Chapter 520 - 520 520 Ungrateful

Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Ungrateful Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Ungrateful Jiang Fan followed his gaze.

He noticed the surge of blood energy at the edge of the horizon and guessed who it was.

Giant Sect Master, Kong Yuanba!

“How did he arrive so quickly?”

It took at least seven or eight days by Spirit Beast from Sunset City to this place.

The disciples who initially went to Sunset City to deliver the message had only been on the road for a day or so.

They were far from Sunset City.

How did Kong Yuanba manage to get here so quickly?

Lei Zhenhai wrapped his hands within his sleeves and watched the approaching Blood Shadow, saying,

“Kong Yuanba, like me, was ordered to guard Boundary Mountain.”

“However, he received news midway that the Giant Sect’s Holy Land was attacked by Demon Beasts and went to investigate.”

“He came to Boundary Mountain after completing his investigation.”

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

That made sense.

Lei Zhenhai’s lips curved slightly, saying,

“I heard that Kong Yuanba has offered a high reward for killing the Great Elder, Tie Bubai.”

“I wonder if the person responsible is here today.”

These words were clearly a threat to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan said nothing.

He discreetly touched the White Bone Hairpin hidden in his sleeve.

The Nine-Headed Giant Python, under his control, had secretly followed him back to Boundary Mountain.

It was hidden deep underground at Boundary Mountain.

Should it come to a confrontation with Kong Yuanba,

he would unleash the Nine-Headed Giant Python.

Though the Nine-Headed Giant Python had been severely injured in its battle with the Black Spider,

its battle strength was far from its peak.

It could barely handle Kong Yuanba.

Combined with Li Qingfeng and the three elders, Kong Yuanba should not be able to defeat him.

Provided that Sect Master Lei would not intervene.

Kong Yuanba’s speed was extremely fast.

He displayed the formidable Physique of a Giant Sect Master.

With a single leap, he covered over ten yards.

When he landed, he raised a fearsome wave of snow several yards high, then leapt another ten yards!

He was just one man, yet he gave the impression of a massive army.

Li Qingfeng’s eyes showed a trace of shock as he said,

“The Giant Sect Master’s physique is comparable to that of some Supreme Elders of the Giant Sect.”

Zhao Wuji nodded slightly, “In terms of battle strength among the Nine-Sect Masters, he is either first or second.”

“The only ones who could surpass him are the Myriad Swords Sect Master, who has mastered the Sword Control Technique, and the Master of the True Thunder Sect during a thunderstorm.”

“Others, even the Supreme Sect Master, are somewhat inferior.”

The other sect elders on the mountain peak also showed deep reverence.

Though the Giant Sect Master was genuinely disliked,

he was undoubtedly strong!

Thud, thud, thud–

As the sound of relentless drumming approached,

Kong Yuanba’s towering figure, burning with blood-red energy, stepped forcefully onto the peak of Boundary Mountain.

His disdainful gaze swept around.

He immediately noticed the scattered Giant Sect disciples, his face darkens.

“Elder Yan, are the survivors just you and these few remaining?”

He had encountered the retreating injured on the road.

He already had some understanding of the battle at Boundary Mountain.

However,

the heavy casualties among the Giant Sect disciples greatly exceeded his expectations.

There were five severely injured Giant Sect disciples on the road.

Now, there were only four Giant Sect elders and disciples remaining.

In other words, among the three elders and over twenty disciples, over half had perished.

The few remaining were only four who were relatively intact.

The rest were severely injured, though not dead, they were crippled.

These were the elite disciples of the Giant Sect.

Such heavy losses made Kong Yuanba’s heart bleed.

The remaining Elder Yan said ashamedly, “It is my failure to protect them.”

Kong Yuanba silently looked towards the other sects.

He found that they were in a similar situation.

After the battle, only a few survived.

The True Thunder Sect only had their Sect Master left, the others were all severely injured or dead.

The Desires Sect had only three disciples left, all their elders were dead.

Relatively, the Giant Sect was better off.

This realization somewhat balanced his heart as he said, “It’s not your fault.”

“The battle was so ferocious, surviving is already a blessing.”

“Who could hope for everyone’s safety…”

Suddenly.

Kong Yuanba frowned.

He stared at the Green Cloud Sect’s group, coldly saying,

“Wait!”

“What’s going on with the Green Cloud Sect?”

“Why are they all unharmed?”

The three elders and over twenty disciples had no deaths, not even severe injuries.

Elder Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, “The Green Cloud Sect’s team was the last to enter the battle as reinforcements.”

“Moreover, they had adequate Healing Spirit Pills, and Replenishing Spirit Pills, which greatly reduced their casualties.”

Though he also found it unfair,

in the end, it was the Green Cloud Sect disciples who risked their lives to hold the collapsing defense line.

Their effort bought Lei Zhenhai the precious time to summon Heavenly Thunder.

With such merit, he had no words against it.

Kong Yuanba listened but still looked grim.

Why did the Giant Sect suffer great losses while the Green Cloud Sect emerged unscathed?

He directed a questioning gaze at Lei Zhenhai.

Seeing their arrangement doubted.

Lei Zhenhai felt the need to explain, saying,

“The Green Cloud Sect’s overall strength is average, and indeed I arranged for them to be the last reinforcements.”

“Their ability to maintain zero casualties is a testament to their skill.”

In that situation, any other sect’s team wouldn’t have achieved such minimal losses.

It was all thanks to Jiang Fan’s Replenishing Spirit Pills and Revitalizing Pills that such a miracle was possible.

“Hmph!” Kong Yuanba grunted unwillingly.

With Lei Zhenhai vouching for the Green Cloud Sect, he couldn’t say more.

He could only suppress his discontent.

“Sect Master! I have something to report!”

Jin Zhongming suddenly stepped forward, casting a cold smile at Jiang Fan.

“It’s about the true murderer of Elder Tie!”

“I’ve made a shocking discovery!”

It turned out,

besides Lei Zhenhai.

There was another who noticed Jiang Fan using the Purple Sword.

And that person was Jin Zhongming!

Before Kong Yuanba arrived, he had been holding his silence.

Because with the three Green Cloud Sect elders and over twenty disciples present, they had the numbers.

Now that Kong Yuanba was here,

it was the end for Jiang Fan!

“Speak!” Upon hearing it concerned Tie Bubai, Kong Yuanba’s eyes gleamed.

He suddenly fixed his gaze on Jiang Fan within the Green Cloud Sect group.

He had suspected Jiang Fan for a long time.

But the previous search had yielded nothing and Jiang Fan had even benefited from a trip to the Giant Sect’s Holy Land.

This time Jiang Fan was present again.

He was almost certain, Jin Zhongming was referring to Jiang Fan.

“It’s Jiang Fan!”

“I saw him use the Purple Sword with my own eyes!”

“He is the true murderer of Tie Bubai!”

Jin Zhongming pointed at Jiang Fan with a sinister smile.

It was indeed him!

Kong Yuanba laughed angrily, “Jiang Fan! I knew it was you!”

“Speak! How did you murder our Great Elder!”

He strode towards Jiang Fan with large steps.

The ground of Boundary Mountain trembled with his steps.

Li Qingfeng had long sensed the danger, along with Zhao Wuji and Wen Hongyao, they stood in front of Jiang Fan.

“Kong Yuanba! Just because our Green Cloud Sect Master is not here, you accuse our junior?”

“If you dare to touch Jiang Fan, you’ll face us first!”

The three stood in a triangular formation, confronting Kong Yuanba.

“Do I, Kong Yuanba, need to heed you bunch of trash?”

“Move aside!”

His towering combat body shook fiercely, sending out a powerful ripple.

The three of them staggered backward.

This changed their expressions multiple times.

Just a leak of his aura could force them back?

They couldn’t stop Kong Yuanba at all!

Jiang Fan’s face darkened.

Things were indeed heading in the worst possible direction.

If that was the case…

His hand silently gripped the White Bone Hairpin in his sleeve.

He was about to control the Nine-Headed Giant Python.

Suddenly.

A figure stood in front of Kong Yuanba.
