Even though it was only one of the mountains on Nine Radiance Mountain Range, it was extremely vast, rose and fell continuously, and occupied a few tens of thousands of kilometers.
When one looked down from high above in the air, the entire West Radiance Peace was like a lotus flower in full blood within the vast mountain range. Its petals touched the sky, it was suffused with divine lights, and it was extremely exquisite.
Two streaks tore through the sea of clouds as they flashed towards West Radiance Peak, and they were precisely Chen Xi and Qing Yu whoâd just returned from True Martial Peak.
âJunior Brother Chen, youâre a disciple that Master just took, so you probably still donât know that our West Radiance Peak is different from the other peaks, and it only possesses six Elite DisciplesâŚâ Qing Yu introduced the situation on West Radiance Peak in detail as they flashed through the sky.
It turned out the Madman Liu had only taken a total of six disciples on West Radiance Peak, and there were only seven when Chen Xi was added on, causing it to be pitiably few and far from being able to compare with the other peaks.
For example, the East Radiance Peak had over 1,600 Elite Disciples, and was filled with talents. Moreover, there were countless maidservants and attendants on the peak. It was the strongest peak amongst the âfour Elite Disciple Peaksâ of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect.
The so called four Elite Disciple Peaks pointed towards the East Radiance, West Radiance, South Radiance, and North Radiance Peaks.
Besides the East Radiance Peak being filled with talents and flourishing with strength, the South Radiance Peak wasnât weak either. The disciples that cultivated on it were all of the School of Fiendgod Body Refinement, and they were known for being valiant and ferocious.
Besides that, the disciples taken by the North Radiance Peak were all female cultivators, causing it to possess an aloof status, and its strength couldnât be underestimated either. According to what Qing Yu said, the current number one figure amongst the Elite Disciples of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect was a proud female genius from the North Radiance Peak!
Compared to this, only the West Radiance Peak seemed to be rather abnormal by only possessing a mere six Elite Disciples, or seven when Chen Xi was included, causing its forces to be weak to the limit and practically have no sense of existence in the Nine Radiance Sword Sect.
âWhy is it like this?â Chen Xi asked curiously.
âThis is Masterâs decision. According to what he said, in the matter of taking disciples, it was fine to not take anyone, but if he did, then he wanted to take the best and most unique. Otherwise, if he took a big pile of trash, they would be pleasant to the eye, but of no use.â Qing Yu spoke with a prideful expression, and he obviously agreed extremely with this viewpoint of Madman Liuâs.
âOh?â Chen Xi came to a sudden understanding, and then he rubbed his nose as he said with a smile, âI never imagined that I was actually able to be chosen as well, I really do feel slightly overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.â
Qing Yu seemed to have thought of something, causing his handsome face to instantly reveal extreme embarrassment, and he really didnât know how to reply.
âHaha! What bullshit uniqueness?! Junior Brother Qing Yu, I never noticed that you whoâs a rather honest person would actually become so arrogant when boasting as well. Does anyone in the Nine Radiance Sword Sect not know of the name of the âsix idiots of West Radiance Peak?â
âHey, Senior Brother Du, stop frustrating Junior Brother Qing Yu. Heâs already extremely pitiable. He doesnât fight back when struck, nor does he talk back when insulted, is there a person more pitiable than him in the world?â
âHahahaâŚâ Right at this moment, a wave of loud laughter resounded out in the distant sea of clouds, and their voices contained unconcealed ridicule and mocking.
Chen Xi glanced at Qing Yu who was by his side, and he saw the face of this handsome and pure young man was flushed completely red, and he was angered to the point his entire body started trembling. But he puckered his lips tightly and appeared to only dare feel indignant, yet not dare say anything.
âJunior Brother Chen, letâs go. Donât pay attention to these bored people.â Qing Yu spoke swiftly with a low voice, and his voice faintly carried a trace of terror and worry.
âWait. Junior Brother Qing Yu, donât blame Senior Brother for turning hostile and being merciless if you dare leave!â A loud shout sounded out.
Accompanying this voice was a wave of roiling in the depths of the sea of clouds, and then a few golden rays of light tore through the sky like waterfalls, and they moved with extremely swift speed to arrive in the blink of an eye.
It was a group of young men and women, they either wore magnificent feather clothes, dazzling armor, or fluttering dresses. The young men were handsome, the young women beautiful and moving, and they were extremely striking.
At the instant they appeared, they encircled Chen Xi and Qing Yu with domineering attitudes. Obviously, theyâd done this more than once, and their movements were extremely skillful.
âWhat are all of you planning to do!?â Qing Yu spoke with a voice that slightly lacked confidence, and it wasnât like questioning tone but rather like the wail of an infant beast when fallen into a difficult position, and the sight of it caused Chen Xi to shake his head.
But Chen Xi didnât say anything further. Heâd just arrived at the Nine Radiance Sword Sect, he was a stranger in a strange place, and he could be said to be completely in the dark. So it just happened that he could use this opportunity to properly survey the place he would be cultivating at in the future and find out exactly what sort of situation it was in.
âHey, this Junior Brother is extremely unfamiliar. He wouldnât be a disciple Martial Uncle Liu just took, right?â One of them laughed with ridicule, and he directly overlooked Qing Yuâs threat before raising his eyes to size Chen Xi up.
He wore a black robe, had a white and narrow face, and his eyes were filled with an unruly light. His appearance was somewhat handsome yet his voice was like broken drum, hoarse and sharp, and it was extremely ear piercing and unpleasant to the ear.
âHe seems to be so. I heard the various elders headed out in all directions and searched high and low a few days ago, and all of them brought back some young talents that theyâd taken as Elite Disciples. This Junior Brother before us is surely someone Martial Uncle Liu brought back.â
âOh, in this way, this Junior Brother is a âuniqueâ genius as well?â
âHaha! Yeah, unique, exactly!â
All the young men and women brazenly sized Chen Xi up. They held ridiculing gazes as they roared with laughter, and they seemed as if they were looking at an enormous joke.
âAll of you⌠Donât go too far!â Qing Yu was furious to the point his entire face flushed red, and he roared with indignation.
âToo far? Have we gone too far?â The black robed young man with a sharp and unpleasant voice laughed with ridicule as he said, âArenât all the disciples of your West Radiance Peak unique? Did I say something wrong?â
Qing Yu was angered to the point his chest rose and fell indeterminately, and he was already unable to speak.
Even at this moment, he still didnât have the slightest intention to resist, and the sight of it caused the nearby Chen Xi to sigh. This Senior Brother of mine is trulyâŚtoo kind hearted!
âSenior Brother Qing Yu, letâs go.â Chen Xi patted Qing Yu on the shoulder before turning around with the intention of leaving.
He was slightly unable to bear the sight of this any longer, but he thought of how heâd just arrived at the Nine Radiance Sword Sect and it wasnât suitable to cause trouble, so he intended to figure out the situation first before making a decision.
âOh, okay.â Qing Yu nodded repeatedly.
âWait! Who allowed both of you to leave?â The black robed young man said coldly, âThis Junior Brother is new and probably doesnât know the rules of our Nine Radiance Sword Sect clearly. Why donât you stay back and allow us to provide you with guidance?â
âDu Guan! Donât go too far!â Qing Yuâs face swiftly turned grim when he heard they wanted Chen Xi to stay back, and he seemed to have recalled a memory that he couldnât bear to recall, causing him to roar with rage. Moreover, his voice started trembling as he spoke because of his agitation.
âWeâre helping to guide this Junior Brother with good intentions. Junior Brother Qing Yu, arenât you being too rude?â Du Guan chuckled as he spoke unhurriedly.
âYeah, yeah. The disciple of your West Radiance Peak is the Junior Brother of our East Radiance Peak as well. Weâre all from the same sect, so whatâs there to be anxious of when weâre just having a conversation together?â The others spoke in support from the side, and they held ridiculing expressions as they spoke sarcastically.
âYouâŚâ Qing Yu glared furiously, and his voice trembled without end.
âItâs fine, Junior Brother Qing Yu.â Chen Xi walked forward as he interrupted Qing Yu, and then he faced Du Guan and the others as he said with a smile, âSince fellow seniors want to guide me, a newbie, then it couldnât be any better. I wonder where weâll start from?â
âJunior Brother ChenâŚâ Qing Yu was extremely anxious. He knew Chen Xiâs strength wasnât bad, but the eight disciples before them were renowned bullies of the East Radiance Peak, so wouldnât they be beaten half dead if they offended these disciples?
âRelax,â said Chen Xi indifferently via voice transmission.
His voice seemed as if it had magical powers, causing Qing Yuâs restless and uneasy heart to become much calmer for no reason or rhyme.
He didnât continue dissuading Chen Xi but explained swiftly. âJunior Brother Chen Xi, the person in the lead, Du Guan, is from the Nethercrow Clan of the myriad of clans from the primordial era. He possesses formidable strength, behaves extremely ruthlessly, and heâs already about to advance into the Nether Transformation Realm. Every single one of his henchmen possess strengths that canât be looked down upon, so you have to be careful. Flee if you canât defeat them because you ought to still be able to make it if you turn around and flee to True Martial Peak now.â
Chen Xi couldnât help but laugh bitterly without end in his heart. This Senior Brother of mine is too kind hearted in the end, or is it too weak and soft? But his concern towards Chen Xi came from the heart, and this was something Chen Xi was still able to perceive.
Du Guan was stunned as he seemed to have never expected that Chen Xi would actually agree so readily, and then he snapped his fingers as he said casually, âJunior Brother, you have great courage! Itâs very simple, the rule of our Nine Radiance Sword Sect isâŚâ
âGetting bashed!â A male disciple by Du Guanâs side seized the opportunity to answer Du Guan, and as soon as he finished speaking, the others were already roaring with laughter.
The others crossed their arms before themselves successively, and they seemed as if they going to watch a show.
âRight, itâs precisely getting bashed.â Du Guan said in all seriousness, âThereâs great attention to be paid to when getting bashed. It must dispel the pride, laziness, arrogance, wildness, and other bad habits you possess. In this way, the state of your minds would become more beneficial to your cultivation.â
When he saw Du Guan reveal such an appearance, the female disciple amongst the group couldnât refrain from laughing as she felt her Senior Brother Du was too good at playing tricks on people, and anyone who fell into his hands would surely be played like a fool.
âGetting bashed?â Chen Xi seemed to be lost in thought as he nodded, and then sighed with emotion. âThis is really an indescribably brilliant method.â
âThat isnâtâŚâ Du Guan had a complacent expression as he spoke subconsciously, and then he realized the person that spoke these words was Chen Xi, and his expression couldnât help but go grim as he grunted coldly. âKid, you motherfucking dareâŚâ
He hadnât finished speaking when he felt something flash before his eyes, and then Chen Xiâs figure had actually vanished on the spot.
In the next moment, a resounding slap sounded out. Every saw that Du Guanâs entire body was slapped flying, and he didnât even have the time to activate the protective magic treasures in his possession!
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out of Du Guanâs mouth as his face swelled to the point it was like the head of a pig, and a few teeth were sprayed out along with the blood!
The mouths of everyone gaped wide open, as they never imagined that Du Guan would actually suffer such humiliation!
âBastard! Youâre courting death, youâre courting death by doing this!â Du Guan was struck by the slap to the point his head droned, and he was completely furious as he let out an exceedingly sharp roar.
Another resounding slap sounded out as Du Guanâs entire body was directly slapped flying 300 meters away, and he was struck to the point his nose started bleeding while stars danced before his eyes.
âIsnât getting bashed beneficial to cultivating? Now that I speak of it, Senior Brother Du, you ought to thank me because Iâm helping you clear your mind to cultivate.â Chen Xi walked forward and spoke with a grin.
