Overbearing!
Xu Zijing had a high status in the Cloud Rising Sect. Apart from the core disciples and the elder in green, only Feng Zilu had a higher status than him. Now that Ning Qi had suddenly appeared, he was in a bad mood.
"Haha, why do you call me senior brother?"
Zong Yin looked at Xu Zijing with a faint smile. He had a feud with Xu Zijing before and their relationship wasn't very good.
"What? Are you going to suck up to him just because his cultivation speed is faster than others? Who knows if he hid his cultivation level or even his age before he joined the sect? "
Xu Zijing sneered. Everyone's faces immediately revealed a trace of suspicion when they heard this because Xu Zijing's words clearly meant that Ning Qi could be a spy sent by other clans or sects.
"Right, I forgot to tell you that Senior Brother Ning has been accepted as a core disciple by the Lamp Elder of the Withered Bones Forbidden Ground. Therefore, he is a core disciple. According to the sect rules, shouldn't we call him senior brother?"
Zong Yin smiled.
Core disciple?
Everyone was shocked and quickly bowed to Ning Qi, calling him senior brother. Feng Zilu was no exception.
At this moment, Xu Zijing's face was very pale. He glanced at Ning Qi in disbelief. Finally, he reluctantly bowed and said, "Senior Brother Ning."
Ning Qi glanced at him indifferently and ignored Xu Zijing. Instead, he smiled at Zong Yin and the others and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, none of you were in the sect before, and it will take a few days for us to reach the Kingdom of the Nine States. Why don't you tell us what happened to each of you to pass the time?"
"Alright."
Feng Zilu nodded with a smile.
"Damn it! He dared to ignore me! "
Xu Zijing's face turned red and white.
Then, Ning Qi, Feng Zilu, and the other inner disciples got to know each other very well. Only Xu Zijing stood at the side, sulking. Perhaps he had offended too many people in the sect, so no one paid attention to him. Zong Yin was secretly happy when he saw this.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
The battleship landed directly at the southern gate of the Jiuzhou Empire's capital city. At the same time, several other battleships landed one after another. It seemed that they were also one of the thirty-six top sects that had come to participate in the ranking competition.
The Sky Sword Marquis stood on the city wall, coldly watching the battleships land. He did not have a good impression of the ranking competition. Every time it came to this, all sorts of troublesome things would appear in the capital. As the highest ranked person in the southern gate, he would sometimes have to pay for these things.
Ning Qi and the others followed behind Deng Tong and Nu Tao, getting off the battleship. Deng Tong then waved his hand and the battleship shrank, falling into his sleeve.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over. This person was over nine feet tall, and a faint smile hung on his face. Behind him were ten young men and women whose cultivation was similar to Zong Yin's group, as well as three or four Dou Zong level Managing Elders.
"Jade Pill Sect's first elder, Huang Haitao?"
Ning Qi narrowed his eyes.
He had seen this middle-aged man in the Water Dragon Sacred City.
Before coming, Ning Qi had already gathered the information. Among the thirty-six top sects, the Jade Pill Sect was definitely one of the top three. Its strength was much stronger than the Cloud Rising Sect. Just the number of Dou Shengs they had was nine! This was only on the surface. It was unknown if there were any undying old monsters hiding in the dark.
"Elder Huang."
Deng Tong's expression changed slightly when he saw Huang Haitao. It was a little ugly, but he still cupped his hands together and greeted him politely.
Huang Haitao laughed softly and swept his eyes over everyone. When he saw Ning Qi, his eyes moved slightly. He felt that this person was a little familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen him. After discovering that Ning Qi was only a one star Dou Zong, he did not pay much attention and treated him as an ordinary Managing Elder.
"Deng Tong, your Cloud Rising Sect has only brought these few fellows to participate in the ranking competition? Not even an eighth level Dou Huang? "
Huang Haitao revealed a mocking smile.
Ning Qi's expression changed when he heard this. Huang Haitao had mocked him the moment they met. It was likely that he did not have a good relationship with the Cloud Rising Sect.
Deng Tong laughed dryly and said, "Elder Huang, our Cloud Rising Sect cannot be compared to your Jade Pill Sect. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."
After saying this, he gestured to everyone and directly walked towards the southern gate.
However, in the next moment, Huang Haitao's figure moved and appeared in front of Deng Tong. He stopped him and said with a slight smile, "Don't be so anxious. Have you forgotten that my Jade Pill Sect has to make a bet with your Cloud Rising Sect in every ranking competition? This year is no exception. How about this, if you can obtain the 34th place, I will lose and give you 50,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals, and vice versa. What do you think? "
"50,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals?"
Deng Tong's face turned green.
This was already equivalent to the price of a Lower Heaven Level Dou Weapon. Although there had been bets in previous years, it was at most 5,000 or 10,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals. Every time, the Cloud Rising Sect would suffer a crushing defeat. This time, the other party had actually asked for 50,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals. It was obvious that they were trying to take advantage of the situation!
"Elder Huang, you must be joking. Let's follow the rules from previous years and bet 10,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals."
Deng Tong smiled. He knew that the bet was unavoidable, but at least he could minimize his losses.
The moment he said this, the elders and inner disciples of the Jade Pill Sect laughed softly.
On the Cloud Rising Sect's side, with Wu Hu as the leader, the elders and inner disciples all glared angrily at the other party.
The atmosphere on both sides seemed to be a little tense. The surrounding passersby stopped in their tracks to watch the show.
On the tall building, Marquis Tian Jian originally had a gloating expression as he watched this scene. However, when he saw Ning Qi, his expression changed.
"This person has broken through to the Dou Zong realm?"
When Marquis Tian Jian realized that Ning Qi's cultivation was already a one star Dou Zong, a look of shock appeared on his face. He remembered that the last time he saw Ning Qi, he was only a peak Dou Huang!
"10,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals? Are you trying to send a beggar away? "
Huang Haitao looked at Deng Tong with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
"Elder Deng, since they want to bet, our Cloud Rising Sect will do it. What is there to be afraid of?"
Ning Qi suddenly said.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Everyone looked at Ning Qi. Nu Tao was furious. "What right do you have to speak? Step down!"
Ning Qi smiled and looked at Nu Tao. He ignored him and looked at Deng Tong.
"Sigh, Senior Ning is young and impetuous. Our Cloud Rising Sect has never won a bet with the Jade Pill Sect. If we lose 50,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals this time, our cultivation resources will be reduced by another 20%!"
"Haha, Ning Qi, let's see how you deal with this!"
