Chapter 269: You Should Call Senior
In the valley.
Bai Ye lay on the ground, unable to control the curse on his body any longer.
His cultivation was on the brink of collapse.
Suddenly, a magical treasure flew towards him, transforming into a light that shielded his body.
“You failed, didn’t you? I told you before becoming chief isn’t that simple.”
A young girl approached from a distance, the fifth chief disciple, Ye Yaqing.
“Strictly speaking, it was my turn to test the challenge, but to avoid bias, we let Junior Sister Wei Si, who is sixth, take action. She was quite lenient; if it had been one of the top five, your injuries would have been much worse.”
Ye Yaqing helped Bai Ye up, then sighed:
“Let take you to Master.”
“Thank you, Senior Sister, but I’m not seriously hurt. I’ve failed, and I can accept that. There’s just sothing I need to verify,” Bai Ye said softly.
“What is it?” Ye Yaqing was curious.
“It’s a personal matter,” Bai Ye replied evenly.
It seed that failure had beco a familiar outco for him.
But he was curious whether the one who had cursed him was indeed a disciple from Duanqing Cliff.
“Let’s talk about it after your injuries heal,” Ye Yaqing suggested.
Bai Ye nodded.
Indeed, now was not the ti for him to act.
In two or three months, perhaps his injuries would heal.
If he was lucky, he’d retain his cultivation level; if not, he’d just have to cultivate again.
......
The challenge for the position of chief disciple ended in failure.
Not only did no one beco the new chief disciple, but the previous one lost his title as well.
Without Man Long in the picture, others began to eagerly vie for the position.
Becoming the chief disciple ant at least a decade of peaceful days ahead.
Once Man Long regained his eligibility to challenge, it was certain he would do so.
And at that ti, no one would be a match for Man Long.
From the incident involving Bai Ye and Man Long, Jiang Hao understood that even the position of chief disciple could be influenced by underhanded ans; they too had their needs and desires.
But such dealings seed to be unfavorable for both parties.
Bai Ye was defeated, and Man Long was punished.
For a while, only the top nine disciples below the chief disciple erged as the biggest winners.
“I rember the last ti there was a battle among peers, Junior Brother ranked first, right?”
Liu Xingchen suddenly asked on the way.
“At that ti, each lineage only sent two people,” Jiang Hao explained briefly.
He had indeed co first then, and by all accounts, he should again in three years.
But in the past two years, he planned to advance his cultivation to the complete stage of Foundation Establishnt.
If he still ca first after that, it would be sowhat exaggerated.
However, he could decide based on the situation; if he needed to be first, he wouldn’t change his cultivation level, but if not, he could.
“What about Senior Brother Liu?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I should have a mission,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile and a shake of his head.
Not bored enough, Jiang Hao speculated.
“Has it been five or six years since Junior Brother killed Junior Sister Yun Ruo?” Liu Xingchen suddenly asked.
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.
“So many years have passed, and it seems the number of people who hold a grudge against Junior Brother has gradually decreased. Tianhuan Pavilion used to be hostile towards Junior Brother, but now it seems to have quieted down. However, that person from Tianhuan Pavilion still rembers Junior Brother. The Charming Body is harder to find than expected, and to this day, there is no accurate result,” Liu Xingchen said.
That person from Tianhuan Pavilion.
Jiang Hao rembered the person under Lawless Tower, feeling imnse pressure from just one glance.
But since that person had deprived him of resources for three years, as long as he didn’t do too well during this ti, he probably wouldn’t be targeted.
It was best not to leave the sect.
After so more conversation, Jiang Hao planned to return.
But before he left, he appraised Liu Xingchen.
【Liu Xingchen: A true disciple of the Haotian Sect, born with the aura of Dragon Slaughter. Undercover in the Tianyin Sect’s Enforcent Peak. He entered the blood pool in the mine and attracted the attention of the Blood Demon within, which now hides in his blood, attempting to consu and possess him. The remnants of a True Dragon and an Ancient Witch are secretly paving the way for the Blood Demon, allowing the Blood Demon to gather out information the enemy. He has been waiting for a long ti to watch the Blood Demon’s possession, but the progress is not fast enough, leaving him sowhat disappointed. After several exchanges, he increasingly finds you to be extraordinary and his interest in you grows, looking forward to the next ti you stir up trouble.】
Jiang Hao: “...”
After saying goodbye to Liu Xingchen, he was speechless.
Another one, this ti a demon.
True Dragon, Ancient Witch, Blood Demon.
On the surface, these seed to be three ancient powerhouses.
But the previous two didn’t gain any advantage, and it was likely the sa for this Blood Demon.
Once he also took a bite, it would be the day when the three giants t, and that would be the ti for them to join forces in resistance.
But another bite, and Liu Xingchen would enter the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
His enemy would beco even stronger.
Who would win or lose in the end was unpredictable.
But with such a dangerous possession at hand, was Liu Xingchen truly not worried at all?
Jiang Hao imagined that if it were him, he would spare no effort to crush these remnants to ensure his own safety.
Jiang Hao was quite curious about Liu Xingchen’s level within the Haotian Sect.
But being called the strongest immortal gate, the quality of its disciples must also be the highest.
If there was also a chief disciple, he wondered how much stronger they would be compared to the Tianyin Sect.
Returning to the Spiritual dicine Garden, bubbles surged towards him.
【Strength 1】
【Spirit 1】
【Spirit Sword 1】
As the bubbles rged with him, he could still feel his spirit and strength being enhanced.
But just as he arrived, he saw Senior Sister Miao Tinglian co in with two people.
A man and a woman, both dressed in black, with exceptionally strong auras.
The man was a bald brute in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
The woman was cold and proud, like an ice flower, in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
He had seen similar auras on the people from Zhuang Yuzhen’s Corpse Heart.
‘People from the Corpse God Sect?’
Jiang Hao imdiately recalled Liu Xingchen’s words that the people from the Corpse God Sect wanted to cooperate with us.
It seed to be true.
However, these two only showed the cultivation level of the mid-stage Golden Core.
“Junior Brother,” Miao Tinglian approached and introduced:
“These two are disciples from a major northern sect, and they want to see our Spiritual dicine Garden and the place where the Corpse God Flowers are cultivated. Since all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are busy, Master said you should introduce them. I have to discuss the Corpse God Flowers with so people, so I’ll be leaving you to it.”
As she finished speaking, Jiang Hao saw Senior Sister Miao leave.
Jiang Hao was sowhat taken aback; a late-stage Foundation Establishnt disciple leading two Nascent Souls?
Even if they were truly Golden Core, this seed sowhat discourteous.
“Greetings to the two seniors,” Jiang Hao said politely,
“Junior Jiang Hao, if you have any requests, please feel free to speak.”
“There’s no need for such formality, senior. We fellow Daoists should just address each other as such. My na is Gu Cheng, and this is my Junior Sister, Fang Jin,” the bald man Gu Cheng slowly spoke.
“Then I’ll take the liberty to call you Daoist Gu and Fairy Fang,” Jiang Hao said modestly.
“A Foundation Establishnt cultivator guarding the Spiritual dicine Garden? Do you know much about spiritual dicines?” Fang Jin asked coldly.
“Just a little,” Jiang Hao replied softly.
Afterward, Jiang Hao showed them around the Spiritual dicine Garden.
They looked around various places.
Along the way, Jiang Hao occasionally glanced at them and, unsurprisingly, saw a hint of disdain in their eyes.
To them, this place seed like nothing more than a rural wasteland.
“That’s it?” Fang Jin asked.
Jiang Hao smiled slightly and said:
“Yes, Fairy Fang.”
“You should call senior,” Fang Jin said indifferently.
