Martial Peak

Chapter 820, Kill One To Warn One Hundred

After letting them vent their frustrations for a while, Wu Jie said, “Do you two think that if this Wu had taken action the situation could have been saved? I’m sure you both saw, even if this Wu joined in the attack, nothing would have changed.”

“At the very least, we wouldn’t have been so badly embarrassed!” Zhang Ao shouted, “Even with so many masters on our side, we were actually shamed by a snot nosed brat and forced to retreat!”

Saying so, he pounded his fist on the arm of his chair, pulverising it into dust.

“That little brat, I want him dead!” Cao Guan also chimed in, his eyes somewhat bloodshot.

Only after cursing a few more times did the mood inside the tent gradually calm down.

Cao Guan let out a long sigh, “In the end, we’re just a collection of loose sand. If those forces could unite together like Brother Zhang and I, what would we need to fear about attacking Nine Heavens Holy Land?”

“Indeed,” Zhang Ao nodded. Today it had essentially been the cultivators of Shattering Mystical Palace and War Spirit Temple battling against Yang Kai, everyone else had simply been standing on the sidelines watching the show. If everyone had worked together though, it might have been possible for them to break the Nine Peaks Barrier.

“Palace Master, Palace Master…” Suddenly, a cry came from outside the tent and a disciple of Shattering Mystical Palace rushed inside.

“What is it?” Zhang Ao asked unhappily, immediately feeling disgruntled about one of his own subordinates not understanding proper etiquette.

The disciple showed an awkward expression upon being scolded but still quickly said, “Palace Master, a number of small forces are preparing to leave.”

“Leave?” Zhang Ao’s eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed across their depths.

“En, they said they didn’t want to become enemies with Nine Heavens Holy Land, so they intend to withdraw.”

“Nonsense!” Cao Guan stood up and shouted, “No one may leave!”

At this critical moment, if anyone were to leave, it would have a devastating effect on morale and it would not be long before others started withdrawing as well.

“It appears there’s a need to have a good talk with those who wish to leave,” Zhang Ao muttered coldly, glancing over at Cao Guan and Wu Jie, “What about you two?”

“I was thinking so too!” Cao Guan nodded firmly.

Wu Jie also shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
