Chapter 423: The Eve of Becoming a Disciple
"In other words, even if I let you kidnap her, what would you dare to do to her?"
Looking at Ran Hai who was full of anger, Xie Jiang glanced at him and said, "Let's not talk about the one from Jueqing Peak whom you can't afford to offend. Now Chu Youhuang's cultivation has caught up with yours. It's hard to say who will win in your fight. Besides, the Demon Lord will need her special physique when he explores the depths of the wilderness in the future. Don't ruin the Demon Lord's plan because of your anger."
Sarcasm, threats, inducement...
With these three approaches, no matter how violent Ran Hai is, he has to suppress it. Everything is for the Demon Lord.
Lian Chi glanced at Xie Jiang and said calmly, "Given your friendship with Chu Youhuang, you should be very pleased to hear the news that her cultivation has improved."
"There is no conflict between her and me except that we have different philosophies..."
"If she stops the Demon Lord from transcending the tribulation and ascending, which side will you choose to stand on?"
Just as Xie Jiang opened his mouth, Lian Chi interrupted him. Xie Jiang said helplessly: "Family is her bottom line. If the Demon Lord does not touch it, there will naturally be no conflict. Otherwise, she will lose more than just the ninth-grade elixir."
The last time the Demon Lord used her parents' bodies to make an elixir, Chu Youhuang turned around and made the Demon Lord lose the ninth-grade elixir, forcing the Demon Lord to look for another opportunity.
"Based on her cultivation speed, I'm afraid she will ascend to the immortal realm earlier than the Demon Lord." Xie Jiang gave Lian Chi a look that showed that he understood. Lian Chi sighed and said, "It took her more than two years to go from foundation building to golden elixir. If I hadn't seen her growth with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a joke."
"Chu Youhuang has many secrets..." Xie Jiang hesitated and said, "She knows a lot about the Demon Realm, and is very sure that the Demon Lord will not succeed in overcoming the tribulation."
"Didn't you ask her the reason?" Lian Chi asked with interest.
"I asked..." Xie Jiang said nonchalantly, "She told me to think that she was a demon cultivator in her previous life."
"You believe that?" Ran Hai smiled disdainfully. Xie Jiang said disapprovingly, "Tell me how she knew your secret."
"I do believe it somewhat." Lian Chi said thoughtfully, "Maybe it's really some senior who took over another's body and was reborn, but who else in the demon world can know his secret except the Demon Lord and you and me? It can't be someone around you, Ran Hai, right?"
Ran Hai was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Only a Jindan stage demon cultivator can leave his soul after death, and I don't have a guard of this level who died around me."
"Why worry so much? Just let it go." Xie Jiang looked up at the sky: "Success or failure depends on God's will. How can she have the final say? She is not God."
"The way of heaven..."
Speaking of the Way of Heaven, Lian Chi looked up as if he had realized something.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the Three Peaks of Xuexuan and the ancient city of Guye were visible from afar.
On the Jueqing Peak, the fan in Youhuang's hand turned into thousands of fans, which attacked Jiuying like snowflakes.
The nine heads of Jiuying snorted at the same time and released their powerful pressure. The shadow of the fan was like an egg hitting a stone and instantly turned into nothingness. Only a beam of light from the fan bounced back, scaring Youhuang so much that he quickly dodged to the side, and the fan directly stuck into the stone wall.
Looking at the half of the fan left, You Huang patted his chest with lingering fear. The demon in the Spirit Transformation Stage was indeed very powerful.
He climbed up the stone wall, took a lot of effort to pull out the fan, and flew back to Yuque in disgrace. Before he even entered the bedroom, he heard Xue Zun's mocking voice: "With your little cultivation, you dare to challenge Jiuying in the Spiritualization Stage. You are overestimating yourself."
You Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "I am not challenging the Spiritualization Stage. I am doing this to help myself recognize the gap so that I can make a training plan and work hard to improve my cultivation."
"You should save your energy for the apprenticeship ceremony in three days."
Xue Zun sat on the terrace, looking in the direction of Guye Ancient City, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he heard something interesting.
"The apprenticeship ceremony is just a formality. It doesn't take much effort." You Huang turned around and continued to go back to the bedroom. Then he heard Xue Zun say leisurely: "Do you think the people from the seven sects, twelve schools and eight great families are just here to watch the ceremony?"
"if not?"
You Huang simply sat on the platform.
Xue Zun took a sip of tea and said, "They found the right time to challenge you."
"Among the people of the same age as me, there are a few who are at the Golden Core stage..."
"Anyone under a hundred years old is considered to be of the same generation as you." Xue Zun extinguished Youhuang's fantasy.
"Then among these seven sects, twelve schools and eight great families, how many people are in the Golden Core stage and how many are in the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years old? What are their specialties?"
Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. You Huang was humble for once. Xue Zun turned around and said calmly, "I am just reminding you to be careful at the apprenticeship banquet. And according to the Sect Master's wishes, I want you to take me as your master on the surface."
"I will follow the arrangements of my seniors and the headmaster in everything."
You Huang roughly guessed the intention. If he did not take Xue Zun as his master, he would be of the same generation as Xue Zun and the Sect Leader, and the person who challenged him would have to be a Demon Lord-level figure.
Xue Zun couldn't help but sigh that it was easy to talk to smart people, and then he heard You Huang say, "Senior, there are so many people coming to the apprenticeship banquet to watch the ceremony, should we host a banquet to entertain them? Can the junior eat meat?"
"Besides eating, can you think of anything else?" The smile on Xue Zun's face immediately disappeared, and he said coldly: "You can't eat on the day of the apprenticeship banquet, so as not to be laughed at."
"How can you have the energy to fight when you're hungry?" You Huang looked at Xue Zun with resentment, secretly complaining: "It won't hurt to be laughed at. I don't know which senior the Sword Sect sent this time. It would be great if he is someone I know. Maybe he can bring some spiritual eggs with him."
You can tell from her expression that she didn't listen. Xue Zun shook his head, but this is Chu Youhuang, not bound by red tape, living a frank life, laughing and scolding as he pleases.
In the next three days, Youhuang obediently did not challenge Jiuying again, and familiarized himself with the various skills and powers of the Jindan realm. He even tried to integrate the Seven-Step Sacrifice Sword into the fan moves to create a new set of moves. During this period, he also took time to practice the process of becoming a disciple.
When the day came, Xuexuan Sect opened its gates.
The earliest people from the eight great families came with one or two of their best disciples to watch the ceremony.
Next in line were the people from the Twelve Sects, half of whom were cultivators of immortality and half of whom were cultivators of demons. They were the elders with the highest reputation in the sect, and they came with their carefully selected disciples to participate.
Then came the people from the seven sects. The seven sects were closely related, so naturally they would not go out of their way to make things difficult for the new disciples at the apprenticeship banquet. Although those chosen to attend the ceremony were also elite disciples from the sect, it was all for the purpose of broadening their horizons.
When Wang Ci, Ye Qingqin and their daughter appeared together, the eldest brother and sister immediately walked down the steps to greet them.
After some polite greetings, Wang Qingci couldn't help but whispered, "Brother Bai Yu, Sister Kong Ning, I can go see Sister You Huang in advance. I have prepared a gift to give to her personally."
"You can give gifts, but..." Xuekong paused and said, "Xue Zun has instructed that you must not give Junior Sister Youhuang any food."
"Send food..." Wang Qingci was shocked, and immediately put on a smile and said, "How is that possible? If you want to send a gift, you should send a toy that my daughter likes."
