Chapter 263 Everyone depends on their ability
The disciples outside could not believe what they were seeing.
"This disciple from the nameless family is far too arrogant."
"You know what, some people really do have the right to be arrogant."
The disciples of the Gongsun family were furious. When had they ever been humiliated like this? Especially by an unknown family ranked at the bottom.
Moreover, if the Heart Flame is given to her, the Gongsun family will lose this grand competition among aristocratic families.
Those people hesitated.
The sword tip was only an inch from Gongsun Le's neck; a fraction more and his life would be in danger. In this critical moment, he didn't care about the Gongsun family; survival was the most important thing.
"What are you still hesitating for?!" Gongsun Le shouted, "Without me, how long can you bunch of scum last? You'll be wiped out in an instant if you encounter another powerful family."
The group, who had been hesitant, immediately made up their minds after hearing his words.
One of the tall, thin members of the Gongsun family spoke up: "We choose Gongsun Le!"
Gongsun Le breathed a sigh of relief, then said irritably, "You should have done this from the beginning..."
Before they could finish speaking, the group threw a teleportation array on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the spot.
Gongsun Le was left speechless.
Yun Fuzhao shook his head. "It seems they've made their choice."
Just as she was about to make her move, she heard Gongsun Le shout, "Don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want!"
These words piqued Yun Fuzhao's interest.
"Then what you bring out must be worth your life."
Gongsun Le nodded quickly, his fingers trembling slightly as he reached into his storage bag to search carefully.
As he took the item out, a dark glint flashed in Gongsun Le's eyes. "This, a sixth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill..."
"A sixth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill?"
Gongsun Le nodded. He was convinced that the nameless families were resource-poor and inexperienced. To them, what difference was there between this sixth-grade elixir and a priceless treasure?
"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" Yun Fuzhao didn't even bother to give him a glance. "At a time when life and death are at stake, you still want to play tricks?"
Gongsun Le looked on in surprise, but he still had to keep up the act, saying, "This, this is a once-in-a-century elixir."
Yu Zhiyue sneered, "A once-in-a-century occurrence? My master can get his hands on a ton of these pills."
"..."
With a flick of his finger, Yun Fuzhao left a trail of blood on Kai'er's neck.
Gongsun Le turned pale with fright.
"Oh dear, sorry, my hand slipped." Yun Fuzhao smiled apologetically, but showed no intention of sheathing his sword. "If you keep dawdling like this, I might accidentally chop your head off."
Gongsun Le finally realized that he was not so easily fooled.
He gritted his teeth and took out a small black box from his storage bag. "This is a treasure I obtained by chance. It may contain an unparalleled opportunity, but I have tried various methods to open it."
Yun Fuzhao took the box and looked at it. The box was very small, not even as big as her palm. She wondered what might be inside.
Having learned from past mistakes, Yun Fuzhao suspected that he wasn't as honest as he seemed.
"How do I know it's definitely filled with treasure, and not just an empty box?"
"May I die a horrible death if I'm lying!" Gongsun Le swore directly.
In the world of cultivation, one cannot make oaths lightly. Since he dared to say that, it means there really is a treasure inside.
Yun Fuzhao nodded reluctantly, "Hand over your heart fire."
"How could you go back on your word?!"
"When did I ever go back on my word?" Yun Fuzhao said innocently. "I said I would spare your life, not that I would take away your heart fire."
"..."
Gongsun Le had never seen such a shameless person in his entire life. But his life was still in the man's hands, so he could only swallow his bitterness.
He ripped the bottle off his neck.
He reluctantly handed it over to Yun Fuzhao.
After losing his inner fire, a teleportation array lit up beneath his feet.
Having received a treasure for free, Yun Fuzhao was in high spirits.
"let's go--"
Before he could finish speaking, several people emerged from the bushes.
"It seems we're too late," Yu Muqing said. "The other aristocratic family has already fled."
The members of the nameless family gasped when they saw them.
Xun Liu: "Our luck is just too bad. We just lost the Gongsun family, and now the Yu family is here."
Bu Xiuwei: "Alas, the heavens are going to destroy us."
Upon seeing that they were from an unknown family, the Yu family immediately lost half of their interest.
Yu Muqing was furious when she saw Yu Nian'er. "Look at the kind of powerful family you chose. You'll regret it one day."
"I won't regret it."
When Yu Zhiyue saw the Yu family again, she was able to face them calmly.
Seeing this, Yu Muqing stopped talking.
Yu Nian'er stepped forward and persuaded, "We don't want to hurt you. As long as you hand over your Heart Flame, you can leave here safely."
Before entering the Sea of Illusion, Yun Fuzhao didn't want to run into Yu Nian'er. But what he feared most came to pass.
“The last aristocratic family to say this to us,” Yun Fuzhao said, “has already fled in disarray.”
The Yu family couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha! I think you still haven't woken up from the sea of desire. You can say anything, no matter how blatant it is."
"Let's not waste time with them, let's finish this quickly."
Yu Nian'er said softly, "Leave it to me."
Although the Yu family was not close to her, it was undeniable that she was the most powerful among them.
"Azure Divine Phoenix".
With a soft cry, a huge divine bird appeared, nearly obscuring half the sky.
Fu Qiuling said, "This is a Heavenly Rank spirit beast; we have absolutely no chance of winning."
“Why don’t we just give the Heartfire to them?” Xunliu whispered, “just like we did last time.”
She meant to give them only eight more Heartfires.
This might be a solution.
Just as Yun Fuzhao was about to do so, he heard another series of footsteps.
Wow, that's incredible.
The Shangguan family also arrived.
"When I saw this phoenix, I knew the Yu family was here."
"I've long wanted to experience the power of these so-called Heavenly Divine Beasts."
The involvement of the Shangguan family immediately heightened tensions.
When Shangguan Yun saw Yun Fuzhao and the others, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You guys actually?"
"What's going on? Weren't they eliminated a long time ago?"
Yun Fuzhao shrugged. "I don't know, maybe the teleportation array is broken."
Shangguan family disciple: "..."
Do you think anyone will believe what you're saying?
Shangguan Yun: "You actually defeated the other aristocratic families."
He looked at Yun Fuzhao and said, "It seems I underestimated you."
Yu Muqing: "Since we've run into each other, I won't hold back."
Yu Nian'er grabbed her arm, "Let's deal with the Nameless Family first."
Having learned from her experience in the Southern Continent, Yu Nian'er has become wiser and decides to deal with the weakest of them first.
Shangguan Yun shared the same thought: "How much of their inner fire we can obtain depends on our own abilities."
