"Yes! Senior brother, I'll do it right away!"
Song Xiang As if he had been granted amnesty, he quickly bowed in response, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Chu Feng suddenly stopped him again.
Song Xiang paused in his steps and turned back in confusion.
Chu Feng's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and said.
"In addition, we have also sent a message to Zhao Wuji and Sun Mo, True Disciple, asking them to withdraw as well. The garrison matter will be put aside for the time being."
Song Xiang Hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he subconsciously said, "Senior brother, withdraw Zhao and Sun. True Disciple Senior brother? That thief..."
"A thief?"
Chu Feng The anger that had just been suppressed rose again.
"Zhang Yuan has spread the news to everyone, so how can the thief not know about it?"
"Why would a thief throw himself into a trap if he knew there was an ambush? Continuing to stand guard is just a waste of manpower and time, and it is meaningless!"
There was a hint of annoyance in his tone that could not be concealed, and a wave of anger rose from his heart.
Zhang Yuan's move not only disgraced him, but also completely disrupted his plan, making the plan against the thieves fall short.
"Yes, I will go and summon you right away!"
Song Xiang shuddered and broke into a cold sweat, and said quickly.
After that, he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly exited the study, as if he would suffocate if he stayed for a moment longer.
In the study, Chu Feng was the only one left again.
He slowly sat back on the Taishi chair, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, his face full of gloom and frustration.
The thief's case made no progress, but cost a lot of money.
Suppressing Fang Han failed, but instead allowed him to take advantage of the situation and rise, and will soon obtain the status of True Disciple.
The battle with Zhang Yuan also ended in defeat...
Everything was going wrong, as if there was a big invisible net that was slowly tightening, making him feel an inexplicable suffocation.
One day later, at noon, at the Azure Profound Sect mountain gate.
A slightly hurried figure rushed over, covered in dust. It was Li Qinghong who rushed back day and night after receiving the summons.
At this moment, he no longer had the calm demeanor of a True Disciple disciple, and his face was so gloomy that he could almost shed water.
His eyes were bloodshot and his mouth was pursed tightly, carrying an extremely suppressed anger and regret.
The silver-patterned green robe that represented True Disciple's identity was stained with some dust, and he didn't bother to clean it up.
He never imagined that just because he had been stationed outside for half a month at the invitation of Chu Feng, his ranking within the sect would have undergone such earth-shaking changes.
The ranking was actually surpassed by a boy Beginner stage who had just turned one year old!
If he had known that this would happen, let alone the rewards promised by Chu Feng, even if they were doubled, he would never leave the sect for even half a step, but would concentrate on cultivating within the sect.
The resource tilt and transcendent status brought by True Disciple identity are far beyond what those external objects can compare with.
"It's Senior Brother Li Qinghong!"
"He's back. It seems he has received the news!"
"The face is obviously ugly..."
There were many disciples coming and going at the mountain gate, and someone immediately recognized Li Qinghong, talking in low voices and looking at him with complicated eyes.
Li Qinghong turned a deaf ear to the comments around him, kept walking, and walked straight past with a sullen face.
And the news of his return to the sect quickly spread throughout the sect, as if he had wings.
Zi Courtyard.
Fang Han had just finished his morning practice when he saw Xiao Chen coming with an anxious look on his face.
"Fang Han, Li Qinghong, senior brothers are back, and it seems they are preparing to compete for ranking!"
Xiao Chen's tone was urgent, with obvious worry in his eyes.
Obviously, he is afraid that Li Qinghong will successfully regain the ranking, causing Fang Han to fail in competing with True Disciple.
"It's normal. After something like this happened, it would be strange if he didn't come back."
Fang Han heard this, but his expression didn't change much. He just nodded slightly and said calmly.
Xiao Chen Seeing how calm he was, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled bitterly.
"You... are you not worried at all? Li Qinghong is the veteran True Disciple after all. He is powerful. What if he..."
"There's no use worrying."
Fang Han interrupted Xiao Chen, his eyes as calm as water.
"I tried my best in yesterday's test. If Li Qinghong can improve his ranking to the top 30 within three days, it means he is stronger. I have nothing to say. Even if I test again, the result will not change."
His tone was calm and calm.
Xiao Chen looked at Fang Han's unwavering eyes, opened his mouth, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
"Oh, the emperor is really not in a hurry to kill the eunuch. My heart almost jumped into my throat. You'd better... that's all. You just have to know what's going on."
Fang Han smiled faintly and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, let's go eat first."
The reason why he is so calm is not because he is blindly arrogant.
Yesterday's test showed that he has indeed exerted his ultimate strength in his current state.
However, his current cultivation level is not far from the late stage of sixth grade.
Even if Li Qinghong is lucky enough to be promoted to the top 30 this time, it will only be a temporary lead.
When his cultivation reaches the late sixth level, his strength will definitely skyrocket again. By then, it will not be difficult to reach a higher ranking, not to mention being ranked 30th.
True Disciple's position, to him, is just a matter of days.
Returning to the sect, Li Qinghong did not immediately rush to General Ranking Martial Dao Stele to test and try to regain the top 30 ranking.
Instead, he returned to his own courtyard in True Transmission Courtyard, declined all outsiders, and adjusted himself to a state of fatigue from running all night.
It wasn't until the next day that Li Qinghong dressed in a silver-patterned green robe, walked out of his residence solemnly, and walked towards the square where General Ranking Martial Dao Stele was located.
"Senior brother Li Qinghong is out!"
"Look at the direction, we are going to General Ranking Martial Dao Stele!"
"Quick, go to the square!"
The disciples who had been paying attention to the movements of True Transmission Courtyard immediately discovered the whereabouts of Li Qinghong, immediately gathered their friends and rushed to the square where General Ranking Martial Dao Stele was located.
And the news spread quickly as if it had wings.
One after another figures galloped out from each courtyard, converging towards the huge White Jade Plaza from all directions.
When Li Qinghong stepped into the square, the edge of the originally open square was now completely dark, with hundreds of people gathered!
There are not only Twelve Courtyards disciples, but also many figures wearing True Disciple costumes scattered among them, with either deep or sharp auras.
Even in some positions with excellent views, we saw several figures wearing deacons and even Elder costumes, standing quietly and looking calmly at the giant monument in the center of the square.
Obviously, whether Li Qinghong can keep the position of True Disciple this time has attracted great attention from the whole sect.
Li Qinghong walked towards the towering General Ranking Martial Dao Stele in the center of the square and stood a few feet in front of the monument.
Close your eyes, concentrate and calm down, and the breath around your body begins to become restrained, like a volcano about to erupt, accumulating its final strength.
The entire square also became quiet, and you could hear the drop of a needle. Everyone held their breath and waited for the announcement of the results.
After a few breaths, Li Qinghong's eyes suddenly opened and his juices burst out!
The aura around him suddenly exploded, and the powerful Internal Qi poured out without any reservation. His clothes automatically made a hunting sound without any wind.
A coercion that was far more powerful than ordinary disciples spread out, causing the surrounding disciples to change their expressions.
"Boom!"
The right fist was clenched tightly, and the bones made a crackling sound. With a cruel and domineering fist intention, it blasted towards the smooth monument!
The fist wind was sharp and harsh, causing ripples visible to the naked eye in the air wherever it passed!
It is his famous secret skill - High Grade boxing <Army-Breaking Fist>!
The fist touched the surface of the monument and made a loud thunderous sound!
General Ranking Martial Dao Stele's whole body shines brightly, the monument's surface shakes violently, and ripple-like energy ripples spread crazily.
Li Qinghong's name suddenly lit up, and then the numbers representing the rankings began to flash crazily!
But in the end, the numbers stopped flashing and remained fixed at - No. 31!
The ranking of Li Qinghong has not changed!
The entire square first fell into an extremely dead silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Immediately, there was an explosion of sound, exclamations, uproar, and discussions intertwined together.
"Failed, senior brother Li Qinghong failed to return to the top thirty!"
"Fang Han...Fang Han is going to become True Disciple!"
Many people's eyes were filled with extreme shock and complexity, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable envy and awe.
"Beginner stage became...True Disciple's disciple in just over a year. This talent... is simply terrifying!"
"I'm afraid that even if we spend our whole lives, we won't be able to match it..."
Some disciples of True Disciple were discussing the failure of Li Qinghong, and their words were full of regrets.
"It's a pity for Junior Brother Li. If he had never left the sect and concentrated on practicing, he might not have been surpassed..."
"True Disciple's position is not once and for all. If you slack off a little, you may be replaced by someone who comes after you!"
As soon as these words came out, many of the True Disciple disciples present looked stern, and a hint of alertness and solemnity subconsciously flashed in their eyes.
What happened to Li Qinghong undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for them.
Even if you are already ranked True Disciple, you must not relax at all, otherwise the Li Qinghong you are today may not be the same you tomorrow.
In front of the crowd.
Li Qinghong stood there in a daze, looking at the motionless "31" on the monument, his face turned from the initial expectation to a look of death.
His lips were trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Finally, he closed his eyes suddenly and his chest heaved violently. When he opened them again, there was only bottomless decadence and gloom in his eyes.
He took a deep look at Martial Dao Stele, as if he wanted to carve that ranking into the depths of his soul, and then turned around suddenly.
He separated from the crowd and left quickly with some staggering steps, his back full of loneliness and desolation.
On the other side, Chu Feng's face was so gloomy that he could shed water.
He stared at the name Fang Han on General Ranking Martial Dao Stele, his eyes were cold and piercing, as if he wanted to pierce through those two words.
His knuckles turned slightly white due to exertion, and the low air pressure emanating from his whole body made Song Xiang standing next to him afraid to breathe, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.
Li Qinghong failed to return to the top 30, which means that Fang Han has become True Disciple.
True Disciple and ordinary disciples have completely different status and importance within the sect.
From now on, even with his status as the genius True Disciple, it will be difficult for him to touch Fang Han. Fang Han has completely become a climate change.
Unspeakable regrets arose in his heart. He had known that Fang Han would grow so fast. Even if he ignored the thief, he would have tried every means to suppress Fang Han. Unfortunately, he could no longer regret it.
