Wei Yuanzhou was not the type of person Bai Wu had in mind.
His attention was entirely on Shen Yi, involving matters of the Sect Master, which he could not afford to take lightly.
While he was astonished by Shen Yi’s formidable Body Refining technique, he quickly collected his thoughts and looked towards the great hall on the opposite mountain.
At this moment, within the Ban Shan Sect main hall, several auras far surpassing those of the Direct Disciples began to stir.
As expected, within the span of two to three breaths.
One figure after another dashed out from the hall, striding across the sky to arrive, all suspended in the heavens.
Roughly counting, there were sixteen Cultivators in total, with faces both old and young, including Elders and Direct Disciples, all at the Baiyu Capital Boundary!
You should know, unless there is some major event, it’s not likely for all the strong practitioners of a sect to be gathered within the sect at once.
This means that the current strength of the Ban Shan Sect might be even greater than what Wei Yuanzhou had previously assessed, possibly more than the combined strength of two of the Seven Sons of Hong within Yuanzhou.
Their appearance immediately demonstrated the true grandeur of a major sect.
At this moment, led by the most senior Elder, they all looked down in unison, their gazes entirely fixed upon Shen Yi.
Wei Yuanzhou suddenly let out a laugh that was hard to understand.
He had considered that there might be Elders or Direct Disciples garrisoned within the hall, but he had not expected so many.
And yet, with so many strong experts present, the Ban Shan Sect still refused to negotiate with them about resisting the Dragon Palace.
Compared to being willing but unable, this deliberate indifference was obviously much harder to swallow.
Of course, even though the other party had put up this show of force.
The few Daozi still didn’t show any change in expression.
After all... the Seven Sons of Hong cannot be divided. In terms of background, a mere Ban Shan Sect truly isn’t much to speak of.
However, what puzzled Wei Yuanzhou was...
These Baiyu Capital Cultivators who appeared one after another had clear anger on their faces as they left the hall.
But now, suspended in the sky, with a few breaths of time, the anger on their faces gradually faded, and instead, as if they had seen some fine material or beautiful jade, their eyes revealed an inexplicable joy.
"Ban Shan Sect’s Great Elder Yang Yunheng, greets all the Daozi of Southern Hong."
The leading old man looked quite aged but was still full of vitality; while he addressed them as Daozi, his gaze never left Shen Yi.
Even Su Hongxiu couldn’t help but frown slightly.
The old man gave her a somewhat dangerous feeling, at least during her time in Southern Hong, she had never felt a similar aura from a Baiyu Capital Cultivator.
Could it be the opened Three Cities, the Dao Soldier of decent quality, plus the powerful Spiritual Physique Technique?
Su Hongxiu composed herself, took a subtle step, and quietly moved to stand behind Shen Yi.
"No need to be nervous."
Yang Yunheng forced a smile, glanced at the two dying figures under Shen Yi’s feet, "Young friend, they have been bested; Ban Shan Sect concedes. Stay a few more days, and we will surely provide you with ample compensation, but for now... may I take them back?"
Upon hearing this word, Shen Yi raised his eyebrows.
He had not intended to kill in the first place, and now there seemed to be an unexpected gain.
He remembered Wei Yuanzhou mentioning that this sect had always been collecting various Heaven and Earth Treasures... I wonder if there is anything that suits the Immortal Sword Body of the Divine Phoenix.
Shen Yi nodded lightly.
His composed demeanor of winning without arrogance, when seen by the people of Ban Shan Sect, made the group instinctively exchange glances.
"Then thank you, young friend."
Yang Yunheng bowed, casually taking the two Direct Disciples back into the great hall.
