Chapter 231 -231

Chapter 231: Chapter231 It has been four years since Long Xiaotian became the sect master of the Qianji Sect. This is the first time he has come in person to the top - 100 disciples ranking competition. In the past, Elder Han would come on his behalf. His presence in person made many people in their hearts startle, especially Shen Yan. When Long Xiaotian's eyes fell on Zhou Peng, her heart trembled violently, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she began to worry secretly. When she saw the fanatical look in Zhou Peng's eyes, she became even more worried. It was as if she were worried that her precious possession would be snatched away by others. Watching Long Xiaotian approaching step by step, Shen Yan's heart sank, and she secretly made up her mind. "Are you Zhou Peng?" Long Xiaotian asked knowingly. His face showed neither surprise nor joy, and his tone was full of the dignity that a sect master should have. His voice was not loud, but it had a thrilling feeling. Zhou Peng didn't dare to think too much. He suppressed the wild joy in his heart. Although he wanted to immediately defeat Long Xiaotian, with his current cultivation level, not to mention killing Long Xiaotian, he was afraid that he would be blasted into pieces before he could even get close. Long Xiaotian had reached the Qiankun realm several years ago. Since becoming the sect master, he could use all the resources of the Qianji Sect. Moreover, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds during his training in Tianwaitian. He was probably already at the peak of the Qiankun realm or even the Great Perfection realm. Killing Zhou Peng would be easier than crushing an ant. Since Long Xiaotian appeared in the square, Zhou Peng had felt a powerful deterrent force in his heart. Long Xiaotian's eyes seemed to be able to see through his soul. Suddenly, Zhou Peng immediately cleared his mind of all thoughts and even restrained his own aura. He saluted respectfully and said, "This disciple is indeed Zhou Peng." Long Xiaotian smiled faintly, "Good, good..." After looking at Zhou Peng carefully for a few times, he then looked at Shen Yan and said, "Junior Sister Shen, how have you been lately?" "Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. Everything is fine." Shen Yan also saluted slightly. After that, Long Xiaotian greeted everyone one by one and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then he walked to Zhou Peng, took Zhou Peng's hand, and said, "Come with me to the Qianji Sect." Zhou Peng first glanced at Shen Yan's expression, and then said, "This disciple obeys." Long Xiaotian didn't stay long. His body slowly rose, as if being lifted by a powerful force beneath his feet, which was quite astonishing. Zhou Peng was the same. Without using any qigong, his body was as light as a feather. In a few breaths, the two of them turned into a black dot and disappeared above the square. "Senior Sister Shen is so enviable. The sect master actually came to welcome Zhou Peng to Tianwaitian in person." Wu Yue said with a smile, and his words were full of envy. However, this envy was not because of Long Xiaotian's presence but because of Zhou Peng. The others all understood the meaning of his words. Shen Yan smiled faintly. With Zhou Peng leaving for Tianwaitian and disappearing from her side, her heart suddenly became worried, worried that Zhou Peng would never return. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on her palms, and her fists clenched a little more tightly under her sleeves. She slightly raised her head and looked sideways at Tianwaitian in the mid - air, lost in a thousand thoughts. Besides the rewards, the top ten disciples in the top - 100 disciples ranking competition could also enter Tianwaitian to cultivate for ten days. Cultivating for ten days was extremely important. Some people could break through bottlenecks and ascend to stronger realms within these ten days. It was very helpful for cultivation, physical strength, and even the cultivation of martial arts. In the Qianji Sect, Tianwaitian was the coveted cultivation holy land in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of disciples. All the disciples who were specially permitted to enter Tianwaitian were extremely talented prodigies with the strength to strive for the Great Perfection realm. However, in a year, apart from the top ten disciples, very few could enter Tianwaitian. Zhou Peng was welcomed into Tianwaitian by Long Xiaotian in person. This honor made everyone envious and jealous. It was even more precious than being the first in the top - 100. Even the sect master came in person for him. It could be seen how much Long Xiaotian valued him. In their hearts, Zhou Peng would soar to great heights from now on. Because he was welcomed by Long Xiaotian in person, Zhou Peng, as one of the top - ten disciples, was the first to enter Tianwaitian. As soon as he got close, his mind sensed a powerful aura coming towards him. This aura contained a profound power, and this power was very familiar to Zhou Peng - 'Gengjin Qi' (Metal - Phase Qi). If it weren't for Long Xiaotian's presence, he was afraid that he could not resist this aura and might even be crushed to death by this powerful aura. His heart faintly stirred, and he became very interested in this 'Gengjin Qi'. The closer he got, the thicker the powerful aura became, and the greater the pressure his body felt, just like constantly diving into the deep - sea area, where the pressure became greater and greater. Zhou Peng's abdomen caved in, and his face showed a pained expression. Long Xiaotian smiled faintly, and then a vast stream of warm energy from his hand entered Zhou Peng's body. In an instant, Zhou Peng's body was full of vitality and immediately returned to normal. At the same time, Zhou Peng was secretly happy, but didn't show it on his face. It could be seen that Long Xiaotian valued him particularly. The plan to get close to Long Xiaotian was perfectly completed. Not only did he get close, but he was also highly valued by Long Xiaotian. This was something Zhou Peng hadn't expected. Along the way, Long Xiaotian didn't say another word. He was very interested in Zhou Peng. Especially after watching the last match and analyzing all of Zhou Peng's matches from the beginning, he had an even higher opinion of Zhou Peng. Putting aside his identity as the sect master, Long Xiaotian felt a trace of admiration for Zhou Peng from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Peng made every move carefully and every step was full of murderous intent. Almost everything was within his plan. Such a person was extremely terrifying. However, for Long Xiaotian, if Zhou Peng could be used by him, perhaps it wouldn't be long before there were no more separatist forces in the Qianji Sect. Besides, the secrets on Zhou Peng made him puzzled. Breaking through by killing, berserk supernatural powers, etc., all made Long Xiaotian extremely interested. While observing Zhou Peng's matches, he kept analyzing and asking himself, but got no clue at all. Now that Zhou Peng was by his side, he couldn't wait to ask for the truth. But he still held back. Because Long Xiaotian would occasionally input powerful energy into Zhou Peng's body, Zhou Peng no longer felt a strong sense of oppression along the way. Before long, the two entered Tianwaitian. The moment Zhou Peng landed, he looked back and was shocked. It was so spectacular. Tianwaitian stood proudly above the sea of clouds, like a floating fairy islet, ethereal and illusory, making people can't help but sigh, as if they were in a heavenly fairy palace. Tianwaitian had a large area, with green mountains winding around and lush trees. To Zhou Peng, it was like an island, except that this island floated in the sky. Everything around was similar to ordinary mountains and forests, but every tree, flower, and grass was faintly entwined with visible spiritual energy. Zhou Peng felt everything around him and took a gentle breath. A fresh fragrance entered his body, and his heart suddenly trembled. He thought to himself, "The same aura as Long Xiaotian?" "Haha..." Seeing Zhou Peng's eyebrows slightly frowning, Long Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Everything in Tianwaitian contains powerful energy, including the air." "No wonder one can make rapid progress in cultivation in Tianwaitian. Even the air contains powerful energy. How could it not be fast?" Zhou Peng was startled in his heart. "Zhou Peng, follow me into the Tianwai Divine Palace." Long Xiaotian said, and then walked on the white marble steps. The steps extended all the way to the mountainside. Zhou Peng looked up, and his body trembled slightly. He saw a mountain peak that soared into the sky. The mountain peak stood like a sheer cliff, and on its side were written three large characters, 'Tian Shen Feng' (Divine Sky Peak). The characters were written in a wild cursive style like a dragon swimming, vigorous and forceful, exuding boundless domineering. Just by looking at the three characters 'Tian Shen Feng', Zhou Peng suddenly felt that domineering aura in his heart, arrogant and having a sense of looking down on all living beings. A divine palace was located on the top of Tian Shen Feng. The divine palace was an ancient bronze color. When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on it, it reflected ten thousand feet of green light, which was extremely spectacular. Just the momentum of Tianwaitian made Zhou Peng sigh with admiration. Although he hadn't seen many famous historical and scenic spots, he had watched a lot of movies. Those earthly paradises and celestial palaces made by computer special effects were simply dwarfed in comparison with Tianwaitian. This was simply the place where immortals lived. Seeing Long Xiaotian walking away, Zhou Peng quickly followed. He was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything novel. At the same time, the little demons, Mao Mao, and Yao Kong in his body were all absorbing crazily... "Elder Han, why did the master come to welcome Zhou Peng in person? Doesn't he know that Zhou Peng killed Second Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, and Eighth Junior Brother?" "Exactly. Zhou Peng killed three of our fellow disciples. I can't swallow this anger no matter what." "Elder Han, Second Senior Brother was your favorite disciple. Aren't you heartbroken?" Only five of the ten Tianwaitian disciples were left. It was really a sorry sight. Their originally extremely arrogant and proud flames had been completely extinguished. Although they showed strong cultivation levels, in the face of Zhou Peng and Liu Shuanghan, they had been defeated repeatedly, and their faces were swollen from being slapped. Now, seeing that the sect master came to welcome Zhou Peng to Tianwaitian in person, the anger in their hearts became even stronger. Zhou Peng had killed three of their fellow disciples but received such great honor. How could they not be furious? Han Kong sighed. Zhao Chang'an's death indeed made him unhappy, and he also hated Zhou Peng to the extreme. However, since Long Xiaotian had taken a fancy to Zhou Peng, no matter how much pain he had, he had to endure it. Hearing Han Kong sigh, Zhao Kunlun's eyes were startled, and he immediately said, "Elder Han, does the master value Zhou Peng very much?" Han Kong nodded slightly and said, "Your performance has disappointed the sect master too much. How many of the goals of your participation in this competition have you achieved?" "You've completely disgraced Tianwaitian." Han Kong's tone became heavier, and he gave a cold shout. The disciples behind him lowered their heads and said nothing. Indeed, they knew clearly in their hearts how many tasks the sect master had assigned to them that they had completed. Ten people went out, and five came back, becoming the laughingstock of the eight palaces. "I know we've disappointed the master, but if it weren't for Zhou Peng, we wouldn't be like this. If it weren't for him, Second Senior Brother wouldn't have died. If Second Senior Brother hadn't died, he could definitely have worn down Liu Shuanghan, and First Senior Brother would have been sure to win. It's all Zhou Peng's fault." "Yes, it's all Zhou Peng." "I won't let him off." Han Kong sneered and said, "Not let him off? Are you his opponents? What's the use of your strong cultivation? What's the use of having powerful Gengjin Qi? In the end, you still died under his fists. And now you're still talking big here without feeling ashamed." Everyone was silent again. Their faces were burning, as if they had been slapped hard several times. They felt extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time, their hatred for Zhou Peng became even stronger. If it was a comparison of cultivation strength, any one of them was a hundred times stronger than Zhou Peng. But one by one, they died at Zhou Peng's hands. And they still didn't understand how they died until now. After walking for a while, Han Kong stopped for half a second and said slightly, "Tomorrow is the time for the top - ten disciples to enter the Chilian Cave to cultivate. Many disciples will die because they can't bear the Gengjin Qi and their bodies explode. You know what to do, right?" His words were understated, without any momentum. But a glint of extremely cold and sinister light flashed in the corner of his eyes. The killing intent was fully exposed!
