Unlike the dispirited Shen Clan, the members of the Zhang Clan held their heads high and puffed out their chests. Their eyes were filled with pride.
This time, eight of them had passed the assessment. Compared to the Shen Clan, which only had two people, the difference was like heaven and earth!
"Hahaha!"
The Zhang Clan Leader laughed arrogantly. He walked up to Shen Tianpeng and the rest and sized them up.
He had been observing Lin Ye and Shen Lingxiao for a long time.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Shen Tianpeng bellowed, "Zhang Mo, consider yourself lucky this time!"
"Luck is also a form of strength!"
Zhang Mo's lips curled into a smirk.
The Shen Clan and the Zhang Clan had a grudge against each other. In addition, most of the Shen Clan's disciples had been eliminated by Zhang Ruoxu. At this moment, everyone was glaring at each other.
Zhang Ruoxu stared at Lin Ye, treating Lin Ye as his mortal enemy!
Others thought he was unlucky to have met Lin Ye with a severely injured body. However, he could clearly feel the power hidden in Lin Ye's weakened body. Even if he was at his peak, he might not be a match for Lin Ye.
Therefore, he did not underestimate Lin Ye. Instead, his desire to fight was ignited!
Zhang Ruoxu's talent was not very strong. However, he was able to become the second genius of the Zhang Clan, second only to Zhang Tianhang, because of his extraordinary willpower!
"Looks like you will get fewer resources in the next ten years!"
Zhang Mo sneered. "Without these resources, I wonder how many of you will pass the next assessment. One?
Or all of you will be eliminated? "
"Let's wait and see!"
Shen Tianpeng's lips twitched. He glared at Zhang Mo and clenched his fists.
If it wasn't for the fact that the assessment had just ended, he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to fight with the Zhang Clan!
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mo laughed heartily. Soon after, he looked towards Lin Ye and softly said, "Little brother, I know that you are not a disciple of the Shen family. Are you interested in joining our Zhang family?"
"With your aptitude and strength, if you join the Zhang family, we can provide you with the cultivation resources of a Saint. We'll give you 5,000 Saint Stones every month!"
"What?
Five thousand Holy Stones? "
"Hiss … Provide cultivation resources for Saints!"
"Oh my god, is the Zhang family crazy?
He's actually willing to sacrifice so much for a mere Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint? "
"Hmph! He defeated Zhang Ruoxu when he was only a Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint. If you can do the same, the Zhang Family will treat you the same way!"
In an instant, everyone who heard Zhang Mo's words were extremely shocked and began to discuss in low voices.
Even Zhang Tianhang, Zhang Ruoxu, and the others were stunned in place, their faces filled with astonishment.
Such treatment was enough to attract Saint Realm experts to work for the Zhang Clan. It was truly too generous!
"…"
Raising an eyebrow, Lin Ye revealed a surprised expression. He too had not expected Zhang Mo to think so highly of him.
Five thousand Saint Stones was definitely a huge sum, but Zhang Mo casually said it out loud. It was obvious how much he valued Lin Ye.
One had to know that Lin Ye had many treasures on him, but they were only worth twenty-three thousand Saint Stones. Five thousand Saint Stones a month and cultivation resources were too generous!
Raising his head, he saw Zhang Mo looking at him with a smile. Lin Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
Was Zhang Mo testing him, or was he trying to rope him in?
"How about it? Think about it again?"
Zhang Mo smiled faintly as he stared fixedly at Lin Ye. He did not put the rest of the Shen Family in his eyes.
This enraged Shen Tianpeng and the others, and they glared fiercely at Zhang Mo.
Trying to rope him in right in front of him was no different from slapping his face!
"Zhang Mo, you're too presumptuous!"
Shen Tianpeng snorted and said solemnly, "Since you're so arrogant, how about we have a battle seven days later?"
"Alright!"
Almost at the same time, Zhang Mo, who was looking at Lin Ye, suddenly looked at Shen Tianpeng with a smile. "Since Brother Shen is interested, I won't refuse!"
"Seven days later, let's have a battle!
We'll talk about the specific rules later! "
"Hahaha!"
With that, Zhang Mo ignored the stunned Shen Tianpeng and left the square laughing.
As he left, Zhang Ruoxu looked deeply at Lin Ye and smiled brightly.
Everyone in the Shen Family was stunned, especially Shen Tianpeng, whose mouth kept twitching.
What was going on? He was the one who suggested the battle. Why was Zhang Mo so excited?
Could it be that this bastard is trying to provoke me so that I'll take the initiative to fight him?
At this thought, Shen Tianpeng could not help but have an ominous feeling. He felt like he had fallen into a trap.
But he had already said it, and it was too late to regret it. He could only leave with a gloomy face.
After leaving the square, Dishi Xiao, Tian Yi, and Murong Nan came up to celebrate Lin Ye's success in passing the test.
"Lin Ye, good job!"
"Hehe, only you can hold the Heavenly Purification Territory together!"
Dishi Xiao, Tian Yi, and the others smiled brightly, but they were still ashamed in their hearts.
As the top geniuses of the Heavenly Purification Territory, they did not even have the chance to fight on the stage. It was a huge blow to them!
Noticing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but lightly pat their shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Gold will shine no matter where it goes!"
"We were in the Heavenly Purification Territory and lacked resources. That's why your strength fell behind!
Now that you're here, as long as you're willing to work hard, I believe you'll catch up again soon! "
With Lin Ye's comfort, Dishi Xiao and the others felt much better. They did not disturb Lin Ye and left together.
Looking at their backs, Lin Ye sighed softly and did not care anymore.
Blue Cloud Inn.
Silent Soul, Sun Wuyu, Zhang Shaochu, Zhuge Ling, and the others had already gathered and were waiting for Lin Ye to return.
"Have you all investigated?"
Lin Ye looked at everyone and asked directly.
"Yes, although Saint Martial City is powerful, compared to the other cities, it's still considered weak.
There are only a few Great Sage. The experts on the surface are only Peak Sages. There's no need to be afraid! "
"If we develop here, I'm confident that we can develop it within a year!"
Sun Wuyu and the others were full of confidence. With their current strength, it was indeed no pressure to deal with Sages.
Even if they faced the Great Sage, they had the strength to fight back.
"That's good!"
Lin Ye nodded slightly. "This time, I can take two people with me. Silent Soul, Sun Wuyu, and I will go. As for the rest, five will stay in Saint Martial City to develop. The remaining eight will go to other areas!"
"My request for you is not to become the overlord of a force, but to gather information!"
"Only when we have the information in our hands can we take the initiative!
Do you understand? "
