Chapter 85

Shen Ziwei swallowed nervously. After witnessing such an explosive scene, he feared that the two sects might team up to beat him up, so he quickly fled to inform his senior brother.

At this moment, the three sects were gathered together, discussing how to get through the next two days.

Without any alchemists and with their medicinal pills nearly exhausted, they couldn’t hold out much longer and would have to use their identity tokens to exit early if things continued.

Shen Ziwei rushed over, speaking rapidly, “Senior Brother, earlier, Si Miaoyan and the others from the two sects were eating something disgusting together. I’m not joking.”

“…”

“How outrageous! They didn’t even include me.”

After his outburst, Duan Hengdao became the center of attention from everyone.

Qin Huai’s brow twitched. “Have you lost your mind too?”

It was one thing for the Changming Sect members to go crazy, but why was Duan Hengdao acting like this?

Could insanity be contagious?

Duan Hengdao shrank his neck and raised his hand. “Sorry, I misspoke. You all carry on.”

Actually, it was also because of these chief disciples. Over the past few days, they had frequently dragged him into criticizing Ye Qiao’s supposed immorality. Not speaking up would make him seem out of place, so he had been following along with the criticism. This time, he had simply let something slip.

Qin Huai retracted his incredulous gaze. His focus wasn’t on the trivial matter of whether the two sects were eating something disgusting, but on another issue. After pondering for a moment, he pointed to the map location. “So, Bishui Sect and Changming Sect have indeed collaborated.”

It was close to what Song Hansheng had guessed.

With Shen Ziwei’s precise information, they needed to think about how to negotiate with the Bishui Sect about collaboration. With the three sects’ rankings pretty much stable, they still needed the medicinal pills provided by the alchemists to continue surviving in the secret realm.

Duan Hengdao asked, “Should we discuss collaboration with the Bishui Sect?”

“Hah,” Qin Huai sneered, thinking of Xue Yu’s warning made him grit his teeth. “Collaborate? Shen Ziwei, provide the location. We’ll go directly to snatch their mustard seed bags.”

There was nothing more to discuss. After dealing with the Changming Sect, Qin Huai had become disillusioned with the idea of mutual benefit.

If they had the ability, why bother negotiating with a group of alchemists?

They could just snatch their mustard seed bags and leave.

This bandit-like approach was supported by Song Hansheng.

He wasn’t opposed to some underhanded tactics; as long as it didn’t harm his interests, using devious methods to win was a skill.

“Today, we’re not fighting.” Song Hansheng was very clear about his goal. “We’ll just seize the mustard seed bags.”

“After we grab them, we’ll run. We’ll split the medicinal pills inside evenly.” He added, “We’ll provide cover for you.”

The talisman cultivators only needed to find suitable positions and provide cover, and the Bishui Sect’s weak and helpless alchemists wouldn’t even be able to react.

Ye Qinghan nodded. “Alright.”

All three votes were in agreement.

“Ah, they’ve turned bad. They’ve changed; they’re no longer the innocent and kind people they used to be.”

“It’s quite rare to see the three sects forming an alliance. Ye Qiao is directly opposing the entire world now.”

On the forum, some bored cultivators listed out the names of the alchemists Ye Qiao had harmed, with the three chief disciples from these sects being the most pitiful.

Thus, they were enthusiastically referred to by other cultivators as Victims F3.

Some people enjoyed stirring up trouble: “The Victim F3 have first formed an alliance. Fellow cultivators, where is your sense of morality? Where are your boundaries? Where are the applause?”

“It’s over, it’s over, the Bishui Sect is doomed.”

“Just seeing the chief disciples of these three sects makes me want to laugh.”

“From a distance, it’s a gathering of heroes; up close, it’s F3 holding a meeting.”
