Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1169: Half A Ring

Senior Brother Li stared at the fallen Yuan Venerate Kongwu while lost deep in thought. In the past, he had hated Yuan Venerate Kongwu to the core.

He would definitely have made Yuan Venerate Kongwu beg for mercy if he had been the one to defeat him. Now, he suddenly had no idea how to act upon seeing Yuan Venerate Kongwu in such a sorry state.

His resentment for Yuan Venerate Kongwu had disappeared completely.

Yuan Venerate Kongwu would never recover from this loss, and Luo Yunyang would become a shadow in his heart.

If Yuan Venerate Kongwu had known earlier, he might not have challenged Luo Yunyang no matter what.

“Junior Brother Luo, what shall we do next?” Senior Brother Li, who stopped staring at Yuan Venerate Kongwu, asked Luo Yunyang solemnly.

Luo Yunyang toyed with the Sky Seal Jade Plate in his hand and said, “We have obtained the Sky Seal Jade Plate, so we’ll head back.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Senior Brother Li asked, “Junior Brother Luo, since you’re so fast, why don’t you help us get more Sky Seal Jade Plates?”

“Firstly, your fellow disciples will be very grateful to you if they can enter Boundless Sky Palace and they will owe you a big favor. Secondly, although there are many opportunities in Boundless Sky Palace, these opportunities are extremely concentrated. Those that have an advantage are usually the sects that send the biggest number of people into Boundless Sky Palace.”

“In the past, we and the Dakongfan Sect shared the lead, but Yuan Venerate Kongjing did not play according to the rules this time. As a result, we will be at a disadvantage if we enter.”

Luo Yunyang was moved by the second point made by Senior Brother Li. Even though he felt that he would suffer a lot if he entered Boundless Sky Palace on his own, what Senior Brother Li had said was spot on. It was very appropriate to strengthen the Taixu Sect when the Dakongfan Sect was obviously stronger than them.

After all, this wasn’t too difficult and it could guarantee that he would have the biggest advantage after entering Boundless Sky Palace.

“Am I doing too much for this?” Although Luo Yunyang had made a decision, he did not want to offer his services right away.

Certain things should not be agreed hastily, as they would be taken for granted. People would only appreciate something after suffering enough.

Senior Brother Li wasn’t an ordinary person, so he could tell from Luo Yunyang’s hesitant attitude that his suggestion was promising. Thus, he straightforwardly said, “Junior Brother, I knew you wouldn’t believe me without proof. How about this? After you obtain the extra Sky Seal Jade Plates, you can even hold an auction inside the Taixu Sect. This way, you will not only receive favors from others but also extra benefits.”

Luo Yunyang was impressed by Senior Brother Li. The man was smart enough to know what he was thinking. Thus, his impression of Senior Brother Li became much better.

Senior Brother Li felt that it had been no burden to come up with this idea. On the contrary, he believed that the disciples who had the chance to bid would thank him.

If he hadn’t persuaded Luo Yunyang to obtain more Sky Seal Jade Plates, the other disciples would not even have been able to enter Boundless Sky Palace.

Luo Yunyang continued to hesitate for some time before he finally agreed to Senior Brother Li’s request. After having the experience of dealing with Yuan Venerate Kongwu, their plan went very smoothly by relying on Luo Yunyang’s extraordinary speed.

Because they didn’t want to fall out completely with the Dakongfan Sect, Luo Yunyang merely knocked out the disciples of the Dakongfan Sect before stealing everything they had on them.

Zheng Rulai and others were anxiously waiting for the return of Luo Yunyang and Senior Brother Li. They were actually feeling pretty relaxed when both Luo Yunyang and Senior Brother Li left.

After all, most of them had nothing to do with this. They all knew that they were not destined to enter Boundless Sky Palace.

Although they were somewhat unwilling to accept this fact, they had no way of changing the situation. Even Junior Brother Qin’s good mood returned after a short while.

“Why aren’t they back yet?” Zheng Rulai was very worried, as he could already sense through the Sky Seal Jade Plate in his hand that the opening time of Boundless Sky Palace was imminent.

If Boundless Sky Palace opened before the two of them returned, he would have no choice but to enter Boundless Sky Palace with Yuan Venerate Huang Yue.

Although Yuan Venerate Huang Yue’s cultivation wasn’t weak or bad, Zheng Rulai still hoped that he could enter Boundless Sky Palace with Senior Brother Li, who was the strongest among the other disciples.

Yuan Venerate Huang Yue was at a loss. Although she felt that Luo Yunyang wouldn’t fail, she was also hoping that Senior Brother Li and Luo Yunyang wouldn’t return.

She would be entering Boundless Sky Palace with Zheng Rulai as long as those two did not return on time. However, she felt a faint longing for Luo Yunyang, who had given her so many surprises, to enter Boundless Sky Palace.

After all, Boundless Sky Palace wasn’t Boundless Taixu. It wasn’t so big, and all the supreme treasures would need to be contested. They would be at a serious disadvantage if only she and Zheng Rulai entered Boundless Sky Palace.

“Boundless Sky Palace will open in 15 minutes!” Zheng Rulai glanced at Yuan Venerate Huang Yue. “Junior Sister, get ready!” Zheng Rulai made a decision after he realized that Senior Brother Li was not going to make it in time.

Yuan Venerate Huang Yue nodded. Right now, she felt that nothing she might say would sound good.

Just as the surrounding atmosphere became tense, two figures emerged from the distance and rushed toward them.

At the front was Luo Yunyang, but both his and Senior Brother Li’s expression seemed a little odd.

“How was it?” Yuan Venerate Huang Yue felt her heart squeeze a little when she saw Senior Brother Li and Luo Yunyang return. Hence, she sounded anxious when she asked this.

Senior Brother Li ignored Yuan Venerate Huang Yue and instead glanced at Zheng Rulai before speaking. “Senior Brother Rulai, what would you offer in exchange if you were given a Sky Seal Jade Plate?”

Zheng Rulai was stupefied. He already had a Sky Seal Jade Plate, so why would he need more? However, after recalling how he had obtained his Sky Seal Jade Plate, he hesitated for a second before replying, “I’d exchange it with my best treasure, of course.”

When Zheng Rulai answered, Senior Brother Li looked over to Junior Brother Qin and asked, “What about you, Junior Brother Qin?”

Junior Brother Qin had been very sad to give away his Sky Seal Jade Plate. He had just accepted this fact, so it was akin to rubbing his wound when he was asked this question. Hence, he replied vaguely, “If I could, I’d exchange it with all I have. Senior Brother Li, can you exchange it with me?”

Junior Brother Qin regretted saying this immediately!

After all, his Sky Seal Jade Plate had been given to Zheng Rulai. Speaking this way was as good as offending Zheng Rulai, wasn’t it? However, this had already been said so he could only bear the consequences, no matter how regretful he was.

Instead of getting angry, Senior Brother Li beamed. “Awesome! Since Junior Brother Qin said so, that would be great.”

After he said that, he turned to the others and asked, “Do all of you also agree with what Junior Brother Qin said?”

All the core disciples immediately realized something fishy was going on but were very eager to enter Boundless Sky Palace.

After hearing what Senior Brother Li said, they all said the same thing. “We share the same sentiment as Junior Brother Qin.”

Zheng Rulai and Yuan Venerate Huang Yue both glanced at Senior Brother Li at the same time. They wanted to know exactly what Senior Brother Li was up to.

“If all of you say so, then I shall not stand on ceremony,” Senior Brother Li said with a laugh. “You will all give everything you obtained after entering Boundless Taixu to Junior Brother and then go collect your Sky Seal Jade Plate from him.”

Junior Brother Qin had said those things in a fit of pique, as he did not think that he could really exchange anything for a Sky Seal Jade Plate. Hence, he was delighted right away when he heard Senior Brother Li’s words.

“Senior Brother Li, are you kidding me?”

“Why would I joke about something like this? This time, Junior Brother Yunyang and I did a great deal of work. We actually obtained eight Sky Seal Jade Plates.”

Senior Brother Li was excited as he spoke and even said in admiration, “Junior Brother Yunyang also took great risks, so I think we must not shortchange him after receiving such a great opportunity.”

Although Senior Brother Li said this in a very righteous manner, everyone present could see his intention to please Luo Yunyang.

Zheng Rulai understood Senior Brother Li personally. Although Senior Brother Li had been close to him all along, he had never seen Senior Brother Li try to please him by making a great effort.

If Luo Yunyang hadn’t made Senior Brother Li a significantly large offer, then Luo Yunyang must have done something to force Senior Brother Li to change his attitude.

Could Luo Yunyang truly be that incredible in the realm without sky and dao laws?

However, Zheng Rulai did not think too much about this. Instead, he was the first to reply. “Junior Brother Qin gave me his Sky Seal Jade Plate. I will buy it for him in return.”

After saying that, Zheng Rulai waved his sleeve and a universal storage bag flew toward Luo Yunyang quickly. Inside the universal storage bag, Luo Yunyang could sense a dozen pieces of sky law fragments.

These fragments were much more powerful than those obtained by Luo Yunyang himself.

However, what shocked Luo Yunyang the most was not the fragments, but a worn-out ring that was half-intact.

Although the ring did not seem to have changed in any particular way and half of it had been lost, Luo Yunyang had a strange feeling when he looked at it.

This feeling was very vague, but it made Luo Yunyang feel that he had seen this ring before in the past.

Unfortunately, he did not know when or where he had come across this ring before.

Or rather, the half-intact ring had an aura that was very similar to something else.

While he was pondering this, other disciples of the Taixu Sect also began to bring their loot over to Luo Yunyang.

In their opinion, the Sky Seal Jade Plate was much better compared to what they had obtained. It was worth trading everything to get a Sky Seal Jade Plate.

Luo Yunyang took out a stack of Sky Seal Jade Plates and distributed them after conveniently storing away all the sky law fragments he had received. When the last disciple received their Sky Seal Jade Plate, they were astonished to see that Luo Yunyang still had two!
