C691 Impudent
Xu Zijing had a high position in the Cloud Rising Sect. Apart from the true disciples and the elder in green, only the Egret had a higher status than him. Now, Ning Qi had suddenly appeared, which made him very unhappy.
"Hehe, why are you calling me senior brother?"
Zong Yin looked at Xu Zijing with a smile that wasn't a smile. He had once had a grudge with this guy, and their relationship wasn't very good.
"What? Could it be that because his cultivation speed is different from ordinary people, you, Zong Yin, want to flatter him? Who knows if he hid his cultivation level or even his age before entering the sect?"
Xu Zijing sneered. When everyone heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on their faces. Because the meaning of Xu Zijing's words was very obvious. He was saying that Ning Qi might be a spy sent by another family or sect.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. senior brother Ning has already been accepted by the Withered Bone Forbidden Land's Lantern Master as his true disciple. So, he is a true disciple. According to the rules of the sect, shouldn't we call him senior brother?"
Zong Yin said with a smile.
A true disciple?
Everyone was shocked and quickly bowed to Ning Qi, addressing him as senior brother. The Heron Seal was no exception.
Xu Zijing's face was very pale at the moment. He glanced at Ning Qi in disbelief. Finally, he forced himself to bow and said, "senior brother Ning."
Ning Qi glanced at him indifferently and ignored Xu Zijing. He smiled at Zong Yin and the others and said, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, you were not in the sect before. We will need a few more days to reach Jiuzhou Empire. During this period of time, why don't we talk about our own experiences and waste some time? "
"Alright."
The Egret smiled and nodded.
"Damn it! He actually dares to ignore me!"
Xu Zijing's face turned red and white.
After that, Ning Qi and the other inner circle disciples started fighting. It didn't take long for everyone to get familiar with each other. Only Xu Zijing stood by the side sulking. Perhaps he had offended too many people in the sect, so no one paid any attention to him. When Zong Yin saw this scene, he felt delighted in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.
The battleship landed at the southern gate of Jiuzhou Empire's Jing City. At the same time, a few other battleships landed one after another. It seemed like they were also one of the 36 Great Top Sect who had come to participate in the ranking competition.
Heavenly Sword Marquis stood on top of a tall building on the city wall, looking coldly at the battleships landing one after another. He didn't have a good impression of the ranking competition at all. Every time this happened, all kinds of troublesome things would happen in Jing City. He was the one with the highest position in the Southern Gateway. Sometimes, he had to pay for these things.
Ning Qi and the others followed behind Deng Tong and Wild Waves and got off the warship. After that, Deng Tong waved his hand and the warship shrunk and fell into his sleeve.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked towards them. He was more than nine feet tall. There was a faint smile on his face. Behind him... There were also ten young men and women with similar cultivation bases as Zong Yin and the others, as well as three or four Battle Ancestor Level Deacon Chief Elders.
"The Jade Pill Sect's Great Elder, Huang Haitao?"
Ning Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had seen this middle-aged man before in the Water Dragon Sacred City.
Before coming here, Ning Qi had already collected the information. Among the 36 Great Top Sect, the Jade Pill Sect was definitely one of the top three. Their strength was much stronger than the Cloud Rising Sect, and they were only Battle Saint Level warriors. There were as many as nine of them! This was only on the surface, but he didn't know if there were still some undying old monsters hiding in the dark.
"Elder Huang."
When Deng Tong saw Huang Haitao, his facial expression changed slightly, and he looked a little ugly. However, he still cupped his hands and greeted Huang Haitao politely.
Huang Haitao chuckled and swept his gaze across the crowd. When he saw Ning Qi, he felt that this kid was somewhat familiar, but now, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. After realizing that Ning Qi was only a One Star Battle Ancestor, he didn't really care about it. He treated him like an ordinary Deacon Chief elder.
"Deng Tong, this time, your Cloud Rising Sect will bring these little fellows to participate in the ranking competition? Not even a Battle Emperor from the eighth stage?"
Huang Haitao revealed a mocking smile.
When Ning Qi heard this, his expression changed slightly. Huang Haitao had mocked him the moment he saw him. He was afraid that his relationship with the Cloud Rising Sect wasn't very good.1
Deng Tong let out a hollow laugh and said, "Elder Huang, our Cloud Rising Sect can't compare with your Jade Pill Sect. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he indicated to the crowd and walked towards the south gate.
However, in the next moment, Huang Haitao moved and appeared in front of Deng Tong. He stopped Deng Tong and said with a smile, "Don't be so anxious. Have you forgotten about the Jade Pill Sect's ranking competition every year? Do you want to make a bet with the Cloud Rising Sect? This year is no exception. How about this, if you can get thirty-fourth place this time... I'll take it as my loss and give you 50,000 Mid-grade Spirit Crystal. On the other hand, what do you think? "
"Fifty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystal?"
Deng Tong's face turned green.
This was equivalent to the price of a Low-grade Heaven-rank Battle Artifact. Although there was a bet in the past years, at most, he would bet five thousand or ten thousand. Every time. The Cloud Rising Sect had lost completely. This time, the opponent had actually asked for fifty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystal. Obviously, he was planning to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation!
"Elder Huang, you must be joking. According to the rules of the previous years, let's bet 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Crystal."
Deng Tong said with a smile. He knew that the bet was unavoidable, but at least he could minimize the loss.
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders and inner circle disciples of Jade Pill Sect let out a soft laugh.
On the Cloud Rising Sect's side, Wuh Hu was the leader. All the Deacon Chief elders and inner circle disciples were glaring at each other.
The atmosphere on both sides seemed to have become somewhat tense. Some passers-by were gossiping and stopped in their tracks, wanting to watch a good show.
On top of the tall building, Heavenly Sword Marquis had a gloating expression on his face. When he saw Ning Qi, his facial expression changed slightly.
"This kid has broken through to the Battle Ancestor?"
When Heavenly Sword Marquis found out that Ning Qi's cultivation base was already at the One Star Battle Ancestor, a trace of shock appeared on his face. He remembered the last time he saw Ning Qi, Ning Qi was merely a Peak of Battle Emperor warrior!
"Ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystal? You sent someone to beg for food, right?"
Huang Haitao looked at Deng Tong with a smile that was not a smile, and spoke in an overbearing manner.
"Elder Deng, since they want to bet, we, the Cloud Rising Sect, will bet. There's no need to be afraid."
Ning Qi suddenly said.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Everyone immediately looked at Ning Qi. They were furious. "What right do you have to speak? Step down!"
Ning Qi glanced at Raging Waves with a faint smile and ignored him. He just looked at Deng Tong.
"Ai, senior brother Ning is really young and aggressive. We, the Cloud Rising Sect, have never won a bet with the Jade Pill Sect. If we lose fifty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystal this time, our cultivation resources will be reduced by twenty percent!"
"Haha, Ning Qi, let's see how you're going to end this!"
Xu Zijing looked at Ning Qi with a gloating expression.
