The Tenth Sequence Holy Son, Ji Changkong
Chen Changqing's voice was as cold as ice, and an invisible pressure of aura pressed down in one direction.
"Boom!"
Then, a white figure slowly floated out from among the swaying shadows of the trees.
The figure was none other than the female ghost Xiaoqian from before.
After Chen Changqing killed the Granny Ghost, he chose to spare Xiaoqian, which Rujie somewhat resentful.
They worried that if Xiaoqian was released, she would wreak havoc on the world.
But Chen Changqing insisted, Rujie Jie had no choice but to let Chen Changqing have his way.
After Xiaoqian left, she didn't actually go far.
After Chen Changqing and Rujie parted ways, she secretly followed Chen Changqing.
Who would have thought that they hadn't gone very far before Chen Changqing discovered them.
As she floated to Chen Changqing's side, Xiaoqian quickly bowed to Chen Changqing and said:
"Please forgive me, young master."
"This young lady did not intentionally follow you, sir."
"Only..."
At this point, Xiaoqian stopped abruptly, looking as if she had something difficult to say.
Chen, having heard this for a long time, remained calm and said:
"But you're homeless, with nowhere to go?"
Xiaoqian nodded, her face full of sorrow, and replied:
"As you say, young master, I truly have nowhere to go."
"Moreover... Granny Ghost was a confidante of the Black Mountain Ghost King, and now that she has died at your hands, young master, I'm afraid he will never let this go."
Chen Changqing smiled calmly and said:
"Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to come with me?"
"The Black Mountain Ghost King is equivalent to Nascent Soul Cultivator among us humans!"
"I am merely at the Core Formation Realm stage."
After Chen Changqing said that, Xiaoqian was speechless.
She truly didn't know where to go or what to do.
Having seen that Chen Changqing was clear about right and wrong and kind-hearted, I thought that it would be better to follow Chen Changqing than to be a wandering ghost.
But at this moment, Chen Changqing left her speechless.
After a brief silence, Xiaoqian pursed her lips before speaking:
"Young master, you are my benefactor!"
"If you hadn't intervened earlier, given Granny Ghost's ruthlessness, she would have surely whipped me to pieces."
"After I died, I was controlled by the Granny Ghost. She made me go out and harm humans, taking their lives for her, but I never complied."
"My benefactor saved me, and I am willing to follow you to repay your kindness."
As she spoke, Xiaoqian stared intently at Chen Changqing, her eyes filled with sincerity.
Now that things have come to this, she has no idea where she can go.
Even if following Chen Changqing was risky, she was willing.
Upon hearing what Xiaoqian said, Chen Changqing spoke up:
"Xiaoqian, don't you know I'm a disciple of Mount Shu?"
"If you follow me and are discovered by the other disciples, what do you think will happen to you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian was taken aback.
She hadn't thought that much about it; she just felt that Chen Changqing was a decent person and had even saved her, so she thought she could follow him.
After a slight pause, Xiaoqian said apologetically:
"Young master, it was my fault for not considering things properly; I did not think of your needs."
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and casually waved his hand, instantly producing several Jade Slip.
These Jade Slip contain the cultivation Cultivation Method of Ghost Cultivator, which Chen Changqing obtained by looting the barrier after killing Granny Ghost.
For Chen Changqing, the Ghost Cultivator Cultivation Method was of no use.
"The Jade Slip contains the Cultivation Practice Method of you Ghost Cultivator."
"You may cultivate in this small town, but remember, you must not harm anyone!"
If fate allows, we will meet again!
As he spoke, Chen Changqing waved his hand lightly, and the Jade Slip slips containing the Ghost Cultivator Cultivation Method flew towards Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changqing would give him these Ghost Cultivator Cultivation Method.
She looked at Chen Changqing with gratitude, knowing full well that it was unlikely she could stay with Chen Changqing now.
Perhaps, following Chen Changqing's advice and staying here to cultivate diligently would be the best course of action.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Xiaoqian's eyes, and then she bowed deeply alongside Chen Changqing, saying:
"Thank you, young master!"
"I will forever remember your great kindness, young master!"
Chen Changqing smiled faintly, said nothing more to Xiaoqian, and then flew away on his sword with Wangcai.
Watching the sword Sword Light disappear into the sky, Xiaoqian's eyes gleamed with determination.
"Young Master!"
"I will definitely cultivate diligently."
Time flies, and before you know it, quite some time has passed.
At this moment, Inner Sect the Mount Shu gate.
The Top 100 Battle Arena was packed with people, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Today is the day of Chen Changqing's duel with Bai Hao, who is ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking.
Three months ago, Bai Hao was sent by the Tenth Sequence Holy Son to Azure Firmament Valley to invite Chen Changqing to join the sequence camp.
I originally thought Chen Changqing would choose to join without hesitation.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing refused.
He also said that he would fight Bai Hao three months later.
If Bai Hao could defeat him, he would consider joining the ranks of the Tenth Sequence Holy Son.
This incident caused quite a stir among the Inner Sect Mount Shu.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing refused.
After all, joining the Holy Son Sequence has many benefits.
Putting aside everything else, the variety of Cultivation Resources they can obtain is far beyond what ordinary inner disciple can match.
But Chen Changqing refused.
That was bad enough, but he actually took the initiative to challenge Bai Hao.
Although Chen Changqing has risen to prominence since joining the Inner Sect, he has quickly climbed into the top fifty of the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking.
But Bai Hao is ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking!
Wow, there are so many people today!
"It seems like all the ordinary Inner Sect disciples have come!"
"And there are disciples from the Seven Main Peaks!"
"That Chen Changqing is truly ungrateful; he actually dared to challenge Senior Brother Bai Hao!"
"I think Chen Changqing is just trying to use this opportunity to become famous!"
"That's right. With his strength, he's no match for Senior Brother Bai Hao. If he loses to Senior Brother Bai Hao, won't he have to join the Sequence faction anyway?"
"Can't you tell I'm putting on airs?"
"If I were the Tenth Sequence Holy Son, even after Bai Hao defeats him, I wouldn't take him under my command."
"..."
Immediately, many inner disciple began to discuss it.
Chen Changqing was naturally not viewed favorably.
After all, how long has Chen Changqing been a member of the Inner Sect? How could he possibly be a match for Bai Hao, who is ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking?
Just as everyone was discussing this, someone suddenly exclaimed:
"Look! The Tenth Sequence Holy Son has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look.
Upon closer inspection, a young man in white robes appeared, walking through the air.
This young man was handsome and refined, with flowing robes and a faint Dao Resonance surrounding him.
It was none other than the Tenth Sequence Holy Son, Ji Changkong!
Before the commotion in the crowd could subside, someone shouted:
"The Ninth Sequence Holy Son has arrived too!"
Then, another young man appeared, soaring through the air.
This man was handsome and refined, exuding an air of elegance.
Who else could it be but Bai Yifei, the Ninth Sequence Holy Son?
