Chapter 101: Horde of Magical Beasts

Stepping on the array, Elder Jing turned around to look at Yang Wei.

“Hurry up Yang Wei… the array won’t activate unless both of us stepped on it,” Elder Jing said.

Yang Wei didn’t notice the array works like that as he dashed forward to step on the array with Elder Jing.

“Sorry, I thought it just needed one person to activate the array,” Yang Wei apologized shortly after.

“It’s fine because I didn’t really explain much.” Elder Jing shook her head as she didn’t blame it on him.

If she was to blame someone, then she is definitely looking at the Pagoda itself and Senior Zhong Guowei who purposely raised the difficulty.

Meanwhile, back outside on the Pagoda, the sect has finally arrived and is staring at the entrance that Elder Jing neglected because she knew it was a trap.

“Isn’t the entrance to the Pagoda this one?” A sect elder shouted as he pointed at the door.

“Do you think the entrance would be this obvious? The Pagoda is not as easy and simple as it looks on the surface.” Another sect elder snorted and was clearly dissatisfied with the sect elder that believed himself to be smart.

The sects continued to argue with each other on where the entrance is and even Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru kept quiet as they pondered if the entrance is legit.

“Elder Pao Huang, where do you think Yang Wei and Elder Jing entered from?” Lian Xinyue whispered softly at Elder Pao Huang who merely stood still without bothering to communicate with other sect elders.

Elder Pao Huang turned around to face Lian Xinyue as he held a pondering expression.

‘Should I inform Disciple Lian Xinyue about Elder Jing’s plan?’ Elder Pao Huang exclaimed inwardly.

Lian Xinyue narrowed her gaze when her intuition told her that Elder Pao Huang knows what’s going on.

Lian Xinyue looked around to check if anyone was spying on them before sighing in relief.

Afterward, she stepped forward in front of Elder Pao Haung and stared at him with a threatening gaze. 

“Elder Pao Huang, I’m Elder Jing’s most trusted disciple in the sect and my status shouldn’t be any less than a sect elder when I will pass the core disciple examination once it begins.” Lian Xinyue said.

Elder Pao Huang’s forehead started sweating when he could feel Lian Xinyue was about to explode on him.

‘Ugh, some sect elder I am… can’t even deflect an inner disciple,’ Elder Pao Haung cursed inwardly as he blamed himself for the current dilemma.

If it were any other disciples that dared to use this tone on him then he would gladly punish them thoroughly.

Alas, the disciple was Lian Xinyue who had a close relationship with Elder Jing and he was always nervous whenever there was a mention of Elder Jing.

He feared Elder Jing even more than he feared the sect leader himself so Elder Pao Huang sighed softly as he stared at Lian Xinyue.

Elder Pao Huang didn’t want to risk anything as he secretly cast a barrier around them before opening his mouth to speak.

“Elder Jing has already instructed me to not enter the Pagoda at any cost and although I don’t know why she would do this… I can guarantee that Elder Jing is doing this for the benefit of our sect.” Elder Pao Huang said softly and continued. 

“Now, do you understand why I’m not interested in the conversation regarding whether the entrance is legit or not?”

Lian Xinyue nodded her head in understanding as she understood Elder Jing’s eccentric behavior well.

Elder Jing would never explain her action to anyone if she deemed it unnecessary or just wanted to keep it a secret.

Questioning her motive would result in a gruesome punishment and Lian Xinyue’s expression slowly turned pale whenever she recalled the purplish pill Elder Jing managed to refine.

‘No, evil demon hearts go away, Elder Jing is not here to punish me with those pills of hers.’ Lian Xinyue clasped her hand together as she prayed inwardly.

Meanwhile, back inside the Pagoda, Elder Jing suddenly sneezed slightly when the trial just began.

“Achoo, just which bastard is talking behind my back again,” Elder Jing cursed loudly, a completely different person from her usual cold and detached attitude.

‘What happened to Elder Jing?’ Yang Wei said inwardly as he kept his mouth shut since he could no longer comprehend Elder Jing’s behavior.

RUMBLE!

While Elder Jing and Yang Wei retrieved their sword out, the ground started shaking rapidly.

Elder Jing’s expression became gloomy as time passed slowly and cursed when she could feel the magical beast’s aura was exactly like Senior Zhong Guowei said.

“Damn it, not only did Senior Zhong Guowei restrict our cultivation base to the 5th Qi Condensation realm, the magical beasts are at the peak of the Qi Condensation realm with some of them even being in the Foundation Core.” 

Elder Jing shouted in anger as she felt uncomfortable with her current true qi. 

She was used to having her true qi being extremely pure and flowing smoothly in her body but being restricted changes everything.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei felt nothing because he was only in the Qi Condensation realm and merely had his cultivation dropped down three stages so it wasn’t a big deal for him.

“Elder Jing, should I use my battle spirit in this trial or not?” Yang Wei asked when he saw a horde of magical beasts spawning in the forest and mountains.

“No, it’s best that you keep it a secret since you’ll never know if that Senior Zhong Guowei is still lurking nearby,” Elder Jing shook her head as she tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword.

Yang Wei was slightly taken aback when he could feel a murderous aura emitting from Elder Jing.

‘Just how much did this Senior Zhong Guowei do to enrage Elder Jing and made her lose her cool completely?’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he decided to focus on the magical beasts instead.
