Chu Bai had just been forced into a corner when the four of them swung their fists at him.

Chu Bai could sense the ferocity of these people’s fists, but he did not have the habit of taking them head-on. He slid to the ground and instantly shifted his position. Now, he was looking at the four people being forced into a corner by him.

“Flaming Palm!” Chu Bai held the sword in his left hand and struck out with his right hand. A fierce flame instantly engulfed the four of them.

The four of them did not even have time to scream. They closed their eyes in pain and were quickly burned to ashes.

Chu Bai panted heavily as he stood at the side and watched everything quietly. He had almost been forced into a corner by a few people just now. If he had not activated the dimensional ring to teleport his position, he might have really been in trouble.

After Chu Bai had settled everything, he turned around and was about to leave when he saw the sect master suddenly appear in front of him.

Jun Ling’s sudden appearance caught him off guard. No one had expected the sect master to appear in the middle of the night.

Chu Bai was instantly stunned. He had never thought that the sect master would actually come here. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

“Sect Master?” Chu Bai called out in shock.

“So, you’re the one behind everything. 1 was wondering why I couldn’t find the person in the sect.” Jun Ling really did not expect the person to be hidden among the rookies.

“I…” Chu Bai still wanted to quibble, but it was useless now. He did not expect to be caught red-handed.

“I’ve long sensed that something was wrong with you, including those who have just joined recently. However, the sect is currently in need of manpower, so 1 won’t make things difficult for you. Moreover, you didn’t take the initiative to attack, right?”

Jun Ling’s words made Chu Bai heave a sigh of relief.

Chu Bai did not expect the sect master to not be angry and be so reasonable. It seemed like the sect master was quite nice.

“I don’t want to hear or see this kind of thing again in the future. Moreover, you have to be careful. In the future, you have to pay attention to your surroundings. There are still a few days left until the rookie competition. I hope you can get first place.”

After Jun Ling finished speaking, she turned around and left. At this moment, the matter in the sect had come to an end. Chu Bai did not intend to continue doing this. He had already been warned by the sect master. If he continued to do this, it would be troublesome. If he did not even listen to the sect master’s words, then he could forget about living here.

Chu Bai finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the sect master leave. For a moment, he almost fell to the ground and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

After all, the pressure just now was too strong.

After Chu Bai got a grasp on things, he did not think too much about it. Since things had already turned out this way, it was useless to say so much. What was left was what he should do next.

“I’ll go back and rest first. I’ll think about it the next day.”

He rested for the night.

Chu Bai had just woken up when someone brought breakfast to the door.

“Senior Bai? You woke up early today. We specially prepared breakfast for you.”

Chu Bai looked down and realized that it was someone from the mission hall.

“Oh? You guys entered the sect earlier than me, so why are you suddenly calling me Senior?”

Chu Bai did not expect these people to change their minds so quickly. When he went to take on missions yesterday, each of them had a cold expression on their faces, but today, they were so enthusiastic.

“Senior Bai, what are you talking about? Do you have any missions to complete today? We can help you.”

They had already heard that four people had died last night, so they immediately came to curry favor with Chu Bai, afraid that they would be the next to die.

Moreover, they had already heard about the rumors in the sect.

Chu Bai was the culprit behind the recent series of events, and the sect master had even tacitly agreed to it. This was much more terrifying. If the sect master had tacitly agreed to this matter, did that not mean that Chu Bai was on the sect master’s side and had been secretly sent here to deal with the dirty matters within the sect?

When they thought of this situation, everyone immediately felt a lingering fear in their hearts. That was why they came to visit together.

Chu Bai did not expect these people to have such an idea. He could not react for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what they were thinking.

“I see. Since you’re so polite, Senior Wei, I’ll accept it respectfully.”

Chu Bai accepted the food they had given him. At the same time, he looked outside. There were many people at the door who were hesitating. They did not know if they should come or not. Everyone was very hesitant. After all, if these things happened again, it would not be easy for them to deal with it.

However, Chu Bai was already standing here. Whatever happened next would be left for later.

Very quickly, Chu Bai led a group of people to the mission hall. As soon as they arrived, the people here became much more enthusiastic. Moreover, the people at the counter nearby were even more polite. Not only to him, but to the others as well. Each and every one of them had lost their usual hostility.

“Senior Bai? If you want to take on any missions today, just tell us. We will help you with the process.”

The surrounding people immediately gathered around Chu Bai.

Chu Bai was not used to it, but he quickly got used to it and walked in front of everyone.

“Everyone, there’s no need to be like this. Since we’re all fellow disciples, there’s no need for us to be like this.”

Chu Bai quickly accepted some more missions.

This time, after accepting the missions, he left directly. He did not continue to entangle himself with these people. There was no point in continuing to do so. These people only knew how to suck up to him.

Chu Bai opened the missions and took a look. This was a mission personally issued by the sect master. It said that there was a cave in the back mountain. In the past, a powerful demon lived there, but it had been killed by the sect master. However, she seemed to feel that there was something wrong inside recently and needed someone to investigate.

After Chu Bai finished reading the mission, he immediately equipped himself and headed to the demon cave at the back of the mountain.

It was said that a powerful demon used to live here, but it was already dead, so this place became much more peaceful.

However, Chu Bai had just gotten close to this place when he realized that the weeds and surrounding trees had already withered.

This was different from the previous environment described in the mission.

It had clearly been stated that the demon had been killed, so such a situation should not be happening. Chu Bai did not expect the situation here to be so special.

Chu Bai swallowed his saliva and walked straight into the cave entrance..
