Chapter 247: The Fire Sect Master’s Wager
Bang!
The fist landed squarely on the Fire Sect Master’s body.
The Fire Sect Master didn’t dodge.
However, he wasn’t injured at all.
No, it wasn’t that he wasn’t injured, but…
As everyone focused their gazes, they realized that Guo Weiwei’s fist didn’t even land on his body!
Instead, it landed on a protective qi barrier around his body!
This guy… didn’t even use his spiritual energy…
Even a core formation realm expert had to use his spiritual energy to form a protective qi barrier if he wanted to block the attack.
Unless it was a nascent soul realm cultivator…
Because in the dantian there would have been a condensed nascent soul, it could automatically activate a passive qi barrier.
Could it be that this guy was…
Everyone thought of that possibility, and then their faces turned pale as they looked at the Fire Sect Master in horror.
Perhaps it was to confirm everyone’s guess.
The Fire Sect Master smiled, and spiritual power burst out from his body. A shadow that was sitting cross-legged slowly appeared behind him.
This was the shadow of his dantian.
It was also the projection of the nascent soul in his dantian.
Everyone stared at the shadow, and they knew in their hearts…
That this guy had indeed entered the nascent soul realm!
“How could it be… This guy… this guy… is actually a nascent soul realm cultivator?”
“No, no. Grandmaster once said that a hundred years ago, the spiritual energy in the Martial Arts Continents had suddenly weakened, and the difficulty of cultivation instantly increased by hundreds of times. After that, there was no nascent soul realm cultivator in the Eastern Plains anymore.”
“Previously, many nascent soul realm cultivators couldn’t survive in the Eastern Plains because of the thin spiritual energy, so they all went to other plains…”
“The spiritual energy of the Central Plains, which is close to the Eastern Plains, has also been greatly reduced. Not only is it difficult for them to cultivate to the nascent soul realm, but they can only cultivate martial arts instead of cultivation techniques. That’s why it’s extremely difficult for them to even reach the core formation realm…”
“This fellow is also from the Central Plains. How could he be in the nascent soul realm?”
“This doesn’t make sense…”
The crowd was filled with noise.
The Fire Sect Master grinned after he released the nascent soul shadow in his dantian. He didn’t move as he looked at Guo Weiwei who was in front of him. He just glanced at him.
Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared on Guo Weiwei’s body!
The fire didn’t burn Guo Weiwei’s skin. Instead, it directly evaporated all the spiritual energy in his body!
In almost an instant, Guo Weiwei was burned to the point where not a single bit of spiritual energy was left. He fell to the ground like a cripple, unable to use any more martial arts techniques.
One had to know that Guo Weiwei… was a foundation establishment realm cultivator!
Such cultivation could be considered top-notch in the current situation.
But in the hands of the Fire Sect Master, he couldn’t even last for more than one move…
Gulp…
Many of the Green Dragon Sect disciples who wanted to stand up for Master Lingkong saw this scene and gulped. They silently took a few steps back.
Many others who had already activated their spiritual power and were about to swing their longswords also slowly withdrew their spiritual power. Their previously raised heads were gradually lowered…
The Fire Sect Master looked at the retreating Green Dragon Sect disciples and smiled as he walked down the Green Dragon platform.
Every time he took a step towards the crowd, the crowd would take a step back.
When he arrived in front of Master Lingkong, no one dared to step forward.
The person closest to him was also five meters away.
Upon seeing this scene, the Fire Sect Master laughed.
He laughed loudly.
He laughed very happily.
“Hahahahaha!
“Lingkong, ah Lingkong…
“These are the disciples you have taught?
“Is everyone from the sect just a bunch of cowards?”
The Fire Sect Master picked up Master Lingkong with one hand and raised him up high, mocking him wantonly,
“Lingkong, let’s make a bet. Do you dare to accept my bet?”
“…”
Master Lingkong did not speak.
The Fire Sect Master continued to speak on his own,
“Of course, this bet of mine is also a bet with everyone present.”
He turned around to face everyone present and said in a clear voice,
“Everyone, listen up —
“At this moment, your Grandmaster, Master Lingkong’s spiritual power in his body has been sealed by me!
“He is no different from an ordinary old man.
“Now is a good opportunity for revenge! Everyone, those who were bullied by Master Lingkong in the past can all come up now. With just a casual slap, he will be killed immediately!”
“As for the person who dared to kill this old man, I will support him to be the next sect master of the Green Dragon Sect!
“Don’t worry, I, Huo Lingzi, will keep my word!
“If I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning!
“And no matter who it is, as long as he becomes the next sect master of the Green Dragon Sect, the four sects of the Central Plains will always be his allies! Whenever the Green Dragon Sect needs help, the divine Fire Sect will definitely be the first to arrive!
“At the same time, I will also teach the ultimate art of the Central Plains, the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic, to the next sect master of the Green Dragon Sect!”
The voice of the Fire Sect Master was loud and clear.
Very quickly, his voice reverberated throughout the entire spiritual altar of Green Dragon Mountain!
Everyone who heard this was shocked!
Especially Wang Shuang, who was standing on the spiritual altar. When he heard this, he was thoroughly excited.
‘The position as the sect master of the Green Dragon Sect…
‘The Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic…’
These were all things that he had coveted for a long time.
Now that the Fire Sect Master had said it in public, on the surface, it seemed like he was letting everyone fight over it.
However, in reality, it was to give him a chance to submit.
As long as he killed Master Lingkong, he would be able to obtain everything that he had always wanted.
It would depend on whether he dared to make a move!
Hu…
Hu…
Wang Shuang’s breathing was somewhat hurried due to his emotions.
He looked at Master Lingkong who didn’t have the strength to truss a chicken, and killing intent surged within his eyes.
…
At this moment, the other people below the stage didn’t speak.
They were all looking left and right, waiting to see if anyone would react.
Actually, everyone understood in their hearts at this moment.
Joining the Fire Sect Master as soon as possible was the best choice.
Their rational thinking told them that a nascent soul realm expert was more capable of protecting the sect than Master Lingkong.
The other party had already said that as long as they killed Master Lingkong, they would be able to immediately become the next sect master.
This temptation was very great.
Especially for many outer sect disciples.
Since they entered the sect, not only did they not have the qualifications to meet Master Lingkong, they were also unable to learn cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques from the core disciples. Instead, they had to start from the small matters such as chopping wood, starting the fire, washing clothes, and cooking.
It could be said that they were the lowest level of the sect and had no authority.
In their original life, not to mention becoming the sect master of the Green Dragon Sect, even the most basic of all, to be able to learn the Green Dragon Life Form Technique of the Green Dragon Sect was a goal that they could only dream of…
Thus, they actually did not have any sense of belonging to the Green Dragon Sect.
They also didn’t have any feelings towards Master Lingkong.
At this moment, even if Master Lingkong died right in front of them, they might not have any emotional fluctuations…
Under such circumstances, the Fire Sect Master’s suggestion was very tempting…
Of course, this was the thought of the outer sect disciples,
To the many inner sect disciples, they still had feelings towards the Green Dragon Sect.
After all, they had already come into contact with the cultivation techniques, and they also had the opportunity to come into contact with some of the lower Yellow-grade martial arts techniques of the sects.
Therefore, they still had a certain sense of belonging to the Green Dragon Sect
However, they didn’t have such a strong sense of belonging to Master Lingkong.
Because…they could hardly ever see his figure all year round.
Therefore, they didn’t really care who the sect master was.
Because it didn’t affect them.
And if they had a chance to become the sect master…
They didn’t mind giving it a try.
Regardless, they still resisted the idea of killing their master.
This was the only thing they hesitated about…
…
Besides the outer and inner disciples, only the core disciples and the personal disciples were left.
