Elder Wan's unchanged old face finally changed at this moment. His turbid eyes flickered with a sharp light as if they could see through everything.
He wanted to see through the young man, but there seemed to be a mysterious veil shrouding him, blocking his thoughts.
"Titular disciple?"
The moment he said that, the surrounding crowd fell silent. Even their breathing quieted down. It was as silent as stagnant water.
Their faces were sluggish and their minds were buzzing. The name Flaming Yangzi echoed in their ears and refused to fade away.
No one could imagine that this person was not an in-name disciple or a personal disciple, but a titular disciple!
This was undoubtedly a shocking piece of news that shocked everyone. No one spoke as they stared at the young man in white in disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
"He's actually a titular disciple?!"
After a brief silence, a commotion broke out.
"Aren't there only Senior Brother 'Fire Cicadas' Zhang Jian and Senior Sister 'Luo Shenzi' Chu Yiyan among the titular disciples? When did Yan Yangzi appear?! "
"Ever since Senior Sister Chu was conferred the title of Luo Shenzi five years ago, there hasn't been another titular disciple. Now, there's actually one more titular disciple without anyone noticing?!"
The surrounding crowd discussed animatedly and came to a realization. No wonder he was fearless when facing Gongzi Yu and threatened to kill him in one strike. It turned out that he was confident enough.
This was a titular disciple!
Among the existences above the True Disciples and Personal Disciples, which one of them wasn't a terrifying existence? Which one of them wasn't a peerless genius? Which one of them wasn't the blazing sun of their sect?
Now, they were also the best of the younger generation of the Azure Dragon Continent. How could they care about a mere personal disciple? They would kill him easily.
The people in the core disciple area finally understood why they did not accept the burly man's challenge. It was a waste of time!
"Big Brother is very powerful. If you don't believe me, try it!"
Now that they recalled Xiao Budian's words, no one dared to mock him anymore. With such a titular disciple in front of them, he was like an unattainable mountain. It would be strange if he wasn't powerful!
"Um … Senior Brother Yan Yangzi, I would like to solemnly apologize for my previous actions." The large man walked out from the crowd. There was a trace of embarrassment on his rough face.
"What behavior?"
Everyone couldn't help but ask.
The large man's old face turned red as he stammered, "Just … Just now, when Senior Brother Yan Yangzi passed by, I … I challenged him … to a fight!"
"Haha! You actually dare to challenge a titular disciple. How humorous and domineering! "Everyone laughed and teased.
"That … Senior Brother Yan Yangzi, I also want to apologize to you for the previous matter. Please don't be angry. I won't dare to do it again. I will definitely take you as an example to be a good person and do things properly." Shan Youde weakly opened his mouth. His chubby face twitched and turned ashen.
"What? Shan Youde is also targeting a titular disciple? "
Everyone stared at the fatty strangely. His shameless actions were known by all the disciples in the sect. None of the new disciples had not been deceived by him. His notoriety had long spread far and wide.
As the saying went, one would be pecked by the goose after hitting a goose all day long. One would be bitten by the snake after hitting a snake all day long. Now, the fatty had offended a titular disciple and stirred up a hornet's nest. His future would be difficult!
Wutian watched coldly from the side and couldn't help but sigh. Status and strength were indeed the rules of survival.
Some of them were the ones who mocked him when he faced Gongzi Yu. However, at this moment, they were respectfully standing at the side. There were even some who flattered him.
He shook his head at the large man and the fatty. His meaning was obvious. He wouldn't be calculative. Then, he looked at the old man and said, "Elder Wan, can we change?"
"Yes … yes!" Elder Wan hurriedly said.
"So he is the First Elder's disciple!"
Elder Wan thought to himself. Two nights ago, when the First Elder asked for the Merit Badge, he was still wondering who Yan Yangzi was to be chosen by the First Elder. It turned out that he was the young man that he had overlooked previously.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. I'm old and my eyes are bad!"
He sighed and shot a ray of light from his finger into the Merit Badge. He then handed it over. "The merits are recorded. Check it."
Wutian received the Merit Badge and sent his consciousness into it. A few lines of words appeared.
Merit Badge Owner: Yan Yangzi.
Merit points: 10,400 points!
Before leaving, Wutian took out four fangs of the Fiery Demon Scorpion and a few thighs. He exchanged them for a total of fifty merits and gave them to Shan Youde!
It was useless for him to keep these things. He might as well give them to someone else as a favor.
"Thanks!" Wutian thanked him and pulled the little girl towards the Scripture Depository.
"Thank me?"
The fatty stood on the spot motionlessly. His fat face was filled with suspicion. He thought that he would be scolded or taken revenge. Who would have thought that he would be given fifty merits instead?
"What's going on?"
The few red-robed youths beside him were also confused. They stared at the fatty with unfriendly gazes, wanting him to tell them honestly. Did he do something good behind their backs?
The fatty smiled and strode out proudly under everyone's envious gazes.
50 merit points might not be much to personal disciples and titular disciples and was a piece of cake. However, for core disciples, it was a considerable sum. Judging from the situation of the green-robed woman previously, it was clear how rare it was. Therefore, they were envious and jealous!
Furthermore, there was a deeper meaning. Since he was giving the fatty merits, the two of them must know each other or have some sort of relationship.
In the future, when I see that damned fatty, I can't be like before. I have to treat him well. Many people thought to themselves.
Wutian would not have expected that his unintentional actions would push Shan Youde to an existence that could not be trifled with.
The news of the appearance of the third titular disciple spread through the entire sect before long. Not only were the disciples shocked, even the enforcers, disciplinary elders and imparting elders were shocked.
The status of titular disciples was extraordinarily high. Apart from the Grand Elder and the sect itself, they could be said to be in control of the sect. In fact, even the nine elders had to be respectful to them.
That was because they were the blazing suns, the hope of Yan Sect's future. They were the representatives of Yan Sect among the younger generation of Azure Dragon Continent and the successors of the next Grand Elder and Sect Master!
The 99 Grotto-Heavens were shrouded in mist and essence qi surged, turning into auspicious beasts that galloped through the mountain streams like an immortal mountain.
In the first abode in the center, the floor was covered with diamonds, emitting a hazy golden glow. The walls were inlaid with agate stones and colorful pearls, as if they were scattered all over the place. It was beautiful beyond compare and majestic!
This place did not look like a cave abode. Instead, it looked more like a luxurious palace. It was more than 2,000 feet tall and there were all sorts of rare treasures placed around. Any single item would be fought over amongst core disciples. However, here, they were merely decorations.
A black-robed young man stood in the middle of the cave abode with his head lowered and said respectfully, "Senior Brother Fire Cicadas, there's another titular disciple in the sect. His name is Yan Yangzi and I heard that he's the disciple of the Grand Elder. He was conferred the title personally by the Grand Elder as well. Look …"
In front of the black-robed young man, there was a golden chair with dragons and phoenixes carved on it. It was extremely extraordinary and a figure sat on it with a lotus position. Flames spread and covered his entire body, making it impossible to see him clearly.
That person had an extremely strong aura. Beneath the light, one could vaguely make out a pair of eyes that seemed to be made of flames as well. Endless flames surged from them in a frightening manner!
He was Zhang Jian, the eldest disciple of the Sect Master and the titular Fire Cicadas!
He was like a fire god as strands of flames rose from his body and emitted a shocking temperature that rolled out in all directions. The black-robed young man was shocked and his entire body was covered in sweat. His clothes were quickly drenched.
Every time he came, he could feel that Senior Brother Zhang Jian's strength had increased by another step. As expected of the number one disciple in the sect. Yan Yangzi, who was the talk of the town, was nothing in front of Senior Brother Zhang Jian.
Hearing this, the Fire Cicadas went silent as if he was thinking. After a moment, a faint but majestic voice sounded out, "Is there anything else?"
"Yan Yangzi killed Gongzi Yu in one move without using his full strength. I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes. Moreover, there's a little girl beside him. I think she's called Li Shishi. She's only 11 or 12 years old but has a rare Light Spirit Body. She's also the Grand Elder's disciple."
The black-robed young man paused for a moment before continuing, "Rumor has it that Li Shishi just entered the sect a few days ago and has a Demon Frog beside her. It's said that she's the sister and spiritual pet of the Fire Cloud Sect's traitor, Wutian, a disciple of Ironstone Town."
"Hmm? What about that person? " As high level figures, they knew the situation of the enemy sect like the back of their hand. Naturally, they knew about Wutian's matter.
The young man spoke truthfully, "According to the rumor, Wutian saved the Ironstone Town's disciples and fought with the Fire Cloud Sect's Huo Shi, Liu Yan, and a Law Enforcement Elder. He killed the three of them one by one, but he was heavily injured. When the Grand Elder arrived, he was already dead. Therefore, to repay his kindness, he accepted Li Shishi and the Demon Frog."
Fire Cicadas pondered for a moment and said, "Yan Yangzi is the Grand Elder's disciple. Don't provoke him. Just send someone to watch him in the dark. Has Chu Yiyan made any movements recently?"
"She's been cultivating in the cave and hasn't appeared."
"En, pay attention. If there's any movement, immediately report to me. You can leave now."
"Yes!" The black-robed young man respectfully replied. He then turned around and walked out of the cave, disappearing into the mountain stream.
"Yan Yangzi … Wutian …"
In the cave, a murmur spread out and gradually disappeared. After that, there was no longer any sound. It was dead silent!
In a mountain beside Fire Cicada's abode, there was another abode of the same size. However, this place was not paved with diamonds or inlaid with agate and pearls. It was neither grand nor extravagant. On the contrary, there was a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
Dozens of fist-sized luminous pearls hung on the four walls. They emitted a hazy luster that was gentle but not dazzling.
On both sides, there were all kinds of flowers and plants. The grass was lush and the flowers were in full bloom. A faint fragrance filled the entire cave, intoxicating people!
A black-robed woman stood in the middle of the flowers. She bowed and said, "Senior Sister Chu, this is what happened."
In front of her was a screen embroidered with all kinds of strange birds and auspicious beasts. They seemed to be alive, as if they were about to fly out of the screen. Dense steam rose and multicolored light overflowed. It could be said to be a work of art that excelled the heavens.
"En, just pay close attention. Advise the others not to cause trouble. Leave now!"
Behind the screen, a pleasant and melodious voice came out. It was like a yellow oriole that left the valley. The voice of the oriole lingered in the air for three days, lingering in the air!
This voice was really pleasant to listen to. It was like the sound of nature. If a male disciple was here, he would definitely be distracted and couldn't help but want to see her beauty.
This kind of place was very suitable for cultivation. The Profound Qi was as boundless as the ocean. It was like a celestial cave left behind by an immortal. It was really enviable.
The black-robed woman looked around. Her beautiful eyes were filled with envy. Then, she quickly retreated. The cave quickly quieted down and no more movement came out.
