Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Like Minds Think Alike

Xie Jiuniang’s grand gesture won the favor of the strong characters present, and then she publicly took out a betting voucher.

She respectfully handed it to Chaoruo.

Chaoruo took it and glanced at it, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly, "Are you sure this is a donation?"

"Yes, exactly two billion." The voucher Xie Jiuniang took out was given to her by Xuanyuan You when she returned, "Xuanyuan told me to hurry and exchange it, saying the amount was too large and he was worried that the bookmaker might abscond."

"You can rest assured about that. Let your eldest senior brother exchange it; no one dares to abscond," Chaoruo immediately called over the eldest disciple, Kuangguan, handed him the voucher, and instructed him to handle this matter.

The strong characters at the side finally realized what the so-called donation was, but again could find no fault with it.

When they say they’ll donate two billion, it is indeed two billion.

It’s just the way they got the money was a bit roundabout, that’s all.

Xie Jiuniang then obediently came to Chaoyan’s side.

The question of interest to everyone was how Xie Jiuniang managed to escape the explosion.

Hence, she took out that earlier set of explanations and, in the end, added wistfully: "As a disciple, I only wanted to leave myself an escape route; I never expected I would truly need it."

After speaking, she sighed softly and continued, "Three days ago, I didn’t even know the sect had someone like Lin Ba. Moreover, I had no recent grievances or past enmities with him; I thought I wouldn’t need it."

Others who heard this had subtle expressions, while only Chaoyan took it seriously.

What else could he do?

His disciple’s words were a tad insincere, but as a master, he still had to support her, right?

Chaoruo waved his hand to dismiss the crowd, "Alright, alright, there’s nothing here for you. You can step down now and take a good rest."

"Yes, this disciple will take her leave."

Xie Jiuniang respectfully bid farewell to the sect’s powerful elders with proper etiquette.

That etiquette, truly above reproach.

Once she had left, everyone’s gaze unanimously fell on Chaoyan.

Someone chuckled, "Chaoyan, your disciple has brought you honor."

"Just average, just a little better than everyone else’s disciples." Chaoyan stated naturally, supremely proud.

Everyone, "..."

Indeed, like master, like disciple.

Chaoruo quickly steered the conversation back on track, discussing what to do next.

The Battle Peak incident seemed over with the fall of three Divinity Transformation experts.

But in reality, it wasn’t over; there was still a long aftermath ahead.

And Kuangguan, after receiving two billion Spirit Stones, made Xie Jiuniang’s generous donation known far and wide, causing yet another sensation among the disciples.

Especially the injured disciples, who originally felt rather unlucky, now found themselves with an unexpected windfall.

"Little Profiteer is truly righteous; indeed worthy of my admiration," a disciple who received compensation said joyfully.

Another commented, "When you think about it, Little Profiteer is a victim too, but she still stood by us; she truly is a good person."

A good person called Little Profiteer?

How come no one finds it strange when these two terms are put together?

Right now, no one cared about this little anomaly, as the injured disciples queued up to receive their Spirit Stones.

Some of the sect’s powerful characters took interest in this as well.

Someone said enviously, "That girl’s fortune is truly abundant, casually doling out two billion Spirit Stones."

"Envious indeed; if you combined all my possessions, they wouldn’t even match up to the fraction of hers."

"That’s because you don’t know the inside story."

"What inside story?"

"I heard Kuangguan exchanged it with Tong Cai at Danfeng using that voucher. In the last betting event, someone bankrolled the bookmaker, and that person was him, hahaha, that old miser must be taking a big hit now."

"You’ve said a lot, all without getting to the point."

"It was that girl who bet a billion, wagering on her own victory, and directly donated the certificate..."

They couldn’t help but feel sour about it.

Even if the certificate was donated, it still represented a capital of a billion.

The person at the center of the envy, Xie Jiuniang, had returned to Zhengyang Peak to enter seclusion again, which in reality, was to utilize the foresight of the Time Leaf to investigate the upcoming situation in the Eastern Region.

The incident that occurred at the Tianxu Sect’s Battle Peak was known throughout the sect on the same day and from there spread in all directions. It was quite interesting, involving the schemes of the Lin Family, the Nangong Family, and the Su Family in the narrative.

"What happened? How could it still not be successful?!"

Lin Ao was greatly shocked upon receiving the news.

The Lin Family had withstood immense pressure, and yet, they had still failed.

It’s worth noting that the one who stepped forward to challenge was from a collateral branch of the Lin Family; the Lin Family simply couldn’t clear themselves of the connection, even with the challenger’s death.

Lin Ao had previously considered finding someone not surnamed Lin to stand in.

The problem was finding the right person.

This so-called suitability wasn’t only about Golden Core strength but mainly about enduring the possession of the Battle Armor. After searching around, Lin Ba, who had undergone body refining, was the most suitable; otherwise, given the astuteness of the Lin Family, why would they directly use someone from their own family?

Wouldn’t that blatantly hand people a handle?

"Elder Ancestor, there is a guest visiting," said an elder of the Lin Family respectfully from outside.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Lin Ao knew who the visitor was, "Please let them in."

Shortly after.

A few people had arrived inside Lin Ao’s house.

A formidable individual from the Su Family announced in grief, "The family has sent word, Elder Su Buhui and Elder Su Buchen have both perished."

"What?!" This revelation shocked Lin Ao and the others.

What had happened?

They all turned to look at the members of the Nangong Family, "The ones who went out at that time were two people from the Su Family and Elder Nangong Jun."

The individual from the Nangong Family’s eyes were red, "Our elder ancestor has also fallen, the Soul Token in our home is shattered, and the Spiritual Soul couldn’t escape either."

It wasn’t just the Nangong Family member; the two people from the Su Family didn’t escape as well.

At that time, the space was sealed, so escape was impossible, and moreover, the adversary didn’t give them any chance to flee for their lives.

What was believed to be a flawless plan ultimately resulted in them losing both their wife and soldiers, and the person who was supposed to die was still lively and well.

Their tenacity in clinging to life made these people so frustrated they gritted their teeth in hatred.

"Could it be that someone leaked the secret?" A powerful figure from the Su Family questioned, eyeing everyone present with a suspicious gaze, "The biggest loss this time has fallen on our Su Family."

"Don’t be ridiculous, no one leaked any information."

"How can you be sure? It’s possible someone wanted to use another’s hand to kill, to swallow our Su Family in the chaos."

"What time is it now? The last thing we need is to start suspecting each other and cause internal strife. Su Family member, stop thinking everyone else is leaking information, our Nangong Jun elder ancestor has also fallen! You don’t think it was my family that leaked it, do you?"

"I haven’t suspected the Nangong Family."

The gaze of the Su Family member fell on the always silent Divinity Transformation from the Mo Family.

The Divinity Transformation from the Mo Family immediately darkened his face and said, "Are you suspecting our Mo Family?"

"Isn’t the Mo Family best at duplicity, playing the savior here and there, while it’s always our family who ends up the villain and yours the hero?" the Su Family strongman mocked, with a Nascent Soul dauntlessly confronting a Divinity Transformation.

Looking darkly at him, the Divinity Transformation from the Mo Family ignored the Su Family member and instead glanced over the Nangong, Wu, and Lin families, "Do you three also believe the Mo Family has betrayed the oath?"

Yes, the oath.

The seven families had once made a pact, even establishing a blood oath of alliance.

Thinking rationally, misplaced anger was more to blame.

Since everyone had their share of dirt, only the Mo Family seemed clean.

Had they provoked the wrath of the others?
