898: 249章_4 898: 249章_4 “Damn it!”
The people of the Mirage Tower in the East Sea, watching the departure of the two great Immortal Sects, immediately cursed.
The situation hadn’t reached a desperate state yet.
If they had continued to fight, there was still hope.
But now, with the departure of these two Immortal Sects, what was there left to fight for?
Although now, whether it was the Void Breaking Sect or the Star Moon Mansion, many of their people had died, and the remaining experts in the Golden Core Stage were few.
But with their departure, everyone could see that their side had first lost a leader, and then others left.
How much fighting spirit could those remaining possibly have?
How greatly would their morale be affected?
As for the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect, they were there to guard their Immortal Sect, each one fighting to the death.
In such a comparison, they no longer had any chance of victory.
The people of the Mirage Tower in the East Sea, cursing under their breath, turned and led their sect’s disciples away.
Following the departure of these three great Immortal Sects, the morale from the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect surged significantly.
They charged out from the Hundred Peaks Sect, led by Li Ke, Yan Yourong, and Xiang Ziyu, attacking the remnants of the former dynasty.
Little Beiyan had also already charged into the densest part of the former dynasty’s remnants.
For a time, countless clouds of tribulation fell from the void.
At this moment, the remnants of the former dynasty, now leaderless, faced the frenzied Lie Yan, as well as Bei Yan who brought the Heavenly Tribulation, along with three other great experts.
Many began to retreat.
Although Dao Yi had died, the remnants of the former dynasty still had other leaders, but among themselves, there was no hierarchy.
They were all equals.
Yet their attitudes were different; some wanted to stay and continue fighting to the death, while others thought they must go back and report to Prince Four before taking any further action based on the Prince’s commands.
Thus, momentarily, the remnants of the former dynasty descended into chaos.
Some began to leave, while others continued to fight to the death.
In the current disorder, they couldn’t fully display their strength.
Moreover, as more and more people retreated, even those who wanted to fight to the death had no choice but to compromise and pull back.
The people of the Hundred Peaks Sect pursued and killed for a hundred miles before they finally stopped and returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
But Lie Yan could hold on no longer, collapsing onto the ground.
“Elder Brother Lie Yan…”
After using a Secret Technique, Lie Yan did not stop but crazily overexerted his body.
Although he hadn’t self-destructed, his current state, after mad overexertion, looked almost similar to having self-destructed.
And yet, although he had fainted, the intense flames on his body still wildly burned.
Even though those who supported him were at the Golden Core Stage, their hands were still scorched red by the flames, and their palms emitted waves of unbearable heat.
But still, they did not let go, holding onto Lie Yan and returning to the Hundred Peaks Sect, where they brought him to the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak, who was now the Vice Sect Master Nie Jie.
“Brother Nie Jie…” At that moment, the high-ranking members of the Hundred Peaks Sect had also regathered, looking at Lie Yan who seemed to have almost no breath left.
Among the crowd, an old man emitted a sigh.
“Lie Yan, he…
sigh, he truly loved the Hundred Peaks Sect, he truly considered our Hundred Peaks Sect his home.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have attacked Dao Yi.
But if he truly considered the Hundred Peaks Sect his root, why did he betray the Hundred Peaks Sect in the first place?”
“What do we do now?”
Many people looked towards Nie Jie.
Lie Yan had betrayed the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Under such circumstances, he was certain to be punished, and even after the punishment, the Hundred Peaks Sect would likely expel him from the sect.
But this time the situation was different.
Lie Yan appeared to have betrayed the Hundred Peaks Sect, yet at a critical moment, he used a Secret Technique to directly kill Dao Yi.
They didn’t know how strong Dao Yi was, but they knew that Dao Yi was the leader of the remnants of the former dynasty who had come this time.
By killing Dao Yi, Lie Yan had indeed helped the Hundred Peaks Sect tremendously.
So how to deal with Lie Yan was something that made everyone’s heads ache.
The rules of the Hundred Peaks Sect couldn’t be changed lightly.
If an Immortal Sect always changed its rules, how could it develop, how could it continue to survive?
Moreover, according to tradition, betrayal of the Hundred Peaks Sect meant expulsion from the sect followed by execution.
But could Lie Yan’s actions really be considered betrayal?
At a critical moment, he had undoubtedly stood with the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Everyone could only look to Nie Jie, to see how he would handle the matter.
Nie Jie had already rushed to Lie Yan’s side, his energy gushing into Lie Yan’s body.
Lie Yan was his junior brother and hearing he was a traitor made him more upset and angry than anyone else.
But still, he unequivocally acknowledged his junior brother!
At the last moment, his junior brother had desperately attacked others, leaving him in this state.
He now didn’t want to focus on how to handle his junior brother; he just wanted to quickly heal his junior brother’s injuries.
But after continuously administering Pills and releasing Mana, his brow furrowed even deeper.
His junior brother was seriously injured.
It wasn’t just a simple use of a Secret Technique, but a burning of his own essence with the technique, recklessly depleting himself.
