Chapter 1368: Chapter 365: No Team Fight Throws Like Yours (Part 3)

The key thing is, the sect’s secret array is still running just fine.

Being hard-headed is one thing, but there’s a limit to how hard-headed you can be; you can’t just keep being stubborn forever, right.

Turns out Yuchi still underestimated their greed. With a treasure like this right in front of them, if they’d just back off because of a few random words from some passing woodcutter, then as Sect Leaders they’d be completely useless.

The main point is: if your sect is really that powerful, why aren’t you in some big city? Why are you showing up now beside Jiangnan?

Sure, Jiangnan is doing pretty well nowadays, and it’s got a good shot at turning into a big city later on. But right now, Jiangnan is still just Jiangnan, without any long-standing historical foundation. So if you’re supposed to be some mighty sect, instead of going to those heavy-hitter cities, you run all the way over here?

Doesn’t that just mean you’re not actually that strong?

So what are you still posturing around here for?

You really think you can threaten us? We’re local sects here. Even a dragon from afar can’t bully the local snake. You actually think we’re that easy to push around?

So the Sect Leaders who were hesitating just now, after hearing Yuchi’s words, all had really ugly expressions on their faces.

Then, without even needing to say anything more, they each pulled out their magic treasures, clearly ready to go all-out against the people from this sect.

And one of the Sect Leaders even stepped up and gave a little speech.

"I don’t think this sect has any clue where they’ve come. This is Jiangnan. And Jiangnan has the Jiangnan United Commerce Association!"

"Under these circumstances you still dare to just barge in, you dare to move here without even going through the Commerce Association President, which is to say, President Yuchi, to get his approval?"

"Heh, you really just don’t put our Jiangnan United Commerce Association in your eyes, don’t put us local sects in your eyes. If we don’t attack you after this, then we really are just soft persimmons, huh?"

Yuchi: "I’m catching strays here."

He really was catching stray bullets. This is cultivator business—what’s it got to do with the Jiangnan United Commerce Association? It has literally nothing to do with it, but they just dump the blame on him like that. You can play it like this? Damn, they’re using me to threaten me? This kind of thing can actually happen?

He’d really broadened his horizons.

His old face went completely black.

And now this bunch of clowns were even starting to act cocky.

A Female Sect Leader stared straight at him and said, "Little woodcutter, I see you’re not far from Jiangnan, so how come you don’t even know about the Jiangnan United Commerce Association?"

"Looks like you don’t recognize President Yuchi either, huh?"

"Heh, let me tell you, I’ve eaten with President Yuchi. I’ve even sat with President Yuchi and admired the moon together as a woman, you know!"

"My relationship with President Yuchi is very good, so if anything happens to me next, President Yuchi will definitely step out and stand up for us!"

"By then, don’t even mention these so-called ancient sects—in front of President Yuchi, all of that is just illusions. You just wait and see."

Yuchi: "..."

Fuck!

Brilliant!

He’d miscalculated. He actually got used as a fox borrowing the tiger’s power?

Who could’ve seen that coming.

And just from how smoothly this Female Sect Leader was talking, it’s obvious this is how they talk all the time. Whenever something dangerous crops up, they just drag him out to take the bullets. As for when exactly he supposedly ate with her? When did that ever happen? How does he have no memory of such a thing?

Impossible.

Grandma’s.

The more Yuchi thought about it now, the angrier he got. He’s been pretty decent to them, right? He even went to their sects personally before, talking to them nicely, and they all put on this upright, righteous facade. And now behind his back they start stabbing him?

He just stopped talking.

He calmly watched as a cultivator in front of him rushed into the little path of the Ascension Gate, and the other Sect Leaders waited outside for a bit. Then, just as they were getting ready to charge in themselves, the Sect Leader who’d gone in first let out a scream, and his mangled corpse got shoved back out.

He was killed.

Killed outright by the Ascension Gate’s array, and Yuchi wasn’t in any hurry to leave. He just stood there calmly off to the side.

"I already told you, this is not the time to enter someone else’s sect gate."

"The other sect has just put itself right here."

"If they’ve got the strength and harbor malice toward you, then of course they’ll attack you. But if they don’t have any intention of attacking you at all, and just stay in place to protect themselves, then what are you charging in for? Isn’t that exactly you showing malice?"

But these Sect Leaders just wouldn’t listen.

Anyway, from their perspective, once an ancient sect shows up, there’s no way they’re just going to leave it alone, right? Whatever happens, they’ve got to get something out of this ancient sect! The Sect Leaders who stayed behind looked at one another, you look at me, I look at you.

None of them knew what was actually happening inside the Ascension Gate. That cultivator had just gone in, and his cultivation was about the same as theirs. But the moment he stepped in, he didn’t even get the slightest chance to fight back before he was killed outright!
