I Hate Apologies After the Fact!
Is the Long Night Alliance an vassal of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
How come I didn't know?
Chen Xin fall silent.
Ning Fengzhi amused and exasperated. "Sect Master Feng, you've got it wrong!"
"The Long Night Alliance is not an affiliated sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School!"
"On the contrary, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has taken the initiative to befriend the Long Night Alliance!"
Feng Zhengyang's smile froze on his face.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Feng Chang, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Feng Chang, what happened?"
Feng Chang's lips twitched, and he forced himself to explain.
"Old Sect Master... Long Night Alliance..."
"The Long Night Alliance is a new force that has emerged in the last five or six years!"
"The leader of the alliance is none other than Ye Hua, the leader of the alliance, who is positioned at the center of the platform!"
"He commands numerous Titled Douluo!"
Feng Zhengyang was speechless.
Rise in five or six years?
Are there many Titled Douluo?
hiss--
No wonder he'd never heard of it back in his day!
Why didn't you tell me sooner!
"You didn't ask!"
The Feng Chang looked aggrieved.
He originally intended to use the aura of the Azure Nether Sword to force Huo Wu off the stage and that would be the end of it.
Who would have thought that the old sect leader would lose his temper and personally take to the fight!
"You!" Feng Zhengyang took a deep breath, his soul trembling.
He could afford to offend a power that even Chen Xin treated with respect?
But judging from the leader's youth, he must have only recently assumed the throne, right?
Since that's the case, he must still be inexperienced and won't be too forceful.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhengyang relaxed a little.
"He absolutely did not found the Long Night Alliance!"
"This Long Night Alliance must be a reclusive force that has emerged in recent years!"
"When I was young, I traveled all over the country and met countless remarkable people!"
"I've never heard of such an astonishing speed of rise!"
Feng Zhengyang frantically tried to reassure himself, adjust his state, and restore his authority as sect leader.
"Ahem, Alliance Leader Ye Hua," Feng Zhengyang said, adopting the air of a senior, "You're quite accomplished at such a young age!"
Ye Hua smiled enigmatically, "I have long admired Sect Master Feng's name."
The five words, "light and airy," were indifferent and bland; they weren't even bothered to get up.
Feng Zhengyang frowned, his pride rising again.
"Alliance Leader Ye Hua, it was I who acted presumptuously today."
"The Long Night Alliance is powerful, but it also needs allies."
"If you don't pursue this matter, our Wind Sword Sect can be your friend, just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"To turn swords into plowshares and weapons into peace, is that not wonderful?"
Ye Hua blinked, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
Adhering to the principle of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, he chose to let the other party finish rambling.
Then he waved casually.
Click click click click--!
A chilling aura erupted from the arena, completely surrounding the Azure Nether Sword!
The Feng Zhengyang figure trembled, its shadow dimming slightly!
He was horrified to discover that the chill could penetrate his soul, freezing him until his mind became clouded!
"Stop! Stop!" Feng Zhengyang cried out.
Ye Hua put down his teacup.
"Sect Master Feng, your sword almost killed my student."
"According to the rules, it shouldn't be kept."
After speaking, he slightly bent his five fingers and gently clenched them.
Click, click!
The ice froze and pressed against the sword.
Layers of Ultimate Ice were stacked on top of each other, completely freezing the sword!
In an instant, Feng Zhengyang's face turned ashen.
This sword is the dwelling place of his soul!
As long as the sword exists, the soul exists; if the sword is destroyed, the soul is scattered!
In a panic, he summoned sword energy and launched a frenzied attack!
The blue light flickered uncertainly, like a mosquito trapped in amber, unable to break free no matter how hard it struggled!
Under the corrosive influence of the cold air, Feng Zhengyang's soul rapidly faded, emitting a shrill scream!
"Wait! I surrender!"
"Night Alliance Leader! I know I was wrong! I beg you to show mercy!"
He frantically begged for mercy, his mouth agape, so wide it was almost distorted!
Feng Chang also felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and knelt down with a thud.
"Night Alliance Leader! Night Alliance Leader, spare my life!"
"It's understandable that the old sect leader was unaware of the truth!"
"You bastard!" Feng Zhengyang glared.
That's absolutely understandable!
Do you think I haven't died fast enough?
"Night Alliance Leader Ye, I deserve my punishment. Take whatever Wind Sword Sect property you fancy!"
"I beg you to have mercy on me, and spare my Wind Sword Sect!"
"Oh," Ye Hua said casually, "But I hate apologizing afterward the most."
He lowered his hand, but the ice did not melt.
A crisp, cracking sound rang out, making one's teeth ache.
The blade of the Azure Nether Sword was covered with cracks.
It shattered into dozens of pieces, clattering and clanging as it fell onto the ice, like broken glass.
The sword energy and souls of the sect leaders throughout the ages contained within also turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated in the sunlight.
"No--"
Feng Zhengyang howled in pain, his old face still showing shock and resentment.
With a soft pop, the soul exploded and vanished completely.
The Feng Chang shatters swords and scatters souls, causing the dead to flee in terror!
With the sect's most treasured artifact destroyed, his position as Grand Elder is over!
He tasted a sweetness in his throat, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and collapsed backward!
The disciples of the Wind Sword Sect exchanged glances, but none of them dared to go up on stage to help him up!
The three major sects remained completely silent.
Only ice crystals continued to drift and fall silently.
Ye Hua looked at the referee and nodded.
The referee, realizing what was happening, quickly made a ruling.
"In the second round, Huo Wu of the Long Night Alliance wins!"
Huo Wu bowed to Ye Hua, and was then helped down by her brother.
Huo Wushuang proudly patted his sister's shoulder, head held high and chest puffed out.
"Shall we play the third match next?" the referee asked cautiously.
Seeing that Ye Hua was about to agree, Tuo Ba Chuo quickly interrupted, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Night Alliance Leader, I request that we leave it at that for today."
"Look, Elder Feng has fainted, and I also need to take care of the injured disciples."
"As the host, your esteemed clan is magnanimous and will surely understand us, right?"
Ye Hua glanced at the sky. He had finished two rounds in the morning and could have played another.
However, Feng Zhengyang persisted in his unreasonable behavior, and they managed to stay in the room until lunchtime.
"Alright." Ye Hua was too lazy to argue.
Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!
Instead of wasting time arguing, why not think about what to eat for lunch!
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, looking at Ning Fengzhi, the distinguished guest, "Today the Crystal Palace is hosting a banquet, let's have a good get-together!"
"Would you do me the honor of coming?"
"You're too kind!" Prince Xue Xing quickly replied.
Putting aside the fact that the Long Night Alliance has to save face, they can't refuse!
He also brought Xue Ye's order: to negotiate with Ye Hua!
Led by Ye Hua, the group headed towards the Crystal Palace, leaving only the three sect Elder standing there bewildered!
Hu Qian grim. "Elder Tuoba, this..."
"Let's go back first." Tuo Ba Chuo a deep breath.
The two looked at each other, both as if they had lost their parents.
"If things are beyond our control, then we will have no choice but to make the necessary sacrifices!" Tuo Ba Chuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Third Prince has spread rumors and slanders, misleading us. We offer him to Ye Hua in hopes of forgiveness!"
Hu Qian asked doubtfully, "Will this work?"
"We have to make it work, even if it's not feasible," Tuo Ba Chuo said solemnly. "We have no other bargaining chips!"
"Dai Mubai, humph, what a piece of trash! How is he any worse than your older brother!"
"They can't even gather proper intelligence, and they insist that Ye Hua and the main force haven't returned!"
"Now look what's happened! If I see him again, I'll give him a piece of my mind!"
When Dai Mubai was mentioned, Hu Qian shook his head.
If Dai Mubai hadn't been so reckless, they wouldn't be in such a passive position!
But just as they were getting angry, a disciple from the sect reported this.
"Elder Tuoba,"
"Elder Hu Qian,"
"His Highness the Third Prince requests that you come to his room for a meeting."
"They say he has a way to deal with Ye Hua!"
