At the same time, the other six elders of the Azure Yang Sect who were observing from the shadows had also noticed the abnormality of Qing Yangzi.
They immediately realized what their senior brother was doing.
The person to face the calamity could resolve the crisis of sect extermination.
The way to resolve it… in the most likely case, was through actual combat strength.
This meant that the person to face the calamity might very well become very strong in the future, much stronger than his senior brother!
Therefore, his senior brother had started to leave a good impression on him.
No!
They had to do the same!
At least, they had to make sure he remembered them!
With this thought, the six elders prepared to fly over.
However, before they could fly two meters, they were blocked by an invisible wall!
The expressions of the six elders became extremely unsightly as they looked at the figure in the distance that was covered in divine light!
This dog of a Senior Brother actually activated the sect’s defense array and trapped them here!
Was there any justice in this world?
…
Chen Mu vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was not right. Therefore, he lowered his head and asked respectfully, “Senior, you are…”
Qing Yangzi smiled out calmly as though he was talking about an extremely ordinary identity.
“I am the leader of the Azure Yang Sect, Qing Yangzi.”
The Azure Yang Sect Leader!
Chen Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
Encountering the Sect Leader right after entering the sect was definitely not a coincidence!
It seemed that his previous efforts were not in vain!
Success!
Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, he still had a shocked expression on his face.
When Qing Yangzi saw this, he added, “I was just preparing to leave the sect for something when I coincidentally caught sight of you.”
Behind him, Zhang Yan also said, “Me too!”
Chen Mu’s mind raced. He immediately understood the intention behind their words.
They did not want their new disciple to notice anything amiss.
As for the calamity, they would not mention it.
That was why they had specially come out to observe and said that they had met by chance.
Got it!
Then I will cooperate with you!
In terms of cultivation level, he definitely could not compare to them, but in terms of acting skills, he might not lose!
At that thought, Chen Mu subconsciously wanted to kneel down.
“I didn’t expect to meet the Sect Leader right after entering the sect. Disciple is truly blessed. Sect Leader, please accept this disciple’s greeting!”
However, before he could even kneel down completely, Qing Yangzi raised his hand slightly.
An invisible force landed on Chen Mu and helped him up.
“There’s no need to adhere to this secular etiquette. By the way, what’s your name?”
Throughout the entire process, Qing Yangzi had the disposition of an immortal. Even though he was right in front, his voice was floating around as though it was coming from the horizon.
“This disciple’s name is Chen Mu!”
“I come from the Flying Bull Prefecture’s Auspicious Cloud City’s Little Bamboo County’s Stone Village! ”
“Why did you only arrive today?”
Chen Mu looked ashamed.
“I met bandits on my way from Stone Village to Flying Bull City. I was trapped in the camp and finally got out recently.”
“After I escaped, I traveled day and night to rush to the Azure Yang Sect. I never thought that… I would still be a day late!”
Qing Yangzi nodded his head gently when he heard that.
The fatigue on the young man’s face could not be faked.
He knew that this young man had not slept for at least two days.
Hehe, if it was not an accident, why would the person to face the calamity be late?
This was destined to happen.
“I just cleansed the fatigue on your body. As for your mental state… you need to rest well.”
“Junior Brother Zhang, bring him to Outer Sect’s residential area.”
Chen Mu’s heart stirred when he heard that.
To be honest, after lying in ambush for two days and two nights, he was indeed mentally drained.
But the residential area?
Eh?
Hence, he hurriedly asked, “Sect Leader, have I become a disciple of the Azure Yang Sect?”
Qing Yangzi smiled and nodded his head, “Of course. My Azure Yang Sect is not an unreasonable sect.”
“However, the Azure Yang Sect has a tradition.”
“Before officially entering the sect, there will be an entrance competition.”
“Of course, this competition will not decide anything. It is meant to let the new disciples understand the disparity between them.”
“Only then will you have more motivation to cultivate.”
“After the competition ends, I will officially arrange accommodations for you guys and distribute resources.”
An Entrance Competition?
Chen Mu’s eyes lit up instantly.
The heavens took pity on him. His Little Assistant could finally be put to use!
The new disciples all had cultivation aptitude. When they fought, it should be different from the villagers fighting, right?
Looking at the excitement in Chen Mu’s eyes, Qing Yangzi praised in his heart.
Normally, new disciples would be very nervous when they heard that there was an Entrance Competition.
They would be afraid that they would not be able to raise their head in front of fellow disciples after losing.
They would even be more afraid of leaving the impression that they were mediocre.
This young man, on the other hand, was not nervous at all. Instead, he was excited.
Just his temperament was not something that ordinary disciples could compare to.
As expected of the person destined to face the calamity!
However, he had just checked that this youth was only a mortal. And among the new disciples this year, some already had cultivation levels.
If this young man encountered them, he would probably be defeated.
He had to remind him to be mentally prepared so that he would not suffer a blow when he lost.
As he thought of this, he looked into the distance and said intentionally or unintentionally, “This year, my Azure Yang Sect has recruited a total of 120 new disciples, including the descendants of some sect elders.”
“Although these people have yet to officially become disciples of my Azure Yang Sect, they already have cultivation levels.”
“Hehe, I wonder who will be the strongest amongst them.”
As Qing Yangzi said that, he immediately noticed the changes in Chen Mu’s expression.
Chen Mu was slightly stunned.
Descendants of the sect elders?
They already had cultivation?
Wouldn’t that mean…
Little Assistant was even more useful now!
Thinking of this, he became even more excited!
Sensing the change in Chen Mu’s expression, Qing Yangzi was stunned!
Despite knowing that he was facing powerful enemies, not only was he not afraid, he was even more excited…
This young man…
He was indeed extraordinary!
Qing Yangzi could not help but sigh out in his heart.
There were countless difficulties and dangers on the path of cultivation. The slightest carelessness would result in death.
Sometimes, character was more important than talent.
There were many cultivators who had good talent but died midway due to their poor temperament.
This young man was able to do so at such a young age without fear of danger, challenge, or failure…
It was too rare!
Swoosh…
Qing Yangzi let out a breath of turbid air slowly to suppress the excitement in his heart.
At this moment, he was extremely curious about how far this young man would grow in the future.
‘Qing Yangzi, you can’t continue on like this. Otherwise, you will slip up.’ Qing Yangzi warned himself secretly before smiling gently. He then pouted his lips and glared at Zhang Yan before leaving the sect.
The corners of Zhang Yan’s eyes twitched. He lowered his head and said to Chen Mu, “I’ll take you to Outer Sect’s residential area.”
“Alright, thank you senior.”
…
After Zhang Yan and Chen Mu left, Qing Yangzi who ‘left the sect’ immediately flew back.
However, compared to his kind expression earlier, his expression was now extremely solemn!
The auspicious clouds had naturally vanished without a trace.
On the other side, the six elders had already escaped and were aggressively surrounding him.
It seemed like they wanted an explanation.
When he caught sight of this, Qing Yangzi’s Daoist robes started fluttering!
“What are you trying to do!”
“Is this the time to mess around?”
“All of you, go to the meeting hall! I’ll tell you all about matters related to the survival of the sect!”
Qing Yangzi did not wait for the elders to speak out before taking the initiative.
Then, he flew towards the conference hall on the main peak.
When the six elders heard the words that concerned the survival of their sect, their auras weakened immediately. In the end, they could only follow behind Qing Yangzi silently as they flew towards the meeting hall.
