All the inner sect disciples were enraged by Qin Chen’s words.
What did he mean by that? Was he saying that they were not geniuses, but mediocre?
An inner sect disciple of the Sixiang realm stepped forward and looked at Qin Chen coldly, “Old handyman, what do you mean?”
“Literally, you’re all a bunch of trash.”
“Old handyman, we’re all geniuses carefully selected by the Taiyi Holy Land. Most of the inner sect disciples here are only in their early twenties, but they’ve already reached the Sancai realm or even the Sixiang realm. Look at you, you’re already over a hundred years old, and you’re even from the Great Qin Dynasty’s imperial clan, yet you’re only in the Sancai realm. If I were you, I would have jumped off a cliff and killed myself,” The Sixiang realm disciple mocked.
“Senior Brother Yang is right. An old handyman who has cultivated for hundreds of years has finally become an inner sect disciple. Yet, to think he doesn’t cherish all of this and even dares to call us trash. Why don’t you look at yourself? What right do you have to call us trash?”
“Old handyman, Senior Brother Yang is right. If we were you and only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for a hundred years, we would have jumped off the cliff to commit suicide for being such trash!:
“Get out of here! The inner sect doesn’t welcome you!”
“You’re not qualified to stay in the inner sect. Get out!”
“Get out!”
“Get out!”
“Get out!”
…
At the end of his sentence, all the inner sect disciples looked at Qin Chen angrily and shouted in unison, “Get out!”
Even the elder who was stationed here couldn’t stand it anymore. He shook his head and said in his heart, “This 17th Prince is too much! He’s only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for over a hundred years! It’s not easy for him to get such a great opportunity to cultivate in the inner sect, but to think he has offended all the inner sect disciples at once! Isn’t he just courting death?”
“Forget it, forget it. He has served the Taiyi Holy Land for many years. I can’t just watch this old handyman get injured by inner sect disciples and be thrown out,” The inner sect’s elder was ready to step forward and stop this farce.
With his status as an inner sect elder, these inner sect disciples would have to respect his words. He only hoped that this old handyman would not be so arrogant in the future.
“Alright, alright…” The inner sect elder opened his mouth and was prepared to stop them.
At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly laughed. He looked at the inner sect disciples and sneered, “That’s right. Compared to me, you are indeed a bunch of trash!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at Qin Chen.
In contrast to the shocked eyes of the inner sect elders, all the inner sect disciples were extremely angry. They looked as if they wanted to swallow Qin Chen whole. They stood up one by one, and even some inner sect disciples who had remained neutral were enraged.
He was just an old handyman disciple who had only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for hundreds of years. Why couldn’t he just cultivate quietly? Why did he have to come out and indiscriminately evaluated all of them as trash? Why did he have to belittle them as if they were worthless?
No one could tolerate such ridicule!
“Old man, you’re finished!”
“Useless Prince, you’re courting death!”
“Old handyman, you’ve offended all the inner sect disciples. Don’t even think about walking out of here in one piece!”
“You’re just a piece of trash from the imperial clan who’s been expelled from the Great Qin Dynasty a long time ago. Do you really think that you’re still the mighty Prince from back then?”
“Today, you will have to pay the price you deserve!”
All the inner sect disciples were extremely furious. They all strode towards Qin Chen, their auras rippling. Some of them even twisted their joints and made cracking sounds as they stared at Qin Chen with anger.
The few inner sect elders had the same cold expression.
It should be known that these inner sect disciples were carefully selected from all aspects by the Taiyi Holy Land and had all great talents for cultivation.
With the current status of the Taiyi Holy Land in Canglan Continent and the prestige of the Elder King as the human race’s Sage King, any disciple who chose to join the Taiyi Holy Land was by no means leftovers that had been selected by the other major Holy Lands and families.
On the contrary, the Taiyi Holy Land now had first pick for most of the talented geniuses who came for the Elder King.
Now that a hundred-year-old handyman had willfully evaluated the talented disciples as trash, it would be irrealistic if he didn’t get a lesson.
Now that the old handyman was so arrogant, the elders couldn’t continue to interfere as well. Since the former looked down on everyone, he should be taught a lesson.
Seeing a group of Sancai and Sixiang realm inner sect disciples, as well as a few true geniuses who had reached the Wuxing realm and were already regarded as candidates for the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, surrounding him, Qin Chen revealed a cold smile.
Good, very good. They were impulsive and courageous like youths should be. It was just a pity that they had poor conduct.
At this moment, a disciple of the Sancai realm stepped forward and stared at Qin Chen coldly, “Old handyman, we inner sect disciples won’t bully you with numbers. Since you arrogantly think that we are all trash, today, I, Ye Feng, will be the first to challenge you. I’ll let you see the power of a true inner sect disciple.”
The other inner sect disciples looked coldly as Ye Feng went forward. As inner sect disciples, they naturally had their pride and would not bully others with numbers.
Qin Chen looked at Ye Feng and shook his head, “I’ve said it before, none of you are capable. You should all come at me together.”
“You’re still so arrogant even now. I’d like to see what capital you have to be arrogant,” Ye Feng shouted, “Old handyman, watch carefully!”
“Whoosh!” He suddenly rushed forward with extreme speed, leaving an afterimage. He rushed towards Qin Chen like lightning and struck out a simple and direct palm blade at the latter.
This made the surrounding inner sect disciples nod their heads secretly, “Although Ye Feng is only in the Sancai realm, he has already cultivated this black-grade movement supernormal knowledge, Gale Steps, to the intermediate stage. It’s not bad. Even a normal Sancai realm disciple would find it hard to dodge the attack, let alone this old handyman.”
“That’s right. Since Ye Feng used Gale Steps right from the start, he clearly wants to gain the upper hand and defeat this old handyman, making him… F*ck!”
Just as the inner sect disciples were evaluating Ye Feng, at the next moment, their eyes opened wide as they exclaimed in disbelief.
As Ye Feng appeared in front of Qin Chen as fast as the wind, his palm blade slashed toward the latter’s chest, being fast, accurate, and ruthless. It could be said that he had fully displayed his strength.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Qin Chen dodged Ye Feng’s attack by simply shifting his body to the side.
How was that possible?
This was the question that appeared in the minds of all the inner sect disciples and even the few inner sect elders.
Ye Feng was shocked and incredulous. However, only a calm voice resounded in his ears: “It’s just black-level supernormal knowledge, and you’ve only cultivated it to the intermediate stage. Your movement technique is lacking. It looks fast, accurate, and fierce, but it’s actually erratic. Without the will of the gale, it’s full of flaws. This can’t do.”
As soon as the voice finished speaking, a terrifying force sent him flying. It was Qin Chen’s palm blade.
Ye Feng was like a kite with a broken string as his entire body crashed into a cliff. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
