Lu An, who was sitting near the inner area, could guess what the others were thinking even if he did not open his eyes.
However, he could not wait any longer. The closer it was to the end of the year, the longer these people would cultivate. He would be exposed one day, so there was no need to waste his time.
Moreover, he had decided that as long as he became a level-three Celestial Master and killed Liu Panshan, he would leave the Dacheng Sky Mountain and the Tiancheng Nation. At that time, it would not matter even if his cultivation talent was exposed.
Lu An cultivated quietly. A full 15 minutes had passed, but his expression was still the same as usual. He did not feel pressured at all, which was very different from the elites of the inner peak who were near the edge of the red line. It was also because of this that everyone looked at Lu An. They were shocked as if they wanted to see how long Lu An could last.
However, they were afraid that they could not last until Lu An was willing to leave.
It was extremely impolite to disturb other people's cultivation. It was also a taboo for all Celestial Masters. Therefore, even though many people wanted to talk to Lu An, no one dared to disturb him. The contempt in everyone's eyes at the beginning had completely disappeared. It had long been replaced by shock and respect.
Perhaps it was because of Lu An's appearance that these disciples who were originally complaining incessantly felt a deep sense of self-blame. They didn't even need Huang Zhizhong's urging as they endured the pain and entered the red line one after another and began to cultivate with all their might.
Huang Zhizhong, on the other hand, was inside the line to stabilize a disciple before he could not hold on anymore. For Huang Zhizhong's strength, the pressure of the red line was naturally nothing. His eyes drifted to Lu An from time to time, waiting for Lu An to come out so that he could tell him about the Eight-Nation Competition.
However, this wait lasted all the way until nighttime.
Evening had already passed, and when the sky was completely dark, all of the cultivating disciples had already left. Before the disciples left, Lu An did not leave the red line even once. The moment the sky turned completely dark, Lu An opened his eyes.
Lu An's eyes were pitch-black as if they were bottomless. As he exhaled deeply, his eyes slowly returned to normal and became very clear. Then, Lu An finally got up and walked out of the red line.
At this moment, Huang Zhizhong had been sitting on a chair outside the red line. Lu An looked at Huang Zhizhong. After thinking about it, he walked over and said politely, "Elder Huang, I'll take my leave first."
"Wait." Huang Zhizhong stood up and looked down at Lu An. He said, "I really didn't expect you to be so strong. There's a spot for you to take part in the Eight-Nation Competition...
Lu An looked at Huang Zhizhong. He had already guessed Huang Zhizhong's thoughts. He shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder, but I do not wish to participate."
.......................................................
.............. Lu An looked at Huang Zhizhong and said calmly, "Moreover, this disciple's strength is only at the middle stage of Level 2. There is a huge gap between me and the rest. In addition, I have poor psychological endurance and can't bear too much pressure from others. I'm also afraid of embarrassing the Dacheng Sky Mountain. "
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Huang Zhizhong was stunned again. He did not expect Lu An to refuse so straightforwardly and with such a good reason.
However, why did he feel that Lu An's words were completely fabricated?
"You really don't want to participate?" Huang Zhizhong asked doubtfully. "Do you know that as long as you participate, regardless of your ranking, the Dacheng Sky Mountain will reward you with Heavenly Techniques and weapons?"
"I know." Lu An nodded and said, "That's right. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it."
Huang Zhizhong frowned and heaved a sigh of relief. "Forget it. Since you don't want to participate, forget it. I've been waiting here for you for so long."
It was obvious that Huang Zhizhong was very dissatisfied. He turned and left. Watching Huang Zhizhong leave, Lu An knew that he had offended him. He could only smile bitterly.
However, no matter what, he had successfully avoided participating in the Eight-Nation Competition. He wanted to avoid taking action as much as possible so that no one would suspect him when he killed Liu Panshan.
After Lu An left the Sky Ascension Pagoda, he went straight to the restaurant to get something to eat. He had been moving forward quietly when he suddenly saw Gongye Qingshan running over from another direction. He was stunned.
It was obvious that Gongye Qingshan was not running towards him because he had never looked at him. After thinking about it, Lu An walked up to him when he was about to pass by him and asked, "Brother Gongye, what happened?"
Gongye Qingshan only noticed Lu An when he was suddenly stopped. He quickly said, "Someone bullied Xiao Xi!"
"Xiao Xi?" Lu An was stunned when he heard that. There was no such person among his Senior Brothers and Sisters. He could not help but ask, "Who is it?"
"It's my sweetheart!" Gongye Qingshan was burning with anxiety. He was so anxious that his face was distorted. He quickly said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. I have to go!"
Gongye Qingshan left Lu An behind and moved forward at his fastest speed. Seeing Gongye Qingshan so anxious, Lu An thought about it and quickly followed him.
If it was someone else, Lu An might not care. However, he had a friendship with Gongye Qingshan. Moreover, Gongye Qingshan had been taking care of him since he came to the Inner Peak. He was not a cold-blooded person. Naturally, he had to go and check it out.
Lu An quickly followed Gongye Qingshan's pace and moved forward side by side. Gongye Qingshan naturally noticed that Lu An was following him. He could not help but feel happy.
The two of them moved quickly in the Inner Peak. It did not take long for them to arrive at another area that did not belong to Wu Chengshan's disciples. Lu An had never been here before. He noticed that the two of them had immediately attracted the hostile gazes of the surrounding disciples.
Sure enough, not long after they moved forward, they noticed a group of figures in the gap between two palaces that were very close to each other. Six male disciples were surrounding a female disciple. One of them was even touching her. It was extremely excessive!
Even though the appearance of the female disciple that was surrounded by the six of them could not be considered to be drop dead gorgeous, she was absolutely a beauty. Moreover, just looking at her made one's heart ache. At this moment, the woman's countenance was pale when she was surrounded by the six of them. She tried desperately to stop them but was powerless to do so. Her hands were completely grabbed by the two of them, and even her Dantian seemed to have been sealed.
Gongye Qingshan's eyes almost split apart when he witnessed this scene, and he roared loudly. "Stop!"
Suddenly, a roar resounded. It was extremely deafening in the narrow gap between the palaces, and it shocked the people in the distance. The six of them immediately looked at Gongye Qingshan. Lu An just happened to recognize one of them.
That person was the person that had provoked him on the first day he arrived at the Inner Peak, Chu Liang.
He still remembered that Chu Liang was ranked 22nd in the Inner Peak. Now that the top 20 had been summoned away, he had naturally become the boss of the Inner Peak. Sure enough, Chu Liang did not care about Gongye Qingshan's arrival at all. Instead, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Gongye Qingshan, you've really come!" Chu Liang tossed Xiao Xi aside and turned to look at Gongye Qingshan in the distance. He sneered and said, "I've long heard that you're very fond of my Junior Sister Xi. I never expected it to be true."
"Let her go!" Gongye Qingshan roared angrily again. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
His voice was loud but it did not scare Chu Liang. He laughed loudly and said, "You're quite loud, but you're a fool. Hahaha!"
Gongye Qingshan glared angrily at Chu Liang. Because Xiao Xi was in Chu Liang's hands, he did not dare to act rashly and had completely lost his mind. On the other hand, Lu An frowned slightly when he saw Chu Liang's strange smile and words.
"Brother Gongye, something's wrong." Lu An looked around and spoke softly.
Unfortunately, no matter what Lu An said, Gongye Qingshan would not listen to him at all. He could only look anxiously at Xiao Xi and try to save her.
However, when he saw Gongye Qingshan's foolish look, Chu Liang laughed even more fiercely. He snapped his fingers and his five Junior Brothers immediately put Xiao Xi down. Then, a shocking scene appeared.
Xiao Xi's expression had a 180-degree change. The fear on her face had completely disappeared and was replaced by a sweet smile. She walked to Chu Liang's side and snuggled into his arms.
Gongye Qingshan was stunned when he saw this scene. He almost fell down!
"Hahaha!" Chu Liang laughed wantonly. His laughter was extremely ear-piercing. He laughed loudly and said, "Unfortunately, the sweetheart that you've been thinking about day and night is already mine! Gongye Qingshan, you're really pitiful! "
Gongye Qingshan's mind went blank when he heard Chu Liang's words. He stared blankly ahead and spoke as if he had gone mad. "No! That's impossible! "
Lu An's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked around. Sure enough, as soon as Chu Liang's voice fell, six people appeared behind him and completely blocked his way out!
"Brother Gongye, there's an ambush. We must find a way to leave!" Lu An frowned and spoke again in a low voice.
Unfortunately, Gongye Qingshan could no longer listen to what he said.
"No! That's impossible! Scum like you must have threatened her. That's why it's like this! "Gongye Qingshan had completely gone mad. His eyes turned red as he shouted at the other party!
However, when Lu An heard Gongye Qingshan's words, he denied it in his heart. That was because from the woman's eyes, she had not been threatened at all. She had cooperated willingly.
It seemed that Gongye Qingshan had misjudged her this time.
"We must leave!" This time, Lu An did not lower his voice as he wanted to wake Gongye Qingshan up.
However, since Gongye Qingshan could hear it, Chu Liang naturally heard it too. He laughed and said, "Since you're here, do you still want to walk back today?"
After he finished speaking, Chu Liang waved his hand and shouted, "Beat them to death!"
