Chapter 487: 484: Battle Results?_1

Most of the Yuan Mountain Gate’s disciples had died at the hands of the Fu Shui Sect, while some others were either personally killed by Yang Chen or expelled from the sect.

Hearing Yang Chen’s explanation, Mu Baisheng and the other Supreme Elders frowned in displeasure. Although they were unhappy, they didn’t direct their anger at Yang Chen.

“Sigh, sure enough there are scum everywhere, and our Yuan Mountain Gate’s disciples are no exception. They not only betrayed us but also framed others!”

“Does the Fu Shui Sect think our Yuan Mountain Gate is easy to bully?”

All the Supreme Elders were extremely indignant. Some were angry at their own sect’s traitorous disciples, and others were angry at the Fu Shui Sect for bullying them.

“Yang Chen, as the Young Sect Master, it’s not a problem for you to kill those disciples and expel them from the sect. You have the power to do that,” Mu Baisheng said slowly, “You did a good job. But what about the Fu Shui Sect? Are they just going to let it go?”

Mu Baisheng was still very puzzled.

That’s because when Yang Chen explained what had happened, he had left out the part about defeating Chen Zi’an and Han Haofeng. After all, it was too shocking and Mu Baisheng and the others were better off not knowing. But it seemed that his thoughts were a bit naïve.

With Mu Baisheng’s wisdom, hiding the truth from him wasn’t that easy.

Before he could explain, Wu Ming, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but speak up, “Sect Leader, you have no idea how heroic Junior Brother Yang Chen was.”

Wu Ming didn’t mean any harm by it. He was simply amazed at Yang Chen’s heroism. When recalling Yang Chen defeating Chen Zi’an and then Han Haofeng, who among the Yuan Mountain Gate disciples wouldn’t be excited?

He was just one of them.

Upon looking back, who among the Yuan Mountain Gate disciples didn’t admire Yang Chen?

Especially the female disciples, their eyes filled with longing, as if they couldn’t be stopped.

“Oh?” Mu Baisheng and a few Supreme Elders were admittedly curious when they heard Wu Ming’s words.

They weren’t fools, and by carefully observing the admiration the Yuan Mountain Gate disciples had for Yang Chen, they could easily guess that Yang Chen must have done something extraordinary in the secret realm.

With a face full of wry smiles, Yang Chen hadn’t expected Wu Ming’s mouth to be so loose. But seeing that he couldn’t stop him, he naturally didn’t bother trying to stop him.

On the other hand, Wu Ming added fuel to the fire, “Junior Brother Yang Chen was truly amazing. He first injured Chen Zi’an and then captured Han Haofeng. Both of them were Second Layer Yuan Martial Realm powerhouses, but they were no match for Junior Brother Yang Chen.”

“What!”

“How is that possible?”

“Yang Chen, with your half-step Yuan Martial Realm strength, defeated the Second Layer Yuan Martial Realm? Wu Ming, don’t exaggerate.”

“I’m not exaggerating!” Wu Ming said bitterly.

He felt somewhat awkward now because, for once, he had told the truth, but his elders thought he was bragging. He was telling the truth in every sentence.

How could he prove that he was telling the truth?

“I can testify that Senior Brother Wu Ming isn’t lying. Junior Brother Yang Chen indeed accomplished all of this. He captured Han Haofeng, forcing the Fu Shui Sect to leave, so that our senior and junior brothers could safely escape. Otherwise, there would undoubtedly have been heavy losses among us this time,” a disciple said.

Yang Chen cupped his hands and laughed, “Sect Leader, Elders, my senior and junior brothers are exaggerating. In fact, what I did back then was just by chance. It’s not as incredible as they make it sound.”

For Yang Chen, it was better to stay low-profile.

If he could avoid being high-profile, he generally wouldn’t choose to be so.

These Supreme Elders had a hard time believing it was true.

In fact, it was also difficult for Mu Baisheng to accept this as true. After all, the gap between the half-step Yuan Martial Realm and the Second Layer Yuan Martial Realm was still quite significant. Although many geniuses could fight against higher realms, Chen Zi’an and Han Haofeng were not incompetent fools after all.

Both of them were not ordinary Second Layer Yuan Martial Realm cultivators.

However, recalling the many incredible things Yang Chen had done so far, Mu Baisheng looked at Yang Chen with a smile, then said, “Yang Chen, no matter what, you did a good job this time.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, not expecting Mu Baisheng to actually believe it. He had wanted to blur the fact that he had defeated Chen Zi’an and Han Haofeng. Seeing how it couldn’t be blurred now, his position as the Young Sect Master was secured.

Well, since it couldn’t be blurred, there was no need for him to be low-profile anyway. With a little investigation, his achievements in the secret realm could be easily found out.

“By the way, Sect Leader… since the Fu Shui Sect dared to be so aggressive toward our Yuan Mountain Gate, are we just going to let it slide? They don’t seem to take our Yuan Mountain Gate seriously at all,” an Elder said angrily, his beard puffing up.

Mu Baisheng rubbed his eyebrows, also irritated, but soon sighed, “What else can we do if we don’t let it slide? The strength of the Fu Shui Sect is superior to ours, so what can we achieve by arguing with them? Fight? They must be eager to fight us since Yang Chen killed one of their leading disciples. They just don’t have a good reason to do so.”

“When you think about it, Yang Chen has crippled one of their Second Layer Yuan Martial Realm geniuses and killed another, overall it’s not that bad,” a few Supreme Elders muttered.

“That’s right,” Mu Baisheng agreed, “That’s why there’s no need to settle the score. Both our Yuan Mountain Gate and the Fu Shui Sect suffered losses, so there’s no need to argue over anything. However, if the Fu Shui Sect really dares to provoke us, I’ll let them know that our Yuan Mountain Gate isn’t a soft persimmon to be kneaded.”

As they listened to the elders’ discussions, Wu Ming couldn’t help but interrupt, “Sect Leader, Martial Uncles, are you all gathered here because something big has happened? I see that many other factions also have high-level officials coming over.”

“Aren’t we just afraid that something would happen to you youngsters?” a Supreme Elder said, “It’s fine to enter the secret realm, but when you leave, none of you little guys carry treasures with you. In case someone has ill intentions towards you, we old fellows still need to come out and help you.”

“Speaking of which, you youngsters can report the results of your trip to the Thousand Year Treasure now, right?”

At the mention of the “results,” a group of Yuan Mountain Gate disciples had awkward expressions on their faces.

This…

How should they report this?
