Just You Wait, This Time We're Going All In on the Trash Archetype

Although Deacon Yang is only a deacon, Deacon Yang is definitely ranked at the top among all the deacons in the entire Vast Heaven Sect.

After all, being in charge of such an important matter as the first round of disciple assessments speaks volumes about Deacon Yang's status.

It is no exaggeration to say that even many ordinary elders in the sect would not dare to underestimate Deacon Yang.

After all, Deacon Yang was someone personally trained by the sect leader and the Grand Elder.

The reason why Deacon Yang is a deacon instead of an elder is not because Deacon Yang lacks ability, but simply because he was born into an outer sect disciple and his talent was somewhat lacking, so he could not reach the level of Martial Emperor and therefore could not become an elder.

However, Deacon Yang still holds a very high position in the Vast Heaven Sect.

And outside, it goes without saying.

It's no exaggeration to say that Deacon Yang can decide the fate of many people.

How many people come to participate in the Vast Heaven Sect's assessment each year?

If you can gain the favor of Deacon Yang, your Future path will definitely be much easier, and you will even have a great chance to enter the Vast Heaven Sect.

Therefore, during the first round of disciple assessments each year, the first thing all the major Lineage in the world who want to send their disciples to the Vast Heaven Sect do is to pay their respects to Steward Deacon Yang.

Although their own disciples are excellent, if they could get Deacon Yang, they would have a much better chance of entering the Vast Heaven Sect, even if they only made it to the second round.

Therefore, Deacon Yang outside is no longer glamorous.

If your Lineage isn't extremely prestigious, you wouldn't even be qualified to pay your respects to Deacon Yang.

For these young geniuses, Deacon Yang was someone they could only dream of associating with.

Today, Deacon Yang was meeting with the heads of several prominent Lineage who had come from afar to send their disciples to the Vast Heaven Sect, but suddenly someone brought news that Zhang Dongkui had been murdered at the Green Hairpin Tower.

Deacon Yang couldn't be bothered with a little flea like Zhang Dongkui.

After all, even our Vast Heaven Sect can't handle every dirty business, can we?

There are countless fights and killings in this world every day; even the Vast Heaven Sect can't possibly manage them all.

Therefore, as long as someone like Zhang Dongkui doesn't provoke anyone related to the Vast Heaven Sect, Deacon Yang won't bother with it.

Hearing that Zhang Dongkui had been killed, Deacon Yang was still somewhat surprised.

Didn't I hear the other day that Zhang Dongkui had reached the Seventh Rank?

Although this guy isn't very capable, he's quite lucky... Of course, the main reason is that the Xinghe's Millennial Grand Sacrifice revived the Spiritual Qi of the world.

But Zhang Dongkui, Seventh Rank expert, was killed? Has some powerful figure come to our Ice City?

But just as Deacon Yang was wondering who had arrived, he received news that a young man had swept Zhang Dongkui and all his men to the ground with a flick of his wrist. Zhang Dongkui, a Seventh Rank Martial Saint, didn't even have time to resist.

Upon hearing this, Deacon Yang could no longer sit still. Deacon Yang was not like those young people; he knew that killing a Seventh Rank Martial Saint or Eighth Rank Martial Venerable would be a piece of cake.

But to be able to decapitate Seventh Rank Martial Saint with a mere wave of the hand, even an ordinary Martial Emperor would find it difficult.

So which Martial Emperor suddenly arrived in Ice City?

Deacon Yang quickly led his men over to investigate. After all, Martial Emperor would usually at least greet the Vast Heaven Sect upon arrival, but the other party hadn't said anything. What were they doing here? What was their purpose?

Just as Deacon Yang and his men arrived outside the Green Hairpin Tower, they witnessed the head flying from outside the city into the city...

Deacon Yang was completely dumbfounded...

I've heard of ancient sword immortals who could chase souls from a thousand miles away with a single sword strike, but who the hell has ever seen someone make a head fly to them from a thousand miles away?

What kind of absurd tactic is this? Isn't it way too outrageous?

Deacon Yang was completely bewildered. Could it be that a powerful figure from the Heavenly Dao Ranking had come to Ice City?

But the moment Deacon Yang stepped into Green Hairpin Tower, he saw Deacon Yang Chu Xinghe sitting in the center of the hall surrounded by people, and Zhang Dongkui's headless corpse lying around him, still bleeding.

Deacon Yang recognized Chu Xinghe immediately.

What? You're saying Chu Xinghe used Fox-Pattern Mask, changing both his appearance and aura? How did Deacon Yang recognize him?

If Deacon Yang doesn't recognize Xinghe, how could he not recognize Ma Liang?

Look, Ma Liang is standing respectfully beside Xinghe.

Who was Ma Liang?

Is Ma Liang Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, just a joke?

There aren't many people in this world who can sit there peacefully while Ma Liang respectfully serves them tea and water!

At least Deacon Yang felt he absolutely didn't deserve it!

Don't let Deacon Yang's glamorous public image fool you, and don't underestimate Ma Liang just because he's only an outer disciple. Everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect knows that Ma Liang is Chu Xinghe's most trusted confidant.

Deacon Yang heard that even the Grand Elder privately expressed that Ma Liang could assist Xinghe in the future.

Doesn't Deacon Yang understand what this means?

Even if Ma Liang doesn't fare well in the future... he'll at least be a head elder, right? Ma Liang's even publicly stated that he's determined to become the Grand Elder!

Should he expect Ma Liang to serve him tea and water? Deacon Yang felt that if he forced Ma Liang to do so, he would definitely be relegated to some godforsaken place as a deacon the day Ma Liang ascended to the position of Grand Elder.

Therefore, in today's world, to have Ma Liang serve you tea and water, you must at least be a senior elder of a sect to be qualified.

Besides, who in the sect didn't know that Ma Liang had followed Chu Xinghe in the south?

Deacon Yang never expected that Xinghe would suddenly come to the north again.

However, now Deacon Yang naturally understood why Zhang Dongkui's head had suddenly fallen to the ground, and also why the head of the Thousand-Faced Fox had flown in from outside the city.

Because... there's also An Lan...

Although An Lan can't be seen here, An Lan must be hiding next to Xinghe. So it was An Lan who killed him just now, and it was An Lan who went to retrieve the head.

Since people can't see the An Lan, they can only see heads flying in.

The moment Deacon Yang appeared, the entire Green Hairpin Tower erupted in excitement.

Countless young people were eager to get close to Deacon Yang.

This is someone that most people don't even get to see on a regular basis.

But Deacon Yang completely ignored anyone trying to get close to him and walked straight up to Chu Xinghe.

"So it's Xinghe, you've arrived... Xinghe, really, you didn't even tell me, Old Yang, before you got to Ice City, so Old Yang could have arranged for someone to welcome you..."

As he spoke, Deacon Yang called out to the stewards who had followed him, "Quickly, quickly, why aren't you paying your respects to your Senior Brother Xinghe!"

The group of managers' expressions changed drastically upon hearing Deacon Yang's words.

In an instant, all the managers bowed and saluted Chu Xinghe.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xinghe!"

As the managers paid their respects, the entire Green Hairpin Tower fell into a minute-long silence.

At this moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at Chu Xinghe, who was sitting there eating melon.

This... is the legendary Chu Xinghe?

But that's not right... We've seen Chu Xinghe on the Haotian Mirror, he doesn't look like this?

Amidst the bewildered gazes of countless people, Chu Xinghe slowly removed his Fox-Pattern Mask.

There's no need to hide my identity now.

Xinghe greets Deacon Yang.

"Xinghe... why didn't you just go to our Vast Heaven Sect branch? You could have let me know so I could have arranged for someone to greet you."

Everyone saw that Deacon Yang, who always looked down on others, was incredibly humble at this moment.

But no one thought there was anything wrong with Deacon Yang's humility, because that was Chu Xinghe!

Although nominally Chu Xinghe is just a disciple and Deacon Yang is a deacon, is Chu Xinghe truly an ordinary disciple?

At the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, Chu Xinghe's words, "This prosperous age is as you wished," awakened countless sacred souls and caused the Spiritual Qi of the world to revive. But this was not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing is that when faced with the Power of Inheritance, Chu Xinghe gave it to the sect Gu Mingchao without hesitation. Gu Mingchao also used the Power of Inheritance to become the number one Martial God in the world for thousands of years.

What was Chu Xinghe's status in the Vast Heaven Sect before?

After this incident, does it matter whether Chu Xinghe is a disciple or not?

Didn't you see? During Gu Mingchao's seclusion, Chu Xinghe even went on a tour of the sect on behalf of the sect leader. Are you telling me this is something a disciple should be doing?

Now everyone is saying that Chu Xinghe's problem is no longer just about being the young sect leader.

After all, even young sect leaders can't inherit the sect. Chu Xinghe's Chu Xinghe Martial Emperor level isn't high enough to make him the sect leader, otherwise he could ask Gu Mingchao, "Would you be willing to become a Supreme Elder?"

Gu Mingchao will announce that Chu Xinghe will take over the Vast Heaven Sect that very day!

So no matter how prestigious he is outside, would Deacon Yang dare to be arrogant in front of Chu Xinghe? What? Isn't his position as deacon satisfying? Why does he have to go to some godforsaken place?

The Green Hairpin Tower was in complete chaos, with countless people staring wide-eyed at Chu Xinghe.

This is the legendary Chu Xinghe... We actually saw Chu Xinghe up close!

"Chu Xinghe... I am from the Hexi Bai Lineage. My mother's family is right next to Kaoshan Village... I have exceptional alchemy skills. Please give me a chance to join the Vast Heaven Sect..."

"Chu Xinghe... Although I'm not very talented... I work very hard. If I can join the Vast Heaven Sect, I'm willing to be your slave!"

"Chu Xinghe... please give those of us whose talent doesn't even reach nine points a chance... We may not be talented, but we've worked very hard!"

"Chu Xinghe... I want to have your child. I can have a son... My first two children were sons..."

Good heavens, Green Hairpin Tower is in an uproar right now! People are begging Chu Xinghe a chance... some are trying to claim kinship with him... and some are even declaring they can have sons...

What kind of nonsense is this?

However, Chu Xinghe agreed with one of the people who said it.

Give a chance to someone whose talent doesn't even reach nine out of ten?

Rest assured, young hero, this is exactly why I, Chu Xinghe, came to Ice City. What nonsense about nine points of talent? That's all in the past... You wait and see, this time we're going for the underdog strategy!

The defeat at Haotian City last time was a disgrace to me, Chu Xinghe. This time, I'll wreak havoc from the very first round.

The first round was designed to send a bunch of useless people into the second round, so there would be room for selection!

I'll have a bunch of losers to choose from, then you tell me how I can lose!

I, Chu Xinghe, will not rest until I have made the "trash-to-fool" faction completely clear!
