Chapter 839: Fang Zheng’s Inner Thoughts
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fang Zheng and another Immortal Crane Sect elder led over ten disciples into thepetition venue.
It was a hubbub of sound outside the stage. Over a thousand Gu Masters were sitting in the
surroundings, discussing in murmurs while waiting for the eighth round to start.
However, because there were too many people, even the softest whispers converged together to
be an extremely morous scene.
“Immortal Crane Sect’s elders and disciples.” Once they saw Fang Zheng’s group, the surrounding Gu
Masters could not help but stare at them, the sounds of their discussions became softer.
Compared torge and small forces, members of Central Continent’s ten great ancient sect members
gave the feeling of royalty walking amongmon people.
“That young man is actually wearing the attire of an Immortal Crane Sect elder, I am not hallucinating,
right?”
“Quiet down, can’t you sense his aura, he is a genuine rank five Gu Master!”
“Making a fuss over nothing, it’s not like there aren’t Gu worms to maintain a youthful appearance…”
“Look over there, they are Myriad Dragon Dock’s disciples and elders.”
At the next moment, everyone’s gazes were attracted towards another group of people.
The number of this group of Gu Masters was twice that of Immortal Crane Sect’s, with four elders
leading the way and many elite disciples among the disciples.
“Myriad Dragon Dock…” An elder of Immortal Crane Sect couldn’t help but focus his gaze.
Of the ten great ancient sects, Myriad Dragon Dock could be said to have been in the limelight recently.
And the reason was because of Vicious Lightning Fiend.
Vicious Lightning Fiend was only a rank six Gu Immortal, but his battle strength was extremely
outstanding.
During his two years of closed cultivation, he created the immortal killer move lightning deity. After
coming out of seclusion, he roamed around Central Continent, challenging countless Gu Immortals in
his journey, most ended in his victory, there were few draws and very rarely did he lose.
The more Vicious Lightning Fiend won, the greater his reputation soared, because he gained a lot of
resources from the spars and duels, the amount of lightning deities that he owned increased instead of
decreasing, there were a total of three now!
Even before he had lightning deity, Vicious Lightning Fiend already had an impressive achievement of
battling a rank seven Gu Immortal to a draw.
Now with three lightning deities, his battle strength had increased explosively, even surpassing normal
rank seven Gu Immortals. In his challenges, he had achievements of defeating many rank seven Gu
Immortals.
With rank six cultivation, winning against rank seven Gu Immortal was extremely rare. Especially
praiseworthy was that Vicious Lightning Fiend had repeatedly challenged and won against rank seven
Gu Immortals, he was at the peak of fame now, and the reputation of Myriad Dragon Dock, his affiliated
sect, was also soaring with him.
This was to the extent that the whole of Central Continent’s Gu Immortal world was starting to
recognize Vicious Lightning Fiend as the strongest among rank six Gu Immortals of the current
generation in Central Continent. Some battle hungry elders of Myriad Dragon Dock were so
encouraged that they even proimed that Vicious Lightning Fiend was the next Shi Lei, the next Feng
Jiu Ge.
Vicious Lightning Fiend had immediately reprimanded them when he heard news of it: “Leave Shi Lei
aside, but Lord Feng Jiu Ge is not someone I am qualified topare with. Speak less of such things
from now on!”
The implication of his words was that he was able to match Shi Lei.
Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei was a rank seven Gu Immortal of Combat Immortal Sect with
outstanding battle strength, but he had firmly been pushed down by Feng Jiu Ge, unable to turn the
situation around.
It was rare to see a monster like Feng Jiu Ge even once in thousands of years, Central Continent’s ten
great ancient sects had been forced to ept it, respecting and fearing him.
A series of victory fostered Vicious Lightning Fiend’s swagger, till he began to publicly challenge Shi
Lei.
Combat Immortal Sect’s people were naturally extremely indignant, but strangely, the violent natured
Shi Lei was maintaining silence.
This instead boosted Myriad Dragon Dock’s confidence, as they felt Shi Lei did not have certainty in
dealing with Vicious Lightning Fiend, and was hiding like a coward.
Of course, people who knew some of the inside story were aware that Vicious Lightning Fiend’s
challenge was nothing more than Myriad Dragon Dock probing at Combat Immortal Sect. Combat
Immortal Sect discovered Starry Sky grotto-heaven and Star Constetion Immortal Venerable’s dream
realm within it, they had already covertly started attacking the grotto-heaven. And because they had
withdrawn their Gu Immortal level battle strength from everywhere, the other nine sects were already
starting to sense something amiss.
However, such secrets were generally only known by Gu Immortal level higher-ups and characters.
Thus, when Myriad Dragon Dock’s elders and disciples saw Fang Zheng’s group, they were clearly
filled with arrogance.
“Ah, it is Immortal Crane Sect’s people.”
“Hehehe, what are you here for? To see how your elders fail?”
“It’s useless, our Myriad Dragon Dock’s Lord Dragon Chief will definitely be the final winner, no doubt of
it!”
Myriad Dragon Dock’s Gu Masters immediately taunted and jeered.
Thepetition between Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects was extremely intense, there was
much rivalry between either side.
Especially when Immortal Crane Sect had been showing weakness for a long time now, Myriad Dragon
Dock’s members, with their increasing reputation, further looked down on Immortal Crane Sect.
Immortal Crane Sect’s disciples felt suffocated by anger, but they could not retort to them, maintaining
their silence as Myriad Dragon Dock’s group brushed past them, before they sat at their arranged
seats.
“A bunch of cowards.” Someone said in disdain.
Someone else ridiculed: “Hahaha, this is indeed the style of Immortal Crane Sect.”
Immortal Crane Sect’s group looked even more unsightly.
Some spectators were surprised at this and asked: “Immortal Crane Sect and Myriad Dragon Dock are
both of the ten great ancient sects, why is Myriad Dragon Dock being so rampant?”
Someone immediately replied: “There are stronger and weaker sects even among the ten great ancient
sects. Immortal Crane Sect is weaker than Myriad Dragon Dock, this is known by everyone. Besides
this, the participating Gu Master of Myriad Dragon Dock in this test is truly strong, it is that refinement
path Gu Master who is called Firesmith Dragon Chief!”
“What? Firesmith Dragon Chief is actually a Gu Master of Myriad Dragon Dock, isn’t he a lone
cultivator?”
“Hehe, didn’t you read the information from Lightning Information Sect? This Firesmith Dragon Chief
had vited sect rules in his early years and was thrown out of Myriad Dragon Dock. He is participating
in this Refinement Path Convention to get a good cing and return to Myriad Dragon Dock!”
“So it was like that. It is said this Firesmith Dragon Chief has grandmaster attainment in refinement
path! Even a person like this is begging to return to Myriad Dragon Dock, the appeal of Central
Continent’s ten great ancient sects is really enormous…”
Over at Immortal Crane Sect, Fang Zheng and the other elder were quietly discussing.
Fang Zheng asked: “I wonder, what is the possibility of our sect’s Elder Yan Tang seeding in this
round?”
Fang Zheng did not have much skill in Gu refinement, he had trained hard and barely passed the four
entry tasks, registering his name. However, he was miserably eliminated in the first round.
Fortunately,rge-scalepetitions were all open contests and did not prohibit anyone from
spectating.
Fang Zheng’s status was also high, as an elder of Immortal Crane Sect. Elder Yan Tang, who had
invited him to many banquets and drinks, was participating this time, be it privately or publicly, he had
toe in support of Elder Yan Tang.
The Immortal Crane Sect elder, sitting beside Fang Zheng, frowned at his question and sighed: “Elder
Fang Zheng, you are also aware that Elder Yan Tang’s main cultivation is fire path, and he only
cultivates refinement path on the side. Meanwhile Firesmith Dragon Chief’s main cultivation is
refinement path and he cultivates fire path on the side. The gap is toorge.”
Fang Zheng still did not understandpletely: “Even so, with Elder Yan Tang’s refinement path
attainment, he should be able to ce in the top three.”
“Sigh!” The Immortal Crane Sect elder shook his head while smiling bitterly, “Elder Fang Zheng, you
are not aware, after the seventh round of the Refinement Path Convention, it uses a cruel system of a
single winner. In this huge Demon Expelling Sect test venue, only one Gu Master will be able to win
and advance.”
“What? It is actually like that!” Fang Zheng was shocked and was only able to react after a few breaths.
He had experienced many setbacks, as such, the way he thought had changed, “Since the opponent is
so strong, then why didn’t Elder Yan Tang go to another test venue? The Refinement Path Convention
doesn’t restrict the participants from choosing the venue.”
“Elder Fang Zheng, you are right in thinking of that. After all, retreating to progress forward is also a
tactical victory. But unfortunately, other test venues have already been upied by refinement path
experts. Moreover… it was the higher ups’ decision to arrange Elder Yan Tang in this venue.” The final
words were spoken quietly by the Immortal Crane Sect elder.
Fang Zheng was rmed and startled, if he still did not understand now, he would be an idiot!
“So the higher ups had already made the decision to sacrifice Elder Yan Tang to probe Firesmith
Dragon Chief?”
He suddenly recalled his master, Lord Sky Crane’s words — Elder Yan Tang was isted in Immortal
Crane Sect, so he is inviting you to drinks to form a political alliance with you.
‘Because he is alone, he was chosen to be a sacrifice… Elder Yan Tang is probably filled with
discontent. What if I was treated as a sacrifice one day?’
The moment he thought of this, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered the miserable scene of him in the
blood pool, with blood vines growing all over him.
Ugh!
The nightmarish memory surfaced again, Fang Zheng shuddered and gasped.
“What’s wrong?” The elder beside him asked with concern.
“Nothing.” Fang Zheng wiped his forehead, his palm swiping away ayer of cold sweat.
He did not dare to think more, he was filled with panic and hesitation inside.
Right at this time, the elder’s voice resounded in his ears: “All the participants have entered the venue,
this round of thepetition is about to begin.”
Fang Zheng quickly raised his head, and saw over a hundred Gu Masters slowly stepping onto the
stage.
Fang Zheng saw Immortal Crane Sect’s Elder Yan Tang, who was expressionless, but his gaze was
filled with discontent and helplessness.
At another side, the red robed Firesmith Dragon Chief, however, had an arrogant expression as he
gazed around, not concealing his disdain and contempt towards the surrounding participants.
“A group of weaklings, it is my win for sure. Start already.” Firesmith Dragon Chief indifferentlyughed
loudly, openly urging Demon Expelling Sect’s hosting elder.
The surrounding refinement path Gu Masters did not dare to refute this because of Firesmith Dragon
Chief’s strength. Immortal Crane Sect’s Elder Yan Tang clenched his fists tightly and looked furious, but
he unexpectedly remained silent.
“Victory to Myriad Dragon Dock! Victory!!”
“Firesmith Dragon Chief will win!”
Myriad Dragon Dock’s group was cheering loudly, as if injected with morale. They were rampant, the
surrounding spectators, however, could only sit quietly and watch all this happening.
‘Repulsive, truly repulsive!’ Fang Zheng still had the nature of a young man, he was clenching his teeth
and shouting furiously inwardly, ‘Damn it, if only I had enough strength. I really hope someone will beat
down this Firesmith Dragon Chief right now, and destroy this Myriad Dragon Dock group’s arrogance.’
Seemingly responding to his wish, a figure quietly appeared. At first, no one paid attention, but when he
stepped on the stage, countless gazes turned towards him.
