"What? The whole sect was destroyed?" Shi Yuyan was stunned.
"Well, the entire sect was destroyed."
Shi Ling nodded and said: "At that time, the attack of the beast army was very sudden, and everyone was not well prepared. When strong men from all sides got the news and rushed over to support, the mountain gate of Fuyun Sect had been breached, although in the end the strong men from all sides fought back.
We defeated the Beast Army, but we still couldn’t save the Fuyun Sect.”
"We were quite lucky this time, because there were foundation-building disciples from all walks of life practicing deep in the mountains. They discovered the Beast Army's actions in advance and were able to make early preparations. Even in the face of a head-on attack, the Beast Army did not hold out for too long.
Retreat, otherwise even if our Blue Maple Sect will not be destroyed, we will suffer even greater losses." Qi Yunzi added.
"Although the foundation-building disciples who went out for training discovered the beast army early, they were also the first to encounter the beast army, and many of them failed to return to the sect."
Shi Ling looked at his disciples and said with a wry smile: "Thanks to your lack of strength, you did not continue to practice deep in the mountains. Come back early to avoid encountering the beast army."
Lu Yongshan and others also smiled bitterly, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in their hearts.
Because they gave up training early and returned to the sect, the beast army attacked. Lu Yongshan and others relied on the sect and were protected by the strong men of the sect. Although they also participated in the battle, they only suffered some injuries and no one lost their lives.
"Well, it would be great if half of the foundation-building period disciples from each sect sent out for training this time came back alive."
Qi Yunzi looked depressed and said: "Only six of my disciples have returned, and only two of Junior Brother Hong Jing's disciples have returned. And I heard that none of Junior Brother Liu's disciples have returned."
"Senior Brother Liu's disciples were all killed. When you went to hunt down the beast army, I went to the Hall of Fame and saw that the soul jade slips of Senior Brother Liu's disciples were all broken into pieces. Even the Inner Sect Foundation Building Stage
Among the disciples, Li Mingyuan, whose strength is second only to Chu Chen, also had his soul jade slip broken." Shi Ling shook his head and sighed.
"Li Mingyuan is also dead?"
Shi Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Good death, that guy is too arrogant, he deserves to die."
"What are you talking about?"
Shi Ling immediately scolded him and said: "Even if he usually has Xu Ao, after all, you and him are from the same sect, how can you talk so harshly to each other?"
"Father, you don't know something. Li Mingyuan relies on his strength to be tyrannical and has no regard for the friendship between the same sect. At the beginning of our training, we finally killed a late-stage foundation-building monster, but he took the monster's inner
The Dan was taken away, and they kept humiliating us for our lack of strength." Shi Yuyan said unconvinced.
"Since you know what he did was wrong, do you still want to imitate him?" Shi Ling still lectured his daughter.
"Humph" Shi Yuyan just snorted and did not argue anymore.
"The large group of monsters and ferocious beasts that you suddenly encountered are probably the vanguard of the beast army. They were not deliberately attracted by anyone." Shi Ling speculated.
"By the way, father"
Shi Yuyan's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked: "Is Senior Brother Lingtian's Soul Jade Slip broken?"
"Junior sister, in that situation, there is absolutely no chance that Junior Brother Ling Tian will survive by chance."
"Being chased by dozens of monsters, he was stuck there alone, with little chance of survival."
"We owe it to our junior brother."
Wei Guang and others spoke out one after another, not expecting Ling Tian to survive.
"Is it broken?" Shi Yuyan asked still hopeful.
Regardless of whether she is an inner or outer sect, apart from her father, Shi Yuyan has the best relationship with Ling Tian. She has already regarded Ling Tian as a friend, so she will naturally be more concerned about him.
"No." Shi Ling said calmly.
This answer from his master naturally surprised Lu Yongshan and others, but the surprise on their faces disappeared after a while. They thought that their master said this deliberately to comfort the little junior sister.
"Really?" Shi Yuyan asked with surprise on her face, opening her beautiful eyes.
"Really." Shi Ling nodded, not looking like he was lying.
"Very good"
Shi Yuyan cheered excitedly and turned to Lu Yongshan and others: "Did you hear that Senior Brother Ling Tian is not dead?"
"Hmm, my junior brother is blessed with great fortune, so naturally he won't die easily."
"It won't be long before my junior brother will be back."
"It seems we all guessed wrong."
Lu Yongshan and others hurriedly echoed. They looked happy on the surface, but in fact they just didn't want their junior sister to feel sad.
"Are everyone back together?"
The leader, Dou Yunzi, flew out of the mountain gate and asked everyone.
"My disciples are all back."
"Five of my disciples have not returned, but their soul jade slips have been shattered."
"I still have one disciple who hasn't come back, and the soul jade slip hasn't been broken."
"None of my disciples have returned, they are all dead."
All the masters in the spirit fetus stage stood up one after another, first bowed to the master, and then answered aloud.
"Then let's wait for another hour, it's not bright yet."
The leader, Dou Yunzi, nodded calmly and said with relief: "The beast army has retreated. There are no powerful evil beasts thousands of miles south. As long as those disciples who have not returned are still alive, they can return to the sect smoothly."
"Since Senior Brother Lingtian is not dead, why hasn't he come back yet?" Shi Yuyan frowned, looking anxious.
"Junior brother is probably delayed by something."
"Don't worry, junior sister, junior brother will be back soon."
"Even if I can't come back today, I will come back in the future."
Wei Guang and others spoke out one after another. In fact, they were just comforting junior sister Yuyan. In their hearts, they all felt that junior junior brother Ling Tian would never come back.
An hour passed quickly, during which several inner sect foundation-building stage disciples did come back, some were in a very embarrassed state, and some were seriously injured.
Ling Tian hasn't come back yet, and junior sister Yuyan has been staring south, expecting that familiar figure to come.
"Okay, the time is up, let's start showing off the experience gains of each team."
The voice of leader Dou Yunzi sounded again. Even though they had just experienced a dangerous battle, the plan remained unchanged. The team that ranked first in experience and gain would be rewarded with a thousand low-grade spiritual stones from the sect.
Beast armies attack occasionally. Since the sect has not suffered much damage, it cannot disrupt its position because of this.
The masters of the sect naturally have a long-term vision.
"I don't think you need to look at it. Our team must have gained the most."
A disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage had a loud voice and a look full of confidence, because standing next to him was Chu Chen, the number one master in the Foundation Establishment Stage of the Inner Sect.
Everyone looked at the sound and showed no intention of arguing.
Chu Chen's strength is too strong. With him in the team, he can naturally hunt more and stronger monsters and ferocious beasts.
"We obtained a total of 436 inner elixirs, including 12 at the peak of the late foundation building stage, 40 at the late stage of foundation building, 120 at the middle stage of foundation establishment, and 120 at the early stage of foundation establishment.
Two hundred and sixty-four"
Chu Chen immediately spoke up and reported their team's harvest.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Leader Dou Yunzi smiled and nodded, feeling very happy in his heart. After all, everyone in Chu Chen's team was a disciple of his lineage.
"With Chu Chen here, there will be no suspense in the first book."
Qi Yunzi spoke, and he turned around and said: "These unsatisfactory disciples of mine have gained a lot. They have obtained a total of 312 inner elixirs, including three at the peak of the late foundation establishment and the late foundation establishment."
There are twenty-five, so I guess I can definitely take the second place."
"My disciples have also gained a lot. There is one at the peak of the late stage of foundation establishment, and eighteen in the late stage of foundation establishment. It is estimated that they can enter the top three." Lie Yunzi followed up and said.
Then, each team began to report their harvest. As they spoke, they would give a storage bag to the leader Dou Yunzi to check.
With the gaze of the head, Dou Yunzi, he could easily tell whether these inner elixirs had just been dug out from monsters or ferocious beasts. It would be impossible to replenish the inner elixirs with the inner elixirs obtained before.
"It seems that my incompetent disciples have gained the least. They only have three inner elixirs in the late stage of foundation establishment, twenty in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and only fifty-three in the early stage of foundation establishment."
Shi Ling said with a wry smile.
"Junior Brother Shi, don't be discouraged. You have the smallest number of disciples and the weakest overall strength. It is reasonable for you to gain the least."
"That's right, that's right, it doesn't matter if you're at the bottom. There's always a team that's at the bottom."
Two masters in the spiritual fetus stage spoke out their condolences.
"Huh? Look, senior brother Ling Tian is back."
Suddenly, Shi Yuyan pointed to the mountains and forests to the south and shouted with great excitement.
Everyone looked over and saw a young monk in tattered clothes, striding from the mountains and forests to the south with a small black monster in his arms.
The young monk had an unattractive appearance, and his tattered clothes were stained with blood. He looked very embarrassed, but his steps were very steady and his expression was very calm.
Look at that young man’s appearance, who is it if it’s not Ling Tian?
"No way, Junior Brother Lingtian is really still alive?"
Lu Yongshan, Wei Guang and others all looked incredulous, but after a moment, their faces also showed happy and excited smiles.
Shi Ling's face was calm, with no expression of surprise at all.
"Senior Brother Lingtian"
Shi Yuyan cheered and jumped directly towards Ling Tian.
"I'm not late, am I?"
When Shi Yuyan threw herself into his arms, Ling Tian smiled and explained: "I could have come back early, but I didn't expect that I encountered a group of monsters on the way and suffered some injuries. I can only come back after the injuries are stable."
"Zhizhi"
Shi Yuyan hugged Ling Tian, which made the little monster in Ling Tian's arms very dissatisfied. It screamed angrily twice and grinned, protesting that Shi Yuyan had squeezed it.
"Eh? This little thing's expression is so cute."
Shi Yuyan then let go of her arms, looked at the little monster in Ling Tian's arms, and said very curiously.
"Little Junior Brother"
Lu Yongshan and four other people also gathered around, with expressions of concern on their faces.
"Do you think I'm dead?" Ling Tian asked with a smile.
Lu Yongshan and the other four looked embarrassed, but Shi Yuyan shook her head and said, "We all believe that senior brother, you are blessed with great fortune and will definitely come back safely."
"Hey, actually, it's just a little bit different, and you won't see me again."
Ling Tian laughed dryly and said: "However, surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings later. I have gained a lot this time, and it is estimated that we can get the first place in the rankings."
