Chapter 467: Caught the Elder's Discerning Eye
Moreover, their identity, seemingly glorious, is actually somewhat awkward.
Because these four individuals are merely registered disciples of Elder Zi Xu. So far, Elder Zi Xu has not taken any Cloth Bowl Disciples.
Unlike the Dan State Branch of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, in the Main Pulse, the esteemed status of Elder disciples is extremely high.
Even if one is just a registered disciple, they can still wield considerable influence within the sect.
If one inadvertently commits a serious crime, an Elder intervening on their behalf can greatly increase their chances of being saved. Because every Inner Sect Elder in the Main Pulse of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect holds an exceptional position.
Just like the Supreme Elder of the Dan State Branch.
The say of each one holds great weight.
"Master, that youth's attire seems to be of a disciple from one of the sub-sects below."
"No wonder he looks so unfamiliar!"
"Wow, look quick, that youth seems to be simultaneously controlling nine sword auras. Could he be from the Nine Yang Sword Veins?"
Although these individuals are Heavenly Prides of the Main Pulse, hearing the words Nine Yang Sword Veins still makes their hearts tremble, for the Nine Yang Sword Veins are the Supreme Sword Vein, only rivaled by the Nine Yin Sword Vein.
"Jia Zhenjing is about to lose!" Elder Zi Xu said with certainty, a trace of a playful expression on his face.
Although Jia Zhenjing's strength is not impressive, his identity is not low. He is the son of the Sect People's Mansion Zong Ling.
The fact that he had to resort to dueling with that sub-sect youth on the stage shows the extraordinary nature of that sub-sect youth. If it weren't for Jia Zhenjing being pushed to the brink, even his influence couldn't suppress it, he probably wouldn't have condescended to personally deal with that sub-sect youth.
"Boom!"
Jia Zhenjing screamed miserably, as he was slashed off the platform by Chu Feng, this time falling far more tragically than the last.
The first time, it was merely embarrassing.
This time, he directly fell face up, and couldn't get up for quite a while. His subordinates quickly ran over, competing to help Young Master Jia up and check his injuries.
Fortunately, it was just a minor injury.
There were no broken bones or severe wounds. It's probable that Jia Zhenjing's internal organs got shaken due to Chu Feng's sword.
"Jia Zhenjing, you lost! Are you convinced this time?"
Chu Feng, having successfully comprehended the Third Level of the Qiankun Sword Technique, no longer needed to be concerned about Jia Zhenjing. If Jia Zhenjing still played tricks and refused to admit defeat, Chu Feng wouldn't mind tormenting him once more.
"Hmph, so what if I lost?" Young Master Jia's face was sinister, his eyes filled with Evil Qi.
Being publicly defeated by Chu Feng, his face as an Inner Sect Disciple was utterly lost.
"Fair play, accept the loss, and quickly handle the sect registration for everyone in our Dan State Branch!" Chu Feng declared loudly.
"Did this young master ever say he would handle it for everyone? I don't remember that!" Young Master Jia was blatantly reneging, preparing to deny any such agreement. His gaze even fell upon the jade pendant held by Han Xiaoying.
This ancestral jade pendant, being too precious, losing it like this left him extremely aggrieved.
The only way was to take it back.
Chu Feng did not expect Young Master Jia to be so shameless, publicly, in front of so many people, to make a bet and not honor it when he lost.
"Jia Zhenjing, what do you mean?" Chu Feng's expression suddenly changed, his eyes brooding Killing Intent.
The account of the Eternal Life Pill Master is not so easily evaded.
If this Young Master Jia remains stubborn and does not handle the sect registration for the people of Dan State Branch, Chu Feng wouldn't mind causing a massive upheaval.
"Hehe, no special meaning, just that they cannot join the sect!" Young Master Jia sneered coldly, taking his shamelessness to the extreme.
Pu Li and others were furious. Being able to mix in with the Sect Master, Supreme Elder, and True Disciples of the Dan State Branch, none were simple characters. Repeatedly being played, obstructed, and humiliated, even a mud Bodhisattva would lose its patience.
Just as the people from the Dan State Branch were about to tear their faces off with Young Master Jia, ready to fight to the death.
Elder Zi Xu, accompanied by four Registered Disciples, flew over controlling their swords.
Even without deliberately releasing his aura, his presence was like divine intimidation, making everyone's hearts tremble and fill with dread.
"Inner Sect Disciple Jia Zhenjing, pays respect to Elder Zi Xu!"
Jia Zhenjing, frightened by the appearance of an Inner Sect Elder, turned pale and paid his respects on the spot.
"What's the meaning of all this? Why haven't you processed their initiation?"
"Is there a problem with their identities?"
Elder Zi Xu's voice was exceedingly cold as he asked three questions in a row.
Thump!
Jia Zhenjing almost died of fright, his tongue stumbling as he squeezed out an uglier-than-crying smile, tremblingly said, "Misunderstanding, a great misunderstanding! I was merely joking with them; I will process their initiation right away."
Having said that, Jia Zhenjing turned his head and barked at the subordinates from the Sect People's Mansion, "What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and process their initiation!"
The members from the Sect People's Mansion also turned pale with fear and dared not hesitate any further.
They immediately put all their efforts to help Chu Feng and others with their Sect initiation registration.
Don't look at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect having over a million sect disciples; the management is extremely strict. Every sect disciple's initiation is strictly scrutinized. Only after confirmation is the registration into the genealogy allowed.
Only by having their names in the genealogy, can they truly be considered sect disciples.
"I do not wish for a next time! Otherwise, even Jia Zongren won't be able to protect you!"
Elder Zi Xu left behind a cold remark, then flew away on his sword. He gave Chu Feng a light glance as he passed by.
Chu Feng didn't speak but respectfully bowed to Elder Zi Xu.
It was a gesture of respect and also gratitude to Elder Zi Xu for standing up for justice.
"This lad, quite interesting. With a straightforward nature, neither sycophantic nor arrogant!" Elder Zi Xu's lips showed a slight smile, his hand subconsciously stroking his beard.
The familiar Registered Disciples of Elder Zi Xu cast envious glances at Chu Feng.
Perhaps this lucky youngster doesn't even know that he has caught the favorable attention of Elder Zi Xu.
As long as he doesn't make big mistakes in the following days and diligently cultivates, his chances of being accepted as a Registered Disciple by Elder Zi Xu are tremendous.
Following behind Elder Zi Xu, Qin Shan coldly swept a glance at Chu Feng, then swiftly shifted his gaze to that strikingly gorgeous figure.
Han Xiaoying's beauty, pure and ethereal, stood out like a crane among chickens.
Even compared to Li Shishi, whose beauty was exceptionally remarkable, she still outshone her.
"May I inquire the lady's esteemed name? I'm Qin Shan, an Inner Sect Disciple. Currently, I'm a Registered Disciple under Elder Zi Xu. I hold a slight bit of influence within the sect. If this Jia Zhenjing dares to hassle you again, feel free to seek me in the Inner Sect."
Qin Shan greeted Han Xiaoying with a smile, his face the epitome of humble gentlemanly demeanor.
He indeed is interesting.
Ignoring Sect Master Pu Li, he chose to specifically greet Han Xiaoying, the sect's foremost beauty.
This is a bit too revealing of his intentions.
Clearly like a big bad wolf, luring prey into his trap.
