Chapter 263: Emei Sect, Moon Reflection Temple

“Charge!”

The dangers in the tunnel had been cleared. Even though there were two ninjas left, they did not pose a threat to the players.

As if they had forgotten about the tragedy just then, Soaring Tiger Sect, Hidden Soul Guild, and Beggar’s Sect suddenly changed their attitude and charged into the tunnel. They pushed forward at an incredible speed.

When they reached the ninjas’ corpses, they finally revealed their true colors!

They swept through the area.

The thirty or so corpses of the ninjas were searched through thoroughly. In fact, they even nearly crossed swords with each other over a Universe Bag. When they saw this, Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Sect stopped outside the tunnel.

In truth, all those with some semblance of intelligence could figure it out.

Knife-throwing Ninjas were the lowest grade Blessed Realm Ninjas in the royal mausoleum. It was impossible for them to have anything of value with them. Soaring Tiger Sect, Beggar’s Sect, and Hidden Soul Guild could search all they want, but not only would they not be able to obtain anything, they would even leave behind bad impressions on other sects.

Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, and Mount Hua Sect lingered behind for various reasons. They did not have the chance to search through the Knife-throwing Ninjas’ corpses nor even squeeze their way to the front.

However, not only did the three sects that rushed in first not obtain any rewards, they were even suspected by the other four sects, who wondered what they had obtained but had put away in secret.

The four sects looked down on the other sects after that, but it was only in their hearts. They simply regarded them warily for the time being.

“Hmph!”

“They’re already fighting against each other for such small benefits? So much for these three sects.”

A strange thing happened to the relationship shared between the seven great system-allocated sects in the royal mausoleum.

They had only worked together because the situation had forced them to do so.

Once they had gone through the difficulty together, they had to distribute the benefits, and most people would still look through things carefully before they made decisions.

The four sects behind did not have the energy to waste their breath to remind the three sects who did not know the logic behind distributing loot evenly to be cordial to each other. However, they believed that if they ran into similar situations later and had to fight at full strength again, they would definitely no longer fight without holding back like just then.

It looked as if a violent gust had swept through the tunnel!

The thirteen staff-using monks and Wudang Sect saw that the three sects acted like sharks who had smelled blood. They walked in front without hesitation and swiftly disappeared out of their sight. Even though the thirteen staff-using monks and Wudang Sect regarded their actions in disdain, they did not wish for the resources in the royal mausoleum to be completely taken by the three great sects.

Once the thirteen staff-using monks recovered, they wrapped their fists in their palms and saluted them before they swiftly went to chase after the three sects.

Wudang Sect went after that.

They could be considered as one of those who had managed to preserve most of their members. They had forty or so people with them, and they moved with haste to follow after Shaolin Temple’s thirteen staff-using monks. They saluted Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction before swiftly leaving the place.

Just then, it was finally noticed that once the tunnel was opened, the royal mausoleum appeared on their maps!

The tunnel was a winding path, and it was sixth-tenths of a mile. There were small halls once in a while, and they had very clear marks on the map.

They had passed the first mark just then, and there were the remains of a box that had recently been broken open. There were four Knife-throwing Ninjas’ corpses and a few Soaring Tiger Sect members’ corpses. The situation seemed to have been very chaotic and disorderly. Clearly, an unexpected encounter had transpired there.

Even though no one knew what was contained inside the box, the fight had clearly not been able to intimidate the Soaring Tiger Sect members or made them stop in their tracks. Instead, they just moved forward faster.

Based on this, it was not difficult for them to guess that there was a possibility that the item inside the box might be one of the relics of the royal mausoleum.

Once the people from Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect left, Emei Sect and Beautiful Robes Faction became the two sects that lagged behind the others.

“The people from the other five sects are gone now.”

“Glutinous Rice, what are your coursemates thinking of doing? Now, Beautiful Robes Faction is the strongest among the seven system-allocated sects. Do you intend to let them take all the resources in the royal mausoleum?”

A beautiful and coquettish mistress grinned while looking at Glutinous Rice as well as the group of boys and girls around her.

In truth, the strength that the students had displayed previously had shocked them. Regardless of whether it was their qi realm, equipment, or high-tier martial arts, all of them had stunned Emei Sect! One Circle was especially eye-catching. He had robbed the spotlight from many people and was right then being held by a group of people while they scoffed at him.

What surprised Emei Sect the most was that the students who had outstanding abilities were extraordinarily calm and did not rush to the forefront with excitement and passion just because of how outstanding they were!

When Phoenix Dances, who was the faction master, heard the question, she smiled and said, “The outstanding ones will always bear the brunt of attacks, this is something we learned from textbooks. Besides, the royal mausoleum is very big. It’s fine even if we give them some of the resources.

“This place is very dangerous and we already lost more than two hundred people in the first level. From this, we can tell that this isn’t an easy place to explore. It’s better for us if they test the waters first. Sisters, aren’t you thinking about the same thing as well?”

Right after she finished speaking, the beautiful mistresses from Emei Sect instantly spoke their minds like chirping birds.

“That’s right! You’re exactly right. We should just let those stupid men die.

“We’re of the same mind… Sister, what’s your name? Which sect do you belong to? Why don’t you just join Emei Sect?”

“That’s right. Sister, you looked really cool just now when you wielded that Silver-spiked Staff. I like it!”

The group of boys and girls around Phoenix Dances immediately felt as if they were about to suffer a mental breakdown.

Glutinous Rice had a very awkward expression. She did not know what to do with herself.

Her senior sisters actually wanted to poach her leader to their side.

However, there were plenty of people who were great orators in Beautiful Robes Faction. The disciplinary committee’s Great Beauty Little Jade had kept silent all this while, but when she heard that, she instinctively said, “Our faction master also has a master. If you truly like her, why don’t you join Beautiful Robes Faction? Then, you can be with our Big Sis Phoenix Dances every day.”

“That’s right!”

“She’s right! Come on, join Beautiful Robes Faction!”

When they heard Xu Yao’s suggestion, the eyes of the men instantly sparkled, and they released the pitiful One Circle to nod repeatedly.

Anyone could tell that Glutinous Rice’s senior sisters from Emei Sect were rather powerful. But the most striking thing about them was still their rather beautiful physical characteristics. If they joined Beautiful Robes Faction en masse, even if they could not shock the world of martial artists, they would still be a faction that would make countless men fall head over heels for them.

The mistresses from Emei Sect rolled their eyes.

“You brats. If you want our sisters to join your faction, you won’t be able to do it with just that bit of power.”

The beautiful mistress in the lead smiled like a flower.

“Each of my sisters here has already been sent plenty of invitations from many large sects, but they never accepted anyone’s invitation. Among those who came were Chivalry Sect and Towering Palace…”

When the girls and boys from Beautiful Robes Faction heard the names of the two sects, they instantly sucked in deep breaths. They were incredibly shocked!

They had naturally heard of the names of the two great sects before!

However, they did not expect that Chivalry Sect and Towering Palace would take the initiative to invite the beautiful mistresses from Emei Sect. Could it be that there were too many men in those sects?

Everyone cast their eyes on Glutinous Rice.

She nodded demurely and said with a serious face, “This is true. My senior sisters are stronger than I am, but they can’t let go of their sects. I heard that they’re ready to build a sect that solely belongs to Emei Sect.” When she said the final sentence, she cast an inquiring glance at her senior sisters.

“That’s right, but we’re lacking some resources right now. If we’re successful in this mission, we will build our own sect once we leave, and the name of our sect will be Moon Reflection Temple.”

When she said this, the sounds in the tunnel suddenly became chaotic!

They heard disorderly footsteps, as if there were countless people running toward them.

Everyone’s expressions changed!

‘Looks like something happened inside…
