Chapter 3526 They're all too weak, I'm not interested!
Finally, they've all arrived!
Upon hearing the disciple's report, Ye Junlin lowered his head slightly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Plan, begin the closing in!
"To build relationships?!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Long immediately displayed a furious expression, gritting his teeth fiercely. However, as if under pressure, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and calmly said in a deep voice, "Let them all in!"
Witnessing this scene, the elders of Qingxiao Palace were even more certain of their guess.
At the same time, he chuckled and said, "What a coincidence! Of our nine major powers, apart from the already destroyed Zixiao Palace and Yunxiao Palace, we have all gathered together. This is truly a phenomenon that has never been seen in a thousand years."
"Yes...yes."
Elder Long responded, though he appeared slightly nervous, his eyes constantly darting around.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Elder Long!"
"Elder Long!"
Soon, the elders of the various factions, along with their disciples, entered the reception hall, bowing respectfully and smiling.
"Please sit down, everyone."
Elder Long's face was grim, but he had no choice but to maintain his composure. He raised his hand to the crowd and gestured to his disciples to quickly arrange seating for the guests.
Soon, everyone took their seats.
"Elder Long, I brought some items from our sect with me. Please accept them. It's been a long time since we last met. Elder Long, you still look as radiant as ever, with a healthy glow on your face."
An elder, with a broad smile, spoke to Elder Long while giving a wink to the disciple behind him.
The disciple understood and immediately placed a storage magic item respectfully on the table in Shangxiao Palace.
Elder Long's face was extremely ugly: "If you don't know how to compliment people, then don't compliment them. Do I look like I'm glowing with health?"
The man was immediately embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Elder Long, are you in trouble?"
Elder Long said in a deep voice, "Isn't my greatest difficulty precisely you all?"
The person was embarrassed again.
The others also looked unusual and quickly waved to the disciples behind them.
The disciples understood and placed various gifts on the table.
Elder Long sighed, "Everyone, we've been dealing with each other for so long, don't you know the code of conduct of my Shangxiao Palace?"
"I know you came here to find out the whereabouts of the Blood of the Vermilion Bird of the Burning Heaven."
"But we really don't have any."
"Our conflict with Yunxiao Palace was just a minor one. You can ask the elders of Qingxiao Palace if you don't believe me."
After saying that, Elder Long seemed to give up, closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Everyone looked at each other.
A moment later, they all looked at the elders of Qingxiao Palace.
"Elder of Qingxiao Palace, please speak. You arrived the earliest, so you should know something."
One of the elders looked at the elder of Qingxiao Palace and said in a deep voice.
"Elder Long, do you really want me to recount this?"
The elder of Qingxiao Palace's eyes flickered, and with a quick turn of his gaze, he asked with a smile.
"Go ahead."
Elder Long waved his hand, looking weak and listless.
The elder of Qingxiao Palace immediately nodded and said, "Then I will tell you the truth."
Next, he recounted the entire conversation to everyone present, without holding anything back.
After listening, everyone fell silent.
It's obvious that Elder Long is hiding something, and he's doing it on purpose!
It's definitely the blood of the Vermilion Bird of the Burning Heaven, no doubt about it!
With this in mind, the group exchanged glances again, their gazes finally settling on the elder of Qingxiao Palace.
"Elder of Qingxiao Palace, you arrived the earliest and know the most, why don't you ask and clear up our doubts?"
One of the elders laughed.
The elder of Qingxiao Palace nodded slightly and smiled as well: "Actually, I was just talking to Elder Long, but Elder Long still didn't say what treasure that disciple obtained that made Yunxiao Palace so determined to possess it."
"We're very curious about that."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"You say it."
Elder Long glanced at Ye Junlin, his face full of helplessness.
Ye Junlin politely cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "That is indeed a good treasure, but it is definitely not the blood of the Vermilion Bird of the Burning Heaven. Please do not speculate too much."
"You junior, you never utter a single word of truth."
The elder of Qingxiao Palace sneered: "If it's not the blood of the Vermilion Bird that burns the heavens, why not present the treasure and let us see if Yunxiao Palace is worth the destruction of the sect for it?"
Ye Junlin's expression also paused slightly.
Immediately, he shook his head and said, "No, those are my things after all. What if you all get greedy after seeing them?"
The elder of Qingxiao Palace narrowed his eyes: "So, the value of that treasure is no less than that of the Blood of the Vermilion Bird of the Burning Heaven?"
Ye Junlin's face flashed with a hint of panic at just the right moment, and he quickly denied it, saying, "No, no."
"If you don't have it, why not just take it out?"
The elders of Qingxiao Palace were already looking at them with a hint of menacing gaze.
Ye Junlin simply stopped talking, as if his mouth had been gagged, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Elder Long's eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "This disciple of our Shangxiao Palace is quite attached to his personal belongings, and he's a cultivation fanatic. If someone among his peers can defeat him, he'll probably take out that item; otherwise, he definitely won't."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the elder of Qingxiao Palace's eyes flashed, and he said jokingly, "So, it seems that we'll have to let our disciples have a little sparring session?"
"Everyone, everyone!"
Elder Long's expression changed again, and he hurriedly said, "You came here to build relationships, so why are you sparring and fighting? That's not good."
But the more he acted this way, the more people from other factions wanted to oppose him.
“Sparring isn’t a life-or-death battle; it can still help build relationships.”
The elder of Qingxiao Palace waved his hand and said.
"That's right, it can also help strengthen relationships."
"The future ultimately belongs to the young. Let's see who is stronger between this prized disciple and our disciple. This is also a good thing for them. As the saying goes, no fight, no friendship."
“That makes sense, and all of you have brought your prized disciples, who are willing to receive guidance from Elder Long.”
"..."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, each subtly exchanging glances with their respective disciples.
The disciples were all quite quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to bow to Elder Long.
"I would appreciate Elder Long's guidance after observing the battle."
The disciples all spoke in unison.
This put Elder Long in a difficult position, which was exactly the effect Ye Junlin wanted.
It was you who wanted to fight, not me!
Only after the battle is over can things develop better!
"Alright, but fists and feet have no eyes, and swords are merciless. What if there's any injury or even death..."
Elder Long sighed deeply, looking helpless.
"If you die, it's because you're not skilled enough, so don't blame yourselves."
Before he could finish speaking, the elders interrupted Elder Long in unison.
Elder Long had no choice but to glance at Ye Junlin and say, "Go on, go on, but go easy on him."
"it is good!"
Ye Junlin nodded, stepped forward, and looked sharply at the disciples of the other forces. After scanning them for a few moments, he casually curled the corner of his mouth.
"They're all too weak, I'm not interested."
