What Kind of Strange Ritual Is This?

Thanks to the Grand Elder's ingenious arrangement of the teleportation array, Mu Bai and the others were a full day late in finding the location of Central Continent City.

When Chu Xinghe saw Mu Bai leading his determined junior brothers to Central Continent City, his eyes welled up with tears!

Although we arrived a little late, it's good that we got there safely.

After all, this is the first test the Grand Elder has given you!

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Mu Bai and the many Vast Heaven Sect nodded in agreement.

See... we were absolutely right. The Grand Elder had indeed already discussed it with Senior Brother Xinghe.

You think the Grand Elder made a teleportation error, right?

Actually, the Grand Elder had already told Senior Brother Xinghe that he would test us, and we successfully completed the Grand Elder's first test!

Within the Vast Heaven Sect, the Grand Elder and the heads of each palace had been waiting for news of Mu Bai and the others.

The way each of the chief elders looked at the Grand Elder carried a hint of disrespect.

Just as the many chief elders were pondering whether to ask the Grand Elder what exactly had happened, news of Mu Bai and the others' safe arrival in Central Continent City reached Vast Heaven Sect.

Along with Xinghe's explanation came as well.

So it turns out that all of this was arranged by Xinghe. He and the Grand Elder had agreed beforehand to give these children a sudden accident and then see how they would handle it.

The reason the teleportation deviated from its original location was definitely not because there was anything wrong with the Grand Elder's teleportation array; it was simply because the Grand Elder and Xinghe had planned it out as the first test for these children.

In an instant, the gazes of the many chief elders towards the Grand Elder returned to one of respect.

As expected of the Grand Elder... From the moment the teleportation array malfunctioned until now, the Grand Elder has remained completely silent... The words "unfathomable" are practically written all over his face.

So it turns out the Grand Elder wanted to give these children a test.

Even we were kept in the dark.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If he knew, he would inevitably be exposed, and then the surprise for these children wouldn't be so unexpected, right?

The Grand Elder is testing the children's resolve!

The Grand Elder remained silent as he looked at the message sent from Central Continent City...

Xinghe, only you truly understand my deepest feelings!

Even Sect Gu Mingchao was alarmed by this teleportation array incident, but since it involved the Grand Elder, the Sect Master couldn't interfere.

When the news reached Sect Gu Mingchao, he was quite embarrassed upon seeing Xinghe's explanation from Central Province.

When I heard that the teleportation array had malfunctioned, I even wondered if the Grand Elder had made a mistake.

That shouldn't be the case. The Grand Elder's cultivation is so fierce, how could a small teleportation array malfunction?

But then again, the Grand Elder attained enlightenment through medicine, so it's not entirely impossible that the teleportation array might occasionally malfunction.

But now that the Big White, Gu Mingchao realizes that he had been blinded by illusions...

Even if the Grand Elder attained enlightenment through medicine, how could he not handle a simple teleportation array?

So it was all planned with Xinghe.

In Central Continent City, after Mu Bai and the others paid their respects to Senior Brother Xinghe, Chu Xinghe arranged for all his junior brothers to stay in the Central Province Annex of the Vast Heaven Sect.

I had originally planned to arrange a proper welcome banquet for these junior disciples, since they had just undergone a "test"!

But upon asking, it turned out the kitchen had exploded?

What the heck? The kitchen exploded?!

When Chu Xinghe saw Ouyang Ming slurping down cold noodles on the stove in the back kitchen, he realized that the Ouyang Lineage was still around...

Alright, since there are members of the Ouyang Lineage here, let's just cancel the banquet.

After all, Chu Xinghe didn't want to follow the example of Hundred Refinements Valley and treat his junior brothers to a grand feast.

I originally planned to find a decent restaurant in Central Continent City to host a banquet for my junior brothers, but after asking around, I found out there wasn't a single decent restaurant left in Central Continent City.

On the very first day the Ouyang Lineage entered Central Continent City, the kitchen of the Vast Heaven Sect's separate residence was in an uproar.

Having not eaten her fill at all, Ouyang Ling cursed at the kitchen for a long time before embarking on a bloodbath in Central Continent City.

In just two days, Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Lineage family searched every high-end restaurant in Central Continent City, poaching any chefs they found satisfactory to work for her family at high prices.

Finding a top-tier chef in Central Continent City these days is harder than finding a top-tier Martial Venerable...

All the restaurants in Central Continent City are now completely uniform, all specializing in home-style staple foods...

So Chu Xinghe canceled the banquet altogether.

What kind of banquet is this? Did my junior brothers come here for a banquet? They came here to tell the whole world that Fengdu City is terrifying; they're even killing their own people indiscriminately. You think you can go in? How many pairs of pants do you have to pee on?

After a night's rest, Chu Xinghe led Mu Bai and the others to the Fengdu City early the next morning.

However, Fengdu City is not as deserted as it used to be today.

News of the arrival of the Vast Heaven Sect had already spread throughout Central Continent City, and all forces rushed to Fengdu City, eager to see what the Vast Heaven Sect was up to.

After all, the price of 100 yuan per person is so outrageous that it has already drawn criticism from many people.

If this matter had nothing to do with Chu Xinghe, they would have already started a frenzy of cursing.

So everyone wanted to see what benefits Fengdu City could bring with such an exorbitant price offered by Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe's decision to send one hundred disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect into Fengdu City was undoubtedly intended to prove that it was worth one hundred and one people!

Chu Xinghe smiled without saying a word!

You're all so superficial! Am I trying to prove that Fengdu City is worth 111 people?

I'm going to tell you all the facts: 110 people is a complete scam, anyone who goes there will suffer a stroke!

Just wait and see. Once our disciples emerge, you'll see just how much of a rip-off Fengdu City really is.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, everything is ready!" Ma Liang stood at the entrance of Fengdu City, giving Senior Brother Xinghe a look that said there was absolutely no problem.

"Full power?"

"Full power!"

Ma Liang held the Fengdu Token and nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

No! We can't easily trust Ma Liang, that traitor. He has too many past offenses. What if he automatically conjures up some strange ideas again? With so many people watching, what if he messes up the performance?

After much deliberation, Chu Xinghe decided to personally enter Fengdu City to give the vengeful ghosts some instructions!

"You all wait here, I'll go in and give some instructions to the vengeful ghosts inside." Without saying more, Chu Xinghe entered Fengdu City directly after uttering those words.

Ma Liang was stunned, and looked at the Fengdu Token great alarm.

It has to be Senior Brother Xinghe! This is Fengdu City, after all. To be honest, I've gotten to know Fengdu City very well these past few days.

Without the Fengdu Token, Ma Liang wouldn't dare stay in Fengdu City for even a second.

But look at Senior Brother Xinghe, he didn't Fengdu Token at all, he just walked in like that.

But Ma Liang felt there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, because who was Senior Brother Xinghe? He was the one who had previously wreaked havoc in Fengdu City. Even today, in Fengdu City, vengeful ghosts tremble at the mere mention of Chu Xinghe's name.

Only Senior Brother Xinghe could so brutally ravage Fengdu City.

Chu Xinghe, holding the Evil Repeller Sword, entered Fengdu City.

The moment the vengeful spirits saw the Evil Repeller light, they scattered and fled for their lives.

However, this time Chu Xinghe acted extremely quickly. With the Evil Repeller- Repelling Technique, all the evil spirits were easily subdued, leaving them no chance to escape.

Soon, Chu Xinghe, with the help of the Evil Repeller divine power, gathered all the leaders of the evil spirits in the center of Fengdu City.

"Please don't be intimidated, everyone. Let me just say a few words."

Looking at the group of trembling ghost leaders, Chu Xinghe comforted Gui Xin.

"You should already know Ma Liang's orders, so I won't waste any more words. I have only one request for you all: if even one of my junior brothers walks out of Fengdu City with their pants dry today, then I will come to chat with you all every day with the Evil Repeller- Repelling Elixir!"

The group of vengeful ghosts trembled at the mention of the word "Evil Repeller"!

Their little heads were nodding like chickens pecking at rice, even more enthusiastically than Ma Liang.

Excellent! Using the Evil Repeller to instruct the evil spirits yourself is far more effective than Fengdu Token.

After giving the vengeful spirits a final instruction to ensure the safety of his junior brothers while unleashing their full power, Chu Xinghe walked out of Fengdu City with a satisfied smile. Outside the city, Mu Bai and the others were all teary-eyed and adorable.

Everyone had heard that Fengdu City was dangerous, but with the Fengdu Token, nothing bad would happen. However, Senior Brother Xinghe is still being cautious.

Worried that something might happen to us, he specifically ran in to give the evil spirit some instructions; he really put everyone's safety first.

Senior Brother Xinghe truly always puts his junior brothers first!

We certainly cannot let Senior Brother Xinghe down! As the first group to enter Senior Brother Xinghe's version of Fengdu City, we must open up a whole new world!

Standing at the gate of Fengdu City, Chu Xinghe didn't care whether Mu Bai and the others were moved or not. With a wave of his hand, people from the Vast Heaven Sect immediately pushed over two large carts.

What's going on?

Mu Bai and the others looked towards the location of the large cart, and saw that it was piled high with... pants?

"Senior Brother Xinghe... this?" Mu Bai and the others were completely baffled.

When Ma Liang saw the two large carts of trousers, he exclaimed, "Senior Brother Xinghe is so thoughtful!"

He quickly advised Mu Bai and the others to take two more, as they would need them inside.

"Ah?"

Although Mu Bai and the others were completely bewildered, they each took two pairs of pants prepared by Senior Brother Xinghe, and then stepped into Fengdu City with confused expressions.

Not only were Mu Bai and his group confused about why they needed two pairs of pants to enter Fengdu City, but countless other sects watching were also baffled.

Is this some kind of strange ritual?

Before everyone could figure out what this strange ritual of taking pants was all about, a series of ghostly wails echoed from inside Fengdu City!

Hearing the howls inside, Chu Xinghe was overjoyed!

Mu Bai, now you know how much I cared, right? Putting a few extra pairs of pants inside is definitely more useful than carrying some divine weapon...
