“He said that he lit the white candle and lured away those strange things? But what I saw were Senior Brother Guo and Junior Brother Chen. The two of them went against the flow and led those evil things away!” Wen Ziqian’s face turned red as he shouted at Luo Jun.
“Senior Martial Brother Wen, don’t be agitated. I just heard it by accident. That Senior Martial Brother Guo even showed off the white candle in his hand.”
Luo Jun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Wen Ziqian. Why did he make it seem like he was the one who said those words and he was just relaying them?
“Did anyone else see Xie Jindong lighting a white candle on the mountain?”
A white candle couldn’t prove anything. Who knew where you lit it?
After everyone returned yesterday, they all said that they did not encounter any more evil things. Even this morning, someone counted the number of herb pickers and found that the number of herb pickers who survived was extremely high.
Other than some who were injured from running too fast, at least 80% of the herb gatherers had returned.
“I also saw Senior Brother Guo and Junior Brother Chen light the white candle and rush back. What is that Jie Jindong trying to do?” Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
After they returned, they chatted with each other. They knew that without Chen Fei and the other two’s white candles, how many of them could return was completely a matter of luck.
“Someone has vouched for Jie Jindong.” Luo Jun shook his head.
Originally, they were the only ones who had done this herb-picking mission. Later on, because of the incident with the Divine Flame Sect, the sect sent another group of people over.
The fact that many disciples had survived the bizarre disaster on the mountain yesterday was actually very unexpected. After all, even Feng Xiupu and the others had almost been wiped out. Based on their estimations, the number of disciples who could make it back to the sect alive was extremely few.
The result was the exact opposite. Not only did Feng Xiupu’s group return, but many of the disciples from the other side also returned.
Then, in the early morning, the other disciples said that it was Jie Jindong who had lit the white candle and lured away those strange things, preventing the other disciples and the herb gatherers from being killed by the strange things.
“The credit this time is indeed not low. It’s normal for someone to want to claim it.” someone whispered.
“How many monsters did that Jie Jindong say he lured?” Chen Fei walked forward and asked with a smile.
“Junior Brother Chen, you’re here.” When everyone saw Chen Fei, they could not help but smile.
Now, they all knew that besides Feng Xiupu and the others, Chen Fei and Guo Linshan had contributed the most to their safe return. Under those circumstances, to be able to withstand the pressure and attract the deviant was something that ordinary people really couldn’t do.
“Yeah, did Jie Jindong say how many he lured?” Guo Linshan’s voice sounded as he slowly walked over.
“Senior Brother Guo, that Jie Jindong said that he attracted more than a dozen evil creatures and was injured by them.”
Luo Jun pointed at his shoulder and said, “In this position, Jie Jindong’s shoulder was indeed injured.”
“Who doesn’t have any injuries on their bodies?”
Wen Ziqian couldn’t help but say loudly. At that time, the entire mountain was filled with evil things, so it was normal for him to be injured.
“Now, there are quite a few people over there who are vouching for Jie Jindong, saying that they saw him light a white candle to attract the evil spirit. This kind of thing is sometimes hard to explain.” Luo Jun shook his head.
“No, we have to speak up too. We can’t let them take advantage of us for nothing!” someone said anxiously.
“Yes, let’s go too.” The others nodded.
“Senior Brother Guo, do you know this Jie Jindong?” Chen Fei turned to look at Guo Linshan.
“I know. His cultivation is about the same as mine, but he’s a little arrogant. However, his movement technique is indeed outstanding, which is rare among those of the same level.” Guo Linshan recalled for a moment.
The most important thing about luring the monsters on the mountain yesterday was that his movement technique was good. Otherwise, if those monsters swarmed him, even an individual at the Visceral Tempering realm would feel numb.
For someone like Chen Fei who had a movement technique and a defensive sword technique like the Starry Night Sword, it was much easier than he had imagined for him to sneak around last night. Of course, one had to have the courage first. Even if an ordinary person had movement techniques and sword techniques, they would still run far away.
“What are you guys arguing about so early in the morning?”
Feng Xiupu appeared outside the courtyard. His face was still a little pale, but he did not seem to have any problems.
“Master, yesterday, Senior Brother Guo and Junior Brother Chen risked their lives to lure away the strange things. In the end, someone wanted to claim the credit!” Wen Ziqian stepped forward and explained what had happened.
After Feng Xiupu heard this, he looked at the two of them in surprise. Yesterday, he had found it strange that the losses of this bizarre disaster were far less than he had imagined. He had wanted to find out the reason today.
He did not expect that it was his two most proud disciples who took the risk to light the white candle to attract the evil.
When Feng Xiupu and the others saw the two run away yesterday, he had actually thought of lighting a white candle to trap the monsters as well. However, the leader was right in front of him. Lighting the white candle would simply make all the monsters go berserk. If they surrounded and attacked one person, they would probably die immediately.
As for using the white candle to lead the head monster, the head was very fast. No one could do this.

Feng Xiupu pointed at Chen Fei and the others, not knowing what to say. In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh. Back then, he was also like this. In the end, he was seriously injured, and his cultivation level fell.
Feng Xiupu didn’t have any regrets. What he thought about the most was that his cultivation level wasn’t high enough at that time. Otherwise, things would have turned out differently.
However, Feng Xiupu’s greatest hope was that when his disciples were in danger, they would try their best to escape.
It was also because of this that Feng Xiupu had imparted the Starry Night Sword and Soul Chasing Steps to Chen Fei.
But now, he didn’t expect that Chen Fei would use the Soul Chasing Step to join the fray. Feng Xiupu didn’t know what to say.
“Master, when we saw those evil minions being summoned back, how many evil minions did you see?” Guo Linshan asked.
Guo Linshan did not think that what Jie Jindong said was definitely false.
After all, they had the heart to help their fellow disciples, but it did not mean that others did not. Moreover, Jie Jindong indeed had the basic conditions to complete this task.
“There should be dozens of them. You can ask Qian Lindu. He was in charge of blocking these returning Zi Gui at that time.”
Feng Xiupu thought for a moment, then glanced over. Feng Xiupu indeed didn’t follow up.
“Master, what should we do about this matter? Should we quickly report Senior Brother Guo and Junior Brother Chen’s actions? Otherwise, all the credit will go to that Jie Jindong.” Wen Ziqian said anxiously.
“Yes, the two of you come with me. This contribution is indeed significant. Since we have done it, there is no need to be humble.” Feng Xiupu nodded.
A moment later, Feng Xiupu led the way while Chen Fei followed behind as they ran towards the sect’s Shang Gong Hall.
Shang Gong Hall was the place where the Primordial Sword Sect rewarded and punished people based on their achievements.
When Feng Xiupu and the other two arrived at Shang Gong Hall, they discovered that it was quite lively.
Chen Fei took a look and found that the few martial veterans who were on the mountain yesterday, except for the one who was seriously injured, were all present. At this moment, they surrounded a few disciples and engaged in a pleasant conversation.
“That person is Jie Jindong.” Guo Linshan glanced at the scene and turned to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei suddenly understood. He did not expect Jie Jindong and the others to have already arrived here. Clearly, they wanted to claim the credit for luring away the evil spirits yesterday.
“Junior Brother Feng, you came at the right time. Yesterday, you were still wondering why there were so few people who were injured. Today, you found the reason.”
Qian Lindu saw Feng Xiupu and pointed at Jie Jindong. He smiled and said, “It was all thanks to this disciple who lured the evil things away with the white candle. Otherwise, the disciples would have suffered heavy losses yesterday.”
“I came here because the two of them also used the white candle to lure the evil spirits yesterday,” Feng Xiupu said as he led Chen Fei to the front.
As soon as Feng Xiupu spoke, the noisy Shang Gong Hall suddenly quieted down..
