Chapter 765 410: The Contention for the Famous Artifact—Only the Strong Deserve to Own Lei Ying!
The reason these people didn't come is probably because they didn't want to give it their all.
Or perhaps, the time wasn't right.
In fact, at this point, those sects that had been devastated by Old Demon Duan held less animosity towards him.
Especially sects like the Red House.
When Old Demon Duan first emerged, the first to be targeted were the Red House and the Thunder God and Mother Sect. It was then that they hated Old Demon Duan the most.
Because Old Demon Duan was a newcomer, unknown in reputation, yet he managed to defeat them so severely, making them look bad in front of their martial world peers and significantly diminishing their status and repute.
As time went on, for each expert that Old Demon Duan killed and each sect he destroyed, they oddly felt a little pleased.
Look, even the manor and sub-branch manor masters of Netherworld Mountain Villa were wiped out. You see, even the entire Huangshan Sword Sect was splattered with urine and annihilated. Look, even the Heavenly King of the White Sock Divine Sect was killed. When compared like this, doesn't it make their defeat seem less disgraceful?
Yes, the more significant Old Demon's reputation became, the less detestable their failure appeared.
Conversely, the Red Mansion Fairy could even afford to be a little proud.
Our sect, without much initial experience, held out against Old Demon Duan for so long, what about you?
With so much experience and caution, those who should have died still died, and those sects that should have been exterminated were still exterminated.
The status in the martial world is not timeless, it is relative. Although our humiliating defeat is undoubtedly painful, the success of peers stings even more.
It's obvious that the once united alliance of victims is now a bit divided.
The White Sock God Sect, being the most recent victims of Old Demon's severe blow, is evidently in the throes of hatred.
The elder of White Socks looked at everyone furiously and said, "If, I say if Old Demon is severely injured, I will certainly step up and kill him. You cowardly folks bring shame to associate with such cowardice!"
With that, he left with his people.
After Guo Heavenly King's death, there was an opening among the four Heavenly Kings, and this elder wanted to take a gamble. If he could kill the severely injured Old Demon, he would naturally advance further and become the new Heavenly King!
Coincidentally, his surname was also Guo, because of this, although he was revered as an elder despite his age, he had been mocked as Guo Heavenly King's son.
Now fate has given him a chance, a chance to become Guo Heavenly King's father!
With the departure of the White Sock God Sect, the spats within the victim alliance naturally grew larger.
The assassins of Netherworld Mountain Villa, still shrouded in black robes, said, "As long as there is enough silver, we'll kill the severely injured Old Demon."
The elder from the Red House sneered and said, "Your manor was destroyed, your manor master killed, and despite such humiliation, you still ask for silver to kill your enemy?"
The gold assassin followed with a sneer, "It was the second manor destroyed, the second manor master killed. What does this have to do with our main manor? If you don't want to pay, don't expect top-tier assassins like us to take action."
"The gold of a gold assassin is the gold of gold coins."
Saying that, several assassins shrouded in black robes from Netherworld Mountain Villa also left.
Originally, the room was crowded, but suddenly only the Red House Girls and the Madman Lei from the Thunder God and Mother Sect remained.
That is, the initial persecutors of Old Demon Duan.
Fate has made them confront each other again.
The two groups had once joined forces, successfully using their lives to make Old Demon Duan famous during the battle at the graveyard, and now only they remained, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
The Red Mansion Fairy was good at easing awkwardness. At such times, just a slight flirtation could fulfill the camaraderie of peers and eradicate the awkwardness, but the Red Mansion Fairy greatly despised Madman Lei.
Madman Lei was not only unattractive, but he also had two iron rods stuck in his head, making them feel disgusted, and they could not bring themselves to lower their waists.
Hong Hong, the Great Elder of the Red House, said, "What do you think?"
The leader of the Thunder God and Mother Sect said, "The new sect leader has descended, and with the divine prophecy received early, the day of the avalanche of thunder will be the day Old Demon dies. Without any allies, we can still kill Old Demon."
Having said that, they also left.
The room was suddenly filled only with the scantily clad fairies of the Red House.
Their thin clothes fluttered in the wind, filling the room with a flavor of loneliness.
The victim alliance had come quickly and gone quickly, with the fastest and most complex changes in mood.
Some of the "allies" who went their separate ways suddenly looked up to Wangchun City, internally muttering, "Old Demon Duan, hang in there, don't die at the hands of the Gu family!"
Yes, if the Young Master of the Gu family succeeds in this endeavor, they will forever be overshadowed by the Gu family, and when their head sees the Young Master, he'll probably have to kneel and become a bench.
This is the humiliation winners inflict on losers.
But, with a twist in their minds, they felt uneasy, lamenting, "Is this right?"
Why do we want to support Old Demon Duan, who made us suffer terribly?
...
Sitting in a restaurant, eating braised lion's head and listening to the talks of the Martial World people, I found myself truly enlightened.
Turns out the Emperor really used a golden hoe to dig earth.
These days, I wasn't particularly nervous, but Feng Ling'er and the others were quite sensitive.
In the morning, the Murong brothers solemnly said, "This will be the greatest challenge since the establishment of Heroic Land!"
Duan Yun quipped, "The last time when some Young Master's woman came, you said the same thing."
The Murong brothers explained, "That Lei Ying was weaker than expected, but this Young Master from the Gu family is a real genius."
"A genius compared to me?"
The Murong brothers hesitated for a moment and said, "The other party dares to bet all the honor of the Gu family, coming so grandiosely to challenge you; he must have truly mastered the Divine Skill and is confident of defeating you!"
"From top to bottom, no one in the Gu family is mediocre. Wangchun City must strengthen its defense." Feng Ling'er said with a stern face.
Duan Yun could see that the group of heroes was quite tense.
And this Young Master of the Gu family, who has only just arrived, does seem quite capable.
"Is there really confidence to defeat me?"
"I really want to know the answer."
When this thought emerged, Duan Yun finished eating the braised lion's head and asked the waiter to send a message, then left.
The Murong brothers' group learned of Duan Yun's message in the afternoon.
The storm was about to come, and they were busy preparing for the upcoming events. When they heard the news, they were stunned.
"What did he say?" Feng Ling'er said in surprise.
"Young Hero Duan said he's going ahead to finish off that Young Master and leaving the rest to you all."
"He also said that he hasn't done well as the leader of this group of heroes. He just needs to go and smash the enemy, and you all have much more to consider."
The Murong brothers had started scratching their heads, groaning, "He really went."
Duan Yun left in a hurry this time, and Little Yin, his steed, wasn't ridden. For a moment, it felt somewhat lost and said, "So what do we do?"
Feng Ling'er, with the demeanor of a lady in charge, said, "Of course, we guard Wangchun City well. The Gu family has many experts. Didn't he say? He just wants to smash that Young Master, while we have much more to consider."
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and said, "I need to go back to Yuzhu Manor."
Ning Qing asked, "Why?"
Feng Ling'er said, "Hostage! The Gu family is about to go to war with us, and someone may come to rescue Bitch Lei."
With that, she hurried back.
During this period, due to the many affairs Wangchun City had to handle, Big White sometimes went out to help, and there weren't many people guarding Yuzhu Manor.
After all, it was already rumored to be the Abyss Hell of Old Demon Duan's enjoyment and slaughterhouse of Star Fury, and no one dared to come.
In fact, apart from a cellar without traps, there was really nothing there.
When Feng Ling'er arrived at Yuzhu Manor, her expression sank.
The door of the cellar was indeed open.
Bitch Lei and Leopard-Spotted Bitch were rescued!
But as she approached the entrance, she heard Bitch Lei's voice.
"Madam, hurry up and leave with us. This is the best opportunity."
"I will not leave with you. Tell Gu Dile that I, Lei Ying, deserve only to be owned by the strong. If she can defeat Old Demon Duan, I will still be her wife. If he loses to Old Demon Duan, then my esteemed title as Tianzhou's number one beauty belongs solely to Old Demon Duan!"
Lei Ying spoke resolutely, demonstrating her firmest determination.
Almost at the same time, Feng Ling'er's Red Face Sword was already unsheathed, as she cursed, "You bitch, fantasizing absurdly!", as she charged in with her sword.
