Chapter 757 - 857: If You’re Not Convinced, Step Up
The crowd watched the departing figure of Ye Tianfan, and to say they weren't affected at all would be impossible.
"Aren't there still so many monsters? Why is he leaving already?"
"Exactly, with so many monsters around, he could just deal with them easily!"
"This is too arrogant, leaving when the battle isn't even over!"
Some people saw Ye Tianfan swagger away and started to make snide remarks!
Others furrowed their brows at these comments but chose not to say anything.
"Just shut up! Do you even see how many monsters he's taken down compared to you?" Someone couldn't stand it and spoke up.
"What the hell are you to lecture me!" retorted the snide person, indignant on the spot!
"Heh! What am I? Consider me your superior. Your mouth runs pretty fast. If you've got the guts, step up! If you've taken down more monsters than that brother, only then you're qualified to speak!"
"Then watch as your superior takes out a few of these trash monsters, easy peasy!" said the snide person before charging towards the monsters.
Then everyone watched as this snide person battled evenly with one monster, but when another monster joined the fray, he was killed!
"..."
Seeing this scene, everyone was speechless but hurriedly rushed forward to see if they could save that person. After all, even with his foul mouth, he was still one of their people, so they tried to see if there was any chance of saving him.
Even though two-thirds of his body had been bitten off by the monsters, there might still be hope, right!
Then a chaotic battle ensued. Going one-on-one, the righteous disciples could hold their ground, but when it turned into a numbers game, it meant certain death.
Thus, both sides engaged in an intense battle.
The sect leaders, including Master of Taichu, believed that although they could quickly dispatch these monsters, they still needed to let their disciples gain experience through practice.
So they set a time for them to battle the monsters for one hour; if anyone didn't want to continue fighting, they could return to Taichu Peak. Those who wished to keep fighting could continue, but after two hours, they all had to return so that the righteous sect leaders could clean up and eliminate all the monsters!
Although these sect leaders knew that all these monsters were made from ordinary people, and they would continue to create new monsters from other people once these were killed.
But there was no other way. After all, if these monsters weren't eliminated, they would keep attacking the Taichu Sect relentlessly, using whatever they could to attack as long as they could move.
At night, the sect leaders took out all the monsters, leaving the disciples to clean up the aftermath!
Meanwhile, the sect leaders were in Taichu Hall discussing matters.
Even the Chief Elder wasn't qualified to attend this meeting!
"We can't keep being passive! We need to take the initiative!" Master Qingyun of the Celestial Cloud Sect spoke up!
"Exactly, we're always passively accepting wars, so many disciples have died, and we're not getting any fresh blood. My disciples are nearly all dead!" Chuan Lazi, the sect leader of the Moonless Sect, continued.
"No matter what, in the next war, I won't have my disciples participate. I only have seventeen left now!" Bag Master from the Celestial Cloud Sect said miserably.
"Isn't it true your Celestial Cloud Sect only had twenty-one originally?" Husky, the leader of the Hasi Sect, said. "Talking about numbers, we brought nearly a thousand, but now? Now we have only a little over a hundred left! Talking about pitiful, who is more pitiful than us from the Hasi Sect?"
"Oh, please! Nearly a thousand? Five hundred is close to a thousand?" Countered King of Heaven from the Overlord Sect!
"Rounds up to a thousand, doesn't it?" Husky said weakly.
"And you have the face to say that?" King of Heaven said!
"That's still better than your Overlord Sect! Three disciples, and they're all gone. You join battles just to take up resources!" Husky retorted!
"Alright, we're not here to argue!" interrupted Master of Taichu. If he didn't interrupt, they could argue until daylight, as everyone in the cultivation world knew they disagreed with each other.
The reason for their discord was a mystery, but it didn't stop people from watching.
However, the current setting was unsuitable for arguments, given there was still a significant enemy. They were here to discuss taking proactive action, not to listen to them bicker!
"Hmph!" Both sides snorted coldly and turned their heads away!
"Moving forward, we can't keep taking hits, but if we go on the offensive, we have no idea where those monsters originate. In other words, even if we want to act, we can't find where they are. So, how do we take the initiative?" asked Master of Taichu to everyone!
In truth, Master of Taichu had the Guantian Mirror, capable of discovering their locations as long as they remained within the cultivation world.
But the Guantian Mirror couldn't reveal where the ultimate monsters were because, when Master of Taichu used it earlier, he only saw the organizations, not the ultimate monsters!
Perhaps it was because some hidden rules existed around the ultimate monster; otherwise, it would be easy with the Guantian Mirror!
Of course, if Master of Taichu could harness a bit of the Power of Rules, he would be able to observe the ultimate monster.
However, Master of Taichu hadn't mastered the Power of Rules, and even though he was just a thin veil away from advancing to the Tai Chu realm, that little barrier was tougher than anything. Failing to break it meant he would remain forever at the Ten Directions level, unable to enter the Tai Chu realm no matter how close he was!
