But Yun Hong remained silent, his eyes slightly closed as if he were in a meditative state, completely unaware that the sect leader's order was anything unusual.
Among the people Yun Peng, Yun Feng, and Yun Feng alone accounted for three. He knew that this was the sect leader's way of putting him in a bad light, deliberately trying to reduce the number of core disciples in the family's cultivation.
According to the results of the retest in the Deacon Hall, the combat power of the cultivators in the Boundless Wilderness has surpassed that of the disciples in the blessed lands.
He knew he couldn't afford to lose his composure at this moment, so he simply stopped worrying.
They only hoped that Feng Yatou could make it into the top three, so that their family's cultivators could turn the tide.
But those Yunya and Yunmo...
When Yun Hong thought of this, an unnatural look flashed across his slightly closed eyes.
At this moment, Yunlong, who was at the head of the table, spoke again:
"During this selection of core disciples, I witnessed numerous chaotic phenomena within the sect. The Yunxiang Palace Master has been stationed within the sect for a long time and is quite familiar with the guardians of the Boundless Wilderness. Therefore, I have decided to disregard seniority and personal relationships, and only assess combat strength!"
Yunlong's words now carried a hint of coldness, especially the word "chaos," which sent a shiver down the spines of the cultivators present.
Are their disciples from the foot of the mountains really so incompetent? Why must they be selected from that Boundless Wilderness?
But then they remembered that Yun Kun and Yun Peng both rose from the Boundless Wilderness, and their resentment was suppressed.
Yun Kun is already half-crippled, but Yun Peng is ruthless!
"We beseech the Sect Master to make the final decision!"
Seeing the coldness in Yunlong's words, no one dared to openly object.
They simply bowed to the sect leader in unison, indicating their approval of the 12 core disciples.
Seeing them bowing their heads and obeying his orders, Yunlong felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
He knew that these mountain stronghold owners had been entrenched in the blessed land for many years and would definitely interfere with the selection of core disciples.
This concerns the future development of the sect, and the cultivation resources that can be allocated to one of the spots are immeasurable.
Normally they would never give up easily, but this time the selection of disciples and family cultivators from blessed lands was really too weak.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yunlong directly wrote the words "chaotic situation" to describe the powerful guardian cultivators in the Boundless Wilderness.
He simply decided to prioritize combat effectiveness, which immediately shut them up.
After all, anyone who dares to object should go and confront Yun Peng themselves.
Yunya and Yunmo are both guardians of the Daoist temples in the Boundless Wilderness. These types of cultivators value strength above all else and cannot tolerate being restrained.
They are unlikely to be easily won over by others, maintaining a neutral stance.
The group consisting of Yunluan, Yun Xiao, and Yun Feng includes family cultivators and cultivators guarding the Daoist temple. They are the pre-selected candidates and do not need to undergo a second examination by the Deacon Hall. They are considered forces that need to be kept in check.
Yun Feng, the eldest disciple within the blessed land, is Yunlong's own apprentice.
Since Yun Kun's accident, Yun Feng has become a candidate for the next sect leader.
Yunlong was quite confident in Yun Feng's talent, but his frail physique made Yunlong worry from time to time.
As for Yun Kun and Yun Peng...
Yun Kun, needless to say, was a prodigy among prodigies, and before the accident, he was even more prominent than Yun Feng.
Those were cultivated directly by the sect as candidates for Twofold Immortal cultivators.
However, after his own accident, Yun Kun quickly stepped down from the front line and did not show up in the sect again this time.
Yunlong was heartbroken by the fall of the prodigy, but for the sake of the sect's development, he had no choice but to quickly cultivate the talent at the top of Yun Feng.
This was cruel for Yun Kun Yun Kun, but he never uttered a word of complaint.
Yunlong's understanding of the bigger picture made him feel even more indebted to Yun Kun, so he repeatedly tolerated Yun Kun's junior brother Yun Peng's rudeness.
If Yun Kun is a cultivator who understands the bigger picture and knows when to advance and retreat, then his junior brother Yun Peng is the complete opposite.
It can be said that what troubles Yunlong the most within the Jade Screen Sect School is not any family of cultivators, but this Yun Peng cultivator in the Late-stage Mystic Immortal.
Yunlong gets a headache every time he thinks of this guy.
However, by using Yun Peng's name, they managed to quell those who harbored opposing views.
Yunlong muttered to himself, "I guess I still have to use magic to fight magic!"
Yun Peng and Yun Kun were as close as brothers, supporting each other for many years on their path to immortality.
For Yun Peng, Yun Kun was his benefactor, who was both a teacher and a father figure to him.
Yun Peng was disdainful of others, but he was extremely respectful to his senior brother Yun Kun.
Everyone says Yun Peng is audacious and reckless because of his strength, but just how audacious is he?
Within this blessed land, only two people are capable of fighting recklessly without regard for the consequences.
One was Perfected Yunxiang from the Deacon Hall, who was testing his disciples.
The second one is Yun Peng, who did it to avenge his senior brother Yun Kun.
After Yun Kun was unexpectedly relegated to a secondary role, Yunlong had no choice but to cultivate Yun Feng.
Although Yun Kun understood this action perfectly, he didn't expect it to anger Yun Peng.
After receiving the news in the Boundless Wilderness, Yun Peng disregarded the fact that the Daoist temple was unguarded and quickly teleported back to the Boundless Wilderness.
Upon receiving the specific information from the Deacon Hall, he immediately took action and shattered a mountain.
This blessed land within the Jade Screen Sect School has enjoyed peace and tranquility for so long; when has it ever been in such chaos?
After Yun Peng's powerful and sweeping swordplay, the mountains Deacon Hall were completely shattered.
He also captured the cultivators within the blessed land and, after learning the location of Yun Feng, sped off there, determined to personally take down Yun Feng.
They fought their way from the Deacon Hall to Yun Feng's location, but they were too late; Yun Feng had already gone to the main branch.
Upon learning this, Yun Peng showed no fear whatsoever, and instead, fueled by anger, headed towards the main branch.
On that day, two sword lights shone exceptionally fiercely in the magnificent main hall.
Yun Peng wreaked havoc alone within the blessed land, and under the sword light, he was utterly invincible.
The shattered mountains all fell into the Thousand Miasma Forest, and much of the dense fog that had been Beyond the Cloudy Heavens was dispersed.
In the end, it was the sect leader who personally intervened and brought the enraged Yun Peng under control.
Because he grieved over Yun Kun's fate, Yunlong chose to let Yun Peng, who was equally gifted, go free.
He was only punished by being allowed to guard the Mystic Immortal Daoist Sanctuary for several hundred years, and was forbidden from returning to the blessed land thereafter.
However, the conflict between Yun Peng and Yun Feng had already begun. In Yun Peng's heart, the position of senior brother always belonged to senior brother Yun Kun.
Now that the sect leader has actually supported Yun Feng's ascension to the position, what will become of Yun Kun?
Therefore, he never gave Yun Feng a kind look, and even harbored some resentment towards the sect.
Thinking of Yun Peng's attitude towards Yun Feng and the sect, Yunlong felt a sense of worry.
He is a double-edged sword; if you use him, you will inevitably be controlled by him in the end.
However, Yun Peng is stubborn and won't listen to reason; he'll definitely target Yun Feng during the competition.
If Yun Feng can subdue Yun Peng, then Yun Peng will never cause trouble again. If he cannot subdue him...
Thinking about the fighting power of Yunmo and Yunya, Yunlong's wavering heart calmed down a little.
