Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 13 - Shocking, Outrageous Rumors



Chapter 13: Shocking, Outrageous Rumors

?

Gu Xi looked at the disciple who had mocked him.

The disciple did not know why, but when he looked into those calm black eyes, he felt an invisible pressure. The disciple felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he was looking into an endless abyss.

He could not believe that he was actually frightened by an ordinary disciple like Gu Xi. He was instantly enraged from embarrassment, “What are you looking at! Am I wrong?”

Gu Xi retracted his gaze, opened his palm, and revealed an inner core, “Although I didn’t kill the Scarlet Eye Demonic Tiger, I brought this back.”

“Don’t bring back all kinds of rubbish–”

Before the disciple could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the person in charge. He suddenly stood up from the chair and said in disbelief, “This is the inner core of the evil ape?!”

Moreover, looking at the quality of this inner core, it was actually a Golden Core evil ape.

Everyone was immediately shocked. Although the Black-armored Evil Ape could not be compared to the Red-eyed Demon Tiger, its strength could not be underestimated. Its nature was brutal, and it also carried poison. Compared to the Red-eyed Demon Tiger, the evil ape was actually more difficult to deal with. It even had a strong defense, making it quite tricky to fight.

The person in charge picked up the inner core and observed it. He was certain that it was taken out of the evil ape’s body.

“You obtained this?”

“Yes, I met an evil ape on the way, so I killed it.”

Gu Xi’s tone was calm and casual, as if it could not be any more simple. There was also a mission to kill a Black-armored Evil Ape on the Heaven List. It was also ranked at the top.

The previous disciple could not help but say, “How can you kill the Black-armored Evil Ape with your strength alone?! You must have stolen or bought this inner core!”

As soon as he said this, he felt a little regretful. As expected, seeing Gu Xi looked at him like a fool. He sneered and said, “Go and try to steal one.”

It was almost impossible to find such an inner core in such a short time. It would not be on the market. After all, this inner core was worth thousands of gold coins, and it was very rare.

If Gu Xi had this kind of money, he would be able to buy a lot of Heavenly treasures and medicinal pills to consolidate his cultivation. He would have definitely entered the sect long ago.

That disciple felt as if a loud slap had hit his face. Gu Xi did not even look at him. Then, he walked out of the Mission Hall, leaving only a cool back view for everyone.

After a long time, they finally came back to their senses and stammered, “Did he... Did he really kill the Black-armored Evil Ape?”

“He must have. After all, even the inner core is in his hands. It can’t be fake...”

“But he is clearly just an in-name disciple!”

The shock in everyone’s heart could not be described in words. Were they hallucinating? What had happened to the world? Soon, what happened in the Mission Hall swept out like a storm.

“Hey, did you hear? An in-name disciple actually completed the Heaven List mission and killed the Black-armored Evil Ape!”

“Pass it down. A disciple in the sect fought with the Black-armored Evil Ape for 300 rounds and finally killed it!”

“What! 300 disciples were sacrificed. It alarmed the mysterious big shot in the sect. He killed the monster in one move and avenged his Junior Brothers.”

“What you said is all wrong. A powerful demon appeared in the Ice Mountain Range and swallowed 3,000 people alive. Now even the Sect Leader has been alarmed! We are forbidden from approaching the mountain range.”

...

As the rumors spread like wildfire, becoming more and more ridiculous. All of a sudden, various versions appeared and became the topic of conversation for many disciples.

As a result, when Shen Tianyi heard the news, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Sect Leader, should we stop him? Otherwise, who knows what will happen if word gets out.”

Shen Tianyi shook his head, “We can put this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to find Gu Xi first.”

However, the eldest disciple who was sent out came back to report that Gu Xi had left the sect after coming out from the Mission Hall.

Shen Tianyi immediately became nervous, “What! He actually left? Where did he go?”

It turned out that Gu Xi had suddenly received a letter from the clan, requesting him to return as soon as possible.

The clan head of the Gu Clan was already very old, but unfortunately, his line of descendants was weak and did not have any children. He decided to select an outstanding successor in the clan, so the disciples outside had to rush back to participate in such a grand event.

The Gu Clan could also be considered a clan with a long history. There were once Half-step Great Emperors and other such figures, but as time passed, the later generations became weaker and weaker. Even so, their strength could not be underestimated.

Gu Xi looked at the majestic buildings in front of him. It was obvious that they were quite old. The towering pavilions were extraordinary. There were two huge stone lions at the entrance. They were lifelike and were carved out of high-quality Water Spirit Jade, it was obvious that they were not something an ordinary family could have.

However, Gu Xi was stopped at the entrance. They stared at him and said, “Identity token!”

There were many disciples in the Gu Clan. In order to facilitate access, everyone had an identity token, which recorded their cultivation level and which branch they came from.

Although Gu Xi’s branch could be considered a direct descendant, his parents had died early, and the public had long since forgotten about him. In fact, he was even worse than some of the other branches.

The guard at the door immediately showed some contempt, “You can go that way.”

The place he was referring to was the side door, and the contempt in it was self-evident.

Gu Xi frowned. The side door was usually the place where the servants and peasants went in and out. No matter how bad he was, he was still a direct descendant. If it had been the previous original owner, he might have swallowed his anger, but he could not do it.

One must not give up on pride. Some things could be tolerated, and some things could not be tolerated.

“Why can’t I go through the main gate?”

A few gatekeepers looked Gu Xi up and down and said sarcastically, “Why don’t you look at yourself? With trash like you, you still want to go through the main gate?”

They knew very well that Gu Xi did not have the strength or background, so they were not afraid of offending him.

Gu Xi also found it funny. He did not expect to find such lowly servants who looked down on others when he returned to his own home.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. A few snow-white horses appeared in their line of sight. They had wings and a single horn on their head. They were Gale Horses with Qi cultivation strength, and they had always been known for their speed. They could travel thousands of miles in a day.

Gale Horses were extremely rare because their speed was extremely fast, comparable to wind and thunder. It was simply difficult to catch them. Each one was worth a thousand gold coins.

The few people on the horses looked down from above. Their clothes were extraordinary, and their bodies also revealed a lot of pressure. When the gatekeeper saw them, he pushed away Gu Xi and warmly welcomed them.
