Chapter 108 - 107

Chapter 108: 107Thump thump thump———— Dull thuds reverberated. Everywhere were wails and screams of agony. After half an incense stick burned. Ye Xuan stood alone, hands behind his back, while the other disciples lay scattered on the ground, their faces twisted in pain. Apart from Tan Qingshan, a total of three hundred and sixty-two Divine Gate Realm disciples were defeated. Unlike the previous defeats, this time, when three hundred and sixty-two Divine Gate Realm disciples joined forces, they still suffered a crushing defeat, not even one of them managed to touch Ye Xuan, all were sent flying. With this, all Divine Gate Realm disciples of Xuanyuan Peak had fallen to Ye Xuan. What an astonishing achievement this was. Just from this, one could make out a clear fact. Ye Xuan was absolutely the number one person in the Divine Gate Realm within the entire Emperor Immortal Sect! Although Xuanyuan Peak is known as the weakest among the nine peaks of the Emperor Immortal Sect, one should know that this time the battle was fought by all Divine Gate Realm disciples of Xuanyuan Peak together. This level of strength, even the strongest Divine Gate Realm disciples from other powerful peaks of the Emperor Immortal Sect would definitely not be able to withstand it. But not only did Ye Xuan withstand it, he defeated more than three hundred Divine Gate Realm disciples. And Ye Xuan himself was virtually unscathed. Such a gap was nothing short of terrifying! With such power, he absolutely deserved to be the first person in the Divine Gate Realm! "The scariest part is that he’s only at the Fourth Level of the Divine Gate..." Qi Yunpei secretly gasped in amazement. At the Fourth Level of the Divine Gate Realm, to be called the first person in the Divine Gate Realm, what would it mean if he stepped into the peak of the Divine Gate Realm? Qi Yunpei couldn’t even imagine it. In fact, Qi Yunpei didn’t know that Ye Xuan had not used his full strength, he hadn’t even opened the Divine Gate, nor had he utilized the Spirit of the Void God Realm. If he had used the Spirit of the Void God Realm, not to mention the Divine Gate Realm, even those in the Daoist Platform and Inscription Realms might not be able to withstand Ye Xuan’s assault. "Ah, too weak, not a single one worth fighting." Ye Xuan sighed dejectedly, speaking with evident disappointment. This infuriated the disciples who had been taken down by Ye Xuan, finding this guy utterly despicable. Unfortunately, they were no match for him, otherwise they would have surely pummeled this guy into searching for his teeth on the ground! "Now, if I say you are ’mud that can’t be plastered on the wall,’ do you have any objections?" Ye Xuan looked around slowly and asked. "I object!" As Ye Xuan’s voice faded, Zhu Xiaofei spoke up again, staring intently at Ye Xuan. Although somewhat apprehensive, he still said, "You are indeed strong, but if being unable to beat you means being ’mud that can’t be plastered on the wall,’ then it’s fair to say that all in the Divine Gate Realm of the entire Emperor Immortal Sect are the same!" Ye Xuan glanced sideways at Zhu Xiaofei and said with a smile, "Your words are completely correct. In my view, most of the disciples from the nine peaks of the entire Emperor Immortal Sect are indeed ’mud that can’t be plastered on the wall." "However, you’re relatively fortunate, having met me." "What do you mean by that?" Zhu Xiaofei was somewhat puzzled. Was he being insulted? Having been beaten to the point of not knowing which way was up and still be called fortunate? Ye Xuan revealed a brilliant smile and spoke slowly, "Because no one else would bother with other mud, but at least you have me, such a great person, to lift you up." The faces of everyone present turned somewhat unsightly. Ye Xuan’s constant reference to ’mud that can’t be plastered on the wall’ really irked them, but they were helpless against it; who could contend with him? In this world, strength is revered above all! "Holy Daughter, what on earth does Ye Xuan plan to do?" Qi Yunpei moved next to Zhou Youwei and asked quietly. To tell the truth, he was genuinely perplexed about Ye Xuan’s intentions. Zhou Youwei’s voice was melodious and pleasant, like the tinkling of spring water, "Just keep watching and you’ll understand." "All right then, " Qi Yunpei said helplessly. Since the Holy Daughter wouldn’t say, he had no other choice but to keep watching. "This time, I will choose ten among you to be personally taught by me, then I will take you to exchange blows with Divine Gate Realm disciples of other major peaks of the Emperor Immortal Sect." Ye Xuan said with a smile, "Additionally, I would like to point out that your victory or defeat will concern my position as the Chief Senior Disciple. If you lose to the Divine Gate Realm disciples of other peaks, then my position as the Chief Senior Disciple will come to an end." "Huh?!" Ye Xuan’s words instantly left many disciples present baffled. Did it actually involve so much?! "It concerns the position of your Chief Disciple?" Qi Yunpei was also suddenly startled, somewhat in disbelief. If it was really as Ye Xuan had said, then why would he come to Xuanyuan Peak to select disciples? Isn’t this openly admitting defeat? Who doesn’t know that Xuanyuan Peak is the weakest of the nine major peaks? To select disciples from Xuanyuan Peak, isn’t that tantamount to admitting defeat? It wasn’t just Qi Yunpei; all disciples of the Divine Gate Realm from Xuanyuan Peak felt the same way. They were utterly puzzled by Ye Xuan’s decision. "Hehe, you’re looking for us, so your position as Chief Disciple is definitely not secure anymore," Zhu Xiaofei said with a smirk, revealing a hint of cunning. Many people showed malicious grins as well. Previously, Ye Xuan showed them nothing but contempt, and now he was saying these words—as if handing them an opportunity for revenge. Ye Xuan seemed as if he hadn’t heard Zhu Xiaofei’s words, speaking to himself, "This is a rare opportunity, whether or not you can vindicate Xuanyuan Peak’s name is up to you. As for what you plan to do, I don’t care." "You’re saying all this because you care about the position of Chief Disciple, and you want us to fight for you!" Zhu Xiaofei retorted coldly. "Exactly, you just beat us up so badly, do you really think we’d help you?" Other disciples chimed in as well. Yet many more disciples fell into silence. Receiving guidance from Ye Xuan was a condition that, if offered before, indeed no one would have cared about. But after exchanging blows with Ye Xuan, they realized his strength was beyond their imagination. If they could really learn something from him, it wouldn’t be a loss... "I’ve said it, whatever you do is up to you. Now, I will begin selecting people," Ye Xuan said cheerfully. He had a tight grasp of these fellows’ psychological states. In this battle, Ye Xuan knew many among them actually desired to earn glory for Xuanyuan Peak. However, their strength did not allow it, leaving them willing but powerless. Over time, they’d become numbed to it. But if they were truly given a glimmer of hope, many of them would certainly be willing to seize it. With that, it was enough! "You’re called Zhu Xiaofei, right? You’re the first," Ye Xuan pointed at Zhu Xiaofei first. "Me?!" Zhu Xiaofei was instantly flabbergasted. He was openly antagonizing Ye Xuan, yet Ye Xuan chose him? "Zhu Xiaofei, go for it, you must make this guy regret choosing you!" A disciple nearby cheered him on. Zhu Xiaofei couldn’t help but reveal a sly smile, "Just so you know, if you pick me, I’m definitely going to mess with you!" Ye Xuan looked at Zhu Xiaofei, showing a playful smile, but didn’t pay attention to him. "Tan Qingshan." Ye Xuan continued to pick people. Upon hearing his own name, Tan Qingshan slightly trembled, feeling apprehensive, he bowed to Ye Xuan, "Senior Brother, I’m afraid I’ll be a burden to you. You should choose someone else." "It’s fine, I believe in you," Ye Xuan smiled faintly. Following that, Ye Xuan successively picked eight more people. A total of ten. Zhu Xiaofei was the weakest, only at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Gate Realm, while the strongest was Tan Qingshan, at the Eighth Layer. The other eight were all at the Seventh Layer. This lineup, within Xuanyuan Peak, was not bad. But if compared with the other nine major peaks, it probably wouldn’t stand a chance... For among the Divine Gate Realm disciples of the other nine peaks, there were quite a few at the Ninth Layer and the Peak of the Divine Gate Realm. If there were actually a confrontation, it was likely that Ye Xuan’s lineup would be finished in one blow.

Then, I’ll take you to familiarize with your opponents," Ye Xuan said after choosing his people, waving his hand. The crowd then dispersed one after another. Those chosen by Ye Xuan left with heavy thoughts. After everyone had gone, Qi Yunpei couldn’t help but speak, "Are you really going to choose them, future son-in-law?" Though he didn’t know the specifics, knowing that it involved Ye Xuan’s position as Chief Disciple, he still couldn’t help but inquire. He had already witnessed Ye Xuan’s strength and felt that Ye Xuan taking the position of Chief Disciple was fitting. He believed that, sooner or later, Ye Xuan would become one of the most outstanding disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect, perhaps even comparable to Zhou Youwei! "Hall Master Qi, the way you talk, it almost seems like you don’t trust your own peak’s disciples," Ye Xuan said to Qi Yunpei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
