"Fellow Daoist Su, so it's you! Are you here to give me spirit stones?"

"Haha, you are such a good person!"

In the main hall, Chi Dan and Elder Zhang had a grudge, and it was impossible for Elder Zhang to give it spirit stones for no reason at all. Knowing this, Chi Dan did have it.

His companions and Huo Luan were all on the same side, so they were directly ignored by Chi Dan. And these fifty-seven children hadn't even become disciples yet, so they definitely didn't have any spirit stones on them.

Only Su Liang had no enmity with Chi Dan, and he was also the head of the Hollow Jade Sect's peak. He was rich and imposing, and he just happened to have come from outside the main hall.

"Cough cough …"

As for Su Liang, he was not surprised at all. In fact, he even agreed to it. It was just that the words that Tian Ci said to Chi Dan's ear caused him to be slightly dazed. He had a bad feeling that something had happened.

The premonition came true. The Scarlet Core Demon King woke up with a start and quickly ran towards him, asking for spirit stones and even praising him. This caught him off guard.

"Little Dan, Uncle Su won't give you the Spirit Stones. The person who gave them to you is outside. If you want Spirit Stones, go ask someone outside for them!"

Originally, he only wanted to use a different method to wake Little Dan up so that he wouldn't be in an awkward situation. This method was very useful, Heaven's Gift really didn't meet with an awkward situation, but he didn't think of it.

"Then why aren't you leaving yet!"

After breaking through Uncle Su's encirclement, Little Dan found out that Uncle Su was not here to give them spirit stones, and was then stopped by her. She was in a bad mood, and when she thought about the spirit stones being given out, she became extremely excited.

"Uncle Su, Little Dan is always this heartless, don't mind him!" Seeing the anxious look on the little monkey's face, even Tian Ci felt quite helpless.

"Haha, no harm …"

"Ah..."

"Motherf * cker, why are there so many people? You're scaring the baby to death!"

After interacting with Chi Dan, Su Liang had some understanding of his personality, but he did not put it to heart. However, with Tian Ci's help, he felt a little bit more at ease.

When the day of Haotian's test ended and he left in despair, many people were sighing and sighing emotionally. Many people were mocking him, but everyone was looking forward to seeing who would be the next to enter the exam.

Everyone originally thought that the Hollow Jade Sect would hold the entire disciple recruitment ceremony before letting Tian Ci meet with everyone. When they found out that Su Liang had gone to receive Tian Ci, everyone's gazes and divine intents were all gathered at the entrance of the hall.

As soon as the scarlet core appeared, before they could even find the person who gave them the spirit stones, it was immediately enveloped by everyone's consciousness. They were greatly shocked, and turned around and fled back into the main hall.

"Serves you right, who asked you to be greedy!"

"Uncle Su, let's go!"

If it weren't for the fact that she was greedy, he would never have gotten involved in such a big deal. However, facing her greed, he couldn't help but mock her. He had no other choice but to try to change her greedy personality.

He mocked Little Dan in front of everyone. From his understanding of Little Dan, he knew that Little Dan wouldn't let him go so easily. Therefore, he didn't even give it a chance to retaliate.

Not only did it not give Chi Dan the chance to speak, Su Liang also did not give it the chance to speak.

Chi Dan was currently angry, and there was no place for him to vent his anger. Whoever messed with him would have bad luck. Elder Zhang and Huo Luan also ignored him and left with Su Liang and Tian Ci.

"Stinky brat, stop right there. I'm not done with you!"

After being ridiculed, Chi Dan was enraged and roared at the top of his lungs. He did not want to make a fool of himself in front of all these people, so he ignored them. The other three did not turn back, and Chi Dan chased after them.

With the departure of the four people and one beast, the hall quieted down. It was as if there was no one else in the hall. On the contrary, not only were there people in the hall, there were also a lot of people.

The dignified Hollow Jade Sect naturally had plenty of spirit beasts. This second generation elder and fifty-seven children had also stayed in the sect for quite some time, so they must have seen them all. The only rare spirit beast was probably the Monster King.

It wasn't the first time that some of the children had seen Chi Dan. Now, their mouths were wide open; clearly, they were shocked by him, or perhaps they were shocked by his actions.

These children already knew about the relationship between Heaven's Gift and Chi Dan. Some children were envious, and some children were jealous. After seeing Tian Ci and Chi Dan interacting with each other like family members, these children's moods became even heavier.

He didn't care about the feelings of the children behind him because his was even worse than them. After all, he had to face the feelings of the people under the heavens.

This wasn't the first time he had stepped into the great hall of the sect. But now that he was outside the hall, the feeling he got was clearly different.

Five days ago, he entered the main hall and two months ago, it was the same as when he left the main hall. Five days ago, he entered the main hall and two months later, he left the main hall.

Although he had only cultivated the body tempering technique for two months in the Hollow Jade Sect, this pressure was not unfamiliar to him. This was a barrier that prevented his Spiritual Sense from detecting anything. This was something he had heard about the barrier from Su He.

After that pressure appeared, it did not have much of an effect on the Divine Body. It only made them feel a bit uncomfortable, but the others weren't affected at all. It was as if the Spirit Formation didn't even exist.

Stepping out of the great hall, the world flipped upside down.

Although Chu Feng had anticipated this earlier, his eyes were still filled with countless heads. He was still shocked by what he saw.

At the same time, Tian Ci felt an enormous pressure pressing down on him, so much that he could not breathe. The pressure came from the greedy gazes of the crowd, as well as from the probing of their consciousness.

In the past, when he crossed the border, there would always be many people watching him. However, almost all of them were mortals. No matter how many people there were, there wouldn't be more than a thousand.

Facing the greedy eyes of almost everyone, even if the Heaven's Gift was tough and tenacious, they were still a little afraid. They took a step back and slowly approached the Scarlet Core who was running out.

"Humph!"

Being together with Tian Ci, Chi Dan could be heartless, he could bully Tian Ci, but that did not mean that outsiders could be like this. If someone wanted to bully Tian Ci, he would not just stand by and watch.

"Cough cough. Fellow Daoists, there is no need to get angry. You are really too concerned about me. If there is anything wrong with that, please forgive me, Fellow Daoists."

It wasn't just the guests who sent out their spiritual sense to observe the Heaven's Gift. Yin Xian was also observing the Heaven's Gift. Seeing Chi Dan step forward to block the Heaven's Gift, this was exactly what he was looking forward to.

After all, this was the Hollow Jade Sect and the Sect Leader had yet to come out from closed door cultivation. Yin Xian was, after all, the Sect Leader of the First Peak, and he was also the Acting Sect Leader.

He didn't need to worry about the face of the crowd. Yin Xian wanted to use it to suppress the arrogance of the crowd, and at the right time, he would intervene to resolve the conflict. This would let everyone know who was the true master of the Hollow Jade Sect.

Everyone was clear about Yin Xian's intentions. If there wasn't a possibility that this was Shentu Shun's plan, they would give him some face.

Now that he was faced with such a huge temptation, the crowd was outnumbered, and there was no need to worry about Yin Xian turning hostile, so there was no need to give him face. As for Chi Dan, everyone could see his cultivation base, and even if he was a demon king, no one would care about him, much less a demon king.

However, Chi Dan Qi and Yin Xian's words were not completely useless. There were still a lot of people who withdrew their consciousness from the Hollow Jade Sect disciples.

Withdrawing his soul consciousness didn't necessarily mean that he had to give face to Yin Xian, but because he was at the Hollow Jade Sect and couldn't run away, and because of the pressure from the crowd, regardless of whether the Hollow Jade Sect was willing or not, they would still give everyone an explanation.

As the substitute sect head, Yin Xian could think of all these too. He didn't think these people were just giving face to the sect, and since that was the case, he wouldn't be grateful to those who cooperated with him.

Some people could figure this out. After dispersing the divine sense from Tian Ci, some people still couldn't suppress their greed and refused to withdraw their divine sense. Therefore, Yin Xian didn't hold back when facing this group of people.

"Fellow Daoists, you have been bestowed with a mortal body by the Heavens. You can't take the torment, Fellow Daoists!"

"Fellow Daoists, we are all honored guests invited by this humble sect, and Heaven's Gift is only a child. If Fellow Daoists continue to stare at him like this, you will be scared of him."

"If Little Friend Tian Ci is frightened, I'm afraid that she won't dare to meet all of you. I hope that you don't continue tormenting her."

Yin Xian didn't say anything threatening, but the threat was obvious. If these people still didn't understand, then it would be a waste of his years of cultivation.

Due to the situation, the Hollow Jade Sect was unable to stop Tian Long from meeting with the crowd. However, it was not a problem for the Hollow Jade Sect to delay the meeting time.

Everyone was displeased to be threatened. However, they knew that if this continued, it would only buy them more time. They quickly withdrew their divine senses.

Everyone withdrew their spiritual sense and felt their bodies lighten. They then took a deep breath.

In that instant when they left the hall, Tian Ci felt as if a sea of flames had descended from a mountain of blades. His forehead was covered in sweat, and if the crowd did not withdraw their spiritual sense, he might really retreat into the hall.

If that was the case, Yin Xian's threat would not be a threat, but a fact.

Yin Xian did not want to offend the crowd, he just wanted to give them a reminder to let them know his identity. Since everyone was unhappy about his identity, he needed to comfort them before he could find out.

"Fellow Daoists, you have put in a lot of effort to come here to meet with me. This is also a kindness, so of course I will not refuse your kind intentions. Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be impatient."

They tried their best to appease Yin Xian, but many of them didn't appreciate his kindness. Since that was the case, Yin Xian didn't want to waste anymore time and energy on this task, so he decided to just ignore it.

"Fellow Daoist Chi Dan, please step forward and chat!"

"Little friend Tian Ci, come, come to my side!"
