Chapter 314 Rewards

After a long while, the sea finally calmed down.

The figure of Danhai Demon Lord Duan Huiyao appeared beside Duan Huiye.

"Couldn't they have kept them?"

Duan Huiyao said.

Duan Huiye shook his head slightly: "The two of us are too evenly matched, it's impossible for us to determine a winner."

"I see..."

Duan Huiyao nodded.

"Next, whoever merges the two world origins first and comprehends the origin of all worlds will win the next battle between him and me."

Duan Huiye said, "In our next encounter, if I win, he will die. If he wins..."

"At that time, not only will I be killed, but the entire Duan clan may also be slaughtered. Wansheng Prefecture may also return to an era of division and war."

Duan Huiye's eyes narrowed slightly.

"After all these years, has his hatred not subsided even slightly?"

Duan Huiyao frowned.

Although he was far less dazzling than Duan Huiye and Yu Zhiyin in that era, and his friendship with them was not as deep, he and Yu Zhiyin were still considered friends.

However, as Duan Huiye and Yu Zhiyin broke off their relationship, Duan Huiyao and Yu Zhiyin also lost contact.

"When will we face off again?"

Duan Huiyao asked.

"It could take as little as three years, or as long as a hundred years."

Duan Huiye said, "It all depends on who comprehends the origin of all realms first."

"Um……"

Duan Huiyao glanced at the composed Duan Huiye and knew that the future of the entire Duan clan rested in Duan Huiye's hands.

"Let's go back to Wansheng Prefecture."

Duan Huiye said, "Being able to confirm Yu Zhiyin's condition this time is a great achievement. He had been hiding in the shadows before, but this time we have at least figured out some of his details."

"Next, you should quickly choose a successor for the Danhai Demon Sect. After a year, when the True Source is restored, you can enter the outer world again."

"understood."

Duan Huiyao nodded.

……

Time flies.

Four months have passed.

Xu Ning and his group finally returned to Wansheng Prefecture.

Besides them, the other two fleets also returned one after the other, both of them achieving great victories.

"General Xu, and all my deputies, farewell."

Upon arriving in Wansheng Prefecture, Xu Ning, Yu Qiao, and Xu Qian bid farewell to each other.

Previously, Xu Ning and Yu Qiao's performance had earned them Xu Qian's favor and the respect of the other deputy generals.

On the return voyage, Xu Ning spent a considerable amount of time on the central warship, spending time with Xu Qian and the others.

"Once the succession of the Danhai Demon Sect is over, you can come to the capital to find me."

Xu Qian extended an invitation.

"Alright, General Xu."

Xu Ning and Yu Qiao responded.

The two also held Xu Qian in high esteem.

Xu Qian was not only powerful, but also held a high position. He was not only a general of the imperial court, but also a half-disciple of a grandmaster.

After a brief exchange, the two went their separate ways.

Xu Qian's fleet included forty-one seed members of the Danhai Demon Sect, eight of whom perished in the battle.

Although the mortality rate is acceptable, each seed is an elite of the Danhai Demon Sect, so the Danhai Demon Sect has suffered a considerable loss.

However, the Demon Lord of Danhai had anticipated these losses.

In his view, this was perfectly acceptable.

After the two sides parted ways, the imperial troops returned to the capital, while Xu Ning and his group returned to the Danhai Demon Sect.

However, the thirty-odd seeds did not return together, but instead traveled in twos and threes.

Although they are all seeds, their relationship is not very close in private. Moreover, they are currently waiting to be evaluated for their battle merits and to determine their future status in the sect, making them competitors.

In contrast, Xu Ning and Yu Qiao, the two fiercest competitors, got along quite well and returned to the Danhai Demon Sect together.

As their relationship deepened, Xu Ning's previous aloofness towards Yu Qiao melted away considerably.

"Junior Brother Xu, you're back!"

As soon as Xu Ning returned to the island of the Danhai Demon Sect, Gu Songying came to meet him.

He was also an extremely competent housekeeper for Xu Ning.

"Senior Brother Gu."

Xu Ning and Yu Qiao parted ways and returned to their small house at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Xu Ning return safely, Gu Songying also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also somewhat worried that something unexpected might happen to Xu Ning during this operation.

"Junior Brother Xu, is everything going smoothly?"

Gu Songying asked.

"There were some hiccups, but overall it's okay."

Xu Ning responded, "My performance was pretty good."

"That's good!"

Gu Songying was delighted upon hearing this.

Xu Ning is a humble person. If he said that, it means he must have performed exceptionally well in the assessment.

In this way, Xu Ning has a very good chance of becoming a sect elder.

Gu Songying herself will also benefit from her relationship with Xu Ning.

Over the next few days, Xu Ning rested and recuperated. After traveling for so long, Xu Ning was also slightly tired.

Finally, that day arrived.

A disciple came looking for Xu Ning, asking him to gather at Island Heart Peak, saying that the sect leader, Dan Hai Demon Lord, had issued a summons.

Xu Ning immediately set off.

When Xu Ning arrived at the island's central peak, he discovered that, in addition to himself, five other people had arrived ahead of time.

Among them, Xu Ning knew Yu Qiao and Duan Chaomian.

I vaguely remember the other three, but I haven't gotten to know them well.

"So, these six of us are the best six selected in the initial round..."

Xu Ning also had some guesses in her mind.

Then, the group waited a few more moments.

Suddenly, a black mist flashed across the island's central peak.

Then, Danhai Demon Lord Duan Huiyao appeared on the island's heart peak.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

The six people bowed in unison to express their respect.

"The six of you performed exceptionally well in this operation to wipe out the Hidden Sect."

Duan Huiyao said, "Next, the six of you will compete in the final round. The one who performs best will inherit the position of sect leader of the Danhai Demon Sect, while the other five will become sect elders, replacing several elders who are about to step down."

Upon hearing this, all six of them were startled.

Regardless of the final outcome of the competition, all six of them will at least obtain the status of an elder.

"In the next six months, you will undergo your final assessment. I am still discussing the assessment details with the other elders, and I will inform you within two weeks."

Duan Huiyao said, "In addition, you have made meritorious contributions in battle, and the imperial court has also rewarded you."

As he spoke, Duan Huiyao threw out six storage rings, which landed in front of everyone.

"These storage rings contain resource rewards from the imperial court and supplementary rewards from the sect."

Duan Huiyao said, "The amount of resources in these storage rings is not the same. Xu Ning, you received the most reward. When Xu Qian reported this, he gave you a very high evaluation. Moreover, your achievements are indeed impressive. You actually captured a Dao Realm ninth level elder of the San Yin Sect alive."

"You did a good job. Don't let Xu Qian down next time."

In front of others, Duan Huiyao praised Xu Ning privately.
