"The Sect Master wants to see you. I'll bring you to the Munchū's main hall. You don't have to be afraid of anything there. Master will be there." Elder Gu Qingyang patted his chest as he spoke. His white hair and beard fluttered in the wind.
It was a huge mountain surrounded by towering peaks.
The mountain peak was surrounded by clouds and mist. The mountain range in the distance was majestic and boundless. The surroundings were lush and green. Within the mountain stream, there was a gurgling stream. It was full of vitality.
At the peak of the mountain, there was a majestic main hall. It was bathed in the morning light. It was like a huge ferocious beast standing on the mountain peak.
When Du Shaofu arrived at the main hall after looking around, he saw that there were many figures sitting in the main hall.
Invisible auras fluctuated from the figures, causing the space in the main hall to freeze. That aura made people want to crawl on the ground.
Du Shaofu looked over and saw many familiar figures.
Elder Kong Zhonglei, Hu Sankun, Elder Qiang Mingze and the others were among them. There were also many old men. Their auras were extremely powerful. There were even some whose auras were stronger than Elder Sun and the others.
With Du Shaofu's arrival, all eyes in the main hall fell on Du Shaofu. Some were curious, some were confused, and some were complicated.
"Shaofu, the person in the middle is our Ancient Heaven Sect's Sect Master. Hurry up and greet him."
After Elder Gu Qingyang finished speaking to Du Shaofu, he walked up to the main hall and sat down on the chair in the middle.
Du Shaofu raised his head slightly and looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the main hall. His body was thin, but he was extremely sturdy.
The middle-aged man wore a green robe with green embroidery. His long black hair was neatly combed into a bun. A few strands of hair fell down from his ears. There was a hint of elegance in his dignified appearance. He was similar to Sima Muhan. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.
Beside the middle-aged man, Du Shaofu also saw a familiar woman standing beside the middle-aged man. Her figure was slender, and she wore a pair of embroidered shoes with soft fox fur sewn on them. On her jade-like wrists, she wore two bracelets that shone with white light. It was Sima Muhan.
"Du Shaofu greets Senior Brother Sect Master and all the Elders present."
Du Shaofu bowed to the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the main hall. Du Shaofu couldn't even sense a trace of the man's aura. To be able to sit at the head of the main hall, Du Shaofu didn't even need to guess to know that the middle-aged man was the current Ancient Heaven Sect Master, Sima Taking.
However, as soon as Du Shaofu finished speaking, the gazes of the people in the main hall suddenly fluctuated. Senior Brother Sect Master, this title definitely had a special meaning in the Central Continent. With this identity, he could do whatever he wanted in the Central Continent.
"Boy, how dare you! Although Elder Gu Qingyang intends to accept you as a disciple, you can't be disrespectful in front of the Sect Master. The Munchū hasn't officially acknowledged you as Elder Gu Qingyang's disciple."
An old man in his seventies, who was dressed in grey and white and had long black hair combed into a bun, immediately reprimanded Du Shaofu. He didn't want Du Shaofu to really become the Sect Master's Junior Brother. If that happened, it would be difficult to punish him.
As soon as the old man called Yuan Buxiu finished speaking, Elder Gu Qingyang immediately shouted, "Yuan Buxiu, what do you mean? Isn't it just because your disciple Si Ruofeng was taught a lesson? With your status, why do you have to embarrass a junior?"
"Alright, Elders, don't lose your poise in front of a junior."
Sima Taxing was helpless. He knew the temper of his Martial Uncle, Elder Gu Qingyang. If he quarreled with Elder Yuan Buxiu, it would be troublesome.
As soon as Sima Taxing's voice fell, Elder Yuan Buxiu, who originally wanted to say something, could only hold back in the end.
"Du Shaofu, I heard that this time in the Giant Rock Space, you gathered a lot of inner sect disciples, besieged and seriously injured a Bronze List disciple, and snatched his energy copper talisman. Is this true?"
Sima Taking Xing sized up Du Shaofu. His expression remained unchanged, but a deep, glass-like light flashed in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Sect Master, this is completely groundless. The rumor is wrong."
Du Shaofu shook his head and said to Sima Taxing, "If Senior Brother Sect Master doesn't believe it, Sima Muhan knows best. Senior Brother Sect Master can ask her."
"Du Shaofu, you …"
Seeing that Du Shaofu had actually kicked the ball directly to her, Sima Muhan immediately glared at Du Shaofu fiercely. That guy really did not have good intentions.
"Du Shaofu, you're just quibbling. Then tell me, how did the injuries on the Bronze List disciples come about?"
An elder with an ugly expression could not help but ask. His disciple, Xu Qing, had been beaten up miserably.
"Elder, the injuries of the people on the bronze board should be due to their lack of cultivation, so they were injured by others." Du Shaofu turned to the side and replied to the elder who spoke, his attitude neither servile nor overbearing.
"What a joke. The Bronze List disciples' cultivation is insufficient in front of you. If you hadn't gathered hundreds of new inner sect disciples to besiege them, how could the Bronze List disciples be inferior to you?"
The elder who had just spoken retorted. All the elders present knew that the new disciples would not be able to contend against the Bronze List disciples.
Du Shaofu was still rather indifferent as he replied, "Elder, if you don't believe me, you can find the people on the Bronze List to fight with me on the Sky Martial Plaza. Then, we'll know whether it's true or not."
"You …"
That elder seemed like he wanted to say something, but he was unable to speak.
Actually, he had also heard about how terrifying Du Shaofu was last night. Even Yin Mochen had not been able to do anything to that young brat in two hours. If he asked the other people on the Bronze List to fight with that brat, they would definitely not have an advantage.
"He Chuan, what do you think? If you're not convinced, then let your disciple, Xu Qing, come to the Sky Martial Plaza." Elder Gu Qingyang chuckled.
The elder called He Chuan by Elder Gu Qingyang looked at Elder Gu Qingyang and did not dare to say anything. He then continued to look at Du Shaofu and said, "Then it's a fact that you snatched the bronze energy talisman from the Bronze List disciples, right?"
"Of course it's a fact."
Du Shaofu did not deny it and said, "But as far as I know, the Munchū does not have any rules that say that new disciples cannot snatch the bronze energy talismans from the Bronze List disciples. They can only be snatched by those on the Bronze List."
After pausing for a moment, Du Shaofu glanced at the elders present. He was still neither servile nor overbearing as he said with a calm expression, "If only the Bronze List disciples can snatch and humiliate the new inner sect disciples in the Giant Rock Space, and the new inner sect disciples cannot fight back, then why bother training in the Giant Rock Space? You might as well just give the bronze energy talismans to the Bronze List disciples from the start. Is this what the elders want?"
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, some of the elders present changed their expressions. Some had complicated gazes, and some wanted to say something.
But no matter how many times they opened their mouths, they did not say anything in the end.
"That makes sense. I wonder if any of the elders have anything else to say?"
Sima Taxing smiled and looked at the elders in the hall. He said, "The Giant Rock Space can train the new inner sect disciples as well as the Bronze List disciples. This is the true purpose of the ancestors of the Munchū when they built the Giant Rock Space. In the future, the new inner sect disciples and the Bronze List disciples should train each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Taxing looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Du Shaofu, you broke the rules in the Giant Rock Space as well. It's wrong to rob all the energy copper talismans of the disciples on the Bronze Rankings, so you should be punished …"
"Senior Brother Master, the rules …"
Du Shaofu immediately lost his temper after hearing this. But before he could finish, Sima Taxing interrupted Du Shaofu and said, "Little guy, listen to me first. Since you don't know the rules and the rules didn't clearly state it, you can't be blamed for this matter. However, you must bear the responsibility."
Sima Taxing smiled and said, "How about this? In six days, all 128 of you will compete in the next round on the Tianwu Square. If you can take first place at that time, this matter will be treated as if it never happened. At the same time, the Munchū will reward you with a high-grade Dao Tool.
But if you can't take first place, then all the bronze energy talismans you plundered in the Giant Rock Space as well as the bronze energy talismans plundered by the new inner sect disciples will have to be taken out. At the same time, you will lose all the rewards of the Munchū. "
"Junior Brother, this is not fair."
Elder Gu Qingyang immediately protested. If he took first place, he knew that Sima Muhan was a monster. It was absolutely not an easy thing to defeat Sima Muhan.
"Martial Uncle Qingyang, this matter is settled. If Du Shaofu doesn't even have this little ability, then he doesn't deserve to be your disciple. What do you say?"
Sima Taxing smiled at Elder Gu Qingyang and said, "Martial Uncle, don't you have confidence in your disciple?"
Elder Gu Qingyang clenched his teeth and nodded, "Who says I don't have confidence in my disciple? If he takes first place, then so be it." After Elder Gu Qingyang finished speaking, he deliberately gave Du Shaofu a look of support.
"It seems that Master can't be provoked." Du Shaofu bitterly smiled. His master had sold him out with just a provocation.
"Well, Du Shaofu, Muhan, you two go down first. I still have something to discuss with the elders." Sima Taxing said to Du Shaofu and Sima Muhan beside him.
