Chapter 341 Sect Competition 4
Chapter 341 Sect Competition 4
Once on stage, Wen Sishu immediately stopped being nervous, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Senior Sister Yingyue did not go to the Jia Yi arena to watch her senior brother's match as she had said. Instead, she stayed below the stage and watched Wen Sishu's performance.
"Senior sister is such a stubborn but soft-hearted person!" Cheng Jiu teased, winking at Yingyue with a smile!
"You're laughing at me too! Why did the competition you hosted end so early today?" Yingyue glanced at her and asked curiously.
Is it so easy to be a judge during the Foundation Establishment stage? I'll go and take on that role once she breaks through to the Deity Transformation stage!
Being a referee earns sect points, but Cheng Jiu wasn't there for those points; she'd just made a windfall and didn't care about such a small amount.
"A Foundation Establishment stage competition is naturally going to be fast! The two sides in today's competition had a personal grudge, and things got quite ugly on the stage!" Cheng Jiu said.
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Yingyue knew there was more to the story and exclaimed, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Cheng Jiu briefly recounted what he had heard on the stage to Senior Sister Yingyue.
"So they're brothers?"
"That sounds right!" Cheng Jiu nodded.
Yingyue ate a bite of the fresh melon and was quite satisfied.
The competition on the arena was also approaching a fever pitch, and the quality of this batch of disciples was higher than that of the previous disciples!
The hottest topic is the personal disciple of Yao Lao, a ninth-grade alchemist!
Two of them! And they were both in the same round!
One of them was even the senior disciple!
This inevitably makes those disciples who love a good show eagerly anticipate the final results!
Is it the senior brother's strength that truly overwhelms the junior brother, or is it the junior brother who surpasses the senior brother?
The disciples always enjoy competing against each other!
Surprisingly, someone actually took advantage of this time to place bets below! The two people placing the bets were the fellow apprentices mentioned above!
Time passed second by second, and Wen Sishu and An Qi were neck and neck, making it impossible to tell who was winning or losing on the surface.
The bookmakers at the opening were absolutely laughing their heads off. After all, if the outcome was obvious at a glance, what was the point of opening the betting market?
That's exactly the kind of evenly matched competition we need!
That's how you earn more!
These alchemists are really rich!
He's a genius for opening the market at this time!
The disciples kept placing bets, and the amount of spirit stones wagered by both sides remained consistently high!
However, as the senior player, Anqi had more support and his betting ratio was far ahead.
Cheng Jiu and Yingyue also noticed the commotion.
"These guys are really going too far!" Yingyue said, both anxious and angry. "I'm going to find my master!"
Placing bets at this time is no small matter!
This is practically jeopardizing Anqi's authority as the senior disciple.
If Anqi loses, what will the disciples who have lost money think?
They certainly won't blame themselves; they'll definitely shift all the blame onto Senior Brother Anqi.
He felt that the dignified senior brother of Medicine Peak was actually no match for his junior brother!
Anqi's prestige in the eyes of these disciples will definitely be greatly diminished!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Regardless of the final outcome or who wins or loses, it's disgusting for both parties involved!
Even if Senior Brother Anqi wins in the end, they will only think that it should be this way!
But what if we lose? Who will be responsible for the consequences?
The two people competing on the field are Yingyue's senior brother and Yingyue's junior brother.
So it's no wonder Yingyue was so angry!
"Just you wait, you worthless bastards! I'm sending you to solitary confinement!"
Yingyue was eager to fight. If she didn't make these audacious and greedy guys pay the price, she wouldn't be Yingyue!
"The disciple who opened the shop doesn't seem to be an alchemist!" Cheng Jiu observed.
That makes sense, considering that everyone present is a high-level alchemist, they probably wouldn't care about such a small thing. Moreover, alchemists are always aloof, and such behavior would be beneath their dignity in their eyes.
They will participate; after all, the expense is just a bit of fun for them.
I won't feel bad about the loss!
But they wouldn't even consider it if it were offered for sale! It would lower their status—that's the logic of these alchemists.
"Then they deserve to die even more!" Yingyue said with a cold glint in her eyes.
As Yao Lao's disciple, Ying Yue could naturally come to Yao Lao's side without any hindrance.
The old apothecary listened calmly to Yingyue's complaint, his gaze fixed on the arena, never looking away.
Yingyue carefully observed her master's expression and inexplicably sensed a surge of anger beneath his calm demeanor!
Of course he'd be angry; it involves his two disciples!
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!
Yingyue always knew that her master wasn't the kind of person who appeared to be so good-tempered. It was just that as he got older and experienced more, and had taken on many disciples, he learned to restrain himself!
But at this moment, even the oldest tiger is still a tiger, and besides, he doesn't seem as old as he appears.
"If they're just here to watch, that's fine, but how can someone who isn't an alchemist get involved in an alchemist competition! It's a serious crime for a sect to set up a betting point!"
At this moment, as the old doctor finished speaking, the crime was determined.
These arrogant and greedy fools must pay the price for their actions!
An ancient and imposing token, exuding immense power, landed in Senior Sister Yingyue's hands.
Peak Master's Order!
Yingyue never expected that her master would give her the Peak Master's Token!
This is a token that can mobilize all the resources of Medicine Peak. All orders issued with this token are not to be questioned and must be executed!
"Since he is not a disciple of Medicine Peak, Medicine Peak naturally cannot deal with him. Take this order with you to the Enforcement Hall and have them send someone over to handle this!" Elder Yao instructed in a deep voice.
"Understood, Master!" Yingyue readily agreed.
"Senior Sister, what did Elder Yao say to do?" Cheng Jiu asked hurriedly when he saw Yingyue arrive.
Yingyue flipped her hand upwards: "Peak Master's order! Master said to request the Enforcement Hall to come and handle this!"
"Then I'll go with you! Little Cloud Beast, hurry, try to get this sorted out before the competition ends!"
"Okay!" Yingyue did not refuse. The best course of action now was to resolve the matter quickly and nip it in the bud before it escalated further!
Yingyue glanced at him; he was still collecting spirit stones, grinning from ear to ear, completely oblivious to the consequences of his actions.
This guy will learn his lesson soon!
The little cloud beast was very fast and arrived at the Enforcement Hall with ease.
The once solemn and rigorous law enforcement hall now seemed to be in a state of chaos.
"careful!"
With a reminder, Cheng Jiu slightly reached out, and the two golden blades obediently landed in Cheng Jiu's palm.
"What's going on with the Enforcement Hall?" Cheng Jiu asked loudly. Jin Ren's strength was not high, at most at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Don't tell her that a Foundation Establishment cultivator actually caused such a ruckus in the Enforcement Hall.
That would be a truly hellish joke!
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall have never been below the Nascent Soul stage!
"Help! Help! This guy is insane! He actually tried to kill his father!"
A middle-aged man in the Foundation Establishment stage with disheveled hair and rumpled clothes rushed out from the side passage. His eyes lit up when he saw Cheng Jiu and Ying Yue, two new faces, and he tried to hide behind them.
Unaware of the situation, the two were not allowed to make such a move. Yingyue's white robe trembled slightly, causing the man who was trying to hide behind them to be knocked aside, directly thwarting his wishful thinking!
"Halt! You old thief, I told you to stop! Today I will kill you!" A disheveled young man, wielding a long sword and with bloodshot eyes, charged out from behind the man! He seemed to have gone mad!
The middle-aged man, who had been thrown back, didn't dare to delay and ran forward as fast as he could to escape.
"Junior Sister Xiao Jiu, do you know him?" Yingyue noticed that Cheng Jiu's gaze towards the young man was somewhat strange and asked curiously.
"He is Huang Guan!"
"That maid, Young Master Zhengjing!" Yingyue felt it was impolite to say that word, so she quickly changed her words: "Then who is he chasing?"
"His father!" the senior brother who had been reminding the two of them said.
"what?"
Just like when Cheng Jiu and Ying Yue were surprised, no, although the two children of that Foundation Establishment stage man had entered the Guiyuan Sect, it did not mean that the man was a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect.
The main problem is that at my current age and with my current cultivation level, it seems impossible for me to meet the admission requirements of the Guiyuan Sect.
Alright, how come someone who isn't from the Guiyuan Sect is in the Enforcement Hall?
Seemingly sensing their confusion, he said, "His father came to announce the death; Huang Guan's mother has passed away!"
"A bad news!" Cheng Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "No, he's not dead!"
"..." The senior brother from the Enforcement Hall was speechless. What kind of talk was that!
Cheng Jiu realized there was ambiguity in his words and quickly explained, "I know a little about their family situation. Huang Guan is not very old, and his father is not close to death. His mother must be younger than his father. How could she have died before his father?"
Senior Brother: "..."
That's not a very nice thing to say!
“I heard them say that when Huang Guan’s grandmother went to visit relatives in Yanshan, only his father and mother were left in their family. So his father brought his mistress home.”
"So, you can't get over this?" Cheng Jiu was puzzled. Huang Guan and Huang Cheng were only a few years apart in age, yet they knew about this complicated love triangle.
"Not at all! That man! He's obsessed with making his mistress his official wife, and he's even teamed up with her to harass his wife."
He even told his wife that if it weren't for her, he would have already included her son in the family genealogy! A future head of the family who is included in the genealogy absolutely cannot have a mother who came from a humble background as a maid!
"So it's not because of this that Huang Guanniang...?" Isn't this obviously a lie to fools? His mistress's status is even lower than hers, and yet, that guy still wants to get his son listed in the family genealogy!
"That's it! Fortunately, Huang Guan is a good son; he arranged for someone to rescue him early on!"
"So what's the situation now?" Cheng Jiu asked, looking at the two who were still chasing after him.
The senior brother from the Enforcement Hall said with some helplessness and disgust: "This guy killed his wife and even showed it to the victim. Junior Brother Huang Guan obviously knew about this beforehand! He originally wanted to take his mother away from the Huang family's sea of suffering."
The culprit, however, reappeared before him, feigning concern that his mother had had an accident and wishing him happiness and a good relationship with his brother's future stepmother!
Anyone who knows even a tiny bit about this family affair would be disgusted by this guy.
Not to mention the person involved, Huang Guan was completely blinded by his father's shameless remarks.
Therefore, when Huang Guan killed his father with a sword, his fellow disciples chose to turn a blind eye!
How could there be such a shameless person? He even spoke of murdering his wife in a grand and proud manner, looking as if he had gotten what he wanted!
Such a disgusting face! All the disciples in the Enforcement Hall couldn't stand it!
They were disciples of the Enforcement Hall, and could not beat up this beast for no reason to vent their anger, but they could only stand by and watch!
As for violating the sect rules, sorry, Huang Guan has already violated the sect rules, but it hasn't reached the point of being expelled from the sect yet.
At most, he'll be punished for multiple crimes and imprisoned for a longer period.
However, he thought that for his junior brother Huang Guan, this punishment was not as important as venting his anger so quickly!
"Where is Huang Cheng?" Cheng Jiu didn't see the other party involved. Where did he go? He just watched his father, who doted on him, being chased and attacked.
"Don't know?" The senior brother from the Enforcement Hall shook his head. "Anyway, I didn't see him in the blink of an eye! Right! He also violated the sect rules! He should be punished! Did he escape?"
“I know!” a female member of the Enforcement Hall next to her said, “You were so focused on their chase that you didn’t notice!”
"Where is that guy? Or did he go to be punished first?" the senior brother from the Enforcement Hall asked curiously.
"No, he was just scared!" The senior sister from the Enforcement Hall shook her head, scared in every sense of the word: "He resigned, saying he needed to go home to deal with his mother's affairs."
He asked for two days off, saying he'd be punished when he returned. But from what I heard, it seemed he was planning to bring his mother to Qingli City to completely sever ties with his father!
He even murdered his wife, with whom he shared a bed, and she had done nothing wrong.
Although he was the so-called beneficiary, Huang Cheng was also worried that his mother would grow old and lose her beauty and be no longer favored, and that her fate would be the same as Huang Guan's mother's!
No, he's going to take his mother and run far away! As for his father, let whoever wants to acknowledge him do so. At worst, he'll admit he's the bastard and that his father is a traitor!
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall were not worried that he wouldn't come back, since not returning would be considered treason, which was much more serious than being expelled from the sect.
No one wants to offend a behemoth like the Guiyuan Sect on the Xuantian Continent!
Huang Guan had no idea what his mortal enemy was thinking; if he did, he would definitely be disgusted and vomit!
He never cared about his father. In fact, every day, every moment, he hoped that his father would die in an accident so that he could inherit the Huang family without any obstacles!
Unfortunately, this womanizing fellow still seems to be in good health and is unlikely to take risks by becoming a monk, which greatly reduces the possibility of him having an accident and dying prematurely.
This time, it was a rare occurrence for him to leave home and travel thousands of miles to come to Guiyuan Sect, all for the sake of bringing this message to annoy him!
Feeling so disgusted he wanted to vomit, Huang Guan made a decision: when he got home, he would make his mother and father divorce!
No matter how much his grandmother tried to stop him, he was determined to take his mother far away!
If all else fails, he'll admit he's a bastard born to his mother and cousin. Although it might be a disservice to his mother's reputation, he doesn't mind as long as it cuts ties!
What family? What father! Give it all to Huang Cheng! It'll save him from bothering him with these trivial matters!
Although Huang Guan was aggressive, he did not kill his father after all; he just beat him up with his sword!
Huang's father, who had never suffered before, is now experiencing the greatest hardship he has ever suffered for his beastly behavior.
small theater:
Huang Cheng: This is your dad!
Huang Guan: No, no, no, your father!
(Huang's father arrives)
Huang Cheng, Huang Guan Σ(????)?: Don't come any closer!
Hehehe, I suddenly felt like writing!
