Chapter 306 - Get Lost

When Hou Li got back to his feet, his face was covered in bruises, and his nose was swollen. Murderous intent swept out from him as he charged at Liu Wuxie.

This left Mei Zizheng stumped, unable to comprehend what had just happened. He couldn’t believe someone in the fifth level of the True Core Realm was sent flying with a slap.

Weng Li felt his mind buzzing. It was too late for him to stop because Liu Wuxie’s speed was too fast.

Hou Li would have humiliated Liu Wuxie even if he hadn’t retaliated. Liu Wuxie had already seen through everything, so he acted first.

Mei Zizheng’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and he took a big step back.

“How dare you?!” The other man who came with Hou Li was Sha Qizhi, who was also in the fifth level of the True Core Realm.

Everyone believed that Liu Wuxie managed to send Hou Li flying, relying on a sneak attack. They were confident in crushing Liu Wuxie in one strike if they clashed head-on.

“I advise you to think twice before acting!” Liu Wuxie gazed at Sha Qizhi like a vicious viper. He stopped in his tracks, his right hand stopping in mid-air. He was placed in a dilemma, not knowing whether to strike.

“I’ll kill you!” Hou Li cleaved his weapon down at Liu Wuxie.

A fifth-level True Core Realm expert was no different from someone in the Xiantian Realm in the mundane world. In the cultivation world, one would only possess some authority of speech after reaching the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

In the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, disciples were divided into four categories. Those in the True Core Realm were outer disciples, and one could only become an inner disciple after reaching the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

Above that were the core disciples, who were required to reach the Heavenly Phase Realm. The number of core disciples in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was only half that of the inner disciples.

As for true disciples, each of them would be treated as treasures to nurture in every sect, requiring disciples to reach the Astral River Realm. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion didn’t have many true disciples.

Next would be those in the Nascent Transformation Realm, most of whom held the position of an elder in a sect.

Only one in a thousand could reach the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and those who could reach the Heavenly Phase Realm were one in ten thousand.

As mentioned, few disciples reached the Astral River Realm in the sect. Thus, one could imagine how tough cultivating was as one’s cultivation increased.

Hou Li and Sha Qizhi were garbage in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, so Liu Wuxie dared to retaliate fearlessly.

Facing Hou Li’s attack, Liu Wuxie remained indifferent and stood quietly in place, allowing Hou Li to approach him. As the distance between them closed rapidly, Hou Li came within a meter of Liu Wuxie.

Right then, Liu Wuxie kicked with his right leg.

Hou Li flew out again, this time even further. After flying out thirty-odd meters, he smashed into the field and threw up blood. As he fell facing the ground, his entire face scraped the ground with a few teeth hanging from the corners of his mouth, making him look miserable.

If the first time was a coincidence and everyone felt that Liu Wuxie had only achieved it by launching a sneak attack, the second time was different. Liu Wuxie attacked Hou Li, easily sending the latter flying away. This made Mei Zizheng’s group of three feel a chill running down their spines.

After all, Liu Wuxie was only in the third level of the True Core Realm, possessing a bizarre movement technique with incredible speed.

Sha Qizhi stopped in his tracks, not daring to take another step forward when he saw this scene.

Mei Zihua and Zhai Gaofang opened their mouths wide open in shock.

“You bastard! I’ll kill you!” After Hou Li got back on his feet, he took out another weapon from his interspatial pouch and cleaved it down towards Liu Wuxie.

Not everyone qualified to use an interspatial ring, and most outer disciples used interspatial pouches instead. Although an interspatial ring was convenient and had a larger space capacity, only inner disciples were eligible to purchase one.

“You’re courting death!” Liu Wuxie became furious. He had already shown Hou Li mercy by sparing his dantian. If he had kicked Hou Li’s dantian, the latter would’ve been crippled by now.

Yet, Hou Li showed no remorse and wanted to come at him again. Since that was the case, he wouldn’t mind being ruthless and cripple him directly.

When Liu Wuxie drew the Heretic Blade, he unleashed a blade ray that flew toward Hou Li’s neck to kill him.

Hou Li’s face changed, and he quickly dodged to the side. It felt as though he was being preyed upon by a ferocious beast, and he would be devoured the next moment.

“Junior Brother Sha, attack together!” Hou Li roared, urging Sha Qizhi to join in. They would be thoroughly embarrassed if they couldn’t kill Liu Wuxie.

After all, how would they be able to show their faces among the outer disciples if they couldn’t even deal with someone from the mundane world?

Sha Qizhi retrieved his battle and joined the fray without any hesitation. This instantly placed Liu Wuxie in a passive position after facing the two fifth-level True Core Realm experts’ attacks from both sides.

Then again, with his current fighting prowess, Liu Wuxie could kill enemies in the sixth level of the True Core Realm. The Heretic Blade continued to cleave down, dividing into two afterimages: one went after Hou Li, and the other went after Sha Qizhi.

In the next second, two crimson rays splashed out on the field. The two were sent flying away with Liu Wuxie’s true essence corroding their bodies. It wasn’t a good feeling because the terrifying chill in Liu Wuxie’s true essence made them tremble.

“This is a lesson for you two. If you two still don’t get lost, don’t blame me for what will happen next!” Liu Wuxie believed that this should be enough to teach these two a lesson. They both had a long gnash on their arm with blood dripping down.

Everything happened too quickly. Mei Zizheng and Zhai Gaofang watched with dumbfounded expressions.

When Hou Li got back up from the ground, he wasn’t as arrogant as before, and a hint of horror flashed across his eyes. He knew that Liu Wuxie could’ve ended their lives with that strike earlier.

“Get lost!” Liu Wuxie sheathed the Heretic Blade and roared without a hint of emotion in his tone, scaring Hou Li into scrambling away.

Hou Li and Sha Qizhi left Mai Zizheng and Zhai Gaofang behind, both still in shock. They had believed that inviting two experts would be enough to kill Liu Wuxie, but instead, they ended up losing a hundred mid-grade spirit stones along with the spiritual treasure.

“Why are you two still here?” Liu Wuxie gazed at Mei Zizheng and Zhai Gaofang.

“Just you wait! This spiritual treasure was entrusted to me by Senior Brother Zhang Yuanxun. Since you dare to take something belonging to him, just wait for him to come after you! I advise you to hand it over now obediently!” Mei Zizheng gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could do nothing.

If he continued to stay there, he would only be further humiliated by Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie was tired of empty threats. He knew that Mei Zizheng would slander him even if he returned the spiritual treasure and use Zhang Yuanxun to kill him.

Filled with boundless resentment and humiliation, Mei Zizheng left with Zhai Gaofang. They were merely low-ranking disciples in the sect; no one would pay attention to them. Not to mention, they did’t have many resources to hire experts to help them. Thus, they could only wait for Zhang Yuanxun to return before seeking vengeance against Liu Wuxie.

Everything became peaceful once more, and Mei Zizheng didn’t return anymore this time. The sky in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was brightly lit as daylight, illuminated by countless stars. But the field looked somewhat lonely in contrast.

The night resembled the water as Liu Wuxie lost himself in thought, looking at the sky.

“Brother Liu, what happened today might bring trouble in the future.” Hou Li came over with concern on his face.

“I never expected it to be peaceful after entering the cultivation world.” Liu Wuxie had learned many things from Mu Yueying and was already mentally prepared.

The night passed quickly, and everyone was excited the following day. This was because they would finally become disciples of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion that day.

When Fan Lin returned at midday, he apologized, “I’m sorry for the wait. The deacon responsible for enrollment had some unexpected matters to attend to yesterday. I have already reported all your names, and you will all enter the Enrollment Hall with the other new disciples to receive your identity medals. Someone will also arrange your accommodations after that.”

He was expected to come last night, but other matters kept him busy. Unaware of Liu Wuxie\'s conflict with Mei Zizheng, he didn\'t inquire, and Liu Wuxie had no intention of telling him either.

Fan Lin\'s task was complete, and the enrollment deacon would take over next. Roughly two hours later, a few hundred people arrived, each radiating a powerful aura.

“Everyone, calm down. After today, you will all be disciples of my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and you are expected to abide by the rules. The enrollment deacon will soon arrive to pick everyone up, so behave yourself!”

The field suddenly became bustling with so many people. However, some held hostile gazes when they looked in Liu Wuxie’s direction.

“I wonder how many people will enter the Heavenly Trigram Peak this year.” The crowd began to discuss, and these people were more familiar with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion than Liu Wuxie’s group.

Fan Lin explained the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s information along the way. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was divided into six regions: the Heavenly Trigram Peak, Earth Force Peak, Profound Inscription Peak, Terrain Summit Peak, Mortal Plume Peak, and Treasure Pill Peak.

The Heavenly Trigram Peak was the strongest, followed by the Treasure Pill Peak. The following rankings were the Earth Force Peak, Profound Inscription Peak, Terrain Summit Peak, and Mortal Plume Peak.

The deacons from the six peaks would come to pick disciples to join them. Those who could enter the Heavenly Trigram Peak were absolute elites, and the Treasure Pill Peak wasn’t bad either, but their disciples were required to possess alchemy talents.

“I heard the resources in the Heavenly Trigram Peak are several times higher than those in the other peaks, but they also have a harsh requirement.” The discussion was loud, but Yang Songyue and others had to get close to obtain some helpful information.

“I hope my luck will be good this year to be selected by the Heavenly Trigram Peak.” A sigh could be heard because it was everyone’s dream to enter the Heavenly Trigram Peak.

“I would be satisfied with the Earth Force Peak. The resources might not be comparable to the Heavenly Trigram Peak, but it’s comfortable compared to the other peaks.” Various discussions were held in the field, but Liu Wuxie remained indifferent and showed no interest.
