Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

Zhongzhou within.

In the central region of a vast island, there was a clearing.

Array after array had been set up, enveloping the entire central area.

Runic symbols associated with the arrays were scattered all around.

Various powerful individuals from the Cultivators Alliance stood atop pillars, channeling mana to maintain the operation of the arrays.

Thousands of combat-ready participants were covered by the arrays in the preparatory area, getting ready for battle.

Meanwhile, outside the clearing.

A massive pavilion was slowly flying towards the clearing.

Having reached near the clearing, the pavilion came to a stop.

On the second floor of the pavilion, numerous Holy Land Masters stepped out, gazing from the second-floor balcony towards the clearing.

With their keen eyesight, overlooking this distance to spy on the area beyond the clearing was nothing short of trivial.

"Tsk tsk, only a few thousand left. I guess this Grand Competition of the Thousand Sects is about to come to an end."

"Those damn Zhongzhou Hidden Sects really screwed up this time, damn it, triggering a minor Secret Realm to explode and causing a chain reaction with the others, what a mess! Truly, it's what you'd expect from Hidden Sects!!"

"Originally, our Sect Disciples had a shot at making it to the top hundred this time! But because the Secret Realm where my disciple was located was too close to the one that exploded, the blast was too fierce, nearly obliterating him. Thankfully, I left him something to save his life."

"Exactly! Look at those Disciples from the East State Hidden Sects, they blew up a minor Secret Realm but found nothing. Yet these Zhongzhou Hidden Sect garbages still play with exploding Secret Realms..."

"If you have so many complaints about those few Hidden Sects in Zhongzhou, their representatives are on the third floor, why don't you go and share your thoughts with them?"

"Oh, so it's the third floor?! Go then, go go go, whoever goes is a puppy!!"

"????"

The numerous Holy Land Masters talked amongst themselves.

In their conversations, there was evident dissatisfaction with those few Zhongzhou Hidden Sects.

You say your disciples accidentally set off the Secret Realms, injuring most of our disciples, that's one thing, but you could at least stand up and offer an explanation.

Yet without a single word from you, how can these Holy Lands be content?

But facing the colossal entity that was the Hidden Sects, they could only suppress their anger and choke back their grievances.

However, their resentment towards the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects grew stronger and stronger.

Especially under the instigation of a Sect Master from a Holy Land with the surname Lin, who planned to flee to East State, the discontent amongst the numerous Holy Land Masters intensified.

...

On the other side.

At the third floor.

Several representatives of the Hidden Sects, along with Chu Yuan, Su Qianyuan, Ao Yu, and others, had also arrived at the balcony belonging to the third floor, looking out towards the clearing.

Chu Yuan's cultivation levels weren't high; he couldn't see very clearly and could only make out fuzzy shapes.

This made Chu Yuan feel as if he had become nearsighted.

"Forget it, what's there to see? Let's leave it up to fate. As long as one of the four disciples makes it into the top thousand, it's all worth it."

Chu Yuan muttered to himself.

Thinking this way, he no longer cared to look.

Planning to enter the hall and sit quietly for a while, he decided to wait for the results of the competition to come out.

He turned his head to glance at Su Qianyuan beside him, who was also observing the distant clearing, and was momentarily startled.

Not to say anything, but if I, as his Respected Master, can't see anything, can this simpleton disciple of mine see something?

She even put on quite a convincing act; I almost really thought she had clairvoyant eyes that could see the distant area.

She must be afraid I'd say something.

So this shy disciple must be pretending, just to make me think she can see, right?

```

Chu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Xi Er, let's go, follow your master inside."

Chu Yuan's expression showed that he saw through her facade of toughness.

He waved his hand and took the lead striding back into the attic.

Su Xi stood there, dumbfounded. Were they really going inside just like that?

Were they not going to watch the competition between the brothers and sisters?

She didn't know why she could see so far away.

It seemed...

that as long as she held that Starfish, it could enhance her vision.

But why did her Respected Master call her inside then?

Perplexed, Su Xi dared not defy her Respected Master's command. She put the Starfish back into her storage bag, held onto the hem of her clothes with both hands, and walked back into the attic.

Ao Yu watched Chu Yuan return to the attic and hurriedly followed, not daring to look anymore.

The other Zhongzhou Hidden Sect representatives also felt a wave of surprise as they watched Chu Yuan return.

"This... Does Senior Chu really not plan to watch the rest of the competition?"

"Or does Senior Chu think that the disciples of the Wayless Sect are sure to win, so there's no need to watch?"

"Hiss, last time Senior Chu faced the fight between Ye Wu and Su Qianyuan, it seemed to be a similar situation."

"Come, take a look and see whom the disciples of the Wayless Sect are up against this time..."

"Four unknowns; it's normal for Senior Chu not to bother watching. If I were him, I probably wouldn't bother either, given the strength of the Wayless Sect's four disciples, it's likely to be four overwhelming battles."

"Guess how long it will take for the four disciples to resolve the fight?"

Several Zhongzhou Hidden Sect representatives conversed with each other through transmitted messages.

Inside the third floor.

Chu Yuan, bringing Su Xi and Ao Yu with him, sat down cross-legged as soon as they returned.

To Chu Yuan's surprise, he wasn't the only one there—another Zhongzhou Hidden Sect representative was sitting there, playing with something in his hands and seeming to ponder over something.

Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered with the other person.

Back at his own desk, he began to meditate with his eyes closed.

At this moment, the person sitting alone turned out to be a representative of the Zhenxian Sect.

This person was holding a scroll in his hands, clearly having received orders from Mo Cheng of the Zhenxian Sect.

However, he had no idea how to broach the subject and disturb Senior Chu.

If he ended up displeasing Senior Chu, wouldn't he be done for?

He seemed to have realized.

Mo Cheng, the Sect Master, did not want to come out himself, deciding that no matter what happened, there was no need for him to intervene.

Even if it was the worst case scenario, it meant only sacrificing him.

The evil Sect Master!

The man was inwardly ranting madly but didn't know what to do now.

Perhaps...

He could take this scroll to Senior Chu, pretending to seek guidance?

He covertly unfurled the scroll, stealing a glance.

A creature with a single horn on its head, a body like a lion, and a face with a goat's beard.

Did Senior Chu truly know what this creature was?

The man muttered to himself for a while, but remembering Mo Cheng's orders, he gritted his teeth and went up, planning to ask Chu Yuan in the guise of seeking guidance…
