32: People's joys and sorrows are not the same

Which of these stewards wasn't an old fellow who had cultivated for hundreds of years, with exceptionally sharp eyes?

The moment the steward from Mingjing Peak, who had a short beard and thin face, spoke, they had already guessed most of it.

Either Lu Chen was a Disciple that Mingjing Peak had long valued. Or, Lu Chen had some connection with a powerhouse from Mingjing Peak. Or perhaps, there was something on Lu Chen that a powerhouse from Mingjing Peak had taken a liking to.

In short, there was something fishy!

"Wait," the burly steward from Doujian Peak, Bai Li Xiong, raised his hand to stop him. "What Steward Wang said is inappropriate. As a steward of the Law Enforcement Hall of Mingjing Peak, how can he be the first to break the rules? This steward believes it's better to follow the normal process."

Upon hearing this, the three stewards from Danxia Peak, Zhubing Peak, and Wudao Peak remained composed and watched the spectacle.

It was common for Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak to clash, as these two peaks were the most aggressive in vying for Disciples. After all, their duties overlapped considerably, both focusing on combat strength.

After Bai Li Xiong finished speaking, without giving Steward Wang Shoulu of Mingjing Peak a chance to speak, he looked directly at Lu Chen. "Little fellow, tell me, what kind of Spell technique do you cultivate?"

Just as Lu Chen was about to answer, he saw Steward Wang Shoulu of Mingjing Peak glaring furiously at Bai Li Xiong. "Steward Bai Li, a Disciple that my Mingjing Peak has long favored still needs your approval? Stop talking nonsense. Today, this Junior Brother Lu Chen, my Mingjing Peak is taking him, and no one can stop us!"

It was no joke. He had just entered the Outer Sect and already comprehended Sword Intent. Moreover, according to Zhong Yi and Zhang Bingsong, Lu Chen had not only comprehended Sword Intent but also had a deeper comprehension of Earth Element True Intent. He had once used the Gathering Earth to Form Soldiers Technique in Wuguan County to kill a Demon Wolf across major Realms.

Conservatively estimated, Lu Chen's Earth Element True Intent was at the peak of the second layer, or even on the third layer.

What was the concept of the third layer of Earth Element True Intent? This was a level that only Xuan Fa Realm cultivators could reach. In other words, even if Lu Chen made no further progress in the future, reaching the Xuan Fa Realm was a certainty.

A Disciple who could surely enter the Xuan Fa Realm, wouldn't you fight for him?

Of course, they would fight for him. All the peaks in the Inner Sect would compete to get him.

Furthermore, Lu Chen had only been in the Sect for less than four months, yet he had comprehended Earth Element True Intent to such a degree. This was without even having access to the Inner Sect's True Intent Stele. Once he had access to the True Intent Stele, Lu Chen's comprehension of True Intent would surely enter a period of rapid advancement.

It could be said that Lu Chen's future achievements would be at least the Xuan Fa Realm, or even the Dao Infant Realm, or even higher Realms like the Yin Spirit Realm or Yang Spirit Realm. Everything was possible; his potential was limitless, and his future was promising.

With such a Disciple, who wouldn't be tempted? Wang Shoulu was willing to fight Bai Li Xiong, that brute, today to get him.

If he couldn't win, he would find someone from Mingjing Peak who could. In short, he had to beat Bai Li Xiong, that brute, into submission!

'As expected, he's a Disciple that Mingjing Peak had favored early on. It's a good thing I intervened.' Bai Li Xiong stood up abruptly, his astonishing vital energy surging forth, accumulating above his head, layering upon layer. In the blink of an eye, it was like a sea of fiery clouds rolling, scorching and terrifying. "Wang Shoulu, you're getting bolder and bolder. You dare to disregard the Sect's rules and even speak such arrogant words. Who gave you the guts!"

As Bai Li Xiong roared, the fiery clouds formed by his vital energy above his head surged with astonishing waves again, transforming into a vajra deity, standing behind him, radiating immense divine power and overlooking all living beings.

Wang Shoulu showed no weakness, his eyes widening. The power of Fire Element gathered from heaven and earth, followed by a great wind sweeping through. Fire borrowed the wind's momentum, and wind helped the fire grow. In an instant, the flames were soaring, transforming into a divine wind-fire dragon above his head, its head held high, coiled and staring directly at the burly Bai Li Xiong. "What? You want to fight this steward? Then let's try it and see who's afraid!"

When two Xuan Fa Realm cultivators capable of roaming the universe starry sky became enraged, the other stewards at the top didn't feel much, but the young Disciple standing with Lu Chen was already terrified, his face pale. He felt as if endless seawater was pouring in from all directions, crushing him deep beneath the sea. Millions of tons of seawater suppressed him on the spot, making it impossible to move, and even breathing became difficult. He was practically suffocating!

Large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He was drenched in sweat and cried out in his heart, "What is the background of this senior brother?"

The Xuan Fa Realm stewards of the dignified Inner Sect assessment hall, and even the stewards from the two great peaks known for their combat strength, Mingjing Peak and Doujian Peak, were about to fight fiercely over a Disciple!

Was he a reincarnated deity? Did they need to fight over him like this?!

The joys and sorrows of people were clearly not interconnected. The stewards were about to fight, and Lu Chen seemed unhappy, but he only felt bitter inside!

When deities fought, how could a Mortal like him endure it!

This was really going to kill him!

Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu at the top were on the verge of fighting, their momentum more astonishing than the last. At this moment, even the three stewards from Danxia Peak, Zhubing Peak, and Wudao Peak, who were watching the show, clearly sensed that something was wrong.

In the past, although Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak often had disagreements over vying for Disciples, it was only verbal sparring, at most a heated argument. Whoever won the argument got the Disciple.

But there really hadn't been many times like today, where they were actually about to fight.

However, every time they were about to fight, it meant they had truly encountered an extraordinary person!

"Lu Chen? The Lu Chen from the Outer Sect? I don't seem to have heard of him!" The two stewards from Danxia Peak and Zhubing Peak fell into deep thought!

They searched their memories repeatedly but couldn't recall where they had heard this name.

The steward from Wudao Peak, with white hair and beard and an immortal demeanor, was also racking his brain to remember. Unlike the two stewards from Danxia Peak and Zhubing Peak, this old steward actually remembered something.

"Lu Chen..."

"Wait, is it that newly entered Lu Chen!"

The one mentioned by Elder Lü Hongguang, the Elder of Transmission from the Outer Sect, who not only cultivated at an astonishing speed but also comprehended Sword Intent!

However, comprehending only the first layer of Sword Intent didn't seem enough to make Wang Shoulu of Mingjing Peak and Bai Li Xiong of Doujian Peak fight over him, did it?

"Could it be that this Lu Chen has some astonishing feat that this old man doesn't know about?!"

Yes, it must be so. Putting everything else aside, just looking at the attitudes of Wang Shoulu of Mingjing Peak and Bai Li Xiong of Doujian Peak, anyone could see that Lu Chen was not simple!

However, Wang Shoulu and Bai Li Xiong were about to fight, and his old arms and legs might not necessarily be able to beat those two!

The old steward from Wudao Peak silently took out his communication jade slip. If he couldn't win, then quickly call for reinforcements, find someone who could win. If he was too late, the Disciple would be snatched away!

【Second Elder, come quickly to the Inner Sect assessment hall to snatch a Disciple. Lu Chen, whom Lü Hongguang mentioned, has arrived. Bai Li Xiong of Doujian Peak and Wang Shoulu of Mingjing Peak are not hesitating to engage in a major conflict over this. This Disciple suspects that Lu Chen must have potential unknown to our Wudao Peak. He absolutely cannot be missed】

Wudao Peak.

The Second Elder, dressed in a white robe with white hair and beard and also possessing an immortal demeanor, quickly put down the communication jade slip. "Lu Chen! Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak have already started fighting over him?"

"No wonder that old fifth hurried down Feilai Peak. So he was also going to snatch a Disciple!"

This Elder hesitated for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Doujian Peak can snatch him, Mingjing Peak can snatch him, Feilai Peak can also snatch him, so why can't my Wudao Peak snatch him!"

This person, Wudao Peak can also snatch him. Even if the Sect Leader came, Wudao Peak would be in the right!
