34: Horror Shura Field

This Fifth Elder was already the most powerful existence Lu Chen had ever seen, yet he also seemed unable to see his Companion Treasure.

Could it be that this Companion Treasure was inherently difficult for outsiders to detect?

Lu Chen thought that after entering the Inner Sect, he must find more related books and records to understand it clearly. Anyway, while in the Outer Sect, he hadn't found any records related to the Companion Treasure.

As his thoughts turned, the Fifth Elder spoke again, "Little fellow, are you willing to join my Feilai Peak and become my Personal Disciple?"

Hmm? What?

The examination hall deacons, including Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu, who had been respectfully standing aside, having quieted down and stopped speaking, were all stunned.

'You old geezer, after all this, you're here to snatch someone too!'

Bai Li Xiong was both shocked and angry.

He was angry that this Fifth Elder was simply outrageous. A dignified Inner Sect Elder, the Master of Feilai Peak, actually came to their examination hall to show off his power.

Yes, in Bai Li Xiong's view, the Fifth Elder had come to show off. Snatching people from the examination hall was a routine operation, what was so strange about it? Did a dignified Inner Sect Fifth Elder need to make this trip?

Bullshit, this old geezer is just relying on his high status and strong power to come here and snatch people!

But the surprise was also real. Although Bai Li Xiong really didn't want to admit it, he still had to concede that the conditions offered by this Fifth Elder were truly astonishing!

What kind of existence was the Fifth Elder?

That was a Master of the Yin Spirit Realm, an existence with a lifespan of up to fifteen hundred years. Even if his Physical Body died, his Yin God could still remain in the world, or even reincarnate and seize a body. As long as he didn't die from Heavenly Tribulation or accident, such an existence could almost be said to live forever.

What kind of concept is this? Let's just say, the South Chu has only been established for eight hundred and sixty-three years so far, and it's not certain if this Fifth Elder has lived longer.

More importantly, this Fifth Elder was also the Master of Feilai Peak, a true big shot who held sway over the Sect's internal affairs and was incredibly wealthy. To become his Personal Disciple, honestly, let alone those Outer Sect Disciples, even Bai Li Xiong, this Inner Sect deacon, was a little tempted.

Wouldn't they walk sideways in the Sect from now on?!

But it wouldn't do, snatching people from Doujian Peak just wouldn't do.

Bai Li Xiong quietly took out a communication jade slip, [An Outer Sect Genius named Lu Chen has appeared, Mingjing Peak wants to snatch him, and the Fifth Elder has even personally arrived to claim him. Bai Li is incapable and knows he cannot compete, please Third Elder come quickly].

At the same moment, Wang Shoulu also quietly took out a communication jade slip and started calling for backup. Your Feilai Peak has the Fifth Elder, but my Mingjing Peak has the Grand Elder! Who's afraid of whom?

Lu Chen looked at the Fifth Elder who had extended an invitation to him and felt very conflicted.

If he refused the Fifth Elder, to be honest, he himself would feel like he didn't know what was good for him. In the future, with so many deacons at Feilai Peak, just one spitting saliva might drown him.

But the problem was, Lu Chen, who possessed the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, was clearly not suited to managing the Sect's internal affairs!

He should be out hunting monsters and demonic beasts to nurture his Dao Soldiers, and constantly undergoing trials to improve his own strength. What was the point of honestly staying put and managing internal affairs? Wouldn't that be wasting this Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin?

Becoming a Personal Disciple under the Fifth Elder was certainly good, but it wasn't suitable for him. No matter how strong the Fifth Elder was, he couldn't hunt powerful monsters and feed them to him, nor could he possibly empty his private stash to support his cultivation, this was clearly unrealistic, and no Master taught Disciples this way!

And if he only relied on managing the Sect's internal affairs, starting as a deacon, how much money could he get?

He probably wouldn't even be able to afford the Monster Corpses needed to nurture his Dao Soldiers, let alone the pills required for his own cultivation!

So, what reason should he find to refuse the Fifth Elder?!

While Lu Chen was thinking of a reason to refuse, the eyes of the Disciples outside who were originally watching the excitement turned red with envy.

The deacons at the top showed no reaction on the surface, but in their hearts, they wished they could take Lu Chen's place.

"This Lu Chen, he really has good fortune!"

"To be favored by the Fifth Elder who controls Feilai Peak, in the future, he'll be at least a high-ranking Sect official with real power. Damn it, why doesn't such a good thing fall on me!"

Those watching the excitement were tormented inwardly. Seeing Lu Chen about to ascend in one step was even more unbearable than killing them.

Lu Chen was also having a hard time, but the Fifth Elder's gaze was fixed directly on him, waiting for his reply.

"Old Five, are you taking Personal Disciples all the way to the examination hall?" A wavering, aged voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall. The voice seemed to come from all directions.

Not to mention the Disciples who didn't dare to breathe loudly and didn't know where the voice came from, even the examination hall deacons at the top were looking around.

The difference was that from this familiar voice, they already knew which Sect big shot had arrived.

"Disciple, greets Second Elder." The old deacon from Wudao Peak was the first to step forward and bow.

Closely following, deacons like Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu bowed one after another. Although the Disciples didn't know what the Second Elder looked like, since the deacons were bowing, how could they be an exception?

"Why has the Second Elder come?" The Fifth Elder slightly narrowed his eyes, cursing inwardly. As expected, snatching Lu Chen wouldn't be easy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Elder's figure in a wide white robe, with an air of immortality, had appeared beside the short, stout Fifth Elder at some unknown time. In contrast, the Fifth Elder looked like an insignificant short winter melon.

"This old man has also come for Lu Chen." The Second Elder spoke directly, his kind and peaceful eyes looking towards Lu Chen. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head, "Old Three has also arrived."

"It's not just me who has come, the Grand Elder hasn't fallen behind." An aged voice like a great bell came, and another tall and upright figure appeared in the hall.

He looked extremely young, with sword-like eyebrows extending to his temples and eyes like an eagle's, revealing his personality to be undoubtedly domineering at first glance. However, for some unknown reason, the first impression he gave was one of decay. Wasn't this precisely the Third Elder, who controlled Doujian Peak?

"If this old man didn't come, you few, Old Two, Old Three, and Old Five, might just poke a hole through this examination hall." A calm voice sounded. Although the voice was peaceful, it sent chills down one's spine upon hearing it.

As the voice fell, another lean and gaunt Old Man appeared before the Third Elder. His gray eyebrows were very long, almost covering his eyelids, like a cold-faced judge. It was precisely the Grand Elder, who controlled Mingjing Peak.

In an instant, four of the Elders from the Inner Sect's six peaks had arrived. What was even more frightening was that all four Elders had come for Lu Chen.

Not to mention Lu Chen himself, even the Disciples and deacons watching the excitement were so shocked they sucked in cold air. When they looked at Lu Chen again, the envy they had felt before was gone.

They only felt that this young Genius, who had originally been the object of envy, now seemed to be in a different kind of Asura field, enveloped by several majestic mountains. They didn't need to put themselves in his shoes; just thinking about it was enough to know what immense pressure Lu Chen was currently under.

If only one Elder had come, there would be no doubt that Lu Chen was a lucky person who had stumbled upon extraordinary good fortune.

But with a total of four here, no matter which one Lu Chen chose, he would end up offending the other three!

How do you choose?

Any choice is wrong, any choice will offend three, and he can only gain the approval of one of them. Is it a loss?

Of course it's a loss. Three against one, if you don't suffer the loss, who will!

"Suddenly, I feel that being ordinary is quite good!" A Disciple quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't comfort yourself. If you could be favored by four Elders at the same time, you'd probably laugh yourself awake even in your dreams!"
