Just like that, I winked at Grandmaster Chen and then swaggered away. According to Grandmaster Chen's plan, he wanted to find someone to ask about the reward for the dojo challenge, but I told him that I wasn't in a hurry. Right now, my Qi-Jin and internal energy were almost exhausted. However, with the Golden Snake Sword to protect myself, even the two bosses couldn't see any clues.
In fact, a warrior's cultivation was basically equal to the grade of the refined weapon. Refined weapons were divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. Warriors were "Light and Dark". However, the Golden Snake Sword was beyond the upper grade refined weapon category, and it also brought me some hidden benefits. Unless the warrior's realm was beyond the peak of Transforming Strength or the ninth level of Supreme Power Realm, they wouldn't be able to detect my situation.
Unfortunately, Grandmaster Chen and Ye Duzui happened to be at this critical point. They thought that I didn't want to cause trouble and also wanted to save some face for Hall Leader Situ. If this matter were to spread throughout the Martial Arts Pavilion, he wouldn't be able to live in the future. Anyway, today's main purpose was achieved, and the champion's reward would come sooner or later.
At the same time, on a mountain a few hundred meters away from the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Two figures were surrounded by misty mist.
"Old man, didn't you say that this kid would return without any achievement today?"
A hoarse male voice sounded, revealing a gloomy feeling. He was wearing a black robe and a mask, and a pair of ink-black eyes were staring at the old man next to him.
The old man had silver hair, but he was full of energy and his face was ruddy. If I were there, I would recognize him at a glance. This old man was Elder Tianji, Sun Baifa!
"This … please calm down, my lord. I really didn't expect that this kid could change his fate with the help of a divine weapon. But don't worry, my lord. According to the divination, he will face a catastrophe soon!" Elder Sun said solemnly.
"So, we don't need to do anything. He will be beheaded?" Black Robe asked slowly.
"More or less." Old Man Sun nodded.
"What do you mean almost?
If he doesn't die, you will. "Black Robe said lightly.
"Ah, milord, don't be like this. I've read that brat's fortune a long time ago, and he almost drew down the wrath of heaven. Furthermore, I've been studying his fortune all this time. His fortune is too profound, and there's no such thing as an absolute."
Old Man Sun also knew that his ambiguous words had caused Lord Black Robe's displeasure, so he hurriedly explained.
"Don't make excuses for your incompetence. I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, hmph. Oh right, is there any movement from the Blood Demons?" Black Robe could not help but ask.
"No … I haven't been able to contact him for a long time. The benefits that he promised me haven't been fulfilled yet. As expected, the words of a devil cultivator can't be trusted!"
Old Man Sun shook his head, and there was some regret in his eyes. But just as he finished speaking, he felt a bone-piercing chill, and he shrunk his head.
"Sir, I didn't mean anything else …" Old Sun quickly explained. As the saying goes, a loose tongue can cause trouble. He naturally understood this principle.
"You don't have to tremble in fear. Just do your job well. It won't be long before there's news of the Blood Demon." Black Robe glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Yes!" Old Man Sun lowered his head and said submissively …
Not long after, I sat in Ye Duzui's car. When I arrived, the atmosphere was undoubtedly a little stiff. After the fierce battle just now, the atmosphere became more and more strange.
"Cough! Master, Uncle Ye, do you have something to say?" I took the initiative to open my mouth and break the awkward atmosphere.
"Xiao Zhuang, please don't call me Master … I don't deserve it."
Grandmaster Chen cleared his throat and blushed. To be honest, he wanted to worship me as his master, especially after seeing my smooth sword skills. It didn't look like the skillfulness of a young martial artist less than twenty years old.
"Master, what are you talking about? Do you have a problem with me?
It's said that a teacher for a day is a father for life. You can't expel me from the sect just because your disciple has made some achievements! "I said with a sad face.
"Uh …" The two big shots couldn't help but smile. The atmosphere was not as stiff as before, but the way they looked at me changed a lot, especially Ye Duzui. His eagerness couldn't be concealed at all.
"It's okay, Xiao Zhuang. Old Chen doesn't want you, but I welcome you here at any time!"
Ye Duzui said excitedly. Even without the Golden Snake Sword, my comprehensive strength would not be weaker than a peerless master in the middle and late stage of Transforming Strength. My future was simply limitless.
A mere Guowei Martial Arts Dojo really couldn't accommodate such a martial arts genius. It was a typical small temple with a big Buddha!
"Hey, Brother Ye, you can't poach my disciple. I've been looking forward to having him as my last disciple. If he runs away with you, I won't be able to cry to anyone!" Grandmaster Chen said anxiously. His anxiety was obvious from the inside out.
"Ahem, Old Chen, you have to have confidence in yourself. I just said it casually. If Xiao Zhuang has this intention, you can't stop him. After all, if he comes to me, he will definitely have a better development, right?" Ye Duzui laughed.
"Master, don't worry. I can't be a slave to two masters!"
I didn't mince my words. Grandmaster Chen had saved my life. Moreover, he knew that I was the cause of the Blood Demon, but he had kept it a secret for me. He had taken a great risk, and I had always been grateful to him.
If I chose to leave the Guowei Martial Arts Dojo because of a few words from Ye Duzui, then I would have lost my principles.
"Ahem, Xiao Zhuang, don't be in a hurry to give me an answer. I haven't told you my identity yet," Ye Duzui said, looking a little embarrassed.
"No need. No matter what your identity is or what organization you are from, I can't agree to it. This is the responsibility of a man. However, I still have to thank you for your good intentions. At the very least, it means that you have acknowledged me," I shook my head and said unhurriedly. However, my words showed the determination in my heart.
