The Great Wild God - Chapter 76
Chapter 76 A Concentric Calamity
Chen Xun lifted Su Qingfeng, Ge Yi, and the others out, causing everyone’s expressions to slow down slightly.
“What details do you have?” Su Quan spread out his Qi and allowed Chen Xun to be free, but his pair of sinister eyes were still fixed on Chen Xun’s face. If he was a little unprepared, he would turn his face and mercilessly kill him on the spot.
“Chen Xun was originally from Cloud Continent. He followed his father to Python Fang Ridge to collect herbs in the early years. His father died from lightning strikes. Chen Xun was also seriously injured by lightning strikes. His memories were scattered and he forgot where he came from. After being rescued by the Black Python Clansmen, he had lived in the Black Python Village for four years.”
Chen Xun explained some things and said,
“Su Qingfeng general originally wanted to recommend disciples directly into the Azure Water College, but the python to his disciples have a life-saving grace, the disciple just declined Su Qingfeng’s kindness, determined to represent the python, participate in the tribal trials. This matter was also approved by General Su Qingfeng and Ge Yi. Su Ling should also know the twists and turns. Disciple really doesn’t understand that he didn’t mention this matter long ago, but today, he suddenly wanted to pour dirty water on his disciple’s head, saying that disciple’s intentions are bad … ”
“Ge Yi, come over here and talk!” Su Quan exhaled and shouted at the foot of Dragon Binding Mountain.
Chen Xun turned around and saw Ge Yi dressed in a black battle robe and rushing over. Seeing Su Ling’s pale face, he thought to himself, “Su Ling asked Ghost Faction to encourage him to jump out and spill dirty water on his head. Haven’t you thought about the twists and turns in this? Isn’t it not hard to explain?”
Ge Yi ran to the top of the mountain, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Su Quan, the old man in green and the others, “Ge Yi greets Fourth Master, Elders …”
“Is what he said true?” Su Quan frowned and asked.
Ge Yi said respectfully, “Last year, Ge Yi met Chen Xun when he followed Master Thirteen to the northern mountain of the Python Tooth Ridge to conduct business. This time, he went to the northern mountain of the Python Tooth Ridge to select the disciples of the Academy. Master Thirteen said that Ge Yi would go to the northern mountain of the Python Tooth Ridge to bring Chen Xun back to Cang Lan …”
Hearing Ge Yi’s words, the expressions of the others slowed down. They thought to themselves that with this kid’s late-stage True Yang Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was actually able to withstand the pressure released by the nine of them. No wonder Su Qingfeng paid so much attention to him.
This youth was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Four years ago, he had been taken in by the Black Python. He was not even ten years old. Even if other sects wanted to infiltrate the Azure Water School through this method, they would not send him to the Black Python beforehand.
The decision to extend the tentacles to the northern mountain of the Python Fang Ridge and let the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor recommend the disciples of the northern mountain tribe to enter the Azure Water College for cultivation was only made in these two years. Which sect could bury such a hidden hand two to three years ahead of schedule without foreknowledge?
Although Chen Xun said that he didn’t have a clear memory of what had happened in the past, it couldn’t be considered a doubt in the eyes of the crowd.
Everyone present had cultivated for a hundred years, and had never encountered anything strange?
As a result, this became the internal affairs of the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor. The old man in green and the others wanted to leave first, and Su Ling was the old man’s nephew and grandson. No one wanted to pursue him for the responsibility of falsely accusing him.
As long as they were disciples of the Su Clan, even if they were estranged from their direct descendants, they would still need to be taken care of in the Azure Water College.
Su Quan’s expression was uncertain as he asked Ge Yi in a low voice, “Is that the truth?”
“Ge Yi didn’t dare to lie to Fourth Master in the slightest,” Ge Yi said.
Chen Xunyuan’s little farce would end here, but he didn’t expect Su Quan’s expression to be so ugly. His heart skipped a beat. Only then did he know that he had thought of this matter too simply.
Su Junyuan had been in seclusion for many years. He ignored the world and broke through to the peak of the late Reincarnation Realm. His chances of advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm were very slim.
If Su Junyuan died, the next master of Su Wuwei’s mansion would be decided between Su Qingfeng and Su Quan.
In fact, Su Qingfeng and Su Quan were already at odds with each other, and both of them wanted to fight for the position of Martial Lieutenant Su’s Manor Master.
Ghost Faction urged Su Ling to jump out and stir up trouble, not because he wanted to kill him, but because he had already figured out Su Quan’s mentality and wanted to borrow Su Quan’s hand to expel him from the Azure Water College …
*******************
Su Quan also struggled in his heart.
He could tell that Elder Su Fanglong and the others were quite appreciative of the youth in front of him.
He was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Not only did he successfully break into the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase and obtain the identity of a disciple in profound clothes, he could even withstand the pressure of the nine of them. Even if he wasn’t born with the Ancient Desolate Bloodline, his soul was exceptionally sturdy and was a rare talent for cultivation.
Although this youth was not a clan disciple and it was a bit irregular for him to obtain the qualifications to enter the Azure Water College through tribal trials, to the Three Commandments and Six Commandants Manor, any disciple who had the potential to enter the Reincarnation Realm was an indescribably precious resource.
Just like Qianlan, even if she hadn’t crossed the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase, the Academy would still want to recruit her because she possessed the Ancient Desolate Bloodline.
Qianlan was so young that she already had a decent cultivation base. In the future, she would even have a chance to break through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm.
Everyone present was only at the middle and late stages of the Reincarnation Realm. Perhaps they had no hope of advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm in this lifetime, but they also knew that with such a seedling, any rules drawn up by the Su Clan were nothing but waste paper.
Cultivators had a clear mind, so they naturally knew the same rules, but in reality, there were a hundred dangers without any benefits.
At the same time, Su Quan was also worried that if he really wanted to expel this youth now, would Elder Su Fanglong and the others have any other thoughts? Would they dislike him for openly suppressing the disciples that Qing Feng valued?
Seeing that Su Quan’s expression was uncertain, Chen Xun raised his heart to his throat, wondering if he could enter the Azure Water College in a flash.
Before entering Azure Water City, Chen Xun’s desire to enter Azure Water Learning Academy wasn’t that strong. However, after staying in the monastery for more than ten days, he realized that the resources he could obtain from entering the sect for cultivation were absolutely unimaginable to rogue cultivators.
Chen Xun had benefited greatly from the hundreds of simple introductory silk manuals in the monastery study.
Su Quan considered it over and over again. He also felt that expelling this youth from the Azure Water College like this was too unsightly. He wanted to suppress this matter and discuss it later.
“Fourth Master, Lou Jiao has something to report …”
The hook-nosed deacon in front of Su Lingmei couldn’t help but jump out.
Chen Xun felt a chill run down his spine when he heard that his surname was Lou. He knew that Ghost Faction was determined to drive him out of the Azure Water College, but it was only then that he could deal with him calmly.
“What do you have to say?” Su Quan asked.
Lou Jiao glanced at Chen Xun with a cold light flashing across his face, and his gloomy eyes seemed to contain ice.
As if an invisible aura had been released, Lou Jiao walked over to Su Quan and the old man in green to speak. Chen Xun was close, but he could not hear a single sound. However, seeing Su Quan, the old man in green, and the others’ slightly suspicious eyes, he knew that the situation at that time was definitely not good for him.
In an instant, Su Quan Cai restrained his gloomy eyes and asked Ge Yi, “Is what Lou Jiao said true?”
Ge Yi looked helplessly at Chen Xun and said, “The fact that the disciples of the Northern Mountain of Python Fang Ridge were able to obtain five Iron Trial Plates is indeed due to Chen Xun’s coordination. As for the seven talismans and three Nine Yuan Orifice Nurturing Pills that the Gui Xi Tribe produced to protect the lives of the barbarians, they are indeed equally divided among the tribes of the Northern Mountain …”
Chen Xun could also understand everything at this time. Lou Jiao saw that he couldn’t expel Su Qingfeng by taking advantage of Su Quan’s suspicion of Su Qingfeng, so he couldn’t care less about concealing the scandal that the Gui Xi Tribe had done during the trial.
The feud between the Black Python and the Su Clan had passed hundreds of years ago. Even the Black Python Clansmen were unwilling to mention it. Few people in the Su Clan would pay attention to the Black Python. However, the North Mountain Tribes had a hidden alliance, and the Su Clan definitely did not want to see it.
Goodbye to Su Quan, the old man in green, and the others. Their eyes were hesitant as they looked at Qianlan. Chen Xunxin felt even colder. He knew that Lou Jiao must have told them the real reason why Qianlan was determined to stay in the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion. This would only exacerbate Su Quan’s and the others’ suspicions.
“Nonsense!” Su Quan no longer had any scruples. His eyes lit up and he suppressed his voice and angrily berated Ge Yi, “The rules set by the Azure Water School should not be allowed to be messed around. Those who are not from the clan should participate in the trials of the clan’s disciples. Aren’t they all messed up? Quickly expel this child from the Dragon Binding Mountain …”
When Ge Yi heard Fourth Master shouting at him like thunder, he wasn’t afraid at all. However, seeing the opinions of all the elders, it was rare for them to support Fourth Master unanimously. He knew that even if Thirteenth Master rushed back, he might not be able to change the outcome.
Even if the Dark Python had been able to unite the more than 40 tribes in the north of Python Fang Ridge, its strength was still far inferior to the Gui Xi Tribe’s, what qualifications could it have to call the Su Clan’s suspicion?
Moreover, Chen Xun had only entered the Azure Water College in the name of the Black Python. With Master Thirteen’s face, and Master Fourth’s indecisive temperament, he might not really expel Chen Xun from the academy for fear of losing his breath.
However, the situation was different when it came to Qianlan.
The Azure Water School might not be able to meet a good seedling with a Desolate Ancient bloodline within thirty to fifty years. In the future, they might even have the chance to advance to the Heaven Origin Realm. Fourth Master and Fourth Elder naturally hoped that Qianlan would be used by the Su Clan in the future and be loyal to the Azure Water School.
At the same time, he blamed Chen Xun for being too outstanding during the trial, and he had already become the core of the Northern Mountain Five.
Qianlan didn’t hesitate to give up the opportunity to directly enter the Academy and stay in the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion. In the end, she wanted to cultivate with Chen Xun and the others.
Chen Xun’s existence was likely to directly affect the Su Clan’s control over Qianlan in the future. This was definitely not what the Su Clan or the Azure Water College wanted to see.
Even though Chen Xun’s cultivation aptitude was also excellent, it was not clear at a glance what the outcome would be if he chose between Chen Xun and Qianlan.
When Gu Jianfeng and the others heard that Su Quanting was furious and wanted to expel Chen Xun, their faces turned pale in shock.
How could they have known that people would be so sinister? Lou Jiao had only provoked a few words, causing Su Quan, the green-robed old man, and a bunch of other elder-level figures to change their attitudes towards this matter.
“Disciple Gu Jianfeng, I beg Fourth Master to take back his orders. Otherwise, I would not have the face to stay in the Azure Water College!” Gu Jianfeng lay on the ground, betting on his future and seeking love for Chen.
Su Quanyuan was still skeptical of Lou Jiao’s words. He didn’t believe that a mere thirteen or fourteen year old youth could have such a strong scheming and cohesive force. He guessed that Qianlan was determined to stay in the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion. Perhaps it was because the girl’s love for him had just begun to open up. He thought that as long as he expelled Chen Xun, Qianlan would concentrate on cultivating for several years, the past would disappear.
At this moment, Gu Jianfeng didn’t hesitate to bet on his future and kneel down to seek love for Chen. Su Quan’s face sank, and he was about to expel both of them immediately.
“Jianfeng, treat me as a brother and stand up. Don’t plead for mercy for me!” Chen Xun was touched to see that Zong Ling, Nan Xi, and Qian Lan were all going to kneel down with Gu Jianfeng to plead for him, but he knew that something bad had happened.
He could only scold Gu Jianfeng harshly before Su Quan attacked,
“The Black Python owes me shelter. I only accompanied Zong Ling this time. Nanxi walked all the way into Azure Water City. I personally may not respect the Su Clan’s profound arts. It really doesn’t matter if I can’t enter the Academy. Don’t plead for mercy on my behalf …”
Seeing that Chen Xun was only thirteen or fourteen years old, not only did he not have the slightest bit of respect for them, he even spoke wildly. Su Quan was extremely angry and laughed. However, there were more than a hundred thousand people watching the introductory ceremony at the foot of Dragon Binding Mountain, so he could not do anything to this youth. He immediately waved his sleeve, and a powerful force smashed into Chen Xun’s face.
Chen Xun didn’t expect Su Quanhui to suddenly attack him. The Vajra Profound Armor on his body didn’t even have the slightest reaction. He directly rolled down from the tenth floor of the Heavenly Staircase and more than 3,000 steps of the Azure Stage. Along the way, he fell down with a swollen nose and a swollen face. He lay on the plaza at the foot of the mountain, his muscles and bones seemingly broken.
