Although elite disciples would enter the Sage Devil Gorge, their existence was to supervise the gorge. Usually, they wouldn't act personally.
In the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the status of an elite disciple was extremely high. They were chosen from the core disciples and each elite disciple would take on an expert from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect as their master. There would be experts who would guide them in their cultivation and if they advanced a step further, they would already be Sage Child characters.
The purpose of the Sage Devil Gorge was to select 160 core disciples. If elite disciples acted, most probably not many would be able to withstand it. Those truly powerful geniuses would also be eliminated.
Xia Hou was the leader of the elite disciples in charge of supervising the Sage Devil Gorge this time around. His cultivation base was extremely high and he had an esteemed status. When he heard Blackpeak's words, he was somewhat bewildered as he replied, "Blackpeak, you should know that the purpose of us elite disciples is to supervise and not to hunt. If I lead people to act against a participant, I might be reprimanded."
"I understand. But as long as you don't act personally and only send fifth-level ascendants to hunt him down, it wouldn't be considered breaking the rules of the sect. If you are reprimanded, you just need to find an excuse. You are the supervisor of the Sage Devil Gorge and this young man killed and humiliated the disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate. His character isn't good, isn't it your responsibility to kill him?"
Blackpeak spoke. After that, he transmitted his voice to Xia Hou, causing Xia Hou's expression to brighten as he stared at Blackpeak. For the sake of killing that young man, this fellow was truly willing to pay a heavy price. Seems like the hatred between him and Qin Wentian wasn't small. Also, given his identity as a supervisor, killing someone wasn't a big deal as long as he didn't break the rules.
Blackpeak was the personal disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King and the Deepflame Immortal King was also a war general highly regarded by his Majesty. Since he was willing to pay such a price, Xia Hou naturally had to give him some face. One could only say that this young man was truly unlucky.
"This man humiliated a disciple of our Dongshengxian Gate, his character truly isn't good. He should be killed. Since this is the case, I will gather more people." Xia Hou and Blackpeak exchanged glances, there was no need to say anything further.
"Gather more geniuses. This young man's combat prowess is extremely strong, I fought against him before in the Eastern Sage Cliff." Blackpeak reminded. Even for elite disciples, it would be tough for them to defeat Qin Wentian in a one-on-one battle unless a Sage Child character acted.
"Alright." Xia Hou nodded and shot out a beam of light, issuing a command to gather everyone. As for the fifth-level ascendant beside him, he had been monitoring Qin Wentian's movements. He discovered that Qin Wentian's light dot had actually stopped at a different location after traveling a great distance.
Qin Wentian only wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate. At this moment, he arrived at the foot of an ancient mountain. From the top of the ancient mountain, a waterfall cascaded down, creating a deafening sound. The force of the waterfall was extremely strong.
"The water droplets converge to form a waterfall and flow down with such power." Qin Wentian murmured. He gazed at the waterfall and cultivated. After a while, his body moved and he turned around to look at the newcomer. He smiled and said, "We have such a tacit understanding."
Gu Liufeng shook his head and smiled, "There are too many experts in the Dongshengxian Gate of the Sage Devil Gorge. We might encounter ambushes everywhere, I just want to find a quiet place."
"I believe that given your strength, ordinary disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate wouldn't be able to do anything to you." Qin Wentian replied.
"Outer disciples can be dealt with, but there are some core disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate. Things might be a little troublesome." Gu Liufeng's handsome eyes stared at the waterfall ahead as he continued, "What about you? You should have encountered quite a number of people from the Dongshengxian Gate hunting you down, right?"
"Mhm, there's no way for me to be at peace. They are here again." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. He turned and stared at the horizons only to see a group of figures rushing over. There were actually a total of nine silhouettes, and there were even a few with tyrannical auras among them. It was obvious that they weren't on the same level as him.
"How persistent." Qin Wentian stared at Blackpeak. On the other side, there were also several silhouettes rushing over. They seemed to be targeting Gu Liufeng because their cultivation bases were the same as Gu Liufeng, at the fourth level of Celestial Phenomenon.
"Mhm?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with sharpness. The people from both sides arrived at the same time, and they were so focused on each other. It was as though their movements could be directly locked onto by the other party.
"Interesting, I met two of them at the same time." Blackpeak's countenance flickered with a cold light when he saw Gu Liufeng. Back then when he went to the inn, this person was already together with Qin Wentian. Since they met at the same time, he might as well finish them off together.
Gu Liufeng also saw Blackpeak, as well as the group of people beside him. His countenance instantly turned unsightly to behold. Not only were there core disciples in golden robes, there were also several other disciples in golden robes whom he had never seen before. Their auras were even stronger, and standing in the middle, it was evident that their statuses were higher than the core disciples.
"Before this, we met some outer and core disciples. What are your identities then?" Qin Wentian stared at Xia Hou who was in the lead.
"Elite disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate." Before Xia Hou could reply, Blackpeak already replied, "Qin Wentian, you have nothing in your eyes, slaughtering disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate. I've already said it, you won't be able to escape death."
Qin Wentian's countenance remained calm. He continued to stare at Xia Hou as he spoke, "In this tempering exercise, the 160 participants can become core disciples. As for you guys, you are all elite disciples. If you meet someone who has the talent to become a core disciple, wouldn't you all be easily eliminated? What's the meaning of this tempering exercise? If I'm not wrong, elite disciples shouldn't act so casually, right?"
Xia Hou stared at Qin Wentian, his countenance indifferent as he said, "You are very smart. However, as Blackpeak said, even before entering my Dongshengxian Gate, you are already so arrogant and condescending, slaughtering and humiliating disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate. Such a person with a bad character isn't qualified to become a core disciple of the Dongshengxian Gate. I, Xia Hou, am the supervisor of the Sage Devil Gorge, so I have the obligation to kill you."
Xia Hou's words, as the supervisor of the Sage Devil Gorge, he had the obligation to kill Qin Wentian. It was as if Qin Wentian deserved to die in the Sage Devil Gorge.
Hearing this, Qin Wentian laughed arrogantly. Another bad character. Last time, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor used this reason to humiliate him. Now, the elite disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate wanted to use this reason to deal with him.
His body floated up as he arrogantly spoke, "Since you say that my character is bad, just treat it as my character is bad then. If you want to kill me, feel free to do so."
"I will deal with him." An elite disciple at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon spoke.
"No need, this brat's character is too low. You guys directly go up and kill him here, there's no need to show mercy." Xia Hou's eyes were cold as he stared at the elite disciple, giving the order to kill.
"Right." The few of them nodded. A moment later, six experts stepped out. Four of them were core disciples and two of them were elite disciples. Their lineup was truly terrifying.
"BOOM!" One of the elite disciples released his constellation, causing the starry sky to shine. His body seemed to be carrying a supremely terrifying Xuanwu on his back, exuding a towering might. His palms blasted out towards Qin Wentian as runic light illuminated the sky. A towering divine might bore down on him, wanting to shatter this entire space.
Qin Wentian's battle art erupted forth. He lifted his palms and blasted them into the skies, causing the air to tremble violently. The blood in this elite disciple's body erupted forth as boundless runic light circulated around him, transforming into a Xuanwu Armor that was covered in countless runic patterns. His defense was extremely shocking. He frenziedly attacked and in an instant, the two of them exchanged over ten attacks yet they had no way to shake each other.
The elite disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate had gone through many rounds of selection and were accepted as personal disciples by experts of the immortal sect. They cultivated many immortal arts and innate techniques and were naturally extremely powerful.
The other elite disciple also rushed over. His constellation was like a blazing sun sword diagram, incomparably dazzling. Countless sun swords descended from the sky, unceasingly slashing towards Qin Wentian. Each and every one of the sun swords contained a heaven-shaking might, capable of breaking apart everything.
Qin Wentian's palms frenziedly blasted out, but against the ferocious attacks of the two elite disciples, his attack speed clearly wasn't fast enough. And in another direction, the four core disciples started their own attacks. If they fought against Qin Wentian alone, they might easily be defeated. But right now, there were two elite disciples fighting against Qin Wentian while they supported him. If their attacks landed on Qin Wentian, it would similarly be fatal.
"Aren't the disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate a little too shameless? We came here to undergo the tempering exercise yet you guys actually made the elite disciples and core disciples gang up on a single person?" Gu Liufeng's aura fluctuated as he coldly spoke.
"Insulting my Dongshengxian Gate. Kill them all." Xia Hou faintly spoke, his countenance cold. He wouldn't go against the rules, killing one was killing, killing two was also killing. He was the supervisor of the Sage Devil Gorge, he still had this bit of authority.
Those fourth-level ascendants rushed towards Gu Liufeng, only to see Gu Liufeng carrying numerous dazzling arrows on his back. Each and every arrow was akin to a rainbow, corroding the void and containing a terrifying penetrative force. At the same time, he retreated, increasing the distance between him and his pursuers.
A cold smile flickered in Blackpeak's eyes. Watching these two battles, Qin Wentian wanted to humiliate him. Naturally, he would make him pay the price.
At this moment, Qin Wentian was surrounded by six experts and was in imminent danger. The elite disciple with the Xuanwu Saber on his back was like an impenetrable shield, blocking all of Qin Wentian's attacks. Qin Wentian's attacks were also extremely powerful, capable of shaking the heavens and earth.
"RUMBLE ~" A terrifying rumbling sound rang out. Qin Wentian's body grew taller, instantly expanding to a size of 100 meters, resembling a gigantic mountain. The six experts all retreated, staring at Qin Wentian.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian's gigantic body stretched out his palms, blotting out the skies as he grabbed towards the two core disciples. The two of them frenziedly attacked, yet they had no way to break through the blood-colored battle palm imprints, and were directly crushed into pieces. Two terrifying palm imprints directly grabbed out, crushing the two core disciples into smithereens with a single clench.
Qin Wentian's huge eyes stared at Xia Hou and Blackpeak. His countenance was cold to the extreme as an intense killing intent surged within him.
"You will pay a painful price for your actions." Qin Wentian swept his gaze over to the two of them as his voice turned cold. He roared in rage, his might shaking the heavens as his anger seethed, causing Xia Hou's heart to tremble. However, he only saw Xia Hou shooting out a beam of light that was even more resplendent than before. This summoning summon was instantly seen by countless experts!
