Ji Tianxing could not continue monitoring the guard commander as he was being watched by the two elders, lest the two elders become suspicious.
His current identity was still that of an elite Godking of the Three Mountain Hall.
Since the vice hall master had summoned him for an important matter, he could only obey.
Not long after, he returned to the residence of the Three Mountain Hall and met the vice hall master in the study.
Originally, he thought that the vice hall master would gather all the elite Godkings and instruct them on some matters or give them some orders.
He did not expect that other than the vice hall master and the four elders, he would be the only one in the study.
After greeting him, Ji Tianxing looked around and could not help but frown. He asked in a deep voice, "May I know why the vice hall master summoned me alone?"
The vice hall master covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to cough twice. Then, he said solemnly, "Su Juechen, you are also a smart person. This seat will not beat around the bush with you. Let's talk openly and honestly. How about it?"
Ji Tianxing did not reply. He only looked at the vice hall master quietly.
The vice hall master took it as a tacit agreement and continued, "You have lived in Three Mountain City for many years. This seat has only heard of what happened ten thousand years ago.
Now that you have returned to Three Mountain City, you can be considered to have taken your revenge. This seat hopes that this matter will end here.
Even if Three Mountain City has left you with any bad memories, that is a personal grudge between you and the five great aristocratic families.
The Three Mountain Hall is still fair and just. Three Mountain City is still your hometown and home. Isn't that right? "
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment. He understood the vice hall master's meaning and said expressionlessly, "Vice hall master, if you want to say something, you can say it directly. There is no need to hint like this."
The vice hall master also frowned and muttered in his heart, "What does this guy mean? Did this seat not make it clear enough? He should understand what this seat is saying, right? "
Seeing that Ji Tianxing was still looking at him calmly, he could only use the most straightforward words to say, "This seat's meaning is very simple. I hope that you remember your identity and origins.
You were born and raised in Tri-Mountain City. Today, you can come to the headquarters of Shang Qing Temple as a citizen of Tri-Mountain Hall.
No matter what happens in the future, no matter how far you can go, I hope that you can keep the Three Mountains Hall in your heart.
Of course, the Three Mountain Hall will also be your solid backing. When you need help, they will provide you with the appropriate assistance.
Now, do you understand what I mean? "
Ji Tianxing naturally understood what the Deputy Hall Master meant, but he didn't take the initiative to express his opinion. He waited for the Deputy Hall Master to say these words before nodding to indicate that he understood.
"Yes."
When the Vice Hall Master saw Ji Tianxing's indifferent response and only hummed in acknowledgment, he felt somewhat displeased.
The four elders also frowned and stared at Ji Tianxing with complicated expressions.
In their eyes, if Ji Tianxing was smart enough, he should take the initiative to declare his loyalty to the Three Mountain Hall and never forget his identity as a citizen of the Three Mountain Hall.
However, they simply didn't know that Ji Tianxing didn't care about this matter at all.
Moreover, not long after, when he took action and did something, the Deputy Hall Master would definitely regret his words.
Everyone fell silent. The study was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
When Ji Tianxing saw the Deputy Hall Master's icy expression, he felt displeased and took the initiative to say, "If the Deputy Hall Master has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."
Seeing that he was in such a hurry to leave, the four elders couldn't hold back any longer and began to reprimand and persuade him.
"Su Juechen, the Deputy Hall Master has already spoken so clearly. No matter what, you should at least make a statement, right?"
"Su Juechen, to a large extent, you were able to achieve what you have today because of the Three Mountain Hall's nurturing. You can't forget your roots!"
"No matter what mission you have to carry out, we hope that you can do your best and bring glory to the Three Mountain Hall."
"Your future is limitless, but with the way you do things, it will be very difficult for you to improve much. Thus, you need the Three Mountain Hall's support and assistance."
The four elders were already very dissatisfied with 'Su Juechen's' arrogance, so their words were even more blunt than the Deputy Hall Master's.
Ji Tianxing knew what these fellows were worried about.
Of course, these five fellows represented the Three Mountain Hall Masters.
If he didn't clearly state his position, these five people and the Three Mountain Hall Masters would probably be worried and continue to pester him.
For the sake of peace and quiet for the next few days, Ji Tianxing could only sternly say, "Everyone, please be at ease. I also ask that you tell the Hall Master that I, Su Juechen, will always be a citizen of the Three Mountain Hall and will never have any disloyalty."
After saying this, he cupped his hands toward the five of them and turned to leave.
The Deputy Hall Master and the four elders were satisfied with the answer they wanted and no longer tried to stop Ji Tianxing.
After Ji Tianxing left, the four elders clearly let out a sigh of relief.
The Deputy Hall Master also took out a communication jade slip and hurriedly reported to the Three Mountain Hall Masters that they had already completed their mission. Su Juechen had clearly stated his position.
… …
In the next few days, Ji Tianxing continued to stroll around the five giant mountains, secretly gathering information.
Previously, there were still many Godkings who couldn't stand the loneliness and strolled around like him.
However, after strolling around a few times, these Godkings began to explore even further, exploring the secret realm and gathering cultivation resources along the way.
As a result, there were very few people like Ji Tianxing who strolled around the five giant mountains, making him rather conspicuous.
Fortunately, after he made his position clear, the Deputy Hall Master and the four elders no longer paid any attention to him.
Even if he didn't stay in his residence for a few days and strolled around outside, no one paid any attention to him.
It was just a pity that the guards and generals under the five Hall Masters probably knew too little, or perhaps they were all tight-lipped and kept secrets.
Ji Tianxing continued to investigate for five days, but he still couldn't find any useful clues or information.
On the sixth day, almost all the people from the seventy-four Hall Masters had arrived.
At this time, a few Temple Deacons rushed to the various mountain peaks and passed down orders to the various Hall Masters that the elite selection competition would be held in two days.
Very early on, the Shang Qing Temple had announced the rules of the competition.
Each Hall Master would first select a hundred elite Godkings to gather in the Shang Qing Secret Realm. The seven thousand four hundred elite Godkings would then compete to select the three thousand most elite Godkings.
Only the three thousand elite Godkings could follow the Hall Masters and elders to do something earth-shattering.
As a result, the seven thousand four hundred elite Godkings were already mentally prepared.
As the competition approached, the security of the five giant mountains became even tighter. The number of guards patrolling the surroundings also doubled.
In order to not attract attention and suspicion, Ji Tianxing could only return to his residence and meditate in his room.
Although, he still couldn't find any definite information.
However, he was already forty to fifty percent sure that the unusual movement of the Shang Qing Temple might be related to the Asura God Emperor.
He had to enter the top three thousand to enter the five giant mountains and come into contact with the Hall Masters and elders. Only then would he have the opportunity to investigate further.
