Elder Wan's unchanging old face finally changed at this moment. His cloudy eyes were now sparkling with brilliance, as if he could see through everything, extremely sharp.
He wanted to see through the young man, but he seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, and his thoughts were blocked.
"Title disciple?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was no sound from the crowd around, even the breathing subsided, and it was as quiet as a dead body of water.
Their faces were dull and their heads were buzzing. The three words "Yan Yangzi" lingered in their ears.
No one could imagine that this person was not a registered disciple, nor a direct disciple, but a titled disciple!
This was undoubtedly shocking news that stunned everyone. No one spoke, and everyone stared at the young man in white in disbelief.
"How can it be?!"
"He is actually a titled disciple?!"
After a brief silence, the noise suddenly exploded.
"Aren't there only Senior Brother Zhang Jian, the 'Fire Cicada', and Senior Sister Chu Yiyan, the 'Luo Shen', the titled disciples? When did another Yan Yangzi appear?!"
"Ever since Senior Sister Chu was given the title of Luoshenzi five years ago, there has been no titled disciple. Now, there is one more disciple without anyone noticing, and it has not been made public?!"
The people around were talking about it, and they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was fearless when facing Gongzi Yu and threatened to kill him with one blow. It turned out that he had enough confidence.
This is a titled disciple!
Those who are above the true disciples and direct disciples, which one is not a terrifying existence, which one is not a person of extraordinary talent, which one is not the pride of the sect, and the future top powerhouse of Qinglongzhou!
At this moment, he is also a leader among the younger generation in Qinglongzhou. Facing a true disciple, how could he care and not destroy him with ease
The people in the core disciple area finally understood at this moment why they did not accept the challenge from the big man. It was disdainful and a waste of time!
"Brother is very powerful, if you don't believe me, just try it!"
Now recalling what Little Bit had said, everyone dared not laugh at him anymore. Such a titled disciple, standing before them like an unreachable giant peak, would be strange if he was not powerful!
"Um...Um, Senior Brother Yan Yangzi, I solemnly apologize to you for my previous behavior." The big man walked out from the crowd, with a hint of embarrassment on his rough face.
"What behavior?"
Everyone couldn't help but ask in confusion.
The old man's face flushed red, and he stammered, "Just...just before, when Senior Brother Yan Yangzi passed by, I...I challenged...him to a fight!"
"Haha! You actually dare to challenge the titled disciple, so humorous and domineering!" Everyone laughed and teased.
"That... Senior Brother Yan Yangzi, I also apologize to you for what happened before. Please don't be angry. I will never dare to do it again next time. I will definitely take you as an example and be a good person and do good things." Shan Youde spoke weakly, his chubby face twitching and turning blue.
"What? A wicked person is also targeting a titled disciple?"
Everyone stared at the fat man in strangeness. His shameless behavior was known to every disciple in the sect. All the new disciples had been deceived by him, and he had already become notorious.
As the saying goes, if you hunt geese all day, you will be pecked by them; if you hunt snakes all day, you will be bitten by them. Now, the fat guy has offended the titled disciple and stirred up a hornet's nest. His life will be difficult from now on!
Wutan watched coldly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that status and strength were indeed the rules of survival.
Some of them were the ones who had mocked Gongzi Yu before, but at this moment, they stood aside respectfully and obediently, and some even flattered him.
He shook his head at the big man and the fat man, which meant that he would not care. Then he looked at the old man and said, "Elder Wan, can we change now?"
"Yes...yes!" Elder Wan said hurriedly.
"So he is the disciple of the Great Elder!"
Elder Wan thought to himself that two nights ago, when the Great Elder asked for the Merit Order, he was still wondering who Yan Yangzi was and why he was chosen by the Great Elder. It turned out that he was this young man who had been ignored before.
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. When you get old, your eyesight becomes dull!"
He sighed, and a beam of light shot out from his finger, merging into the merit token, and then handed the token over: "All the merits have been recorded, please check it."
Wutan took the merit order, his thoughts seeped into it, and a few lines of words appeared.
The order of merit belongs to: Yan Yangzi.
Merit: 10,400 points!
Before leaving, Wutan took out four fangs of the Fire Scorpion and several thighs, and exchanged them for a total of fifty merits, but gave them to Shan Youde!
There is no use for him to keep these things, so he might as well give them to others as a favor.
"Thank you!" Wutan thanked her and pulled the little girl towards the Sutra Library.
"Thank me?"
The fat man stood there, motionless, with a look of suspicion on his greasy face. He thought he would be scolded or retaliated against, but unexpectedly he was given fifty merits instead
"what happened?"
The several young men in red clothes around him were also puzzled. They stared at the fat man unkindly and asked him to tell the truth whether he had done any good things without telling them.
The fat man smiled, strode proudly, and walked out under the envious gazes of everyone.
Fifty merits may not be a big deal for direct disciples and titled disciples, but for core disciples, it is a considerable number. Looking at the situation of the woman in green before, you can know how rare it is, so they are envious and jealous!
Moreover, there is a deeper meaning. Since the credit is being given to the fat man, the two must know each other or have some connection.
Many people thought to themselves that when they see a fat guy in the future, they should not treat him the same way as before, but should worship him properly.
Wu Tian would never have thought that his unintentional actions would push Shan Youde to the point where he could not be provoked.
The news of the appearance of the third titled disciple quickly spread throughout the entire sect. Not only the disciples, but even the law enforcers, law enforcement elders, and elders who taught skills were extremely shocked.
The status of titled disciples is extremely high. In the sect, except for the great elder and the sect, they can be said to have absolute power. Even the nine great elders have to give them some respect.
Because they are the proud sun, the hope of Yanzong for tomorrow, the representatives of Yanzong among the younger generation of Qinglongzhou, and the successors to the next great elder and sect master!
The ninety-nine caves in heaven are filled with mist and surging energy, which transform into auspicious beasts galloping in the mountain stream, like a fairy mountain.
In the first cave in the center, the ground is covered with diamonds, emitting a hazy golden glow. The walls are inlaid with agate and colorful pearls, like stars in a crisscross pattern. It is wonderful and magnificent!
This place doesn't look like a cave, but more like a luxurious palace, which is more than two hundred feet long. Various rare treasures are placed around it. Any item would be fought over by core disciples, but here, it is just a decoration.
A young man in black stood in the center of the cave, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Brother Huo Chanzi, there is a new disciple in the sect, called Yan Yangzi. I heard that he is the disciple of the great elder, and he was personally canonized by him. Look..."
In front of the young man in black, there was a golden chair with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, which was very extraordinary. On it was a figure sitting cross-legged, with flames surrounding it, covering the entire body, making it difficult to see clearly.
This person had a very strong aura. Under the light, one could faintly see a pair of eyes, which seemed to be made of flames, steaming with endless flames, which was terrifying!
He is Zhang Jian, the sect master's eldest disciple, and his nickname is Fire Chanzi!
He was like a fire god, with wisps of heat rising from his body, emitting astonishing heat, rolling out in all directions. The young man in black was terrified and broke out in sweat, and his clothes were soon soaked.
Every time I come here, I can feel that Senior Brother Zhang Jian's strength has improved a step further. He is worthy of being the number one disciple in the sect. The much-talked-about Yan Yangzi is nothing in front of him.
Hearing this, Huo Chanzi remained silent, as if thinking. After a moment, a faint but extremely majestic voice came out: "Anything else?"
"Yan Yangzi killed Gongzi Yu with one move, before he even used his full strength. I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes. There was also a little girl next to him, her name seemed to be Li Shishi, she was only eleven or twelve years old, but she possessed a rare bright spirit body and was also a disciple of the Great Elder."
The young man in black paused and continued, "It is rumored among the sect disciples that Li Shishi had just entered the sect a few days ago, and there was a magic frog with her. It is said that she is the disciple who saved Tieshi Town and the sister and spiritual pet of the Huoyun Sect traitor Wu Tian."
"Well? What about this person?" As high-level figures, they knew the situation of the enemy sect very well and naturally knew about Wutan's affairs.
The young man said truthfully, "I heard rumors that Wu Tian saved the disciples of Tieshi Town, and fought against Huo Shi and Liu Yan of Huoyun Sect, as well as a law enforcement elder, and killed the three one by one, but he was also seriously injured. When the elder arrived, he was already dead, so he accepted Li Shishi and the magic frog in order to repay his kindness."
Huo Chanzi pondered for a moment and said, "Yan Yangzi is the disciple of the Great Elder. Don't provoke him. Just send someone to keep an eye on him in secret. Has Chu Yiyan made any moves recently?"
"I have been practicing in the cave and have never appeared."
"Well, you pay attention. If there is any movement, report to me immediately. Get out now."
"Yes!" the young man in black responded respectfully, then turned and walked out of the cave, disappearing into the mountain stream.
"Yan Yangzi...Wutian..."
In the cave, a whisper spread out, gradually disappeared, and then no sound was heard anymore, leaving only dead silence!
There is a cave of the same size on a mountain peak next to the Fire Chanzi Cave, but this place has no diamond floor, no agate or pearl inlays. It is neither magnificent nor luxurious. Instead, it has a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
Dozens of fist-sized luminous pearls are hung on the walls, emitting a hazy luster that is soft and not dazzling.
On both sides, various flowers and plants are planted, with lush green grass and blooming wild flowers. The faint fragrance permeates the entire cave, making people intoxicated!
A woman in black stood among the flowers and bowed, "Senior Sister Chu, this is what happened."
In front is a screen, on which are embroidered various rare birds and auspicious beasts. They look lifelike, as if they are about to fly out of the screen. The air is filled with mist and glow, which is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
"Well, just keep a close eye on it, and advise others not to cause trouble. Get out!"
From behind the screen, a pleasant and crisp sound was heard, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, its voice melodious and lingering in the air for three days!
This voice was really beautiful, like the sound of nature. If there were any male disciples here, they would be distracted and would not be able to help but want to see her beauty.
Such a place is very suitable for cultivation. The essence is as vast as the ocean, just like a fairy cave left by immortals. It is really enviable.
The woman in black looked around, her beautiful eyes filled with envy, and then she quickly retreated. The cave soon became quiet, and no sound was heard from it.
