Qingyun Peak, peak!
"Yu Haoran greets Peak Master!"
When he was less than 10 meters away from the Dao Enlightenment Stone, Yu Haoran immediately dispersed the dragon formed from his elemental energy. Then, he used his elemental energy to control his body and slowly landed in front of Gao Luanping.
"Junior Yu, although I know that your potential is extremely outstanding and comparable to that of the top evildoers, I'm afraid that your previous move was not just because of your potential!"
Gao Luanping could not help but praise the courteous Yu Haoran, who did not have the slightest trace of the tyranny and rudeness he had displayed when he had charged into Enforcer Peak previously.
"Peak Master, you're too kind. It was just a small trick!"
As they exchanged pleasantries, Yu Haoran climbed onto the Enlightenment Stone.
"Junior Yu, do you know why the stone beneath our feet is called the Enlightenment Stone?"
When Gao Luanping saw that Yu Haoran didn't want to talk about how he used his essence force to transform into a flying flood dragon, he knew that there must be some kind of secret technique involved. Therefore, he tactfully didn't bring it up.
Then, he inexplicably shifted the topic to the ordinary bluestone rock beneath their feet.
"I don't know."
Shaking his head, Yu Haoran indicated that he was not very clear about it. At the same time, he also expressed his master's fondness for this bluestone.
"But I know that when master is free, he often comes to this Enlightenment Stone at the peak of the mountain and sits there for an entire day."
"Of course. Because this Enlightenment Stone was moved from the Trial Peak to commemorate a person, a person who has done us a favor! "
Bending down and stroking the bluestone beneath his feet, Gao Luanping sank into his memories.
"Sixty years ago, Peak Master Gao Luanping, Qingyun Peak Master Feng Qingyun, Sect Master Zhao Ji, Vice Sect Masters Zhong Faqin and Lieyan, Sunset Peak Master Li Chen, and the deceased Long Aoyun, seven people became disciples of the Hundred Chi Gate at the same time."
"At that time, there were thousands of new disciples who took part in the talent test. Only these seven disciples had the most outstanding talent, potential, comprehension, and perseverance. They all had the potential to become Martial Sages in the early stages."
At this point, Gao Luanping stood up and looked at Yu Haoran.
"Martial Nephew Yu, sixty years ago, the competition between the factions of the Hundred Chi Gate was not as intense as it is now. Moreover, the way they trained their disciples was different from now."
"At that time, the sect did not allow the various factions to recruit disciples they liked in advance. Every new disciple who had just entered the sect had to cultivate for a period of time at the Trial Peak. Only when their cultivation had broken through to the Martial Master realm could they choose to join a different faction."
After saying this, Gao Luanping glanced at the Zheng Ping Residence, Bai Chi Peak, Rising Dragon Peak, and Dusk Peak of Qingyun Peak, before he continued with a warm expression.
"Because the seven of them have similar talent and potential, are of the same age, and entered the sect at the same time."
"Therefore, among the new disciples of the Trial Peak, the relationship between the seven of them was especially good."
"It seems that three months after they entered the sect, under the suggestion of Long Aoyun, who had the highest prestige and strength, the seven of them were ranked according to their age."
"Among them, Long Aoyun was the eldest senior brother, Zhao Ji was the second senior brother, Lieyan was the third senior brother, Gao Luanping was the fourth, Zhong Faqin was the fifth, Li Chen was the sixth, and Feng Qingyun was the seventh."
"In just one year and five months, the seven of them all successfully broke through to the Martial Master realm in less than a month's time."
"Originally, they had agreed to join the same faction so that they could continue to support each other and grow together. However, three days before they were promoted to inner disciples, an accident suddenly happened to their Eldest Senior Brother, who was able to unite them. This caused them to choose different factions due to their different personalities and preferences, which eventually led to the current situation."
"The Enlightenment Stone beneath our feet is the green stone that Long Aoyun sat on when he was cultivating."
At this point, Gao Luanping sighed, then looked at Yu Haoran and said, "Ai!"
"Martial Nephew Yu, I've been the Peak Master of the Enforcement Peak for close to twenty years. With the deep accumulation of the Enforcement Peak for close to a thousand years, do you think I have no way of dealing with you just by transforming into a Rank Five exotic beast?"
Hearing the arrogance in Gao Luanping's tone, Yu Haoran asked in return, "So you're saying that you let me off in the end because of my master?"
"Half!"
Gao Luanping neither admitted nor denied it. Once again, he skipped the topic and suddenly changed the topic to Zhao Ji.
"Three days ago, the Vice Peak Master of the Hundred Feet Peak, who is also the Sect Master Zhao Ji's cousin, Zhao Ying, suddenly came to find me. Not only did she take out many precious treasures, she also promised many conditions that I couldn't refuse. She only had one request!"
"Join forces to deal with me, or rather, join forces to deal with my master!" Yu Haoran guessed, following Gao Luanping's words.
"Martial Nephew Yu, you're very smart!"
Gao Luanping smiled and nodded, then suddenly said after praising him.
"However, I rejected them on the spot!"
"Why?" Yu Haoran asked, puzzled.
If no one knew that Feng Qingyun was already a Martial Saint, everyone would have chosen the stronger Zhao Ji, who represented the Hundred Foot Gate's orthodox lineage.
Since Gao Luanping rejected them on the spot, it meant that he either knew his master's true cultivation, or there were other reasons.
Thinking of how Feng Qingyun hid his strength, Yu Haoran believed that Gao Luanping shouldn't know that his master was already a Martial Saint expert. There could only be other reasons.
"Why!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's question, Gao Luanping couldn't help but ask angrily.
"Because I want Zhao Ji to die!"
"Why?" Yu Haoran continued asking.
Combined with the grafted demonic arts that Gao Luanping used on Ouyang Haoyu, as well as Ouyang Haoyu's achievements in his previous life, it meant that he didn't have any ambitions for the Hundred Chi Gate's Sect Master position.
Then, if he wanted Zhao Ji to die, it could only mean that there was a grudge between the two of them.
"Martial Nephew Yu, I just told you that the reason why the seven of them were able to unite was because of Senior Brother Long Aoyun's charisma."
"At that time, although the potential of the seven of us was about the same, because of my innate physique, my cultivation and strength were far behind the other six. This caused Zhao Ji, Lieyan, and Zhong Faqin to be extremely dissatisfied."
"Because in their eyes, with my cultivation speed, I didn't deserve to be called brothers with them. Zhao Ji even proposed to remove me from the seven of them."
"But not only did Senior Brother refuse, he even took out the cultivation resources given to him by the sect to help me increase my cultivation and strength. In order to let me catch up to the cultivation speed of the other five people, he took risks more than once to bring me deep into the mountains to train. At least five times, Senior Brother almost lost his life."
"In my heart, Senior Brother is not only an elder brother, but also an existence like a loving father. He is the person that Gao Luanping admires the most in his life, and also the only person that I admire."
"But I never thought that the murderer of Senior Brother's accident was actually Zhao Ji. The reason was only because of an eighth step, first rank talent pill that could increase one's talent and potential."
"Martial Uncle Gao, what do you want to do?"
While disdaining Zhao Ji's character, Yu Haoran also changed the way he addressed Zhao Ji to express his attitude.
"Martial Nephew Yu, do you know why Zhao Ji called for the sect summit in advance this time?"
