Chapter 1088: Chapter 968: The Gathering Storm
As the news of Ye Fan being taken in as the sole disciple by the Great Elder spread like wildfire throughout the Xuanwu Sect, thanks to Tong Qianchen, the daughter of the Sect Leader, it caused an uproar akin to a tsunami!
For a ti, everyone was talking about this matter.
“I really didn’t expect that person to actually gain the Great Elder’s favor. It’s really a case of comparing people to death, comparing goods to be thrown away!”
“The Great Elder’s unprecedented tradition of not taking disciples has been broken. What capability does this Ye Fan have to make the Great Elder break this precedent?”
“From now on, everyone should be courteous when they et Ye Fan, and absolutely avoid offending him. Who doesn’t know about the Great Elder’s temper?”
“That’s right, the Great Elder has already stated that anyone who dares to bully Ye Fan is his enemy. Who would risk touching this mold!”
“It’s a pity! We don’t have such a protective and powerful master to shield us; we can only choose to endure silently.”
During this ti, there was also a small episode: Great Elder Wu Xinhai found the Sect Leader and emphatically demanded that Ye Fan must directly enter the Inner Sect without starting as an Outer Disciple and gradually advancing.
The Sect Leader couldn’t resist him and had to agree. Although the other elders had their complaints, thinking about the uncompromising nature of the Great Elder, they chose to remain silent.
Thus, Ye Fan didn’t even spend a day in the Outer Sect and was directly specially admitted into the Inner Sect.
Naturally, Ye Fan’s Dong Mansion was also changed to one with a stronger concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and he began his closed-door cultivation.
anwhile, Tong Qianchen, the Sect Leader’s daughter, frequently sought Ye Fan recently, but it wasn’t easy to see him — once Ye Fan began his closed-door training, he wouldn’t co out unless for sothing special.
Whether in the Inner or Outer Sect, the disciples of the Xuanwu Sect were especially envious and jealous of Ye Fan’s special admission into the Inner Sect, but none dared to question the reasons from the leadership of the Xuanwu Sect and could only continue to envy, be jealous, hate, and remain frustrated.
This news first reached Chu Feng’s ears.
“Hmph! The more you jump, the harder your fall. I’m looking forward to seeing your amazing expression during the Inner Sect Disciple Grand Competition!”
Hearing the news, Chu Feng was quite displeased at first, but on second thought, since Ye Fan would end up a cripple in the Inner Sect Disciple Contest anyway, he couldn’t help but sneer.
…
The news of Ye Fan being taken as a disciple by the Great Elder and specially admitted into the Inner Sect spread not only swiftly within the Xuanwu Sect but also reached the Tianyuan Sect, thousands of miles away.
“Wu Xinhai actually broke his precedent to take him as a disciple?”
Upon learning that Ye Fan had been accepted as a disciple by the Great Elder Wu Xinhai of the Xuanwu Sect, Helian Chang, the Sect Leader of Tianyuan Sect, was first very surprised, then deeply puzzled.
Because, according to the information he received, there were no abnormal movents in the Xuanwu Sect, and they hadn’t mobilized any strong people from the Sect to head to the Xuanshou Mountain Range.
“What’s going on here?”
“Could it be that the little brat hasn’t inford the high-ranking officials of the Xuanwu Sect about the spatial passage?”
“Hmm! That’s definitely it!”
Helian Chang concluded that Ye Fan would definitely not inform the Xuanwu Sect about the spatial passage.
No matter the situation, Helian Chang felt it was necessary to capture Ye Fan as soon as possible; he must find an opportunity to either capture him alive or kill him if that wasn’t possible — he couldn’t leave such a hidden threat.
Even without Ye Fan, as long as he searched diligently, he would definitely find the spatial passage. It was only a matter of ti, but the information about the spatial passage was only known to the Tianyuan Sect, so they had ample ti to search slowly.
“Co, notify Gu Yun to see !”
After pondering for a mont, Helian Chang decided to have Gu Yun search for the passage, as Gu Yun was the only one who had been to Earth and was most familiar with the passage.
“You imdiately take people to the Xuanshou Mountain Range to search for the spatial passage. Return when you find it. Don’t co back if you can’t find it!”
Helian Chang was determined. He had to find the spatial passage as soon as possible because Ye Fan was like a ticking bomb, and he didn’t know when the matter of the spatial passage would be exposed.
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
Gu Yun agreed reluctantly, as he had no choice. He had proposed this matter, and only he was most familiar with the spatial passage. If not him, then who?
“Call Elder Tu. I have sothing to discuss with him.”
After sending Gu Yun off, Helian Chang pondered for a mont and decided to dispatch Tu Jiufeng, the most powerful elder in the Sect, to ambush outside the Xuanwu Sect. As soon as Ye Fan stepped out of the Xuanwu Sect’s sphere of influence, he would capture him.
Tu Jiufeng was one of the strongest elders in the Tianyuan Sect, ruthless, extrely skilled at concealing himself, and exceptionally patient, making him the most suitable for this task.
…
Ye Fan had no idea that he had beco a fish on the chopping board, with more than one person eyeing him.
During this period, he has been in closed-door training.
While Ye Fan was in closed-door training, Tong Qianchen noticeably didn’t spend as much ti practicing and sparring with Chu Feng and instead frequently visited the cave where Ye Fan was secluded.
However, Ye Fan was busy with cultivation and could not frequently co out of seclusion. The two had hardly t, and Tong Qianchen faced countless shut doors. By rights, she should be discouraged.
But Tong Qianchen showed a spirit of perseverance against setbacks. Although she never got to et Ye Fan each ti she ca, she remained persistent and kept visiting every few days.
Chu Feng felt this most keenly. Originally, Tong Qianchen was indifferent to him, but at least they could often et, cultivate together, spar in martial arts, and exchange cultivation insights.
However, since Ye Fan’s arrival, Tong Qianchen was noticeably colder towards him. Even when he sought her out, she seed distant and sotis displayed impatience.
All this was because of Ye Fan’s entry into the Xuanwu Sect, causing Chu Feng’s anger to flare like ghost fire, wishing he could rush to Ye Fan’s cultivation cave and tear him apart.
But it was just a thought!
Not to ntion that Ye Fan is now a disciple of Great Elder Wu Xinhai, and the Xuanwu Sect’s rules strictly forbid disciples from fighting and killing each other!
Ti in cultivation always flies by, and three months passed in a blink.
During these three months, Ye Fan was almost entirely imrsed in cultivation, and with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown’s virtual space, his strength improved rapidly.
In three days, the Inner Sect Disciples Competition will take place, where all inner sect disciples will compete for the only three elite disciple spots.
That afternoon, Chu Feng called for the chubby Hao Jian to assess his understanding and cultivation of the martial arts technique he had passed on.
They agreed to et in a secluded valley in the back mountains, a place rarely visited even by the elders of the sect.
The valley, though hidden, had no Xuan Beasts or Spiritual dicine, considered a wilderness, and no one would go there without reason.
When Chu Feng arrived at the valley, Hao Jian had not yet appeared, so he took a walk around to ensure no one was within the valley’s bounds.
Soon, Hao Jian’s rotund figure approached from afar.
Despite Hao Jian’s spherical build, he was very agile, hopping down the hill like a atball.
Watching Hao Jian’s nimble figure, Chu Feng smiled silently. The martial arts technique he had taught Hao Jian was a top-grade Xuan-stage technique and rather sinister.
“Brother Feng, you called for ?”
Hao Jian approached with a flattering smile, his small eyes narrowed to slits.
“Hmm, in three days, it’s the Inner Sect Disciples Competition. How’s your preparation? How’s your understanding of the technique? Confident?”
Chu Feng’s question about confidence did not refer to winning the elite disciple slots but about crippling Ye Fan’s cultivation.
Hao Jian understood, nodding, “Don’t worry, Brother Feng, I assure you, I will cripple that kid in three days.”
“Hmm, that’s good!”
Chu Feng nodded and continued, “Show the technique I taught you, let see. With three days left, I can guide you to improve if needed.”
“Yes, Brother Feng!”
Hao Jian nodded excitedly, eager to display the sinister martial arts technique Chu Feng had taught him.
Chu Feng nodded as he watched.
Though Hao Jian looked unremarkable and was sowhat dense, his comprehension of martial arts was exceptional, with almost no deviations.
With this technique, Hao Jian’s combat power shot up!
After finishing the technique, Hao Jian stood steady without a hint of exhaustion, bowing to Chu Feng, “Brother Feng, how was it? I did well, right?”
“Hmm! Not bad. Three days later, use this technique to strike first, leaving him no chance to counter and cripple him in one go!”
Chu Feng planned with a fierce and sinister look. If he weren’t already a core disciple, unable to act personally, he would have long wanted to cripple Ye Fan himself.
In sect competitions, injuries or even fatalities could occur, and even Great Elder Wu Xinhai wouldn’t intervene.
“Brother Feng, during the Inner Sect Disciples Competition, you just sit back and enjoy the show. I will surely cripple that kid!”
Hao Jian’s confidence brimd, his greasy fat face blossoming with a smile. It wasn’t just about helping Chu Feng cripple Ye Fan.
Standing out in the Inner Sect Disciples Competition was a dream for many, not to ntion the increased cultivation resources and benefits upon becoming an elite disciple.
“Hehehe…”
Thinking of this, Hao Jian chuckled sleazily, as if he could already see himself crippling Ye Fan in the competition three days later!
