Chapter 9
"I heard that a Connate Stage demonic beast has appeared in the Forbidden Forest. Recently, the disciples of the Golden Crow Sect, the Purple Cloud Sect, and several other sects have been hunting it."
"The so-called Innate Realm demonic beasts are born with a Demonic Core. Their bloodline is powerful and they can easily command hundreds of beasts. I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with, right?"
"Recently, a Fortune Master came to the market of West Mountain City. I heard that his fortune-telling is extremely accurate. Even the sect elders specially ran over to consult him."
…
"I heard from a senior brother in the inner sanctum that there will be important people from the Central Empire coming to watch the Rising Dragon Ceremony on the first day of the seventh month."
Suddenly, a piece of news caught Gu Chen's interest.
The Middle Earth Empire was thousands of kilometers away from the Eastern Desolate Continent. It was said that that was the center of the entire Kunlun Continent. The cultivation civilization there was extremely strong.
In the eyes of the people of Middle-Earth, the Eastern Wilderness was a barren land. The Feng Lin Manor in the Eastern Wilderness was even less famous.
A major figure from the Middle Lands was coming to the Dustless Sect. This kind of thing was too unusual.
"Every year, the other 67 sects of the Feng Lin Manor would send many people to spectate the Rising Dragon Ceremony. This is a common practice, but I've never heard of people from the Middle-Earth coming as well. Are you talking nonsense?"
"This matter is absolutely true. The news has already spread throughout the inner sect. I heard that the important figures of the Central Plains are here for a disciple."
"Who is it? Could it be because of Senior Brother Lei?"
Everyone was astonished. To be targeted by a major character of the Central Plains, no matter which disciple it was, they would feel as if they were going to fly up a branch and transform into a phoenix!
"Idiot, Senior Brother Lei has already been the chief disciple for many years, and he always gets first place in the Rising Dragon Ceremony every year. If someone wanted to come, they would have come long ago. According to reliable sources, the important figures of the Central Plains are here for Ye Qingshuang! "
"Ye Qingshuang has the Congenital Sacred Body. It is said that this kind of body is rare even in the Central Region. It is not surprising that she has attracted the attention of the Central Region forces."
"Tsk tsk, she's only been in the sect for two years and she's already reached this level. Senior Sister Ye is indeed a genius. Looks like she'll definitely be able to get the chief disciple position this time."
"That's a must. Only by becoming the chief disciple will he be able to attract the attention of the important figures of the Central Plains. I heard that the Great Elder has put a lot of effort into this."
The discussions of others caused ripples in Gu Chen's heart. He didn't expect that Ye Qingshuang would have such a great opportunity.
No wonder she was in such a hurry to break off the engagement with him. She probably didn't want to leave any stain on her reputation in front of the important figures of the Central Plains.
After all, she had relied on her own quota to enter the Wuchen Sect, which was not very honorable no matter how one looked at it.
"Ye Qingshuang, you want to spread your wings and soar high, and for that, you didn't hesitate to step on me again. Unfortunately, this time, I won't let you get what you want. I will make you fall from heaven to hell!"
Gu Chen secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind.
The queue was getting shorter and shorter, and the number of Vitality Pills around the deacon was also decreasing.
The disciples who came later basically had no luck with the pills. They stared at him, regretting that they didn't come earlier.
After two more people, it would be Gu Chen's turn. He waited expectantly.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door. Four disciples walked in, laughing and chatting.
"It's the Four Outstanding Disciples of the Outer Sanctum. They're here again at this time!"
Someone next to Gu Chen immediately said in a resentful tone.
"Bah! What Four Heroes of the Outer Sanctum? They're just four sly old foxes who couldn't enter the Inner Sanctum for many years and only know how to bully others! "
"Lower your voice, they're coming over."
The disciples' voices lowered, and the so-called Four Heroes of the Outer Sanctum talked and laughed. They walked past the queue openly and walked towards the deacon who was distributing the pills.
"Old Kong, do you still have Vitality Pills?"
The burly man in the lead grinned, as if he was very familiar with the deacon.
"Old Han, you guys came at the right time. There are only four bottles of Vitality Pills left." The deacon smiled and nodded.
"Oh, I see. We'll take them."
Han Dongliang squeezed to the front and was about to take all the remaining Vitality Pills.
"Senior Brother Han, I …"
A skinny disciple who had been queuing for a long time in front of Gu Chen and was staring at the Vitality Pills suddenly looked like he was about to cry and stammered.
What kind of luck was this? It was almost his turn, but the Four Heroes of the Outer Sanctum just had to come!
"What, you have a problem with that?"
Han Dongliang, who had been smiling, immediately turned his head. His face was fierce, and his voice rose an octave.
"No, no, I have no problem with that."
The disciple was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly waved his hand, not daring to argue anymore.
"How about you guys? Do you have a problem with that? Stand up if you do. I'm a very easy-going senior brother. "
Han Dongliang immediately looked at the rest of the disciples in the queue. He narrowed his eyes, clearly a smiling tiger.
The disciples looked sullen, but they dared not speak up.
Especially the last four disciples who could have gotten four bottles of Vitality Pills. Everyone looked at them sympathetically.
"Sigh, Han Dongliang and his group are like this every month. Even Deacon Kong is in cahoots with them."
"Heh, what can they do? They came in together, so of course they help each other. Especially when Han Dongliang has a cousin in the Inner Sanctum. That makes him even more fearless. "
"People like us who have no background can only blame it on our bad luck for encountering such things."
The disciples who had already received the pills discussed quietly. The eyes of the three disciples who had lost their Vitality Pills dimmed, and they did not dare to argue anymore.
"What right do you have to cut the queue?"
At this moment, a person strode out with a gloomy expression and a loud voice.
"That guy is …"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. All eyes were on the young man.
"Hmm? You are? You look quite familiar. "
Han Dongliang could not help but look over. At first glance, he felt that this person looked very familiar. Seeing his aggressive manner, he immediately thought that it was a guy with a backer and felt guilty.
"It's Gu Chen, Ye Qingshuang's fiancé. When did he enter the Outer Sanctum?"
Someone recognized him and said in shock.
At this moment, Gu Chen was very angry. He had queued so hard for so long and was finally about to receive the Vitality Pills. But this group of idiots rushed out and wanted to snatch it without saying anything.
Others could tolerate it, but not him!
If he wanted to defeat Ye Qingshuang in the Rising Dragon Ceremony, he had to race against time, and this Vitality Pill must not be lost!
"Ye Qingshuang's fiancé?"
Han Dongliang recalled after being reminded by others. No wonder this guy looked so familiar.
Everyone in the sect knew that Ye Qingshuang, the proud daughter of heaven, had a useless fiancé who could not cultivate essence energy even after two years in the sect.
He used to look at this trash from afar. He did not expect him to leave the Odd-Job Hall and be promoted to the Outer Sanctum.
"Heh, I was wondering which guy was so arrogant. So it's you. I heard that the engagement between you and Ye Qingshuang has been broken. Now that you have a backer, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me! "
Han Dongliang looked at Gu Chen with disdain.
"Old Han, don't look down on him. I heard that Hong Kuan was beaten up by him a few days ago and is still lying in bed."
One of the four outstanding outer disciples reminded.
"Hong Kuan was beaten up by this Gu Chen?"
Many of the Outer Sanctum disciples were in an uproar. This was really news.
"It's absolutely true. It happened in front of the Techniques Chamber. I saw it with my own eyes last time!" Immediately, a disciple echoed.
Ye Qingshuang's useless fiancé was finally promoted from a Odd-Job Hall to the Outer Sanctum and even defeated Hong Kuan. This was too fresh!
