Chapter 2667 - 545-3
Zhu Yan and Li Ke are of the same generation. Although Li Ke is not his biological mother, when he sees Li Ke, he must call her ’mother,’ so he naturally addresses her as ’Aunt Master.’
His voice was not loud, yet it spread clearly through the air.
Liu Hongyi’s face immediately showed a look of panic. Zhu Yan? The only person here named Zhu Yan must be that entity from the Hundred Peaks Sect at the Immortality Regainment Realm.
This person, he belongs to the Hundred Peaks Sect, and he is also Venerable Zhu Yan’s junior nephew. That generation position is not low!
Zhu Yan had noticed his junior brother’s presence when recruiting Li Wan’er but hadn’t spoken up. Now, hearing his junior brother’s words, he immediately picked up the Earth Observing Mirror and glanced at it. He grabbed Li Wan’er and flew to Cao Zhonghua’s side, casting a playful glance at Cao Zhonghua.
When she brought Li Wan’er back just now, she noticed Li Wan’er continually looking back, and she appeared to have something she wanted to say but kept silent.
Li Wan’er must have been looking at Cao Zhonghua, and it was likely she wanted to say some good words to help get Cao Zhonghua into the Hundred Peaks Sect.
The son of the Peak Master indeed has charm; it hasn’t been long, and he’s already captured the heart of such a talented beauty. Moreover, Li Wan’er has good talent and is determined to join their Vermilion Bird Peak, and she liked this young girl, so she naturally brought her over.
Though curious about what Cao Zhonghua was doing with the Earth Observing Mirror, she handed it to Cao Zhonghua without hesitation.
Seeing the other party grabbing the Earth Observing Mirror, Liu Hongyi suddenly felt a chill, and he panicked. Why would the other party take the Earth Observing Mirror? Have they discovered something? But his methods should be undetectable unless the person is at the True Immortal Realm; even if they’re at the Immortality Regainment Realm, they shouldn’t be able to find out.
Is the other party going to re-test Liu Kui?
If re-tested, Liu Kui would be completely exposed, and everything would be ruined. He can’t let the other party re-test!
In panic, Liu Hongyi revealed a distinct expression of dissatisfaction on his face, glaring angrily at Venerable Zhu Yan, and said discontentedly, "Is this how you Hundred Peaks Sect people do things?"
"Naturally." Venerable Zhu Yan nodded heavily.
"Then what do you mean by this?" Liu Hongyi pointed at Cao Zhonghua, angrily shouting, "Him hiding among those who still need testing, I won’t say much about that, but why is he suddenly grabbing the Earth Observing Mirror? What’s he planning? Is he planning to re-test all those we’ve already tested?
Does your Hundred Peaks Sect truly look down on our Fu Dong Sect, thinking we’re incapable of correctly assessing a mortal’s talent?"
Cao Zhonghua chuckled lightly and shook his head, pointing at Liu Kui, saying, "It’s not about re-testing everyone you tested before; I only need to test him alone, and that’s enough."
Listening to their conversation, Li Wan’er’s beautiful eyes were consistently fixed on Cao Zhonghua, her gaze filled with surprise. This person, is he an Immortal?
Moreover, he belongs to the Hundred Peaks Sect just like her!
She suddenly understood many things. No wonder this person wasn’t concerned at all when faced with Liu Kui’s threats earlier; he turns out to be an Immortal.
Remembering Liu Kui threatening this handsome person earlier, she couldn’t help but laugh. Liu Kui probably never imagined he was threatening an Immortal, let alone one from the Hundred Peaks Sect. Looking at things, his status isn’t low, and his cultivation base doesn’t seem weak.
Despite appearing soft and gentle, she wasn’t foolish. She could tell that the Venerable Zhu Yan who recruited her held a very high status, at least among the cultivators in Yi River City. She hadn’t heard of other cultivators being addressed with such reverence.
And this guy, although he called Venerable Zhu Yan ’Aunt Master,’ his tone was filled with familiarity and affection, lacking the usual reverence or fear a person would show toward their elder.
What’s more, while other cultivators directly flew over to recruit disciples, this guy didn’t join the Hundred Peaks Sect’s group but rather flew directly among the crowd. Such a unique individual can’t be underestimated.
Liu Kui and his Ancestral Elder’s plan probably will fail.
Upon hearing the other party say it’s only about testing Liu Kui, Liu Hongyi’s eyes unavoidably showed a flicker of panic. This person must have found out; otherwise, why would he test only Liu Kui?
Now isn’t the time to investigate how the person found out; the priority is to stop him.
His expression intentionally displayed anger, and he loudly said, "Retesting one person is no different from retesting everyone. Isn’t that looking down on our Fu Dong Sect?
I admit that the Hundred Peaks Sect is strong, but in the Eastern Province, the Hundred Peaks Sect isn’t even the strongest Great Teaching! We respect you because of your Sect Hierarch, but it doesn’t mean our Fu Dong Sect is afraid of you, that we must obey you in everything!
If you behave like this, what will the cultivators of other Great Teachings think? Suspecting even a mortal’s Immortal Cultivation talent? Is there anything your Hundred Peaks Sect can’t meddle in?"
To stop the other party now, the only way is to exaggerate the issue, involving people from other sects, forcing everyone to pressure the Hundred Peaks Sect to back off.
