52: How much is face worth?

The next day.

Immortal Seeking Sect suddenly became lively.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Gu Shaoyu is going to challenge a Disciple from Wudao Peak!"

"Uh, no way, is there still anyone on Wudao Peak?"

"Of course, didn't the Sect recruit a Disciple during the last Sect recruitment ceremony? I think I remember his name was Ye Fojian."

"Yes, that's right, it's him. I heard that at that time, he caused a sensation throughout the entire Sect with his Saint-Grade Aptitude, but it's a pity that his Meridians were crippled, and he can no longer Cultivate!"

"Then he's definitely going to lose, isn't he? Senior Brother Gu is already in the Naling Realm."

"That's for sure... Oh, never mind, let's hurry and join the fun, or we won't get a spot if we're late!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

For a time, both Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples rushed to Wudao Peak.

Such a big commotion startled many Elders, who thought something major had happened.

Upon learning that Gu Shaoyu was challenging a Disciple from Wudao Peak, they didn't bother to interfere. Some Elders even couldn't help but give in to their gossiping nature and went to watch the battle.

At the same time.

On the Main Peak, Lu Jinan, a strong-auraed man in coarse linen clothes, also emerged from his Cultivation after receiving the news and headed to Wudao Peak.

Behind Yujian Peak, Murong Jiantang emerged from the Sword Tomb. The aura around him became even sharper.

From the ancient ink-colored sword scabbard on his back, a sword shadow streaked across the sky, and a longsword carried him, disappearing into the horizon.

On Wuji Peak, Tan Jinsheng, dressed in white with a mysterious scroll on his back, walked down towards the foot of the mountain.

The Personal Disciples from various Main Peaks, such as Dan Peak, Lian Qi Peak, and Saint Sound Peak, all emerged from seclusion and headed to Wudao Peak.

For a time, at the foot of Wudao Peak, the area was bustling with activity, packed with a sea of people who had come to watch the excitement.

Just then, a commotion arose from the crowd.

"Hey, look quickly, that's Senior Brother Lu Jinan! I didn't expect him to come too!"

"Look, look, Senior Brother Murong Jiantang, he looks so handsome flying on his sword!"

"Wow, Senior Sister Su Nianke is here too, she's so beautiful!"

"Look, everyone, that's... Senior Brother Tan Jinsheng, his outfit is so handsome!"

"It's not just them, everyone look, Senior Brother Song Qing, Senior Sister Jiang Yue, they've all come!"

"Needless to say, the Personal Disciples from all eight Main Peaks should all be here..."

"..."

As figures descended one after another, the Disciples continuously exclaimed in surprise.

Several Personal Disciples each occupied an area, and the Disciples from their respective Main Peaks also consciously stood behind them, forming small factions.

The arrival of Lu Jinan and the others was beyond everyone's expectations. Now, they were just waiting for Gu Shaoyu, the main character.

A moment later, a voice made everyone's spirits lift.

"Senior Brother Gu Shaoyu has arrived!"

The crowd automatically parted, creating a path, and Gu Shaoyu gracefully walked through the crowd, his robes fluttering.

His handsome attire combined with his quite attractive face caused the female Disciples to continuously cast admiring glances, captivated by him.

He arrived at the foot of Wudao Peak, expressionless, and untied the strap behind him.

Then his body suddenly shook, and the black long staff was thrown forward, spinning rapidly in mid-air.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Boom...

With a muffled roar, the black long staff plunged into the ground as if it weighed a thousand catties, cracking the surrounding ground and sending dust and stones flying.

The loud noise made everyone's ears buzz, and they gasped in cold air.

At the same time, Gu Shaoyu gathered his Qi, and a deep voice resounded throughout Wudao Peak.

"Disciple Gu Shaoyu of the Enforcement Hall, has come to challenge the Disciple of Wudao Peak. Please enlighten me, Junior Brother!"

Lu Jinan observed Gu Shaoyu, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he murmured, "Naling Realm First Rank, worth looking forward to!"

Not far away, Murong Jiantang was expressionless and commented indifferently, "Not bad!"

It wasn't just the two of them; the other Personal Disciples' gazes were more or less solemn.

Gu Shaoyu's appearance made them feel a hint of pressure.

But that was all. They believed themselves to be no weaker than anyone!

Everyone merely glanced at him before retracting their gazes.

They wanted to see how this Disciple of Wudao Peak would respond!

After several minutes, under everyone's expectant gazes, Wudao Peak remained silent, and no one appeared.

Was he afraid?

Or disdainful?

Everyone was puzzled, but most people leaned towards the former.

The entire Sect knew that the current Wudao Peak was a gathering place for trash.

From the Peak Revered Master down to the Disciples.

As a Disciple of the Enforcement Hall, Gu Shaoyu's Cultivation had not only reached the Naling Realm, but the black staff stuck in the ground in front of him was also a Low Grade Profound Weapon of no low Rank.

Coupled with Shen Ruyu's personal guidance, his strength was incredibly formidable.

On the contrary.

Everyone knew that Wudao Peak only had one Disciple, Ye Fojian, who was also a Body Refining Third Rank piece of trash.

What could he use to fight Gu Shaoyu?

If it were them at this moment, they would also hide on Wudao Peak and not come down.

Gu Shaoyu's face darkened, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows.

Are the people of Wudao Peak all cowards, without even the courage to respond?

What a bunch of trash!

At this moment, the people of Wudao Peak became even more despicable in his heart.

How could such trash dare to contradict his Revered Master? This only fueled his anger further.

Today, he would give them a lesson no matter what!

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu shouted again, with a hint of provocation in his words, saying,

"Are the people of Wudao Peak all cowardly turtles, only capable of hiding in their shells?!"

"How can trash like you occupy Wudao Peak!"

"If you don't want to be laughed at, then come out and accept my challenge!"

"Is it that if the Revered Master is trash, the Disciple is also trash?"

"..."

Insulting words continuously echoed towards Wudao Peak.

As one of the protagonists of this matter, Mu Buyu could no longer endure such humiliation.

He stumbled out of the house, his aura slightly chaotic, his hair standing on end, his clothes scorched black, with traces of lightning strikes everywhere.

He could be humiliated, but humiliating his Revered Master and humiliating his Wudao Peak was absolutely unacceptable.

He tidied his clothes slightly, wiped the soot from his face, and rushed down the mountain with a fierce gaze.

As he reached halfway up the mountain, his eyes swept downwards, and seeing the crowded scene, he was completely stunned.

"Holy crap, did Revered Master do something that angered both gods and men, that the entire Sect has come to denounce him?"

He swallowed, feeling that he had been a bit impulsive.

Letting them curse him a bit wouldn't make him lose any flesh, it seemed.

With so many people, a single spit from each person could drown him. What's the point of fighting then?

To hell with face.

What's face worth anyway!

He wanted to quietly retreat back up the mountain.

Just as he was about to turn around, everyone noticed him and exclaimed loudly.

"Quick, someone is coming down the mountain!"

"Oh, indeed, it seems he can't stand such humiliation anymore!"

"He's got guts, daring to come down like this!"

Listening to the exclamations of the crowd, Mu Buyu's face was almost twisted into a knot. He wanted to cry but had no tears, and his heart roared uncontrollably.

Damn it, I beg you all to be human.

Do you have to be so sharp-eyed? Can't you just pretend I'm a fart and let me go?

He was really going to die of anger.

Darn Revered Master, leaving so many messes, making him have to bite the bullet and go now!

Oh, Amitabha.

Just burn me paper money when I come back!
