Chapter 1193: The Fall of Xuantian
Wang Liang agreed with Xia Liu's view; if everything were blamed on these hundreds of disciples because of Ye Tiande alone, they would truly be wronged...
Even if there really are negative thoughts among these disciples.
Having gone through this, no matter their future achievements, they wouldn't repeat Ye Tiande's mistakes.
People do change.
The older they grow, the more cautious they become.
Having witnessed the power of the strong.
In their future growth, they will surely walk the Righteous Path.
"Yes, indeed, however it may be, Ye Tiande's actions should be borne by him alone; the people of Xuantian Sect are innocent."
Liu Hong also stepped forward to speak.
"Right, right, I agree with Senior Xia, Sect Master Wang, and Elder Liu's opinions."
"I agree too."
"Agree!"
...
None of those who came to attack the Xuantian Sect opposed Xia Liu.
They all have their families, their sects.
Aware of the underlying significance.
Moreover, those cultivators with ill intentions in Xuantian Sect had already fled.
This made things easier for Xia Liu.
"Thank you, esteemed elders, for your kindness!"
"Thank you, esteemed elders!"
"Thank you, esteemed elders!"
...
Disciples neatly aligned in the square cheered in unison.
They were deeply moved.
In Xuantian Sect, their existence was quite awkward.
Because the Sect Master's thoughts were too twisted.
They wanted to escape here.
But had no chance.
If they had continued to develop.
After gaining power, they might have turned out like Ye Tiande.
Fortunately, they were rescued.
Rescued by Xia Liu.
If the Xuantian Sect could still exist in the future, they would surely develop in a positive direction.
"However, since Ye Tiande caused turmoil within the realm, Xuantian Sect has the responsibility and obligation to pay some compensation for this."
"That should definitely be required!"
Xia Liu's words made the remaining few elders of Xuantian Sect nod.
Being able to preserve their lives was already quite fortunate.
Even if Xia Liu and his companions decided to annex Xuantian Sect, they wouldn't refuse at all.
Because they had no right.
"Sect Master Wang, Elder Junxin, and Elder Liu, you all contributed significantly this time. While leaving some resources for the cultivators present, how about going to collect some resources yourselves?"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"I don't agree!"
The disciples of Immeasurable Sect were green-eyed upon hearing of dividing Xuantian Sect's cultivation resources.
Yet Wang Liang did not agree with Xia Liu's proposal.
"Oh? How does Sect Master Wang propose we proceed?"
Xia Liu asked in puzzlement.
"I believe the cultivation resources should all be handed over to Daoist Fellow Xia."
Wang Liang stated earnestly.
"What kind of suggestion is this? I certainly don't have the right to claim all the resources."
Xia Liu was truly startled; even though he had some connections with Qingjue and was on good terms with Liu Hong.
Wang Liang wouldn't go to such lengths, would he?
"No, no, no, Daoist Fellow Xia single-handedly broke the Xuantian Great Array, and then Sage Qingjue dealt with Ye Tiande. Both emotionally and rationally, it should all belong to Daoist Fellow Xia."
Wang Liang explained the various aspects, attributing all the merit to Xia Liu.
After listening, everyone nodded.
They all witnessed Xia Liu break the formation that had remained unchallenged for thousands of years.
And then went after Ye Tiande.
Wang Liang further elaborated, explaining how Ye Tiande was defeated and sealed by Sage Qingjue.
Thus, all credit was due to Xia Liu.
"The Sect Master's view is correct!"
"Without Senior Xia, we wouldn't have been able to get here at all."
"If we couldn't get here, we wouldn't be seeing the current scene, so Senior Xia deserves it!"
"Senior Xia!"
...
The crowd called out to Xia Liu, hoping he understood their sentiment.
"Leave some for the many disciples present, and let's all take some back; we must have some gains."
Xia Liu said very solemnly.
"Well..."
"Since Daoist Fellow Xia has said so, we should just follow obediently."
"Haha, Daoist Fellow Xia is truly amiable."
...
Wang Liang and Liu Junxin expressed their respect with cupped fists.
Xia Liu's actions showed his character and virtue.
Compared to him, their differences were vast.
Once decided, everyone followed the remaining Xuantian Sect elders to the resource vault.
Surprisingly, Xuantian Sect's resources were still intact.
However, it was notable that the precious resources had all been consumed by Ye Tiande.
According to the elders, Ye Tiande was nearly obsessive in trying to enhance his cultivation.
He hoarded the precious resources for himself, consuming them continuously until everything was gone without any progress.
This could be considered his retribution.
As a Sect Master, his selfishness was to an extreme.
If he had been able to enhance his cultivation, that would have been unreasonable.
Though lacking precious resources, Xia Liu and everyone else still collected some low-rank resources.
This trip couldn't be in vain.
By doing this, the disciples of Xuantian Sect could be taught a lesson.
The consequences of wanting to be enemies of the world are unimaginable!
Xia Liu didn't go to extremes; leaving resources meant hoping they would walk the Righteous Path in the future.
The people of Xuantian Sect vaguely understood Xia Liu's well-intentioned efforts.
As everyone left, they all bowed to Xia Liu in unison.
Everything was beyond words.
The people of Xuantian Sect will show through their actions in the future what Xia Liu and the others have given them hope for.
On a fog-enshrouded high peak, Xia Liu stood together with Liu Hong, Wang Liang, and Liu Junxin.
"Thanks to Sect Master Wang and Elder Junxin for their help this time."
Liu Hong expressed his gratitude with cupped fists.
"Not at all; I should be thanking Elder Liu, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen such a talented strong figure."
"Indeed, Daoist Fellow Xia's cultivation and talent are top-notch; being able to witness this in life makes it all worthwhile!"
Liu Junxin and Wang Liang shared their thoughts.
They sincerely admired Xia Liu.
When they were his age, they possibly didn't even possess a Divine Sense.
Unlike Xia Liu, who could frighten away a fifteenth-level Qi Cultivator with a single word —that's the difference between a genius and a regular cultivator.
"Haha, the two Daoist Fellows are flattering; I'm just an ordinary cultivator."
"Haha, Daoist Fellow Xia is too modest."
Wang Liang laughed and shook his head: "By the way, Daoist Fellow Xia, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Oh? What is it, Sect Master Wang? Please speak directly."
Xia Liu wondered what Wang Liang wanted to discuss with him.
"My Honored Master is over three hundred years old. In his lifetime, he's always wanted to find a cultivator with a Wood Attribute Origin. I'm not entirely sure of the details, but for this matter, I've traversed Huaxia more than five times with no result..."
"You're saying that your Honored Master wishes to see me?"
"Yes, my Honored Master's age is advanced. In recent years, he's unable to travel; perhaps this is his last wish while alive."
Wang Liang's face turned solemn.
His Honored Master, who had nurtured him from a young age, was growing old day by day. Completing his final wish was something Wang Liang earnestly desired.
