Chapter 235: Are You Ji Yang?
The Demon Spirit Ore is really exciting!
But the situation is critical now. Looking at the resolute expressions of many disciples, Ji Yang feels a little hesitant.
How can he prioritize his own interests while putting his junior brothers in danger?
Seeing that the He Dao Sect disciples would not surrender, the other Demon Sect disciples revealed faint smirks on their faces.
Not surrendering is good. If these disciples did surrender, how would they earn spiritual stones?
The reason they had not yet taken action was entirely due to Dao Wuyā’s reputation. In their minds, those who arrived first would catch more Foundation Establishment stage disciples, which is what truly matters.
“Dao Wuyā, stop wasting words with them!”
“Junior brothers can’t wait!”
Some demon path disciples shouted from behind.
Dao Wuyā only snorted coldly but did not rush to give orders.
He naturally had his own selfish motives; if he could conquer without a fight, his reputation would grow even greater.
Among the He Dao Sect disciples present, there weren’t many, and they had plenty of demonic path cultivators. Capturing one alive would mean a good number of spiritual stones.
A mere few hundred spiritual stones were beneath his notice; he wanted them all!
Of course, another reason was the newly discovered Demon Spirit Ore mine that lacked manpower; otherwise, why would he be so hesitant?
As the leader of this group, before Dao Wuyā issued his commands, the other demon path disciples could only endure on the sidelines while starting to select their targets in their hearts.
"I will give you three breaths of time. Those willing to surrender, stand here!"
"Those unwilling to surrender, kill without mercy!"
Dao Wuyā pointed at the deck of his spiritual boat and issued his final ultimatum!
His eyes were filled with coldness!
If he couldn’t obtain spiritual stones, he wouldn’t hesitate to use force!
"Hmph, saying you won’t surrender means nothing. Don’t think you can defeat us!"
"Yes, we still have Senior Brother Ji!"
"Senior Brother Ji is the talent that Heaven is jealous of, capable of matching Golden Core stage cultivators!"
"With Senior Brother Ji here, we don’t need to fear them!"
"Exactly! With Senior Brother Ji present, who would dare to act recklessly?"
Hearing Ji Yang’s name, many disciples regained their confidence, especially recalling how Ji Yang battled Golden Core stage cultivators and went against the elders in the sect.
With such a senior brother, what was there to fear?
Many demon path disciples also scanned the crowd, hoping to find Ji Yang’s figure.
A person’s shadow, the bark of a tree.
As the talent that Heaven is jealous of in the He Dao Sect, everyone naturally knew that Ji Yang was the key target for this operation.
With such a reputation and the admiration of the disciples present, it was clear that his strength must be formidable, adding a hint of caution in the eyes of many demon path disciples.
Although Spiritual Stones and Treasures are excellent, it also depends on whether one has the strength to back it up!
However, many Demon Sect Disciples scanned the crowd and did not see Ji Yang among them. Some disciples even took out images they held in their hands to compare closely, but they still could not find him.
At this moment, many He Dao Sect disciples turned to look behind them, hoping to find Ji Yang to boost their confidence.
As they looked around, confusion appeared on their faces:
“Where is Senior Brother Ji?”
“Where is Senior Brother Ji?”
“I remember he was just here!”
One disciple scratched his head, gazing at the empty space next to him, deep in thought.
“I am willing to surrender!”
Just as everyone was struggling to find him, Ji Yang, on another spiritual boat, cupped his hands towards Dao Wuyā:
“Esteemed Brother, I am willing to surrender!”
Dao Wuyā smiled and nodded repeatedly upon seeing this:
“Good, very good! If you can mine for five years, you can leave safely!”
At that moment, Dao Wuyā felt very satisfied. The first step is always the hardest; now that the first one had come forward, the second would surely follow.
“Thank you, Brother!”
Ji Yang nodded and expressed his gratitude once more.
On the other side of the spiritual boat, the sight of the highly admired Senior Brother Ji being the first to surrender left many disciples feeling disdain!
“I misjudged him!”
“I am ashamed to associate with him!”
“I never expected Senior Brother Ji to be such a person!”
Some disciples immediately responded with indignation.
But there were also disciples who still trusted Ji Yang and explained:
“Perhaps Senior Brother Ji has his reasons!”
“Yes, I believe in Senior Brother Ji!”
“Since Senior Brother Ji has surrendered, why don’t we surrender together?”
…
“You, you all!!”
Hearing such words, many disciples were furious, feeling their anger boil over.
Ruan Yong’an and He Feng looked at each other in shock, but seeing Ji Yang being the first to surrender filled them with an uneasy premonition. They couldn’t understand where this feeling came from, but in their minds, Ji Yang did not seem like the type to surrender.
Could it be that Senior Brother Ji was surrendering for the sake of mining?
Ruan Yong’an and He Feng exchanged glances, both unable to shake that thought.
But they quickly dismissed it; what talent did Senior Brother Ji have? He wouldn’t surrender for something like this—perhaps there were other reasons behind his actions.
Without Senior Brother Ji, they had already lost their only hope.
Relying solely on the disciples in this spiritual boat was definitely not enough to face the demonic path cultivators.
After a brief moment of thought, both of them realized what the other was thinking and raised their hands in unison:
“I am willing to surrender!”
Seeing that more disciples were surrendering, especially two who were close to Senior Brother Ji, many disciples showed hesitation.
“I am willing to surrender too!”
Soon, numerous disciples who blindly trusted Ji Yang began to surrender one after another!
As the situation unfolded just as he imagined, Dao Wuyā wore a proud expression.
As expected of him!
Then, as if remembering something, Dao Wuyā stepped forward and addressed the He Dao Sect disciples:
“I heard that there is a Talent Jealousy among you named Ji Yang. Where is he?”
The remaining disciples who had yet to surrender were filled with shame and anger upon hearing this. They had once taken pride in Ji Yang, but now they fell silent.
Seeing the situation, Dao Wuyā scoffed coldly:
“Don’t want to speak? That’s fine…”
“Cough, Brother, that would be me.”
Hearing the voice next to him, Dao Wuyā was momentarily stunned. He then turned to look at Ji Yang, who had a hint of embarrassment on his face, and asked with surprise:
“You are Ji Yang?”
“If none of the other disciples are Ji Yang, then it must be me.”
Dao Wuyā still found it hard to believe and asked again:
“You are the one with Talent Jealousy?”
“Those are just rumors among the sect disciples. My talent is nothing noteworthy.”
Seeing Ji Yang’s admission and that no one stepped forward to deny it, Dao Wuyā’s expression grew complicated. He then took out an image from his hand and carefully compared it with Ji Yang in front of him before finally confirming Ji Yang’s true identity.
It really was him!
Remembering that Ji Yang was the first to surrender, even Dao Wuyā felt a little disoriented.
Wasn’t it said that this person had a strong sense of justice?
Wasn’t this person the leading senior brother during this training?
After a moment of confusion, Dao Wuyā pushed the thoughts aside and merely assessed Ji Yang’s realm, feeling a hint of disdain in his eyes.
What Talent Jealousy? Now, he was nothing more than at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment!
What good is talent if it means nothing?
Heaven Demon Sect had their share of talented individuals who had come from humble beginnings, but very few could truly grow.
To call such a disciple a Talent Jealousy was truly embarrassing for him. He felt too ashamed to call himself a genius!
