Chapter 292: Chapter 279: First Strike, Shocks the World! (4k)
"Master of the Sky Lake Pavilion!"
"Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect!"
...
One after another, powerful figures from various sects arrived. These sect leaders had profound cultivation levels. With every breath they took, nature\'s spiritual energy surged and roiled around them. Among them were powerhouses on the level of Wu Yue and Sun Jian, who had reached the Great Accomplishment of the Unity Realm.
When Sun Jian arrived, he fiercely glared at Lu Changsheng.
Conveniently, at this meeting in Zhong Zhou, he could properly teach Lu Changsheng a harsh lesson.
If he desired, he could even cripple Lu Changsheng\'s cultivation, turning him into a useless person.
"How strange..."
Lu Changsheng\'s gaze wasn\'t on Sun Jian. Instead, he noticed the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect.
The aura of the other party was extremely strong. With just one glance at Lu Changsheng, it made his back break out in cold sweat.
Situ Kong said, "Changsheng, what\'s wrong?"
Lu Changsheng\'s expression was grave, "The Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect\'s strength might not be inferior to Sun Jian of the Thousand Swords Manor."
"Are you saying his realm has also reached the Great Accomplishment of the Unity Realm? To my knowledge, the Profound Heaven Sect is just an obscure sect in Dan State. They\'ve only had one person make it to the top sixty-four in previous meetings. They have even less presence than our Mount Shu. After all, Mount Shu once had its moment of glory.
Could it be that at this meeting in Zhong Zhou, the Profound Heaven Sect has produced a peerless genius? Indeed, the meeting is teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, a true gathering of talents."
Reminded by Lu Changsheng, Situ Kong also noticed the hint of vastness and profundity in the breath of the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect. It was indeed the aura of one who had reached the Great Accomplishment of the Unity Realm.
However, the aura of the individual was chilling, sending shivers down one\'s spine.
The meeting in Zhong Zhou was a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers lay. It was entirely possible that peerless powerhouses emerged from various domains.
"The Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect has arrived!"
"The Dragon Tiger Sect is the second-largest sect in Zhong Zhou, second only to the Star Pavilion!"
A terrifying aura accompanied a group of cultivators dressed in the same Daoist robes, prompting a wave of astonishment among the crowd.
The Dragon Tiger Sect, second only to the Star Pavilion, was one of the few sects that had never fallen from grace over millions of years.
"Sect Master Zhang Qinglong of the Dragon Tiger Sect, a peak powerhouse of the Unity Realm, is also one of the hot contenders for the championship of this meeting. The sect powerhouses of Zhong Zhou are numerous and extraordinary in their cultivation."
Lu Changsheng found that there were no fewer than ten practitioners in Zhong Zhou who had reached the Great Accomplishment of the Unity Realm, including the Supreme Elders of the Thousand Swords Manor and the Dragon Tiger Sect.
However, each sect could only send one representative to battle, so even the powerful sects like the Thousand Swords Manor and the Dragon Tiger Sect, each with more than one powerhouse at the Great Accomplishment of the Unity Realm, had to choose only the strongest to fight.
The number one person of each sect represented the mastery of all sorts of cultivation techniques of that sect and was a master of their generation.
The Young Sect Leader Zhang Sheng, who stood beside the Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect, glared viciously at Shen Xiaoyao, Lu Changsheng\'s disciple, and then followed the Sect Master Zhang Qinglong into the viewing platform.
Sects such as the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Thousand Swords Manor stood above other sects and occupied the upper seats of the viewing platform, just below the Star Pavilion.
"Xiaoyao, did you offend the Dragon Tiger Sect?"
Seeing the hostile gaze of the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect towards his fourth disciple, Lu Changsheng knew that there must have been a falling out between them.
Shen Xiaoyao replied, "Master, it was not I who caused trouble. This man grew jealous upon seeing me grow close to Tang Ling\'er. He kept looking for trouble, and he repeatedly spoke disrespectfully of Master. If I had not been concerned about causing you trouble at this meeting, I would have taught him a lesson long ago."
"No matter."
Lu Changsheng had not expected that on this trip to Zhong Zhou, before gaining any insights, they had already offended the second and third-ranked powerful sects of the Thousand Swords Manor and the Dragon Tiger Sect.
The master and disciple were both remembered with spite by the Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect, and for a woman at that – such attention was indeed unique.
However, his disciple truly was a Son of Fortune. A mortal from Heluo City, not only had he obtained a Pure Yang Body in the Immortal Ruins, but he was also involved with the daughter of the number one sect\'s Star Pavilion. Indeed, it was the treatment of a Son of the Plane.
So even in the presence of someone with the distinguished status of the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, he could only play a supporting role to the Son of Fortune.
"Master means?"
Shen Xiaoyao was surprised, sensing from his master\'s tone that he might cover for him even if he harmed the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
"Our Mount Shu doesn\'t provoke trouble lightly, but we won\'t let others bully us either. The next time he seeks trouble, if you believe you can defeat him, teach him a lesson. If you can\'t, focus on preserving your life."
Lu Changsheng had his own philosophy of mentoring disciples.
If you can win, don\'t give in. If you can\'t win, survive and grow. After all, with Lu Changsheng as a personal battery, few could surpass his disciple\'s growth rate.
"Disciple understands!"
Shen Xiaoyao was thrilled.
Having a reliable master to back you up is truly empowering!
What does it matter if it\'s the Dragon Tiger Sect? If there\'s trouble, Master will have his back!
"The Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion and the Elders have arrived!"
Finally, the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, who was presiding over the meeting, arrived.
Dressed in the Zodiac Star Dou Robe, with his hands folded behind his back, walking with the poise of a dragon and vigor of a tiger, his aura was terrifyingly immense, like a collapsing black hole.
Beside the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion was a lively-eyed, twin-tailed girl in an indigo dress.
Her bright gaze fell on Shen Xiaoyao at Lu Changsheng\'s side, her smile blossoming like a flower.
The gaze of the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion swept over the master and disciple from the Qingyun Peak of Mount Shu.
Seeing that Shen Xiaoyao might become his son-in-law, the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion inevitably paid him some attention.
