Su Jie’s sudden and swift attack lasted only about half a minute.

The many new recruits undergoing assessnt watched in shock, their eyes wide as they observed Su Jie’s fierce killing thods.
Still ordinary humans, they now fully experienced the visual and spiritual shock of martial cultivation.
Their looks towards Su Jie were filled with imnse admiration.
Quite a few even began to fantasize about themselves, after cultivation, casually killing an Alien Ghost with a single palm strike.
However, these novices, who had not yet comprehended the difficulties of cultivation, mostly didn’t know a cruel truth.
Even if they exhausted all their resources, the vast majority would not be able to reach Su Jie’s level and would have to spend their lives below the Sixth Level of the Yunling Realm.
"Whose disciple is that? So brave and fierce."
Elder Cai Shangbai looked on; it was no problem for an inner disciple to handle two or three Alien Ghosts, but to do so as cleanly and decisively as Su Jie was not simple.
"From Taoist Qiu’s side, quite capable indeed."
Tang Peiqing nodded slightly, having so recollection of Su Jie.
"Indeed capable. I’m very impressed with Taoist Qiu’s female disciple. This young fellow also seems to have extraordinary potential. Sotis I really envy him."
Another elder, Ruan Feng, could not help but comnt as well.
When they assessed disciples, it was not just about the moves; the purity of the spiritual power demonstrated by Su Jie during the fight was definitely excellent among inner disciples.
Su Jie, unaware that a few elders were discussing him, blissfully looked at his spoils of war.
"Brother Su, we’ve co to help... to help..."
Duan Guanghai, arriving with several others, hesitated, as it hardly looked like help was needed.
Seeing the three Alien Ghost bodies, Duan Guanghai felt almost as shocked as those new recruits just entering.
Recently, due to their patrolling and guard duties, they were certainly no strangers to Alien Ghosts.
Just one of these demons could easily annihilate a small team.
Yet, in front of Su Jie, they were like rabbits, only knowing how to flee in an ignoble fashion, and quickly dealt with in a few monts.
This also made it clear to them just how vast the gap was between themselves and an inner disciple.
"Go pick up that Alien Ghost body over there."
With a command from Su Jie, Duan Guanghai quickly stood, ready to go.
Just then, two inner disciples approached: a man and a woman. The man had a golden-red gourd hanging at his waist, and the woman had a graceful figure with skin white as snow.
These two had started out at the sa ti as Su Jie but were just a bit slower, and the Alien Ghosts had already been disposed of by Su Jie.
"Fellow Daoist, what you see you share. I’ll take a share."
The man with the gourd saw the dead Alien Ghosts, smiled, and reached out to take one.
The woman did the sa, perhaps thinking that with two against one, Su Jie wouldn’t dare to oppose them.
However, Su Jie’s eyebrows raised, and the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword whooshed in; had the gourd carrier not quickly withdrawn his hand, his arm would have been directly severed.
"Did I say you could move?"
Su Jie’s voice was calm, but the murderous intent it carried quieted the surrounding air.
The smile disappeared from the gourd man’s face, and he looked unfriendly.
"Not giving face like this, I, Cao Yuan, am just taking one Alien Ghost, a windfall that should be shared by all who see it."
As Cao Yuan spoke, the fluctuations of his cultivation, revealing a seventh level in the Yunling Realm, beca apparent.
"Respect isn’t earned by stealing from others."
Su Jie was not about to be polite with him. Being at the seventh level of Yunling Realm ant little; Su Jie had faced and defeated higher before, thinking he could be scared off was wishful thinking.
"I rember you just got promoted to inner disciple, called Su sothing. I’m your senior sister, Nan Wenli. Leave this Alien Ghost to , and in return, I’ll spend a night with you."
The other inner disciple, Nan Wenli, smiled enchantingly, her delicate fingers tracing her red lips, her eyes seductive, as she made her exchange offer.
"Are you embedding Blood Marrow Crystals in there? I can’t afford that, find so other sucker,"
Su Jie’s face was full of disdain. What a joke, an Alien Ghost was worth over six hundred Blood Marrow Crystals.
With a monthly rate of a hundred Blood Marrow Crystals, it amounted to half a year’s salary. He certainly wouldn’t throw half a year’s pay into just one operation.
Upon hearing this, Nan Wenli’s face imdiately soured, as if Su Jie had just stopped short of saying she wasn’t worthy.
Duan Guanghai and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, Su Jie’s words made them want to burst out laughing, but in front of the inner disciples, they had to hold it in.
"Is that funny?"
Though Duan Guanghai and his group made small movents, Nan Wenli still noticed and a cold light swept towards them.
Clang!
A tallic clash rang out as the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword sent a golden hairpin flying, a lower grade interdiate Magic Artifact, aiming for the lives of Duan Guanghai and the others.
Duan Guanghai was terrified, he had rely moved his lips slightly, yet this woman had taken it to heart.
"Killing my people right before my eyes, how absurd."
Hitting a dog depends on the owner; Nan Wenli’s behavior made Su Jie’s face turn cold.
Nan Wenli laughed in extre anger, "A newcor who was just promoted, you’re at most at the Sixth Level of Yunling Realm, aren’t you? The younger generation is indeed arrogant. You need to learn how to respect your seniors."
"Aren’t you also at the Sixth Level of Yunling Realm?"
With a single sentence from Su Jie, Nan Wenli was seriously angered. Su Jie had seen through her level during their brief exchange.
"I’ll spare you this ti. Hand over three Alien Ghosts, and kowtow, then we’ll let this go,"
Cao Yuan approached Su Jie, his impressive aura making Duan Guanghai and the others shiver.
"I’ll say it once more, hand over the Alien Ghosts and I’ll spare you."
Seeing Su Jie unresponsive, Cao Yuan continued to advance, confident that with his cultivation at the Seventh Level of Yunling Realm, defeating one at the sixth was absolutely achievable.
"You guys leave this place."
Su Jie waved his hand, his gaze never leaving Cao Yuan and Nan Wenli.
Duan Guanghai and the others felt as if they had been granted amnesty, quickly distancing themselves from Su Jie, lest they be caught in the fray and die for unclear reasons.
"The youngsters are stirring things up again."
From a distance, Tang Peiqing watched the tense scene, showing no intention of intervening.
Inner Sect disciples were also promoted from Outer Disciple; their strength improved, but their temperant would not change.
Those capable of advancing to inner disciple were no easy opponents, and it was normal for them to compete sharply with each other.
However, disciples of this level wary of each other seldom took action.
"Who do you think will win? I’m betting on the newcors, Cao Yuan, and Nan Wenli,"
Cai Shangbai was excited, favoring Cao Yuan and Nan Wenli.
"Two against one, I’ll also bet on the newcors,"
Ruan Feng made the sa choice. On paper, Su Jie really was no match for the two.
"Then I’ll go for Su Jie, otherwise this betting won’t take off,"
Tang Peiqing laughed and shook his head, his words also leaning towards Cao Yuan and Nan Wenli.
Although Su Jie had perford well when killing the Alien Ghosts, the odds were against him in a two-on-one, not to ntion an unequal fight. Winning would be highly difficult.
Many newcors and disciples also noticed the disturbance, casting their interested glances toward it.
Many hadn’t seen inner disciples spar before.
"Hurry up, help give that bastard a good thrashing,"
Among the crowd, Zhu Qingya clenched her teeth, muttering softly.
