Chapter 301 - Intercept
After distributing rewards, it was time for the other nine to pick a sect to join. Feng Ye picked the Heavenly Origin Sect, Yuwen Tianqian picked the Transcendant Plume Gate, Mu Hongyang picked the Demonic Heart Palace, Ji Xinghe picked the Indigo Cloud Gate, Tan Yan picked the Misty Sect, Xiao Wenlai picked the Dugu Clan, and Yi Kang chose the Divine Sun Palace as the weakest among the ten.
As for Jia Fengmao, he joined the Azure Crimson Gate as he possessed talents for alchemy. Anyone who opposed the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion joined the Azure Crimson Gate, and this was an unspoken acknowledgment.
The only surprise was Shui Huan, who chose to join the Sky Rift Valley. This sect was mysterious and rarely appeared in the outside world.
As for the remaining ninety people, the majority joined the Heavenly Origin Sect, and the other sects didn’t have many left. The Divine Sun Palace only managed to recruit five disciples. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion didn’t manage to recruit many disciples either.
This was because the majority focused on their cultivation and had no interest in alchemy. Compared to the Divine Sun Palace, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion only managed to recruit twelve people, including Liu Wuxie.
“All of you have fifteen minutes to say farewell before returning to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with me!” Fan Lin looked at the twelve disciples and gave them time to say goodbye. This was because they might not be able to return anytime soon.
It was a rule that no one was allowed to leave the cultivation world without reaching the Heavenly Phase Realm. This meant that Mu Yueying’s cultivation was in the Heavenly Phase Realm at the very least.
The twelve disciples quickly left for their respective dynasties and bid farewell to their companions.
Fan Zhen and others couldn’t wait and rushed over. When they came over, they hugged Liu Wuxie because the Great Yan Dynasty had won immense glory that day, becoming the champion. Even Luo Zhaojun also gave Liu Wuxie a big hug.
“Wuxie, just let us know if there is anything we can do for you.” Setting Liu Wuxie free from his embrace, Fan Zhen restored his dignified demeanor, but the excitement in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
“Take care of my family!” That was Liu Wuxie’s only request, and he wasn’t concerned with anything else. They began to chat about other matters, and fifteen minutes passed quickly.
Waving goodbye to Fan Zhen and others, Liu Wuxie walked towards Fan Lin without hesitation.
In the next second, the Dragon Battlefield was covered in tears. Even Fan Zhen had two streaks of tears rolling down his cheeks. Qin Lai and Li Nanxiang were brawling because no one knew when they could see Liu Wuxie again after this farewell. In the future, they would be people of two different worlds.
Fan Lin retrieved a flying carpet from his interspatial ring, which expanded into a giant rug hovering in the air.
That was the same for the other envoys; only Yu Tianyi took out a warship. It wasn’t massive, but it was a ship that sailed in the air.
The Heavenly Origin Sect had a vast harvest and recruited twenty-eight students. The Demonic Heart Palace’s envoy took out a crimson pagoda, and all the eighteen disciples entered.
Flying Treasures came in many sizes and were much higher quality than Fan Lin’s flying carpet. At the very least, the others didn’t have to worry about the weather conditions.
This proved that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was inferior to the Divine Sun Palace. The Divine Sun Palace’s envoy retrieved a massive feather, and it was comfortable sitting on it.
However, everyone’s hearts were in the cultivation world, and they weren’t too bothered by what they would be riding on.
The Heavenly Origin Sect’s party was the first to leave. The warship turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon. The Demonic Heart Palace and Transcendant Plume Gate followed closely behind, leaving the Dragon Battlefield.
The next time they would come back would be ten years from now.
Fan Lin gestured with his hands, and the flying carpet ascended from the ground. The twelve disciples boarded the carpet alongside Fan Lin, with him being the last to step onto it.
“Everyone, sit firmly. We will take ten days and nights to reach the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and we won’t be taking any rest. Will you all be fine with it?” Fan Lin sat at the front to block the wind for them.
“We’ll be fine.” It wasn’t an issue for them to go without food for ten days and nights.
“Alright. Let us get going!” Pointing his right hand forward, the flying carpet flew out. Sitting on the carpet was comfortable, and there wasn’t much turbulence.
After Liu Wuxie went on the carpet, he began to meditate. With enough materials, he could forge such a low-grade flying treasure, so he wasn’t as excited as everyone else.
“Brother Liu!”
When Liu Wuxie opened his eyes, he saw a familiar figure. The person who greeted him was Wen Li, who had chosen to join the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Wen Li initially wanted to join the Sky Rift Valley but was rejected by Luo Chudie. He could only enter the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with no choice, mainly because of Liu Wuxie. After all, he only knew Liu Wuxie among everyone.
Liu Wuxie nodded in response and had a favorable impression of Wen Li, who had conceded in their battle to save his true essence. This meant Liu Wuxie owed him a favor. He naturally wouldn’t mind befriending someone like that.
They might all be from different dynasties but were newcomers to the cultivation world. Thus, it was no disadvantage for them to help each other out.
Before leaving, Shui Huan had instructed him to learn from Liu Wuxie.
When everyone flew for a day and night, the flying carpet slowed down, and the twelve disciples looked at Fan Lin in perplexity.
“Senior Brother Fan, why did you slow down?” A man on the right of Liu Wuxie asked. This man was called Luo Xinde, from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
“Everyone, hold on!” Fan Lin instructed everyone. Before he could finish speaking, a warship appeared from the clouds with the intention of crashing into them.
“It’s the Heavenly Origin Sect’s warship!” Lu Xinde exclaimed, and everyone held onto the carpet tightly.
Surprisingly, the Heavenly Origin Sect’s party hadn’t left yet and was waiting for them, wanting to knock them out of the sky. Flying in the True Core realm was impossible; everyone would die if they fell from this height.
Yu Tianyi stood in front of the warship, holding his hands behind him, and Ye Feng stood beside him with a cruel smile. The warship quickly closed the distance and would soon crash onto the flying carpet.
In a perilous situation, Fan Lin\'s forehead beaded with cold sweat as he maneuvered the flying carpet to veer to the side. However, it was not a permanent solution, as the warship loomed far larger than the flying carpet and possessed offensive capabilities.
“Knock them out!” Yu Tianyi said without a hint of emotion in his eyes. He aimed to kill Liu Wuxie, and Fan Lin could leave his flying sword.
“I don’t want to die!” Everyone panicked on the flying carpet aside from Liu Wuxie. The flying carpet was on the verge of falling, like a lone rift in the raging ocean.
It wasn’t surprising that everyone would be afraid because they would die if they fell from this height.
Under Fan Lin’s control, the flying carpet could not be compared to the warship, and they were five meters apart.
Terrifying wind blew onto everyone as the flying carpet slanted by forty-five degrees, nearly causing a few disciples to fall.
“Hold onto them!” Fan Lin was furious. Several youths quickly caught onto the two falling and dragged them back to the carpet, but their faces were pale.
When the carpet and warship were about to crash, a profound seal was injected into the carpet, causing the carpet to speed up. When the carpet accelerated, the warship brushed past it, and they were only a few inches apart.
Everyone on the carpet was so close to dying. The warship was a high-grade spiritual treasure, possessing high spirituality. The impact wasn’t something the human body could withstand.
Everyone still did not understand what was happening or why the flying carpet suddenly accelerated. When everyone turned around to ensure they were safe, they finally sighed in relief.
“Yu Tianyi, what are you trying to do?!” Fan Lin roared, seeing the warship stopping and preparing for the second attack.
"Sorry about that. I lost my way earlier and nearly crashed into you guys," Yu Tianyi shrugged, causing Fan Lin\'s face to pale. This excuse was flimsy because high-grade spiritual treasures had mapping abilities, making it unlikely for someone to lose their way. It was evident that Yu Tianyi had been waiting for them there.
Liu Wuxie looked at Yu Tianyi with murderous intent on his face. They had no feud, and Yu Tianyi wanted to kill him just because he wanted to kill Ye Feng.
“This is the way to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Move!” There was nothing Fan Lin could do to Yu Tianyi, and he could only suck it up. However, the warship was in front of the flying carpet, and they had to evade it if they wanted to fly over.
Taking a detour was not only an act of humiliation for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but it also risked tarnishing Fan Lin\'s reputation if news of it spread. He couldn’t afford to bear the responsibility and had no choice but to compel the warship to make way.
“We’re resting here. If you guys are in a hurry, fly beneath us.” Yu Tianyi’s attitude made those on the flying carpet furious, and he didn’t look like a disciple from the strongest sect.
“Senior Brother Fan, does the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion have any enmity with the Heavenly Origin Sect?” Liu Wuxie asked.
Fan Lin smiled bitterly upon hearing that.
“It\'s a long story. You’ll know when we arrive at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. But the utmost importance is returning to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.”
Liu Wuxie could guess it even if Fan Lin said nothing. The relationship between the ten major sects wasn’t amicable, and they had been competing throughout the years. For example, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and Azure Crimson Gate were in a hostile relationship for generations, and their hostility couldn’t be easily resolved.
Waves of laughter echoed from the warship, a situation that would be unfavorable for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion if it persisted. While the warship could block the wind, everyone on the flying carpet remained exposed. If they allowed the situation to drag on, it would only worsen the predicament for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion\'s party. This highlighted the disadvantage of relying on the flying carpet.
