Chapter 715: Chapter 715: The Evil God Retreats

Faced with Xiao Zheng’s threat, Hua Muyang could only agree to Xiao Zheng’s terms, his heart filled with frustration, yet he had no other choice.

Subsequently, Hua Muyang instructed an elder to proceed to the Hushan Sect’s treasury to retrieve the Elixirs and Cultivation Techniques.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the elder had no choice but to reluctantly go and quickly brought back the items Xiao Zheng had requested.

Xiao Zheng looked them over.

The Dragon Blood Pills were crimson, smooth and flawless, resembling blood-red crystals, sparkling with translucent radiance.

Ten Innate Level Techniques, all written in traditional vertical script, exuded an aura of antiquity, clearly having a long history.

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly, waved his hand, and let Long Qie take these compensations, saying, "Since that’s the case, we will take our leave."

The army of Sky Net, under Xiao Zheng’s command, then retreated and quickly vanished from the sight of everyone at Hushan Sect.

Looking back at the entrance of the mountain gate, the gate had collapsed, the ground littered with horrifying craters resembling the open mouths of monsters, where one could still see shattered bones, flesh, and freely flowing blood.

What a mess!

All the people of Hushan Sect looked as if they had swallowed a dead child, their faces terribly ugly; today was indeed a great loss of face!

It goes without saying, if word of today’s events spread, the reputation of Hushan Sect would be completely ruined.

The esteemed martial arts holy land was actually attacked by a wild powerhouse, which was an utter disgrace.

"Today’s matter must not be spread without permission, do you understand?" Hua Muyang turned around, his gaze fiercely sweeping over all the disciples of Hushan Sect present.

"Yes."

The many disciples of Hushan Sect bowed their heads in acknowledgment, but their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

The way Hua Muyang had acted just now had filled all the disciples of Hushan Sect with immense anger and frustration.

Even if they could not defeat Xiao Zheng, they should have deployed the Mountain Guard Army, even at the cost of using a sheer numbers tactic to eliminate Xiao Zheng!

However, despite all these considerations, they had never expected Hua Muyang to surrender to Xiao Zheng, especially at such a tremendous cost.

Perceiving his disciples’ emotions, Hua Muyang shook his head, sighing inwardly, but there was no other way. Xiao Zheng was too powerful, and continuing the battle would lead to heavy losses.

However, if such sentiments were left to ferment, they might undermine his position as Sect Leader and even if not, it was certainly not a good thing.

Hua Muyang’s eyes flashed sharply as he straightened his body and released a formidable aura, looking directly at the disciples of Hushan Sect, he slowly said, "Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Without waiting for the disciples to reply, Hua Muyang answered for them, "I know there must be dissatisfaction, perhaps even resentment against me."

"After all, our Hushan Sect is a martial arts holy land that has stood in this world for hundreds to thousands of years, never having suffered such humiliation."

"But I acted this way for a reason. Because you are disciples of Hushan Sect, I am willing to explain to you."

"The reason why I chose to negotiate peace with Xiao Zheng was not to compromise completely but to prepare for a major counteroffensive!"

"How could Hushan Sect be humiliated by someone from Sky Net?"

"Earlier, Xiao Zheng came prepared, and we were caught off guard, hence consecutive losses of powerful experts. Continuing to fight was not bravery, but foolishness!"

"To achieve ultimate victory, we must take certain measures which involve loosening Xiao Zheng’s will and consolidating the power of our Hushan Sect. To achieve this, making peace with Xiao Zheng was necessary!"

"Do not underestimate Xiao Zheng as just a wild powerhouse. Everyone witnessed the battle earlier; you should understand the terror of Xiao Zheng."

"This is not a simple enemy!"

"Thus, we must exert our utmost efforts to defeat him!"

The disciples of Hushan Sect and the Mountain Guard Army, who were initially disgruntled with Hua Muyang, felt their eyes light up after hearing this speech. They couldn’t deny that Hua Muyang made a lot of sense, and they began to look forward to that great counterattack.

"Heh heh. Elders, follow me into the Grand Hall to discuss our next strategies. Also, arrange some people to clean up the entrance."

Seeing his speech sway the crowd’s attitude, Hua Muyang chuckled to himself, feeling somewhat gratified.

Then, he summoned the elders to the Grand Hall for discussion.

The elders nodded one after another.

Indeed, it was time to discuss the next steps.

Immediately, under Hua Muyang’s lead, the senior figures of Hushan Sect gathered in the Grand Hall, each taking their seats according to their status.

However, many seats were vacant, such as those for Tie Futu, Sha Luoming, Yun Long, and other injured or killed senior figures.

It had been many years since Hushan Sect faced such a situation.

"Today, the matter we need to discuss is that Heavenly Net Evil God, Xiao Zheng!"

Hua Muyang, sitting in the chief seat, surveyed the many elders and said, "Just now, under our mountain gate, what was said was not a lie. We indeed need to take action to eliminate Xiao Zheng,

otherwise, from now on, Hushan Sect will surely be looked down upon by others, and even our interests will be greatly damaged!"

The elders nodded slightly.

If Hushan Sect didn’t make a statement, then those forces aligned with Hushan Sect would doubt its strength and secretly go against it.

Furthermore, some powerful entities might think Hushan Sect’s strength had weakened and challenge the martial arts holy land status of Hushan Sect!

No matter what, these were situations Hushan Sect could not accept.

So, action must be taken to prevent all of this.

"So, what should we do?"

An elder, with a worried look, said, "Everyone has seen Xiao Zheng’s strength, which is truly terrifying. He’s so young, yet he managed to kill Master Lie Huo, none of us here can match him!"

Another elder chimed in, "I think, to deal with him, we can only invite those seniors who are in seclusion deep within Hushan Sect to take action."

At this suggestion, the entire Grand Hall fell silent.

All eyes flickered.

In fact, these elders, including Sect Leader Hua Muyang, were reluctant to have those seniors in deep seclusion within Hushan Sect come forth.

Those characters, with formidable strength, once they emerged, their status would surpass theirs, and the power within Hushan Sect would shift.

Once the old monsters appeared, they would become mere spectators, no longer part of the equation.
