After receiving the disciple's ssage, Gao Fei imdiately hurried to the Council Hall.
"So many people?" Gao Fei was startled, then went on to greet everyone in turn, "Sect Leader, Elder Jin, Pavilion Master Jia..."
Apart from Song Qingfeng, everyone else's attitude toward Gao Fei was rather indifferent, clearly not very well-liked.
"Gao Fei, I called you here to ask for your opinion," Song Qingfeng said outright. "The once-in-a-decade trial in Beast King Valley is about to begin. Are you interested in participating?"
"Beast King Valley? Trial? What's that? I don't understand," Gao Fei said, tilting his head, full of confusion.
"Beast King Valley is a forbidden area, normally surrounded by formations; it opens once every ten years..." Song Qingfeng explained patiently.
"So that's how it is," Gao Fei's face showed a sudden understanding.
"Do you want to go?" Song Qingfeng asked.
"Is there any benefit to participating in the trial?" Gao Fei inquired.
"Yes," Song Qingfeng nodded. "The first place prize is a supre grade magic artifact, and ten thousand spirit stones."
"Ten thousand spirit stones?" Gao Fei's eyes imdiately lit up; he wasn't interested in the supre grade magic artifact, only in the spirit stones. "Go! I'll go!" He would go for the spirit stones.
Song Qingfeng's brows furrowed slightly, "Are you sure? There are dangers in participating in the trials!"
"No worries, I will take care of myself," Gao Fei said with a smile. "You just said there are no ferocious beasts above the Golden Core Stage in Beast King Valley, just a bunch of beasts in the Inedia Stage and the Qi Gathering Stage that can't hurt ."
"Are you really decided?" Song Qingfeng asked. "I would rather you didn't participate in the trial; I'm afraid sothing might happen to you."
"I've made up my mind to take part in the trial," Gao Fei stated decisively. "And to strive for first place!"
"Sect Leader, you heard him, didn't you? Gao Fei is willing to participate in the trial," Jin Chaoyang said with a smile. "You should respect Gao Fei's choice."
"Just let Gao Fei go," Jia Yunfeng followed suit.
The other elders also expressed their position, allowing Gao Fei to participate in the trial.
With things having reached this point, what else could Song Qingfeng say? He had no choice but to respect Gao Fei's decision. All he could do was sigh softly, "Then go, go participate in the trial."
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your permission!" Gao Fei expressed his gratitude.
Silly boy, you really are a fool! Can't you see these elders are targeting you? Why did you agree to it? I'm really going to be angered to death by you! Song Qingfeng harshly scolded Gao Fei in his heart.
"Alright, you are dismissed; there's nothing more for you here, go back," Song Qingfeng said sternly, waving his hand.
"Fine, I'm leaving," Gao Fei turned around and strode out of the Council Hall.
A cold smirk appeared on Jin Chaoyang's lips.
Jia Yunfeng also narrowed his eyes.
Both of them bore deep hatred for Gao Fei, eager for him to participate in the trial and preferably die in the Beast King Valley.
...
In the evening.
Jin Chaoyang, with hands clasped behind his back, made his way to Miao Zheng's residence.
"Elder Jin? What brings you here?" Miao Zheng was visibly surprised. "Please have a seat; I'll make you so tea." Miao Zheng took out his treasured tea leaves and brewed a cup of fragrant, steaming tea with boiling water. "Elder Jin, please enjoy the tea," handing the cup gently onto the table.
Jin Chaoyang picked up the teacup, blew on the hot steam rising from the rim, and then took a sip, "Mm, not bad, tastes good." Jin Chaoyang glanced at Miao Zheng, "Don't stand there, hurry up and sit, sit down and chat with ."
"Yes." Miao Zheng pulled out a chair and sat down, sitting ramrod straight. As the Tianyang Sect's senior disciple, his status was not low, but it paled in comparison to Jin Chaoyang's.
"Miao Zheng," Jin Chaoyang said indifferently, "you've been with the Tianyang Sect for over twenty years, haven't you?"
"Twenty-one years," Miao Zheng replied respectfully.
"Ti flies really fast," Jin Chaoyang lanted, "I rember when you were just a child, and in the blink of an eye, you've beco a man; ti goes by too quickly."
"Yes," Miao Zheng nodded, "it does go by quickly."
Jin Chaoyang put down the teacup, looking at Miao Zheng with a smile, "I have always thought highly of you! You are an outstanding disciple, and your future achievents are boundless."
"Elder Jin flatters ."
"Miao Zheng, I've co today to ask you for a favor," Jin Chaoyang said.
"Please speak, Elder Jin. As long as it's within my power, I will not refuse."
"It's a simple matter, you can definitely do it! In a few days, you'll be leading a team to participate in the Beast King Valley trial, and Gao Fei will be going back too."
"Gao Fei?" Upon hearing the na Gao Fei, a sharp glint flashed in Miao Zheng's eyes.
"Help kill Gao Fei," Jin Chaoyang said, enunciating each word.
"Ah?" Miao Zheng was startled, "This... I... Elder Jin, stop joking, that kind of joke can scare soone to death..."
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Jin Chaoyang's expression was very serious, "Is it really that frightening to kill soone?"
Miao Zheng forced a smile, "But Gao Fei is no ordinary disciple. He is highly valued by the Sect Leader. If I kill him... The Sect Leader will definitely not let off."
"Be more discreet in your actions, who would know that you killed Gao Fei?" Jin Chaoyang said, "Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing." At this point, Jin Chaoyang took a small box out of his sleeve and gently placed it on the table, "Kill Gao Fei, and what's in this box will be yours."
"What's this?" Miao Zheng was startled.
Jin Chaoyang opened the lid of the box, and a blinding light radiated from inside, thoroughly illuminating the whole room.
"Ah... a Magic Artifact?" Miao Zheng's eyes widened, "And it's a Middle Rank Magic Artifact..."
"You have good eyes. This is indeed a Middle Rank Magic Artifact," Jin Chaoyang nodded, "It's personally refined by , very powerful, capable of increasing your combat power several tis over.
With this Magic Artifact, your strength will surge, and even if you encounter a Golden Core Stage cultivator, you'll have the power to fight, of course, I'm talking about an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator." The Golden Core Stage is divided into ten layers, with the first three being referred to as "Early Stage," the fourth to sixth layers as "Mid Stage," the seventh to ninth layers as "Late Stage," and the tenth layer as "Great Perfection."
Miao Zheng gulped hard; he was truly tempted. He had always dread of owning a Magic Artifact, and now one lay before his eyes—all he needed to do was nod, and the Magic Artifact would be his...
"After the deed is done, I will also give you ten thousand Spirit Stones," Jin Chaoyang was really going all out.
Whether it was the Magic Artifact or ten thousand Spirit Stones, neither was sothing Miao Zheng could refuse...
"Alright... I agree..." Miao Zheng nodded with difficulty.
"I look forward to your good news," Jin Chaoyang stood up, hands behind his back, and left.
Miao Zheng quickly shut the door, then slumped over the table, cradling the Magic Artifact, and examined it closely, "So beautiful, it's just too beautiful..."
"Miao Zheng." Suddenly, a shout ca from outside.
"Ah! I'm here!" Miao Zheng hastily stowed away the Magic Artifact and went over to open the door, "Pavilion Master Jia? What brings you here? Do you need for sothing?" Standing outside was a person from the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Pavilion Master Jia Yunfeng.
"Yes, I need to discuss sothing with you," Jia Yunfeng stepped inside, and it was quite fortunate he did; had he arrived a mont earlier, he would have run into Jin Chaoyang.
