Wen Ping took the Storage Ring and handed it to Yun Liao in the Main Hall.
As the first Elder, Wen Ping decided to entrust Yun Liao with the responsibility of the Celestial Materials and Treasure Vault.
When Yun Liao saw the celestial materials inside the Storage Ring, he was taken aback.
"Sect Leader, this is just too much."
"I think even the Treasure Vaults of the four-star giant influences canāt compare to ours, not even half."
Yun Liao took out the boxes filled with celestial materials one by one and placed them on the shelves of the Treasure Vault, continuously expressing his amazement.
Wen Ping smiled helplessly, "Elder Yun, donāt act like someone who hasnāt seen the world. The celestial materials in this Treasure Vault will only continue to increase."
"Sect Leader, I understand what you mean, itās just... I really havenāt seen much of the world."
"Thatās quite a convincing statement. Alright, take your time. From now on, you are in charge of everything in this Treasure Vault. Remember to record every celestial material that leaves here. As long as an Immortal Sect member needs it, they can freely use it."
"Sect Leader, may I boldly ask, why have you suddenly become so generous?"
Wen Pingās face darkened, "If you donāt like it, I can take it back."
Yun Liao quickly responded, "I like it! Of course, I like it! Initially, only food was free in the Immortal Sect, but now celestial materials can be used for free too. Iām thrilled, how could I not like it?"
"If everything comes easily, how can one learn to cherish?"
Wen Ping asked rhetorically as he walked out of the Treasure Vault.
Before leaving, Wen Ping saw Yun Liaoās earnest face.
Clearly, Yun Liao found his words very reasonable.
"Freedom cannot be bought with money, but it can be sold for money."
"One must endure temporary pain to achieve everlasting happiness."
"Hope is the source of life, without it, life will wither."
"Books are the ladder of human progress."
"The fourth sentence seems somewhat unsuitable for this world... Iāll think again."
Wen Ping slowly walked out of the Main Hall.
...
Vast City.
Since the Immortal Sect slashed down four Silver Level chiefs, the entire centennial event has become somewhat different.
The air is filled with a peculiar atmosphere.
It makes people feel strange.
This does not exist in the centennial events of previous years.
Coupled with the disappearance of the three major influences outside Heaven and Earth Lake that originally supported the centennial event, the event suddenly changed in nature.
Because no one knows if those who shine at the centennial event will still get the chance to cultivate outside Heaven and Earth Lake.
Ultimately, the Hundred Sects Alliance had no choice but to announce a pause.
They need to contact the influences outside Heaven and Earth Lake, inform them of the situation, and assess their attitude.
Otherwise, they could be passionately competing, while the influences outside Heaven and Earth Lake canāt see it, without giving them slots, wouldnāt everything be meaningless?
However, days passed, and no messages came from outside Heaven and Earth Lake.
The three Golden Level chiefs are jumping around in anxiety.
...
Meanwhile, five people suddenly descended amidst the snow outside Vast City.
All five descended from the sky.
Then walked through the snow into Vast City.
As soon as the five entered the city, one of them immediately condensed a Vein Qi blade, pressing it against someoneās throat.
"Take us to the Hundred Sects Alliance."
The speaker showed a very cold expression, speaking in an even colder voice.
Colder than the snowstorm outside the city.
As the four imposing presences beside him approached, people around didnāt dare to come close, let alone care about the fate of the person being held.
...
The Headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Wen Venerable stood by the window, gazing blankly at Vast City outside.
Behind him, Suo Tongfang, one of the three Golden Level chiefs, was chattering nonstop.
"If it werenāt for the Demon Realm causing trouble, our Hundred Sects Alliance wouldnāt have lost so much face at the Scatterfolk Lodge. Four Silver Level chiefs were killed on the street, and the Immortal Sect waited a whole quarter for us before leaving, which is simply hitting the Hundred Sects Allianceās face. Damn Demon Race!"
"Also, why do we three have to go to the Demon Realm together? Wen Venerable, wouldnāt it be better if you stayed to oversee the big picture?"
Unable to listen anymore, Wen Venerable turned around and coldly rebuked, "Enough, arenāt you done yet? Do you think the current situation is something I wanted? If youāre so capable, youā"
Wen Venerableās words stopped abruptly.
Because, from the corner of his eye, he saw a massive crescent-shaped Vein Qi slash fly past the window.
Followed by the collapse of the Silver Level chief tower of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Boom!
"Whatās going on!"
The enormous noise immediately drew Wen Venerableās two companions over.
However, just as they wanted to see what was happening outside, a Vein Qi suddenly swung towards their window.
The three instinctively dodged, only to see a big hole broken into the wall by the Vein Qi.
Just as the three wanted to get angry, they saw a person stepping towards them from beyond the wall.
"Earth Unrestricted Expert!"
The three simultaneously exclaimed.
Before they had time to think about who the intruder was, they saw four more Earth Unrestricted Experts stepping through the air.
A total of five!
The three were stunned.
Five Earth Unrestricted Experts, is Heaven and Earth Lake undergoing upheaval?
As the leading Earth Unrestricted Expert stepped into the room, they coldly swept a glance over the three of Wen Venerable, asking, "So, your Hundred Sects Alliance people dared to kill Cang Lan and are now scared when you see us?"
"Esteemed seniors, you might be mistaken," Wen Venerable hurriedly stood up, forcing himself to appear calm.
This misunderstanding must be clarified.
If five Earth Unrestricted Experts were to start fighting.
They wouldnāt even have the chance to fight back.
"Di Ting, they say we got it wrong."
"No mistake. The one who killed Cang Lan was indeed the Hundred Sects Alliance, and they then deliberately provoked us."
From among the four behind him, a man with a sinister, bizarre face spoke as he walked forward, slowly approaching the three of Wen Venerable.
"Since you didnāt hear wrong, begin the slaughter then, kill as many as possible in this city. We must do something for Cang Lan."
"Keep killing until their Earth Unrestricted appears."
"I agree."
"Ditto."
After speaking, they all simultaneously activated their Meridian Gates.
Five people, twenty Meridian Gates opening at once.
Seeing this setup, the three of Wen Venerable were terrified, but upon hearing that these Earth Unrestricted Experts intended to slaughter the city, they quickly stood up to explain.
"Esteemed seniors, you really may have the wrong people."
"The strongest among our Hundred Sects Alliance is the three of us, and we have no Earth Unrestricted Experts."
"Seniors, seniorsā"
The three were so anxious they were practically shouting.
But fearing that being too loud might upset the five, leaving no time for explanation, they could only force smiles and explain.
Di Ting listened to their words with a laugh, "No Earth Unrestricted? On that day, your Earth Unrestricted Expert provoked my Zhetian Tower and didnāt seem cowardly then. Now you know fear? Itās too late!"
Saying that, Di Ting directly reached for Suo Tongfang.
Sensing trouble, Suo Tongfang hurriedly activated his Meridian Gate and tried to escape.
But in an instant, Di Ting caught up, grabbed him by the neck, and squeezed tightly.
"Move, and Iāll exert force!" Di Ting threatened.
Suo Tongfang felt like crying without tears, "Senior, you really misunderstood!"
