Guiyuan Sect, in a slightly shabby abode.

"Senior Master should be aware that that piece of Hundred Sect Order could bring us countless treasures."

"And Senior Master naturally also knows, that in the current Guiyuan Sect, besides me, Xu Qing, there is no one else capable of entering the top hundred of the Hundred Sect Tournament. So, other than me, Xu Qing, there is no one else capable of bringing back glory for my Guiyuan Sect, nor any treasures from the of my clan."

Xu Qing looked at the single-armed old man who sat cross legged in front of him, and spoke with incomparable respect, for the first time in history.

The old man's hair was already half white, but it didn't have the appearance of a sage. Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since he had taken care of it, but it still looked a bit unkempt.

The strangest thing about the old man was probably his expression.

Although the old man was sitting cross-legged, he looked like he was sitting upright. It could even be said that he was flattered!

After the old man heard Xu Qing's words, he looked at Xu Qing's beautiful face, then swallowed his saliva and turned his head away, not daring to look straight in front of him, as he asked in a probing tone.

"You should also know that ever since I withdrew from the Elders' Association, I have not inquired about the sect's matters for a long time. Although I understand the matter, the Hundred Sect Order is still …"

Before the old man could finish speaking, Xu Qing had expressionlessly taken down a Storage Bag that was filled to the brim and threw it in front of the old man.

"Senior Master is relieved, Xu Qing already knew that Senior Master is very old, and was busy climbing to the peak on his cultivation, but this matter requires Senior Master to step in, and there are five thousand Spiritual Stone here, I will have to trouble Senior Master to accept them!"

Just as Xu Qing finished speaking, the one-armed old man who clearly had one arm cut off immediately looked as if he transformed into a different person. He immediately grabbed his Storage Bag, and the expression on his face abruptly changed.

He proudly patted his chest and spoke with incomparable righteousness.

"That Chu Ling is too much, he is already a piece of trash, and now he still wants to fight over our Guiyuan Sect's Hundred Sect Order. Don't worry, as long as I am around, and an old guy from a sect like me, Chu Ling will not be able to participate in the True Disciple Promotion Trial."

"For my Guiyuan Sect, this old man is willing to give up on this old face as well. This old man will now invite all the elders of the sect to come out and definitely block Chu Ling from coming out of the Guiyuan Sect."

Xu Qing listened and nodded his head, then turned and left.

On top of that, she had just received news that Chu Ling seemed to already have the strength of the seventh level of the Vein Opening Stage. As a Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage user, she was naturally not afraid.

But even though she was used to being cautious, she still chose to stop Chu Ling from undergoing the direct disciple advancement test.

As for what method the one-armed old man would use to stop Chu Ling, that was not something she had to think about. As long as Chu Ling did not appear during the Promotions Trial, and allowed her to take down the Hundred Sect Order, everything was fine.

Three days later, Chu Ling had stopped pulling the carriage. Instead, he was sitting cross-legged on top of the carriage, listening to the little fatty constantly talking about everything he had seen and heard not long ago.

"Eldest senior brother, it's really a pity that you didn't enter Yan City. That city is really lively. Not only are there a large number of ordinary people, there are also many cultivators like us."

"There was actually a lady with a pretty good figure just now! She intentionally squeezed me on the street and almost caused me to die from excitement. I think she has most likely taken a fancy to me."

It's a pity that she was wearing a scarf but I didn't expect her to have snake hair under the scarf. When I saw her, she was still swimming around.

"After that, no matter how much more that woman smiled at me, I still felt chills down my spine."

"There's more! I saw a drunkard on the street just now, and the gourd of wine in his hand drowned the entire street. There's even a butcher …"

Chu Ling, who was originally a chatterbox, practically had no chance to interrupt since he had so many topics to talk about, all the way up to this point.

However, Chu Ling didn't feel annoyed, but instead, felt that his heart was peaceful.

Although he was only at the seventh level of Vein Opening Stage, he had long refined the first four swords of the seven Guiyuan to the Dominating Refinement realm. Adding the fact that he had just acquired the Illusory Spirit Invisible Sword, he did not feel much fear towards Xu Qing, the cultivator of Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage.

After all, even though Xu Qing's cultivation realm was a bit higher, whether it was in terms of understanding cultivation techniques or battle skills, he was the one who personally guided them.

"Giddy up!"

Chu Ling shook the reins to urge the horse carriage forward. The Scaled Horned Horse had already changed greatly in his disguise, and now, he had to return to his Guiyuan Sect quickly. After all, there were only two days left for the true disciple examination.

There was still one more day of travel.

The Scaled Horses were in pain, they very obediently rushed forward, but the carriage did not run far, and Chu Ling saw that on the road in front of them, a group of people suddenly appeared.

Those people all had a head of white hair, and no matter how you looked at them, they were all crippled legs, especially the one in the lead. That white-haired, one-armed old man with a straight face didn't look like a bandit at all!

Before Chu Ling could even react, the one-armed old man standing right in front shouted: "Chu Ling, why aren't you stopping, could it be that you want to drive a car and drive us old bastards to death!"

Hearing that, Chu Ling reacted, and looked over carefully, only then remembering, the group of elders in front of him were all clan elders whose Guiyuan Sect had long been withdrawn!

Chu Ling quickly stopped the carriage in front of everyone. Before he even had the chance to ask, the one-armed old man sternly said: "Chu Ling, do you know why we, this group of old bastards, are waiting for you here?"

Chu Ling asked with doubt: "Why?"

"Why? You actually don't know why, let me ask you, what do you want to do with your Guiyuan Sect this time around? "

"Disciples naturally participate in the True Disciple Promotion Trial, becoming a Successor Disciple and obtaining back the Hundred Sect Order that my father left in the Guiyuan Sect all those years ago."

Although the one-armed old man's attitude was not too good, Chu Ling still answered respectfully. It was just that at that time, a trace of an ominous premonition suddenly emerged in his heart.

"Humph!" Ridiculous, why are you still competing for the Hundred Sect Order! " The one-armed old man snapped coldly.

Following that, the rest of the people behind the old man also opened their chests and started talking to Chu Ling.

"I say, Chu Ling, do you have even a little bit of self-awareness? Although I heard that you're already at the seventh level of Vein Opening Stage, you're still far from being able to match up to Xu Qing, who's stronger and who's weaker, don't you have that little bit of confidence in your heart?"

"That's right, the direct disciples of my Guiyuan Sect have always been sent to participate in the Hundred Sect Competition, and will receive special training from the sect within the next year.

How can someone like you, who has both lost and killed a Spiritual Vein, rely on your temporary strength to take over this position, and destroy my Guiyuan Sect, which is a place for true disciples! "

Chu Ling, even if you really are able to participate in the Hundred Sect Competition, and you don't feel the least bit humiliated, I will trouble you to consider our Guiyuan Sect's face.

Everyone continued to berate Chu Ling, as though if Chu Ling participated in the cultivation training, it would harm his Guiyuan Sect.

"Chu Ling, you heard the opinions of us elders from the Guiyuan Sect, so, if you insist on staying here, then I might let you stay here for a day!"
