However, among the group of people who came from the Brahma Temple, the person who grabbed the most attention was the Flowery Monk.

He was one of the leading characters in the Rising Sky Rankings Battle this time.

“The strength of the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi of the Pure Yang Shrine have always been neck-to-neck. This time, I wonder who will win and get first place in the Rising Sky Rankings! That’s the ultimate honor in our Rising Sky Mansion district after all! Whoever gets the first place will bring quite an extraordinary meaning to their respective forces.”

“That’s right! Whoever wins first place in the Rising Sky Rankings will definitely have more people fighting to join their respective force!”

“The charm of the champion of the Rising Sky Rankings is no joke at all!”

“Without a doubt, the first and the second place in the Rising Sky Rankings will definitely belong to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi. I’m just wondering if Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, will be able to get third place or not.”

“I think it’ll be hard. After all, Zhong Gu’s cultivation base has already broken through to the Refined Saint Stage now.”

“I don’t think so though... Even the Rising Sky Mansion will definitely take the Rising Sky Rankings Battle this time seriously as well. Therefore, they’d definitely have used up a great number of resources on Xu Jing. I won’t find it strange even if he has made a breakthrough to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage now.”

“You have a point! If Xu Jing has made a breakthrough to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage and Zhong Gu hasn’t, Zhong Gu will be no match for him at all.”

...

In the Nimble Valley, the topics of the discussions among everyone were either the Flowery Monk, Jing Xu Zi, Xu Jing or Zhong Gu.

Without a doubt, the four of them were the main characters in the eyes of the crowd.

After the group of people from the Brahma Temple arrived, they descended at the tip of the Nimble Valley where the Brahma Temple elder had brought people to occupy first a few days ago.

Other than the Flowery Monk, all of the monks were sitting quietly there without moving an inch at all, appearing like an array of statues.

Only the Flowery Monk was swiveling left and right before locking his gaze on one person.

It was a cold and aloof-looking young man who had a simple and unadorned sheathless sword in his hands. Hovering there quietly, he did not move an inch at all as he oozed a series of invisible sharp aura, as though his entire physique had transformed into a sword at that very moment.

Nonetheless, the reason he noticed this young man was not because of this.

When the Flowery Monk just arrived, he already noticed that among all of the people that he could see, this was the only person who had taken a blind eye to the arrival of him and their Brahma Temple posse.

Of course, perhaps this person never even stole a glance at them.

Given the state that this person was in now, he could still see that he had not completely shut off all of his five senses.

With him acting like this, he was either someone who considered himself remote and looked down on their Brahma Temple or he was someone who had remarkable strength and an uncommon background, thus not the arrival of the Brahma Temple posse did not elicit any interest from him at all.

However, the Flowery Monk’s intuition told him that this person did not belong to the former.

The Flowery Monk was a straightforward person. After his interest in this aloof man was perked, he straightaway walked over in the air and went to the young man’s side before taking the initiative to greet him. “Friend, are you here to join the Rising Sky Rankings Battle too?”

The young man opened his eyes and cast a nonchalant glance at the Flowery Monk before asking, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Friend, I’m called the Flowery Monk, but I wonder how should I address you,” the Flowery Monk replied with a smile.

“Li Feng.” Actually, the aloof man was none other than Duan Ling Tian.

Of course, although Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained distant, it was not the appearance that he had disguised as when he went to the Greenwave City. He had changed into another face using the Disguising Secret Tactic and though it was still aloof-looking, it was completely different from the Ling Tian last time.

Right now, he was here for the Rising Sky Rankings Battle.

Li Feng was his name now.

Li was his mother’s surname while Feng was taken from the last word of his cheapskate father’s name.

“So, you’re actually Brother Li Feng! Brother Li Feng, are you here to join the Rising Sky Rankings Battle too?” The Flowery Monk smiled till his eyes disappeared as he asked.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded indifferently while thinking to himself, ‘This Flowery Monk is just like what the rumors say. He’s really a vagabond who’s without an ounce of etiquette. Though he’s a monk, he doesn’t have the habit of one at all. No wonder he’s labeled as the Variant in the Brahma Temple by the people in the Rising Sky Mansion district. However, the fact that he could win against Xu Jing, that Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, is enough to prove that he’s not that simple as well.’

Of course, Duan Ling Tian, who had come to the Rising Sky Mansion district a while back, had heard of the Flowery Monk too.

In addition to the Flowery Monk, he had also heard of Jing Xu Zi too.

Just as the Flowery Monk was about to open his mouth to say something, he seemed to have noticed something and with a jolt, he tore his gaze away from Duan Ling Tian and looked in the distance.

A group of men was approaching in a great formation.

The person who was leading them was an old man who was wearing a dopo and held a whisk in his hand. The old man was medium-built and had white hair with a ruddy complexion. The robe on his body fluttered without any wind as he appeared to be like a saga.

There was a young man and two old men behind this old man who were all wearing dopo. Of the two old men, one was fat while one was skinny, with a temperament that was as though they had seen through the world.

Behind the four of them was a group of middle-aged and old Taoist priests.

“It’s the people from the Pure Yang Shrine!” At this moment, many people in the Nimble Valley recognized this group of people and they exclaimed out loud one by one.

Right now, the person who was leading the group of Taoist priests making their way there was none other than the Shrine Master of the Pure Yang Shrine.

As for the two old men behind him, they were the two Vice Shrine Masters of the Pure Yang Shrine. Standing beside the two Vice Shrine Masters were Jing Xu Zi, the most outstanding genius Dao Cultivator among the middle-aged generation in the Pure Yang Shrine.

In the Pure Yang Shrine, other than the older and younger generations, the people who were in the same generation as he was called him “Great Senior Brother”.

Hence, in the Rising Sky Mansion district, as long as the Great Senior Brother of the Pure Yang Shrine was mentioned, everyone knew that they were referring to him.

Unlike the Flowery Monk’s unruliness, Jing Xu Zi was a very solemn person. He was serious and stern. As the most outstanding genius powerhouse among the middle-aged generation in the Pure Yang Shrine, both of their strengths were almost on par with each other but their personalities were poles apart.

“Hehe... Jing Xu Zi, it has been quite some time since we last met. I’m taking the first place of the Rising Sky Rankings this time!” Looking at Jing Xu Zi, the Flowery Monk chuckled. His tone was filled with provocation.

In the Rising Sky Mansion district, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were a pair of mortal enemies. This was something everyone knew, thus the meeting between the two of them would always be unpleasant.

“Hmph!” In the face of the Flowery Monk provocation, Jing Xu Zi merely snorted and did not say anything more.

Even though he did not utter a word, the meaning he wanted to convey was obvious. He declined to comment on the Flowery Monk’s words. Truth be told, he did not think that the Flowery Monk would beat him and obtain the first place in the Rising Sky Rankings.
