Chapter 220: Competing for Merit (2)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

At this point, Han Huaiping’s eyes revealed a hint of envy.

Presumably, the reward this time would be very strong.

Otherwise, he would not have asked the sect master to personally reward him.

He only heard that the Cangzhou cultivators had pacified the corpse tide. As for the killing of Perfected Shenjue, the Qianyuan Sword Sect did not publicize it.

After all.

Four hundred years ago, the Qianyuan Sword Sect had already announced that Daoist Shenjue had been executed.

If he were to overturn the previous statement now, wouldn’t he be slapping himself in the face? This kind of thing naturally couldn’t be publicized to the public.

However, although they could not publicize it, the contributions of the Cangzhou cultivators were real.

The actual reward would not be less.

Punishing and rewarding was the foundation of the Qianyuan Sword Sect’s attack on the Yun Nation.

When Ye Wudao abandoned the city and fled, the Qianyuan Sword Sect did not execute him. To some extent, it was a huge blow to the reputation of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

Moreover, it caused all the cultivators of the Azure Continent to be cursed.

This time, whether it was to appease the Cangzhou cultivators or to suppress the Third Elder’s power in the sect, the sect master’s faction would reward the Cangzhou cultivators wantonly.

The spirit ship’s speed was extremely fast.

About an hour later.

Chen Daoxuan arrived at the palace where he was staying.

The Cloud Top Immortal Palace where the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was located was not so much an immortal palace as a huge floating immortal city.

Within this floating immortal city.

There were countless immortal palaces in the floating mountains. There were even cranes flying in the clouds. As far as the eye could see, there was a silver waterfall rumbling.

According to Han Huaiping’s description, that silver streak was a celestial river.

How could this scene be an immortal sect? It was exactly the same as the Heavenly Court in Chen Daoxuan’s memories.

Perhaps.

For the mortals living on earth, the existence of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was not much different from the legendary Heavenly Court.

In the blink of an eye.

Ten days passed.

On this day.

Rays of light flew towards the palace.

In the Cloud Sky Palace.

Waves of extremely powerful aura pervaded the palace.

Chen Daoxuan and the other Cangzhou cultivators walked into the hall together.

“Junior Chen Daoxuan (Zhou Minghao…) Greetings, Sect Master!”

Everyone stood in the center of the Immortal Palace and bowed, not daring to look directly at the ethereal figure on the cloud bed.

“No need for formalities.”

“Thank you, Sect Master!”

Everyone stood up straight again.

Only Chen Daoxuan was surprised. He had never known that the sect master of the Qianyuan Sword Sect was actually a woman.

But in this situation.

Although Chen Daoxuan was surprised, his expression was no different from an ordinary person.

To the left of the sect master of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, a young Taoist coughed lightly and said slowly,””Sect Master, the Cangzhou cultivators have contributed to pacifying the Cangzhou corpse tide this time. They should be rewarded!”

Hearing this, the sect leader nodded.””What do the elders think?”

“Sect Master,”

An old man with white hair and beard stood up.” As we all know, the Cangzhou cultivators lost the Southern Mountain’s City, but they were not punished. This time, the Cangzhou corpse tide was quelled. At most, the merits and demerits offset each other. What reward is there?”

“Elder Wu, you’re wrong!”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged cultivator stood up and frowned.”The Cangzhou cultivators lost the Southern Mountain’s City. As the general, Ye Wudao has already been punished.

Moreover, the cultivators who pacified the corpse tide in Cangzhou were not the same cultivators who guarded the Southern Mountain’s City. Wouldn’t Elder Wu’s words make the Cangzhou cultivators feel cold?”

Hearing this.

The Nascent Soul called Elder Wu’s eyes flickered, and he sat back down silently in the end.

Inside the Immortal Palace.

Everyone whispered to each other and finally reached an agreement. They cupped their hands and said,”1’11 follow your orders, Sect Master.”

“Alright, since everyone has agreed to the reward, then we will reward them according to the frontline battle merit system.”

The sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect made the final decision.

But this time, someone stood up.

This person was none other than Ye Wudao, the ancestor of the Ye Family who had gone to the Qianyuan Sword Sect to seek help.

Ye Wudao stood up from the Third Elder’s side and cupped his hands.”Sect Master, I have a different opinion about this reward.”

Instantly.

The entire hall became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Third Elder Ye Yin’s expression was indifferent, as if the scene before him had nothing to do with him.

The people from the sect master’s faction were also looking coldly at Ye Wudao and Ye Yin at this moment.

Even the people from the neutral faction in the sect were dissatisfied with the Third Elder’s faction.

“Speak!”

This time, the sect leader’s voice was no longer gentle. Instead, it revealed a trace of coldness.

Ye Wudao gritted his teeth and said arrogantly,””! believe that my Ye family should be the first to pacify the corpse tide in Cang Prefecture!

“In the battle of the Azure Continent Immortal City, my Ye family contributed the most. In terms of the number of cultivators participating, my Ye family had the most cultivators participating. In terms of the various resources consumed, my Ye family was also responsible for almost all of them.

Therefore, I think that our Ye family should be the first to pacify the corpse tide!”

“Third Elder, what do you think?”

The sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect didn’t even look at Ye Wudao.

Instead, he looked at the silent Ye Yin and said slowly.

Ye Yin’s expression did not change in the slightest. He cupped his hands and said indifferently,”It’s all up to Sect Master to make the decision.”

Below.

When the other Cangzhou cultivators heard Ye Wudao’s words, they were so angry that their bodies trembled.

Zhang Xuanling stood out from the crowd and said loudly,””Sect Master, 1 have something to say!”

The sect master of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect nodded.”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Zhang Xuanling cupped his hands and glared at Ye Wudao.” May 1 ask Fellow

Daoist Ye, where were you during the battle to defend the Azure Continent Immortal City a month ago?”

Ye Wudao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked at Zhang Xuanling with a dark gaze and said,””Junior, you dare to question this old man?”

“This Zhang is not afraid of facing a horde of hundreds of millions of corpses, so why wouldn’t I dare to question a coward who fled at the last moment?”

“You’re courting death!”

The word ‘coward’ had thoroughly agitated Ye Wudao, but he finally understood what kind of situation they were in.

If he dared to make a move in public today, even his father, Ye Yin, would not be able to protect him.

Ye Wudao took a deep breath, then looked at the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect and said,””Sect Master, a month ago, I saw that the Azure Continent’s corpse tide was huge, so I had no choice but to go to the sect to ask for help.

Fortunately, I was able to call for help in time, allowing the Sea-suppressing Hall Master to rush to the Azure Continent Immortal City at the critical moment and quell the zombie tide in one fell swoop.”

As he spoke, Ye Wudao cast a grateful look at the Sea-calming Palace Lord.

When Qin Zhan saw the look he gave him, he suddenly laughed.

This smile made Ye Wudao’s heart tremble.

Just as Ye Wudao was at a loss, a voice came from his sea of consciousness,””Boy, keep jumping, your death is not far away.

When Ye Wudao heard the voice of the Sea-calming Palace Lord, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Just as Ye Wudao’s face turned pale.

The next moment, Ye Yin’s voice appeared in Ye Wudao’s sea of consciousness:

“Please don’t scare my son, Hall Master Qin.”

Hearing this, Qin Zhan looked deeply at Ye Yin and his son before turning his head away.

Compared to Zhang Xuanling, who was straightforward, Zhou Minghao was much calmer.

He knew that, to some extent, the Ye family was indeed fighting desperately to resist the zombie tide.

However, the Azure Continent Immortal City was owned by the Ye Family. How could they not risk their lives?

However, this point was destined to not be made public.

This was because Zhou Minghao could not prove that if the zombie tide had attacked Guang ‘an City, the Ye Family would not have been so desperate.

If he said it now, Ye Wudao would definitely bite him back.

He stood out from the crowd and cupped his hands.”Sect master, seniors, fellow Daoist Ye is right. The Ye family is indeed working hard, but hard work doesn’t necessarily mean high merit.

According to the frontline battle merit system, battle merits are mostly related to the results of the battle. May I ask Fellow Daoist Ye, how many zombies did the Ye Family exterminate and how many Zifu Disciples did they kill in this zombie tide?”

“This…”

Ye Wudao was stunned by Zhou Minghao’s sudden attack and was rendered speechless.

“It seems that Fellow Daoist Ye doesn’t know, but it doesn’t matter. As the commander of the Cang Prefecture coalition army this time, 1 have a military merit book here. It records in detail the number of zombies killed by all the Cang Prefecture cultivators.”

Zhou Minghao glanced at Ye Wudao with disdain and took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

This jade slip was the military merit book he had mentioned.

Sect Master, seniors, please take a look!”

Zhou Minghao displayed the detailed military merits recorded in the jade slip in front of everyone.

In the next second.

A screen appeared in front of them. On the screen, Chen Daoxuan’s name was at the top.

Following closely behind his name was the number of zombies he had killed in this zombie tide..
