Lei Zhen's orders

The two young men came quickly and left just as quickly.

Even after they left, the Myriad Phenomena Grounds remained deathly silent.

The new disciples who had clamored for an apology were all pale with terror.

No one had expected them to have been sent by Lei Zhen.

"Qin Hao, you refused Lei Zhen's summons this time. I'm afraid he won't let this go."

Liu Changqing approached first and said worriedly, "As one of the Inner Hall's top geniuses, Lei Zhen is extremely powerful, and he has gathered quite a few formidable geniuses under him. You'll have to be careful."

Zhu Jingsheng also spoke gravely. "Lei Zhen is meticulous, ruthless, and arrogant beyond measure. I doubt he'll act against you personally, but even his subordinates are more than we new disciples can handle."

"Exactly, Qin Hao! We may not be afraid of Lei Zhen, but there's no telling what underhanded tricks he might use!"

Xu Hongying declared confidently, "Of course, you don't have to worry too much. Lei Zhen won't dare do anything to you openly. As for why, well, I have my ways!"

Several other new disciples he knew also voiced their concerns and warned Qin Hao.

After all, there was an enormous gulf between Inner Hall disciples and Outer Hall disciples.

To advance to the Inner Hall, Outer Hall disciples not only had to reach the top hundred of the Bronze Ranking, but also clear the Stone Man Secret Realm! The realm contained a total of one hundred and eight Stone Puppets, and only those who defeated the first eighty could advance to the Inner Hall.

Among the tens of thousands of Outer Hall disciples, very few ever truly advanced to the Inner Hall. The vast majority chose to become deacons or were dispatched to guard various territories.
