things turned out completely different from expectations; in the end, Dao Yi Sect still took the top spot.

As for Luo Xia Sect, not only did they receive little, they also have to give up half as compensation to Qing Yun Sect and Huang Ji Sect.

Su Luoxing didn't want to agree, but there was no choice; right now Luo Xia Sect must join forces with Qing Yun Sect and Huang Ji Sect, otherwise they cannot possibly stand against Dao Yi Sect. Moreover, this incident is indeed Luo Xia Sect's own fault for messing things up.

His gaze stared blankly at He Lu; facing Su Luoxing's stare, He Lu lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Our Luo Xia Sect having a disciple like you is truly like burning high-grade incense—hmph.
