Chapter 777: Do You Even Have Shame?
After speaking, Yi Feng was left with only a retreating figure. Everyone stared blankly as he walked toward the second level, then watched through the Star River Map as he quickly passed through the second level and teleported through the first level.
It took a while before the crowd finally snapped out of their daze. They looked at each other, then at the bound guardian beasts on the ground. What the guy had just said... was that even human language? And these beasts... unappetizing?
Despite their shock, Zeng Xian's eyes turned red as he looked at the Tianba Sect's guardian beasts. He then bowed deeply in the direction Yi Feng had left.
"Order that half—no, seventy percent—of the resources our Tianba Sect has acquired over the past ten years be sent to the Bailian Sect immediately!" Zeng Xian commanded.
As his order was issued, the news quickly spread outside. Although they couldn't leave the sacred mountain underground palace, messages could still be freely transmitted. Zeng Xian's action also served as a reminder to the other sects present.
Immediately, over a hundred urgent messages were sent out from the sacred mountain underground palace, spreading in all directions.
"He's out, he's out! As expected, he's the first one out."
"My God, he didn't even last two days. In previous records, even the worst performers lasted at least seven days!"
"This is such a huge embarrassment."
Outside the sacred mountain underground palace, Jiang Zuo and Jiang You, seeing Yi Feng emerge, immediately narrowed their eyes.
"Let's go!"
"Quick, retreat! As long as no one sees us coming out first, we won't be considered the last."
"Right, we can't afford this shame. Let's get out of here."
So, the moment Yi Feng stepped out, Jiang Zuo and Jiang You rushed over, flanking him on either side, and hoisted him up before making a run for it. The group quickly left the Tianba Sect, boarded a flying vessel, and headed back to the Bailian Sect. At the same time, Jiang Zuo and Jiang You also sent word back to the sect.
It wasn't that the two were loyal to the Grand Elder, but with Shi Qingwu in seclusion, the highest authority in the sect was the Grand Elder.
"Out in just two days."
"Dead last."
"What a huge embarrassment!"
The Grand Elder, Sun Zimei, had a sinister gleam in his eyes as he issued an order: "Spread this news throughout the entire sect immediately."
"Let it be known that during this competition, the sect leader's fiancé was the first to withdraw, lasting less than two days, setting a new record for the shortest time in the history of the Tianba Sect's lower sect competition."
After the order was given, the Grand Elder's lips curled into a smile. With this move, he was confident that Yi Feng wouldn't have the face to stay in the Bailian Sect. The scorn and insults from countless disciples would also put immense pressure on Shi Qingwu. How could a sect leader marry such a useless waste? It was a grave offense. Walking out like this would only bring shame to the Bailian Sect.
This scheme of Sun Zimei's was truly well-calculated.
With Sun Zimei's orchestration, within half a day, the news of Yi Feng being the first to withdraw from the competition in just two days, breaking the Tianba Sect's record, had spread throughout the entire sect.
Two days later, Yi Feng and the others, having returned from the Tianba Sect, arrived at the sect's entrance.
"Grand Elder, Yi Feng and the others are back."
"Many disciples have already gone to see."
A servant reported.
"Excellent."
The Grand Elder slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up with a smile. "Let's go take a look as well."
With that, he gathered a few elders and flew toward the sect entrance, landing on a mountain peak. From here, they could see the entire entrance clearly.
"Now, let's enjoy watching this kid's humiliation."
"Let's see how he can hold his head up under all this scorn and ridicule."
Sun Zimei stroked his beard, looking quite pleased.
Moments later, Yi Feng, Su Bai, Jiang Zuo, and Jiang You entered the sect gate. As soon as they stepped inside, countless disciples who had come to watch the spectacle turned their scornful gazes toward them, pointing and whispering.
"Look, that's him, the first one to withdraw from the competition."
"Yeah, I heard he even broke a record."
Whispers and murmurs filled the air.
Seeing this, Sun Zimei's smile grew even wider.
"Today, I'll make sure this brat understands that being the sect leader's fiancé isn't so easy."
However, to his surprise, Yi Feng actually smiled and cupped his hands toward the disciples.
"I didn't expect news of me being the first to withdraw and breaking the record to spread so quickly."
"Haha, you're all too kind."
"No need to be so enthusiastic."
"Thank you all for coming to welcome me."
"You've all worked hard."
Yi Feng waved at the pointing and whispering disciples, thanking them with ease. On the way back, Su Bai had already told him that he was the first to withdraw and that completing the entire course in two days was a record-breaking feat. He hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, Sun Zimei's expression froze.
This kid... has no shame, does he?
Can't he see all these people mocking him?
And he's thanking them? What the hell?
