C274 Who Is the Number One Disciple!(1)

In front of the inner gate of Heavenly Martial City, chaos reigned.

Woo Zhengyang's story was already a hot topic, and with him present, people naturally wanted to take a good look and have their say. If it were anyone else, being scrutinized and talked about like this would be overwhelming. Some might blush, while others might flee in embarrassment.

But for Woo Zhengyang, such commotion barely stirred his heart. He had a broad perspective, a far-reaching vision, and a steadfast dedication to martial arts.

"Has Loong Zhiwu been to the Pill King Pavilion?" Woo Zhengyang asked Liang Ruoxuan casually.

Liang Ruoxuan, being a young woman, felt a bit flustered by the attention, her cheeks flushed. Hearing Woo Zhengyang's question, she took a deep breath and carefully replied, "Sister Loong did come to the Pill King Pavilion looking for you. I gave her the pills you left. Once she heard you were fine, she left, asking me to tell you she had urgent matters to attend to and that you'd meet again if fate allowed."

"Urgent matters? Meet again if fate allows?" Woo Zhengyang was puzzled by Loong Zhiwu's message. As the head of the Heavenly Martial Academy, what could be more important than the Heavenly Martial Sect's Great Association? Her words seemed to carry a hidden meaning, as if she might not return.

Once Woo Zhengyang was sure Loong Zhiwu was safe, he felt relieved. After all, Zhiwu had gotten caught up in the chaos of No Life City because of him, and if anything had happened to Zhiwu, Zhengyang would have felt deeply indebted.

Just as Zhengyang was about to ask more questions, someone shouted, "The Profound Heaven Sect is here!"

Looking up, Zhengyang saw Helian Hanhai, the Grand Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, leading Helian Bozhong and others toward the inner gate.

"I'll catch up with you later!" Zhengyang told Liang Ruoxuan before stepping to the side of the Profound Heaven Sect's group.

Seeing Zhengyang, Helian Hanhai and Yue Jiuxiao's expressions turned sour. Helian Bozhong sneered, "Woo Zhengyang, why are you always lurking around? What are you doing following us?"

"No worries, I'm just heading into the inner city with you."

"What do you want in the inner city?"

"I'm looking for Moh Lunhui."

"What... Zhengyang, you're not seriously planning to challenge Moh Lunhui, are you?" Fu Chuan exclaimed from the side.

Fu Chuan's words stirred the crowd, who had quieted down due to Zhengyang's actions, into a frenzy once more. Woo Zhengyang, challenging Moh Lunhui? Wasn't he avoiding Moh Lunhui all this time?

"Challenge Moh Lunhui?" Helian Bozhong echoed in surprise, then scoffed, "Didn't you embarrass yourself enough last time?"

"That's my business. Since you all say I'm a disgrace to the Profound Heaven Sect, shouldn't you support me in challenging Moh Lunhui? Besides, if I really die at his hands, wouldn't you be thrilled?"

This time, Helian Bozhong remained silent, while Helian Hanhai scoffed, "For a rebellious disciple who disrespects his elders, do you think I'd let you in to embarrass us? Also, the elders and I have reached an agreement. For a traitor like you, the Profound Heaven Sect won't stand idly by. Once we meet with the Sect Master, we'll decide your fate together."

Zhou Lianshan sneered, chiming in, "Let's be clear, the situation is urgent. The decision will be made by the elders and Sect Master here in the city. Even if all the other elders support the Sect Master, it won't matter. You won't be able to use the title of a Profound Heaven Sect disciple for much longer!"

Zhou Lianshan's words were clear, and Woo Zhengyang understood, as did everyone else. Some knew about Woo Zhengyang's confrontation with the Grand Elder at the martial practicing field, while others didn't. But witnessing this scene, everyone realized the deep rift between them.

The idea of Woo Zhengyang being expelled from the Profound Heaven Sect was unexpected for everyone. Even if he hadn't shown up for the battle with Moh Lunhui, the aura of a prodigious disciple like Woo Zhengyang was indelible.

Would the Profound Heaven Sect really expel a disciple like this?

After a moment of reflection, some began to realize the truth. Woo Zhengyang was indeed a genius, but he had offended an even more powerful genius, someone known for holding grudges. If the Profound Heaven Sect wanted to avoid trouble, expelling Woo Zhengyang was undoubtedly the best course of action.

Woo Zhengyang, however, was not particularly disturbed by the prospect of being expelled. If the Profound Heaven Sect was truly under the control of people like Helian Hanhai, he wouldn’t want to stay even if they didn’t expel him.

Not being able to enter the inner city was something Woo Zhengyang had to consider. His principle was simple: if no one wrongs me, I won’t wrong anyone; but if someone wrongs me, I will retaliate.

From Uncle Fu to the Lau family, Moh Lunhui’s repeated actions had already crossed Woo Zhengyang’s line.
