Although the disciple in front of them had gained very little, and it made the Giant Sword Pavilion a laughing stock among its fellow cultivators, it was clear that the other party would not keep anything for themselves.

After checking his storage bag, the elder of the Giant Sword Pavilion didn't want to make things difficult, so he quickly called the next person to let the matter drop.

Unexpectedly, this disciple was even worse off, empty-handed and possessing nothing.

"Reporting to the elder, this disciple was also robbed by people from Qimen Valley a few days ago and was severely injured. I have no choice but to use the remaining time to heal my wounds."

Upon hearing this, the Qimen Valley elder who was supervising from the side looked somewhat uneasy. Although competing in the secret realm was allowed, it was rare for it to be said in public.

Because if someone steals something, they'll usually be killed on the spot. Why would they let the person come out and talk nonsense? Wouldn't that damage the relationship between the two sides?

What he didn't know was that this was just the beginning. With the people from the Giant Sword Pavilion taking the lead, disciples from various sects who had gained little or nothing came forward one after another to recount their experiences of being robbed by the people from Qimen Valley.

"The Crimson Fire Spirit Ginseng, which we obtained after losing two junior brothers and was over a thousand years old, was stolen by him."

……

"Our earth vein spiritual milk, which is over a thousand years old, weighs more than five pounds. We paid such a high price, but he took advantage of our vulnerability and stole it."

Suddenly, the previously unknown Qimen Valley became the target of everyone's criticism.

The Ziyang Sect suffered the most losses, with nearly twenty people being robbed. Other sects had at least seven or eight people robbed.

Moreover, the other party was a single person, so they strongly suspected that someone at the Qi Refining level or above had disguised themselves and infiltrated the place.

"Well done, Qimen Valley! I think you're deliberately trying to oppose our Ziyang Sect." Lei Yunhe's face darkened even more. Originally, the Ziyang Sect suffered the most losses, but the remaining forces were the ones that were robbed the most.

Ruan Qinglan quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Lei, as you just heard, the robbers only wanted money, not lives."

"Clearly, the loss of your Ziyang Sect disciples has nothing to do with our Qimen Valley."

"It seems we should thank you for sparing our lives at Qimen Valley," Lei Yunhe said with a forced smile.

Ruan Qinglan was speechless. Why was there such a disciple in the valley that even she didn't know about? Could it be that the Valley Master had also kept it from her? That didn't make sense.

Feeling that the chances of the Giant Sword Pavilion defending its title were in jeopardy, Xiong Kai chimed in, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Ruan said before that Qimen Valley also had a chance; it seems he had already foreseen it."

You can say that it's okay for my disciples to steal things, that's allowed by the rules. But you can't say that my valley secretly sends people above the Qi Refining level to infiltrate.

Ruan Qinglan quickly retorted, "Fellow Daoist Xiong, please be careful with your words. Who could possibly blend in with all these Nascent Soul stage seniors? Your previous words were nothing but a joke."

"Besides, who can be sure it was definitely done by a disciple of Qimen Valley? If the other party put on our Qimen Valley disciple's clothes, it would be easy to impersonate them."

"Then why was your Qimen Valley the only one not robbed? And he even used an earth-attribute technique. Who else besides your Qimen Valley could defeat elite disciples of the same level from other sects with only Qi Refining stage cultivation?" Xiong Kai retorted.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong originally wanted to stand up and say that she had also been robbed by the Giant Sword Pavilion, but she couldn't explain why everyone else was dead and she was the only one alive, unless she revealed that her senior brother.

Therefore, they had no choice but to stop.

"Perhaps those who were robbed were all killed by him," Ruan Qinglan continued to argue.

"Impossible. Although that person is hateful, he still kept his promise. He only wanted money, not lives."

"Perhaps he has a grudge against our Qimen Valley, which is why he ruthlessly attacked our disciples. Besides, we know the strength of our disciples very well; there is absolutely no one among them who can defeat several Qi Refining Perfection experts."

Ruan Qinglan remained adamant in denying it, but secretly harbored resentment in her heart.

Since you've already taken action, why leave so many potential problems? Such womanly compassion—what kind of immortality are you cultivating?

Now that Qimen Valley has become the target of everyone's criticism, it will definitely affect Qimen Valley's future relationship with the Five Sects. It's truly a love-hate relationship.

Lin Qingtong assumed that her senior sister Ruan was saying this on purpose, because she had personally seen that senior brother and was certain that he existed.

If that senior brother wasn't from Qimen Valley, why would he save him? And why would he kill Wang Yufeng without considering offending a Golden Core cultivator, just to avenge his fellow disciples in the valley?

"Let's not argue for now, let's wait for the results," Xiong Bi said at the right moment.

When the Nascent Soul spoke, the others immediately shut up and continued the statistics.

The disciples from the other five sects who came out later were mostly hiding in the back because they were afraid of being held accountable by their sects. Therefore, they had very little to offer, or even nothing at all.

On the other hand, although most disciples in Qimen Valley did not gain much, everyone did.

All eyes were drawn to the last disciple.

The disciple instantly realized something and quickly said, "No, it wasn't me."

As he spoke, he quickly took out the contents of his storage bag, which contained less than ten jade boxes.

"Then someone must not have shown all their spoils," Xiong Kai said decisively.

However, this is also permitted by the rules.

Because there are bound to be various battles in the secret realm, all the valuables, including magical artifacts, on the bodies of some of the killed disciples will definitely be taken by the other side.

If we reveal all of this in public, wouldn't that be blatantly telling the other sects that you killed their people? This is not conducive to unity among the sects.

"Hmph, since Qimen Valley has already won, it doesn't matter whether they give it up or not," Lei Yunhe sneered.

Now that things have come to this, Qimen Valley, which never expected to win, had no choice but to accept this unexpected windfall. However, they were not happy because they had offended the other five sects severely, especially since the sect leader of Ziyang Sect was still alive.

"I thought the Ziyang Sect was well hidden, but I never expected that we would all fall into the trap of Qimen Valley. Fellow Daoist Ling, what a cunning plan." Xiong Bi said with a forced smile.

Ling Liyue, a Nascent Soul cultivator from Qimen Valley, said helplessly, "Sect Master Lu, Fellow Daoist Xiong, and all fellow Daoists, Qimen Valley won this time by sheer luck. Thank you for your kind offer."

"However, it was not our intention for our disciples to plunder so brazenly. But now that the results are in, I won't say much more, but I still hope that compensation can be given to each sect."

"According to the rules, the winning side can send three early-stage Golden Core cultivators into the secret realm to gather materials for one day. If you fellow cultivators trust me, you can tell me the location of the spiritual materials you failed to gather, and I will have them gather them and deliver them to you as an apology. How about that?"

"Our Ziyang Sect need not trouble Fellow Daoist Ling," Lu Zongyan, who had remained silent until now, directly refused.

His original intention in this trip to the secret realm was to reduce the attention paid to the Ziyang Sect by the other sects. Now that Qimen Valley has finally come up, how could he let them easily resolve their differences with the other sects?

Moreover, his words led Xiong Bi and other Nascent Soul cultivators to speculate that what the Ziyang Sect wanted was still unobtained in the secret realm, and because it was too precious, they did not want outsiders to know.

"Sect Master Lu is right. Our Giant Sword Pavilion would not dare to trouble Qimen Valley." Xiong Bi was also concerned about his reputation. He originally thought that the Giant Sword Pavilion could defend its title, but it was Qimen Valley, which had never been considered a rival, that stole the limelight.

If I were to ask them to help me gather spiritual materials, wouldn't I have no shame?

Compared to the Giant Sword Pavilion and the Purple Sun Sect, the Myriad Talisman Sect, the Heavenly Puppet Sect, and the Heavenly Imperial Sect were not so particular, since they didn't really expect to win.

Besides, everyone inside was fighting over things, and the disciples of their own sects must have fought over Qimen Valley's things, and some were even more ruthless than those Qimen Valley disciples, silencing them.

Now that Qimen Valley is willing to spend time and effort to bring out what I need, why not? What benefit could I possibly gain from antagonizing Qimen Valley?

Ma Ke hid in a corner and watched everything unfold silently, only thinking about getting the show over as soon as possible.
