Chapter 588: Chapter 61: Isn’t it bad to make everyone wait together? [Seeking monthly ticket!] _1

While Shu Mountain was rejoicing, many were under shadowy clouds.

Returning to the camp of Thunder Fortress, Du Wuhen, Wei Tiandi, and Deng Yixiao felt somewhat guilty looking at Huang Hanshan’s stern face.

As the most promising generation, they didn’t accomplish their mission of advancing Thunder Fortress into the Nine Heavens and stopped in the second round. Their guilt was indescribable.

But the usually severe Huang Hanshan, unexpectedly, didn’t reproach their failure at all. He just softly said, "You’ve worked hard."

"Master..." Du Wuhen seemed to want to say something.

"Victory and defeat are common in warfare, and you will encounter them later in life," Huang Hanshan interrupted him, shaking his head, "I hope you guys learn to cope with it from this failure."

The eyes of the three disciples gradually became firm, nodding heavily, "Yes! Disciples understand!"

After the three of them left, Huang Hanshan turned his attention to Huang Ling’er behind him, suddenly showing a flattering smile, "Ling’er ah ..."

"Running away from home is common for me, and it will definitely still happen in the future," Huang Ling’er stiffened her face, "I hope you don’t make it known to the public like this next time, it’s embarrassingly."

"Well, okay, Dad knows." Huang Hanshan laughed, "Let’s stay home happily and not leave anymore."

"See how you behave." Huang Ling’er snorted then said, "After this Immortal Gate Grand Assembly ends, I want to retreat and practice for a while, so I won’t be leaving again in a short period."

Having said that, her gaze glanced in the direction of Penglai.

The young lady was always arrogant about her outstanding talent. Even if she didn’t work hard in cultivation, her level of cultivation was quite good. But when she came to the stage of the Immortal Gate Grand Assembly, she realized that her small pride was vulnerable.

Although she didn’t say it out loud, as Huang Hanshan’s daughter, she was actually very tough in her bones. The sense of defeat she felt this time was even stronger than the three core disciples.

Compared with Thunder Fortress, the atmosphere on the side of Taotie City was even more oppressive.

Possibly because one family has a son and the other a daughter.

Huyan Bin stood silently in front of his father for a long time without speaking.

Huyan Dong also had a gloomy face and was silent for a long time before saying, "Do you know where you fall short compared to Chu Liang?"

Huyan Bin was thinking, but he couldn’t think of anything to say.

Too many things...

"Both of you have the best resources, but the most crucial thing in a cultivator is their cultivation," Huyan Dong continued, "I can provide you resources, but the cultivation he has could not possibly have been obtained from nothing."

"I will intensify my cultivation when I return," Huyan Bin said.

Thunder Fortress and Taotie City had no grudges with Shu Mountain. They only stood against Shu Mountain because they wanted to seize the seats of the Nine Heavens Immortal Gate. But the team from Fuyao Country had old grudges with Shu Mountain, so this kind of failure was even more unbearable.

The four disciples, Hu Sanlang and others, fell directly on their knees in front of Han Lingshuang, saying loudly, "Master! We failed your trust!"

"Get up quickly!" Han Lingshuang hurriedly helped them up and then said, "You have done your best. It’s not your fault."

"Damn it, we still lost to the evil Shushan people in the end." Hu Sanlang gritted his teeth with his face full of powerless anger.

"Perhaps this is our destiny."

Thinking of her efforts over the years, Han Lingshuang also felt a sense of defeat.

She turned back and looked at Empress Feng again.

She noticed that the female demon was approaching her disciples and happened to pass by her. At this time, she looked over and made eye contact with Empress Feng.

"Hey!" After making eye contact with her, Empress Feng suddenly got close, looked cold and said, "Woman, I’ve noticed you’ve been sneaking glances at me several times. You wouldn’t..."

Looking at this familiar face, Han Lingshuang’s heart jumped into her throat. The long-lost fear filled her heart again. Would this old enemy find out that she has been plotting revenge all these years and eradicate her?

Then she heard Empress Feng laughed and said, "You wouldn’t be secretly in love with me, right? Actually, we might as well get to know each other. Looking at your age, you might even have met me before. What’s your name and where do you live?"

...

Yang Shenlong was lost in thought as he looked in the direction of the Shushan people.

Half a moment later, he turned back to find that Xi Miaoxian and Yang Yuhu were both waiting for him, but Qi Lin’er had disappeared.

"His strength is still not as strong as yours, he might have used some special means..." Xi Miaoxian said.

Yang Shenlong shook his head, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further, then said, "I owe this victory to the two of you."

Yang Yuhu and Xi Miaoxian were slightly embarrassed.

At the time, they’d been so intimidated by Chu Liang’s heroic performance that they hadn’t dared to make a move. Only later did they realize that Chu Liang had nearly lost his ability to act after his battle with Yang Shenlong.

If they had acted then, they might have had a chance to take Chu Liang down directly.

But who would dare to gamble on that at the time?

Now, Yang Shenlong didn’t blame them at all, but rather recognized their contributions, putting them at ease.

Especially Xi Miaoxian, as she came from Ying State Fairy Island, one of the Penglai Three Islands, and wasn’t under the same command as the two brothers from Penglai Island. Penglai Upper Sect was filled with talented individuals, and Ying State Island didn’t always have the opportunity to send people to compete in the Immortal Sect Convention. If she didn’t perform well, it could affect those who followed.

"Young Master!" Yang Shenlong’s Five Mountain Slaves crowded around him, forming a circle.

The elder-looking Mount Hua’s Slave stroked his beard and pondered, "The method that the Shushan disciple used to defeat the Young Master seems to involve the use of a strong elixir that overdraws cultivation and vitality. Normally, it should be considered banned. But Immortal Jiuyi didn’t object, indicating he and Shushan may have some kind of alliance... But such things would sever meridians after use. He could use it in the Void Realm, but absolutely wouldn’t dare to outside. You don’t need to worry about the battle in the Imperial City."

"If I lost, then I lost." Yang Shenlong said indifferently before leading everyone away.

His calm demeanor concealed his thoughts and emotions.

As Mount Hua’s Slave said, Chu Liang certainly wouldn’t use the Whale Swallowing Endless Pills outside the Void Realm. Regardless of whether it’s worth consuming a pill that could ruin one’s meridians for the Immortal Sect Convention, he did not have any in his hands now.

The golden mark obtained in the Void Realm, and the rewards exchanged for it, only exist in the Void Realm.

After returning to reality, all the consumables he used in the Void Realm were still there, except for the elixir, which disappeared.

Though purchasing these resources was costly, if Shushan made it to the top ten this time, all costs could be covered, and they could even make a profit.

Moreover, these resources could be sold back at Red Cotton Peak. This was the advantage of having a store, otherwise, if bought from a dishonest shop and resold, the recovery price would definitely drop significantly.

Chu Liang used half of his funds to bet on Shushan’s advancement, turning a nice little profit. Now, his wealth was unmatched except by giants like Taotie City and Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

When considering personal assets, it’d be hard to think of a third person, apart from the Emperor of the Yu Dynasty and Huyan Dong, who could compare to him.

Of course, in the Immortal Cultivation World, wealth is not the most crucial; cultivation is always the most important thing.

If he didn’t have Shushan to rely on, Chu Liang’s wealth could become someone else’s overnight.

Although this battle with Penglai in the Void Realm could be considered a great victory, once back in reality, Yang Shenlong would remain an unbeatable strong opponent.

How to deal with the upcoming battle in the Imperial City is indeed a significant problem.

But Chu Liang didn’t want to think about those things at the moment.

In Jiang Yuebai’s embrace, he felt as if those things were far behind him. After many days of fighting, it was indeed time to relax.

Just as he opened his arms to embrace Jiang Yuebai in return, he heard a cough.

"Ahem!"

Wang Xuanling’s old face appeared in Chu Liang’s sight, "I don’t want to disturb you both, but the teams moving onto the Imperial City Competition are all heading over there right now..."

"Can’t keep everyone waiting, can we?"
