C96 He Refused It
Building 33. When Qi Zhuohao heard Deacon Huang's words, he heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Deacon Huang wouldn't dare to attack him as he had expected. He sneered and said, "Deacon Huang, which elder should each disciple take as their master? Will they take the elders as their master? This was the choice of the disciples. The Deacon had no right to interfere. Deacon Huang... Please! "
" Also, Deacon Huang, let me give you a warning as well. Don't give me pointers in front of me. I, Qi Zhuohao, am not scared. Forgive me for not sending you off! "Qi Zhuohao's tone changed. His tone was filled with anger. He hated people threatening him the most.
Qi Zhuohao was very confident. He knew that Deacon Huang would not dare to attack him here. Also, he, Qi Zhuohao, was not afraid that Deacon Huang would attack him. Deacon Huang was only an early stage Huayuan expert, and was far from being comparable to Zhu Tianrong. He had the Desolate Cauldron, heartforce, and Desolate Force. If they really fought... Although he didn't dare say he could beat Deacon Huang, he should be able to save his life.
Back when Qi Zhuohao was only an Essence Condensation Stage, he was able to survive Zhu Tianrong's attack. Now, Qi Zhuohao's strength was many times stronger than before. He really didn't care too much about a Deacon!
"Qi Zhuohao, you are courting death. Don't force me to attack you!" Deacon Huang was furious, his killing intent filling the air.
Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao was not afraid at all. He looked at Deacon Huang and said, "Deacon Huang, am I courting death? You can try, but before you attack, I have to remind you again. This is the Afterglow Peak, Poison Peak Lord's territory. I believe you are a smart man. "
"When I was just an inner circle disciple, Zhu Tianrong couldn't do anything to me. How could a Deacon like you threaten me?"
Qi Zhuohao said in a cold tone. It would be best if he didn't make a move. A Essence Incarnating Stage warrior's strength was not to be underestimated. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to fight Deacon Huang. He believed that his words would make Deacon Huang leave with his tail between his legs.
Sure enough, Deacon Huang gritted his teeth in anger, but he still didn't make a move. He looked at Qi Zhuohao and thought for a while before snorting coldly. After that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Obviously, Deacon Huang wasn't afraid of Qi Zhuohao. He was afraid of Du Qingluo.
Deacon Huang knew that Qi Zhuohao could protect his life under Zhu Tianrong's hands. It was because Qi Zhuohao had obtained the Small Cauldron from the Wilted Wood Peak, and Du Qingluo had coincidentally arrived. Deacon Huang believed that he could kill Qi Zhuohao, but after killing Qi Zhuohao... He would have to bear the risk of Du Qingluo's fury. It was just too great.
Qi Zhuohao was right. This was the Afterglow Peak, the territory of Du Qingluo. Not to mention Deacon Huang, even the Third Elder came personally. Du Qingluo wasn't the only expert who lived in Wanxia Peak!
Deacon Huang also wanted the Small Cauldron in Qi Zhuohao's hand, but he wasn't stupid enough to make a move in the Wilted Wood Peak. Du Qingluo alone could easily kill him, including those old men from the Afterglow Peak. He was courting death by attacking Qi Zhuohao!
Looking at Deacon Huang leaving in a flustered and exasperated manner, Qi Zhuohao sneered in his heart. He could also see that the Third Elder had colluded with Zhu Tianrong and the others in order to obtain the authority of the Thousand Searching Sect. He was a traitor and could never be associated with them.
"Ai! It seems like the Thousand Searching Sect won't have peace in the future. I should leave the Thousand Searching Sect as soon as possible after the trial in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave ends!"
Qi Zhuohao sighed with emotion. The Sect Master Shen Wanteng and his wife left the sect together for some reason. This matter was very strange. It was a conflict between the upper echelons of the Thousand Searching Sect. The ones who had sacrificed the most were these disciples. Who knew how many of them would still be alive in this revolution?
Qi Zhuohao had already made up his mind that he would not take any of the elders as his master. However, he had to join one of the major powers. His choice... Without a doubt, this was the Great Elder's side. First, he wanted to protect his own safety, and the two of them would repay the Great Elder for his help in the past.
Back then, Zhu Tianrong wanted to harm Qi Zhuohao by taking Qi Zhuohao into the Wilted Wood Peak. The Sect Master and the Great Elder were the ones who helped him. Qi Zhuohao had a good impression of the Great Elder, Shen Wanchun. Presumably... The Great Elder's side represented justice!
Of course, this was only Qi Zhuohao's opinion. What was the truth? He would only know when the two forces completely erupted. Therefore... Qi Zhuohao had to think carefully before making a decision. If the Great Elder was also a man with wild ambitions... He, Qi Zhuohao, was like a wolf's nest. Qi Zhuohao was not someone who would betray his beliefs. In everything, loyalty, filial piety, and benevolence were the first things that mattered!
Qi Zhuohao had his own way of doing things. The moment he entered the Thousand Searching Sect, he would forever be loyal to the Thousand Searching Sect and would never betray them. On the contrary, there was a traitor in the Thousand Searching Sect, and Qi Zhuohao was able to defeat him. He would never sit by and do nothing.
It was worth mentioning that the Thousand Searching Sect that Qi Zhuohao was referring to was the Thousand Searching Sect led by the Sect Master, Shen Wanteng. It was not a place ruled by traitors. All traitors were the criminals of the Thousand Searching Sect. They should be eliminated!
Of course, these matters were still far away. Qi Zhuohao's top priority right now was... Only then would he have the right to interfere in the conflicts among the higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect. Otherwise, all these thoughts were just empty words and meaningless!
Putting aside the complicated emotions, Qi Zhuohao quickly entered into an ethereal state of cultivation. His realm was slowly increasing...
"Zhuohao, how was your rest last night? The competition is about to begin. Let's hurry over!"
The next morning, Qi Zhuohao had just closed the door of the attic when Nan Yudia's voice was heard. He turned around and smiled at Nan Yudia. He said, "It was alright, right? How about you?"
Qi Zhuohao actually did not rest. He practiced for the whole night. Of course, Cultivation Stage could recover his physical strength and spirit more than sleeping. The Heart Cultivation was even stronger than a Cultivation Stage. If he kept cultivating the Heart Cultivation... A warrior simply didn't need to rest.
"I'm fine too. By the way, do you know who went to look for me last night? You might not believe me if I tell you, but it's that Xiao Deacon."
Nan Yudia's tone was somewhat distressed. After listening, Qi Zhuohao immediately revealed a surprised expression and said, "Xiao Deacon also went to look for you? That's right. The Thousand Searching Sect is in turmoil. These Deacon must do their best to rope in genius disciples. "
"Zhuohao, could it be that Xiao Deacon also came to look for you?" Nan Yudia could hear that Qi Zhuohao had also been targeted by those Deacon.
"It's not Xiao Deacon. The one who came looking for me was that Deacon Huang. He even threatened me. You know that I can't be threatened by him." Qi Zhuohao replied. If there was a chance in the future, he had to take revenge on that Deacon Huang.
"Oh right, Yudia, you did not agree to that Xiao Deacon, did you? Xiao Deacon should be on Deacon Huang's side. They are the Third Elder, Shen Ba, and Zhu Tianrong's side." Qi Zhuohao changed the topic and asked.
Nan Yudia's tone became solemn when she heard him and said, "How can I agree to Xiao Deacon? I have no interest in becoming your disciple!"1
What Nan Yudia did not say was that her family's reputation was illustrious. These elders of the Thousand Searching Sect were not qualified to become her master. Furthermore, she was not interested in the conflicts between the upper echelons of the Thousand Searching Sect. She was not concerned at all!
"Hehe! That's good. Alright, let's not talk about these things. Let's leave quickly. If we are late, we will be in trouble..."
Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia chatted as they quickly arrived at the central square. There were only 36 disciples left in the competition. The central square was still filled with people. The disciples put down what they were doing and almost all of them came to watch the competition. Obviously, the disciples who were eliminated wanted to see which one of them would end up in the top three of the Afterglow Peak's battlefield.
Today was the last day of the competition. Furthermore, all the geniuses in the Afterglow Peak's battlefield had successfully advanced. Today's competition was bound to be exciting and could not be missed!
After a short while, the three Deacon finally accompanied Du Qingluo to the central square. Gao Wu walked onto the arena with familiarity. After glancing at the disciples, he shouted loudly, "Everyone, quiet down!"
The square instantly became silent. Gao Wu nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Everyone, today is the last day of the battle for the Nine Peaks. There were a total of five rounds of advancement competition, which was the first round of the competition. Thirty-six people made it into the eighteenth place. In the second round, there will be eighteen places to enter the ninth place, and in the third round, there will be nine places to enter the fifth place. The fourth round of semifinals with 5 wins and 3 losses, as well as the finals of the top three places... All participating disciples, please prepare yourselves. The first round of drawing lots is about to begin!"
Then, Gao Wu announced the rules of the competition in detail. The top thirty-six were one-versus-one competitions, and the winner would be eliminated after advancing to the next round. The same went for the top 9 of the top 18. The remaining nine would enter the top 5, and the semi-final would be different from the final. The top 5 and the semi-final would draw lots to draw a lucky disciple. The rest of the disciples would compete one-to-one. The victorious disciples and the lucky disciples would advance to the next round.
When it was the finals, the winner and the lucky disciple would advance to the top three! After that, the three disciples drew lots to have a showdown. The disciples who lost the first round directly ranked third. The remaining two would compete for the first place in the final match.
Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were both looking forward to it. Of course, their expressions were very serious. Meng Ziyan, Yao Yuanqing, Su Muh, Wu Xuechuan and the other geniuses had all advanced to the top thirty-six. Today's competition would be extremely intense!
"Alright, there are 36 wooden plates in the box. They are numbered from one to eighteen, and each number has two wooden plates. The holder of a wooden plate with the same number is the opponent. The competition starts from number 1. The top 18 will be decided, and the lots will be drawn now. "
As soon as Gao Wu finished speaking, Qi Zhuohao and the other disciples who had lined up in a straight line started drawing lots. Soon, all 36 wooden plates were placed in the hands of Qi Zhuohao and the others.
"Zhuohao, I drew number five. What about you?" Nan Yudia asked in a low voice. In this kind of drawing and dueling method, the two of them would very likely become each other's opponents. This was also the situation they were worried about. Their luck... Would it continue to get better?
Qi Zhuohao was immediately delighted when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Haha! I drew number one. Looks like even the heavens are helping us!"
The rules of this round were number one versus number one, number two versus two... Qi Zhuohao drew number one, and Nan Yudia drew number five. The two of them obviously would not become each other's opponents. It was worth celebrating!
"That's good!" Nan Yudia also revealed a knowing smile. She thought in her heart: It was Qi Zhuohao who entered the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave with her. There were many treasures in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. Similarly, there were many dangers in the ___. The two of them would enter together and take care of each other.
After the drawing of lots ended, Gao Wu raised his hand, and that sonorous and powerful voice was heard once again, "Alright, I won't talk about this anymore. Now, let's invite disciple number one onto the stage. If he lost, he would be eliminated. If you win, you will be promoted. Remember, after you lose the competition, you won't have the chance to challenge the disciples of other groups. Please use your full strength, the quota for the trial in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. I'm waiting for you... "
This kind of competition was like fighting in a life and death arena, losing. There would never be a chance to enter the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave, because no matter which disciple it was, they would never become a core disciple of the Thousand Searching Sect for a hundred years, the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. A hundred years! It would be opened once every 100 years!
