Chapter 516 - 511 Deputy Sect Master Selection
"These fools, the Evil Dragon Jade is a Holy Object of our clan, how could it be so easily subdued?"
In the darkness, a shadow let out a cackling laugh, but the black robe was so voluminous that the true face of the shadow could not be seen.
"The Evil Dragon Jade, falling into my hands, is indeed returning to its rightful owner... Those humans, though they struggled in vain, have delivered me a great gift."
After toying with the Evil Dragon Jade for a while, the shadow pocketed it and then eerily vanished on the spot.
Outside the great hall, silence returned once again.
...
After leaving the Evil Dragon Temple, Ye Xuan and his companions returned to the Xuantian Sect. They were all cultivating in the back mountains, digesting the gains from their journey.
Apart from Ye Xuan, Xue Lingzi, Fei Yue, and others had significant gains. Ouyang Tie and Leng Wusheng also had some gains. Moreover, having undergone this life-and-death ordeal had greatly benefitted their mental growth. Although their cultivation had not substantially advanced, this enhancement in their temperament was not something that could be seen immediately, but was an inner sublimation.
After they left, no one was aware of the shadow’s appearance or who ultimately ended up with the Evil Dragon Jade—that was clearly none of their concern.
Upon returning to the Xuantian Sect, the atmosphere within the Inner Sect had become somewhat oppressive. Both the Gentleman Sect and the Crown Prince Party had lost a large number of members in the Evil Dragon Temple, with only a few escaping, striking a severe blow to both factions.
After all, those who ventured into the Evil Dragon Temple were essentially the elite disciples of the Inner Sect. Most of the losses were among these individuals, who were not easily replaced since the Xuantian Sect recruited only a few Inner Sect disciples each year.
