133: Chapter 133 The entire cave was packed to the brim.

Chun Xiaobai directly took out a map he had already drawn earlier and handed it to Fang Yuan and Xiao Zhang, ordering them to go and bring back all the hostages he had previously stored in the Immortal Caves along the way.

Those people added up to over a thousand individuals.

The two didn't dare delay. They immediately piloted the Battle Puppets, transforming into a straight streak as they shot off.

The speed of the Battle Puppets was extremely fast. In just three hours, they had traversed several thousand li and transported all the hostages back.

For a time, the entire cave was stuffed full.

With no other choice, Chun Xiaobai had to order Xiao Zhang to open up another Immortal Cave to imprison those female Disciples separately.

As for these men, they just had to squeeze together shoulder to shoulder, back to back where they were.

After preparing all of this, Chun Xiaobai then summoned Fang Yuan and Xiao Zhang to hold a small meeting.

After hearing Chun Xiaobai's plan, the faces of both Fang Yuan and Xiao Zhang turned pale.

"G-g-great... Great King, y-you... you want us to act as messengers and deliver these image-recording talismans?"

"That's right, is there a problem?" Chun Xiaobai retorted.

"D-delivering them isn't the problem, b-but... but I'm worried we won't come back!"

The two of them knew exactly what was recorded inside those image-recording talismans. It was all stuff that would offend the big shots of the other Sects to the death, with all kinds of pleas for mercy and insults recorded.

Moreover, these despicable deeds were done by their own hands.

Even they couldn't help but want to take action upon hearing it. If those hot-tempered Elders saw it, wouldn't they immediately slap these two messengers to death on the spot to vent their anger?

"Are you stupid? Can't you hire other people to deliver them?" Chun Xiaobai scolded angrily.

The two were stunned for a moment, then expressions of sudden realization appeared on their faces.

"The Great King is still the smartest!"

Chun Xiaobai's old face twitched. He thought to himself, *Are these two guys just too damn stupid?*

Meanwhile, Bai Jiner stood to the side, watching these two who relied on the Great King for everything, and her heart ached even more for Chun Xiaobai.

"These two are pure good-for-nothings!"

...

At the same time, outside Wanling Mountain, the skies to the north and south were filled with Flying Vessels of various Sects.

On the southern side, representatives of the Righteous Path Hundred Sect Alliance were all gathered together, looking at the battle reports continuously sent up by their Disciples.

With each battle report they read, their faces darkened a shade.

Because not a single one was good news!

Either a certain Sect's Core Disciple had been humiliated to death by the Tiansha Valley side.

Or their own Core Disciple had knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Even worse, entire teams were wiped out as complete units. Not a single survivor was left.

Looking at these battle reports recording such shameful humiliations, the Elders present were all furious and enraged.

One Elder from a certain Sect even coughed up a mouthful of old blood on the spot from sheer anger. The surrounding Elders gathered around to administer first aid for a long time before they managed to smooth out his Qi.

On the northern side, aboard the Tiansha Valley's Flying Vessels, it was all laughter and merriment.

A tall and burly Grand Elder with a face full of white beard, Zheng Tianyuan, was holding up battle reports from the "Dragon and Tiger Ranking" submitted by Disciples, laughing heartily.

"Is this all? Is this all?! Who else?!"

"What bullshit Righteous Alliance, a reputation built on nothing! If they weren't banding together, we would have wiped them all out long ago!"

"Right, right, right!" The other Elders were also all smiles and laughter. "A bunch of hypocrites, the Disciples they teach are all the same worthless stuff!"

"Now, let's see what face they have left to bargain with our Tiansha Valley!"

Right at that moment.

Several Disciples tremblingly walked in, huddled close to a duty Elder's ear, and whispered a few words.

The smile on that duty Elder's face stiffened abruptly: "What? Fifteen Senior Brothers are missing?"

That Disciple nodded repeatedly.

Hearing this, the other Elders all looked over.

Tiansha Valley's Grand Elder Zheng Tianyuan waved a big hand, saying with complete nonchalance.

"No big deal, no big deal!"

"I know those brats. They're probably eighty percent busy tying up those Righteous Alliance female Disciples somewhere, having a good time!"

"No need to worry, everyone. Just wait."

However, before his words had fully faded, another Disciple came running over tremblingly, handing over an image-recording stone.

"Give it here!" Grand Elder Zheng Tianyuan snatched that image-recording stone over.

As soon as he opened it, the festive smile on his face instantly froze, then turned from red to green, finally becoming darker than the bottom of a pot.

*Crack!*

He directly crushed that image-recording stone into powder.

"Outrageous! Outrageous! Which peak's Disciple is Li Cheng?!"

"Uh!"

Mentioning Li Cheng's name, one of the white-haired old men stiffened and quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands in salute.

"Grand Elder, that Li Cheng is my Personal Disciple... He, what happened to him?"

"Did he get caught insulting those Righteous Path female Disciples?"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Tianyuan was so angry his beard and eyebrows seemed to bristle. "He... he he..."

He stammered for a long time, truly unable to utter the words. The scene was too shameful!

He struggled for a long time before squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "He actually knelt on the ground begging for mercy!"

"Facing the image-recording stone, he praised the Righteous Alliance to the heavens, saying how utterly disgusting our Tiansha Valley is!"

"Finally, he said we must pay a ransom of two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If we don't pay to redeem him, he'll spill all the shameful deeds Tiansha Valley has done over the years!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression turned serious, but then he immediately shook his head: "False news! This is absolutely false news!"

"I know my Disciple's temperament best. He has always preferred death to surrender, with a will as strong as steel. How could he possibly utter such shameful words?"

Hearing this, Zheng Tianyuan's face darkened several more shades.

Only then did he remember that he himself had crushed that image-recording stone. It seemed there was no way to explain.

If there's no way to explain, then don't explain!

Let him die, for all I care!

Anyway, Tiansha Valley has five hundred thousand Disciples. One more or one less makes no difference!

The old man had wanted to hear him continue, but seeing him fall silent again, he became even more convinced it must be a frame-up. He still trusted his Disciple more.

...

On the southern side, the Righteous Alliance had already received over a thousand reports of crushing defeats. The Elders had gradually adapted from their initial furious exasperation.

They had even developed a resistance, barely getting angry anymore looking at those battle reports.

Anyway, there were only the final two days left.

Endure these two days, and this humiliating trial would be over.

However, just as they were thinking of going back and slacking off, several Disciples actually came running over gleefully, carrying an image-recording stone.

"Elders! Elders! Senior Brother Wang isn't dead! We just received his distress image-recording stone!"

"image-recording stone?"

One of the old men suspiciously took the image-recording stone, opened it, and looked. His face, which had just regained its color, abruptly darkened, then turned deathly pale.

*Pfft!* A mouthful of old blood sprayed out.

"Outrageous! Outrageous! This Tiansha Valley goes too far!"
