The cultivation of the Primordial Embryo Realm, that aura completely transcending the Outer Sect Disciples, all hinted at the identity of the beautiful woman before them.
"Could she be the one that Lian Yiyue mentioned, who has now become an Inner Sect Disciple from the Charming Immortal Sect?" After a brief moment of astonishment, Fang Chen quickly realized this as he looked at Lian Yiyue beside her.
"Sister Qinglian." At that moment, voices filled with reverence suddenly arose from the Outer Sect Disciples within Xuantian Hall. Even Song Nanfeng and others bowed respectfully to the woman known as Qinglian.
With a calm glance around, the woman in white nodded gently, her phoenix eyes carrying an air of authority. Then, she gracefully moved towards Elder Yun, who was nearby and appeared to be asleep.
"Qinglian pays her respects to Elder Yun." She slightly bowed.
"It is little Qinglian who has come," Elder Yun opened his eyes, a smile evident in his murky gaze. "Little Qinglian hasn't visited me in a long time."
As he spoke, he shook his head and softly murmured, "I am getting old..." With those words, Elder Yun slowly closed his eyes again. Before long, even breathing could be heard coming from his nose, as if he had fallen asleep once more.
Watching this scene, Qinglian was not surprised. After bowing once more to Elder Yun, she slowly stepped back. However, her phoenix eyes swept around before landing on Fang Chen.
"You must be Fang Chen," the woman in palace attire said as she scrutinized him with interest.
"Fang Chen, this is Sister Qinglian," Lian Yiyue's voice reached Fang Chen's ears, and he saw Lian Yiyue wink at him.
Casting a light glance at Lian Yiyue, Qinglian chuckled softly and shook her head. Then her expression turned serious as she addressed Fang Chen: "Lunar has mentioned you; you are quite impressive. Moreover, Lunar's successful arrival at Ziyang Sect can also be credited to your efforts."
After a pause, a hint of surprise crossed Sister Qinglian's serene and elegant face as she looked at Fang Chen with appreciation: "Especially for being able to push back against those fellows from Crimson Bright Sect in the end; that was truly a remarkable feat. Given time, there will surely be a place for you among the Inner Sect Disciples."
Qinglian held Fang Chen in high regard. Noticing that Fang Chen still wore a calm expression, she felt even more optimistic about this newcomer to the Sect.
"Fang Chen pays his respects to Sister Qinglian."
Faced with such praise from an Inner Sect Disciple, Fang Chen remained remarkably composed. He bowed and replied: "Lunar and I had an agreement; bringing her to Ziyang Sect was my responsibility. As for those fellows from Crimson Bright Sect, since the Sect offered such generous rewards, it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity."
After a moment's pause, a glint of cold light flashed in Fang Chen's eyes as he calmly stated: "I did not do it before; I certainly will not let it happen again."
Sister Qinglian did not speak, only offering a slight smile. Fang Chen could sense that this Inner Sect Disciple seemed to have a strong interest in him, which appeared to go beyond just his performance on the last stretch of the mountain road.
"Sister Qinglian, please help Fang Chen with these guys," Lian Yiyue said softly, her gaze sweeping around the room and taking in the expressions of everyone in Xuantian Hall. A hint of worry flashed across her delicate face as she spoke to Sister Qinglian beside her.
Although her voice was quiet, there was no simple character in Xuantian Hall, and her words were still clearly heard by everyone. As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in Xuantian Hall changed once more. Not only Wang Lin and Song Nanfeng but even the other Outer Sect Disciples had their eyes flickering with cold light as they stared at Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue.
From Sister Qinglian's appearance to the subsequent conversation with Fang Chen, a sense of unease had already arisen among the crowd. Now, with Lian Yiyue's words, that unease erupted fully.
Help Fang Chen?
Wasn't that blocking their path to wealth?
The path of martial arts was fraught with danger; resources were akin to a rebirth for warriors. Blocking their path to wealth was no different from avenging a father’s death!
"This person is incredibly arrogant and speaks disrespectfully, insulting us with his words. I ask Sister Qinglian not to trust him easily," Song Nanfeng said, frowning as he stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Sister Qinglian.
"Brother Song is right; this brat is excessively arrogant. If we don't teach him a lesson now, how will it be in the future?"
"Sister Qinglian, don't trust him."
"…"
Wang Lin and the others echoed Song Nanfeng's words repeatedly. Their remarks painted Fang Chen as someone who looked down on everyone and was exceedingly arrogant. Not only Wang Lin and his group but even many other Outer Sect Disciples who had initially been watching joined in, doing their utmost to belittle Fang Chen. Clearly, Fang Chen's enviable points had completely shifted their stance.
"You are talking nonsense! You all…" Seeing this scene, Lian Yiyue became anxious. Just one person could hardly compete against so many voices. She looked at Sister Qinglian beside her, whose expression remained unchanged and showed no signs of thought. Then she tugged at Fang Chen's sleeve and hurriedly whispered, "I know you aren't like this. They are saying these things about you; you should quickly explain yourself to Sister Qinglian."
Fang Chen smiled and shook his head without saying a word.
"You!" Seeing Fang Chen's demeanor, Lian Yiyue grew even more anxious, her big eyes slightly reddening.
Although both of them came from the Charming Immortal Sect and had some relationship in the past, their connection was not particularly close, and they hadn't seen each other for several years. The other party was now an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ziyang Sect, which created a significant disparity in status. In this situation, even Lian Yiyue lacked confidence that the other person would fully stand by their side.
"You seem to have forgotten that newcomers are not allowed to be disturbed in any form during the two-day period before their Entry Assessment. No one is permitted to take action against them; violators will be dealt with according to sect rules." Sister Qinglian suddenly spoke in a calm tone, her gaze deep and devoid of any visible emotion.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in Xuantian Hall, including Song Nanfeng and Wang Lin, was taken aback. Then, as if they realized something, their expressions turned extremely grim.
"The absolute protection period of two days." Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Fang Chen's face.
He had not heard of this before, but seeing the grim faces of those present made it clear to him that this rule indeed existed.
"With this buffer time, it's enough!" A gleam of brilliance shone in Fang Chen's eyes. He gazed deeply at everyone in Xuantian Hall, and for a moment, a chilling light flickered in his dark eyes.
Currently, he lacked nothing in terms of foundation, comprehension, or accumulation; all he needed was time! The two-day absolute protection period undoubtedly provided Fang Chen with an excellent buffer. Faced with the current situation, he had already decided to break through the Qi Boundary during the Entry Examination. After all, due to the enormous points he possessed, there were far too many people who were envious of him. Moreover, this news would inevitably spread soon, and at that time, countless people would want to take action against him both openly and secretly. Furthermore, he had already offended Song Nanfeng and Wang Lin; they would certainly not let such a good opportunity slip by.
He could no longer afford to wait until after the Entry Examination to break through. Additionally, Fang Chen had learned that during the assessment, there would be no restrictions on breakthroughs in cultivation level; many people would secretly break through and suddenly unleash their power! Fang Chen needed to seize this precious time to turn the situation around!
Surrounded by enemies on all sides!
This was the predicament Fang Chen was subtly facing now. To break through this situation, he could only rely on absolute strength!
Fang Chen was not someone who liked to place hope in others because he did not feel secure doing so. Although the other party was an acquaintance of Lian Yiyue and seemed to harbor some goodwill towards him now, some debts must eventually be repaid.
"Entry Examination." A flicker of emotion crossed Song Nanfeng's scarred face as a glimmer suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"I hope you can survive the Entry Examination," Fang Chen heard Song Nanfeng's Divine Consciousness voice transmission whispering in his ear.
A quick glance revealed that Song Nanfeng was grinning menacingly at him.
"Why are you such an annoying person?" Fang Chen did not respond directly but Lian Yiyue beside him had already placed her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Song Nanfeng.
The grin on his face suddenly stiffened. Song Nanfeng's gaze shifted, darkening as he cast a cold, dangerous look at Lian Yiyue. However, when his eyes met Sister Qinglian, the dangerous chill in his gaze immediately retracted.
Although there were Inner Sect Disciples backing him up, and not just one, he was well aware that Sister Qinglian was no ordinary Inner Sect Disciple. Even among the many Inner Sect Disciples, she was a figure of great renown, and even those behind him held her in high regard; she was not someone he could afford to offend at this moment. Otherwise, given his temperament, he wouldn't have initially lowered himself so much.
The two-day absolute protection period caught many by surprise, leaving those in Xuantian Hall who had planned to act against Fang Chen as soon as he stepped out looking rather grim. Many cast dark glances at Fang Chen, clearly feeling somewhat unwilling.
Now that Fang Chen was right before them and only a few knew about it, they held an absolute advantage. However, after two days, they would have to wait until the Entry Assessment concluded. By then, who knows how many would be aware of Fang Chen's substantial points? At that time, Fang Chen would have already slipped out of their sight.
More importantly, by then, Fang Chen would have likely exchanged those points for something else. If he had turned them into pills and consumed them, it would be an even greater loss for them. It could be said that if they missed this opportunity, they wouldn't have such a good chance again.
Though unwilling in their hearts, they dared not act due to the sect rules. Unable to take action meant there was no need for them to remain here.
In an instant, many clasped their hands toward Sister Qinglian before leaving Xuantian Hall one after another. Before departing, each of them cast a deep glance at Fang Chen, clearly still not having given up entirely. The gazes from Wang Lin and the others toward Song Donglai were even more blatant.
Fang Chen calmly faced it all, watching the backs of those leaving with a flicker of cold light in his dark eyes and a subtle smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
"Is the Alchemy Realm really that impressive?" Fang Chen murmured to himself.
He understood that once the Entry Examination concluded, it would be a different story regarding who feared whom.
