Chapter 300: Chapter 299: We Are Number One

Thousands of warriors led by the Spirit Sword Sect Elder’s Hall awaited on Ceyun Peak.

They had already received the news that the team that went to the Imperial Capital to participate in the Year-end Tail Sacrifice today would return.

Regardless of whether one person returned, or three people did.

In any case, someone would return.

The Second Elder, Ji Bei, Lijian Xing, and Wang Hao all wore worried expressions, gazing at the distant sky, waiting for the appearance of Sky-flying Peng.

The fate of the Spirit Sword Sect disciples in previous years wasn’t too good.

So they were very worried.

On the other hand, the Grand Elder and Su Cang looked exceptionally cheerful.

None of the people who went this time were from the Divine Alliance, so no matter who died, the Divine Alliance would be pleased.

Zhang Lingdao had offended Zhao Mao.

And Lin Bai and Lu Yuan were both Sword Alliance disciples.

No matter who died, it had nothing to do with the Divine Alliance.

Su Cang and the Grand Elder from the Divine Alliance were here to mock.

"Don’t know how many could return this year." The Second Elder said gloomily.

"Given Lin Bai’s cultivation, even if he can’t achieve good results, surviving should not be a problem." Ji Bei reassured in a soft voice.

Seeing everyone on the Sword Alliance side with gloomy faces, the Grand Elder heartily laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha, stop waiting. Lin Bai is definitely dead."

Hearing this, the Second Elder sneered, "By the sound of the Grand Elder, it seems like you’re delighted that our Spirit Sword Sect disciples were killed in Chaoyang Palace, losing all face for our sect."

The Grand Elder was taken aback, quickly defending, "Nonsense, you’re twisting my words, that is not what I meant!"

The Second Elder smiled, "Then what do you mean!"

"I, I, I, I..." The Grand Elder was flustered and lost for words.

Su Cang faintly smiled, "Why would the Grand Elder waste his breath on a group of nobodies? A complete waste of saliva."

"As I have said before, the Spirit Sword Sect is as mighty as a dragon, losing a few insignificant disciples like Lin Bai is of no importance."

Su Cang laughed as he shook his head.

"Humph." The Second Elder snorted coldly.

"They’re coming!"

"They’ve returned."

"Don’t know how many could return?"

"Is it only Elder Chen Gong who returned, or can three to four people all return."

At this moment, all warriors atop Ceyun Peak eagerly awaited.

The Second Elder, Ji Bei, and Lijian Xing all gazed towards the clouds above.

The Grand Elder and Su Cang did the same.

The Sky-flying Peng flapped its wings to approach.

It landed on the square of Ceyun Peak, and three figures got off its back.

The first was the calm-faced Chen Gong.

The second was Lu Yuan, whose arm was severed.

The third was Zhang Lingdao, whose wounds were yet to heal.

No fourth person came down.

"It’s Elder Chen Gong, Brother Lu Yuan, and Zhang Lingdao..."

"Where’s Lin Bai?"

"Lin Bai didn’t return."

"Looks like he won’t return, guess he won’t come back."

Seeing that only three people had returned, the spirits of many of the warriors fell.

But some were pleased because the warriors that went in the past few years were usually twenty or thirty in number, yet only the elder would return.

Seeing Lu Yuan’s severed arm, both the Second Elder and Ji Bei were taken aback, their eyes chilling, and as their gaze swept across everyone, they found no trace of Lin Bai.

"Where’s Lin Bai?"

Fears were beginning to cloud the faces of the Second Elder, Ji Bei, Lijian Xing, and others.

The Grand Elder and Su Cang were delighted not to see Lin Bai’s figure elsewhere and immediately began to laugh loudly. They glanced at each other and seemed even more thrilled.

"Hahaha, looks like Lin Bai died in the Year-end Tail Sacrifice." The Grand Elder laughed heartily.

"Hehe, the Year-end Tail Sacrifice is where the four major sects and military geniuses, along with other talents from the Shenwu Kingdom, compete. Lin Bai, with his so-called cultivation, made a fool of himself by going there," Su Cang said coldly,

"I was not surprised at all by his death."

Su Cang said faintly with a smile.

Chen Gong stepped forward with Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao, coming before the Elder Pavilion, and respectfully raised his fist, saying, "Greetings to the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and all the Elders of the Elder Pavilion."

The Second Elder asked with a gloomy face, "Chen Gong, only the three of you came back? Where is Lin Bai?"

Su Cang laughed joyfully and declared, "Is that even a question? That waste must have disgraced our Spirit Sword Sect at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice and was killed by one of the Four Major Sects."

"Ah, how I regret as Young Sect Master. I should not have sent Lin Bai."

"This Yellow Level First Grade waste, how could he achieve anything great?"

"As the Young Sect Leader, I must reflect on myself."

Su Cang replied with a smile, showing no sign of regret on his face.

Grand Elder added, "Young Sect Leader, you don’t need to blame yourself too much. That Lin Bai was a waste. His death did no great harm."

Su Cang laughed, "But it did tarnish the reputation of our Sect, that’s truly sad."

The Grand Elder and Su Cang spoke, completely ignoring the presence of others.

As Su Cang spoke, the warriors present immediately took a liking to him.

But the Sword Alliance Warriors and Chen Gong had a cold sneer, "Hmph, these two hypocrites. It was you, Su Cang, who repeatedly claimed that Lin Bai was a good genius in the Elder Pavilion."

"It was you, Su Cang, who resolutely recommended Lin Bai to participate in the Year-end Tail Sacrifice."

"It was you, Su Cang, who wanted to send Lin Bai to the Imperial Capital."

"Now you are regretting? Aren’t you ashamed?"

Chen Gong was extremely disappointed in Su Cang. He stood silently aside, watching Su Cang and the Grand Elder perform like a monkey show.

The elders of the Sword Alliance Camp, the Grand Elder, and Ji Bei all wore ugly expressions.

Su Cang sighed lightly, "Rest assured, disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. Once I take control of the Spirit Sword Sect and become the Sect Leader, I will devote myself to cultivating genius disciples for the Spirit Sword Sect. At the very least, within the Chaoyang Palace, we will achieve a top ten performance!"

Chen Gong said expressionlessly, "Is the Young Sect Master finished?"

Su Cang and the Grand Elder nodded with a smile, "We’re done. Elder Chen Gong, you should rest now after your long journey."

Chen Gong calmly said, "Young Sect Master, Grand Elder, once I have announced the achievements of our Spirit Sword Sect in the Year-end Tail Sacrifice, I will naturally go to rest."

Su Cang disdainfully spoke, "What is there to announce? Isn’t it another year as the bottom?"

"Bottom? Haha, that is in the past."

Chen Gong laughed coldly, his heart filled with excitement and pride.

Thinking of Lin Bai, Chen Gong was extremely nervous, even a bit of admiration arose.

Chen Gong cupped his fists, his face serious and sincere, his voice resonated like heavenly music throughout the Spirit Sword Sect, "All Elders of the Spirit Sword Sect, all Inner Disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, all Outer Disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect."

"All warriors who have continuously strived for the glory of the Spirit Sword Sect in the past years!"

"Our Spirit Sword Sect’s ranking in the Chaoyang Palace martial competition this time is... First Place!"

"First Place!"

"First place in the Chaoyang Palace!"

"First Place!"

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he showed an expression of pride and triumph.

"What!"

"Did I hear wrong?"

"Brother, punch me. I think my brain has gone bad, I must be hearing things."

"Is it really the first place..."

"The Spirit Sword Sect is the first place in the Chaoyang Palace! Oh my God, Glory for our Spirit Sword Sect! Power to our Spirit Sword Sect!"

"We are number one!"

"We are number one!"

The crowd boiled over.

The Second Elder anxiously asked, "Chen Gong, is it true what you said?"

Su Cang couldn’t believe it and said, "Chen Gong, stop spouting nonsense. I know all the disciples from the other sects who went to the Year-end Tail Sacrifice, including Yi Han from Canghai Sky Palace and Zhan Feng from the military. Who in the Spirit Sword Sect could have secured the first place?"

Chen Gong looked at Su Cang with disappointment and said, "Young Sect Master, as the Young Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect, the future leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, don’t you think it’s inappropriate to utter such words when a disciple under your command has brought glory to the Sect?"

"As the Young Sect Master, shouldn’t you be cheering for the honor gained by the Sect?"

"As the Young Sect Master, shouldn’t you be proud of us?"

"As the Young Sect Master, how could you say such words?"

Chen Gong spoke with utter disappointment.

"Young Sect Master, I, Chen Gong, guarantee with my life that the Lingjian Sect is indeed the number one in this year’s Chaoyang Palace. If there’s half a falsehood in what I said, I’m willing to be struck by the Five Thunders and punished with a thousand swords!"

"In no more than three days, the Shenwu Kingdom will announce the situation in the Chaoyang Palace. At that time, the news of our Spirit Sword Sect returning to the position of number one in the Chaoyang Palace will spread throughout the Shenwu Kingdom."

Chen Gong spoke with firm determination.

"How is this possible!" Su Cang and the Grand Elder both said in disbelief.
