Everyone saw a gray-robed figure appear on the mountain peak without a sound. It was Mo Qingtian, who had just been speaking with Li ng’er in the back mountains.
At this mont, all the disciples of War God Hall knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Old Ancestor."
Mo Qingtian paid no attention to their greetings; all his thoughts were concentrated on the scene before him.
In Mo Qingtian’s eyes, the Heavenly Stairway had beco a pile of ruins. A boundless rage, as if substantial, instantly transford into a boundless storm and swept across the entire area.
The few people standing near Mo Qingtian bore the imnse pressure, while the others were directly prostrate on the ground.
"Who knows what exactly happened here? Mo Heng, who was guarding the Heavenly Stairway today?"
Just as Mo Heng, the Sect Master of War God Hall beside Mo Qingtian, was about to speak, a middle-aged man prostrating on the ground respectfully said,
"Old Ancestor, I was on duty at the Heavenly Stairway today."
"Oh, if I rember correctly, your na is Liu Shan, right?" Mo Qingtian said.
"Yes, this disciple is Liu Shan. Thank you, Old Ancestor, for rembering this disciple." Liu Shan said.
"Oh, rembering you," Mo Qingtian said aningfully.
"Then tell , what happened here?" Mo Qingtian pointed to the ashes of the thousand-ter Heavenly Stairway and asked.
"This disciple... this disciple does not know. These disciples, who were preparing to join our War God Hall, were undergoing the test. For so unknown reason, the Heavenly Stairway suddenly began to shake. Within ten breaths, it turned into ruins," Liu Shan said.
Mo Qingtian nodded and said, "Are you finished?"
Liu Shan nodded.
"Since you’re finished, then you can be on your way."
As Mo Qingtian finished speaking, Liu Shan froze. Before he could react, a terrifying force erupted directly from Mo Qingtian’s body.
"No."
Liu Shan scread miserably, instantly turning into a pool of blood and vanishing from the spot.
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt their hearts pound uncontrollably.
"Which other disciples were responsible here today? Step forward." Mo Qingtian finished speaking. Dozens of War God Hall disciples, kneeling on the ground, tremblingly crawled forward.
Just as Mo Qingtian was about to act, Mo Heng said, "Old Ancestor, please spare them. Let us first investigate the specific reason for the Heavenly Stairway’s destruction. If it truly has sothing to do with them, then this disciple is willing to handle it."
Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Heng.
"Mo Heng, do you know what this Heavenly Stairway ans to our War God Hall? It has existed for ten thousand years. It’s not just for testing the talent of new disciples; it’s also a symbol of our War God Hall.
Now that this Heavenly Stairway has been destroyed, how do you think our War God Hall will stand among the other three major sects?"
"Old Ancestor, Mo Heng is well aware of the Heavenly Stairway’s importance to our sect, but I believe that clarifying the cause is the top priority now. If it was destroyed by non-human ans, then we don’t need to pursue it. If."
Mo Heng’s words were cut off by Mo Qingtian before he could finish.
"Alright, Mo Heng, I’ll leave this matter to you. First, have people repair the Heavenly Stairway. We’ll discuss it after the recruitnt ceremony the day after tomorrow." Mo Qingtian’s figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
Mo Heng also let out a deep breath; the pressure from his Old Ancestor was simply too great. He was only at the fifth layer of tribulation, while his Old Ancestor had already stepped halfway into the immortal realm.
He then looked at the Heavenly Stairway and announced to the War God Hall disciples that they had two days to repair it. As for the new disciples participating in the recruitnt, this round was temporarily waived; they would just wait until the day after tomorrow for the assessnt.
The culprit, Wang Yufan, was also a bit depressed at this point. He just walked on it for a bit, and it couldn’t withstand it? That was too flimsy and trashy.
It seed he needed to suppress his strength a bit, otherwise, if he caused another commotion in two days, it wouldn’t be good.
Wang Yufan turned his head and saw Xu Changqing staring at him.
"Changqing, why are you staring at your master?"
"Master, why do I feel like this Heavenly Stairway didn’t break on its own? When Sun Xiangtian and I went up just now, nothing happened, but when."
Just as Xu Changqing was about to continue, Wang Yufan gave him a look, scaring Xu Changqing into imdiately shutting his mouth.
Xu Changqing already knew that the destruction of the Heavenly Stairway was most likely caused by his master.
At this instant, Xu Changqing felt that his master was too incredible, and he already regarded Wang Yufan as a god in his heart.
...
Ti flew by.
On the third day, the War God Hall’s recruitnt officially began. Due to the damage to the Heavenly Stairway, the first round of screening still used the Talent Testing Stone.
This ti, Wang Yufan did not participate but let Xu Changqing go instead, suppressing Xu Changqing’s purple talent a bit, otherwise, standing out like a crane among chickens would easily attract unwanted attention.
The War God Hall had a total of 100 disciple slots for this recruitnt, and there were over a thousand applicants.
This recruitnt process consisted of three steps: first, talent testing; second, bone age testing; and third, combat. The top ten could go to the War God statue for comprehension.
Wang Yufan thought to himself that if he were to undergo bone age testing, he would probably scare these people to death. He felt there was no problem for Xu Changqing to get into the top ten, but as for Sun Xiangtian, Wang Yufan felt he might not make it.
One day later, all tests were completed. Xu Changqing successfully qualified in third place, while Sun Xiangtian was only fifteenth, not even qualifying to comprehend the statue.
The next day, Elder Hu Qiu of War God Hall, who was responsible for recruiting disciples, led everyone to the plaza with the War God statue. Only the top ten were allowed to approach, while the others had to stand at a distance and observe.
Before Wang Yufan stood a thirty-zhang tall statue of a middle-aged man holding a treasured sword, his eyes fixed forward, full of steadfastness. Wang Yufan also felt a faint trace of immortal aura from this War God statue.
"Looking at this, the War God of War God Hall still left a wisp of divine sense here. He’s really careful. He’s just afraid soone will steal his God of War Divine To," Wang Yufan muttered to himself.
While waiting for them to comprehend, Wang Yufan’s divine sense entered the statue to retrieve the God of War Divine To. Otherwise, if he did it now, causing a commotion would be awkward.
However, what Wang Yufan didn’t expect was that what he wanted wouldn’t co.
When the top ten new disciples all sat cross-legged on the prayer mats around the statue, each of them extended a hand and placed it on the statue.
Wang Yufan saw his chance, so his divine sense directly entered the War God statue.
Upon entering the statue, Wang Yufan muttered, "It seems I should also have soone make a statue like this in the future. It’s quite good."
Just then, in the statue’s space, white light still flickered. Wang Yufan walked over and saw an antique bronze iron piece floating in the air.
Just as Wang Yufan reached out to take it.
A mighty voice resounded in the space.
"Are you a newly recruited disciple of War God Hall? I never thought that after ten thousand years, soone would finally co here. I’ve waited truly too long."
As the words fell, a middle-aged man in battle armor holding a sword appeared, and his gaze imdiately fixed on Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan smiled and said, "You are the War God of this War God Hall?"
Hearing Xu Changqing ask this, the middle-aged man’s divine sense suddenly thought of sothing, and his expression abruptly darkened.
"Who are you? Why did you trespass into my legacy space?"
"? I’m a lonely person. I’m indeed not a disciple of your War God Hall, but what I’m here to take today is this piece of iron," Wang Yufan said as if it were a matter of course.
