Chapter 765: Chapter 765

A cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone cultivators.

Shen Lin was unharmed this time, but that doesn’t mean he will be next time.

"Yes, I was wrong, master. If you had let me use the Fire Qilin Dharma Nature, I would have finished them off long ago."

Shen Lin’s face was full of grievance.

"A mistake is a mistake. You won’t get a reward this time, and if you commit the same error again, the punishment will be harsher."

Shen Long said solemnly, flicking his sleeve. Five storage bracelets flew out, heading towards Shen Lie and the other four.

Shen Lie, Shen Xiao, Shen Mei, Shen Ao, and Shen Xin all got their share, only Shen Lin did not.

"Master, the seventh brother did wrong this time, but he also put in a lot of effort. It’s my fault for not teaching him well. Punish me instead!"

Shen Lie spoke up to plead for Shen Lin.

"I am also to blame. I should have stopped the sixth brother."

Shen Ao and the other two also started pleading for Shen Lin. After assuming human form, they often trained together, and their bonds were deep.

"When you’re at fault, you must accept the punishment. Shen Lie, you were in command of the battle, so you are at fault too. Your reward is halved. Everyone, you may disperse!"

Having said that, Shen Long and Chu Buyu left the Myriad Beasts Tower.

"Third brother, it’s my fault. I’ve let you down."

Shen Lin was full of guilt.

It was bad enough that he didn’t receive a reward; half of Shen Lie’s reward was also deducted.

"It’s my fault for not teaching you properly on normal days. Let’s split my reward. I’ll give you half,"

"I’ll also give you half, sixth brother,"

Shen Xiao also took out part of his reward.

"Little sixth brother, I’ll give you half of my reward,"

Shen Ao and the other two took out half of their rewards and gave them to Shen Lin.

"What are you all doing?"

Shen Lin was very touched.

"We’re all one family; let’s split the rewards evenly!"

Shen Mei and the others agreed, and they all took out their rewards and divided them evenly.

"Two wrongs don’t make a right. If you recklessly confront an enemy who is driven to a dead end next time, I will still report it to the master,"

Shen Lie said earnestly.

"There won’t be a next time. I will strictly follow the combat rules,"

Shen Lin promised, patting his chest.

"Then that’s good. Let’s review the process of the fight and summarize what we did poorly and what we could improve,"

Shen Mei and the others did not object and began to share their experiences.

In Tianxuan Hall, Wang Tianxin sat in the main seat, with Wu Xuan and over twenty Unity Cultivators seated in chairs.

"This battle cost us sixty-two Void Refining Cultivators, forty-seven severely wounded, seventy-five with their physical bodies destroyed, one Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivator fallen, and two thousand seven hundred thirty-five Soul Transformation Cultivators dead, with over five hundred severely injured,"

A slender woman in a purple dress began her report.

"Changying, did any new experts emerge on their side?"

"A group of new experts appeared, among them seven are rather formidable. Six are Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators and one is at the Middle Stage. We are currently investigating further,"

Wang Changying reported.

"Young Friend Shen and Friend Chu performed quite well! They slew thirteen Void Refining Cultivators,"

"The Bloodvine Clan will definitely dispatch their elites to guard against them. Next time they face the enemy, they won’t be able to achieve such great results,"

Five-Flame True Monarch analyzed.

"Since the disciples of Qianling Sect are so strong, Madam Liu, why doesn’t your Qianling Sect send more Void Refining Cultivators to the front line?"

"No problem at all! However, your Yinluo Sect will have to cede one-fifth of your territory to us, Qianling Sect. We’ll take over your duties, and you can comfortably stay back and cultivate,"

Liu Xin said sarcastically.

"All right, everyone say less. Take your frustrations out on the Bloodvine Clan. With a formidable enemy before us, let’s stay united and face outward,"

Wang Tianxin mediated.

"Taoist Friend Wang, after losing more than a hundred Void Refining Cultivators in one battle, why does the Bloodvine Clan continue to deplete their forces against us here?"

Wu Xuan questioned, puzzled.

Since the battle had begun, the Bloodvine Clan had lost over two hundred Void Refining Cultivators, yet not a single Unity Cultivator had perished.

"It’s unclear. We are also concerned that they might be playing tricks, so we’ve sent people to investigate this matter. The Bloodvine Clan alone is no match for our Human Clan, and without the intervention of the Crystal Clan, they are not our opponents,"

Wang Tianxin explained, seemingly struck by a thought, and said, "The Bloodvine Clan won’t retreat so easily. Everyone, go back and get some rest. It’s good we didn’t have to confront Teng Ying this time, but next time we might not be so lucky."

Wu Xuan and the others agreed and departed one after another.

Bloodvine City, Bloodvine Hall.

Teng Ying sat in the main seat, with more than twenty Unity Cultivators seated on chairs, expressions varying.

"After tallying up, this battle claimed the lives of one hundred and nine Void Refining Cultivators. Fifty-two Void Refining Cultivators were critically injured, eighty-five Void Refining Cultivators had their physical bodies destroyed, four Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators fell, and four thousand five hundred thirty-five Soul Transformation Cultivators met their end. Over three hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators were seriously injured,"

Xiao Yue slowly reported.

"Have any new powerhouses emerged from the Human Clan?"

"Twelve, eleven of whom are at the Hollow Phasing Late Stage, and Shen Long at the Middle Stage,"

Xiao Yue reported truthfully.

From this, it was clear that in her eyes, Shen Long was already on par with those at the Hollow Phasing Late Stage.

Teng Ying furrowed her brows; both sides had sent reinforcements, but the Human Clan had evidently sent far more experts.

This was unavoidable; in terms of reproductive capability, the Human Clan was the strongest. Moreover, Human Cultivators from all over the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, including those from the Thunder Continent, would come to support their kin on the Green Lotus Continent.

"Shen Long has considerable potential; we absolutely can’t let him grow stronger. Next battle, assign a few Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators to deal with him,"

"Then who will deal with those Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators? We don’t have that many Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators to begin with; we can’t always expect my clansmen to confront them, can we?"

Ba Xin expressed his displeasure.

"As long as your Giant Spirit Clan’s members can hold the Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators off for a while, after taking care of Shen Long, it won’t be too late to come and support the Giant Spirit Clan,"

"Hmph, and why isn’t it your Tianyuan Tribe’s members who hold off Shen Long for a while, deal with the other Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivators, and then come to support you?"

Ba Xin frowned as he spoke.

"Our Hua Clan doesn’t have many skilled fighters; being able to hold off a few of the Human Clan’s masters is already quite an accomplishment,"

Gu Yun said, looking troubled. She perceived Shen Long’s strength and didn’t want to send her people to their deaths.

"Alright, enough from each of you. Shen Long’s Spirit Beast Battle Array is formidable, but he’s not without weaknesses. Once his Spirit Insects and Spirit Beasts are taken care of, he’s no longer to be feared. I will draw forth experts to handle him; the rest of you go back and rest. Xiao Yue, arrange for the production of more Illusion-Breaking Pills. Otherwise, we can’t deal with Shen Long,"

Xiao Yue promptly agreed.

Ba Xin and others left one by one, each returning to their own dwelling.
