"I definitely wouldn't go to Artifact Refining Valley anymore. Even if it means letting the Green Lotus Sect gain an advantage, I wouldn't want to beg Artifact Refining Valley again," the young cultivator realized.
Unsurprisingly, this kind of talk quickly spread to Artifact Refining Valley.
Before the elders even noticed, the disciples were already furious.
"Infuriating! When those people needed us, they didn't say anything like this!"
"Just kicking us while we're down."
"We shouldn't have helped them in the first place. An ungrateful bunch."
Chayan Zeng was also angry.
Since the Double Cavern Secret Realm incident, he'd been holding in his frustration.
It wasn't easy for Artifact Refining Valley to cultivate a top talent.
Even though they hadn't invested too much in this genius yet, finding good prospects was difficult.
And to lose one in a seemingly safe secret realm was a huge blow.
