Chapter 97: The Arrival of Qin Chuan, Unprecedented Shock
“Sect Master, those people wouldn’t bow and kowtow to me for no reason. Has my identity as an immortal cultivator been exposed?” Wang Zhixing
After that, he recounted everything that happened yesterday in detail to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan’s face was dark. He had a plan.
“I will investigate whether your identity has been exposed later.
“Now, I’ll send you back to the sect first.”
“Mm!”
Qin Chuan used his invisibility technique and brought Wang Zhixing back to the sect.
A few minutes later, he appeared above Flag Mountain.
Meanwhile, in the arena below, there was an uproar as a battle of words broke out.
The source of all this was still Wang Zhixing and his son.
Because they left without saying goodbye, Gu Hongtao had a mental breakdown.
He had originally thought that it was because of him that Wang Zhixing and his son left so suddenly.
However, after thinking about it, he believed that it was due to Hu Guangyi’s out-of-line behavior last night.
Therefore, he immediately went to the trio and put the blame on them, giving them a big scolding.
However, Hu Guangyi and his brothers were not pushovers.
Hu Guangbo had a fiery temper, and he moved about to hit Gu Hongtao.
Gu Hongtao had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Although they were all Great Grandmasters, he himself was at the peak of the realm. He thought nothing of Hu Guangbo.
Just as the two of them were about to start fighting, Hu Guangyi pulled Hu Guangbo away.
He was wary of Gu Hongtao’s ability. After all, he was a peak Great Grandmaster. Even if they added their strength together, they still couldn’t match him.
Since they weren’t going to use force, they used their mouths.
In the beginning, Gu Hongtao had a verbal battle with the three of them. Later on, all the younger disciples participated.
However, this was Gu Hongtao’s home ground, and he had a huge advantage. Hu Guangyi’s side was at a disadvantage.
Qin Chuan stood in the air and observed them for a while before landing.
He landed in the front courtyard of the academy.
Presently, most of the people in the academy were at the arena, so no one noticed him.
Qin Chuan put on a mask and walked towards the arena.
“Gu Hongtao, I’m warning you. Don’t go too far.” Hu Guangyi couldn’t take it anymore.
Gu Hongtao was furious and said aggressively, “What are you gonna do about it!”
Hu Guangyi said angrily, “Gu Hongtao, you were the one who made Senior leave, but you pushed the blame onto us. Don’t you have any morals?”
Gu Hongtao retorted, “You still have the cheek to talk to me about morals. You people weren’t invited to the banquet yesterday, but you barged in and even asked for Senior’s name.
“Senior was magnanimous and didn’t speak of it then. But, he was actually very upset. He didn’t even eat anything last night. It’s all because of you.”
Hu Guangyi was livid, “He didn’t eat because the dishes you served tasted awful, and you’re blaming us now. What a joke.”
“In any case, you have angered Senior and made him leave. You’ve brought great losses to the Flag Mountain Martial Arts Academy. You have to apologize to all of us.”
“You want us to apologize to you? Dream on!”
Hu Guangyi could not hold it in anymore.
He released his energy, and the people behind him did the same upon seeing him do so.
Gu Hongtao was not to be outdone. He also let his energy burst out.
The battle was about to begin.
At this moment, Qin Chuan arrived at the arena.
Under such circumstances, the presence of one person would not be noticed.
However, the moment Qin Chuan stepped into the martial arts arena, Gu Hongtao, Hu Guangyi, Hu Guangbo, and a few other Great Grandmasters felt their bodies tremble. Immediately after, they felt a strong sense of oppression that reached deep into their souls.
They were like robots without lubricant, their bodies creaking as they turned towards a corner of the arena.
The moment they saw Qin Chuan, their pupils dilated, and their faces contorted in shock.
“That… I must be dreaming!” Their faces turned pale as they broke out in cold sweat.
In their eyes, Qin Chuan’s aura was surging in the clouds, as if it was connected to the sky.
In the face of this aura, they felt like they were just a drop in the ocean, insignificant.
The aura of the senior from yesterday was nothing compared to this person.
What kind of existence was this!?
Qin Chuan’s arrival shocked them to their core.
However, he only affected the people who were in the Great Grandmaster realm. The others were not affected at all. They did not even realize that Qin Chuan had suddenly appeared.
When Qin Chuan saw the strange expressions of Gu Hongtao and the rest, he frowned and thought to himself,?It seems like they can tell that I’m a cultivator. What exactly are they seeing?
Gu Hongtao and the others retracted their energy.
The junior disciples were confused.
Are they not fighting anymore?
Soon, Gu Hongtao and the rest walked towards Qin Chuan.
The 12 Great Grandmasters arrived before him.
When everyone saw this, they finally noticed Qin Chuan.
“Who is this person?”
“When did he get here?”
“Also, why are all the elders being so respectful towards him?”
“Is he another expert senior?”
As Qin Chuan was wearing a mask, everyone was guessing his identity.
At this moment, all the 12 Great Grandmasters bowed to Qin Chuan.
“I am Gu Hongtao from the Flag Mountain Martial Arts Academy. Greetings Senior.”
“I am Gu Hongxiong from the Flag Mountain Martial Arts Academy. Greetings Senior.”
…
“I am Hu Guangyi from the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy. Greetings Senior.”
“I am Hu Guangbo from the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy. Greetings Senior.”
…
With this, everyone present burst into an uproar.
He was indeed an expert senior.
For the Great Grandmasters to address him as senior, his realm was definitely above theirs.
Because of this, everyone withdrew their energies and let go of their resentment for each other. They all bowed towards Qin Chuan.
He looked at the 12 Great Grandmasters before him. Then, Qin Chuan lowered his voice and asked, “How can you tell that I’m a senior?”
Gu Hongtao was the first to reply. “Senior, your aura is so powerful. If we can’t recognize that, we would have lived in vain.”
“Aura?” Qin Chuan frowned, and he instantly understood.
The so-called aura was actually invisible energy emitted by the body.
Human beings were not the only ones with auras. Everything in the world, whether they were living or not, possessed auras.
Generally speaking, one’s aura could not be seen or touched. Only some special instruments could detect it.
There were big and small auras. The more energy one had, the greater the aura and vice versa.
Cultivators had transcended mortals. Therefore, their auras were very powerful.
After cultivating, as one’s cultivation level increased, his aura would become stronger and stronger.
For example, Qin Chuan, who was in the second class of Golden Core, naturally had a much stronger aura compared to this world.
After thinking this through, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but laugh at himself. He didn’t even consider something as important as aura.
It was a good thing he had realized this early, or he would have been in trouble.
He immediately went to the Merchant Shop to exchange for a “Breath Holding Technique.”
After successfully learning it, he immediately used the technique.
The powerful aura around his body instantly disappeared without a trace.
After he did so, Gu Hongtao and the others felt their bodies lighten.
However, Qin Chuan had another question.
Usually, no one else feels any different, even without my aura. So why were these people different?
