266 What’s Wrong With These People?
The Misty Illusory Manor was a little anxious. After all, if the Dao Seeking Sect backed out, it would mean that they would lose a powerful ally. It would be even more challenging to tame the flood dragon with just them.

“Don’t you want the flood dragon? That’s a demonic beast with a bloodline of dragon blood. If we can successfully capture it, wouldn’t it be…”

The sect master of the Misty Illusory Manor felt a little regretful the moment he said that. He seemed to be too anxious. As expected, he saw the plastered smile on the sect master’s face.

“It’s good for us to be able to tame a flood dragon. If I remember correctly, your Misty Illusory Manor is also fully prepared to tame a flood dragon, right?”

Everyone was well aware of their little schemes. They wanted to make use of each other and borrow each other’s strength to be the ones who would benefit from the situation in the end.

“There’s only one flood dragon. Who knows who will get it in the end? Rather than betting on this 50% chance, it’s better to be steady and stop now. At least we didn’t lose a lot.”

These people had already lost a lot. To get Ye Xuan to save people, they offered many good things. What they had to do now was to stop the loss in time.

If they had not been tempted by greed in the beginning, the series of events that followed would not have happened. It was not too late to realize this.

After understanding all these twists and turns, the Dao Seeking Sect and the others let go even more thoroughly. The Misty illusory Manor and the other major forces looked at their backs as they walked away, and their expressions instantly turned dark.

Without Ye Xuan having to do anything, this group instantly became scattered sand. The remaining forces naturally no longer considered it, as so many people had been defeated.

With just these people, they were delivering food to the flood dragon. Moreover, the demonic beasts had also spoken. If there were a next time, it would not be so easy to calm down.

They didn’t dare to gamble on the consequences and couldn’t afford to gamble now.

“Are we going to give up?” One of them asked weakly.

“What else can we do? Do you think we can deal with the flood dragon with our strength alone? It’s simply impossible.”

“We couldn’t even deal with it before, let alone now. We should accept this result.”

After all, they had only wanted to obtain the spiritual stones and the flood dragon, but the price they had paid was too great. It had even exceeded their expectations. They could only watch what they almost got fly away.

They could only blame themselves for underestimating the flood dragon’s strength. It had already given them a thunderous and powerful strike when they had just arrived, causing their confidence to crumble and their fighting spirit to disappear.

If they hadn’t lost so miserably, as long as they had a little hope of winning, perhaps with their greed and evil nature, they might gather their troops again and plunder everything they wanted at all costs.

At that time, it would only end with both sides suffering.

It was just that Ye Xuan’s grasp of the weakness of human nature was too accurate. These people lost miserably and almost lost everything. They didn’t dare to gamble a second time with the foundation of their sects for a century.

Thus, there was no need for those people in Changping to worry about the attitude of the people in Jingdu.

Ye Xuan was in a good mood, but some people weren’t. For example, the Dao Seeking Sect. Although they had voluntarily withdrawn, thinking about the things they had lost, they still felt pity for it.

“What exactly did you guys experience in Changping? Those demonic beasts didn’t do anything to you, right?”

The sect master of the Dao Seeking Sect asked those grand elders and other people. His original intention was to show some concern, but these people all stammered and didn’t speak for a long time.

Even now, those grand elders had yet to recover. They closed their eyes, and the scene of mining appeared again.

Being oppressed by the demonic beasts and digging in the mines like ordinary people had become a dark history in their lives.

How could these people with high status have the nerve to speak? Not only did they become prisoners, but they also did such a humiliating thing, having no choice but to bow to the demonic beasts and become the ones being dominated.

These people were not willing to say anything for the sake of their reputation. If words got out, they feared they would no longer gain respect.

That was why they had already agreed in Changping that everyone must keep their mouths shut and not reveal a single word. They had also bribed Ye Xuan not to tell anyone.

This strange action naturally attracted the attention of the sect master of the Dao Seeking Sect. He wanted to get to the bottom of this.

In the end, one of the grand elders said in a pathetic state, “Sect master, please don’t ask anymore.”

Looking at their gloomy expressions, many guesses appeared in the Dao Seeking Sect’s sect master’s mind. ‘Could it be that these grand elders had suffered a lot of inhuman torture at the hands of the demonic beasts?’ The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

At the same time, they feared the flood dragon even more. If it weren’t for his unfathomable strength, these grand elders wouldn’t have suffered such a vicious attack.

Moreover, they did not look like they were hurt. It was all mental torture. What a cruel method, what a vicious heart! But they could only bear it.

Who asked them to run into the demonic beast’s territory? After all, these people’s cultivation had not declined, but their spiritual power was temporarily sealed. They could do nothing about it.

The sect master didn’t dare to ask any further, afraid he would expose these people’s scars again. He just kept filling in the gaps in his brain. If he was a little unwilling, he was glad he had withdrawn in time.

The flood dragon’s methods were too strange and unfathomable, so it was better not to provoke it.
