Chapter 168 - Two Are Born Rebellious

Chapter 168: Two Are Born Rebellious

The mountain gate of the Magnificent Flame Sect was mighty and magnificent. Every disciple guarding the gates was extremely proud because it was their responsibility to inform everyone first when they encountered any crisis.

The two disciples were meticulously attentive. They stood their straightest as if not even a storm could make them move one step.

Suddenly, a streak of golden light shot over from the horizon. The two disciples were shocked at the sight of this. They immediately left their posts to ring the alarm and notify the sect about the imminent enemy attack.

But before they could even run two steps, the ground started quaking. The rock steps split apart as if they could not bear this force.

“We are finally here! Who would have thought that the mountain gate of the Magnificent Flame Sect would not change much? It is still so dilapidated.”

The two disciples, who had not yet responded, wanted to scold the speaker of these words as soon as they heard this. But when they saw the creatures in front of them, their faces paled and their eyes bulged in shock.

Nine ginormous golden, dragon-shaped monsters were climbing the steps, shaking their humongous wings. Their pairs of golden eyes were radiating a fierce glare.

The two disciples had never seen such humongous monsters.

Just a snort from these monsters set off a gust of wind that made the two disciples lose their footing.

One of the monsters opened its jaws, revealing its sharp and gleaming teeth as it let out a breath.

“Haha, look, these two actually wet their pants. This is really interesting.” The blonde religious brother broke into laughter

The old man next to him bowed. “My Lord, these disciples have never seen such mighty dragons in their lives. It’s normal for them to be terrified.”

“Of course! These golden dragons have noble blood flowing in them, but they are pulling the carriage,” the religious brother said with a laugh, his eyes flickering with disdain.

The next moment, the old man stepped out and started speaking, his hoarse voice turning into a shockwave that spread through the sect, “My Lord, the religious brother has arrived, is the Magnificent Flame Sect going to treat its guests like this?”

“The religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect has graced us with his presence, please forgive us for our lacking welcome.”

Several figures immediately rushed over from the sect, their voices arriving before them.

A streak of red light cut through the sky before a figure appeared. Huo Rong was one of the top elders of the sect. The others didn’t want to come out. Only he came to meet the Saint Convent Sect religious brother. The elders following him were ordinary elders; they were there to show that they regarded the religious brother with importance.

“Elder Huo Rong, long time no see,” the religious brother greeted with a smile. Then he patted the head of the giant golden dragons before these giant dragons spread their wings and started flying toward the distance. His pat could be considered a signal for them to be free.

“Please.” Elder Huo Rong’s cultivation was much higher than the religious brother, but the status of the other party was noble. In the Saint Convent Sect, he was just like a noble. So, now that he had come to the Magnificent Flame Sect, it was natural for an elder like him to receive the religious brother.

Just when he was about to walk back toward the sect, his eyes fell on the destroyed steps. He shook his head slightly; an inexplicable helplessness rose in his heart.

If the Magnificent Flame Sect was stronger than the Saint Convent Sect, who would be so arrogant toward us?

The two disciples who were guarding the gate were extremely ashamed and left in a dingy manner. They felt that they had lost the face of the sect, which made them sad and angry.

Many disciples soon gathered around, staring at the blond man, discussing with each other.

“That’s the religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect. I saw him a year ago, he sure is cool and majestic.”

“Yeah, the Saint Convent Sect is the best sect in the world. Their disciples sure are extraordinary. I feel that he is even stronger than Senior Brother Jun.”

“Did you see those nine huge monsters? I heard that each of them is in Earth Star Border Stage Eight. They might be extremely powerful for us, but to the Saint Convent Sect, they are just good for pulling carriages.”

“A great sect is a great sect. Their prestige is simply extraordinary. The war between the Sunshine Sect and us stopped suddenly because of the intervention of the Saint Convent Sect.”

“Who did you hear that from?”

“I heard inner senior brothers speaking. It seems that the Sunshine Sect infringed on the interests of the Saint Convent Sect.”

“Unbelievable, just a single command from a great sect can actually influence the war between two sects! When will our Magnificent Flame Sect reach this level?”

“You should build the roads of your Magnificent Flame Sect. It’s far too lacking compared to our Saint Convent Sect. Ours are inlaid with gold and jade, it’s really beautiful.” The religious brother kept shaking his head all the way whenever he saw anything. He was as if he had come to a remote country. He was filled with disdain.

Huo Rong kept a smile on his face, without uttering a single rebuke. He would be the one to receive the disciples of a major sect whenever they came. It was not his first rodeo. He had heard this every time. If he let Tian Xu welcome them, perhaps the religious brother would already be lying dead.

—

Inner sect:

“Sister, the religious brother is here.” Liu Yue was very excited, and she didn’t know what to do. She then held her sister’s hand with a look of eagerness. “Sister, when you leave the Magnificent Flame Sect, can you take me with you too?”

Liu Ruochen looked at her younger sister, at a loss over what to do. Then she nodded her head in agreement. “Mhmm.”

After getting her sister’s affirmation, Liu Yue was in the clouds. Then she seemed to have thought of something. “Sister, before we leave, I want to take revenge on that guy. He might be dead, but that Qin Shan is still here, isn’t he!?”

Liu Ruochen didn’t say a single word. She just wanted to leave the Magnificent Flame Sect and go to the Saint Convent Sect. That’s where I belong. I’m only delaying myself at the Magnificent Flame Sect.

“Okay, tidy yourself up. Let’s go and meet the religious brother.”

The three peak leaders of Heaven’s Retribution Peak, the Skies of Zong Peak, and Great Emperor Peak didn’t come. When their peaks were smashed by Elder Tian Xu last time, the Patriarch intervened and helped them repair their peaks, and they never left their peaks afterward.

It was a shameful matter for them. They had lost face in front of many disciples. And also, Elder Tian Xu was like a mountain for them.

His strength was unfathomable. Even if they became Heaven Star Border Realm experts, they would still not be Elder Tian Xu’s opponent.

Even when the religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect was here, they didn’t want to come out because they had already met the religious brother once. He was proud of being the religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect and didn’t take them seriously.

Sometimes even they felt that the sect showing no resistance before a powerful sect was a sign of weakness.

They had even heard that this religious brother wasn’t even the strongest religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect. There were many stronger than him.

They could not imagine this.

How magnificent is their sect if they have so many strong disciples?

Time passed by, bit by bit.

The religious brother was sitting on the high podium of the main hall, his eyes flickering with boredom.

“Elder Huo Rong, the cultivation of these disciples is really terrible. It’s really boring to watch them fight. As for the winner, the Cosmic Palm used by him is far worse, and yet they are treating it as their ace in their sleeves. This skillset is not even worthy for the outer disciples of our Saint Convent Sect,” the religious brother directly pointed this out without giving much face. His voice was loud, as if he wasn’t afraid of anyone hearing.

The disciple who had just won turned pale. He was very unwilling, but he was helpless; he could only leave with his fists hung.

Just as the religious brother finished speaking, two beautiful figures slowly walked out of the crowd. Everyone’s gaze focused on these two figures.

“Senior Sister Liu.”

The disciples in the audience knew that the purpose of the religious brother was to take Senior Sister Liu to the Saint Convent Sect.

The religious brother smiled immediately after seeing Liu Ruochen. “Ruochen, you are finally here.”

Liu Ruochen made her way to the religious brother with a graceful gait and bowed slightly. “Ruochen greets Lord Religious Brother.”

“Ruochen, you don’t need to be polite. Come and sit here. This time, I came here specifically to take you to the Saint Convent Sect.” The religious brother laughed and then looked at the girl next to Liu Ruochen. “Who’s this?”

“She is my younger sister.” Liu Ruochen looked at Liu Yue.

Liu Yue couldn’t contain herself. She immediately came to the religious brother and said in a cutesy voice, “Liu Yue greets Lord Religious Brother. I often heard my sister talk about Lord Religious Brother. I’m really happy to meet Lord Religious Brother. I feel that Lord Religious Brother is the sun and moon in the sky, with a brilliance that no one can compare to.”

“Hahaha!” The religious brother broke into laughter when he heard this as if he had never heard anyone speak like this. He was in an extremely good mood. “Well, since you are Ruochen’s younger sister, you can also come with us to the Saint Convent Sect. After going there, I’m afraid you will never think of returning to the Magnificent Flame Sect.”

Liu Yue was ecstatic. “Thank you, Lord Religious Brother.”

Huo Rong gripped the armrest of his chair, his heart burning with flames of fury. However, he knew that he had to hold back and not lose face.

It was just that he hadn’t expected that there would be a disciple in the sect who wanted to leave the sect completely behind.

Just as the religious brother was speaking, the disciple who had won the match was preparing to leave the ring. In his heart, he knew that the religious brother had come to the Magnificent Flame Sect to show off, but he was unwilling.

But right then, the religious brother said to him, “Wait a minute.”

“What can I do for the religious brother?” Although his cultivation was low, he would not lose the prestige of the sect, so he spoke without any humility.

“It seems you have only the first six levels of the Nine-Level Skywind Blade Skill you just performed. Let me give you the complete set as a reward.” A secret book flew into the air, but the disciple didn’t seem to have any intention of taking it, so it fell on the ground.

“What’s wrong? You think it’s too expensive!? It’s not, this skillset is just a blade skillset practiced by the outer disciples of the Saint Convent Sect. You don’t need to be burdened by this,” said the religious brother. In his opinion, the disciple in simple clothes felt that this blade skillset was too expensive.

But he couldn’t be any farther from the truth.

“Thank you for your kindness, Religious Brother, but I don’t need this. My Magnificent Flame Sect isn’t lacking in skillsets,” that disciple said, cupped his fists, and then directly turned around and jumped down the ring.

The religious brother’s face turned a little ugly. He hadn’t expected this ant-like disciple to reject his kindness.

The nearby Liu Yue immediately said, “Lord Religious Brother, he just doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

It’s doesn’t hurt to stand on the Saint Convent Sect’s side since I’m leaving the sect.

Huo Rong remembered what Tian Xu had once said; Liu Ruochen and Liu Yue were naturally born rebellious. It seems that’s really the truth.
