20: Keep your reward safe and return to your clan.

"Oh, should we make our move here, or wait until they return before acting?" the Sect Master of Ziyan Sect asked from the side.

He also couldn't bear to lose those sect resources; if the other two factions had won them, he would have had nothing to say.

After all, the strength of the Three Great Sects was similar; trying to cause trouble for the others would only result in mutual destruction.

But now that Qingtian Sect, this suddenly emerged sect, had won, his heart was filled with unwillingness.

Therefore, since Xuanlei Sect Master had this idea, he fully agreed.

Anyway, if their Three Great Sects joined forces, Qingtian Sect would be meat on a chopping block.

Xuanlei Sect Master glanced at the Sect Master of Ziyan Sect, a smile playing on his lips. "Since things have come to this, and since both of you share this idea, let them return first. Then, we can find an excuse to exterminate them, which will help maintain our positive image of so many years."

"Alright, Xuanlei Sect Master, we'll follow your lead. After all, once Qingtian Sect is destroyed, the goods will still be ours," the Sect Master of Ziyan Sect replied.

"Hmm, exactly. I wonder what Qingtian Sect's foundation is like? Will destroying it yield even greater rewards?" Sect Master of Huangji Sect asked with a sly smile on the side.

"Haha, don't worry, Sect Master of Huangji Sect. Since Qingtian Sect can cultivate several such monstrous disciples, their sect resources must be considerable. Destroying them will definitely bring huge rewards," the Xuanlei Sect Master laughed wildly.

"Good, then it's settled. We will destroy Qingtian Sect and split its resources equally," Sect Master of Huangji Sect said, also smiling.

In the midst of their voice transmission, the group confirmed their alliance to exterminate Qingtian Sect.

Then, acting as if nothing happened, they sat in their chairs, quietly closing their eyes to rest.

"Heh heh! Interesting, truly interesting." Jiang Chen, who was drinking tea not far from the group, showed a trace of amusement on his lips.

These few Little Venerables using Voice Transmission in front of him, a Great Emperor, wasn't that the same as talking right next to his ear?

It was laughable that these people thought their plan was flawless and were dreaming pipe dreams.

Li Big Saber glanced at Xuanlei Sect Master and the others, shaking his head in amusement.

If Jiang Chen could hear, he, a Peak Great Emperor, could naturally hear as well.

However, since Jiang Chen hadn't spoken, he couldn't make a move either.

After all, they were only using Voice Transmission and hadn't acted yet; killing them without reason wouldn't be appropriate.

Soon, an Elder of Xuanlei Sect announced the news of Xuanlei Sect's surrender to the entire audience.

Following this, the Elders of Huang Ji Gate and Ziyan Sect also announced their surrender one after another.

"Hiss, the Three Great Sects actually all surrendered? Doesn't that mean the Out of Body Realm competition is over?"

"That was too fast! I didn't even get to enjoy it fully."

"Huang Ji Gate and Ziyan Sect are too useless! They surrendered without even fighting. How can they claim to be one of the Three Great Top Sects of Yunzhou?"

"Yeah, at least Xuanlei Sect had three disciples die in battle, but those two didn't even step onto the stage. They must be terrified of death."

"Heh heh, Qingtian Sect is still the most awesome! As soon as their three disciples appeared, they scared the Three Great Top Sects into surrendering. Amazing."

Upon hearing this news, the entire audience, composed of members from large and small sects, burst into an uproar.

This year's competition was truly too fast. It could be said that it ended almost as soon as it began.

The entire Out of Body Realm competition only lasted about ten seconds.

However, with Qingtian Sect emerging as a dark horse, this wasn't too much of a surprise.

After all, the combat power of Qingtian Sect's disciples was truly too strong. It was understandable that the Three Great Sects didn't want their disciples to go to their deaths.

"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Gu, they all surrendered, so does that mean we won?" Qin Fei'er, who was still on the stage after hearing the sects announce their surrender, asked Night Owl and Gu Chen.

"Yes, Junior Sister Qin, let's go back to Master," Gu Chen replied, flying down the stage gracefully.

"Senior Brother Ye, don't just stand there, come down quickly." Qin Fei'er flew off the stage, and seeing that Night Owl hadn't moved, she couldn't help but call out.

"Hmph, how boring. I haven't killed enough yet," Night Owl said, walking down the stage reluctantly.

He had been ready for a massacre, but he didn't expect these sect disciples to be so afraid of death, causing him to have no fun today.

After Night Owl and the others stepped off the stage and returned to Jiang Chen's side.

The Elders of the three sects who were presiding over the Out of Body Realm competition approached Jiang Chen, holding a Storage Ring.

"Congratulations to your esteemed sect for winning the Out of Body Realm champion title. This is the reward, please accept it," the presiding Elder presented the Storage Ring to Jiang Chen.

"Hmm, Big Saber, put this reward away." Jiang Chen did not reach out, but instead instructed Li Big Saber to keep it.

Although he didn't care for these items, since they were won, he might as well take them. They might be useful later for cultivating Outer Sect Disciples.

"Yes, Sect Master." Li Big Saber bowed and grabbed the Storage Ring from the presiding Elder's hand.

At this moment, the Sect Leaders of the Three Great Sects who were seated nearby stood up with smiles and walked over.

"Sect Master of Qingtian Sect, congratulations! The disciples cultivated by your esteemed sect are too powerful. My Xuanlei Sect willingly admits defeat."

"Indeed, indeed! My Huang Ji Gate feels shamefully inadequate."

"Alas, truly there is always a higher peak beyond the current one. It is our Ziyan Sect's great fortune to witness the geniuses of your esteemed sect."

The three, including Xuanlei Sect Master, had incredibly sincere expressions.

Anyone who didn't know the truth would genuinely believe they were a group of upright gentlemen.

"Heh heh, I accept your concession, I accept your concession. If there are such good opportunities in the future, remember to notify me again," Jiang Chen replied with a smile while sipping his tea, without standing up.

Although he knew the few harbored malicious intent, one must catch the thief with the loot. Since they hadn't acted yet, there was no reason to strike.

So, playing around with these few ants was quite amusing.

"Uh... ha ha, yes, yes. If this happens again in the future, we will certainly notify Sect Master of Qingtian Sect," a trace of anger flashed in Xuanlei Sect Master's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile.

Sect Master of Huangji Sect and Sect Master of Ziyan Sect also put on a friendly appearance. "Of course, next time we will definitely invite Qingtian Sect again."

"Alright, since the competition is over, This Sect Master will take his leave."

Jiang Chen stood up and scanned the three with a cordial smile. "If the three of you have time, please be sure to visit my Qingtian Sect as guests."

After speaking, he left them with a meaningful smile and walked toward the exit of the Competition Arena.

Liu Shu and Night Owl and the others followed closely behind him.

Li Big Saber was the last to leave. He grabbed Jiang Chen's Treasure Seat, put it into his Storage Ring, and then turned to follow Jiang Chen and the others.

"Hmph, we will be going to Qingtian Sect very soon. I wonder if you'll still be able to smile then?" Xuanlei Sect Master looked at the receding figures of Jiang Chen and the others, a sneer covering his face.

"Let's go, Xuanlei Sect Master. We should go back and discuss what excuse to use and gather our forces quickly to destroy Qingtian Sect,"

"Exactly, lest delays cause complications."

Sect Master of Huangji Sect and Sect Master of Ziyan Sect urged him from the side.

"Mhm, let's go!" Xuanlei Sect Master agreed and also walked toward the exit of the Competition Arena.

The two Sect Masters of Huang Ji Gate walked alongside him.
