Are you challenging me? That Black Turtle Sanctums disciple whom Gu Chun challenged seemed stunned.
Although he was not the strongest among all the disciples living in the 1,000 Tertius houses, he was ranked in the middle as a Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage Martial cultivator. However, a disciple who had just entered the Black Turtle Sanctum dared to challenge him for the ownership of the Tertius house he lived in?
When he regained his senses, he looked at Gu Chun with a cold gaze.
Gu Chuns only at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, but he actually dares to challenge a senior disciple staying in a Tertius house? Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he narrowed his eyes. He could not figure out where Gu Chun got his courage from.
Among the senior disciples in Black Turtle Sanctum who lived in Tertius houses, there should not be many of them at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. Most of them should be at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage or above. Gu Chun had just arrived, but he dared to arbitrarily issue a challenge to a senior disciple?
The group of Black Turtle Sanctums new disciples, including Duan Ling Tian, and some of the senior disciples from Black Turtle Sanctum quickly gathered around to watch the show.
Wang Jiu, it seems like you look weak. To think that a newbie regards you as a soft persimmon!
Many of the senior disciples from Black Turtle Sanctum laughed and mocked the disciple whom Gu Chun had challenged.
Wang Jius face turned green when he heard his companions mocking him. His gaze turned colder as he looked at Gu Chun. Boy, I, Wang Jiu, accept your challenge! Come on! Show me how strong you are. To think youre so bold as to challenge me!
As soon as he finished speaking, killing intent surged out of his body.
Gu Chun did not seem like he was going to make a move even when he saw Wang Jiu gathering his energy. Instead, he hovered in the air and stared at Wang Jiu calmly. Youre Wang Jiu?
What? You took the initiative to challenge me, are you afraid to make a move now? Wang Jiu chuckled contemptuously with a disdainful expression on his face.
Sometimes, theres no need for one to make a move to win a challenge. Who knows you might even take the initiative to admit defeat later, Senior Brother Wang Jiu? Under the watchful eyes of the others, a faint smile appeared on Gu Chuns face. He seemed certain that he was going to win.
Upon hearing Gu Chuns words, Wang Jiu was stunned. However, he quickly regained his senses and smirked. Admit defeat? Are you dreaming?
Admit defeat? Gu Chun is overestimating himself too much, right? Many new disciples shook their heads. They looked at Gu Chun as though they were looking at an idiot.
Is Gu Chun crazy? Hes a new disciple at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. Why is he so confident the senior disciple is going to admit defeat? Hes daydreaming!
Does he really think hes invincible just because he possesses a green Innate Spiritual Root? How ridiculous!
The new disciples with yellow Innate Spiritual Roots who came with Duan Ling Tian mocked Gu Chun.
Nobody knew why, but the new disciples who came with Gu Chun remained silent.
A few of them seemed to be deep in thought as they looked at Gu Chun with a slight frown on their faces.
Early Exemplary Saint Stage? The senior disciples present on the scene soon learned of this from the discussion among the new disciples from Black Turtle Sanctum.
They looked at Wang Jiu and mocked him again.
Wang Jiu, did you hear what they said? This junior brothers cultivation base is only at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, but he has a green Innate Spiritual Root. Hes not someone you can offend!
Thats right! Hurry up, and admit defeat! Although this junior brother is not as strong as you are now, it doesnt mean he cant surpass you in the future!
Wang Jiu, be sensible! If you dont want to suffer in the future, its better if you admit defeat and give up your house!
The group of senior disciples from Black Turtle Sanctum seemed to be advising Wang Jiu with good intentions, but in truth, they were all mocking him.
So what if Gu Chun had a green Innate Spiritual Root? Just based on this alone, he was not eligible to live in a Tertius house as soon as he arrived.
Green Spiritual Root? Wang Jiu was angered when he heard his companions words. His face turned red as he vented his anger at Gu Chun. So what if you have a green Innate Spiritual Root? Its not enough for me to admit defeat! Youre just an Early Exemplary Saint Stage cultivator, but you dare to look down on me? If I dont teach you a lesson today, my surname is not Wang!
When he reached the end of his sentence, his voice turned colder. It seemed as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped as well.
Gu Chun remained calm as he replied indifferently, Thats right. My Innate Spiritual Root is not enough to scare you into giving up your house, but what if I tell you my master is the Silver Flame Elder Li An from the Black Turtle Sanctum? Gu Chun sneered when he finished speaking. His gaze turned colder as well when he looked at Wang Jiu.
Li An!
The moment his words left his mouth, apart from those new disciples with green Innate Spiritual Roots who had an expectant expression on their faces, everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, widened their eyes. Some of them had fear in their eyes as well.
Wang Jius anger was like a fire that had been doused with water as soon as these words left Gu Chuns mouth.
If he was the disciple of one of the other four Silver Flame Elders in Black Turtle Sanctum, it would be okay if he did not give up his house since the other four Silver Flame Elders were not so petty as to take offense. However, Li An who was known as the strongest Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum was different. He was famous for being vengeful in the Black Turtle Sanctum and the Fire Worship Sect.
Those who offended him usually did not have a good ending.
For this reason, in the Black Turtle Sanctum and the Fire Worship Sect, no one would offend Li An and his disciples unless they had someone stronger as a backing.
This was the reason why Wang Jius anger had disappeared. He shuddered when he heard Li Ans name.
Hes Elder Li Ans disciple?
It has been a long time since Elder Li An had last taken in a disciple. Why did he suddenly accept a new disciple who only has a green Innate Spiritual Root?
As far as I know, Elder Li Ans three other disciples have blue Innate Spiritual Roots. Why would Elder Li An take someone with only a green Innate Spiritual Root as his disciple?!
Many of the senior disciples were baffled when they heard Gu Chuns words.
Since when did Elder Li Ans judgment become so bad?
Naturally, they did not think Gu Chun was lying since no one from the Black Turtle Sanctum would dare to joke using Elder Li Ans name!
Whats going on?
How did Gu Chun become Elder Li Ans disciple?
Dont tell me its because his performance is so outstanding during the strength assessment that Elder Li An took a liking to him?
The group of new disciples who possessed yellow Innate Spiritual Roots looked at the new disciples with green Innate Spiritual Roots curiously. It was as though they were trying to get answers from them.
When the senior disciples heard this discussion, they turned to look at the new disciples with green Innate Spiritual Roots.
Gu Chun did not perform outstandingly well during the strength assessment. The only reason he managed to become Elder Li Ans disciple is due to his promise to Elder Li An to help him deal with Duan Ling Tian! One of the new disciples with green Innate Spiritual Roots replied indignantly. When he spoke, he had intentionally looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Its all because of Duan Ling Tian? All the new disciples instantly shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian.
My goodness! How much does Elder Li An hate Duan Ling Tian? Just because Gu Chun flattered him and told him he would help him deal with Duan Ling Tian, he took him as a disciple?
It seems like hes really furious over the fact that Duan Ling Tian killed his best friends son in front of him!
Thats ridiculous! Elder Li An is not that petty, right? Isnt this ridiculous?
The group of new disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian strangely as they whispered among themselves.
They were not the only ones who found it baffling. Even Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded when he learned of the reason Li An had taken Gu Chun as a disciple.
It was a little too much, was it not?
At the same time, the senior disciples finally understood what was going on when they heard about how Duan Ling Tian had killed Yang Wu, the son of the Northern Plethora Sects fifth elder. He was also Elder Li Ans best friend.
The senior disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian with approval.
Someone who dared to oppose Elder Li An regardless of the consequences was someone they sincerely admired.
Elder Li An must hate him very much. To think he arbitrarily accepted a disciple with a green Innate Spiritual Root just to seek revenge from him?
The senior disciples were confused as well. In the end, they only concluded that Elder Li An hated Duan Ling Tian very much.
Meanwhile, some of the new disciples standing near Duan Ling Tian began to move away from him, avoiding him as though he was a plague.
I admit defeat! At the same time, Wang Jiu who had suppressed his anger took the initiative to surrender out of fear toward Silver Flame Elder Li An. Subsequently, he left his Tertius house dejectedly with his head hung low.
Those who can adapt and act according to the situation are wise! Gu Chun said arrogantly. The moment his words left his mouth, he shifted his cold gaze from Wang Jiu to Duan Ling.
Other people thought Li An had taken him as his disciple because he had flattered him and promised him to help him seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian. However, only he knew there was another reason as well. He had told him he would be able to recommend another person with green Innate Spiritual Root who would be 100% willing to become his disciple.
Gu Chun had promised Li An this through Voice Transmission.
Hurmph! When Duan Ling Tian saw Gu Chun enter the Tertius house and was about to shut the door, he snorted coldly. Then he appeared in front of the Tertius house quickly and lifted his hand to stop the door from closing.
