C257 Core Disciple
"So that's the truth!"
Only now did Lin Cheng understand. At that time, he still felt strange. No matter how talented Qiao Yanfu was, after all, it was only a Cultivating Warrior, and the risk of breaking through to the Core Sea Stage was not small. There were many geniuses who had lost their lives in this trial, so why would the Myriad Sword Sect need such an uncertain genius? And offend both the Longevity Sect and the Unification Sect at the same time?
It turned out that Qiao Yanfu had been brought by an elder of the Longevity Sect to join the Myriad Sword Sect. In other words, this Qiao Yanfu could be considered a greeting gift or a declaration of allegiance to the Myriad Sword Sect.
As for Qiao Yanfu himself, since he had joined the Myriad Sword Sect, he had a bright future ahead of him, and he wouldn't have to face the fury of the Longevity Sect alone. Therefore, he wouldn't feel too much pressure. It seemed like he was happy to accept the offer.
"If that's the case, the reputation of the Longevity Sect will be ruined." Lin Cheng shook his head. An elder of his sect and a disciple with extraordinary talent had betrayed him at the same time. Regardless of whether the Longevity Sect could use their thunderous means to clean up the sect, they would lose all face.
"Even if their reputation is tarnished, the Longevity Sect can't do anything about it. I heard that their inheritance has already been broken. There were almost no decent experts in the sect. In the face of such a powerful sect like the Myriad Sword Sect... If they don't dare to die together, they can only grit their teeth and admit it. " Zhou Chuan said.
Lin Cheng frowned and said, "Once this opening is opened, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of disciples from the Longevity Sect who will seek refuge with the Myriad Sword Sect. In this way, the Myriad Sword Sect will become even stronger."
With Qiao Yanfu as an example, the inheritance of the Longevity Sect would be broken once again. The remaining disciples would certainly become restless, and everyone would want to seek refuge in a stronger sect. With this, the Myriad Sword Sect would be able to obtain another batch of talented disciples. It wouldn't take long for their strength to rise to another level.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown. The improvement of the Myriad Sword Sect wasn't good news to him.
Zhou Chuan nodded and said with a smile, "Brother, this isn't something you and I can ask. Sect Master and the elder will have to worry about this. We just need to improve our strength."
"That's right!"
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "No matter what kind of unforeseen event happens, the most important thing is to be strong!"
Looking at the gazes around him and hearing the news from Zhou Chuan, Lin Cheng suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He wanted to immediately become a giant.
"Today, I will make a breakthrough!"
Lin Cheng made up his mind. After returning to Blue Mountain Peak, he would immediately break through to the Core Sea Stage.
"Junior brother!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side. Lin Cheng and the others immediately looked towards the source of the voice. They saw a girl wearing a purple dress walking towards them from not far away.
This woman was about 20 years old. She was tall and had a faint smile on her face. She looked very attractive.
"Yan Yutang!"
Zhou Changyue frowned when she saw this woman. She immediately turned around and walked over, "What do you want to do?"
The female who was called Yan Yutang said with a faint smile, "Senior Sister Zhou, I came to find Junior Brother Lin. Why are you so nervous?"
"Hmph!"
Zhou Changyue coldly snorted and said with a frown, "Yan Yutang, my brother and the others do not welcome you. Please leave."
Hearing Zhou Changyue's rude words, Yan Yutang revealed a surprised expression, "Senior Sister Zhou, could it be that Junior Brother Lin is also your brother? Then I will really be presumptuous!"
Zhou Changyue was slightly stunned when she heard this and just as she wanted to refute, Yan Yutang had already shifted her gaze away. She looked at Lin Cheng and smiled, "Junior Brother Lin, my name is Yan Yutang. I entered the sect a few days earlier than you. If you are willing, you can call me senior sister."
Lin Cheng cupped his fists and said, "Lin Cheng greets Senior Sister Yan."
He naturally understood that this girl called Yan Yutang did not just enter the sect a few days earlier than him. Because she was a cultivator, that meant she was an inner circle disciple. It was only natural for him to call her senior sister Yan.
However, there seemed to be some conflict between Yan Yutang and Zhou Changyue. This made Lin Cheng curious as to why Yan Yutang came to find him.
"Lin Cheng, this woman has ulterior motives. You don't need to pay attention to her!" Zhou Changyue immediately said from the side.
"Senior Sister Zhou, if you do not have any ulterior motives, why do you have to follow Junior Brother Lin all the time? If I didn't attack you, why would you do such a despicable thing?" Yan Yutang smiled faintly.
"You..."
Zhou Changyue's face instantly turned cold and just as she wanted to say something, Yan Yutang actually did not look at her anymore and she immediately felt a clot on her chest.
"Junior Brother Lin, your magnificent feat in the secret realm has already spread throughout the sect. Senior disciple Zu Zhuntian admires you very much and would like to invite you to meet at Zhuntian Peak." Yan Yutang smiled and said, "I wonder if Junior Brother Lin is willing to give it to you?"
Before Lin Cheng could say anything, Zhou Changyue's expression suddenly changed and she said coldly, "Yan Yutang, don't go too far. Junior Brother Lin is travelling with me. Are you going to start a war?"
Yan Yutang did not look at her and only said with a faint smile, "Although Junior Brother Lin is only an outer sect disciple, I have never heard of him becoming someone else's subordinate and servant! Junior Brother Lin, could it be that Senior Brother Zu's invitation has caused you trouble?"
"Yan Yutang!"
Zhou Changyue's face was cold and her gaze became fierce," You really want to fight?! "
Yan Yutang glanced at her and lightly said, "Senior Sister Zhou, when you can make the decision for Senior Brother Tong, can you say this again?"
The ground suddenly fell!
Zhou Changyue's face turned red and immediately became gloomy and cold.
"Yan Yutang, don't force me to invite you to the martial arts arena!" Zhou Changyue said coldly.
"I'm just afraid that Senior Brother Tong will be unhappy!" Yan Yutang smiled faintly.
"You..." Zhou Changyue was furious.
At this time, Zhu Ziqiao had already come to Lin Cheng's side. She said lightly, "Thank you senior sister Yan and senior brother Zu for thinking so highly of me. Lin Cheng and I will thank both senior brothers and senior sister here."
Yan Yutang smiled and nodded but Zhou Changyue urgently said, "Ziqiao, you..."
"It is just that the two of us have just entered the sect and have yet to settle down so we are really unable to immediately go and greet senior brother Zu." Zhu Ziqiao said, "In a few days when we settle down, we will definitely go and greet senior brother Zu immediately."
Yan Yutang was stunned when she heard this, especially when she faced Zhu Ziqiao face to face. She, who had always been extremely confident and proud of her appearance and figure, actually had a kind of stunning feeling which made her somewhat absent-minded.
Zhu Ziqiao's beauty, although it was not to the extent of making her feel inferior, felt somewhat powerless. There were even some words that she could not say.
"That's good too!"
Yan Yutang nodded and said, "Then I will pass on your words to Senior Martial Brother Zu. I believe that Senior Martial Brother Zu will definitely look forward to your arrival."
After saying that, she smiled and nodded at the two of them before turning around and leaving. She actually did not look at Zhou Changyue again.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Changyue's face was cold and she could not help but snort coldly.
Zhou Chuan asked, "Sister, this Yan Yutang is not your match?"
"Hmph! She's just a fox! He's quite proud of himself for following Zu Zhuntian and flaunting his power! " Zhou Changyue said with disdain," She's most proud of her looks, but in front of Sister Ziqiao, who has such a beautiful face, she can only be eclipsed and leave with her tail between her legs!"
Zhu Ziqiao lightly laughed and did not care about Zhou Changyue's praise.
"Senior Sister Zhou, what kind of person is this Senior Brother Zu Zhuntian that Senior Sister Yan was talking about? He is also a senior brother in the inner sect?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.
"Yes!"
Zhou Changyue was obviously in a bad mood. She simply said, "He is also an inner sect disciple. He is just a core disciple. That Yan Yutang just now followed him."
Core disciple?
Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao were stunned at the same time. They already knew that core disciples had the highest status in the sect. Every core disciple had a mountain peak and there were many Followers underneath.0
And to become a core disciple, there were no other conditions. There was only one thing, and that was, an incomparably powerful strength!
Although Lin Cheng and Yan Yutang didn't know how powerful a core disciple was, at least the fluctuation of the Spirit Power emitted from Yan Yutang's body just now. It was definitely not weak. It made them feel the pressure. Especially when Zhou Changyue sternly asked Yan Yutang if she wanted to fight, the Spirit Power fluctuation on Yan Yutang's body instantly became stronger.
Lin Cheng knew that Yan Yutang was raising her vigilance to prevent Zhou Changyue from suddenly attacking, so that was definitely not Yan Yutang's peak strength. But even so, it had already made him feel a great pressure.
But Yan Yutang was only a Follower!
Then, how powerful would the core disciple Zu Zhuntian, who Yan Yutang was willing to follow, be?
How could such a powerful core disciple invite him?
Lin Cheng's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility - a rare treasure!
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Lin Cheng immediately confirmed his guess. Only a rare treasure could attract the attention of a core disciple. Otherwise, he would only be Junior Cultivating Warrior, who had just entered the sect. How could he attract the attention of a core disciple?
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but furrow his brows. Although he had mentally prepared himself and knew that there would definitely be people eyeing the rare treasure, Yan Yutang's arrival still shocked him.
Because he did not expect that the first person to react would be a core disciple.
This also meant that he would have to face such a powerful enemy from the very beginning!
But more importantly, there was more than one core disciple in the sect. There were other core disciples in the sect!
For example...
Lin Cheng glanced at Zhou Changyue's face out of the corner of his eye. He looked at Zhou Changyue's face, which was still ugly and had an angry look on it. He could not help but feel his heart sink.
She dared to directly question Yan Yutang whether she wanted to start a war or not, and was not afraid of Zu Zhuntian, who was behind Yan Yutang. Furthermore, he could make Yan Yutang also call him senior brother. That person called Tong Chenen was most likely also a core disciple, right?
At this moment, Lin Cheng thought of many things and suddenly understood a lot.
The originally vague doubts were now all cleared up, and they were all clear now.
