The Deeper You Think, The More Terrifying It Becomes

Jiang Ping stood with his hands folded back, looking relaxed and at ease.

This trial doesn't conflict with his interests, so it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later.

An inner disciple tried to challenge him by relying on his usual prestige, but he didn't care at all and didn't even urge him.

The atmosphere remained tense for a while before Ye Xingchen realized that his actions would not cause any loss to the Guest Elder. On the contrary, they might not gain much advantage if they arrived late.

With this in mind, this young prodigy immediately gave the order, commanding everyone to set off.

Xu Meng breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Ye Xingchen would really have a relapse and start arguing about meaningless things.

However, during the journey, Ye Xingchen suddenly spoke again:

"I apologize to everyone, I'm late because Senior Sister Fang summoned me."

"To be summoned by that senior sister is a testament to Brother Ye's talent; you will True Disciple have a place among the future Qingling."

Many people were eager to flatter him.

Xu Meng's eyes were deep. He knew that a genius who could become Upper True Disciple was definitely discerning. Ye Xingchen's ability to gain Senior Sister Fang's appreciation meant that he was very likely to break into the ranks of True Disciple disciples in the future.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen displayed his genius and said boldly:

My goal is to Upper True Disciple.

This is a kind of self-confidence, and it is also the source of his prowess as a genius. Among his peers in the contemporary era, there are few who can compare with him.

Xu Meng glanced at Ye Xingchen, seemingly lost in thought.

This prodigy's future is sure to be bright.

However... given this person's character, he usually acts superior and rarely interacts with "bad students" like them, let alone apologize in person.

Thinking of this, Xu Meng suddenly looked at the Guest Elder leading the way.

Ye Xingchen seemed to still be bothered by the small matter from earlier. On the surface, he was apologizing to them, but in reality, it was a threatening signal.

Clearly, if Jiang Pingping doesn't back down to this prodigy now, she might face a minor setback in the future.

"The Sword of Ten Thousand Laws..."

Xu Meng murmured to himself, based on what he had seen and heard, those who followed the path of Ten Thousand Laws almost never had a good outcome in the future.

Comparing the two, Ye Xingchen will most likely surpass the former in the future.

"Speaking of which..."

Suddenly, Jiang Pingping, the Guest Elder in front, spoke up.

This Peak Dao Seed asked everyone:

"For you, this trial is a rare opportunity, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Xu Meng nodded and said, "This is indeed a rare opportunity. If all goes well, we should earn several times more contribution points than we did last time Demon Purge."

"Indeed, now that this matter is over, I should be able to stop doing missions for a long time and level up rapidly."

Another inner disciple also spoke truthfully.

Although they are in the inner sect, compared to the True Disciple, they are still seedlings that need to be nurtured. However, unlike the few carefree geniuses, many inner sect disciples still need to go out and do missions.

Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow and said, "As far as I know, even a True Disciple must obey the sect's orders before venturing out."

"Yes, some tasks are mandatory and unavoidable for anyone."

Xu Meng nodded.

Even the most exceptional talents cannot remain in the Qingling Palace like flowers in a greenhouse forever; they also need to be tempered and refined.

Of course, every extraordinary Guardian.

Jiang Ping suddenly smiled, "An assassination attempt will occur."

"Forehead..."

Everyone froze for a moment.

Qingling also has its own rivals, and its talented individuals have historically faced assassination attempts when they venture out.

But.

This guest advisor suddenly brought up this matter...

Many people couldn't help but glance at Ye Xingchen.

This statement seems to have a hidden meaning!

Xu Meng suddenly realized that this elder really suited his taste.

However, he still retorted, "When a prodigy travels, his Guardian are all extraordinary individuals; most of them are Peak figures carrying True Saint Artifact."

Ye Xingchen glanced at Xu Meng; it was less of a rebuttal and more of a reminder.

At this moment, Jiang Ping said, "We can't be careless. Even with True Saint Artifact in hand, things can still go wrong."

At that moment, everyone's expression changed.

They recalled an old story about the elder.

Years ago, the senior brother of that Young Supreme master appeared with True Saint Artifact, but was killed and the True Saint Artifact disappeared without a trace.

This matter had already been exposed and had sparked considerable discussion.

No one knows what methods this person used to make a True Saint Artifact disappear into thin air.

At this moment, these inner disciples looked at the Guest Elder before them, and couldn't help but feel a little more apprehensive.

Faced with the threat from Ye Xingchen, a top-tier genius, this person not only did not back down in the slightest, but also threatened back.

It was practically an open warning to Ye Xingchen: Don't go out!

Their expressions varied, and they could tell that although this Guest Elder seemed approachable, he was arrogant and intolerant of challenge.

Moreover, the other party is extremely bloodthirsty. It's fine if you don't offend them, but once you do, people will really die. Li Buyu's Senior Brother is a bloody example.

This killer seems indifferent to the victim's talents and status; otherwise, he wouldn't have killed Ning Tianhe.

Ye Xingchen sneered, "Although the elder killed that Dao Seed surnamed Ning, he's still on the Wendaomeng's blacklist, isn't he? Guest Elder Jiang should be careful when he goes out."

Jiang Ping laughed and said, "I've just remembered another old friend, someone who tried to kill me when I was weak."

Upon hearing this, the inner disciples once again showed expressions of surprise.

They recalled that the Li Buyu's Senior Brother was involved in another old matter.

It is said that many years ago, another Peak expert coveted this elder's Dao Tree and then attacked him.

At the time, many people thought that this feud would be resolved decades later. However, only a few years later, this person, with Peak strength, came to the door and defeated the Dao Seed that had launched the sneak attack.

The crowd was horrified upon closer examination. Not to mention the Young Supreme Li Buyu, even the person before them possessed truly astonishing talent.

"Ignoring the past and focusing solely on this cultivation trajectory, Elder Jiang is comparable to Upper True Disciple!"

Xu Meng's heart pounded.

He remembered that Ji Wushuang, who had been taken as a closed-door disciple by the Yin-Yang Venerable, was also extraordinary. According to his elders, Ji Wushuang's talent was among the top three of the Lower True Disciple.

However, Ji Wushuang was defeated by the person before him, and afterwards, the gap in their strength widened, and he never caught up with her.

"I've heard that Li Buyu will definitely appear deep within the ruins this time; that person is capable of contending with a True Saint."

Ye Xingchen spoke again, but his tone was no longer as calm and confident as before; instead, he seemed increasingly uncertain.

He was hailed as a prodigy, but wasn't the other party also a genius? He had already proven his Peak Dao Seed and was writing his own legend through his actions.

It's one thing if the other party was robbed in the ruins, but if they return Anran to Qingling, given their talent, they will likely experience a rapid improvement.

However, he was still just a minor inner disciple. The position of True Disciple was too far away, and it would take him a long time to reach the Peak.

Thinking of this, Ye Xingchen broke out in a cold sweat.
