"Is your information accurate?" Cui Hongshen's face turned cold as he asked. "Don't go spouting baseless nonsense!"
"Believe it or not!" Xiao Hua waved the communication talisman. "The news from Dry Thunder Palace is absolutely more reliable than that from Dui Lei Palace!"
Then he glanced at him again. "But don't panic! According to Qian Diheng, our Thunder Control Sect is going to dispatch disciples to fight the sword cultivators! There are conditions for which disciples get chosen! Those whose realms have not broken through for a long time are the first choice! Qi Cultivation... quite a few disciples above the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation are included too! A place like our Myriad Thunder Valley has so few disciples, and disciples who have just broken through their realms will not be selected!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Cui Hongshen let out a breath of relief. Indeed, Myriad Thunder Valley had only three disciples; it was terribly short-handed! Moreover, its senior disciple had only advanced to the mid Foundation Establishment stage ten years ago, while the other two disciples had only just advanced to early Foundation Establishment. No matter how one counted, Myriad Thunder Valley disciples could not possibly be selected.
"Qi Meng is also a well-known disciple of Dui Lei Palace, so she likely won't be selected either!" Zhuo's heart settled as well. Smiling, she said to Cui Hongshen, "Martial Uncle Zhen Xichao probably intends to postpone your dual cultivation ceremony until after these disciples depart. Hongshen, don't be consumed by gains and losses!"
"Yes, this disciple understands!" The clouds cleared from Cui Hongshen's face, and he spoke with a beaming smile.
"Why do qi cultivation disciples have to go too?" Xiao Hua asked quietly. "Their cultivation is so shallow..."
"Hmph, what do you know?" Cui Hongshen sneered.
