C935 Guests with Ill Intentions
C935 Guests with Ill Intentions
"Senior Brother Lin, how many months till the Grand Competition of Ten Years begins?"
Although Ning Qi had heard that the ten-year competition would start this year, he didn't pay much attention to it. Therefore, after leaving Technique Transmitting Hall, he asked Lin Long.
Lin Long dared to understand these things and said directly, "Three months and five days."
He paused for a moment and glanced at Ning Qi suspiciously. "You are not planning to participate in this competition, are you? junior brother Ning, let me give you a word of advice. It's better to give up on this idea. Outer sect disciples like us, who don't have a Master, are more than a thousand people. Only a few dozen Qi Refining Tenth Rank Great Perfection senior brothers are qualified to participate in this competition. But... They were still no match for the direct disciples of the three elders. After all... We can only listen to one class for ten days to half a month... And they... If you have any problems with your cultivation, you can ask the three elders at any time. The starting line is different. "
Lin Long said earnestly.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to know the time. It's not certain whether I will participate or not."
Ning Qi smiled.
Besides Lau Dongtao who was slightly afraid of disciples of the same level as him, even Lu Qing was confident that he could crush them with his physical body without relying on his divine soul or the Dragon Slaying Blade.
However, there were still three months left. He could go out and find some opportunities to advance.
The next day.
Outer Sect Academy.
"This is incredible!"
A ninth level Qi Refining outer sect disciple ran in with a panicked expression on his face.
"What happened? Anxious!"
Lin Long dared to glare at him. Ning Qi had just gotten up and was ready to take a few missions in Knowledgeable Ancient Sect and leave the mountain.
The outer sect disciple of the ninth level of Qi Refining said with a terrified expression, "Elder Mo Tian of the Blood Moon Cult, Elder Gu Datong of the Righteous One Sword Sect, and Elder Shi Tianxin of the White Bone Temple have brought their disciples to our Knowledgeable Ancient Sect as guests! I saw with my own eyes that Elder Lu Qianzhan was the one who personally welcomed them when they entered the mountain gate! "
"What?! What are these three sects doing here?! They must be up to no good!"
Lin Long was shocked.
The other outer sect disciples looked at each other with ashen faces. Seeing this, Ning Qi turned to Lin Long and asked in a low voice, "Senior disciple Lin, why are these three sects here with ill intentions?"
Lin Long dared to look left and right, then pulled Ning Qi to a corner. He said in a low voice, "You just entered the sect not long ago. Do you know that our Sect Leader was seriously injured by a Mid Period of Battle Core Stage warrior who passed by a while ago? Because of this, all the nearby major sects are eyeing our Knowledgeable Ancient Sect like a tiger watching its prey. They want to seize the divine item of our Knowledgeable Ancient Sect! Before you came, these three sects had already secretly attacked us more than a dozen times. All of them were resolved by the three elders at the same time. Who would have thought that... This time, they came to our Knowledgeable Ancient Sect brazenly. They must be harboring evil intentions! "
" So that's how it is. No wonder Lu Qing wanted me to come to Knowledgeable Ancient Sect. According to what Lin Long said, the Knowledgeable Ancient Sect was now Fengyu Piaoling. They are surrounded by enemies from all sides. The addition of one Qi Refining Tenth Rank outer circle disciple will increase their strength. We have been recruited."
A hint of mockery flashed across Ning Qi's eyes.
At this moment, the Deacon Chief elder who had thrown an outer circle disciple token to Ning Qi earlier... He walked in once again. His name was Song Ming. His cultivation base was about the same as Lau Dongtao's, and neither of them had stepped into the Battle Core Stage. However, he had already comprehended his own Law, and Ning Qi had asked around. There were more than twenty people like him in the Knowledgeable Ancient Sect. Only two or three of them were nurtured by the Knowledgeable Ancient Sect, while the rest were recruited before joining the Knowledgeable Ancient Sect. They were all rogue cultivators.
If one were to say that the Knowledgeable Ancient Sect had the highest status in the Sect Leader, then it would be second to the three elders. After that would be Lau Dongtao, the only inner circle disciple. After that... It was only Lu Qing, Lu Feng, and the other three elders' personal disciples' turn. As for a Deacon Chief elder like Song Ming... It was equal to Lu Qing and the others.
After that, there would be a top existence amongst the outer circle disciples. The group of Qi Refining Tenth Rank Great Perfection disciples would be ranked according to their cultivation base. For existences like Ning Qi and Lin Long, their status was only lower than those at the ninth, eighth, and Seventh Rank Qi Refining stage. The disciples who had yet to mature were slightly stronger.
Song Ming lightly swept his eyes across the crowd and said, "Because the three major sects are here as guests, they need some Qi Refining Tenth Rank disciples to serve them. I'll pick ten people, and those who have their names chosen, come with me."
After he finished speaking, he called out nine names in a row, and one of them was Lin Long. The nine people who were called didn't have a good expression on their faces. The last one was Song Ming. He glanced at Ning Qi and pointed at him. He said indifferently, "You, come with me!"
"Yes, Song Deacon."
Everyone replied in unison.
Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
The ones in charge of entertaining the guests were those at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even those at the eighth level of Qi Refining, Qi Refining Tenth Rank outer sect disciples, were all bitterly cultivating. They wouldn't be arranged to do this kind of work, but when some of the guests had a higher status... They were needed to support the scene.
...
In the living room of Knowledgeable Ancient Sect.
The Great Elder of the Blood Moon Cult, Mo Tian, the Great Elder of the Righteous One Sword Sect, Gu Datong, and the Great Elder of White Bone Temple, Shi Tianxin, were all sitting on the armchair. Behind the three of them stood ten disciples. Three of them had similar auras as Lau Dongtao. They were clearly Heavenly Prodigy that had comprehended the power of Laws.
Although Lu Qianzhan was sitting on the main seat, his movements were somewhat stiff. Lu Qing and the other two stood behind Lu Qianzhan. They looked at each other and sized each other up.
Lu Qianzhan knew that these three old men had evil intentions when they came to the Knowledgeable Ancient Sect. But now that the Sect Leader was seriously injured and was in secluded cultivation, Wen Xu and another Great Elder, Wong Quan... He had to come out first to feign civility and test the other party's intentions this time. Lu Qianzhan had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in front of the three of them.
Although the four of them were all Early Period of Battle Core Stage First-class Experts, but... Lu Qianzhan knew that he had only condensed 120 Laws. As for the Blood Moon Cult's Mo Tian, he had condensed over 900 Laws. It wouldn't take long for him to break through to the Mid Period of Battle Core Stage.
Gu Datong was the second one. He had also condensed more than 800 Law Energies. His strength was on par with Gu Datong's. Any one of the three of them could easily defeat him.
"May I know why the three of you have come to Knowledgeable Ancient Sect?"
Lu Qianzhan cleared his throat and said with a smile.
"I have come to Knowledgeable Ancient Sect. Don't tell me you don't even have tea to drink?"
A mocking smile appeared on Gu Datong's face.
Lu Qianzhan was slightly startled, then he smiled and said, "The tea will be served soon. It will be served soon."
"En, let's drink the tea first. We will talk about it later."
Mo Tian also nodded slightly.
As for Shi Tianxin, he had been observing the situation from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, a few outer sect disciples walked in with tea in their hands. Lu Qing and the other two who were standing behind Lu Qianzhan were slightly startled, because one of them was Ning Qi, whom they had picked up on their way back.
Ning Qi acted as if he didn't see them, and walked straight towards Gu Datong. At this moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Gu Datong's face. Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly. He felt a mysterious force pushing his body forward. After that, he poured all the tea on Gu Datong's body.
"How dare you!"
The disciple behind Gu Datong who had the same Qi as Lau Dongtao immediately stood up and glared at Ning Qi.
