Chapter 135 - 134: We pay our respects to the Eldest Senior Brother!

Chapter 135: Chapter 134: We pay our respects to the Eldest Senior Brother!"We have no objections!" All disciples within the Lie Tian Daochang respectfully said. Including Huang Nian, Liu Tianhao, and Wen Lin. The deaths of Wei Yungang and Yang Jinchun had served as a wake-up call for them. They now understood the extent of Ye Xuan’s power. They were even more aware that within the Emperor Immortal Sect, they absolutely could not act recklessly, or else they would be the ones to suffer! "Everyone, continue your cultivation diligently. In five days, there will be an exchange conference with the Lie Tian Academy." "This time, we must not lose face for our Sect again." Mu Baicheng saw that nobody dared to act out of line, and with a slight tremor of the hand holding his spear, directly pulverized Wei Yungang’s body into dust. "This time, you did very well," Mu Baicheng said, his gaze resting on Ye Xuan at the center of Lie Tian Daochang, his cloudy old eyes conveying a trace of serenity. "You did pretty well yourself," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile. At these words, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the many disciples in the Daochang. This guy was way too arrogant. The Supreme Elder was praising you, so why were you the one saying such a thing? A slight stiffening of Mu Baicheng’s smile was followed by a shake of his head. "You..." With that, Mu Baicheng’s figure flashed and disappeared from sight. As they say, his coming and going were as swift as the wind. Quick to arrive, and quick to depart. Arriving with an Instant Kill on Wei Yungang, and leaving after intimidating the entire crowd. "It seems that the Supreme Elder wasn’t angry..." Seeing that Mu Baicheng had left directly, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Ye Xuan was indeed too arrogant, daring to show such disrespect to the Supreme Elder. But little did they know, for Ye Xuan, being able to say that sentence to Mu Baicheng was already a great sign of respect. Had it been someone else, Ye Xuan probably wouldn’t have bothered to acknowledge them. "Now, does anybody have an objection to my position as Chief Disciple?" Ye Xuan’s gaze was calm as he spoke indifferently. This statement brought everyone back to the moment, their expressions incredibly complex. Nobody could have imagined that things would turn out this way. This competition was originally seen as a struggle for the new position of Chief Disciple, and no one had any hope for Ye Xuan. However, under such a premise, Ye Xuan had used reality to slap everyone in the face. In terms of instructing his junior disciples, Ye Xuan won decisively and overwhelmingly. When it came to his own strength, Ye Xuan had first defeated Zhang Dahai and Xu Meng, forcing Huang Nian, Wen Lin, and Liu Tianhao to bow their heads in concession, not daring to fight anymore. Then, he had a life and death battle with Yang Jinchun, the strongest of the six princes, battling him one-on-one. After a round of fighting, he disabled his arm with a punch, and then took his life with a reverse stroke. With such an invincible stance, who could compare? Now who would dare to have an issue with Ye Xuan? All the disciples in the Daochang almost bowed their heads. Even Huang Nian, Wen Lin, and Liu Tianhao bowed their heads and kept silent. "We pay our respects to the Elder Disciple!" At this moment, led by Tan Qingshan, Xiao Zhan, Zhu Xiaofei, and others, ten people paid a half-teacher’s salute to Ye Xuan, their voices ringing out. "We pay our respects to the Elder Disciple!" The disciples from Xuanyuan Peak blushed as they were the first to respond. "We pay our respects to the Elder Disciple!" Soon after, the disciples from the other peak veins also began to pay their respects one after another. After a short while, every disciple that had come to the Daochang was respectfully paying their respects. Seeing this, Huang Nian, Liu Tianhao, and Wen Lin felt an unpleasant taste in their mouths, but as losers of the competition, they had no right to demand anything. They could only bow their heads and say: "We pay our respects to the Elder Disciple." At this point, all the disciples bowed their heads. Seeing this, Jiang Jing, Qiu Wenhan, and others all showed smiles. Ye Xuan had finally received recognition from everyone. From now on, nobody dared to question Ye Xuan’s position as Chief Disciple anymore! They all felt like they were dreaming. They had all been prepared for defeat in today’s battle, not expecting an incredible turnabout that would eliminate all the opponents, a truly unexpected outcome. But Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei had somewhat unpleasant expressions on their faces. The deaths of Wei Yungang and Yang Jinchun, although unrelated to them, yet the principle of a shared fate like that of lips and teeth they still understood; the final message from Mu Baicheng was a clear threat to them. This time, their plans could be said to have entirely failed. They were relatively fortunate, at least they didn’t lose their lives. Wei Yungang was miserable; the nominal Chief Tributor, he only sat in that position for less than a month before dying. Yang Jinchun, who was originally the most likely to become the Chief Disciple, was also killed by Ye Xuan. Nie Shan’s situation was also quite tragic, with his disciples Zhang Dahai and Xu Meng both beaten half to death. Fortunately, he held back, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been Wei Yungang who died, but him. No matter what, there was only one winner this time, and that was Ye Xuan! And they, all losers, could only depart in quiet dejection. "Today’s battle ends here. All disciples, return and diligently pursue your cultivation, fully prepare for the grand exchange with Lie Tian Academy in five days." Jiang Jing stood up, announcing the end of today’s competition. Hearing this, the disciples gradually left. Today’s battle had given them too much shock. The rise of Xuanyuan Peak, the invincibility of Ye Xuan! This was something nobody had anticipated. Xuansheng Peak and Emperor Peak were clearly the strongest among the nine peaks, and disciples chosen by people like Yang Jinchun were from Xuansheng Peak and Emperor Peak, yet the one who stole the show turned out to be from Xuanyuan Peak. This time, Ye Xuan not only established his own reputation but also vindicated the honor of Xuanyuan Peak. As people left, they occasionally looked back at the big brother in the center of Lie Tian Dao field, filled with immense respect. Ye Xuan from beginning to end, maintained an air of calm, as if everything was within expectations. That sense of confident composure was admirable. Whoosh— A gentle breeze blew past, Zhou Youwei’s robes fluttering as she landed beside Ye Xuan, lifting Ye Xuan’s right hand while a handkerchief appeared in her other hand, gently wiping away the blood on Ye Xuan’s right hand. "You should be stronger than me now," Zhou Youwei said while wiping. Ye Xuan raised his left hand, flicked his finger gently against Zhou Youwei’s forehead, leaving a red mark, and said irritably, "I will never be stronger than you, because you are my wife." Zhou Youwei winced in pain, somewhat resentful, but upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, her cheeks flushed, her noble head bowed, and she swept the stray hair from her forehead behind her ear. Looking at Zhou Youwei’s revealed snow-white neck, Ye Xuan felt a restless stirring. "Let’s go, home!" Ye Xuan scooped up Zhou Youwei in his arms and dashed towards Emperor Peak. Seeing this scene, the disciples who hadn’t left were dumbfounded. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What were they doing? "Big brother and the Holy Daughter really are a match made in heaven, an envious pair!" Zhu Xiaofei beat his chest and stomped his feet, enviously exclaiming. "Didn’t you say before that big brother wasn’t worthy of the Holy Daughter?" Xiao Zhan said teasingly. "Nonsense, when did I say that? Don’t slander me!" Zhu Xiaofei retorted as if he had trodden on a sore spot, agitatedly arguing. "Slander? Everyone heard that," Xiao Zhan glanced at Zhu Xiaofei with a mocking smile, "Right, Brother Tan?" Hearing this, Tan Qingshan looked away and smirked, "Indeed he did." "Tan Qingshan, you also dare to defame me!" Zhu Xiaofei, red-faced and neck swollen, shouted, "I want to challenge you to a duel!" "Duel, my foot. Go back and cultivate. Didn’t you hear what the Supreme Elder said? In five days, we’ll have the grand exchange with Lie Tian Academy, and we can’t disgrace our Sect." Tan Qingshan said without patience. "Oh right, then let’s hurry back to Qi Bamboo Forest to cultivate!" Zhu Xiaofei calmed down. Thus, the group returned to Xuanyuan Peak’s Qi Bamboo Forest. The Sect’s internal struggle ended. Next, they had to prepare for the grand exchange with Lie Tian Academy. For this upcoming battle, many disciples were gearing up with zeal. After all, in the previous exchanges, many disciples had suffered defeats, losing face. This time, with the restart of the grand exchange between Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Academy, it was their chance to regain their honor—they didn’t want to miss it. Only five days remained until the grand exchange. Over at Lie Tian Academy, they were likely sharpening their blades as well. Speaking of Ye Xuan, he originally planned to take Zhou Youwei home for... further activities, but upon returning to Emperor Peak, he found Zhou Zihuang waiting for him. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This father-in-law of his, what terrible timing for an appearance. Zhou Zihuang, with an all-smiling face, looked at Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan, and all too inappropriately asked, "What were you two planning to do?"
