Chapter 398: In a Difficult Position
“Wang Hongyu, the people outside can see everything you do. You’ve completely disgraced the Fire Sect!”
Nalan Lengling’s eyes flashed with a fierce glare. She could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
“Nalan Lengling, pay attention to your attitude when you speak. Otherwise, you’ll be disqualified. And you, Wang Cui, I advise you to stay in the team obediently. If you perform well, you might even get a share of the Blood Source Ore.”
Wang Hongyu looked at the two girls with an arrogant attitude.
“After the secret realm trial ends, Wang Hongyu’s status as an inner disciple will be abolished. Elders, do you have any objections?”
Outside the secret realm, looking at Wang Hongyu’s actions, blue veins popped up on the great elder’s forehead. He was on the verge of exploding from anger.
“Great elder, Wang Hongyu is just young and arrogant. Isn’t this punishment a little too severe?”
“Splitting up the team and using his power for personal gain. Is this just him being youthful and arrogant?”
Everyone was speechless.
In fact, before the secret realm trial began, Wang Hongyu’s master had explicitly warned him to behave himself and not go too far. At that time, Wang Hongyu had readily agreed, but now he had done such a stupid thing. This made his master feel a little embarrassed.
As for the other two sects, they even treated the Fire Sect as a joke.
However, Victor did not think that there was anything wrong with leaving the team.
The team of 20 people had uneven strength, and they were not united. For such a situation, he was unwilling to stay even if he was begged to.
As for Wang Hongyu, let him be complacent for a while. Sooner or later, Victor would make him pay the price.
After leaving the team, the first thing Victor had to do was to confirm the surrounding environment.
Unlike Wang Hongyu, Nalan Lengling, and the rest, this was Victor’s first time entering this secret realm. He did not know much about the environment.
Fortunately, before entering the secret realm, the great elder had informed Victor of the location where the Blood Source Ores were densely distributed.
At the same time, Wang Hongyu.
Due to his identity as the leader, he had full authority to command this operation. Therefore, when he encountered any dirty and tiring work, he would let only Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling do it. The others would sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. This made Nalan Lengling extremely furious.
However, at the crucial moment, it was Lian Hua who stopped her.
“Nalan Lengling, calm down. Since Wang Cheng has said it, he will make Wang Hongyu pay the price. He will not go back on his words.”
“But this Wang Hongyu is too much!”
“The elders have ordered him to be the leader. This is something that can not be changed. We can only endure it.”
“The two of you, you’re supposed to be scouting. What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want to be disqualified?”
“Wang Hongyu, you’d better get first place. Otherwise, I won’t spare you after the secret realm trial is over!”
“I don’t need you to worry about that. Hurry up and scour the way.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hongyu sneered and turned around.
Before long, Wang Hongyu and his group arrived at the Blood Source Ore. However, the label was wrong. There were pitifully few Blood Source Ores here, but they wasted their time travel here.
“Wang Cui, Nalan Lengling, the two of you go collect the Blood Source Ores and continue heading east.”
“Wang Hongyu, aren’t you going too far? Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the elders?”
Finally, someone in the team could not stand Wang Hongyu’s wicked face and jumped out to criticize him.
“Wan Yongjun, do you also want to be like Wang Cheng and get out of the team?”
“If you have the ability, then chase us all out!”
Discussions gradually began to ring out. Other than Wang Hongyu’s small group, everyone stood on the opposite side of Wang Hongyu.
“Are you guys trying to rebel?!”
“Wang Hongyu, don’t think that we will be afraid of you just because you’re waving a chicken feather as a token of authority. If the worst comes to worst, we will just quit. Do you really think that you are an important figure? You’re just garbage that only knows how to embarrass the sect!”
“That’s right! We quit! What right did you have to make us work our ass off just to let you refine the Blood Source Ore? This isn’t fair!”
“Wang Hongyu, look at you. Using your power for personal gain is simply shameful!”
For a moment, more than half of the people expressed their dissatisfaction toward Wang Hongyu. One after another, they expressed their want to leave the secret realm. Seeing this scene, Wang Hongyu finally panicked.
“I was just joking with my fellow disciples. Wang Cui, Nalan Lengling, come back and rest. The rest of the disciples will replace them.”
Wang Hongyu knew very well that if this group of people really left, his master would not be able to protect him. He had no choice but to give in under pressure.
“Wang Hongyu, you’re really despised.”
Nalan Lengling sneered. Just as she was about to leave with the Blood Source Ore that she had collected, she received Victor’s voice transmission.
“Stay in the team. I’ll bring the Fengyue Sect and Hualin Sect over.”
Hearing this, although she was extremely unwilling, Nalan Lengling and Lian Hua still stayed behind.
Seeing that everyone’s anger had not subsided, Wang Hongyu could only chuckle, he said, “Fellow disciples, I admit that I was too narrow-minded just now. As long as we work together, we might be able to win first place in the secret realm trial. When the time comes, we will reward you according to your merits.”
“Do you think that we will believe you? A leopard can not change its spots!”
“How about this? After you guys collect the Blood Source Ores, leave half for yourself and hand the rest over to me. How about that?”
“Then, you can use the sect’s rules to take all the Blood Source Ores away?”
“I promise I won’t do that.”
Unlike the Fire Sect, which was facing many difficulties from the start, the other two sects had already begun to excavate the Blood Source Ores.
At this moment, Victor was far behind the Fire Sect team, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
As the saying goes, everyone would hit a man who was down. Now, Wang Hongyu had already provoked the public’s anger. As long as Victor gave him a slight push, he would fall into the abyss of eternal damnation!
However, Victor obviously did not intend to personally make a move.
According to the rules, the three parties could fight each other for the Blood Source Ore. This meant that the weakest Fire Sect would definitely become everyone’s target!
However, what Victor wanted to do was just to speed up the process.
“Hmm… The Fengyue Sect is in the southeast while the Hualin Sect is in the northwest… Forget it, let’s lure the Hualin Sect over.”
With that thought, Victor turned around and flew away.
Before long, Victor found the team led by Lu Peng. There were 20 people, except for two female disciples who specialized in alchemy. All 18 of them were at the core formation realm, and their strength was several levels stronger than the Fire Sect.
More importantly, they did not plan to target the Blood Source Ore from the beginning and were searching everywhere for traces of the Fire Sect!
However, Victor was a little surprised that Lu Peng’s target was him.
Unfortunately, Lu Peng’s luck did not seem too good. As soon as he entered the secret realm, he encountered a group of beasts and was blocked.
“All of you, get your spirits up. The disciples of the Weapon Forging Valley will summon magic weapons. The disciples of the Elixir Spirit Valley will retreat to the center. The rest of the disciples will fight against the demonic beasts with me!”
