Ning Zhongze hesitated, then finally whispered, "Never mind, I'll go look again."
Just as he was about to leave, Linghu Chong rushed into the hall, panting: "Master and Mistress! A large force has gathered at the foot of the mountain, and we disciples can hardly hold them off!"
Yue Buqun's expression changed slightly, but remembering the news he had received a few days ago, he regained his composure. He said in a deep voice, "What's the panic! Come with me to receive the guests."
After saying that, he strode out, with Ning Zhongze and Linghu Chong following closely behind.
At the mountain gate, Yue Buqun cupped his hands and said, "I have failed to greet you properly; I hope you will all forgive me."
His gaze swept over the dense crowd, a smile on his face.
The leader shouted sternly, "Forget the formalities! We're here today only for the Youth-Preserving Pill!"
"If you don't know what's good for you today, don't blame me for making Mount Hua barren!"
Dongfang Bubai gave a cold snort, his words filled with killing intent.
The crowd behind her shouted and yelled aggressively.
"The Youth-Preserving Pill is a rare treasure, how dare your Huashan Sect possess it? Hand it over immediately!"
"If you don't know what's good for you, we'll massacre Mount Hua today!"
"Hand over the elixir and you may live; otherwise, your entire family will be slaughtered!"
Threatening voices rose and fell, and the atmosphere in the arena immediately became tense. The Huashan disciples all glared angrily, and even the martial artists watching couldn't help but look solemn.
"Hahaha--"
Yue Buqun suddenly looked up and burst into laughter, his laughter full of sarcasm.
Seeing Dongfang Bubai's gloomy expression, he slowly fell silent and said coldly:
"The Youth-Preserving Pill is indeed in my daughter's hands."
"But today, I, Yue, will lay my words out here!"
"If you have the guts, go ahead and try!"
"However, you will bear the consequences!"
His gaze was sharp as a sword, sweeping over everyone one by one, his expression calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.
The crowd's momentum faltered, and they all frowned, secretly wondering where his confidence came from.
"What? Are you scared?"
"With such meager courage, you dare to act recklessly on Mount Hua?"
“You’re simply overestimating your own abilities!”
Seeing the hesitation of the crowd, Yue Buqun sneered, his words full of sarcasm.
Chapter 77 Huashan Disciples
He felt incredibly happy, and a sense of pride welled up within him.
Beside him, Ning Zhongze, Linghu Chong, and the other Huashan disciples stared in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief and confusion.
When did Master become so tough?
These words are truly inspiring!
Dongfang Bubai and the others became wary and dared not make any rash moves.
They knew that Yue Buqun must have something to rely on to be so arrogant.
Otherwise, he would never dare to be so arrogant!
Therefore, they had to proceed with caution before figuring out the other party's hand.
The tense atmosphere instantly became heavy.
The noise subsided, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Just as the stalemate was at its peak, a cold snort came from the void—
"I'd like to see who dares to protect your Mount Hua!"
"Who is pretending to be a ghost?!"
Yue Buqun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted sharply, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, the fear on everyone's faces gradually turned into mockery, and they all revealed amused smiles, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
"The Great Tang Scoundrels, Heavenly Star!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so dark figures suddenly appeared.
They were dressed in black, their faces hidden behind masks, except for the leader who wore a straw hat and raincoat, exuding a chilling aura.
"Even the Tang Emperor has been alarmed?"
"Yue has quite a bit of influence."
Yue Buqun gave a self-deprecating laugh, his expression remaining calm, an unusual behavior that aroused suspicion among the crowd.
The members of the Huashan Sect looked at each other in bewilderment, and even Dongfang Bubai and others noticed something amiss.
If anyone had previously doubted Yue Buqun's bravado, now no one dared to underestimate him.
Despite the oppressive power of the Tang Dynasty, Yue Buqun remained calm.
In the face of such a behemoth, empty words are meaningless.
Even with powerful backers, they might not be able to contend with the Tang Dynasty.
Unless, of course, that powerful figure has no fear of imperial authority!
"Hand over the Youth-Preserving Pill within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, or the entire Huashan Sect will be wiped out!"
Tian Gangxing warned coldly, his brows furrowed beneath the mask.
Yue Buqun chuckled and retorted, "Why don't you first ask who I'm relying on?"
"The Great Qin? The Great Yuan?" Tian Gangxing scoffed. "Does Mount Hua, a mere mountain, even deserve to make an emperor wage war for you?"
Indeed, Mount Hua is only a second-rate sect in the Nine Provinces.
If Mount Song can be bullied, how much more so the Tang Dynasty, which even top powers must bow down to?
"It seems the Azure Dragon Society doesn't meet your standards?"
A dark figure suddenly appeared, his voice cutting through the silence like a cold blade.
The crowd erupted in uproar, all eyes turning to Yue Buqun—
Fear, envy, greed... intertwined into a web.
The elixir of youth ultimately proved to be nothing more than a mirage.
The disciples of Mount Hua were relieved, and joy spread across their faces.
Tian Gang stared intently at the newcomer, his pupils suddenly contracting:
"Yan Shisan?!"
A hint of solemnity flashed across the aged face behind the mask.
A tree with deep roots grows tall and its fame spreads far and wide.
The person before us should not be underestimated.
As he spoke, he unconsciously tensed up, his fingers gripping the sword tightening slightly.
"The Huashan Sect is under the command of the Azure Dragon Society."
"Those who retreat within ten breaths will not be punished."
"Ten breaths later, kill all who remain!"
"Don't blame me for not saying so beforehand!"
Yan Shisan's gaze swept indifferently across the crowd, his words sharp as knives, filled with murderous intent.
A strong stench of blood filled the air, and everyone felt their bodies stiffen and their inner energy stagnate.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, becoming oppressive and cold, sending chills down one's spine.
Before the words were even finished, the once imposing crowd had scattered and fled in disarray, their previous arrogance completely gone.
Those with weaker skills turned pale and fled desperately, wishing they had two more legs.
In the blink of an eye, most of the figures disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few experts still hesitating.
However, as the ten breaths were about to pass, they finally gritted their teeth, cursed under their breath, and turned to leave.
Although Yan Shisan is strong, the combined efforts of everyone might be enough to fight him, but who is willing to bear the Qinglong Society's revenge?
The lessons learned from the past mistakes of major sects like Cihang and Jingzhai are still fresh in everyone's minds, so no one dares to gamble.
Even Dongfang Bubai did not linger; he remained calm and showed no anger.
Ten breaths later, only the group of Tian Gang Xing remained in the arena.
They may appear to be staying, but they are actually suffering inwardly.
If we retreat now, the Tang Emperor's wrath will be unpredictable; if we forcibly stay, the Azure Dragon Society is no pushover.
Feilu Backup Group 822698516
They knew the inside story even before they joined the company.
The fact that I was able to be promoted from a probationary member to a full member was entirely thanks to the Green Dragon Society!
If they hadn't gone on a killing spree...
The villains wouldn't have lost so many men.
The Bad Leader will not replenish his forces from the reserves.
But facing such a jinx,
Who isn't afraid?!
147 - What the Azure Dragon Society can't have, no one else can!
"It seems you all intend to resist to the bitter end?"
Seeing Tian Gang Xing and the others standing frozen in place,
A sinister smile tugged at the corner of Yan Shisan's mouth.
He suddenly waved his hand and gave the order:
The Bone Poison Sword was drawn with a clang.
Strike straight at the throat of the Heavenly Star.
The movement was as fast as lightning!
More than ten dark figures suddenly appeared.
Amidst the flashing blades and the clash of swords, each locked onto their target.
Tian Gang Xing's pupils suddenly contracted.
Yan Shisan's sword energy had already slashed his face.
He hastily drew his sword to parry.
But then a cold laugh pierced my ears:
"You think you're worthy to take this sword strike?"
The sword's momentum suddenly surged!
The blade tip pierced through his chest.
Tian Gangxing stared at the sword embedded in his chest.
His throat bobbed as he forced out fragmented last words:
"Okay...faster..."
When the body fell,
