Chapter 71 Questioning the Elders
Xiao Ye's question made Gu Chudong's expression stiffen.
Indeed, he had never seen the beast, and even the other elders of the sect had never seen the beast. They just roughly guessed the level of the beast and threw the task to the outer sect.
Or perhaps, it is difficult for the sect to take outer disciples seriously, so without further confirmation of the risks involved, the sect lets the outer disciples complete the task.
If the sect's top leaders knew that this ferocious beast was a precious beast, I'm afraid even the sect's most mysterious black-robed elder would come in person.
"This new guy is really brave. He even dares to question the elders." Many outer disciples talked about it, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.
They had long been fed up with Gu Chudong's behavior, and at this moment they couldn't help but stand on Xiao Ye's side.
“Hmph, a mere outer disciple actually dares to question me!” Gu Chudong’s eyes were cold, and his innate true energy swept out from his body, causing all the outer disciples in the hall to feel their breathing become heavy.
Feeling the fluctuation of true energy, Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, without any retreat.
"You are only in the early stage of the fourth level of the Innate Realm. Sooner or later, I will surpass you!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes.
The silver-robed elders are all outer disciples who have not passed the Puppet Tower before the age of 25. To be honest, the silver-robed elders are all eliminated and their qualifications are naturally not that strong.
For example, Gu Chudong, who had been in Chongyang Sect for so many years, was only at the early stage of the fourth level of the Xiantian Realm. With the Tower of Time in hand, it would not be too difficult for him to surpass Gu Chudong.
"Wang Tianxiang, come here!" At this time, Gu Chudong shouted coldly.
Wang Tianxiang shuddered and ran over quickly.
"You and Xiao Ye went to complete this mission together. You tell others whether this is the head of the ferocious beast?" Gu Chudong said meaningfully.
"No! That ferocious beast has the strength of the third late stage of the Innate Realm. Junior Brother Xiao will definitely not be able to contend with it." Wang Tianxiang said loudly.
He and Gu Chudong stand on the same side, so he will naturally speak for Gu Chudong.
"When Junior Brother Xiao and I discovered the beast, I advised Junior Brother Xiao to leave quickly, but he insisted on completing the mission, so I had to return alone."
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Xiao couldn't kill the ferocious beast, so he just got a random beast head to fool the elders." Wang Tianxiang said with regret.
Xiao Ye sneered in his heart , Wang Tianxiang was really shameless, telling lies with open eyes. Fortunately, he was prepared. He wanted to see what other tricks these two people had.
"Humph, everyone heard it, right?" Gu Chudong was very proud when he heard it. He looked around the entire mission hall and said, "Xiao Ye fooled the elders, his crime is unforgivable!"
"It has been a month since I accepted the mission, but I have not been able to complete it, and I have not come to the sect to report within ten days. This is an even greater crime!"
"Taking these two charges together, Xiao Ye, as the silver-robed elder, I will abolish your cultivation and expel you from Chongyang Gate!" Gu Chudong said majestically, as if a high and mighty god was judging a mortal.
Abolish your cultivation and expel you from the sect!
Hearing this, everyone was surprised and looked at Xiao Ye with sympathy.
It is very rare for Chongyang Sect disciples to be expelled. Unless they have made serious mistakes, they will be punished at most.
"It's a shame that Chongyang Sect has an elder like you." Xiao Ye sneered coldly.
"How dare you insult the elder? No one can save you today!" Gu Chudong was furious when he heard this.
At this moment, Xiao Ye turned around and said to the outside of the hall: "Come in."
Gu Chudong was stunned and looked up at the door, only to see a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes striding in.
"My dear elder, I am a villager from Qingshan Village at the foot of that barren mountain. I can prove for you that this ferocious beast head is indeed owned by the ferocious beast in our area." said the middle-aged man.
What!
The mission hall was completely silent, and many outer disciples looked towards Gu Chudong.
Gu Chudong's face darkened. He had not expected that Xiao Ye's mind was so meticulous that he even invited the villagers at the foot of the barren mountain.
"Hmph, you just got a ferocious beast's head and asked a mountain villager to testify for you. Do you think this can prove that you have completed the task?" Gu Chudong sneered.
No matter what, he would not let Xiao Ye walk out of the mission hall safely today.
"I brought the head of a ferocious beast, but you didn't verify it and said I was lying. I asked the villagers to testify, but you still said I was lying. Could it be that the huge Chongyang Sect is named Gu?" Xiao Ye's eyes were cold and he shouted loudly.
Facing Gu Chudong's oppression, why should he endure it? Others feared Gu Chudong's identity, but he didn't need to worry about it at all. If it really didn't work, he could just reveal that he had materialized the true meaning of martial arts.
Between a genius and a silver-robed elder, I believe the sect will definitely choose the former.
The outer disciples in the mission hall were stunned. It was the first time they saw someone dare to question the elders in this way.
Faced with Xiao Ye's questioning, Gu Chudong was speechless and his body was shaking with anger.
"You are really sharp-tongued. I want to see if your strength is as sharp as your mouth!"
The innate true energy in Gu Chudong's body surged, sweeping across the entire mission hall like a violent gust of wind. The outer disciples with weaker strength were all shaken back by this powerful true energy.
"Hmph!" Xiao Ye's eyes were as scorching as the sun, and his fighting spirit was soaring.
So what if he was the silver robe elder? It was impossible for him to bow his head!
Today, Xiao Ye, even though he is seriously injured, is determined to fight with Gu Chudong to demonstrate his unyielding faith. This is his true intention in martial arts!
"Get out of here! Isn't this shameful enough?" Suddenly, an old voice sounded in the mission hall.
An old figure in a golden robe appeared on the scene, and his sharp eyes swept towards Gu Chudong.
Phew!
Gu Chudong was struck hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and took several steps back in exhaustion.
"Elder Lingyang!" Seeing the old man, Gu Chudong's face changed drastically and he quickly saluted respectfully, not daring to breathe.
"It's the golden-robed elder who guards the Chongyang Secret Realm!" Xiao Ye was shocked.
Yes, the person who came was the golden-robed elder at the entrance of Chongyang Secret Realm, Ling Yang.
The mission hall was in an uproar; the golden-robed elder who managed the inner gate had actually come to the outer gate in person!
They stared at the old figure with fervent eyes, their faces full of admiration.
The silver-robed elders are all at least sixth-level innate realm warriors, and they are people they can only look up to.
"You kid are really stubborn. Aren't you afraid of death?" Ling Yang seemed to be scolding Xiao Ye, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Thank you Elder Lingyang for your help!" Xiao Ye saluted respectfully.
"Yeah." Ling Yang nodded, then looked at Gu Chudong indifferently, "I've heard that you, Gu Chudong, are all-powerful in the outer gate's mission hall. Now that I see you, it's true to your reputation."
"This... Elder Lingyang, this is all a misunderstanding!" Gu Chudong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he was filled with shock and anger.
This Elder Ling Yang is obviously helping Xiao Ye. When did Xiao Ye make friends with the golden-robed elder?
"Hmph, there's no need to say more. If I hadn't happened to pass by here, wouldn't an outer disciple have been wrongly accused?" Ling Yang snorted coldly.
"Elder Ling Yang, this Xiao Ye is trying to fool me with the head of a ferocious beast..." Gu Chudong said hurriedly, but was interrupted by Ling Yang before he could finish his words.
"Those villagers jointly petitioned the sect, and I was the one who received them. This person is a villager from that village. What else do you have to say?" Ling Yang said calmly.
Gu Chudong's expression froze and he could no longer speak.
Even the golden-robed elder testified for Xiao Ye, what else could he say?
"Elder Gu, can you give me the mission points?" Xiao Ye said coldly.
"Yes...yes!" Under Ling Yang's gaze, Gu Chudong laughed dryly and quickly transferred 8,000 points to Xiao Ye.
This task was originally to be completed by Xiao Ye alone. With Ling Yang present, he naturally didn't dare to have any other thoughts and gave all the task points to Xiao Ye.
Ling Yang glanced at Gu Chudong, snorted coldly, and left the mission hall with his hands behind his back.
"Gu Chudong, Wang Tianxiang, I have taken note of this matter. When I become an inner disciple, I will settle accounts with you." Xiao Ye left a word and turned away with the villager.
"Do you think you can become an inner disciple?" Looking at Xiao Ye's back, a cold light flashed in Gu Chudong's eyes.
Xiao Ye came to the outside of the mission hall and was surprised to find that Elder Ling Yang had not left, as if he was waiting for him.
"Elder Lingyang." After Xiao Ye asked the villager to leave, he walked over puzzledly.
"Boy, the appearance of such a silver-robed elder in the sect has caused you to suffer oppression. The sect owes you." Ling Yang said, staring at Xiao Ye.
"I will report this matter to the sect, expel Gu Chudong from the sect, and give you justice." Ling Yang continued.
Xiao Ye felt touched. Elder Ling Yang had waited for him specially to apologize to him.
"Elder Lingyang, there's no need for that. He's just a jumping clown. Sooner or later, I will personally seek justice from him." Xiao Ye said confidently.
"Oh?" Ling Yang smiled, "It seems you have the confidence. I look forward to that day."
After saying that, Ling Yang put his hands behind his back, turned around and left.
"I got 8,000 points. Now I have a total of 9,200 points. If I go back and borrow some from the second brother, I will have 10,000 points!" Xiao Ye said excitedly.
He had already thought it through. Since he had offended Gu Chudong, it would be difficult for him to accept any more missions. Moreover, it would take too long to accumulate points, and he didn't want to wait.
I believe it would be easy to borrow 800 points from Li Wufeng.
"Gu Chudong, Wang Tianxiang, what will be your expressions when I appear in front of you as an inner disciple?" Xiao Ye sneered.
Inner disciples are superior to outer disciples, and even the silver-robed elders dare not offend them. As long as he becomes an inner disciple, the rules of outer disciples will not apply to him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye headed towards the valley where the outer disciples lived.
After a long time, Ling Yang, who had left long ago, actually walked back slowly.
"It seems that the sect's top leaders have misjudged him. This kid is not a waste at all, otherwise, it would be impossible for his cultivation to improve to this level after just two days of training in Chongyang Secret Realm." A gleam of light flashed in Ling Yang's eyes.
"Moreover, this kind of mentality is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
