“Hehe, Elder Feng, the Sect Leader has already agreed to this, so there’s no need for you to worry,” the elder said with a laugh, still beaming as he shook a token in his hand.
Feng Qingyang’s face went through several changes, recognizing that the other party had come prepared, having already obtained consent from the Sect Leader. His role was merely a formality.
Watching Li Xiaobai’s delighted expression below, he became so frustrated he could barely contain himself. Damn it, others are trying to set you up, and you’re even helping them count the money; just how did you cultivate such a brain?
But now that the Sect Leader had spoken, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
“Alright, Ye Liangchen, Honorary Elder of the Holy Demon Sect, from this moment on, you are the master of a peak. The mountain top for miscellaneous disciples remains unnamed, you may choose a name yourself. Work hard, I have high hopes for you,” Elder Yue tossed out a token and then, with a swirl of his robes, he disappeared from the spot.
Li Xiaobai looked at the token in his hand—it was bare on one side, while the other side was engraved with the words ‘Ye Liangchen,’ apparently waiting to display the name of the mountain peak until it was confirmed.
This Elder Yue seemed nice enough, if a bit too enthusiastic, always giving off a sense of urgency. Overall, he seemed much better than Old Man Feng.
The surrounding disciples all looked at Li Xiaobai with envious eyes. As a disciple who had just joined the sect, he had become an elder in just a few days; the contrast was too hurtful.
One second ago, they were calling him ‘Brother Ye,’ and the next second they had to change to calling him ‘Elder Ye.’
They were all disciples brought in for additional instruction, so why was the gap between them so huge?
Feng Qingyang impatiently dispersed the disciples who had gathered to watch the excitement and landed beside Li Xiaobai.
“Kid, tell me the truth, have you offended anyone recently?”
Li Xiaobai blustered: “Liangchen offends people every moment of every day.”
Feng Qingyang was speechless: “Who have you offended within the Holy Demon Sect? Tell me honestly, whether it’s an Inner Sect Disciple or a True Disciple. Just so you know, that old man Yue had no good intentions just now. Giving you the mountain peak is just to bind you with the miscellaneous disciples and take the opportunity to get rid of you.”
Li Xiaobai’s forehead furrowed—he had indeed offended a True Disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple.
A Senior Brother Yue whom he had never met before, and an Inner Sect Disciple named Xu Kun. It seemed that Elder Yue intended to stand up for one of them.
“After reflecting for a moment, I have behaved very well recently, made quite a few friends, and have no enemies. Elder, rest assured, I will definitely build the strongest mountain peak in the Northern Region!”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, joking. These enemies were a precious source of Attribute Points for him. Although the points they offered were somewhat disappointing, even the smallest ant is still meat—he could not let them go.
Feng Qingyang looked at Li Xiaobai for a moment, then sighed and handed over a jade necklace: “Well, if you want to handle it yourself, I won’t stop you. If you’re in danger, crush this, and I will immediately come to your aid.”
Li Xiaobai examined it for a moment, then put it on: “Thank you, Elder Feng!”
“Mhm, I must be going now.”
Feng Qingyang turned around and vanished instantly from the spot; he needed to see the Sect Leader about the incidents occurring in the sect these past few days, since he was struggling to keep up with the Sect Leader’s train of thought.
Li Xiaobai casually fiddled with the jade pendant on his chest; Old Man Feng was kind, but this thing was of little use to him.
In the Divine Beast Mountain Range, he had held his own; if he encountered an attack that even he couldn’t handle, dragging the old man into it would be like serving him up on a platter.
If he could summon an existence like the straw-cloaked man, that would be valuable.
“Junior Brother, the first place in the competition calls for a small barbecue, let’s go!”
“You’re the master of a peak now, Senior Brother truly envies you. No more talk, from now on we brothers will rule the mountain as kings, and together we’ll climb up that damn ranking list!”
“That’s right, together we will become the most talented figures on the entire Mainland!”
“Junior Brother, remember to set up a bathhouse; a little barbecue doesn’t suit Huazi, it’s more comfortable to soak and eat barbecue.”
Li Xiaobai: “…”
…
At the same time, inside a certain cave dwelling.
Qin Lan’s face twisted in madness, “Young Master Xu, I will remember today’s events, and once I return to the Xingtian Sect, I will recount everything that happened here in detail!”
“Immortal Qin, now that your strength is reduced to a mere tenth of what it was, do you really think Xu will let you go back?”
Xu Kun sneered peculiarly as he scooped up Qin Lan in his arms and headed deeper into the cave.
“You…”
Several hours later, Xu Kun’s face was the picture of contentment. Previously, this woman had been too proud, looking down on everyone with haughty eyes, but today he had finally had his fill of pleasure.
No matter how goddess-like, without cultivation level, she was nothing, nothing but an old shoe to be tossed about by others.
As for the Xingtian Sect, indeed it was a Great Sect, but what of it? The Holy Demon Sect was far away in the Northern Region. A woman had died; they’d never trace it back to him.
He casually summoned Wang Ruoxian and Xia Jian.
“You two, tell me again, is Ye Liangchen really the cultivator who obstructed that respectable person that day?”
“Absolutely certain, we recognize that mount. It was because Ye Liangchen was identified by Protector Liu that day, who then crushed his opponent with his mount—it must be Zhang Rui without a doubt!” Wang Ruoxian was confident.
“Elder Yuan Fang just sent a message, he also believes that person is indeed the same one from that day, and that the guy used a fake name before.”
“A fake name? Could it be that his name is not Zhang Rui?” Xia Jian was surprised.
“Exactly, news from Tianwu Sect indicates that Zhang Rui is a True Disciple of Tianwu Sect, and not the same person as the Zhang Rui from that day. After checking the participants in Divine Beast Mountain Range, it seems the person’s real name should be Li Xiaobai.”
Xu Kun chuckled coldly. That guy had the audacity to offend that respectable person, but luckily, he was very flamboyant and was discovered by Outer Sect’s Elder Yuan Fang, and the information was already reported.
He believed that it wouldn’t be long before someone from above would be sent to deal with this matter.
“Li Xiaobai.” The two repeated the name in silence, “So what do we need to do now?”
“Xia Jian, go report the current situation to Senior Brother Yue. Elder Yuan Fang was in a hurry and Senior Brother Yue may not yet know about this,” Xu Kun instructed.
“Yes!”
Xu Kun thought to himself with a sneer. The account for injuring his brother would soon be settled; having offended that respectable person, this guy couldn’t escape death.
As Xia Jian turned to leave, Wang Ruoxian was left alone, suddenly feeling a chill over his body, his face turning pale.
“As for you, well, I wasn’t fully satisfied just now. You will finish what Qin Lan didn’t.”
Xu Kun let out a strange chuckle as he pulled Wang Ruoxian toward the depths of the cave.
…
Elsewhere.
On the mountain peak of the Sect Leader.
Feng Qingyang was angrily losing his patience with Sect Leader Ou Yezi, while several old men were sitting around.
“Sect Leader brother, have you become senile? Ye Liangchen is a genius of our Northern Region; how could we let that old fart Yue Buqun kill him!”
“Brother Feng, after so many years, you still have such a hot temper. This is why you could never become the Sect Leader,” Ou Yezi remarked indifferently.
“What use have I for being the Sect Leader? Don’t change the subject. You must give me an explanation today, or else I shall not leave!”
