80: Chapter 80 is truly audacious.
"What? There's an Alliance reward too?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Disciples on the deck erupted into a commotion, their faces beaming with joy.
Seeing the Disciples' high spirits, the middle-aged Elder raised his hand in a pressing motion. Once the noise died down slightly, he spoke again, dropping a bombshell.
"It is said that the top prize for this Alliance reward is a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact!"
"A Heaven Rank Magical Artifact?!"
"My heavens! Isn't that a treasure that only an Immortal Master at the Golden Core stage is worthy of possessing?"
The deck instantly exploded into an uproar!
In the past, when participating in such Alliance missions, although there were Alliance rewards, their Qingyun Sect had always been a mere participant, never having won anything.
But this time, starting off with a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact, the excitement was immense!
Many people secretly clenched their fists, determined to seize the opportunity this time!
Seeing that the atmosphere had been built up enough, the middle-aged man raised his voice again: "If you want to get the reward, all of you had better prepare well!"
"After we Elders go to discuss matters, we will come back to assign you tasks!"
"Yes!"
Ten thousand Disciples cupped their fists in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
The old man in green robes at the head nodded with satisfaction, then tapped his feet lightly. Accompanied by the eight Elders behind him, they transformed into several streaks of light and shot toward the open-air plaza at the top of the mountain.
Meanwhile, Chun Xiaobai, standing in the crowd, watched the nine departing Elders, his eyes glowing red.
"These old geezers are all emitting an Aura of wealth so green it's turning black!"
"This means they are all carrying heavy treasures on them!"
"Unfortunately... my strength doesn't allow for it."
Fang Yuan, standing nearby, noticed the excitement in Chun Xiaobai's eyes and immediately said, "Great King, we should prepare too."
"Prepare my foot!" Chun Xiaobai glanced at him. Did he really think I came here to purge demons and earn rewards?
This Heaven Rank Magic Treasure sounds nice, but it's just the carrot dangling in front of a donkey, leading cannon-fodder Disciples like them to risk their lives. Anyone who believes this is a fool!
Because even if a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact were obtained, it would never fall into the hands of Outer Sect Disciples like them.
Chun Xiaobai glanced at the open-air plaza on the mountain peak, then withdrew his gaze. He pulled Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner aside and pointed his chin toward the direction the Elders had left.
"Do you recognize those Elders?"
Fang Yuan spoke up: "I have heard of the leading Elder, but I don't recognize the others."
"That Elder is a core Elder of our Inner Sect named Lu Qingshan, and he is the overall leader for our Qingyun Sect's demon purging this time."
"I heard from those Inner Sect Senior Brothers that this Elder Lu is a well-known nice guy in the Inner Sect. He is generous and has over three hundred Personal Disciples. Whenever any of his Disciples show promise, they take the initiative to honor him, so he has extremely high prestige in the Sect."
"No wonder he's so green..." Chun Xiaobai muttered.
Afterward, he scanned the deck and saw Wu Liang and his group fawning over a few Inner Sect Senior Brothers, their flattering faces almost pressing against the others' shoes.
"Second-in-Command, go over and ask Wu Liang and the others whether they are acting with us or hanging out with those guys."
"Yes!" Fang Yuan immediately cupped his fists in agreement.
Fang Yuan immediately ran over eagerly.
Under the unfriendly gazes of those Inner Sect Disciples, he forced his way through the crowd, pulled Wu Liang aside, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Wu Liang subconsciously glanced at Chun Xiaobai, who was standing alone in the distance, a flash of hesitation appearing in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that his ability to get to know these Inner Sect Senior Brothers was ultimately thanks to Chun Xiaobai. If Chun Xiaobai hadn't brought them into the cabin, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to speak to these Senior Brothers.
Thinking of this, he was about to nod in agreement, but his Dao Companion Lin Yue suddenly gave him a coquettish glance and secretly tugged at the corner of her clothes.
The head that Wu Liang was about to nod instantly turned into a shake.
He squeezed out an apologetic look on his face: "Um... Senior Brother Fang, I've already agreed with these Senior Brothers to team up with them later."
Fang Yuan's eyebrows immediately shot up, and his face turned dark instantly.
Good for you, Wu Liang. The Great King kindly brought you in, and you motherf*cker turn around and stab us in the back?
However, he ultimately did not lash out on the spot.
Fang Yuan muttered a sentence, then turned and returned to Chun Xiaobai's side, saying indignantly: "Great King, don't pay attention to that traitor; he has defected to that group of Inner Sect Disciples!"
Chun Xiaobai's face turned dark on the spot.
"Damn you, how dare you betray me?"
His Black Wind Stronghold had always valued loyalty. Let alone traitors, they didn't even have anyone with divided loyalties.
Now, it was great; just after coming down the mountain and entering the Sect, someone had poached his people. Where was he supposed to put his face as a Great King?
Chun Xiaobai didn't say another word. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, pushed aside the surrounding crowd, grabbed Wu Liang by the collar, and roared.
"What the hell did you just say? Say it to This Great King again!"
"I... I..." Wu Liang trembled from his rough movements.
Lin Yue, who was beside him, was also scared pale. She shrieked and hid behind those Inner Sect Disciples.
"What are you doing?" A cold-faced Inner Sect Disciple immediately stepped forward, glaring at Chun Xiaobai.
Chun Xiaobai turned his head and scanned him up and down. His face turned even darker: "Where the hell are you from? You actually dare to poach This Great King's people?"
"You!" Hearing this tone, the Disciple was immediately enraged.
The team he had just assembled behind him also surrounded them instantly. Looking at Chun Xiaobai, this Outer Sect Disciple, their eyes held not anger, but a trace of mockery.
Truly audacious!
He actually dared to pick a fight with an Inner Sect Disciple!
Li Xuanfeng and the others also walked over silently. Seeing Chun Xiaobai getting angry over this matter, they all stood there, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Chun Xiaobai looked at the aggressive group in front of him, but there was not a trace of fear on his face.
Anyway, he was already here; at worst, he would beat them up and then jump off the Flying Vessel to leave the Sect!
Heaven and earth are vast, but I am the greatest!
Just at this tense moment, a Disciple hurried over to the cold-faced Senior Brother's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the Senior Brother was shocked: "The Sect Leader's son? And he's having an affair with Peak Master Yun Huoyue?"
His gaze was like lightning as he shot it toward Wu Liang. After a few seconds of silence, the anger on his face suddenly vanished, and the corner of his mouth curled up as he smiled at Chun Xiaobai.
"Junior Brother Chun! I'm sorry, it's a misunderstanding, this is purely a misunderstanding! I was deceived by these guys!"
As he said this, he raised his hand to slap Wu Liang across the face!
However, before his slap could land, his wrist was tightly gripped by a large hand like an iron pincer.
"What the hell do you want to do? You dare to hit my people?" Chun Xiaobai stared at him coldly.
The Inner Sect Disciple's expression changed. He tried hard to pull his hand back, but discovered that his wrist seemed to be welded to the other's hand; no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge.
