Chapter 157 - Blood Oath

When the Sect Masters there hesitated after hearing the words 'blood oath', Long Yijun coldly sneered, "It appears that you guys are all bark and no bite. Forget it! I never expected much from a bunch of spineless old frogs anyway!"

"Wait a d.a.m.n second, Sect Master Long! Who are you calling spineless?! Since you are so confident, then watch as my disciples wipe that smug off your d.a.m.n face! And I am well aware of what you're trying to do here! Don't think you can earn so many treasures so easily because as long as a single disciple from one of our sects manages to clear all 100 floors, it'll be our victory!" Sect Master w.a.n.g exclaimed.

Long Yijun nodded and said, "I don't mind. However, each sect can only bring three disciples to partic.i.p.ate. After all, I don't have the time to let every disciple in your sect challenge the tower."

"Three disciples from each sect, huh? What do you guys think?" Sect Master w.a.n.g turned to look at the other Sect Masters.

"Hmph! You're being more generous than I'd antic.i.p.ated, Sect Master Long. To think you'd be generous enough to give each of us three chances instead of just one— I will bow to that! However, you have just dug yourself an even deeper hole by giving us more chances! Since that's the case, I am willing to do a blood oath!"

"Me, too! Especially if only a single disciple is needed to clear all 100 floors!"

A few moments later, Long Yijun then said, "Very well! Then let me be the first to do my blood oath!"

Long Yijun suddenly stood up and used the Dragon Slaying Saber to cut a small opening in his thumb before speaking out loud while staring at the ceiling, "I, Long Yijun, under this blood oath and with Heaven as a witness, swear that if a single disciple from the sects that belong to these individuals before me manages to clear all 100 floors in the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower that I will forfeit my Dragon Slaying Saber!"

Long Yijun allowed a droplet of his blood to fall on the floor after his sentence ended, but surprisingly, the blood did not touch the floor and splatter as one would expect. Instead, the blood went right through the floor and disappeared somewhere.

"I have done my blood oath. If you dare to partic.i.p.ate in this bet, swear a blood oath!" Long Yijun looked at the Sect Masters there and spoke in a domineering voice.

Sect Master w.a.n.g then stepped forward and swore, "I, w.a.n.g Mingqing, under this blood oath and with Heaven as a witness, swear that if none of the disciples from our sect can clear all 100 floors of the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower that I will forfeit this Divine Bamboo Spear in my hands!"

Sect Master w.a.n.g dropped his blood onto the floor, and it also disappeared into the floor like Long Yijun's blood.

Another Sect Master there stepped forward and began another blood oath, "I, Chang Hai, under this blood oath and with Heaven as a witness, swear that if none of the disciples from our sect can clear all 100 floors of the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower that I will forfeit this Blood Moon Cleaver!"

In just a few minutes, nearly every Sect Master there swore a blood oath.

"What are you guys waiting for? If you guys partic.i.p.ate, we'll have more chances. Even if we have to share the Dragon Slaying Saber with all of us here, it will definitely be worth it! And there's simply no way that our disciples won't be able to clear such a childish trial!" Sect Master w.a.n.g looked at the rest of the Sect Masters there that didn't want to partic.i.p.ate and encouraged them.

However, these Sect Masters remained hesitant and suspicious about the whole situation. While none of them knew just how difficult the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower truly was, they could feel an ominous feeling coming from Long Yijun's nonchalant expression.

"Screw it! If you're too afraid to partic.i.p.ate then don't! It just means that we'll have fewer people to share the wealth with afterward!" Sect Master w.a.n.g sneered.

"So a total of 4 sects will be partic.i.p.ating in this bet, huh? Very well. Send your disciples here to challenge the tower before the end of the month, as I'd rather have this resolved before the Mystic Realm begins."

"Hmph! Don't worry, they'll definitely be here to take away your Dragon Slaying Saber!" Sect Master w.a.n.g said before turning around and leaving the place.

"Make sure you clean that Dragon Slaying Saber before you hand it to us, Sect Master Long! Hahaha!" Sect Master Chang laughed out loud as he walked away.

Sometime later, once the guests were long gone, Long Yijun returned to his seat and closed his eyes, seemingly deep in his thoughts.

The sect elders also took a seat in their own chairs.

A few moments later, everybody in the room burst out laughing collectively.

"Hahaha! These idiots really believe that their disciples can clear all 100 floors in the tower! These f.u.c.king idiots have no idea what they're going up against!" Bai Ling laughed out loud.

"We've really struck gold this time! To think we'd earn 4 Divine-grade treasures without needing to do a d.a.m.n thing! This is practically free money!" Xin Ming slapped his legs as he laughed hysterically.

Sometime later, Elder Shan spoke, "Although obtaining four Divine-grade treasure is a good thing, Sect Master w.a.n.g and the others definitely won't forfeit their treasure so easily. We can expect some hostility from them afterward."

"Elder Shan is right." Long Yijun nodded and continued, "They'll definitely do whatever they can to retrieve the treasures once they lose it so we'll have to prepare for that. Luckily for us, even though they're also elite sects, they aren't powers that we cannot handle, and I doubt they are going to immediately start a war with us over a Divine-grade treasure."
