Hearing the stooped old man's words, Qin Yao said, "Grandfather, did you know? This time, I met that man that we casually saved in the Divine Wind Nation."
"Oh, he came to the Southern Mountain Land?" It was obvious that the stooped old man was a little surprised.
"Not only did he come to the Southern Mountain Land, but he also became a disciple of the Desolate Sect.
Most importantly, I was able to escape from Wu Ni's hands because of him, "Qin Yao said.
Qin Yao's words shocked the stooped old man. He turned around and looked at Qin Yao and asked, "You are saying that he saved you?"
Qin Yao nodded heavily and said, "If it wasn't for him, I would have died in the hands of Wu Ni."
If the stooped old man was surprised that Fang Chen, who was just a little Qi Transformation Realm martial artist, came to the Southern Mountain Land, and joined the Desolate Sect, then the fact that he saved Qin Yao from the hands of Wu Ni shocked the stooped old man to the point of disbelief.
"Grandfather, his strength isn't strong. He was able to save me because of an array. He thought of a way to trap Wu Ni in the array and then brought me back to the Desolate Sect." Qin Yao explained when she saw the stooped old man's shocked expression.
Hearing this, the stooped old man's shocked heart finally calmed down.
"Why did he save you?" The stooped old man asked. According to the situation back then, that kid shouldn't have known that Qin Yao had met him back then. Why did he take such a huge risk to save Qin Yao?
Qin Yao blinked her eyes and said, "According to what he said, when he received the news that someone was heading towards the direction of the Leaning Water City with the secret treasure inheritance, he came to the array formation. He didn't say in detail who set up the array formation. In short, when I was rushing to the array formation, I was already unable to move forward. At this moment, Wu Ni caught up. When Wu Ni was about to kill me, he activated the array formation and trapped Wu Ni." Qin Yao blinked her eyes and said.
"At that time, he brought me out of the illusion array to obtain the secret manual, but …" When Qin Yao spoke until here, she paused for a moment.
"But what?" The stooped old man asked.
"However, she saw the identity token in my bosom."
Qin Yao said, "After we saved him, we left in a hurry. I left my identity token there. When he woke up and saw my identity token, he hid it on his body. When he saw my identity token, he instantly understood that the warrior who saved him must be from the same family as me. That's why he saved me."
Hearing Qin Yao's words, the hunchbacked old man finally understood.
"How can the matters of the world be so coincidental?" The hunchbacked old man said.
"You didn't tell him that you were the one who saved him."
Qin Yao shook her head and said, "If we're fated, we'll talk about it the next time we meet."
Then, Qin Yao turned around and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond under the moonlight. No one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man sighed and turned to leave.
Currently, Fang Chen was only active within the Barren Sect in Near Water City. For the time being, he was still unable to come into contact with the top forces in the Southern Mountain Land.
As for Qin Yao, Fang Chen didn't think much about it. He just wanted to repay her kindness.
On the Spirit Mountain Peak, in Fang Chen's pavilion.
Ever since he obtained the Minor Success Sword Body, Fang Chen had been hiding in the pavilion to study it. Although the Minor Success Sword Body was only an incomplete copy, this cultivation method was very suitable for a Sword Body possessor to cultivate. Fang Chen was mesmerized by it.
Unknowingly, seven days had passed. One day, Elder Mo personally came to Fang Chen's pavilion.
"Fang Chen." Elder Mo smiled.
"Elder Mo, why are you here?" Fang Chen looked at Elder Mo and asked, keeping the Minor Success Sword Body.
"Fang Chen, you should know about tomorrow's event, right?" Elder Mo asked.
"What event?"
Hearing Elder Mo's words, Fang Chen was confused and asked.
"You actually don't know?" Elder Mo looked at Fang Chen in surprise. Then, he realized that Fang Chen must have stayed in the pavilion and never left.
Thinking of this, Elder Mo shook his head. This kid was really crazy when it came to cultivation.
"This event is a training event for our Spirit Stream faction's disciples. On the entire Spirit Mountain Peak, there are a hundred official disciples. They are divided into fifty groups of two and will participate in the event. In the end, the top three will be rewarded." Elder Mo explained.
Among the three factions, the Spirit Stream faction had the fewest official disciples. The other two factions had a lot of official disciples.
"Oh."
At this time, Fang Chen remembered that Xing Feng stopped him that day and said something about an event. At that time, he was focused on the Minor Success Sword Body and didn't pay attention to Xing Feng's words.
Then, Elder Mo explained the contents of the event to Fang Chen and told Fang Chen that he must participate tomorrow.
After Elder Mo left, Fang Chen's face showed a trace of helplessness. It seemed that he had been holed up in the pavilion and wasn't up to date with the latest news.
Early the next morning, Fang Chen arrived at the plaza of the Spirit Stream Mountain Peak. When he arrived, the majority of the disciples in the plaza were already there.
Fang Chen's arrival didn't attract any attention. Only Xing Feng, who was in the crowd, looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully.
After a while, someone in the crowd exclaimed. Fang Chen looked over and saw that it was a few disciples. Judging from their auras, they should be the top disciples of the Spirit Stream faction.
As expected, Fang Chen heard the discussions of the surrounding disciples.
"The top ten disciples of the Spirit Stream faction are also here. I wonder who will get the top three this time."
"Is there a need to ask? It will definitely be one of the top ten disciples. I heard that the ten of them have been divided into five groups. With that kind of strength, we have no chance at all."
"That's right. The top ten disciples are too strong. How are we going to survive?"
"That's not necessarily true. This event is a combination of intelligence and strength. Strength alone isn't enough."
"That's right. Although they are the top ten disciples, as long as we avoid them and make full use of them, we definitely won't lose."
Fang Chen looked at the top ten disciples. Each of them was surrounded by dense Spiritual Strength to prevent others from probing them.
"The top ten disciples." Fang Chen sighed. There was still a certain gap between him and the top ten disciples.
However, Fang Chen believed that there would be a day when he would reach the same height as the top ten disciples.
The arrival of the top ten disciples completely ignited the atmosphere in the plaza. Countless disciples looked at the top ten disciples with reverence. They were all fighting with them as their goals.
After a few minutes, Elder Mo also arrived. Beside Elder Mo, there were a few other elders. They were also elders from the Spirit Stream Mountain Peak.
Elder Mo waved his hand to indicate for everyone to quiet down. He then said, "This event is targeted at all the disciples of the Spirit Stream. It can also be considered a kind of tempering for you."
"Everyone should know the content of the event, right?" Elder Mo asked.
Yesterday, Fang Chen already knew the content of the event from Elder Mo.
In this event, one hundred disciples would be divided into fifty groups. Each group would have two people. All the disciples would enter a mountain range next to the Spirit Stream Mountain Peak.
This mountain range was specifically used to train the disciples of the Spirit Stream. The demonic beasts inside were basically between the second and fifth level of the Condensing Reality Realm.
There were one hundred Spirit Pearls hidden in this mountain range. The disciples of the Spirit Stream would enter the mountain range and try their best to obtain the Spirit Pearls. The time limit was seven days. The group that obtained the most Spirit Pearls would win. It was very simple.
However, this event didn't just rely on strength, it also relied on intelligence.
Some of the places where the Spirit Pearls were hidden couldn't be obtained with strength. Instead, it required intelligence. This gave all the disciples a certain amount of hope.
Unlike before, the Spirit Pearls would not be monopolized by the top ten disciples.
In addition to being on guard against other disciples stealing the Spirit Pearls, they also had to be on guard against the demonic beasts in the mountain range. In short, this was a comprehensive tempering.
All the disciples were in high spirits. Their faces were filled with excitement. They couldn't wait to enter the mountain range.
