Chapter 650: What Kind Of Swordsmanship Is This?
Translator: TYZ Editor: X, TYZ
A group of people was sitting on the ground . The atmosphere was tense, and no one was talking . The fact that they ended up empty-handed after suffering such heavy losses dealt a huge blow to these prideful and arrogant "new Masters . "
Fu Sisi was sitting on a boulder that was of half a man's height . Similarly, her facial expression did not look too good .
At this point in time, they were engulfed an intense sense of failure . Their heads were hanging down dispiritedly . Only at this moment did they realize they were just a bunch of ten to twenty year old youngsters .
Master's Glory boosted their strength and allowed them to become Masters, but it couldn't increase their maturity or wisdom . When they won, they easily became arrogant . Similarly, when they lost, they easily felt dejected .
"We will split into two groups now . Gui Hu, bring 20 men with you . Your mission is to search for She Yu . The demonic girl is severely injured and definitely can't run far . Right now, she is most probably hiding somewhere . If you find her, try your best to capture her alive . If you can't capture her alive, kill her . We definitely can't let her survive . "
Fu Sisi raised her head as her tone became firm . After witnessing the sacrifice of her father and the great changes that happened to her family, she became much more mature than the others . Due to this intrinsic quality, Madam Ye appointed her as the vice division leader of the Sky Leaf Division .
Fu Sisi knew that she had to raise everyone's morale now . Failure wasn't that scary at all . It wasn't too late for them to bounce back now . After realizing the mistakes that she had made, Fu Sisi reorganized her train of thought very soon .
"The rest will follow me . Hmph, Wan Shenwei is just a spent force now, and he still dares to escape? Ye Baiyi is very important to us, so we can't afford to lose him!"
Everyone became re-energized and stood up one by one .
… . .
Gong Peiyao looked at the distant Skyheart City as a tinge of sadness flashed across her eyes . Beside her, Han Lu was able to sense her gloominess . He opened his mouth, but nothing came out . He did not know how to console her .
The image of indifferent faces and the spreading pool of blood beneath their feet appeared in his mind .
Sky Leaf Division!
A tinge of fear streaked across the depths of his pupils . His palm that grasped his sword hilt tightened subconsciously, causing his fingers to turn white .
They were a group of cold-blooded killing machines . In their eyes, human lives were no different from weeds .
Soon, Han Li regained his composure . After becoming a Master, his mental state became more and more cultivated with each passing day . He was no longer as rash as he was in the past . Furthermore, he knew Peiyao would be safe in Skyheart City even though she was a hostage . From his understanding of Madam Ye, he knew she would take good care of Peiyao and try her best to win Peiyao over . Madam Ye was someone who was willing to pay any price to gain talents .
If someone tried to harm Peiyao, they would have to step over his dead body first .
Han Li was absorbed in swordsmanship . He had no interest in politics, and all he wanted was to live a simple life . As long as Peiyao was safe, he would be at ease . Peiyao probably wouldn't be happy though . Fortunately, Peiyao always understood the big picture and had extremely strong adaptability . With regards to this aspect, Han Li might even lose out to her .
He smiled and shifted his gaze back to the distant Skyheart City . He did not know whether or not it was because he had not returned for a very long time, but he found the previously desolate and ruined Skyheart City to be prosperous now .
Gong Peiyao thought of the news that she had just received, and her spirits rose significantly . "The elementalists obtained a great victory at the front line . The God Wolf and Silver Frost Divisions were slain to the last man, and Helian Tianxiao was executed . Such an unprecedented triumph . Ai Hui and Sister Xueman are really formidable . "
"That's really a great victory!" Han Li was emotionally moved .
With the destruction of the God Wolf Division, the Silver Frost Blood Division, and the Ardent Flower Blood Division, this implied that one-sixth of the Blood of God's elites were annihilated . Even with the Blood of God's massive military strength, this was still considered a heavy loss for them .
"Their impressive performance is… not something good in Madam Ye's eyes . " Gong Peiyao looked slightly worried now .
Han Li remained silent .
Suddenly, Gong Peiyao asked curiously, "Let me ask you, between Ai Hui's group and the Sky Leaf Division, who do you think is more powerful?"
After thinking for a while, Han Li replied, "Sky Leaf Division . "
"Why the Sky Leaf Division?" Gong Peiyao wasn't satisfied with Han Li's answer .
"In the history of the Avalon of Five Elements, there has never been a combat division that was entirely made up of Masters . Any single member of the Sky Leaf Division is more powerful than an ordinary Master . I can't think of anyone that can defeat the Sky Leaf Division," Han Li muttered .
Gong Peiyao gave a childish snort and continued, "In any case, I believe in Ai Hui and Sister Xueman . "
Ai Hui…
When Han Li thought of Ai Hui, a trace of longing flashed across his eyes . For some reason, the battle fervor within his body began to stir . His loss to Ai Hui was precisely what allowed him to pry into the profundity of swordsmanship and become a Master .
He knew he would be extremely delighted if he had another chance to fight with that fellow again!
Han Li could not help but grip the hilt of his sword tightly . After a while, he heaved a breath of air . This breath of white air was shaped like a sword and refused to dissipate . His facial expression loosened up gradually .
It was a pity there that were no swordsmanship experts in Skyheart City .
After he became a Master, a brand-new world of swordsmanship appeared before him . There were countless unknowns waiting for him to explore . Right now, he hoped that he could encounter other master swordsmen and exchange pointers with them .
Previously, he still hoped that his swordsmanship could improve with each passing day . Now, he no longer counted on it .
The success of Master's Glory had paved a bright path for all young elementalists . This was a path allowed them to obtain power, strength, status, wealth, and glory rapidly .
As a traditional elementalist, Han Li instinctively loathed Master's Glory . From his perspective, Master's Glory was no different from the Beast Venom Temple's blood refinement .
Before they reached the city gate, there was already an elementalist waiting for them .
Han Li did not know who this elementalist was and found him to be extremely unfamiliar . However, Han Li knew that he was from the Sky Leaf Division by the energy undulations around his body .
The elementalist had an indifferent look on his face . He bowed slightly and spoke with a polite tone, "Miss Peiyao and Master Han, welcome to Skyheart City . Madam knew that both of you would arrive today, and she is very happy . She even personally involved herself in finding a residence for you . If you have any requests, feel free to tell me . Madam has prepared a welcoming banquet for both of you, and various family heads are invited to it . Your luggage will be sent to your residence by the butler . Please follow me to the banquet now . "
A wide smile appeared on Gong Peiyao's face as she bowed and replied gently, "Sir, thank you for leading the way . "
"You're welcome . "
The elementalist's face was still indifferent as usual . He turned around and led the way .
As they entered Skyheart City, Gong Peiyao and Han Li looked at each other . They could see the shock in each other's eyes . Both of them had come to Skyheart City before, so they knew what it looked like in the past . The current Skyheart City looked as though it had been reborn . There was a huge number of shops, and the streets were bustling with people and activity .
Was this… the economic climate of a free market nation?
Gong Peiyao's feelings were complicated .
The banquet was very grand . Those who attended it were all important figures . The seniority of many of them actually required the Gong Residence's family head to receive them . By custom, a junior like Gong Peiyao was only fit to serve them . From the atmosphere of the banquet, one would definitely not be able to tell that this banquet was prepared for a hostage .
