Chapter 335: Plotting Evil
Seeing her father nodding his head and saying that Ye Xiao was right, Yue Ying said, "Remember your promise, if something like the last time happens again, I will never forgive you!"
"Don"t worry, the same mistake will never happen twice?" Yue Qianchou lovingly caressed Yue Qi"s head, not minding in the slightest how Yue Ying spoke.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly. This father and daughter pair really had some personality but it seemed like his road was still very long and difficult.
On the morning of the second day, Yue Ying led Ye Xiao and the other three Immortal Foundation Realm experts out of the Heavenly River City and rushed straight towards the Dragon Immortal Sect under Yue Qi"s teary gaze.
.....
_Five Days Later_
The green mountain was like a painting, towering into the clouds. Dense Spirit Energy lingered around the mountainside which was filled with thousands of ancient trees which were standing tall here for who knows how many years.
Looking at the scene before his eyes, Ye Xiao could not help but be dumbstruck.
"This was the entrance to the Dragon Immortal Sect. All of you need to be aware that after entering this place, everyone will become each other"s compet.i.tor. You need to very be careful!" The Eldest Miss said seriously.
"Is it that serious?" One of the three Immortal Foundation Realm martial artists who was walking side by side with Ye Xiao, Yue Ying, and other two of his comrades asked in surprise.
"I am afraid it is even worse than what you have imagined. Dragon Immortal Sect does not raise useless people. If everyone wants to obtain cultivation resources, they have to step on others" shoulders and climb up," said the Eldest Miss seriously as she looked at the person who asked.
The three of them were all rogue cultivators. Although their talents were not bad, they did not have any background which was why they placed so much importance on the opportunity they gained from the Eldest Miss to enter the Dragon Immortal Sect.
Although they could see the mountain, it took them another two days to get to the foot of the mountain.
As they neared the foot of the mountain, they would occasionally see a few people walking along the road just like them.
Ye Xiao discovered that these people were the same as them. They were all in a five men team. One of them had the cultivation base at the Immortal Lord Realm while the four other people were at the Immortal Foundation Realm.
However, when these people saw Ye Xiao and the rest, their eyes were filled with vigilance. Some of them even held onto weapons the entire time, ready to attack at any time.
In the face of these unfriendly gazes, Ye Xiao turned a blind eye and calmly followed behind the Eldest Miss.
When they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a ma.s.sive gate towering in front of them.
In front of the mountain gate was an empty area and a group of young men and women sat cross-legged there. The arrival of Ye Xiao and the others did not cause too much of a commotion. It was obvious that these people were extremely calm and collected.
Suddenly, a gaze that was like a sword shot towards Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao sensed it and looked in that direction.
He instantly recognized that person. It was indeed Gong Tian who injured his shoulder at the Heavenly River City. At this moment, he was looking at him with a sinister smile.
The gaze of a mouse who wanted to play with a cat made Ye Xiao very unhappy. He stretched out his fist and extended his middle finger towards the mouse.
"Don"t mess around, there are a lot of geniuses here. Don"t cause trouble for yourself" The Eldest Miss quickly reminded Ye Xiao when she saw the gesture Ye Xiao made.
Seeing that Ye Xiao was disrespectful to him, a trace of hostility flashed past Gong Tian"s eyes but in the end, he still hid it.
"Brother Gong, why are you looking at that boy? Could it be that he has offended Brother Gong before?" A blue-robed man beside Gong Tian asked in a somewhat astonished manner.
"Brother Li, you must be joking. He does not have the qualifications. I just don"t like him at all." Gong Tian said with a smile.
The person who spoke to Gong Tian just now was his good friend. His name was Li Qi and he was also the son of a mayor. His cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm and his status was not slightly weaker than Gong Tian"s.
It was only then that Li Qi noticed the eldest miss who was wearing a white veil over her face and suddenly said, "I heard that Brother Gong went to the Heavenly River City to propose marriage a few days ago. I wonder how it turned out?"
Gong Tian"s face stiffened for a moment before he said, "Rejected."
"What? she actually rejected Brother Gong. Even with Brother Gong"s talent, she still rejected you. It seems like this Miss Yue Ying"s eyesight is not that good!" Li Qi comforted.
"No worries, in my entire life, this is the first time I have been rejected by a woman. This makes me even more interested in her. I will slowly and surely get her in my hand one day." Gong Tian looked in the direction of the Eldest Miss and a cold smirk appeared on his face.
"Brother Gong is truly a perseverant person. However, I heard that this Yue Ying has an amazing talent and she seems to have received the academy"s invitation a long time ago. I wonder why she only came this year?" Somewhat puzzled, Li Qi asked again.
"No matter how strong her talent is, she is just a woman who can"t escape my grasp. Oh right, Brother Li, I have something that I need your help with." Gong Tian suddenly said.
"Brother Gong, please speak." Li Qi said.
"I don"t like that kid who is walking with Yue Ying. If your subordinate meets him during the a.s.sessment, help me chop off one of his arms!" Gong Tian said as he looked at the distant Ye Xiao.
Li Qi slightly frowned and said, "Why is that? Since you don"t like it then just kill him. Why bother to just chop off one arm?"
"Brother Li, killing him with one slash will be too boring? I want to let him suffer a fate worse than death and have fun looking at him suffering such a fate?" Gong Tian"s eyes revealed a sinister look as he replied.
"Haha, Brother Gong is right. Since this is the case, I will just send out the orders. In addition, I will also inform the other few friends of mine. After all, there are not many chances to meet that brat in the exam."
"This kid is not weak. You can tell the people below you to not be careless." Gong Tian reminded.
"Don"t worry. All of our subordinates are at the peak of the Immortal Foundation Realm and some of them are even at the half-step into the Immortal Lord Realm. They will easily take that brat down?" Li Qi said with a little disapproval to Gong Tian.
"That"s true. Then We will just wait and see. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, don"t play him to death. That would be too boring." Gong Tian said as he looked at Ye Xiao and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Gong Tian and Li Qi were whispering to each other. They were using voice transmission to communicate with each other so no one could eavesdrop on their conversation. However, the Eldest Miss had already noticed them.
"Ye Xiao, after you enter the exam, you must be very careful. They should be plotting something against you!" The Eldest Miss warned Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at the two in the distance and the corner of his mouth raised into a cold smile and said indifferently, "Eldest Miss, don"t worry. If they dare to provoke me, I will let them know what regret is."
Suddenly, the tens of meters tall gate slowly started to open and a group of people slowly appeared in front of everyone. All of the people who arrived here to enter the Dragon Immortal Sect as disciples stood up.
There were a total of three people who just came. One of them was a young woman who looked very elegant and had phoenix eyes and thin lips. She gave off a very determined feeling.
Behind her were two shrivelled old men. Both of them were around fifty years old. One of them had ears like a monkey while the other had a nose that was sniffing a gourd filled with alcohol.
That young woman"s appearance was already very enchanting but, with the combination of the domineering aura, it made her seem completely otherworldly.
