Ye Zhen started to look from the top. She recognized the faces of the elders of the Glory Sects, but she still couldn't find Chou Hen's figure.
She frowned, feeling a little confused.
"Competition start!" Li Xianrong gave the order.
"Ah Zhen, let's run!" Ye Mu Xin shouted, pulling Ye Zhen's hand and quickly running.
But the others were even faster, especially the disciples of the Holy Sect. They had already disappeared at the entrance of the Stairway to Heaven.
Ye Zhen took a look when the disciples of the Holy Sect ran up the Stairway to Heaven, and she saw a familiar face.
Chou Hen!
The person flying at the front was clearly Chou Hen!
"It's really him?" Ye Zhen was shocked. How could Chou Hen be among the new disciples? She wanted to take a closer look, but he had already disappeared.
Hearing Ye Zhen's words, Ye Mu Xin asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"
Before Ye Zhen could answer, the two of them were separated by the people behind.
She wanted to find Chou Hen! Ye Zhen thought in her heart. Her spiritual energy suddenly exploded, and she sped up. She could see very clearly that that person was Chou Hen.
There were already dozens of people on the Stairway to Heaven. Ye Zhen didn't walk very fast at the beginning, so she fell behind a lot. Now, in order to find Chou Hen, she finally ran with all her strength. At the beginning, everyone was flying very fast, but later on, they slowed down.
Ye Zhen just wanted to find Chou Hen!
She also felt the pressure, as if something was stopping her from moving forward.
"Who are you?" A young man appeared beside Ye Zhen. His clothes were the same as Ye Zhen's, and it was obvious that he was a disciple of the Holy Sect.
Ye Zhen glanced at him, and only felt that he looked unfamiliar. She had never seen him before, so she didn't pay much attention to him.
"I've never seen you before, and I've never heard that the Supreme Venerable accepted a disciple. How did you know the Supreme Venerable?" The young man asked again. All the disciples of the Holy Sect knew what kind of existence the Supreme Venerable was, but they also knew that the Supreme Venerable never accepted a disciple. Who was this young man, and how did he change his mind?
"I'm not the Supreme Venerable's disciple." Ye Zhen said indifferently. She felt many jealous gazes around her, and only then did she realise that she had unknowingly caught up to the Stairway to Heaven.
She turned around and saw that Ye Muxin was right behind her.
Everyone's speed had obviously slowed down because the pressure was increasing. It seemed like someone in front of them had fallen.
Ye Zhen's expression became solemn.
"Senior Brother Xiao, there's no need to pay attention to this kind of person. He will definitely not be able to reach the top." A young woman said to that man.
"We're all disciples of the same sect. Why are you bickering over who's better?" Ye Muxin furrowed her brows and shouted at the girl, "Our Great Sage Sect was originally in a weak position. If we don't unite, we would have already been eliminated by the other sects."
The man suddenly shook, as if he had been enlightened. "Junior-apprentice Sister Ye is right, I was too narrow-minded."
He took a deep look at Ye Zhen. "Little brother, we will meet again."
After saying that, he stimulated his spiritual power with all his might, wanting to rush up. Unfortunately, the higher he went, the heavier the spiritual pressure became. Moreover, phantoms began to appear to block them. These phantoms were illusory yet real. If they were attacked by them, their bodies would still be injured.
The Sun Controlling Whip appeared in Ye Zhen's hand, dispersing all the shadows in front of her. Very quickly, she left the rest of the Great Sage Sect members behind her.
"Her speed is actually so fast?" Xiao Lin looked at Ye Zhen's back in shock. She obviously looked so weak and fragile. How could she have such speed?
"Junior-apprentice Brother Xiao, don't let others affect you." Ye Muxin said to Xiao Lin and flew past him.
All of Ye Zhen's thoughts were on finding Qiu Hui. She didn't care how many people were watching her.
She didn't know that her speed had become a terrifying thing in the eyes of everyone.
Not only in the eyes of the Great Sage Sect, but the disciples of the other sects had also begun to notice her.
Qiu Hui!
I see him! Ye Zhen's heart was filled with joy. Finally, she used all her strength to catch up. At the very front of the Stairway to Heaven was Qiu Hui.
He was the first person. The distance between him and the people behind him was very large. No one could catch up to him. In the eyes of others, this disciple of the Great Sage Sect was a genius that no one could compare to.
Qiu Hui, who was about to reach the top, revealed a satisfied smile. He had experienced this Stairway to Heaven countless times. He knew all the obstacles and how to avoid them. When he was training in the past, he was just a normal disciple. He spent more than ten times the effort of others to reach the position of Sect Leader.
This time, he was in the Great Sage Sect as a genius. He received the expectations of the Sect Leader and the Elders. This feeling was great. His achievements would definitely be better than before.
Of course, he wouldn't let anyone know that he was Qiu Hui. This was the decision he made after returning to the Xuantian Continent.
He had originally planned to return to the Great Sage Sect and take back the position that belonged to him. But his cultivation … so he chose to start from the beginning. He wanted to be a new disciple that received the attention of everyone and become the pillar of the Great Sage Sect in the future.
"Qiu Hui!" Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind.
What? Who called him?
Chou Hen turned his head to look. Suddenly, he remembered something. In the Xuantian Continent, no one knew that he was named Chou Hen.
Someone actually caught up to him! Qiu Hui was shocked. He was very familiar with the Stairway to Heaven and suppressed his strength to have such speed. How could this young man catch up to him?
"Qiu Hui, stop!" Ye Zhen sped up. Just as she was about to catch up to Qiu Hui, a sword mountain suddenly appeared in front of her. She hurriedly used her spiritual power as a barrier and her speed was pulled down again.
Qiu Hui heard clearly that the other person was calling his name. He stopped and looked at the young man with a gloomy gaze. Seeing that he avoided the sword mountain, his cultivation was not weak. Qiu Hui immediately wanted to kill him.
He was sure that he had never seen this young man before. How did he know who he was?
Ye Zhen blocked the flying sword with great difficulty. Her arm was injured, but she couldn't care about healing it. She flew in front of Qiu Hui. "Qiu Hui!"
"Who the hell are you?" Qiu Hui's eyes were cold. Seeing that the other disciples were still a distance away, they shouldn't have heard this young man calling him.
The man in front of her wearing the clothes of a Great Sage Sect disciple was indeed Qiu Hui whom Ye Zhen had seen in the human world. Although she didn't understand why he became a disciple, she finally found him.
"Where is Mingxi?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
"How did you know …" Qiu Hui's face finally changed completely. "Who the hell are you?"
Ye Zhen looked at him angrily. It was because of this person that she was separated from her family. If it wasn't for him, she would still be happily with her family in the human world.
