Mount Shu Sect was located in the mountains of Western Sichuan. The mountains were steep and difficult to traverse. Without the protection of the immortal array, ordinary people could not reach here.
On this trip to Mount Shu, Gu Zheng brought Gu An and a dozen other Emei Sect disciples along with the two elders, Wuyou and Wuchou. Although Emei Sect was in decline, it was easy to be laughed at in the gathering of the branch sects.
Mount Shu was a real big sect. There were five branches under it: Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Purple Cloud Palace, Spirit Sword Sect and Situ Family.
Among the branches, the most powerful was Spirit Sword Sect, followed by Qingcheng Sect, the most mysterious Purple Cloud Palace, the Situ Family that was rooted in the secular world, and finally, the Emei Sect that Gu Zheng was in.
The ranking meeting between the branches of Mount Shu was held once every ten years. According to common sense, since it was a ranking meeting, there must be rewards corresponding to the ranking.
There were two kinds of rewards, but neither of them were substantial cultivation resources. Among the two kinds of rewards, the most important one was the qualification to enter the "Shu Ruins" of Mount Shu.
The Shu Ruins was a separate space. It was said that it was a battlefield in the Prosperous Era. Later, due to various reasons, the Shu Ruins was closed and could only be opened once every ten years. Each time, it would only be open for a month, and the number of people who could enter was limited to thirty.
There were mountains and rivers in the Shu Ruins. The environment was like a deep mountain forest that no one had set foot in, and there were many rare birds and spirit beasts.
Those who had entered the Shu Ruins weren't there to cultivate. Instead, they had to make the best use of their time within a month to search for various cultivation resources.
Being born in the Dharma Ending Era, where all kinds of cultivation resources were scarce, the Shu Ruins was undoubtedly an attractive treasure for cultivators.
A person could only enter the Shu Ruins once in his life. If he wanted to enter a second time, he would be rejected by the laws of the Shu Ruins.
Although the Shu Ruins did not have any restrictions on the cultivation level of cultivators, it was not a safe place. Therefore, those who could enter the Shu Ruins from various sects had to be at least Level Four or above.
Out of the 30 spots to enter Shu Ruins, Shu Mountain Sect occupied 15 of them. As for the other 15 spots, although Shu Mountain Sect did not participate in the competition, their branch sects had to obtain them through ranking.
According to the rankings, the first ranked sect would have five spots, the second ranked sect would have four spots, the third ranked sect would have three spots, the fourth ranked sect would have two spots, and the last sect would have one spot.
Emei had once been glorious and occupied five spots for a long period of time. However, its gradual decline also caused the number of spots it held to decrease gradually. For as long as Elder Wuyou and Elder Wuchou could remember, Mount Emei had always been at the bottom of the rankings. Therefore, they only had one slot to enter the Shu Ruins.
It was also because of this decline that the Emei Sect had already withdrawn from the competition for rankings before the two elders, Wuyou and Wuchou. They only wanted the last guaranteed spot. There was another important reason for this situation, and it was related to the rules of the ranking competition.
The competition for rankings was a challenge. If one wanted to obtain more spots, they could only challenge the sect that was ranked at the top. In such a challenge, they needed to send three people to fight against the three challenged sects. The winner of two out of three matches would determine whether the sect would advance or not.
Although the level of cultivators was restricted from participating in the competition, the Emei Sect was undoubtedly in an awkward position when faced with such a ranking system. Before the two elders, Wuyou and Wuchou, they could not even gather three fifth layer cultivators at one time. As for the other sects that corresponded to the Emei Sect, they basically had more than three fifth layer cultivators at the later stage of the fifth layer.
After walking for a long time in the deep mountains, Gu Zheng and the others finally arrived at their destination.
In front of them was a lingering fog, which was within the range of the Mountain Guarding Formation. Even if there were explorers here, they would get lost once they entered.
Under normal circumstances, when one came to Mount Shu, one needed to shout out their identity while standing outside the formation. However, now that it was the time of the Ranking Competition, Mount Shu had also arranged for a special disciple to receive them. As soon as Gu Zheng and the others arrived, a Taoist child came out of the fog to greet them.
Following the Taoist child into the formation, after a full five minutes of twists and turns, their line of sight finally became clear. The fog that had originally covered the sky completely disappeared without a trace. What appeared in front of Gu Zheng and the others was a bluestone mountain gate that was 90 feet high. The two words "Mount Shu" were forcefully engraved on it.
Looking through the mountain gate, there was an endless bluestone staircase that seemed to go straight to the top of the mountain. All the plants and trees inside the mountain gate looked more verdant than those in the outside world.
The air was so fresh that people could not help but want to take a deep breath. A few unknown birds with long colorful feathers flew in from outside the mountain gate. Their cries were crisp and melodious, adding a sense of immortality to Mount Shu.
"Master Martial Uncle, how do you feel?"
Seeing Gu Zheng take a deep breath with a slight intoxication, the Taoist child asked with a smile.
"Although it is the Age of Dharma Ending, Mount Shu is still a rare spiritual place in the world. This alone is not something that Emei can compare with."
Although the Taoist child's smile was somewhat smug, Gu Zheng still told the truth.
"I have never been to Emei, but Master Martial Uncle must be telling the truth. He is much more honest than some people from other sects."
Obviously, he was very satisfied with Gu Zheng's answer, and the smile on the Taoist child's face became wider.
"Lead the way!"
Seeing that the Taoist child seemed to want to talk to Gu Zheng again, Elder Wuchou urged him.
The Taoist child was only eleven or twelve years old. Although he grew up in the strict Mount Shu, it was still difficult to get rid of the childishness in his bones. Seeing that Gu Zheng was a Sect Master at such a young age, and always spoke in a friendly manner, unlike the previous Sect Masters who had received him before, the Taoist child would intentionally or unintentionally talk to Gu Zheng along the way. During this time, he even revealed a hint of curiosity about the outside world.
The crowd continued to follow the Taoist child up the stairs. In front of them was still a quiet and secluded landscape, unlike the grand occasions in the secular world where everywhere was filled with lanterns and colored banners. The tranquility of Mount Shu seemed to have remained unchanged since ancient times. As the crowd continued to climb higher, the fragrance in the air that made people feel relaxed and happy gradually became clearer.
"Huff huff …"
Gu Zheng could not help but stop in his tracks. His nostrils flared as he carefully savored the unique fragrance in the air.
"What's the matter, Sect Master?"
Elder Wuchou's cultivation was still at the middle of the fifth level. It was reasonable to say that if there was any special smell in the air, he should be able to smell it before Gu Zheng. But what he did not know was that Gu Zheng's five senses had been strengthened by the willpower of fifty thousand people. It was not only his sense of smell that was sharper than his.
"Sect Master, did you smell a refreshing fragrance?"
Elder Wuyou seemed to have understood something. The Taoist child was so shocked that his eyes widened. Although he was not old, he lived in a sect like Mount Shu after all. He was influenced by many things on a daily basis.
"Mount Shu's Nether Cloud Incense, the fragrance spreads for eight miles. A furnace can burn for a day. Only when the Sect Master succeeds the position, or during grand occasions like this, will Mount Shu burn a furnace of Nether Cloud Incense every day to show its solemnity. This place is still at the edge of the Nether Cloud Incense's fragrance. Sect Master Martial Uncle actually smelled it? To be able to smell the Nether Cloud Incense here, one's cultivation should be at least at the middle of the fifth level! "
"I'm talented in the sense of smell, so it's not surprising that I smelled it."
Gu Zheng laughed, and then changed the topic, "However, Mount Shu's Nether Cloud Incense is indeed very special. This is the best incense I've ever smelled. The fragrance is elegant and not greasy, and it can spread so far. This is not something that secular incense can compare to!"
Although he changed the topic, Gu Zheng was also sincerely moved. The fragrance spread for eight miles. This was already comparable to his extremely fragrant chicken blood soup.
"Sect Master Martial Uncle said it too well. I, I admire you very much!"
The Taoist child was naturally proud of Mount Shu. Any praise that Gu Zheng gave to Mount Shu made him feel very comfortable. What's more, Gu Zheng could smell the incense here, which was already beyond his expectations. So when he heard Gu Zheng's sincere comments, he was so excited that he could not find the right words for a moment, and rashly said the word "admire".
Gu Zheng could not help but laugh, but Elder Wuchou and the others glared fiercely at the Taoist child.
"Hehe …"
The Taoist child, who also realized that his words were inappropriate, stuck out his tongue at everyone, and then looked at Gu Zheng again.
"Sect Master Martial Uncle, you're a good person, but you have to be careful in this Ranking Competition. Someone is targeting your Emei!"
"Who is targeting our Emei?"
The Taoist child's whisper made Gu Zheng frown.
"Sect Master Martial Uncle is a very good person, so I'll tell you directly. However, Sect Master Martial Uncle, you can't tell anyone that I told you about this!" The Taoist child looked at Gu Zheng, his eyes full of expectation.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone know." Seeing Gu Zheng nod solemnly, the Taoist child whispered in his ear.
After hearing what the Taoist child said, Gu Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly. But just when he wanted to ask the Taoist child some more, a man's voice sounded from above the stairs.
"Junior Brother Yu Feng, you can send the guests here. The rest of the way will be led by Senior Brother. Quickly return to the foot of the mountain and wait!"
The person who spoke was a Taoist priest in his thirties. He was standing above the stairs. When Gu Zheng stopped to smell the Serene Cloud Incense, he had already seen him.
"Yes, Senior Brother Yu Luan!"
The Taoist child bowed to the person above, and then bowed to Gu Zheng and the others, and then walked back the way he came.
After the Taoist child Yu Feng left, Gu Zheng and the others continued to follow Taoist Yu Luan. Different people came to receive them in different areas. This was also Shu Mountain's way of showing hospitality.
However, Yu Luan's personality was obviously different from Yu Feng's. This person rarely spoke, and his face was cold, as if others owed him money.
Taoist Yu Luan sent the people of Emei Sect to their resting place.
The guest rooms of Shu Mountain were all on the mountainside, and there was still a distance to the top of the mountain. The core of Shu Mountain was naturally at the top of the mountain, where 90% of the buildings of Shu Mountain were located. Looking from afar, the antique carved beams and painted rafters stood in the clouds, giving people a dreamy feeling like a mirage.
"Sect Leader, what did the Taoist child Yu Feng say to you on the stairs?"
In the guest room, Elder Wuyou could not help but ask.
"The Qingcheng Sect is going to target us …"
Gu Zheng told Elder Wuyou and the others what the Taoist child Yu Feng had said.
"This is indeed a troublesome matter, but it is not without countermeasures. It seems that I was right to bring it along!"
Elder Wuyou smiled bitterly and took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from his luggage.
Not long after, Gu Zheng led the disciples of Emei Sect to the top of the mountain to meet the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain.
During this grand event, the Sect Leader and most of the elders of Shu Mountain also stayed in the main hall. After Gu Zheng and the others went over, a greeting was inevitable.
"Sect Leader, how do you feel?"
Walking out of the main hall, Elder Wuyou asked.
The previous Sect Leaders of Emei Sect before Gu Zheng could be described as "premature death". The time they had been Sect Leaders was too short for a sect.
The decline of the sect, their own cultivation was not high, and they had not been Sect Leaders for long. They did not have the aura that a Sect Leader should have. Even when they were Sect Leaders, they were forced to do something beyond their abilities. All kinds of reasons made them lack confidence. During the grand event, the Sect Leader of Emei Sect at that time made a fool of himself in the main hall. When he walked out of the hall, he directly collapsed.
"It's okay!"
Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. He naturally understood why Elder Wuyou asked this.
Shu Mountain was a real big sect. There were so many elders at the late stage of the fifth layer that it was frightening. Even cultivators could be seen in the main hall.
Because there were so many experts, the atmosphere in the hall was naturally oppressive. In addition, there were some small episodes where the experts spoke sarcastically. Gu Zheng could completely understand why the Sect Leader collapsed after walking out of the hall.
In terms of cultivation, Gu Zheng was on par with the Sect Leader who made a fool of himself. However, Gu Zheng was a real cultivator. In his heart, he did not take those high and mighty experts too seriously. Therefore, although some people spoke sarcastically this time, Gu Zheng was still talking and laughing without being servile or overbearing. Naturally, he did not feel any pressure.
"Sect Leader, those people said something unpleasant just now. You …"
"It's okay. I'm not angry."
Gu Zheng interrupted Elder Wu You's words and gave him a knowing smile.
The strong were respected. No matter where it was, this was the law of survival. Although some people in Shu Mountain said something unpleasant, Emei Sect really did not have the capital to be taken seriously. Although Gu Zheng was angry, he would not impulsively go against Shu Mountain because of this.
"Let's go to the Hidden Sword Peak!"
Not wanting to say anything more about the previous issue, Gu Zheng waved his hand and stepped forward.
On Mount Shu, there were many uncanny peaks and beautiful rocks. Among these attractions, the most famous one was the Hidden Sword Peak.
Mount Shu in the Flourishing Dharma Era was indeed a sword immortal sect, and the Hidden Sword Peak, which was full of strange rocks and extremely steep, was indeed filled with many flying swords.
The flying swords on the Hidden Sword Peak were not for people to see. They were treasures left by the master swordsmiths of Shu Mountain during the Flourishing Era for the future disciples.
Every Shu Mountain disciple had two chances in their life to climb the Hidden Sword Peak to look for flying swords.
The first chance was after ten years of entering the sect. They had to climb the Common Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak to look for flying swords.
The second chance was after thirty years of entering the sect, or after their cultivation reached the fifth level. If one of the two conditions was met, they could climb the Hidden Sword Peak for the second time and go to the Spirit Sword Area to look for flying swords.
The Common Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak was located at the lower half of the peak. The flying swords there were called Common Swords. However, even if they were Common Swords, they were still not something that the current swordsmithing technology could compare to. When a cultivator's cultivation reached a certain level, they would be able to fly with a person.
The Spirit Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak was located at the upper part of the peak. The flying swords there were all immortal weapons of various grades. There were so many that it was enough to make cultivators drool.
However, regardless of whether it was the Common Sword Area or the Spirit Sword Area, there were very few people who could obtain flying swords from it. The method of obtaining a flying sword was very simple. Either the flying sword would automatically choose its owner, or it would be pulled out of the rock.
"Great Elder, ordinary cultivators might not be able to pull out a flying sword, but what if someone who is at the level of an immortal cultivator, or someone who doesn't belong to Shu Mountain at all, forcibly pulls out a flying sword?"
This was Gu An's first time in Shu Mountain. He was also curious about the Hidden Sword Peak.
"The Hidden Sword Peak has a spirit. Disciples who don't belong to Shu Mountain can't even get close to it."
"In the history of the Age of Chaos, there was indeed an evil cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Void Return stage. He climbed up the Hidden Sword Peak and pulled out a flying sword. However, the moment he pulled out the flying sword, his entire body was crushed into meat paste by the sword qi that burst out from the Hidden Sword Peak! "
"At this point, both the righteous and evil factions no longer have any doubts that the Hidden Sword Peak is actually a huge immortal weapon that was refined into a mountain by a powerful person. When Shu Mountain is in danger of being destroyed, all the flying swords on the Hidden Sword Peak will fly out to defend against the enemy. The scene of a rain of swords filling the sky is terrifying just thinking about it!"
Elder Wu You explained. His words also shocked the disciples who didn't know about this legend.
"Emei has the Chaos Pagoda, and Shu Mountain has the Hidden Sword Peak. If an immortal weapon of this level can be controlled by someone, how terrifying would its power be?"
Looking at the Hidden Sword Peak in front of him, Gu Zheng's shock could not be quelled for a long time.
As a branch sect of Shu Mountain, Emei also had the opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak. However, this opportunity was different from the requirements for Shu Mountain disciples to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak.
According to common sense, the branch disciples also had the opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak twice. However, the two opportunities to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak were during the Decade Gathering. The rest of the time, the Hidden Sword Peak was not open to the public.
During the Decade Gathering, the Shu Mountain branch disciples who had not set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak and whose cultivation had reached the fourth level had the opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak's Common Sword Area. The second opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak was related to the Decade Gathering!
During the Decade Gathering, there were a total of two kinds of ranking rewards for the branch sects. One was the quota to enter the Shu Ruins, and the other was related to the Hidden Sword Peak.
First of all, the first ranking sect of the branch sects had the opportunity to choose one person to enter the Spiritual Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak. This person must be one of the three people who participated in the ranking competition. This meant that every ten years, only one of the branch sects would be able to set foot on the Spiritual Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak!
Secondly, every time the Shu Ruins opened, all the branch sects had to pay a certain amount of rewards to Shu Mountain after leaving the Shu Ruins. The minimum standard of paying the rewards was very easy to achieve inside, unless the entire sect was wiped out and no one came out.
Also, every time after leaving the Shu Ruins, the sect that paid the most tribute would also be qualified to ascend the Spiritual Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak!
The requirement for the branch sects to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak sounded very simple, but each of them was extremely terrifying. In addition to limiting the number of people who could set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak, to a certain extent, it could also be said to be a huge trap.
The Hidden Sword Peak was not very far from the main hall, and it was also located on the top of the mountain. When Gu Zheng and the others were close to the Hidden Sword Peak, eight people who were also heading towards the Hidden Sword Peak appeared from another path that led to the top of the mountain.
Among the eight people, there were a total of four female members, and all of them were wearing white classical gauze clothes. In addition, whether it was in appearance or figure, the four women were all at the level of goddesses in the outside world. Although they did not look young, three of them looked like young women, and the other one looked like she was in her thirties, this did not prevent them from shining brightly.
However, the reason that really made people widen their eyes was not their beauty, but the three women who looked like young women were actually very rare triplets, and their similarity was extremely high.
Out of courtesy, Gu Zheng and the others had already stopped and waited for the eight people below to arrive.
"These women should be from the Purple Cloud Palace, right?"
Looking at the few women below, Gu Zheng asked.
Among the branch sects of Shu Mountain, the Purple Cloud Palace was the most mysterious one. Moreover, the disciples of the sect were mainly female, and they rarely interacted with the other branch sects. They were more proficient in the art of divination, yin and yang and the five elements.
"Sect Master, they are indeed from the Purple Cloud Palace. The older one is Elder Dawn Wind from the Purple Cloud Palace. As for the other three, we don't have any information about them. However, Sect Master, don't look at how young these women are. The Purple Cloud Palace has always been good at retaining their youthful looks. The older Elder Dawn Wind is actually 20 years older than me! "
Elder Wu You replied, and shock appeared in the eyes of some of the disciples.
Elder Wu You already had a head full of white hair, but Elder Dawn Wind, who was 20 years older than him, was still as beautiful as a goddess. This was indeed a bit too monstrous.
"Senior Apprentice Brother is right. Sect Master must have heard of the XX brand of cosmetics, right? Actually, the true owner behind them is a disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace. "
Elder Wu Chou's words caused Gu Zheng's eyes to widen.
Gu Zheng had naturally heard of the XX brand of cosmetics. It was a top brand in the cosmetics industry. He had never thought that the owner behind such a foreign brand would be a disciple of the most mysterious Purple Cloud Palace.
"Sect Master, the other men are members of the secular Situ Clan. The leading elder is called Situ Chengwei. As for the few juniors below him, I know two of them. One is called Situ Ming Guo, and the other is called Situ Ming Jun. When the event started ten years ago, they came with the elders of their clan. Their cultivation was already at the late stage of the fourth level. At that time, these two people also went to the Hidden Sword Peak to try their luck, but they didn't gain anything. "
"In this event, the quota for the Situ Clan to enter the Shu Ruins is very likely to be given to Situ Ming Guo and Situ Ming Jun. As for the other junior, he seems to be the genius figure of the Situ Clan, Situ Cong. He's already attained the intermediate-stage of the fourth level at the age of 35, and it's indeed rare and commendable. "
When Elder Wuchou told Gu Zheng all this, Situ Mingguo and Situ Mingjun's eyes also looked towards Mount Emei. There was a flash of contempt in their eyes. As for Situ Chengwei, he looked as if he was hurrying on with his head lowered. As for Situ Cong, he only cared about chatting and laughing with the triplets from the Purple Cloud Palace and didn't even look at Emei.
The Situ Clan was the most deeply involved branch of Shu Mountain. After their ancestors left Shu Mountain, they immediately sought refuge with the imperial court at that time. Since then, there seemed to always be members of the Situ Clan around the imperial power of each dynasty! In the secular world, the Situ Clan was definitely a clan that no one could afford to offend.
"Fellow Daoist Dawn Wind, Brother Situ, I trust you have been well since we last met!"
The few people at the foot of the mountain had already arrived. Elder Wuyou cupped his fists and greeted them.
"I trust you have been well since we last met!"
Elder Dawn Wind and Situ Chengwei cupped their fists in return.
"This is our Emei's new Sect Master, Gu Zheng."
Following Elder Wuyou's introduction, Gu Zheng also cupped his fists and greeted the two. "Seniors, it's an honor to meet you!"
In this era, etiquette had already faded a lot, but these people were all part of Shu Mountain, so they still had to show some etiquette.
Under normal circumstances, the default seniority was the same as the Sect Master. According to this unwritten rule, Gu Zheng's seniority was indeed lower than Elder Dawn Wind and Situ Chengwei.
"So it's Sect Master Gu. Nice to meet you."
Situ Chengwei rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "Don't worry.
"The new Sect Masters of Emei are getting younger and younger. I hope it's really the new generation replacing the old!"
Elder Dawn Wind frowned and let out a sigh.
When Gu Zheng took over the position of Emei Sect Leader, although he didn't hold a big banquet to inform his fellow Daoists, Elder Wu You still arranged letters to inform Shushan and the other branch sects. Therefore, they weren't particularly unfamiliar with Gu Zheng as their Sect Leader.
"Disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace greets Sect Master Gu."
"Disciple of the Situ Clan greets Sect Master Gu."
Since Elder Wuyou had introduced Gu Zheng at such a formal occasion, the other people from the Purple Cloud Palace and Situ Clan also greeted Gu Zheng.
Facing the greetings of the younger generation, Gu Zheng smiled and nodded on the surface, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Having grown up in the secular world, Gu Zheng was not a person who was overly formal. Since etiquette was necessary at special times, then shouldn't he at least be more sincere on the surface? Just like how he had greeted Elder Dawn Wind and Situ Chengwei, his actions and expressions were very appropriate.
However, when the three women from the Purple Cloud Palace greeted him, their gazes were very unruly. They gave Gu Zheng the feeling that he was looking at a stuffed toy hidden in a display window. As for Situ Cong, he looked lazy and unwilling when greeting him.
"Ling Xue, Ling Yu, Ling Bing, aren't you being too impudent? No matter how shy Sect Master Gu is, he is still your Martial Uncle. Apologize to Sect Master Gu immediately! "
Elder Dawn Wind shouted sternly, while the triplets stuck out their tongues.
"Please forgive us, Sect Master Gu!"
"Haha …"
If this was a normal situation, Gu Zheng would definitely say "It's fine" in the face of such a situation. However, the environment was different now. It seemed better to smile and shake his head like he was looking at a naughty child.
As expected, Gu Zheng's reaction was beyond the triplets' expectations. One of them even secretly glared at Gu Zheng before obediently standing beside Elder Dawn Wind.
Gu Zheng had a good impression of Elder Dawn Wind. As for the Situ Family, they left an extremely bad impression on Gu Zheng. Not to mention anything else, just Gu Zheng's smile made them all frown. Their eyes were filled with disapproval of his status as Sect Master.
"Hmph."
The unfriendliness of Situ Family wasn't something new. Elder Wuchou, who had a bad temper, couldn't help but snort coldly.
Elder Wuchou's cold snort caused Situ Chengwei's frown to deepen.
However, his furrowed brows quickly relaxed. Situ Chengwei rolled his eyes and smiled maliciously.
"Wuchou, it seems that you are also going to the Hidden Sword Peak. What? Are you just going to stand there and watch the show? "
During the last Grand Gathering, Emei Sect didn't have any disciples who met the requirements to ascend the Hidden Sword Peak. However, their spectating caused a lot of cynicism and ridicule. If they hadn't found Gu Zheng to be the Sect Master this year, Emei Sect wouldn't have come close to this sad place during this Grand Gathering.
"You …"
Elder Wuchou wanted to say something, but Gu Zheng's voice had already sounded.
"Watch the show? No, no, Senior's thinking is too simple. "
Gu Zheng looked at Situ Chengwei with his eyes wide open. He shook his head as if he was shocked by Situ Chengwei's thoughts.
"Pfft …"
One of the triplets couldn't help but laugh. After being glared at by Elder Dawn Wind, he quickly lowered his head and looked at his feet.
"It's big news for Emei Sect to have a disciple who has reached the fourth layer in these years! However, it's a pity that no one from Emei Sect has been able to reach the fourth layer in these ten years. Could it be that Sect Master Gu has already reached the fourth layer at such a young age? Or could it be that Emei Sect doesn't want to stand there and watch the show, but wants to sit down and watch the show under the leadership of Sect Master Gu? If Sect Master Gu really wants to do this, then my previous thinking is indeed too simple! "
Situ Chengwei was so angry that he laughed. Following his ridicule, the few people in Situ's family also laughed heartily.
"To say that Senior's way of thinking is simple, Senior's way of thinking is truly simple. Only someone as simple as Senior would think of moving a stool to watch the show. Who said that one cannot enter the fourth level at such a young age?"
Situ Chengwei's cultivation was not bad, but Gu Zheng wasn't afraid of offending him. Moreover, unless it was a feud like the Qingcheng Sect, this kind of quarrel wouldn't be a big deal if it happened to other sects. At least in Shu Mountain, it wouldn't develop into a conflict of force.
