C78 Waterwind Kingdom
In a valley, a group of inner circle disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect were gathered together. They were the disciples who were supervising Jian Ao and the others.
"Three days have passed. They are about to come out. " One of them said.
"Hm, I wonder how they're doing this year? I remember that our batch's champion had thirty Inner Cores!"
"That person is Senior Brother Gu. Currently, he was also a first-rate existence amongst the inner court disciples, an existence that was ranked in the top ten of the inner court Wind Cloud Ranking. "
"The existences in the top ten of the Wind Cloud Ranking are existences that we can only look up to. What we need to do now is cultivate properly, and strive to improve our rankings in the coming year. "
"You're right. " Another person nodded, and as if he had thought of something, he suddenly spoke, "How many Inner Cores do you think Jian Ao will get in this round?"
The battle between Jian Ao and Wu Liang in the Mingwu Wall had caused his name to rise to fame. Perhaps the entire outer sect knew about Jian Ao, and even the name of Jian Ao was circulating in the inner sect.
"Him?" One of them shook his head, "He's only at the second stage of the Sword Genius realm. How many Demon Beast can he kill and how many inner cores can he obtain? I don't think there are more than ten of them, and most of them are taken from the clan. "
The background of Jian Ao, who had risen to fame, was naturally dug out by some people. Everyone knew that he was the third young master of the Jian family, one of the five families in Wind Cloud Country.
"Alright, alright. Be quiet. They have come out. "
Huang Guicann interrupted their conversation. He looked at the forest with a hint of anticipation.
Da Da!
A burst of hurried footsteps sounded and a large group of people walked over from the forest. They were the new students.
The new students no longer had the barrier between nobles and commoners. Instead, they had merged into one and were inseparable from each other.
In front of this group of people, a figure in white stood with his head held high and his chest puffed out. Every step he took seemed to cause the earth to tremble. He was extremely domineering.
This figure was Jian Ao.
That's right. Jian Ao had conquered all the new students of this year, and he was the leader of all of them.
"You. . . You guys are here! How's the harvest?" When Huang Guicann saw Jian Ao, he took a step forward and revealed a joyful smile.
His eyes were filled with hope as he looked straight at Jian Ao. His words seemed to be said for Jian Ao to hear, but because of the situation, he could only change his tone and call them "you guys. "
Jian Ao was confused by Huang Guicann's warm welcome, and he did not understand what was going on. However, when he thought about the confrontation with his soul, his heart tightened and instantly pulled away from him.
The previous confrontation might have been a test. It was very likely that Huang Guicann already knew about his possession of the Soul Heavenly Body.
Once this matter was exposed, he would face endless pursuit. At this moment, he had yet to prepare himself for it. If he could delay it for a while, he would delay it for a while.
"Elder, I have never met you before, so we don't know each other. Why are you so enthusiastic?"
Huang Guicann was startled by the movement of his feet and the departure of his body. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was the first time he had seen such a thing. Seeing him was like seeing a plague. In the entire Wind Cloud Country, only Jian Ao could do such a thing.
He smiled bitterly and said, "No. This is not to see you guys. I'm happy!"
Jian Ao smiled. He was happy to see us, but he could lie to a three-year-old. However, it was useless to me. It was just a perfunctory act. However, he did not point it out. Instead, he nodded.
Huang Guicann asked for it. If it was someone else, they might have attacked him in anger, but he didn't. Instead, he felt happy in his heart.
This was the pride of a genius. When the others saw him taking the initiative to express his goodwill, they all eagerly came over to befriend him, but Jian Ao didn't. This was a true genius.
After calming down his mood, he said in a clear voice, "Congratulations on passing the first stage. Now, take out the Demon Beast's inner core that you have obtained and rank it. The first place has 1,000 points, the second place has 500 points, the third place has 300 points, the fourth place has 200 points, and the fifth place has 100 points. "
"Wait, elders, wait. Can we wait a moment? There's still one person who hasn't come!" Jian Ao looked around and found that Du Pengfei had yet to appear.
"Wait! How could such a solemn matter be waited for by a single person? This was too ridiculous. " Before Huang Guicann could say anything, an inner circle disciple behind him shouted.
Looking at Huang Guicann, Jian Ao frowned and said in a low voice, "Is this your intention?"
Huang Guicann also frowned. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with what these inner circle disciples did, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was just an outer circle Sect Elder. Although his status was higher than theirs, he had no right to control them.
What was an inner circle disciple? He was the main pillar of the sect. As long as he didn't openly violate the sect rules, everyone would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see him. Besides, the inner sect disciples were only under the jurisdiction of the inner sect elders.
"No. " Huang Guicann shook his head lightly in response to Jian Ao's question.
"Let me ask you again, will your elder be the leader of this enrollment competition, or will they be the leader?"
Although he didn't understand why Jian Ao would ask such a question, he felt relieved when he thought of the special physique of Jian Ao. He said, "Inner sect disciples are under the jurisdiction of the inner sect elders, but this time, I will be the leader of the enrollment competition, and I will be the leader. They are just spectators. "
Huang Guicann's words caused the corner of Jian Ao's mouth to curve upwards. He looked at the inner sect disciple as if he was looking at an animal. He said in a soft voice, "You are just a spectator. What right do you have to deal with this matter? Do you know that you have overstepped your authority!? As for overstepping your authority, I believe that there are clear rules in the sect's rules! "
Although Jian Ao did not know how the Heavenly Sword Sect would deal with those who had overstepped their authority, it did not mean that he could not write an article about it. Whether it was in his previous life or here, overstepping one's authority was a very taboo.
"Elder, may I ask how the Heavenly Sword Grace is going to deal with those who have overstepped their authority?" Jian Ao asked in a deep voice.
"What do you want to do with it?"
Although the new students did not know why Jian Ao did it, they all spoke at the same time. In their hearts, Jian Ao was their leader. They naturally had to follow him for what he was doing.
"Those who overstep their authority, their cultivation will be abolished, and they will be expelled from the sect. "
Huang Guicann finally understood why Jian Ao would ask such a question. It turned out that Jian Ao wanted him to say the sect rules and punish that person.
This kind of scheming was not something a sixteen year old youth should have. What surprised him was that this batch of new students seemed to have been subdued by Jian Ao and were willing to follow him.
These new students might not be strong. But what about three years, or even ten years later? Perhaps the entire Wind Cloud Country would belong to Jian Ao alone.
Looking back at the information he gathered about Jian Ao, Huang Guicann came to a conclusion. This kid was definitely not an ordinary person!
Wind Cloud Country was not his destination. It was his starting point. The outside world truly belonged to him.
Hai Kuo was like a fish leaping into the sky, allowing the birds to fly freely in the sky.
Perhaps, the Heavenly Sword Sect would walk towards a new peak in this year's competition.
. . .
The face of the inner circle disciple who spoke earlier turned pale with a swoosh, even whiter than Jian Ao's white robe.
"Elder Huang, listen to me, I, I didn't do it on purpose, you have to believe me!" After hesitating for a while, He finally finished his sentence.
"Since it's your first time committing a crime, there won't be a next time! Now, you should immediately return to the sect to cultivate. This time, there's no need for you to participate in the enrollment competition! " Huang Guicann obviously didn't want to make things difficult for them and said hastily.
"Thank you, Elder. I'll leave now!" As if he had been granted amnesty, the disciple turned his head and headed towards the top of the mountain. He only glanced at Jian Ao out of the corner of his eye, revealing a trace of killing intent.
Almost, just a little bit more and he would have been sent to hell. All of this was caused by this brat. He had to cut this brat into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in his heart.
Regarding the killing intent, Jian Ao just smiled and didn't mind it at all.
There were many people who wanted to kill him, but it didn't matter if there were one more or one less. It wouldn't matter even if there was one less person.
These inner circle disciples were extremely wealthy, perhaps they could bring him some wealth!
"Elder, should we continue waiting?"
Although Jian Ao's words were a discussion, his tone was firm and unquestionable.
"En. It's still early, so it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. " Huang Guicann said with a smile.
Swoosh!
A piercing sound was heard, and a young man with blue light covering his body was seen shooting towards them from afar.
"Profound Water Blue Steps, the Du Family of Wind Water Country. "
Huang Guicann narrowed his eyes and revealed a thoughtful expression. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Wind Water Country! Du family!"
Jian Ao was standing in front of Huang Guicann. Naturally, he could hear what Huang Guicann said. He frowned.
Wind Water Country was adjacent to the Wind Cloud Country. It could be said that it was a neighboring country, but its strength was far greater than the Wind Cloud Country. Moreover, the Wind Water Country was the most special country among the five neighboring countries because the Alchemist Guild was one of them. It was an existence that the five countries could not compare with.
The Alchemist Guild, as the name suggested, was the place where a group of alchemists resided.
According to the Blood Slaughter Sword Sect, alchemists were involved in the alchemy industry. Every alchemist was a respected existence, and their connections were very wide.
It was rumored on the continent. It was a saying: alchemists were lofty and had a wide network of contacts. Every call was answered by hundreds of people. Offending one person would lead to heaven and earth, and there was no way to escape!
Such a simple sentence showed how terrifying an alchemist was. Therefore, on the continent, there was no way to escape! This was the reason why there were people who treated alchemists as a type of cultivation profession to show their respect.
Only blacksmiths were comparable to alchemists, and they were all known as blacksmiths.
They were the same as alchemists, and they specialized in one aspect. The difference was that they were alchemists, blacksmiths, and blacksmiths. However, they all had one thing in common: they had strong connections. As long as they spoke, countless experts would do things for them.
Thus, there was also a saying in the continent: one would rather offend the King of Hell than offend two teachers.
Furthermore, Jian Ao had come from the Blood Slaughter Sword Sect. In ancient times, there were many occupations that could be compared with the two master teachers. For example, formation masters, talisman masters. . . However, as time passed, these occupations gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes and traces of the continent, thus being overlooked and forgotten by others. Perhaps only those large families and major powers that had been passed down for a long time would know.
