Just as Ye Xiao was deep in thought, the sound of noisy footsteps suddenly echoed. The three people that Ye Xiao had let go returned with a gloomy-faced man.
"Honoured Deacon, it's him. As soon as we entered the medicinal garden, he immediately beat us up. Please help us." The three cried out to the gloomy man.
That gloomy-faced man was none other than Guan Cheng who had ordered the three of them to come over and teach Ye Xiao a lesson.
Someone secretly made a deal with him. In order to curry favour with that person, he patted his chest and promised to immediately deliver the good news.
In the end, before the good news even arrived, there was a piece of the sad news that made his expression extremely ugly. However, when he saw the three of them being beaten up, a plan formed in his mind immediately and he angrily brought the three of them to the medicine garden.
Guan Cheng pointed at Ye Xiao and shouted sternly, "You little bastard, if you disobey management and beat others up, you will disregard the rules of the sect. Why aren't you kneeling and admitting your wrongs?"
Ye Xiao's face turned cold and killing intent filled her eyes. His ice-cold voice sounded as if it had come from the depths of hell, "Do you want to die?"
From the moment he was attacked by the Eye of the Heavenly Dao and his Small World was destroyed, he swore in his heart that he will never let anyone bully him. Be it if it was someone far stronger than him, he will still fight and not cower.
Seeing Ye Xiao glaring at him, a cold smile surfaced on Guan Cheng's lips as he shouted, "Insolent! You dare to talk back. If you don't kneel down, I have the authority to kill you on the spot!"
Looking at the furious Guan Cheng, a hint of coldness surfaced in Ye Xiao's eyes. This group of people was simply going too far.
Regardless of whether it was Gong Tian, Elder Yu, or the deacon in front of him, they had all tried to kill him time and time again.
"Guan Cheng, right? Since you want to die, then come." Ye Xiao coldly spat out a few words. The people behind Guan Cheng were all shocked when they heard him. Ye Xiao actually challenged a deacon. He was a strong expert at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. To challenge such an existence, he must be crazy!
Disdain flashed past Guan Cheng's eyes. Although being challenged by Ye Xiao was out of his expectation, he still coldly snorted, "You can think about it again."
Dragon Immortal Sect has a rule that states that if a subordinate refused to submit to the rules of a superior, the subordinate could issue a challenge and if the subordinate won, he could replace the superior.
This rule was a bit strange but it also reflects the concept of strong being respected. If you have the ability, then use it. If you don't, then endure it.
Since he had already made this decision, the anger in Ye Xiao's heart had lessened greatly. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Isn't this what you want the most?"
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't waste any more words. I will immediately report it to the elders. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, let's meet up on the Life and Death Arena."
Inside the Dragon Immortal Sect was the place where the core disciples cultivated. It was in a mountain with extremely dense immortal energy.
In a secret room, Gong Tian was respectfully sitting on the ground. Opposite to him was Elder Yu who did not have a single hair growing on his head.
"Your father helped me back then. Don't worry, I have already asked someone to do the task you entrusted me with." Elder Yu said.
Gong Tian hurriedly replied, "If that's the case then l will have to trouble Elder Yu."
"Coincidentally, I belong to the vice Master Tang Kong's faction. After you go back, try your best to rope in as many core disciples to our side as possible so that we won't be bullied by Shang Xianyue's faction in the future." Elder Yu said.
"So that's how it is. No wonder that Shang Xianyue was so rude to you, Elder Yu." Gong Tian did not forget to fan the flames when he heard that he and Elder Yu belong to a different faction than Shang Xianyue's.
"Humph, before, our side was weaker than theirs because Vice Master Tang Kong's strength was weaker than Shang Xianyue's. But now, Vice Master Tang Kong is about to come out from closed-door cultivation. When that time comes, we will be able to hold our heads up high." Elder Yu said with pride on his face.
"Mn, this way this disciple can be at ease. If there's nothing else, this disciple will take his leave. And yes, the matter of Ye Xiao will be left to the elder." Gong Tian stood up and said.
"En, you can go first. That Ye Xiao is a little strange. Well, since he has already become our enemy, we should get rid of him as soon as possible."
Just as he said that, the jade plate at Elder Yu's waist slightly trembled and emitted a faint glow.
Elder Yu was startled first, then he looked at the jade plate and said, "How interesting, there is actually an outer disciple who wants to challenge a deacon."
However, his face suddenly filled with anger as he coldly said, "This Guan Cheng is really not good at doing things. I let him secretly teach Ye Xiao a lesson and kill him. This bastard, he actually messed things up!"
.....
There was a special place inside the Dragon Immortal Sect. This was the place where Dragon Immortal Sect's disciples resolved the conflicts.
Normally, this place remains completely silent but today, this place was bustling with noise and excitement. Tens of thousands of disciples had surrounded this place.
"Haha, have you heard? There is an outer court disciple who challenged the deacon and it is actually a life and death battle. Moreover, I heard that he has only joined the sect for less than half a month. This batch of disciples seems to be quite arrogant."
"Who cares about all of this thing. As long as there is something interesting to see, I am fine with everything."
"That Guan Cheng is also not a good person. In the past, when we were in the outer sect, that bastard bullied me many times. But when I entered the inner sect, I was unable to go to the outer sect. I never had the chance to take revenge and now that I heard Guan Cheng's name, I immediately came here to watch this battle."
The disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect were still talking when suddenly, the noisy crowd quietened down. They saw Shang Xianyue leading a group of disciples into the arena from afar and surprisingly, the Eldest Miss was among them.
"Look, all four disciples of the Vice Master Shang Xianyue are here!" Someone said in a low voice.
"Isn't Vice Master Shang Xianyue only had three disciples?"
"Idiot, the news you have is outdated. Do you see that woman with the bamboo hat and black veil, she is the newly accepted disciple of Vice Master Shang Xianyue. Her name... Yeah, her name is Yue Ying."
Shang Xianyue arrived at the spectator stand at the side of the stage. Those disciples who had long taken good seats quickly stepped aside.
"Junior Sister Yue Ying, this friend of yours is really a restless fellow!" A slender and graceful woman with a mole on her chin said.
"Senior Sister, I understand Ye Xiao's temperament very well. He is not a rash person. There must be a reason behind his action." Yue Ying replied.
This senior sister of hers was Shang Xianyue's first disciple, the one with the highest
cultivation among the four. The other two disciples had the cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. They stood behind Shang Xianyue without saying a word.
At this moment, Shang Xianyue suddenly spoke up, "Yue'er, do you think that Ye Xiao can win?"
Yue Ying shook her head and said, "Ye Xiao has lost all of his cultivation. Logically speaking, against an Immortal Lord Realm martial artist, there should not be any hope for him to win. But as long as I know, with Ye Xiao's personality, he would not take his life as a joke."
Shang Xianyue nodded her head and said, "Ye Xiao... This time he is being treated as a pawn to attack us. That Tang Kong is becoming more and more overbearing as well as useless. He can't fight me head-on so he used such a despicable method to attack us."
