Chapter 403: Qualifiers for the Competition (2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hou Yu narrowed his eyes and his expression gradually darkened.

The unconcealed threat in Gu Xi’s words made him feel completely humiliated.

After all, he was one of the top figures of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the Eastern Continent. Now, he was actually being so brazenly threatened by a fellow of unknown origin… And in front of his Junior Brothers and Sisters!

If he did not show his attitude, he would become a big joke in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion if this matter spread out. He did not want to be called a coward by his Senior Brothers and Sisters!

“You defeated Zhang Zhan by luck. Do you really think you’re invincible?” Hou Yu spoke in a deep voice, and the spiritual power in his meridians began to circulate quietly.

“I told you. You can try if you don’t like it.” Gu Xi smiled faintly. His expression was still as calm as ever, as if he did not care about the Favored Son of Heaven of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

“Alright, stop bickering here. If you have this kind of ability, you might as well cultivate diligently and study more of the strong opponents in the Grand Sect Competition.”

Tang Conglin shook his head helplessly and stopped the two from taking the next step.

“If that’s the case, why don’t I enter the competition?” At the same time, Qing Zhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Everyone’s gaze fell on her involuntarily. Some frowned, while others maintained a disdainful attitude. Even Tang Conglin was still hesitant, he did not dare to hand over this task so easily.

“That’s good. Then I’ll look forward to your performance.” Amidst the silence, Tong Shan nodded with a smile. He decided on this matter without hesitation and gave the spot to Qing Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yu and the others frowned and looked at Tong Shan in confusion.

Was there any difference between giving the spot to Qing Zhu and giving it to Gu Xi? Both of them were not disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. It was undoubtedly an impulsive decision given their unclear identities.

Even Tang Conglin was puzzled at the moment. However, he did not show it because he knew that Tong Shan must have his own considerations for agreeing so readily.

Tong Shan naturally knew the doubts in Tang Conglin’s heart. He stood up and whispered a few words into the latter’s ear. Immediately after, Tang Conglin’s face was filled with shock, even the way he looked at Qing Zhu changed drastically.

Tong Shan whispered five simple words into Tang Conglin’s ears: Ten Thousand Treasures Golden Token!

These five simple words were enough to prove the power behind Qing Zhu. Even if they still did not know Qing Zhu’s exact background, those who had the Ten Thousand Treasures Golden Token would naturally not do anything harmful to their Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

“That’s great. It’s settled then.” Tang Conglin chuckled and agreed to Qing Zhu’s request without hesitation.

On the other hand, the others were at a loss. But seeing that the two Pavilion Masters had agreed to this, they naturally could not say anything more.

Gu Xi was also confused, but he tactfully did not ask. After all, who did not have a few secrets? Moreover, Qing Zhu’s strength was also unquestionable. With her help, the qualifier competition this time would be secured.

“Now that the candidates have been selected, I won’t go into details about the rules of the competition. After all, if you don’t pass the competition, you’ll only be asking for trouble if I tell you too much.”

Tang Conglin cleared his throat and continued with a smile, “There are still three days before the competition starts. For the rest of the time, you’ll stay here to cultivate and rest, waiting for the competition to arrive.”

“In addition, it’s best not to wander around these few days. Currently, most of the forces on the continent are gathered in Lanjiang City. It can be said that they are a mix of dragons and snakes. If anything were to happen to them, it would not be worth it if they were to lose their places in the competition,” Tong Shan instructed with a serious expression.

However, the few people present did not seem to care too much about his words. They simply bowed and left.

After all, they were all outstanding figures in the myriad treasures pavilion. They believed that they were superior and would not do anything even if they had conflicts with other forces.

“These brats are still wet behind the ears. I’m afraid they will be at a disadvantage if they have such a mentality.”

Looking at the receding figures of the few people, Tang Conglin shook his head helplessly.

“It can’t be helped. Who wasn’t arrogant when they were young?” Tong Shan gave a wry smile, his voice filled with emotion. He recalled how arrogant he was when he was young.

However, things were different now. After the baptism of time, his appearance was not the only thing that had changed. The bigger change was in his heart.

After everyone had left, Tang Conglin waved his hand and dismissed the maids and guards in the hall. He looked at Tong Shan incredulously and asked, “But do you think that woman is really holding the Ten Thousand Treasures Golden Token?”

Tong Shan nodded. He narrowed his eyes as if he was reminiscing. “Absolutely. Although I’ve only seen this thing once, I’m not mistaken. The unique fluctuations in the Ten Thousand Treasures Golden Token can not be faked.”

His words were firm and unquestionable.

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid that woman must be a direct descendant of some elder. It seems that I’ll have to send someone to follow her in secret. If anything happens to this little girl here, neither you nor I will be able to bear the consequences.” Tang Conglin spoke with a solemn expression. He could not help but break out in a cold sweat just by imagining the worst possible outcome.

“That’s right.” Tong Shan nodded his head.

…

On the other side, in the room.

After leaving the Hall, Gu Xi and the other two left under the lead of the maids, heading to the guest room that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had prepared for them in advance.

Gu Xi sat cross-legged on the soft bed, planning his next plan in his heart.

As long as he successfully made it through the qualifiers and advanced rapidly, with the overall strength of the Zhan Clan, the Qiankun Sect, the Ancient Sect, and other sects, it was likely that he would be able to meet them in the second half of the Grand Sect Competition.

Of course, if he was lucky enough, it was possible to match up with them in the qualifying rounds.

At that time, it would be the best time to take revenge!

Although killing was forbidden in the competition, it was a grand event that focused on fighting. It was not rare to accidentally kill someone in the competition…

If he could kill all the elite disciples of the Zhan Clan and other sects, it would be a devastating blow to them!
