The battle at the Shavuo Pavilion made Ye Chu famous, and he leaped to become the number one person of the Blue Jade generation. This was hard for many disciples to accept, but when they saw the Blue Jade generation disciples looking like deflated eggplants, they finally believed it.
Therefore, whenever the numerous disciples occasionally saw Ye Chu, they looked at him with awe and utmost respect. This was especially true for Wang Feng. He had long been so shocked by this news that he was completely numb. Seeing Ye Chu again, he just felt that Ye Chu was a monster, otherwise how could he achieve this.
After Ye Chu’s battle, Wang Peng and the others thought Ye Chu would show off in front of everyone. However, the result was beyond their expectations. After that battle, Ye Chu actually returned to his cave dwelling, once again sitting on the bluestone every day, watching the clouds roll and unroll, and the starry sky.
…
Of course, the news that Ye Chu defeated Qingting spread throughout the Shaling Pavilion. Under the deliberate promotion of certain people, it finally reached the Purple Jade generation.
On a solitary peak in the northwest, a man in a red robe looked at Liuhuo. Although the man looked at Liuhuo calmly, Liuhuo trembled in front of him.
“You are saying that a newcomer broke the long established rules of the Shaling Pavilion and even defeated Qingting?” the man said faintly. His voice was not loud, but it carried infinite majesty.
“Yes! I hope senior brother will take action. The long established rules of the Shaling Pavilion cannot be ruined in his hands.” Liuhuo bowed and saluted, begging this person to take action.
If anyone had witnessed this scene at this moment, they would have been incredibly shocked. Because the person in front of him was none other than Hong Tianbao, a Purple Jade generation disciple behind Liuhuo.
There were not many Purple Jade generation disciples in the Shaling Pavilion, only a dozen or so in total, and every single one of them was a monstrous existence. They held immense power in the Shaling Pavilion and were absolute authorities.
Such figures generally did not appear in the line of sight of ordinary disciples. Yet at this moment, Liuhuo was begging for his intervention.
Liuhuo secretly looked at Hong Tianbao, wanting to see his attitude.
“Interesting!” Hong Tianbao raised the corners of his mouth slightly. “Qingting was expected to become a Purple Jade generation disciple in at most half a year. I did not expect him to be defeated. Could it be that this newcomer has the strength to fight a Purple Jade generation disciple?”
“That is not the case. It is just that he is somewhat strange and seems to be immune to the evil aura,” Liuhuo quickly replied.
“Oh?! That is indeed a bit rare!” Hong Tianbao smiled. “How many people in the Purple Jade generation know the news of Qingting’s defeat?”
Liuhuo shook his head and looked at the other peaks. “The senior brothers do not like to be disturbed, so I do not know how many people know. It is just…”
Hong Tianbao shook his head and looked at Liuhuo. “I know what you mean. The rules of the Shaling Pavilion must naturally be maintained. The newcomer must receive the punishment he deserves, and no one is an exception. I went through the same thing back then.”
“Senior brother… then…”
“Enough! You may leave. I know the proper limits of all things!” Hong Tianbao said faintly to Liuhuo.
“Yes!” Liuhuo bowed and retreated. He was extremely excited in his heart. Having received Hong Tianbao’s promise, he could not help but want to laugh out loud.
…
After Liuhuo left, the smile on Hong Tianbao’s face grew wider. “Interesting! I did not expect such a newcomer to arrive. It seems I need to talk to the other senior and junior brothers. After such a long period of dullness, things are finally getting interesting.”
After muttering this, Hong Tianbao instantly vanished from his spot and soon appeared at another peak. Before he even arrived, his voice rang out. “Haha, Tianbao is here to pay his respects to senior brother Zhang Zhengshi!”
“Oh! You are here too?” Hearing this, Hong Tianbao was slightly stunned, not knowing what “you are here too” meant. However, when he walked in, he saw two other people beside Zhang Zheng.
One of them was a man in a black robe with a strange mark on his forehead. He sat there without saying a word, yet he exuded an imposing aura.
Beside him was a woman. She had a slender figure and delicate features. Her body was graceful, and her clothes tightly wrapped around her curves. Just one glance at her was enough to make one’s blood boil.
Especially when meeting her gaze, one could feel a hint of charm. Her plump figure was truly captivating.
“Senior brother Zhang Wei and senior sister Xiang Ting are also here.” Hong Tianbao stared blankly at the two, with a hint of astonishment on his face. It was rare for Purple Jade generation disciples to gather together, and he did not expect to see these two today. Whether it was Zhang Wei or Xiang Ting, they were both terrifyingly powerful and rarely seen.
“Hehe, you are also here for the matter of Qingting, right?” Zhang Zheng smiled, looking at Hong Tianbao.
Hong Tianbao was slightly stunned, then looked at Xiang Ting. His gaze could not help but move away from her full chest as he asked in astonishment, “Are you two also here for that?”
“Qingting just left, and I invited junior sister Xiang Ting and junior brother Zhang Wei to come. From Qingting, I learned that this young man only knows one evil spirit technique, but he is immune to the evil aura. This is strange. Are there really cultivators who are immune to the evil aura? Most importantly, I heard that before Qingting fought Ye Chu, someone from the Pavilion Core came down in person to tell him to take good care of Ye Chu. The Pavilion Core is a lofty existence. Even people like us do not get their attention, yet I did not expect him to be able to make the Pavilion Core intervene. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that Qingting lost to him,” Zhang Zheng smiled.
Hong Tianbao was slightly stunned, then looked at Zhang Zheng and said, “Then what do the senior brothers mean?”
“The rules must definitely be maintained, but the question is how? A Blue Jade generation disciple has never been this powerful.” Xiang Ting, who had not spoken until now, giggled. Her laughter was melodious, and her posture was gorgeous. “Since such an interesting figure has appeared, we must naturally take a good look and see what qualifications he has to make the Pavilion Core care about him.”
“Junior sister Xiang Ting is right. I am also very interested in him,” Zhang Zheng said. “What do you think…”
Hong Tianbao quickly said, “Since all the senior brothers are interested, then let me go and see how formidable he is.”
“…”
Ye Chu did not know that he had finally attracted the attention of the highest level disciples of the Shaling Pavilion. At this moment, his mind merged into his own sea of qi. By now, the Cold Fire Emperor had already corrupted more than half of his primordial spirit. Feeling Ye Chu’s mind enter the sea of qi, the Cold Fire Emperor laughed. “Ye Chu, it will not be long before your primordial spirit belongs completely to me. You will gradually lose your mind and become a living dead controlled by me.”
Ye Chu naturally felt that the green lotus had been mostly eroded by him. Listening to the clamour of the Cold Fire Emperor, Ye Chu said faintly, “Are you so sure you can succeed?”
“There are no exceptions! You have already been corrupted so much by me that it is beyond saving. My primordial spirit is far stronger than yours. You are nothing but an ant.” The Cold Fire Emperor laughed heartily, full of smugness.
