Chapter 1729
Chapter 1729
"One, two, three … Nine! Heavens, all nine of the Luo Sect's Prophets have appeared! "
"It's not easy for the Prophets to meet even one of them. Today, all of them have appeared. What's so special about that candidate?"
The cultivators around the empty space were boiling with excitement. Such a situation was unheard of.
Gu Chen also sized up the nine Prophets seriously. Their attire was not much different from the ordinary Luo Sect disciples. They were all wearing black and white robes, with copper coins embroidered on the front and sleeves.
However, there were five additional purple lines embroidered on the sides of their shoulders, which represented their identity as Prophets.
Outer sect disciples had one purple line, inner sect disciples had two, deacons had three, elders had four, and the Prophets had five.
There was no doubt about the identities of these nine people. In the absence of the Great Prophets, they held the authority of the entire Luo Sect!
Fang Shijie had told Gu Chen beforehand that he would do his best to obtain the first place, but he was worried that he would cause too much of a commotion.
Gu Chen did not expect that he would be able to cause such a huge commotion and attract the nine Prophets. It seemed that the results of his hundred years of hard work had exceeded his expectations.
The nine Prophets descended around the Eight Trigrams Diagram. They did not look at the others, but stared at Fang Shijie with burning eyes.
At this moment, the illusion in the Eight Trigrams Diagram had disappeared. Fang Shijie's gaze swept across the approaching Prophets. His expression was very calm, and he had the demeanor of a general.
"Young man, I wish to accept you as my disciple. Are you interested in being my disciple?"
A Prophet who was slightly closer asked impatiently, as if he was afraid that he would be snatched away by others.
Before Fang Shijie could reply, the other Prophets could not hold back anymore.
"Old man! Don't even think about being first in line! This young man is the first one I have my eyes on! "
"I was the one who noticed him first. Why don't you follow the rules!"
A group of highly respected prophets actually started arguing in front of the crowd after just a few words. A few of them even started arguing with each other until their faces and ears turned red!
This scene landed in the eyes of the surrounding people, and they were all stunned.
They were wondering why the nine Prophets had rushed out of the inner sect in such a hurry, but it turned out that they were here to snatch a disciple!
Under normal circumstances, even if an examinee performed extremely well in the entrance examination, the Prophets would only inform them privately and let someone bring the examinee into the inner sect.
But now, they had all run to the Outer Sect. They didn't even care about their faces. They only wanted to snatch the person in their hands. It could be seen how amazing that handsome black-robed youth was!
"What kind of monster is this guy?"
In the crowd, Shao Heyang's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. It was already hard enough for him to feel that the Consecrator Chen had snatched the first place away from him. Who would have thought that in the same batch, there was actually another person who had realized his originally beautiful imagination and caused the Prophets to fight over him!
He took a closer look at Fang Shijie and realized that Fang Shijie was originally in the Tang siblings' group. His mood instantly worsened!
As for the Tang siblings, who were traveling with Gu Chen and Fang Shijie, their expressions were even more interesting.
"How is that possible?"
Tang Jianqing's eyes widened. Most of the time, his gaze fell on Fang Shijie. Occasionally, he would look at Gu Chen, as if he had seen a ghost.
Previously, when he was lucky enough to walk out of the Eight Trigrams at the last moment, he quickly learned from the people around him that the first person to come out was called Chen Yi.
When he heard this name, he first heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't Shao Heyang. This way, he could be considered to have won the bet!
Then, he carefully pondered. Why did this name sound so familiar?
When he clearly realized that Chen Yi, who had obtained the first place, was the person he knew, his entire mind was violently shocked.
He had studied hard for 65 years, but he couldn't even compare to a last-minute Itinerant Cultivator?
His heart was filled with grief and indignation. He looked at Gu Chen and suspected that he had cheated.
However, before he could accept this reality, an even more unbelievable reality appeared.
The black-robed youth who had been following behind Chen Yi like a follower had actually alarmed all the Prophets of Luo Men!
Success in one day!
After fantasizing about this scene, he knew very well that if nine Prophets were collectively fighting over him, the black-robed youth's future would be bright.
Not only would he be able to enter the inner sect, but he would also be nurtured as a core disciple once he entered the inner sect!
Tang Jianqing's heart was screaming that the heavens were unfair. He never would have thought that this person, whose name he didn't even remember, would actually become a big dark horse in this assessment!
Many candidates were envious, jealous, and resentful. After the nine Prophets fought over Fang Shijie, they realized that it was not good to argue here, so they decided to bring Fang Shijie back to the inner sect first!
"You all continue with the assessment. The disciples who passed the assessment will be arranged to stay in the outer sect first. The inner sect assessment will be held another day!"
One of the Prophets said a few words to the elder in charge of the assessment. Then, the nine of them brought Fang Shijie back to the cave in the waterfall.
Before Fang Shijie left, he secretly glanced at Gu Chen. Seeing that he nodded, he left with the Prophets without hesitation.
After this incident, coupled with the instructions of the Prophets before they left, all the candidates, whether they had finished the assessment or not, realized that they had become a foil.
Originally, the inner sect assessment would be held after the entrance assessment, but the Prophets decided to hold the assessment another day, which meant that they were not free today.
And the reason why they were not free was because they had not been able to snatch the disciple they wanted!
The attitude of the Prophets indirectly showed that in their eyes, all the candidates present were not as important as the one who had been taken away!
Many of the candidates were not convinced because they did not know how Fang Shijie had passed the assessment. From the beginning to the end, his actions were too strange.
Gu Chen was also very curious about how Fang Shijie had passed the assessment. Logically speaking, the last person to come out would not be able to get first place.
Because of the strange changes in the illusion, he had left the Eight Trigrams in a hurry, so he did not have an accurate grasp of the situation inside.
Originally, he wanted to wait for Fang Shijie to come out and ask about the specific situation inside the Eight Trigrams, so that he could compare it with his own experience. Unfortunately, this idea was not feasible now.
Fang Shijie had already entered the inner sect one step ahead, so it would not be easy to contact him. Even if he could contact him, he was the focus of attention now, so it was not appropriate to contact him.
It seemed that he could only wait and see, and wait until after the inner sect assessment.
The assessment continued, but with such a big incident, the rest of the assessment seemed to be much more sloppy.
Not only did the candidates lose their enthusiasm, even the Elders and disciples of the Luo Sect kept glancing at the waterfall, curious about what the Prophets were doing now.
It was not only the candidates who were confused, but they were also confused. This was the first time that such a situation had occurred in the entrance assessment.
Very quickly, the assessment ended. The number of people who passed the assessment and officially became Luo Sect's outer sect disciples was much less than in previous years.
Even so, with the appearance of a genius who shocked the Prophets, not only could this batch of assessment not be said to be bad, but it was also more outstanding than in previous years.
After all, the Luo Sect did not care about the number of disciples, they cared more about the aptitude.
A disciple with good aptitude could lead the Luo Sect to glory in the next ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years. The Luo Sect's disciples were never many, and they won by quality!
