Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 812 – Disciple (continued)

“Then this time, the seventh and eighth slots for the elite disciples will be held by Yang Jingjie and …”

“Hold on!”

Just as he was about to announce the names of the two elite disciples, Chu Chuang frowned. When he looked over, he saw a disciple walking out nervously, and could not help but avoid his gaze when he saw Chu Chuang.

“Yang Zixuan, what are you doing?”

Chu Chuang’s tone was very dissatisfied, however, his gaze did not turn towards the fourth generation disciple of the Madame Yang, but instead, turned towards the elders of the Madame Yang who were watching the battle from afar.

Chu Chuang knew that this Yang Qin Xuan was normally average among the cultivators of the fourth generation in Madame Yang, he could not be considered outstanding, and his courage was not superior to others. Yet, he dared to stand out right now, so it would be hard to say that Chu Chuang did not have anyone backing him.

It seemed like he wanted to gain some courage from the man behind him. Fortunately, this boy had some intelligence, and in the end, he forcefully stopped his movements. He took a deep breath and said: “Reporting to head storekeeper, this disciple has objections to Ding Rulan becoming the elite disciple of my Madame Yang!”

Many of these spectators were not from Madame Yang, and upon seeing Yang Zixuan come forward to question the qualifications of an elite disciple with another surname alace, they immediately thought of something. At the same time, their expressions changed, and they all turned to look at Chu Chuang, who was on the stage, to see what he would do next.

The noise of the spectators and the change in the atmosphere naturally could not be concealed from the experienced Chu Chuang. He secretly cursed Yang Qin Xuan for not being successful in everything, and immediately activated his Dantian’s Qi and shouted, “Silence!”

Chu Chuang had been the head shopkeeper of the Madame Yang Merchant Group for many years, and during this period, the number of Yang’s Diciples in the caravan had increased, so more than once, the heads of the Madame Yang’s relatives wanted to snatch the position of the Merchant Group’s head from his hands, but Chu Chuang’s position had instead become more and more stable.

This kind of person had good intellect and skills, and his cultivation was also high. In addition to the aura of a person of high standing that she had experienced for many years while in charge of the Madame Yang Merchant Group, she was quite prestigious even amongst the Yang family.

“The reason?”

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Chu Chuang immediately asked Yang Qin Xuan.

“Disciple suspects that she is in cahoots with an outsider just like Liu Lichang!”

He only said “outsiders” and not “outsiders”, so he still had some intelligence. Chu Chuang snorted, and then stared at Yang Qin Xuan and asked a short question: “Evidence?”

I once sent people to investigate him. She was merely a daughter of the Spiritual Farmers, and although she was previously selected as one of the elite seeds of the Wilderness Town, she only knew one kind of Little Cloud Rain Spell, but ever since she came to the Wasteland Town, her cultivation had climbed up a notch every single time. Not only did she learn an additional spell, she had even learned a spirit art. Furthermore, this disciple also noticed that after every Large Competition, other than going back to the Xishan Village to spend the night, this disciple would go out everyday during the day and head downstream. After coming to the Xishan Village, which one of you didn’t use the dense spirit energy here to cultivate day and night? If there are no ghosts amongst them, would everyone believe it? ”

In one breath, Yang Qin Xuan explained his reasons. The crowd of cultivators on the drill grounds began to whisper to each other again, one had to admit that what Yang Qin Xuan said was very reasonable. If everything he said was true, then Ding Rulan was worthy of suspicion.

In truth, some people had long since noticed the change in Ding Rulan. However, these people either had cultivations that were far higher than the disciples that were participating in the Large Competition, or they had enough experience and experience, as a fourth generation minor cultivator like you, how many times had Wasteland Town gone out to see it?

Moreover, send someone to the Wilderness Town to investigate Ding Rulan’s background. Where did a fourth generation cultivator like you get the energy from?

The most important thing is, in the first few rounds, Yang Junping was the one spectating the competition. Even if there was something wrong with Ding Rulan, could it be that you and the person behind you are even stronger than Daoist Master Jun Ping? He didn’t say anything, yet you dare to question her qualifications as an elite disciple?

Chu Chuang looked towards the pavilion at the head of the drill grounds without leaving a trace. Yang Junping, who had been watching the tournament all this while, was actually a little confused by the scene before him. Could it be that those people had calculated the whereabouts of Spiritual Master Jun Ping and purposely launched an attack today?

He did not know that because Yang Qinxi and Yang Qinyao’s Gourd Sword Embryo were about to be successfully nurtured, but the more they were about to succeed, the more danger they faced. Yang Junping was worried about the safety of his children.

The fact that Master Jun Ping did not appear caused Chu Chuang’s heart to feel slightly gloomy. He could not help but look at Ding Rulan who was standing on the arena alongside Yang Qinjie and ask: “Ding Rulan, someone questioned your qualifications as an elite disciple, what do you say?”

Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at her, causing Ding Rulan to instantly feel a heavy pressure. This feeling was even stronger than the pressure when she was fighting in the arena!

The heavens have mercy on her. She was just a loose cultivator girl who came from the countryside. When had she ever seen such a scene?

Furthermore, being criticized by Yang’s Diciples on the spot in sucuge being like him, made him panic on the spot!

At the beginning, she only felt that it was fortunate that she had received guidance from an expert. Along the way, she only got excited because her strength had increased again and again, and now that she was being questioned, even if she was unwilling to believe it, she had no choice but to mutter to herself: “Could it be that there really is something wrong with that senior?”

When Chu Chuang asked her about it, it was actually to give her a chance to explain himself. However, this lady was stumped for words, and the more he couldn’t say it, the more anxious he became. He was so sweating that he was at a loss for what to do, but in the eyes of others, she actually thought that she was feeling guilty.

“There’s definitely something wrong with her!”

Another doubt sounded in the crowd.

“I think so too. If he’s so magnanimous, then why is he so afraid to say it out loud?”

Someone in the crowd immediately echoed his words.

“After the removal of her elite disciple status, according to the previous example of Chi Feifei replacing Liu Lichang, her position should be replaced by the eliminated Yang Zixuan in the third round!”

“No, if that’s the case, then wouldn’t Yang Qin Xuan have picked up a big advantage? I think the people who were eliminated by Ding Rulan in the previous two rounds should have once again competed!”

“In that case, that means that Fei Fei should once again compare positions …”

“Right, we have to compete again. This is unfair!”

“Unfair...”

“I want to challenge Ding Rulan!”

“I want to challenge Chi Feifei!”

“...”

The audience suddenly burst into an uproar. The cultivators on the drill ground were inexplicably excited, some were whispering to each other, some were gloating, and some were in a state of mind...

When these expressions fell into the eyes of Chu Chuang, who was on the stage, he could not help but secretly curse in his heart that there was actually such a useless fellow in the Yang family, even if they wanted to reject disciples with another surname and let them take the position of their own, but for their own selfish reasons, who would be the one to ruin the scene in front of them?

Aside from the people of Madame Yang and the people of Xishan Village, there were many other villages watching the battle today. If this could not be resolved, then Yang Tiangang’s meticulous planning for the elite competition to bribe the cultivators of Hu Yao and Meng Yu would become a laughingstock in the cultivation world of Yuzhou!

It caught the few senior cultivators of the Madame Yang off guard. A few of the Madame Yang cultivators in the distance, who had participated in the planning for today’s events or knew about it, did not expect the situation to turn out like this, some of them even realized that they had lost control of the situation, and took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to leave the place stealthily.

At this time, only Yang Qinjie, Ding Rulan, and Chu Chuang were left standing on the stage. The audience below the stage had already been surrounded by many spectating cultivators and many people were shouting from the crowd.

It was at this moment thaerson suddenly walked slowly up the stairs from below the arena. The sudden appearance of this person immediately attracted the attention of everyone beneath the arena.

When Chu Chuang saw this person, his eyes suddenly lit up, and fiercely shouted, “Su Changan, what are you doing up here?” With that, all of the Qi exploded, and an aura that had reached the level of Great Perfection of the martial arts realm spread out, causing everyone below to hold their breath for a while, and he shouted loudly: “Su Changan!”

Su Changan?

This person’s identity was a little special. Everyone below the stage were first intimidated by Chu Chuang’s loud shout, and then immediately shifted their attention when they heard the name Su Changan.

Then, they saw Su Changan slowly walk to the front of the terrified Ding Rulan and suddenly laughed. “Junior sister Ding, come with me to pay respects to teacher!”

“...”

The drill grounds, which had hundreds or thousands of people present, instantly fell silent. The sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard!

Who?

Teacher?

Which teacher?

Being the same teacher as Su Changan?

Doesn’t that mean …

Roar!

A wave of voices instantly rose up from the drill grounds that were even more turbulent than when the previous scene had gone out of control. However, the wave of voices immediately disappeared withourace, and soon after, countless complicated, astonished, strange, jealous, good-natured, and malicious gazes simultaneously shot towards the lucky one on the arena.

Amongst the people on the drill grounds, this time it was Yang Zixuan’s turn to be drenched in sweat, with cultivators moving out from all over the drill grounds, and people moving about further away from the drill grounds and in the pavilion that surrounded the drill grounds. A few Madame Yang cultivators were hurriedly leaving, but all the familiar backs of the people were in Chu Chuang’s eyes.
