I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes-Chapter 67 - A Chance of Survival

Year 719 of the Xuanwu Calendar.

The eighth Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Ji Qixi, passed away.

During the battle, two of the Xuanwu Kingdom’s dukes died and three of the five Five Elements Altars were destroyed. The siege of the Thousand Autumn Valley was finally over.

The old Sword King’s sword light finally disappeared from the world.

“Perhaps… Master was already prepared to die the moment he came out of seclusion.”

Lei Shao panted heavily and said to himself slowly, “Even without fellow practitioner Feng around, he would still do this. Everything he did was for that chance of survival!”

The old Sword King, Ji Qixi, was both the sect master and also the master who taught him and the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan.

There seemed to be sword beams shooting out from his eyes as he looked at the shocked figures outside the valley. These were the experts from the various sects who had surrounded the Thousand Autumn Valley.

Originally, they were waiting for the two dukes to break through the defenses of the Thousand Autumn Valley, then they would follow behind and begin the slaughter in the valley.

However, the scene of the deaths of the two dukes was too shocking to the point that these vicious wolves were stunned on the spot. For a moment, no one dared to approach the Thousand Autumn Valley!

Just by looking at those faces, murderous intent surged in Lei Shao’s chest. He wished that he could rush up and fight those experts to the death while they were in a daze.

However, he suppressed his surging murderous intent and only glared fiercely at those people. Then, he turned around resolutely and raised his hand. His low voice traveled through his vital energy and entered the ears of many Thousand Autumn Valley disciples.

“The Sect Master has returned to heaven and I will temporarily take over the position of Sect Master.”

“All disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley, listen up!”

Lei Shao’s voice was choked with emotion.

This was the chance of survival that the old Sect Master, Ji Qixi, had envisaged!

“Master’s goal has never been to fight to the death with that person. Instead, he wants to use this time gap to buy precious time for the Thousand Autumn Valley!”

At this moment, Lei Shao completely understood what was going on.

With the death of the dukes, the experts outside would be deterred for the moment. With his strength and that of the other elders of the Thousand Autumn Valley, they still had a high chance of relocating the disciples!

As long as the people of the sect were still around, the sect would continue to exist.

“I can’t bear to…”

The words that the old Sect Master uttered not long ago still echoed in his ears. He was speaking not only to Lei Shao, but also to every disciple of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

“Barbarian Lei!”

Just as the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley were about to start moving, a figure suddenly rushed over. His handsome face was filled with deep sorrow.

Lei Shao was stunned for a moment before he looked up at Liu Chuanyuan. “Sissy… don’t be rash!”

Liu Chuanyuan was so angry that he laughed. “Asking me not to be rash? I should be the one saying that! Now is not the time to fight them head-on. However, once we have gotten all the disciples settled down, we have to end it with them!”

Only then did Lei Shao heave a long sigh of relief. His reaction made Liu Chuanyuan so angry that his eyebrows twitched.

“Let’s go, let’s go before these people react!”

Outside the Thousand Autumn Valley.

The Tianjue Sect Master and the others froze on the spot.

“This… this, this…”

The arrival of two dukes of the Xuanwu Kingdom. Did anyone know the significance of that gesture?

At the moment of King Zhennan’s appearance, he could even clearly see the boundless despair on Lei Shao’s face. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

However, in the blink of an eye, the two dukes died without even leaving behind their corpses!

“Fellow practitioner… from Tianjue…”

The plump middle-aged man said with much difficulty, “The old Sword King of the Thousand Autumn Valley is also gone… Shouldn’t we take this opportunity…”

Before he could finish speaking, he involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The other Dao Platform Realm cultivators there still had shock and horror on their faces. One of them could not help but shake his head and say, “Fellow practitioner from Hundred Nether… if we ask you to go now… do you dare to?”

The plump middle-aged man trembled and immediately shook his head vigorously. “Forget it. The Thousand Autumn Valley is now a cornered beast. If we rush forward now, we might lose a few more fellow practitioners.”

“Besides, two dukes have died this time and the situation is already out of control. Even if we don’t go after the Thousand Autumn Valley, I don’t think that person will blame us…”

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the Five Elements Sect Master.

The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect retracted his gaze with an awkward expression. To use an inappropriate description, he looked as if someone in his family had died.

“Damn it…” The Sect Leader of Five Elements Sect had a ferocious expression on his face as he gritted his teeth.

For other sects and factions like the Tianjue Sect, even if this operation failed, they would not be too severely punished. This was because they were only here to help and not the main driver of this operation.

However, the Five Elements Sect was different.

The Five Elements Sect was the main driver behind the siege of the Thousand Autumn Valley!

Once the Xuanwu imperial court was enraged, the Five Elements Sect would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

“Old man Ji… Why didn’t you die earlier!”

“Why! Why! Why!”

“My sect just wants to survive. Why can’t you all just die obediently? Why do you have to hinder my sect’s plan?!”

Unknowingly, the Five Elements Sect Master’s expression gradually turned crazy.

…

“This is already the third time, but that person seems to have finally stopped.”

Qionghua Courtyard.

Feng Xia was still sitting cross-legged on the bed. An indescribable rhythm slowly came from his body and as time passed, it became more and more intense and shocking, almost turning into a corporeal wave. A ten-colored dreamy light circulated endlessly and completely drowned out Feng Xia’s body.

His consciousness circulated between the secret realm doors, comprehending the principles and mysteries one after another. He had long forgotten everything except for the inexplicable joy surging in his chest.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Feng Xia’s mind—

More!

I want more! More!

“It’s so boring~”

Zhu Youniang sat obediently beside Feng Xia. However, not long after, the young girl could not take it anymore. She did not care about the battle outside and only focused on sizing up Feng Xia.

A moment later, she noticed the ten-colored light streaming around Feng Xia.

“Eh, what are these? I think I can pluck them and eat them…”

The girl tried to raise her hand to grab one of the rays of light.

Whoosh—

At this moment, a stream of light flew over from the sky and brushed past the girl’s palm before entering Feng Xia’s forehead.

“Wow, what is this!?”

Zhu Youniang was shocked. Her body turned into a shadow and dispersed with a bang. Then, she slowly gathered the pieces in the distance and condensed the image of a young girl again.

She looked around for a long time but could not find where the stream of light came from. Only then did she lower her guard and turn her attention back to eating.

“Eh… Have the things around Xia become much thinner?”
