Chapter 473: Baffling

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When they rushed to the palace main hall, there were a group of common people path disciples who were looking on from afar.

Chuxue hesitated. In the end, she was pushed by Zhao Yanran. Only then did she muster up some courage to walk towards the gates of the hall.

Then, thousands of disciples around were in an uproar.

“Who is she? How does a grade 6 like her dare enter the main hall for the meeting?”

“She does look pretty, much more innocent than those junior sisters and senior sisters of Seven Spirit Sect. Also better than Qingyin school. She is really cute with big breasts! Junior sister why are you pinching me?”

“Speaking of which, I have seen this girl during lessons, only 1-2 times. Her comprehension is really bad and she didn’t complete a single test from the teacher. Just a dumb brat…”

“Is this girl that Xuechu?”

Discussion voices spread from all directions, dyeing her face red. She suppressed the nervousness in her heart as she stepped into the hall.

Only to see that there was a person within who was sitting high up in the hall. It was the current palace head Fangwen. Beside him also sat a few who should be elder level people of the common people path. Their aura was calm and innate, such that one couldn’t see through them. They seem to be much stronger than that Fangwen. One of them was Hanfang whose seat was only beneath that of Fangwen.

Below stood 6 people, their expressions were respectful. Xie An and Xuanye were the only ones she was familiar with. Seeing her walk in they nodded their heads and smiled in a friendly manner as sort of a greeting.

The other people along with the few elders all frowned. A teen beside Xie An even chided.

“The palace main hall is having a meeting! Who let you, a grade 6, come in?”

Chuxue stopped breathing. She was furious. The nervousness from before had disappeared. Young master often said that she was like a little cat. The tiger cat race shouldn’t be afraid of the heavens or the earth.

She furiously stared back at that teen before she bowed towards the ascended area, “Disciple Chuxue greets the elders and palace head!”

Apart from Fangwen and Hanfang, the unhappiness in the remaining people in the hall instantly became thicker. Why didn’t this female disciple know about respect?

Seeing the situation Fangwen coughed, “You are a 3rd generation inner sect disciple, you don’t have to bow to me and can sit to aside to listen. Yuanfei aren’t you going to apologize? How can you be so rude to a great senior master?”

Chuxue didn’t show any courtesy and directly sat down not far away from the few elders. Then, she turned her head and made a face to the ashen white teen, staring right at him.

Yuanfei was helpless and could only yield, “Disciple is at fault, great senior master please forgive me.”

Xuanye and Xie An exchanged glances with one another and sighed at the same time. As they say, with such a master there would be such a subject. Zong Shou loved to use his status to suppress people, who knew that his maidservant had learned from him. They felt a little surprised, Chuxue didn’t have anything special about her so why was she chosen?

The few elders also had curiosity and doubt in their eyes. First was because of her status and their hearts sank.

“Palace head, why did we choose this girl? No matter how high her seniority is, she is only grade 6. The battle today although it won’t harm to roots of our common people path, we can’t underestimate it. To fight a grade 8 as a grade 6, that’s a joke!”

Fangwen’s face was extremely ugly, “She was recommended by senior and Fangwen had agreed in advance, so we can’t change it!”

After saying, he pointed upwards and said “16”. Then, the expression of the few elders looked extremely weird.

“What nonsense! Her foundations are decent, but be it true qi or spiritual cultivation, they are average, nothing special about it. What rights does she have to join in this battle?”

“That’s right! Aren’t we going to let the many sects of the cloud world laugh at our common people’s path for having no one?”

“That’s just a dumb order, how could you agree to it?”

All of a sudden, they all blamed Fangwen. Chuxue’s face instantly swelled up, like that of a bun. She knew that this would happen, but she was also surprised. Who would recommend her? Was it young master? Thinking about it, that was the only possibility.

She looked at Hanfang who was looking over with a weird expression on his face. Chuxue scoffed and looked away, not even looking at this old man.

She wished that she could have an improvement in her cultivation to have skills like her young master to fight 300 rounds with that sword prince Yuyu. To let the eyeballs of all these people fall out.

However, thinking about it, she sighed to herself and knew that it was impossible. How could she have such an ability? What was her young master thinking?

Those elders seem to know that no matter how they scolded it wouldn’t make a difference, and they stopped dwelling on it. After saying a few words, one of them changed the topic, “Before Jueyu came to our common people path, he sent a challenge to say that he wanted to challenge Tanqiu. Not letting him fight, is it appropriate?”

“We have no choice! The gap between grade 6 and grade 8 is simply too huge. Due to some reasons, Tanqiu’s soul can’t break through to the 7th grade. It isn’t appropriate if we let him suffer another setback.”

“That is true! If his heart is affected by this battle and is flawed, then it would not be worth it.”

“This kid is the future of our sect, and we can’t let him be destroyed like that!”

Beneath the stairs, an unhappy cold scoff spread out.

“Unable to breakthrough grade 7 in 1.5 years, what kind of sect pillar is he? One swordsman if he loses on the battlefield and is destroyed, how can he be considered talented? After the battle today, I, Yuanfei want to try how strong this 3rd generation great senior master is such that the sect has so high hopes for him? He only won Ji Lingzi…”

Flames of rage appeared in Chuxue’s eyes as he stared right at that Yuanfei. She thought that after this, she had to tell sister Ruoshui and Yanran to let this fellow suffer.

What an annoying person to dare to speak about young master like that.

“Disrespectful!”

Fangwen frowned as he scolded with deep meaning. However, as he was worried about the master of that person being at the side. Looking at his calm expression, not making a stand like he allowed him to do so, he could only say, “My junior brother is your sect senior, how dare the likes of you comment about him? After this battle head to the punishment, hall to receive your disciplinary action.”

Then, he shook his head, “The talk here can be ended! The choices have been set. Yuanfei, Han Jian, Xie An, although your combat strengths aren’t the highest, your explosiveness at the start is great. In this battle, go all out. Don’t insult the name of the common people’s path! Xuanye, Zhuling both of you are good at dragging out battles. If he still doesn’t retreat then you all can try to drag to probe, to understand the mysteries of his sword technique. Guoyu out of all you are the calmest and have the strongest comprehension. You can watch from the side, and the last battle would be yours!”

The 6 of them were solemn as they received the order.

Fangwen’s gaze swept towards Chuxue. His eyes flashed a little bit, but in the end, he sighed and neglected her.

Chuxue clenched her small fist, in her heart she was unwilling but also helpless. What was her young master thinking?

※※※※

Fangwen led the group of them to step out of the vast habitat and to that wide void fissure.

The clamoring and noise her instantly went silent.

That Jueyu also opened his eyes. He looked upwards, cupping his fists and then bowing.

“Jueyu greets common people palace head! This time Jueyu came to train in the sword and doesn’t have intentions of being enemies with the common people path. Palace head please forgive me!”

Fangwen’s eyes were dark as he sized up this Jueyu. His brows furrowed and then he smiled slightly, “I am a cultivator and knows how hard it is to train the sword. Why would I blame you?”

Waving his sleeves slightly, Yuanfei heeded. He jumped up in the air and landed in front of Jueyu.

Not bowing, directly pointed with the spear, “I am Yuanfei, the 5th generation core disciple. Young master Jue, please proceed!”

Jueyu’s brows furrowed slightly and he didn’t attack. A doubtful gaze appeared as he looked at Fangwen, “I remembered that I had sent a challenge. This time I only came here for that Tanqiu! Does your common people path look down on me?”

Fangwen was startled. Hearing his tone, he seemed to be filled with unhappiness. Did this fellow come just because of Zong Shou?”

Before he was able to open his mouth, that Yuanfei impatiently laughed, “Although he is the 3rd generation of our sect he entered the sect late. A normal disciple unable to breakthrough to grade 7 in 1.5 years, what ability does he have to represent common people path? Who knows how many people in the palace are stronger than him!”

The moment he said that everyone including the elders all frowned. Rage rising in the eyes of Xuanye and Xie An.

Fangwen felt a headache, thinking that why was this fellow so special? They were going to be a laughing stock this time. If he knew this would happen, no matter how they didn’t have anyone to send they wouldn’t have sent him out.

Looking around, only to see the other people filled with mocking intent.

Chuxue was feeling more and more annoyed, wishing that this person take a huge loss.

Yuanfei didn’t feel anything, saying coldly, “Anyways I am here. If you want to fight, then fight. If not, scram!”

Jueyu was slightly startled, nodding his head,” Understood! You are annoying! However, it is no matter. Since your common people path is unwilling to let him come out, then I will make you all willing to send him out by yourselves to fight with me! Pay attention!”

A black colored sword came out of its sheath. It flew 30 feet up and just as Yuanfei’s eyes lit up, the spear in his hand blossomed a spear flower. That black sword image had already risen up into the air. At the start, it wasn’t apparent but when Yuanfei flew upwards, he saw that the entire space was covered in darkness.

Unlimited destruction aura charged towards him, making him terrified. In front of his eyes was only a black sword shadow which locked onto him, making him feel that this part of the world was about to be destroyed. He couldn’t stab out with the spear and didn’t know which direction he should stab it out at.

He hollered out maniacally, finally struggling out of the sword intent. Then, numerous spear images shot out from the spear.

However, they were disappearing and getting destroyed at an even faster speed…
